Image:Nashik8.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nashik8.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigrTex 22:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I added a short history of the Samadhi building, with pages from Lord Meher in parentheses. Can you please turn them to wiki-references? Hoverfish Talk 19:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Sharnak 20:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Huma bird of paradise.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Huma bird of paradise.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Mirage book.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mirage book.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Rainbow flags

Hi, firstly congrats as you're doing a great job on the article. When it comes to image sizes and setting pixels it was pointed out to me that using the thumb size without pixels is generally the best way unless there is some special reason to set a pixel size. To set your own preferences use the "My preferences" link and click on "files" where you can set your own default for images you're viewing. Benjiboi 16:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Benjiboi. I like the way you fixed it. And your suggestions have been really brilliant. Sharnak 16:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sharnak (talk • contribs).

Merger proposed: Wagle estate → Thane

It has been proposed to merge the content of Wagle estate into Thane. Since you have previously edited one of these articles, I thought you might be interested. You're welcome to participate in the discussion if you like. --B. Wolterding 20:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Happy Birthday Baba.jpg

Hey fellow Wikipedian! Your username is listed on the WikiProject Films participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:FILM editor, please add your name to the Active Members list. You may also wish to add {{User WikiProject Films}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. We also have several task forces that you may be interested in joining as well.


Also, elections for Project Coordinators are currently in sign-up phase. If you would be interested in running, or would like to ask questions of the candidates, please take a look. You can see more information on the positions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Coordinators. Thanks and happy editing!

Sai Baba of Shirdi

THis article is a Good Article candidate? WOuld you like to review it? Best regards Kkrystian 11:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I think this would be a bad time to try to apply for GA status, as the Sai Baba article remains too unstable. It's not a real bad thing. Most people who use Wikipedia have no idea about such status concerns. It is more an inside pride thing. Better to just go on improving it and not worry. I did take a good look at it, and generally think it is good. That's what counts, not the designation. Good luck. Sharnak 14:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. But there's only one disputed sentence. Kkrystian 17:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Well then, can you tell me the right process that I should go through to do a proper review of the article? Sharnak 23:54, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

It is descriped on the page WP:GAN (e.g. in the section "How to review an article"). Thanks. Kkrystian 12:13, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Kkrystian, I have carefully read the article and am sure it is a good article and am ready to pass it. But one rule against such passing is that there cannot be an ongoing dispute. Please first settle this issue in the discussion page to address the concerns of others, and if there is agreement I will pass it for GA. If you want, you could take a vote, but from looking at the discussion I think you don't stand a good chance. I'll keep checking back so see that that is resolved. Sharnak 12:40, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

THe edit war is over, I've agreed to Redtigerxyx's compromise solution that this sentence ist to be placed in the article: Sathya Sai Baba. Kkrystian 14:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Kkrystian, I did as you asked. I wonder if you could do me a minor favor also. The article Rainbow Flag has a B status in all categories, although it is a very good stable article. However, I did so much editing that I can't even nominate it for GA status in any of its categories. Could you do that for me -- in the main category of Heraldry and Vexillology? I'm not exactly sure where you list nominations for GA for a Wikipedia:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology article. If you could do this though, it would be much appreciated. Sharnak 15:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
I've already done it. Kkrystian 15:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
Much obliged. Thank you. Sharnak 20:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Meher baba rolling strone.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Meher baba rolling strone.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 14:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Gabriel Pascal

Hi Sharnak, the article about Gabriel Pascal is currently being translated into German. First of all, thanks for your extensive work. Given that the early career section is not particularly well referenced - do you still remember your sources for that part, and more specifically for Pascal's nudism? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance --20percent (talk) 23:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

20percent. Actually almost everything in the article is from Pascal's only biography by his wife Valerie, A Disciple and His Devil (1970). It is now back in print through iUniverse as a paperback. If there is anything you would like an exact page number for let me know and I'll look it up. I have the book on my shelf. Sharnak (talk) 23:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Wow, that was quick. Thank you very much. --20percent (talk) 23:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I am currently searching the page for the nudism you asked about and will add it to the article. Sharnak (talk) 23:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

There is also a story of Pascal climbing a mountain in the nude only to stumble nude into the firelight of a goat herder in the valley. His life was nearly beyond belief, but this is the account of his wife, the only one that exists of his early life. I added two references to the article. Sharnak (talk) 00:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
