[edit] Leftist Politics in Sri Lanka

I think this is an interesting subject to you, so you can continue this with my guide lines given below. I think it is helpful to you.

British colonial era and Sri Lankan people's uprising.
Forming of the GCSU.
Forming of the LSSP and CP.
1953 Hartal.
General strikes in public sector 1960's.
Forming of the JVP.
1971 youth uprising.
1987-89 insurrection.

Thank you.

[edit] Bracegirdle

If the article is moved to Mark Bracegirdle it will leave a redirect to there from Bracegridle, as per Elvis, which is redirected to Elvis Presley (and Pilate -> Pontius Pilate), my formatting of dates was purely to avoid the redirect. Having read your notes on the article's talk page I seem to already upset you over those - didn't mean that at all, so I'll refrain from further edits to the article.

[edit] BLOCKED!

I have been blocked by the 'Hall Monitor' for 'serial vandalism'. I wrote immediately, but received no reply. I have therefore sent again this email via the relevant page:

My Ip address as given by your page is

220.247.230.151

I searched for this on the 'blocked' log, but have not been able to find it for the past 2500 users (ie dating back to 15 December).

I have edited after this. I am at a loss to know the reasons for this. I have definitely not vandalised any pages.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:LSSP Youth League Kalubowila banner c1960.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LSSP Youth League Kalubowila banner c1960.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. cohesion★talk 09:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Anti war rally c1940.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read 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, please check 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. Thank you. CLW 13:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have any concerns, contact the bot's owner: Carnildo.

Given that this was your own picture, I assumed you were releasing this under the GFDL and as such, have declared that to be the licensing for this picture. If this is incorrect, please feel free to change it. howch e ng {chat} 19:18, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Vinod,

could you look at the article and at what Bodhi dhana is doing to it? I'm quite speechless. Cheers, Krankman 10:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Hammer sickle and four.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hammer sickle and four.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 02:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Anil 2.jpg

Hi - I noticed you uploaded this image and it is tagged with {{GFDL-presumed}}. If you created the image, please change the tag to {{GFDL}} or another appropriate free license. If you did not create the image, or if you need help picking an appropriate license, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks! -SCEhard T 16:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SLTB logos.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:SLTB logos.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.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
