re: Bangla wikipedia

Hi Aditya, you can take a look at http://ekushey.org/projects/shadhinota/uni_joy.html . This is a keyboard manager that maps the Bijoy layout to Unicode. You can also look at the other keyboards in that site. I personally am comfortable with phonetic writing with Avro, but if you need to use Bijoy layout, I think the UniJoy layout from Ekushey will be good for you. Thanks. --Ragib 16:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

So, have you been able to access and view the Bangla wikipedia correctly? Thanks. --Ragib 14:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I'm asking, because the article on Bandarban district over there could also use your contribution ... --Ragib 15:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for considering my contribution as valuable. I hope to contribute to the Bangla Wikipaedia soon. (Aditya Kabir 14:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC))

Image:Kyang Bandarban.jpg

Can you also upload the images taken by you or your friends to wikimedia commons? That way, we can use the same image in Bangla wikipedia as well. Also, when you upload, use the category Category:Bangladesh there, so others can find it easily? Thanks. --Ragib 19:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Being technologically handicapped as I am, I have looked into the wiki commons feature and found myself unable to upload anything there, much less in a decided category. Please, guide me. And also, let me know how I can attach charts and tables to my entries.
For table, see here. For uploading to commons, go to http://commons.wikimedia.org and you'd find a similar "upload file" link on the left. To use categories in image files, just use Category:Bangladesh on the image description page. Thanks. --Ragib 15:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Photos of artists

Since you are associated with drama and the cultural area, could you do all of us a favor? In both en and bn wiki, we don't have freely usable images of artists from BD. All articles are stuffed with Fair use images, which I assume will be removed pretty soon. So, could you arrange to have some photos of artists, actors etc uploaded to commons? I assume you have some in your albums? Let me know. Thanks. --Ragib 04:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I don't have photo album (not organized enough for one, I guess). But, I definitely can take some photos of those available and upload to the Commons. Good idea. Thanks. - Aditya Kabir 05:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Wikipedia

Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Wikipedia, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation. Recommendations:

  1. Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.
  2. All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.
  3. Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.
  4. Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.
  5. Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.
  6. Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.
  7. English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).
  8. If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended: हैरी पॉटर ने ''[[:en:Pensieve|Pensieve]]'' के अन्दर ''[[:en:Little Hangleton|Little Hangleton]]'' गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ ''[[:en:Merope Gaunt|Merope Gaunt]]'' को देखा. ''[[:en:Resplendent Quetzal|Resplendent Quetzal]]'' पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० ''[[:en:Pablo de la Llave|Pablo de la Llave]]'' ने काफ़ी शोध किया था. Whence,
    • हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा
    • Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था
  9. Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
  10. For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
    • 1. The name in bold ('''अपोलो''')
    • 2. starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : [[:en:Apollo]];)
    • 3. The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicized phonological transcription within / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन''))
    • 4. the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन [[यूनानी धर्म]] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन [[रोमन धर्म]] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।) For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.
  11. Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article ([[en:Appolo]])). These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.
  12. Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
  13. Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
  14. The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
  15. For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
  16. Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
  17. When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
  18. Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.
For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy. This page can also be found here.

Vernacular scripts

I think the points you raised at the village pump were good ones. Utcursch has floated a proposal for controlling the use of vernacular scripts here Wikipedia:Vernacular scripts. I think you should copy-paste the points to the discussion page there, where it is being looked at by a number of admins, including non-Indians. Gamesmaster G-9 18:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Bangla script needed

Bharat Dev Varma, Animesh Debbarma, Chinglen Nongdrenkhomba, Dasarath Deb. Pretty much Category:Tripuri people, and Category:Meitei people. Both Tripuris and Meiteilon use Bangla script.Bakaman 04:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Reply - I support Proposal 3, but do add the Bangla script to all articles in Category:Tripuri people, Category:Meitei people, and Category:Meitei royals. Bangla is the best fit for these articles. Bakaman 00:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

bn wiki and some other comments

I'll reply to your latest arguments about city and town designations soon. By the way, the Bangla wikipedia needs more contributors ... would you care to check it out?

