[edit] Nice

Nice meeting you. If you stick around, may we can collaborate on Bangladesh stuff. Check out the Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh to find how much the growth Bangladesh has seen on the Wikipedia. And, oh, the "idiot" in the shut-off button would be me, if the button is pressed. Otherwise, I may pretend not to be an idiot and go about my bungling ways.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Deshtv logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Deshtv logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media Image:Deshtv logo.png is now used on Article: Desh TV, mean it is now non-orphan. Thanks

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Rankstel logo.gif}

Thank you for uploading Image:Rankstel logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] RE: Deletion

CSD G11 reads "It does nothing but promote some entity and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic" in other words, I felt that the article was on a topic that was not notable enough for wikipedia, and thus its presence on the site was (deliberately or not) akin to advertisement or spamming (see WP:SPAM). Don't take it personally, we get hundreds of articles an hour, sorting through them is a quick and seemingly rather blunt process. If you read WP:SPAM and WP:N and you should get the help you need. Hope that helps you. SGGH speak! 21:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: List of companies

The wikilink policy for the list of companies is there only to prevent people from adding tons of redlinks of perfectly non-notable companies that turn Wikipedia into a platform for advertising. The best way to have a company included in the list is to start an article, or a stub, on it and then put a link into the list. There may be a few companies, like KAFCO, that may feature there without an article created first. But, it would be very nice to have that inclusion supported by an in-line citation. It is great that you want to make the list comprehensive, and I am sure you don't want your good work spoiled and soiled by redlink spamming. And, oh, while you are at it, look out for "software companies". Bangladesh has no software companies, and therefore anything that shows up under that heading is only good for quick removal.

Oh, I have just noticed your BRAC Bank tragedy. It was probably deleted because someone suspected spamming and advertising. I would suggest that you start the banks on the List of banks in Bangladesh page, a bit beyond just a name (i.e. a bit of copy establishing notability, supported by reliable third-party references put as in-line citations). When the material has grown substantially, create a page for the individual bank. I have done the same for Grameen family of organizations, and so far it is working. On top of that, if you have a legitimate entry which someone tagged for speedy deletion, do remove the speedy deletion tag quickly, explaining why it was removed. If it is put to AfD, include it into Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bangladesh. Other editors from the Bangladesh project will be able to take part that way. It worked for Eastern Housing Limited, and will probably work again. Aditya(talk • contribs) 02:45, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your information and advice. I will do it acordingly. Thanks 'Bauani' • Talk2me

[edit] Help page patrol

Hi Bauani. As you're listed listed on Wikipedia:Help Page Patrol, I thought you might be interested in a discussion regarding the use of the {{resolved}} template. Editors have argued that it slows the loading time down through the use of graphics in particular, and also it is sometimes incorrectly placed, leaving some editors with an incomplete or incorrect response. Please express your thoughts at Wikipedia talk:Help desk#Recent constant use of the resolved template. Thanks, and keep up the good work. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
