License tagging for File:GeneralisationOfNapoleonPoint.svg
Thanks for uploading File:GeneralisationOfNapoleonPoint.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the licen loope 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 Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

list of triangle topics
Hello.

I've added Napoleon points to the list of triangle topics. If you know of others that should be on that list and are not, could you add those too? Michael Hardy (talk) 17:07, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Harry Clinton Gossard
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Harry Clinton Gossard, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/bstud/gossard.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Some recent edits
Hello.

Concerning this edit, please note that en-dashes rather than hyphens should be used in ranges of pages, years, etc. In mathematical notation, people frequently use too little spacing, writing, for example 2+3 instead of 2 + 3, but here there was too much spacing. For example, in expressions like 2 &minus; 3, one puts a space before and after the minus sign, but when it's a unary rather than binary operation, it is standard to write &minus;5 without a space between the minus sign and the 5. See WP:MOSMATH.

I have added the article to the list of partition topics. If you know of others that should be on the list and are not, could you add those? Michael Hardy (talk) 21:36, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Vararuci and Parayi.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:Vararuci and Parayi.JPG. 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:10, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:BhaskaraSineApproximation.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

 * Another one of your uploads, File:BhaskaraSineApproximation3.jpeg, has also had some information automatically added. If you get a moment, please review the bot's contributions there as well. Thanks! Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 13:18, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2719


The article 2719 has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability not asserted; it says it's the largest known odd number ....

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:10, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm also proposing that, if kept, it be moved to 2719 (number); it's the only number in less than 10 digits which is not tagged as "number".  Please comment on that at Talk:2719.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 11:14, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Copyright question
There may be an issue with an article you started Cyclic decomposition theorem Can you look into it?-- S Philbrick (Talk)  19:04, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I saw your response on the talk page of the article which is now deleted. While it is inevitable that there will be some overlap if two people write about the same theorem, it is statistically impossible that the wording would be identical if created without copying.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  17:13, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Please take a look at my most recent edit to the Ritabrata Munshi article. In particular are you aware of MathGenealogy?

I notice in the ICM list I mentioned above some Indian entries (like Gorakh Prasad) don't have MGP ids. If you have some contacts in their respective Universities I wonder if you will be willing to persuade them to submit the information to the MGP database.

In the case of Gorakh Prasad it would require to contact Allahabad University (I get this info from our Ganesh Prasad article). Solomon7968 16:11, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Maddalam of Palakkad
Hello Krishnachandranvn,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Maddalam of Palakkad for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 02:33, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Maddalam of Palakkad


The article Maddalam of Palakkad has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Does not meet WP:GNG. The only reference merely asserts that this product has been registered with the government of India. This does not necessarily constitute notability, but the article does not even assert that the subject is notable for any other reason.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ubiquity (talk) 18:26, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Maddalam of Palakkad for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Maddalam of Palakkad is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Maddalam of Palakkad until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ubiquity (talk) 12:25, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Re: Your article
Hello, I have posted a reply on the AFD discussion, Please ask at User talk:రహ్మానుద్దీన్ to provide you a few offline sources. He might help. --Tito Dutta (talk) 14:48, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

7 more days to create or expand articles
Hello, thanks a lot for participating in Geographical Indications in India Edit-a-thon. We understand that perhaps 7 days (i.e. 25 January to 31 January) were not sufficient to write on a topic like this, and/or you may need some more time to create/improve articles, so let's extend this event for a few more days. The edit-a-thon will continue till 10 February 2016 and that means you have got 7 more days to create or expand articles (or imprpove the articles you have already created or expanded).

The rules remain unchanged. Please report your created or expanded articles.
 * Rules

Editors, who have not joined this edit-a-thon, may also join now. Reviewing of all articles should be done before the end of this month (i.e. February 2016). We'll keep you informed. You may also check the event page for more details.
 * Joining now
 * Reviewing articles

A special barnstar will be given to all the participants who will create or expand articles during this edit-a-thon. The editors, who will perform exceptionally well, may be given an Indic Geographical Indication product or object. However, please note, nothing other than the barnstar has been finalized or guaranteed. We'll keep you informed.
 * Prizes/Awards

Feel free to ask question(s) here. -- User:Titodutta (talk) sent using MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Questions?

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Krishnachandranvn, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Kuthampally dhoties and set mundu has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

File source problem with File:Madhava sine tabe in Devanagari.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Madhava sine tabe in Devanagari.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 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.

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016
 Wikipedia Asian Month  Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Kerala article
You are obviously well versed in knowledge on the Indian state of Kerala but unfortunately Wikipedia is a neutral site and cannot have propaganda. The article you wrote must be brought to Wikipedia standards, I being an American with a lack of knowledge of Indian history and culture, do not want to edit it in chance that I mess up with the article.