My other comment is about the galleries in your user page. While some images there are free or PD images, many others (like the screenshots and the Riya Sen image) are under Fair use licenses. Therefore, you cannot use them on your user page under any circumstances. Please remove them. The Fair use principle for using images allow using them ONLY to illustrate the subject. User pages are not allowed to have fair use images. Thank you. --Ragib 07:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

For relevant policy, please refer to Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy, especially policy #9. Thanks. --Ragib 07:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm removing unfair pictures. And, the Bangla font interface still scares me. - Aditya Kabir 07:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Have you tried this or this? You don't need to install anything to use these to write Bangla (either phonetic or Bijoy). --Ragib 07:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

By the way, you have two more: The Bangabondhu speech photo, and the Dave Steven's magazine cover. Both are under fair use, and can't be used in user pages. Thanks. --Ragib 17:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Removed. Happily. Are here any Muktijuddho images uploaded that I can use on my userpage? - Aditya Kabir 18:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we don't have any Muktijuddho photos in wikipedia. I'm sure that Muktijuddho Jadughor or other entities would happily give us permission to use those images, but I wasn't able to contact any. If you know someone from these or "projonmo 71" or other orgs, you can ask them for permission to use their photos. Those will be a great addition to the Bangladesh Liberation War and related pages. Thanks. --Ragib 18:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Your image dispute

Hi. I'm TechnoFaye and I'm writing this because you had perfectly good images you uploaded marked for deletion by Abu Bidali. You should know that he does this because he thinks it's funny; he even says so on his user page. More then 20 other editors just like us are parties to several formal complaints to Wikipedia in an effort to have him banned permanently for doing just what he did to you. Others have described him on the record as a "hoodlum" and a "vandal". My testimony was that "Bidali would be just as happy breaking antennas off cars at night". After he is gone, we can repair the damage he has done to WP. If you haven't already, please consider adding your name to the lists at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_Who_Endorse_This_Summary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_who_endorse_this_summary:_2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_who_endorse_this_summary:_4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Other_users_who_endorse_this_summary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Abu_badali#Users_who_endorse_this_summary

Wikiproject History of Bangladesh

Hi. I noted your comment on my talk page. I have already started tagging "history=yes" in WP Bangladesh tags in topics that seems historical to me. But I think the Project page could use an "assessment" section to summarize these taggings. I'll see if I can work on that area when I get adequate wikitime.

I've noticed your works on Bangladesh related topics. Impressive indeed. By the way, we should try to merge Gulshan (Dhaka) with Gulshan Thana. If we can do that it will give us an ideal structure for articles on Dhaka thanas. The structure can be used to elaborate other thanaks- Dhanmondi, Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Ramna and so on. Please take a look when you have some time.-Arman Aziz 06:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

BM College / Barisal

Aditya bhai, I'm trying for a major expansion of the Jibanananda Das article, with a possible drive towards FA-status in a few weeks' time. Would you happen to have any access to pictures of BM College, BM School or other locations in Barisal with a Jibanananda connection? Any help greatly appreciated. All the best. --Peripatetic 19:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Aditya bhai, Many thanks for your comments/suggestions. Rest assured that I will do as much as is possible in terms of referencing, formatting, structure etc etc before I put it up for any kind of peer review. I actually created the JD article over two years ago as a stub and left it at that. (The section that is now Biography was the start of the piece, as you'll see from recent diffs).
But in the meantime, it had many tuki-taki accretions from various editors, not all of them necessarily good, so I've decided to do the whole thing over from scratch, this time in much greater depth and basically going for FA at some point. I've picked up a couple of books on JD from Dhaka earlier this year, especially Fakrul Alam's book of translations and Debiprasad Bandopadhyay's book JD: Uttor-Porbo which is basically a collection of several hundred articles and essays that appeared on JD in the Kolkata press between 1954 and 1965.
I'm also ordering Clinton B. Seely's JD biography which is seen as the standard work in English, and some more books from the Parabaas bookstore [1]. So hopefully I'll be pretty well covered for sources. There is one book in particular that I'm lacking and that is Debiprasad's earlier volume called JD: Bikash-protishtha'r iti-britto and it seems that this would be particularly valuable in that it contains all the critical assessment of JD that appeared during his lifetime in the Kolkata literary press. It's a long shot but if you could be of any assistance in tracking this book down, I would be most grateful. As I live abroad, it's difficult to get hold of original sources ei bideshey boshey!
Best wishes. --Peripatetic 20:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Bengali translation request

Aditya bhai, could you provide translations for the following phrases please:

  • Shopner Shomadhan
  • Shopner Shomadhi

Thanks. (PS: I do intend to respond on your review page - just haven't had the time to yet). → AA (talk • contribs) — 14:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I wasn't sure whether Shomadhan should be translated as "fulfilled" but Realised might be a better word. It's in the context of a company slogan where they finish of the advert with "First Solution - Shopner Shomadhan". Take a look on the article First Solution Money Transfer. I'm slowly working on this article. There are plenty of sources and it is a big scandal in the UK currently. I certainly have a POV so trying to wait until facts come out so that I can maintain an NPOV when doing the write up. If you have any time, feel free to add to it. → AA (talk • contribs) — 15:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

SSC (Bangladesh)

As I turned on to add some info about SSC in Bangladesh I saw a common article there.

