[edit] Hi!

Hello! Nice to see a fellow Malayali editor here. My hearty invitation to WP:KERALA and WP:INDIA—two wikipedia workgroups consisting of people interested in devoloping Kerala and India related articles to good and excellent standards. Hope you decide to join them. Also, please dont feel offended that I reverted your edits on the Kerala page. Wikipedia has a policy that dissalows usage of copyrighted text from other websites on its pages. Hope you understand. Looking forward to more edits from you,--thunderboltz(Deepu) 14:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mbcet_emblem.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

== I'am fed up with copyright issues ==

Dear all,

I am fed up with copyright issues.

One year back I created a page MBCET, which is my college. I have put some info I knew about the college, also, I have put a logo of the college. The logo, someone made it, seniors gave it to us with their project reports, someone brushed it up, someone cleaned it, I resized it. We students, use the logo on our college reports and all, it’s just a logo, not a trademark.

I thought that I have done a good thing to the world by creating a wiki page.But, ever since, I have been getting messages of deletion notice for that picture, haunting me like I am some kind of plagiarist.

I am fed up with explaining. First i told that no one holds any license. Then after some time i saw picture was deleted. What else am I supposed to do. So I gave the name of the guy, I believed, brushed the pic up for the last time as the copyright owner. Now I'm getting that same old notice on my talk page,” No source specified”. Can’t a person be a source? .Then I thought,” May be they should be some website's name from where this picture was taken”. The same picture was used in the college website. I am forced to give some source, any source. I can only point to my college website. But then, if I give the college website as the source, then the Vigilantes will tell, “no copy-paste from websites". Any way I cannot make a sincere edit. Either Vigilantes ask for source, or say its copy-paste.

There are thousands doing vandalism, blatant copyright violations, Why are the Vigilantes after me. I can’t do any more. My first voyage to educate world turned out into a nightmare.

I am fed up with explaining multiple times that, "no one hold a license at all" or "such and such person holds license" .

I accept that, "wikipedia respects copyrights”. But vigils show some flexibility. Its not a patented rocket science, Its just a college logo, that some guys like me drew in photoshop. My college is not going to sue wikipedia, because wikipedia has the college logo.

This is too much. When I say "no one holds any license" ,why don’t the vigilante believe.

How should I convince them? Upload a picture of a letter from the College Director, authorizing Wikipedia to use the logo, and releasing the logo in GPL, and uploading another picture of another stating that the last letter posted has not copyright. Isn’t it sick? Or should I go out emailing my seniors about who made this logo.

No one will post any thing in wikipedia with such a bureaucratic hustle.

Knowledge is free. Just because knowledge comes in a picture, it does not mean that it should be owned by a person or organization. There are some pictures in the world that do not need a copyright notice. Approach copyrights with commonsense, not with mechanical fury.

Now I understood one thing:

Vigilantes are the No 1 wikipedia enemy, not vandals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ajitvin (talk • contribs) 15:57:38, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

The thing I was trying to tell was already a discussion topic .Its called fair use.I think I am for Fair Use.
