[edit] Welcome

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Just one minor point, though - on the edit you made to Andrew Symonds, stating that he was aboriginal, you didn't cite any sources for your claim. As he was born in Birmingham, England to West Indian parents, I'm a bit unsure as to how he can be Aboriginal? Sam Vimes 18:19, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, I can't find any evidence for it either, so I'm afraid it has to be left out until someone finds a source (and, as I said, if he's born in Birmingham to West Indian parents, as conventional wisdom, i.e. cricinfo, says, then I can't quite see how he can have aboriginal blood and I assume that the commentators just made a sweeping conclusion from his skin colour). However, Jason Gillespie is apparently of aboriginal descent, and the first acknowledged Aboriginal Test cricketer, according to [1], so I've added that to his article.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Ratan Tata.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ratan Tata.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. --Supercoop 20:27, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
