August 2010[edit]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Jerry Amaldev, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. This is your third time that you've removed maintenance tags. Please don't do this again. --moreno oso (talk) 15:00, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs[edit]

Hello Zaacboby! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 943 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

License tagging for File:Shyam-musician.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Shyam-musician.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Shyam-musician.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. ww2censor (talk) 21:16, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree File:Shyamcomposer.jpg[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Shyamcomposer.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --ww2censor (talk) 21:20, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Ouseppachan22.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Ouseppachan22.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 in|article name}} 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:28, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use and wikipedia[edit]

Hi Zaac, In wikipedia, we cannot generally use pictures of people still alive as fair use. Only those depicting dead people and historically significant incidents can be used as fairuse.--Sodabottle (talk) 16:24, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Shibu Chakravarthy has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Mhiji 03:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Ouseppachan 01.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Ouseppachan 01.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 "file" 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 "File" 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. Fut.Perf. 17:06, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Gayatri Asokan.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Gayatri Asokan.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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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. Fut.Perf. 17:46, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Ottayal Pattalam.jpg.jpg[edit]

Warning[edit]

Please stop uploading non-free images, especially if you don't know their copyright status. Such images can never be used. Please do not upload anything from now on unless it's photographs that you took completely yourself, with your own camera, until you have made yourself thoroughly familiar with our Wikipedia:Image use policy. The many warnings above should have shown you that these uploads are useless. If you continue making such uploads, I may have to block your account. Fut.Perf. 18:12, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have speedily deleted the two files (File:Jose Prakash.jpg and File:Shariyo Thetto.jpg). In the image decription box you claimed that the images are under the CC-BY-SA license; in fact they come from websites with an "All rights reserved" copyright notice. Don't upload images with false copyright information; deliberate uploading of copyright-infringing images constutes vandalism and may result in you being blocked from editing. (If the copyright holder has released an image under a free license, this release has to be verifiable; he should either put a notice of the release on his website, or contact the mailing list to confirm the licensing. See the guideline on donating copyrighted material.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 00:23, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please stop uploading files with false copyright information. The file File:Bhakta Kuchela.jpg is not under the Creative Commons license; why did you include this claim in the image summary box? Likewise, it isn't a video cover. I have been generous and marked it as a film screenshot instead of speedily deleting it outright, but please note that the image will be soon deleted anyway unless a fair use rationale is added; see the fair use policies and guidelines. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:K. Raghavan.jpg[edit]

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

If you created 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 in|article name}} 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.

Final warning[edit]

This is a final warning. You have again uploaded several images with evidently false claims of "cc-by-sa" licensing. If you still don't understand our licensing rules, please simply don't upload images. Fut.Perf. 08:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Santha P. Nair.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Santha P. Nair.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Armbrust Talk Contribs 15:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Shantha p.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Blocked[edit]

Despite my final warning above, you have again continued with the same bad image uploads. You are obviously either unwilling or unable to understand the most basic principles of copyright and our non-free content principles.

You can be unblocked on condition you promise to abstain from all image uploads, until further notice. You may use the {{unblock}} template to request a review. Fut.Perf. 16:40, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Chamaram.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Chamaram.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 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).

The article Shibu Chakravarthy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

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.
