[edit] Speedy deletion of Harinavi

A tag has been placed on Harinavi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] History?

I am not able to understand what you want to add to the South 24 Parganas pages. Do you want to write the history of South 24 Parganas as a whole or about places in South 24 Parganas? However, I would like to comment on the citation in the Harinavi page. Nowadays, it is desirable to have in-line cites. Earlier, I had used general references as in the biography pages. I will have to work again to convert those pages into ones with inline cites. My advice to those starting new is to start with inline cites only. Take for example the Cossipore page where I have used full inline cites both from books and the Internet. In the Saptagram page I have used inline cites mostly from books. The cite is a reference to what is written, i.e. if somebody wants he can verify what you are writing from the references. Now take the Harinavi case. Harinavi is not a ‘census town’ and it does not appear anywhere in the census records you have quoted. It is probably part of Rajpur-Sonarpur for census and election purposes. Where is it mentioned? Do you have any references for that? You have mentioned three books as reference. These books have something about Harinavi, but nothing of what is there on the Harinavi page is mentioned in the books. The mere mention of a place does not make it a proper reference. What you write must be supported by the cite. If you are interested in developing town pages, please go through Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian cities. That will be of some help. I do not know if I have been able to explain things properly. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). You will usually find the tildes at the top left hand side corner of your key board. Regards. - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 11:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Adi ganga.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Adi ganga.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 09:29, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

I find that you want to use user boxes on your page. Please study Wikipedia:Userboxes and I think things will be a bit easier for you. As regards photographs, you cannot upload copyrighted material. However, photographs older than 100 years are copyright free. You have to mention this in the description column. Regarding source, merely saying 'from a book' normally will not do. You have to be more specific. Mention the name of the book. If it was published more than 60 years ago, mention the date of publication. As per Indian copyright laws some pictures can be used 60 years after publication. There is plenty of information on this in Wikipedia. Study these to avoid pictures being deleted.

[edit] Apolapbad o bharat Itihas

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Apolapbad o bharat Itihas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Atul kulkarni.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Atul kulkarni.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Mspraveen (talk) 19:59, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
