Sources for Potem Falls[edit]

Hello, good work on Potem Falls, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Potem Falls? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! BRIAN0918 03:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Black Rock Falls.jpg[edit]

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Black Rock Falls.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image 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 images, 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. Stan 05:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Barr Creek Falls.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Barr Creek Falls.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. Stan 04:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Salmon Creek Falls.jpg[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Salmon Creek Falls.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. -SCEhard T 22:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:LimekilnFalls.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:LimekilnFalls.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

image upload - copyright[edit]

I have uploaded a bunch of waterfall pictures I have taken on my camera. While uploading, I have tried to give as liberal a copyright notice as possible... I don't care who/how the picrutes are used (I don't own and don't want to own any of the waterfalls :-) ). Still folks keep bouncing my pictures - don't know how to move on.

I want these pictures be restored or I can load them again - but, can some one point me to an easy page that suggests best possible selections to make in image upload page - so that no one will ever delete it for copyright/ownership reasons. I don't even need credit for the pictures I have taken (I am not a professional photographer - let these pictures be in place until some professional puts up a better picture there).

Mark'em as Public Domain ({{PD-self}}), and strongly assert that they are your own work. That's the best I can think of, anyway. --maru (talk) contribs 00:24, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're talking about Image:Salmon Creek Falls.jpg, Image:Black Rock Falls.jpg, Image:Barr Creek Falls.jpg, and Image:Mill Creek Falls.jpg? I've re-uploaded the last three for you and given them appropriate copyright notices, but I don't have a copy of the first.

For future reference, when you upload images you've created, select "Copyrighted, author releases all rights" from the license dropdown menu, and add a brief description of where and when you created the image to the "summary" box on the upload form. --Carnildo 06:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Aragalur.PNG[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Aragalur.PNG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Image copyright problem with Image:LimekilnFalls.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:LimekilnFalls.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 created this image yourself, please look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#For image creators, select one of those tags, and add it to the image. To do that, simply go to Image:LimekilnFalls.jpg, click "edit this page", and add the appropriate tag. Be sure to remove the current tag indicating a lack of licensing!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at User talk:Angr or at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. —An gr 20:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Thank you very much for the barnstar. I really appreciate that. That was a great gesture. That will encourage me to participate in wiki with more zeal. Thanks a lot. Gnanapiti 22:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Barnstar[edit]

Thanks for noticing my articles. As you saw, I'm a great fan of South India especially the Western Ghats. I see your footprints around Protected areas of Tamil Nadu and that you've started a few nice articles about places in Tamilnadu. You may be interested in joining Protected areas of India and starting Wikipedia:WikiProject_Protected_areas_of_India#PAI_All_States__Start_articles about Protected areas of Kerala or Protected areas of Karnataka article which are missing but needed. I think you're from Salem Dt. What I remember most of that place is the awsome Mangos which are famous all over the state. Regards, Marcus 18:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, but...[edit]

Hi Pinecar - thanks a lot for the Barnstar. I'm really puzzled though - I made a minor change to the Software Testing page (which was removed), so why do I deserve one? Robinson weijman 22:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Well, now I've seen your explanation, I'm very grateful. To be honest, I thought you had made a mistake! But thanks again - it's great to be appreciated and does wonders for my enthusiasm! Robinson weijman 19:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dhanyavad, but...[edit]

Namasté Pinecar, sorry, I just logged in today. I saw the barnstar here. As I see you seem to give this also to other people. From your edits here I see you are since long in wiki active. But I feel like I have not so much contributed like others on the article Software Testing. So I am not sure about it. As I see you come from India? ----Erkan Yilmaz (evaluate me!, discussion) 22:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of PIN Codes in Tamil Nadu[edit]

An editor has nominated List of PIN Codes in Tamil Nadu, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of postal codes in India and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. Jayden54Bot 18:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LogLogic[edit]

A tag has been placed on LogLogic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ··coel acan 05:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply. You did have non-free content on the sandbox page (Image:MIT Seal.png, Image:CardSeal-1.gif, Image:Hmc seal.png) and others. This content is not allowed outwith the mainspace (articles) per WP:FAIRUSE. I have no intention of deleting the university pages as they are mainspace.

Re. this diff[edit]

What's software testing got to do with the Latin phrase? -- Menti sock 14:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's just a minor application of the phrase though. Putting a portal on an article makes it seem like the article is all about the phrase being associated with software testing, which isn't since it's mostly philosophy-related.

By the way usually we sign our messages on talk pages with ~~~~. -- Menti sock 18:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Bigtent[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Bigtent, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Bigtent is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Bigtent, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Speedy deletion nomination of Northscale[edit]

A tag has been placed on Northscale, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Pythagorean Approximation[edit]

The article Pythagorean Approximation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced with not enough context to place it in history or establish its notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Salix (talk): 17:15, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Upper Falls 2.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Upper Falls 2.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 09:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Black Rock Falls.jpg missing description details[edit]

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:Black Rock Falls.jpg is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors to make better use of the image, and it will be more informative for readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:49, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Executive response team until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Andrew (talk) 23:08, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Ancient Milestone from Aragalur.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Ancient Milestone from Aragalur.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:27, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PROD of Rob Strickland[edit]

Hi Pinecar, when you added a PROD tag to Rob Strickland, you may not have noticed, but the article was previously prodded in 2008. Once an article has been prodded and de-prodded, a new prod is out of order, no longer how long ago the old one was. Please feel free to nominate the article for deletion using WP:AFD. Also, in the future, if you add a PROD tag to an article, please make sure to include "PROD" or "proposed deletion" in your edit summary. It is very difficult to process prods when you have to hunt through edits to find where it came from. --B (talk) 21:42, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:15, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of United Farmers Association[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on United Farmers Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

DISRUPTIVE EDITING AT TAMIL BRAHMIN[edit]

Hello, @Pinecar:. Thanks for reverting the recent edits of an IP Address user at Tamil Brahmin! Recently, on another occasion, it has reverted your edits again and I have undone them as they were disruptive in nature. In line with this, I would like you to call an ADMIN's attention to settle this dispute. Honestly, I do not know any admins here haha. So please contact one and tell him/her to block the IP Address user 2409:4072:9e:a472:c6b7:9400:bf63:53ba for edit warring and disruptive editing. Thank you!

Proposed deletion of H. K. Ghazi[edit]

The article H. K. Ghazi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable civil servant

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Mccapra (talk) 21:37, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to keep this article so that the Wikipedia audience has more awareness of the role H. K. Ghazi played in the general elections in Madras.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Coffee Badging (March 5)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Coffee Badging and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
