India related links
Hi, as a person who has been here for more than a year, you may know of these links but I thought it best to send them anyways as I did not see them on your talk page. Excuse me for cross-postings, if any. --Gurubrahma 17:36, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Your note on my talkpage
Hi, I am an ignoramus wrt computers. I've put the question at Help_desk. You may want to follow the responses there. Regards, --Gurubrahma 07:02, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I'll respond here:
 * A possibility is that your web browser is being sent the wrong MIME type, which is used to identify the type of data being sent by the web site to your computer. But checking this, the Wikipedia web server does not send the wrong MIME type. I can think of a couple of possibilities:-
 * You use a proxy server which changes the MIME. Try work out how to disable the proxy server.
 * Your web browser has somehow got strange settings. Download another web browser (you could try Opera or Firefox, or at least update your Internet Explorer version.
 * I'm sorry if that's not helpful enough. jnothman talk 07:24, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Orioane's RfA


Hey ! Thank you very much for your support on my RfA. To my amazement there were no negative or neutral votes and the result was (28/0/0). I am now an administrator so I'll try and do my best in this new position. I'll be happy to answer any comments or requests from you. Thanks one more time, Mihai -talk 20:32, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

hello... as regards your message about editing this page - I find currently there should not be any problem to edit the page - please try, and let me know. Happy editings. And, a very happy New Year to you. --Bhadani 06:18, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I saw some of your edits, and they are really fine. Please contribute more to the Project wikipedia. Let us build the best encyclopedia of the world. Thanks again. --Bhadani 06:37, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Bidar
I am not an admin, but I moved the information from Bidar to Bidar District; sections of text can be moved by cutting and pasting. The new additions still need to be copyedited. Tom Radulovich 16:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Minor edits
Hi, just a little heads up, the minor edit checkbox (in the article namespace) is only to be used for really trivial stuff like formatting and spelling corrections. Thanks Arvindn 17:15, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, what part of "really trivial stuff like formatting and spelling corrections" did you not understand? Arvindn 10:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Yes thanks for pointing out the mistake in Arrah. I had done a minor edit there, at that time I did no see completely, and hence the word had continued there, which was left by some earlier editor. Anyway, it is now fine, and happy X'mas and New Year. --Bhadani 15:44, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Palanquin
[moved from your userpage] Hi, I don't know if you saw my reply - I usually reply on my own talk page, because it retains the flow of the conversation. Anyway:
 * That was my whole point - the Puranas are not "Vedic texts". I'm not even sure what is a "Vedic text" and what is not has a proper definition, but the Puranas were written 1500-2500 years after the Vedas, so there's no way they qualify. If you want to say there are references to palanquins in the Puranas, sure go ahead. Arvindn 16:40, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. --Bhadani 17:17, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Tonga
Hai Aravind, I have created the article Tonga (Carriage) with a basic introduction. Please expand that and check whether it should be merged with any other horse carriages in the Carriages page. Regards. --Raghu 11:17, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Dhanraj Pillai
Aravindji, isn't that a copyrighted picture. It appears at sify.com Tintin 15:37, 26 December 2005 (UTC)


 * From a google search, it appears on sify, rediff, bharatiyahockey and the-week, but there is nothing to indicate that it is in the public domain. That it is in multiple sites could be because it is owned by a press/photo agency (like PTI or Getty Images) and was bought by these sites for their use. Regards and happy new year. Tintin 15:49, 26 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Aravindji, what is there to apologize ? I am not sure about the answer to your question. For people who died certain number of years ago (70 years in India's case, I think), their images are automatically in the public domain. But not sure whether this will cover recent paintings. Nichalp is a better person to answer it and I'll redirect the question to him. Regards, Tintin 16:11, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Nath
Hi,

See, Hinduism is already a very long article, and no one will entertain adding more lines about any of its particular sects. But if you mean to say another article on this sect, you are welcome. As for me, I know nothing about this sect. Regards, Cygnus_hansa 16:59, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Copyrights
Hi! Regarding the copyright status of the Sankaracharya images:


