User talk:Dhrupadindia

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear : welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Introduction
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How do you edit a page?
 * How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
 * What about copyrights?
 * Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! This looks to be a little late, but I influenced the WP:Wc into creating this new welcome message, and it looks to be a good time to use it!  If you need a hand with something, I usually know where most of the bodies are buried around here. Best regards // Fra nkB 22:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Dhrupadindia,

You have done a great job in improving Pt. Ritwik Sanyal's page. Do you have a link to the Nada recordings, South Korea? Are there any places where his music is accessible by mail? (I am interested not only because it will it help popularizing Pt. Sanyal and add to his page, but also because I have been looking for more Pt. Sanyal's recordings for years. I personally adore his music.)

S Das

Bizzare use
Hi, I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish here, so I'm leaving it alone until I hear from you, but including template doc page viewed directly has absolutely nothing to do with images, and is categorizing that image to, when it is also clearly not documentation for a template! template doc page transcluded might be streched into such an employment, but it would be far simpler to use edit if you wanted an active edit link. That can be coerced into floating far right too, if needed. Best wishes // Fra nkB 22:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source and copyright for Image:Ritwik Sanyal Riyaz.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ritwik Sanyal Riyaz.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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.

The file also doesn't have a copyright tag, so one must 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 meets the criteria at Fair use, 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 have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kotepho 04:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This also goes for many other images you have uploaded. Namely: Image:Ritwik Sanyal.jpg, Image:Ritwik Sanyal in Ravena Festival, Italy 1997.jpg, Image:Harballabh Festival, Punjab.jpg, and Image:Ritwik Sanyal Animation Hollywood.jpg. For the proper procedure of requesting permission see Requesting copyright permission and Example requests for permission. Kotepho 04:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sangeet Natak Akademi.png


A tag has been placed on File:Sangeet Natak Akademi.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

File source problem with File:Early life.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Early life.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file 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. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven 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 refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