Fix the page

Dear Dogblock (talk), I am no expert in Kerala Planning and I did not contribute anything to the article except that I added a new item to the "See also" section. I am writing this here because you appear to have no user page and talk page. Krishnachandranvn (talk) 14:08, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Fangcheng (mathematics)
You have created recently this article and linked it in Gaussian elimination. Apparently, you did not notice that the "Chapter Eight Rectangular Arrays" was already cited in Gaussian elimination, through a link to Rod calculus, where Fangcheng is also described. It is confusing to have two articles about exactly the same thing. So, please, merge these two descriptions of Fangcheng, and fix accordingly the links to them.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dishant Mayurbhai Pancholi


A tag has been placed on Dishant Mayurbhai Pancholi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/Dishant Mayurbhai Pancholi. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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.

Dishant Mayurbhai Pancholi
You said that the new incarnation of the Dishant Mayurbhai Pancholi article shouldn't be deleted per WP:G4 due to the subject winning the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology. However, this fact was already brought up in Articles for deletion/Dishant Mayurbhai Pancholi, so it can't be used as grounds to unilaterally ignore the result of that AfD. If you think the AfD outcome was wrong, you should first ask User:Tone, and if that doesn't lead to a satisfactory outcome, then WP:DRV. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:40, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ryuko Hira


A tag has been placed on Ryuko Hira requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://business.rediff.com/slide-show/2010/aug/27/slide-show-1-the-richest-indians-in-other-countries.htm. 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. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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. Fram (talk) 15:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

== Kerala Institute for Research, Training and Development Studies of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes moved to draftspace ==

An article you recently created, Kerala Institute for Research, Training and Development Studies of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your additions to Kripa Shankar Shukla have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. –  I s o chrone (T) 15:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for pointing out this deficiency in my article. I wrote the article in good faith and I was thinking that I had suitably paraphrased the original content. O. K. Thank you. Krishnachandranvn (talk) 01:06, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission, as you did at Sathyanarayana Beleri. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. — Diannaa (talk) 15:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

The above response shows that you understand what copyright is and why it's not okay to add copyright material to Wikipedia, but two of 331dot's questions remain unanswered:
 * 1) Tell us what Wikipedia's license is.
 * 2) Tell us under what circumstances it's okay to use copyright content on Wikipedia, and how you would go about doing so.

There's no need to add a new unblock request; just place your answer below. Thanks. — Diannaa (talk) 22:45, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks, .  Awaiting your answer. Best. &#45;-  Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:32, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

A note on Wikipedia license

The text of the Wikipedia articles is copyrighted by the Wikipedia Foundation under the terms and conditions enshrined in the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (the CC-BY-SA license) and, if not specified otherwise, under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). These licenses grant the users of Wikipedia the freedoms comparable to the freedoms granted to users of free software. The fundamental freedoms enjoyed by a free software user can be summarized thus: freedom to run, freedom to copy, freedom to study and modify and freedom to distribute. Thus, the users of Wikipedia have the freedom to copy, modify and distribute the content of the Wikipedia articles. However, there is a further restriction indicated by the phrase "ShareAlike" in the title of the CC-BY-SA License. This stipulates that the granted freedoms can be utilized if and only if the newer versions obtained by applying the freedoms are also made available to others under the same license and the authors of the original Wikipedia articles from which the derived versions are created are also acknowledged. Providing a link to the original Wikipedia article in the derived version is considered as sufficient to satisfy this attribution requirement indicated by "ShareAlike".

The main document relating to international copyright is the Berne Convention. But this document is not a law and there is no "International Copyright Law" which is valid throughout the world. Hence, copyright laws vary from country to country. For example, a document may be out of copyright in the United States, but the same document may be under copyright in some other country. This definitely creates problems for a Wikipedia editor because he/she may not be 100% certain whether the material being copied is out of copyright. The safest, the noblest and the most creative course of action for a Wikipedia editor would be not to copy at all any text from any published material. However, this may not be always practical or desirable especially when the exact words used in the published document cannot be replaced without losing their true intent and spirit. In such circumstances, the expected behavior to put the copied text in quotes and provide the complete reference to the source from where the text has been copied. The copied text should be as short as possible.

I understand that, as a Wikipedia editor, I should not use any material that would infringe the copyright of any other person. I have always respected this dictum and have tried to practice it to the best of my ability, though, occasionally I may have unintentionally faltered in my guard in implementing this dictum. I also understand that the best practice in using material from other sources is to paraphrase the content in the source in my own words and present in the Wikipedia article with a reference indicating the source from which the content was paraphrased.

The page Non-free content describes in meticulous detail Wikipedia's policy regarding the use of non-free content in Wikipedia articles.

I believe I fully understand the details of Wikipedia license. It is my belief that it was neither my lack of understanding of the terms of the license nor lack of respect for the provisions of the license, but the fact that I am not a native speaker of the English language that contributed to my (unintentionally) violating the copyright policies of Wikipedia. I request the functionaries of Wikipedia one last time to remove the block placed against me and help me contribute more and more to Wikipedia the greatest encyclopedia ever created. I assure them once again that I will do my level best to see that my contributions to Wikipedia lie within the parameters set by the various policies and guidelines set by the well-meaning functionaries of Wikipedia.

Thanks once again. Krishnachandranvn (talk) 23:59, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
