[edit] Re: Bidhan Nagar edit on 26 December, how's it spam?

Hi, I have just come accross a message you left for me at my ip address talk which said "Your edit to Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata on 26 December 2006. Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Victor 02:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I went up and looked the edit you talked about, and I had just linked the city centre link in the article, to City Centre (shopping mall). How and why did you come to the conclusion that it was inappropriate, and that I was spamming, and moreover felt it was serious enough for you leave a message on my ip talk page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.176.105.35 (talkcontribs) 12:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] District templates

We have not had occasion to discuss matters. I recently came across your note on the Rajarhat talk page. I have been working on the cities and towns for some time. I started with transfers of material from Ganeshbot and then got involved. Recently, I have put in a district template for all towns in West Bengal. Maybe, I have missed few here and there. Please have a look. Feel free to make corrections, as you deem fit. Regards -- P.K.Niyogi 03:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your response and also your warning about the Bankura map. I have added it. Yes, slips do take place. I have been editing pages without any regard to personal attachments. It is a good learning experience. Regards -- P.K.Niyogi 04:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I too wish you all the best on Republic Day! --Bhadani 16:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bangla wikipedia, again

Hi Victor, I've written earlier about Bangla wikipedia. Have you looked into it yet? We need more Bengalis, especially those from West Bengal. Thanks. --Ragib 00:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hi Victor, Though it's a minor issue, I just want to point out that you cannot use "fair use" images at User:Victor.P.Das/Images I have uploaded. Such images are subject to strict usage guidelines, and any usage or display of the image must be on a page where the usage will be fair under the criteria (i.e. an article about the object).

I suggest that you remove the thumbnails to FU images and just link to them ... an example is like this Image:Logo hcs.JPG. Thanks. --Ragib 17:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, you can use thumbnails for images with licenses that allow for it. Fair use is just another name of using a copyrighted work under a strict and narrowly defined way ... you can ONLY use it to illustrate the object. Even if you had uploaded it, the image is still copyrighted. Any usage of it outside the strict fair use criteria isn't allowed, and so, user pages/subpages cannot have fair use images (see #8 on the criteria page). Hope this helps. --Ragib 18:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