{{INA stub}}

Hi Aditya, wonder if you can help. I created a stub for articles to with Azad Hind and Indian National Army, and it has just been nominated deletion on what I thought were more to with MoS grounds rather than substance and importance of the content. I don't know wether you know anything about this at all, but if you do (or if you have any comments), could you please have a look here. Cheers.Rueben lys 12:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Bashir confusion

I was having a look at the Murtoza Bashir article. Then I found out their is another article for him entitled as Murtaza Bashir. So we should delete one of them redirect that to another. I also bought a poster of Bashir's painting from Ekushey Boi Mela where I found out his name written as Murtaja Baseer, the same spelling which is regularly used by The Daily Star(not all of this papers names aren't correct though). Google search show the result to all of these. So Please bring a conclusion to this confusion. --Tarif from Bangladesh 11:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Gone for review

AA is currently on editor review. You may comment about their edits here.
Aditya bhai, thanks for your kind words - I do intend to go for adminship soon as it would help immensely in my vandalism patrolling, so keep an eye on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/AA. As far as more Bangladeshi articles goes, my next task will be Osmani International Airport or Zia International Airport but before then I have an unfinished article (Fatimah) which needs to go to GA. Many thanks for your help and lets hope Biman flies into FA status without any disruptions to its schedule :) → AA (talk) — 19:33, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Facebook about to be deleted

Hi, as one of the people with a picture on Wikipedia:Facebook, figured you might be interested in knowing that it is up for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Images of Wikipedians (2nd nomination). - Ta bu shi da yu 02:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Copyrighted images

I'm not sure if you have done this often, but I noticed that you put non free images into the article bikini. I've removed them since they were not in fair use. Please read the guidelines about how to use non free images. Thank you. --Steinninn 03:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

(e) If there is no doubt wether or not to remove the image, remove it.
I wasn't planing on reporting it to the one that put it up. But a few days later I decided to be „nice“ and tell the person. I will not go around talking about every edit that I'm going to do to an article, even if it's removing images. Only if the edit is somewhat controversial, I will. In this case, after my experience with Wikipedia policies, I felt that this one didn't. --Steinninn 05:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not saying that I know the policy more then you. This you made up. Or misunderstood me. Have you read Wikipedia:Ten things you may not know about images on Wikipedia, especially number 4? If you want to put the pictures back up, put it at Talk:Bikini, not on my talk page. I have nothing more to say about the matter. --Steinninn 20:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Using non free images in fair use is not a guideline, it's a policy. And non of these images had a fair use retaliation for Bikini. --Steinninn 02:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Poverty in India

There is a debate is going on in the talk page of the article about the incluson of an image. User Nikkul in defence of his argument is continuously making personal attacks against me, giving examples from other articles. This user is making wild accusations on me. I will request you please read the relevant sections on this page to give an inside in this user and to understand who is incivil. Please read the texts like these [2], [3], [4]. The Bodggaya beggar image is more appropriate than others because:

  • You may know, many beggars live a condition like this, many of them have various disabilities.

There is no "typical" definition of poverty, or beggar. There are abled beggar, disabled beggar. The purpose of the article is depicting poverty. The other beggar images which this user want to place deleting the Bodhgaya beggar image are not good quality, one is B&W, and the other depicting a beggar girl in Ladakh. But my objection here is that Ladakh is quite different from rest of the country because of its geographics. Majority Indians live in plain. And this Bodhgaya beggar image is showing poverty at its most extreme level. It is not right to conceal the situation of poor men like this, it is the truth, the reality. This image touches the heart of the reader, which is a real situation. Yes not all beggars are disabled, but is this an argument? On the other hand it also can be said that not all beggars are abled. Our job here is not to understand who is abled, or who is not. But to find a good image which is representative of many.

  • This user is repeatating his arguments and has taken a densive position by his ad hominem attack on me. This user has informed many partisan editors, like User:Hkelkar socks about the image. Any one do not agree with him, here I am trying to depict poverty, and he is labelling me as Indophobic. The only reason given against this image that "since all beggars have not messed up legs, this image is undue". But it is an anti-individualistic argument. So what if not all beggars do not have messed up legs? The fact is that such secenes is a reality and it would not be right to conceal it. Such scenes exists, it is the truth. If it is reality, if such scenes exits, then an article depicting poverty i.e. "the condition of lacking full economic access to fundamental human needs such as food, shelter and safe drinking water", only those images should remain which clearly illustrate this fact.
  • Please remember the article is not about India, but the article is about poverty. This article is not depicting India, depicting poverty in India. So such image is not deriding India, it is illustrating the poverty in India. This image will be very appropriate, because such scenes does exist along with other types.
