Welcome!! --Gurubrahma 14:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your welcome note Gurubrahma. I have edited the page of Jayendra Saraswathi. There are certain issues of media bias vis a vis the Supreme Court's judgements. May I request you to go thru and advise me as Doldrums states that it is wiki's policy not to consider the Court's judgements as NPoV but would treat the media reports as authentic sources. For this he has drawn reference to help page. Who is an admin of wikipedia. Does an admin's view represent Wiki's views so authentically? Can you please elaborate?

 * noticed your reply only now; typically, you shd be replying on my talkpage. It doesn't matter if it is the court or the media - they can be used as sources for facts alone and not for POV. The judgment of the court can and should be mentioned prominently, imo, as it is more important and its consequences more far-reaching, than the trial by media. I am one of the 700+ admins but it doesn't matter as an admin has the same privileges as any other user in editing. Pl. reply on my talkpage in case you need further clarification. --Gurubrahma 17:35, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Role of admins
Hi, more can be found at Administrators. There is nothing called a wiki official view on the content of an article content per se. However, the policies of Wikipedia such as WP:5P are paramount. btw, when you edit a talkpage to insert a new message, click the "+" sign next to the "edit this page" button so that the new message you insert is automatically placed at the end of the page. People may miss new messages if they are placed either top or middle of the page, so it should always be at the bottom. --Gurubrahma 13:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:His_Holiness_Sri_Jayendra_Saraswati_Swamigal.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:His_Holiness_Sri_Jayendra_Saraswati_Swamigal.jpg. 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 indicate why 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 under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

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.
