You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi
Hi! Thanks for Kakori train action. While starting Revolutionary movement for Indian independence or upgrading Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, or, during editing other related articles like Jugantar or Anushilan Samiti, I always thought to create this one, but never ended up creating the article. Thanks a lot. If you have time, please try to make red linked freedom fighters (dispersed in so many articles) blue. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:00, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Mdh.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Mdh.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as or , you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ResurgamII 16:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Re
Thanks for commenting on this. I will review the case of Narayan and the others you mentioned. Rabindranath Tagore has written poetry saturated with Vedic imagery and Vaishnavite devotion, and translated Kabir. I included Amrita Pritam because I haven't yet found many modern Sikh writers - maybe she can be replaced with better examples. Vivekanda and Dayananda are missing because the template says "1900 to present". I had to restrict the time frame - otherwise the list of authors for the template would tend to be too big. Maybe we could say "1875 to present" instead? Tilak is somewhere between the 19th and 20th century, and could be included, as also some of the others you mention, and you can include them if you like. The template is young, it will mature with time. --Bondego 21:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Dariyal, please correct the article Bramhastra. I thought of cleaning it up. But it was so grossly badly written that I didnt feel like doing something minor. I think you should have a go at it. Aur Kya chal raha hai? --Dr.saptarshi 03:19, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Depth value for Hindi Wikipedia
Yes, the reason is quite obvious ... in Bangla Wikipedia, we have shifted our focus from increasing article count to increasing article quality. Unforunately, most of the other south asian wikipedias do the opposite ... I did a quick check at Nepal Bhasha, Telegu, Hindi, Marathi, Bishnupriya Manipuri, and most of the articles there seemed to be written by bots and had only a single sentence, or even worse ... only a table generated by the Bot.

While we did have about 3000-4000 bot generated articles on Indian cities, we have stopped doing that. We now focus on content, and only write articles if we have enough content to fill a screen. I guess that's why the "Depth" parameter has such a high value for Bangla Wikipedia.

I suggest that you focus on content generation rather than increasing article count, and disallow creation of one-liners, table-only stubs by bots. That ought to increase your article quality gradually.

Bottom line ... just leave the rat race for article count,. Thanks. --Ragib (talk) 22:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, users should be allowed to create short articles in their topic ... but not extremely short stubs. For a random sampling, I checked out Hindi Wikipedia, and hit ctrl-x for 10 random articles. The majority (8) of them were either empty shells (with an brief infobox), one-liners (looked like "X is YZ"), or bot generated article whose total info content can be summarized in 1 short sentence. Asking the users to at least provide 3 to 4 sentences will go a long way towards making content richer. There would always be many users trying to create the bot-generated empty shells ... but at the end of the day, those serve no purpose other than giving a false sense of pride (in terms of number of entries). You might notice that in Bangla Wikipedia, we rapidly crossed 10,000 in 2006, but then stopped increasing article count. At one time, Bangla was one of the two South Asian wikipedias in 10K+ list. But we chose to focus on quality, have more and more featured level content. Just check the recent changes in bn you'll see that most new additions are at least one paragraph long.


 * Anyway, hope at least some users in Hi will look back into this and change their strategies. :) Cheers! --Ragib (talk) 23:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Employee State Insurance Corporation Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Employee State Insurance Corporation Logo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license 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) 16:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Rsj cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Rsj cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)
Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:


 * Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasit &#124; c 17:23, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Haryana Tourism Corporation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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".
