Orphaned non-free media (File:HortNet.png)
Thanks for uploading File:HortNet.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 20:11, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

 * "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
 * Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * Primary sources are usually avoided to prevent original research. Secondary or tertiary sources are preferred for this reason as well.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.  In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

Basically, material should only be added if it is a summary of a professionally published, mainstream academic or journalistic work (which must be cited with the summary), with no commentary or interpretation. While your edit linked to sources, you did not actually cite them for anything and there was also a lot of unsourced commentary. Ian.thomson (talk) 07:29, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

July 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Cinema of India, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:39, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dinkoism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alien. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:JK Nair/esSENSE Global


A tag has been placed on User:JK Nair/esSENSE Global, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JK Nair. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:19, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

First a word about your repeated copyright violations of book covers
 * You licensed the images as "Own work". I don't believe that the covers are your own work, or that you own their copyright.
 * Confusingly you also said the authors allowed you to use their books. I don't believe that either, but in any case, they would need to donate the rights to their work to Wikipedia, not you
 * I doubt that authors own the copyright of the book artwork either, more likely to be the publisher
 * You said the images were too low-res for commercial use. That is completely irrelevant, if they are recognisable copies, they are copyright

Why did you ask my advice on my talk page and then just carry on posting promo?

You say that you have no conflict of interest, and I'll assume good faith for now, but considering the clear untruths you claimed for the book images, I'm not totally convinced.

Also read the following regarding writing an article: The version in question was the one I deleted yesterday.


 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * Most of your text was unsourced, the rest was sourced to inappropriate sources like the organisation itself, or the Times of India article, quoting an organiser. We need independent third-party sources. Your refs were bare urls


 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


 * Reading your text, the organisation appears to have no headquarters, staff, income, expenditure or membership. Even if all that you wrote could be verified, there is nothing to indicate how it meets the notability criteria above.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * You text was a a bit of unsourced background and history lots of aims and missions, and few real facts about the organisation apart from an interminable and pointless list of events


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

The U5 is because you used a user subpage for your draft, instead of a draft article page.

Note also that social media and YouTube are not acceptable external links.

You mentioned, without links, other articles. The fact that other articles have not been deleted doesn't help you, either they met the criteria or should be deleted as well. See What about article x?. Also note that many articles would have been accepted before the notability guidelines were made stricter.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources.

 * First of all, my sincere gratitude to you for actually explaining the details, policies, and the problems with my submission and declarations. No Wikipedia moderators/admins have ever responded to my questions in the past. Maybe they didn't have to. But you changed that experience of mine, and I thank you for that.
 * I consider this whole experience as learning from mistakes. I am learning something everyday. In the past few days, I have learnt more Wikipedia “things” than I ever had before.
 * I understand that I repeatedly violated the copyright on the book covers. I completely agree with your statement on that. That was the result of following discussions in online fora about image uploads to Wikipedia. Especially the part about "low resolution images being of no commercial value." I followed incorrect guidelines which stated that an altered image file (highly compressed/pixellated images) can be uploaded as own "work," meaning, that you “created” that file. In fact, that particular statement was by someone who claimed to be a Wikipedia admin.
 * I have read Wikipedia pages about these polices also, but they would get quite overwhelming at times. Many pages, many links, new terminology, etc. But in reality, that's the nature of the subject.
 * I agree that those cover page designs are not at all my creations. However, a representative from the publisher (D C Books) was contacted, and was in agreement with the usage of the images. Now, I understand that that was far from being a formal permission - which brings me to this question: I read that the "publisher must donate the image(s) to Wikipedia." How do they do that? Should they upload it themselves, directly, using their own Wikipedia account? What do they have to do, so that it can be verified officially? If they can be educated, they may be willing to. If there's a page that they can read, I can send them a link. Thanks for any help on that.
 * Incidentally, I did reach out to the author (a single individual - the author of the book, but not the creator of the cover page), and did get his "permission." But it wasn't clear as to who (if any) owned a copyright to the cover itself.
 * About asking your advice and then just posting a submission for review...
 * I was just trying to be "proactive" (based on my own wrong interpretation of "proactive") by submitting a version of the article that I believed I had cleaned up enough. I should have waited. Another bad judgement. Lesson learnt.
 * About COI, again, based on my understanding, I am sure I don't see any. I have no relationship with the organization. I don’t receive funds or favors for my time. I did do some reading on their website (my mistake, again) and some local media to get some details about the organization. And I reached out to a representative to request some details about some past activities (quantitative; not qualitative). The intent was/is never to promote them. It was just to make the article more detailed. And I tried to keep the language tone as neutral as I could.
 * Incidentally, the organization does have a registered office, staff (multimedia, operational, administrative, etc.), income, expenditure, and membership. I had listed the names of some of the key office-bearers inside the “infobox” on that page, too.
 * Thanks to your response, I believe that I, now, have a far better idea on matters such as independent third-party verifiable sources, proper sourcing of text, notability guidelines (the five components), citation formats and rules, non-promotional tone, copyrighted text, placement of URLs, etc.
 * Another question (about the list of events that I had included): if an article on this organization is ever created satisfying the policies, is such a list of events considered a proper addition to the article? The whole idea behind that list was to make the article as detailed and informative as possible.
 * Finally, U5: I had no idea about the distinction between creating an article in a "user subpage" vs a "draft article page." I didn't even know that there are these two different methods for doing that. I was just following prompts that lead me to creating a draft article for later submission for approval.
 * I have also read the "what about article x?" page. Completely understood.
 * Once again, thanks for all the support. I hope my response here sheds some light into the background of my article submission attempt.  Wish you happy holidays, and a happy new year. JK Nair (talk) 05:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