 * 1) Yes, all images are copyrighted by default. Even if an image does not have an explicit copyright notice, by Indian government laws (and so with other countries), the image is by default copyrighted.
 * 2) In simple terms: the meaning of "Copyright " here is that nobody can claim your image as his own.
 * 3) For an image to be used in wikipedia, the photographer or artist has to be aware that his or her works may be used for commercial purposes and/or it can be used to make derivative works.
 * 4) *This does not mean that the image loses its copyright status. The image can still be copyrighted.
 * 5) Indian government law states that if one has to release a copyright free image (ie. a Public-Domain), then he or she has to register with the Registrar.
 * 6) Though the Shankacharya images are freely available, it does not mean that is is free from copyright. The cp-holder must explicitly say so.
 * No, generic art is copyrighted.
 * 1) You'd have to email the owner to ascertain/request for the copyright status. See Boilerplate request for permission

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
Hi, it doesn't matter if he fits in more categories. For example, Babur could be taken as an Indian king as well as a persian. However, there is a subtle difference between categories such as Tamil people, Telugu people and People of Karnataka. The first two talk more of their language rather than region where as the Karnataka category doesn't talk of language. So, I would fall under people of Karnataka, though I can't manage even a smattering of Kannada. btw, there is nothing in the Radhakrishnan article to suggest that he spent time in Karnataka. Of the people listed in Category:Telugu people, only Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, imo, falls under both categories. On an unrelated note regarding copyrights, any photograph published in Indian media 50 years back or more i considered as Public Domain. Also, Tintin's view about 70 years after death is not correct because of the following reason - Copyright is given to the photographer and not to the subject, so the copyright expires only 70 years after the photographer's death, which is very difficult to determine. --Gurubrahma 10:40, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it is 60 years after first publication. --Gurubrahma 11:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Kirloskar
You seem to be right. From, it is clear that the founder's name is Laxmanrao Kashinath Kirloskar (LKK). The article Shantanu Kirloskar talks about LKK only as can be seen from the achievements and the birth-death dates. I had not started the articles but just merged duplicates. I will take an appropriate action (most probly moves and re-directs) within a couple of days. Thanks for the heads-up. Keep up the good work. --Gurubrahma 17:29, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Nath +
Hi Aravind, I dunno about Nath, so I cannot comment. However, WP:V needs to be adhered to - you can refer to books, magazines, newspapers etc. - need not be online sources. I think the Kirloskar issue has been resolved with my creation of Laxmanrao Kirloskar and movement of Shantanu Laxmanrao Kirloskar to S. L. Kirloskar to reduce confusion. btw, each day your user page greets me differently ;) --Gurubrahma 18:16, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Award
I have placed the exceptional new comer award on your user page - I think that you shall not mind my action of "disturbing" your user page. Please feel free to reposition the award as you feel proper. Congratualtions and Cheers! --Bhadani 18:25, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Aravind, The list of 'contributions' on your userpage is impressive -- I'm wondering whether these articles: Do let me know. ImpuMozhi 20:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) were initiated by you
 * 2) received extensive contributions from you
 * 3) is a listing of pages you ever amended?


 * That is a good idea. Btw, have you taken a look at Kannada WP yet? Regards, ImpuMozhi 08:53, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Images
Hello Aravind. The images of Indian War Heros on your userpage were downloaded from Bharat-Rakshak.com. I don't think that site is run by the Indian government. In that case those images are not in Public Domain and their usage on Wikipedia might be a copyright violation. Please check and make appropiate changes. Otherwise I would be left with no other option but to tag those images as Possible Copyright Violation. --Deepak|वार्ता 19:45, 29 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah.. Indian Army's official website releases its content in the Public Domian. However, usage of material from Bharatrakshak.com is a copyright violation. Wishing you a very happy new year --Deepak|वार्ता 14:53, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Dharsana Satyagraha
Referred the said matter to user Rama's Arrow since I have no reference on this. Sorry could not help you from this place of NZ.

--Dore chakravarty 21:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Good thing that you wrote about this. There is a spectacular sequence in the movie Gandhi about this which is *really* worth watching. Tintin Talk 13:33, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I knew only about the last two attempts. Btw, these two need to be expanded a lot. Freedom at Midnight has a very detailed account - some three or four chapters - on it. They based it on interviews with Vishnu Karkare, Pahwa and others who survived. Tintin Talk 13:52, 1 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Aravind - The Dharasana saltworks raid bit should mainly be incorporated into the Salt Satyagraha article, unless you have a huge amount of info to offer on the topic. May God bless you and your family in this new year.

Good work on adding images to Ajay Ahuja and Vikram Batra.

Image Tagging Image:Aihole 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Aihole 1.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 can claim fair use use or fairuse. See 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. Nooby god 00:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:British_India_hundi.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:British_India_hundi.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 on Wikipedia 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 Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. --OrphanBot 06:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
