Need help for British Raj article
It seems like a small group of people have taken over the British Raj article. The article is now painting British Raj in a positive light while hiding all the atrocities that british committed. See discussion at. Your help and help of others (who you know have an interest in this topic) is solicited and appreciated. Desione (talk) 16:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

VT image
Nikkul, The Image:Vict.jpg was good find! I saw that flickr had a higher resolution available and therefore replaced your upload with the higher resolution version and corrected the license version (cc-by-2.0 rather than cc-by-2.5). Cheers. Abecedare 02:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


 * To see all the versions, look just above the top-left corner of the image on flickr for "All sizes". Then you can see all the available sizes, and if the license is compatible (and the image has encyclopedic value) you can upload it on wikipedia. By the way, make sure to update the license version while/after uploading - you can do so by simply editing the license section and hand editing the license template to, say,,  etc. That will ensure that no one deletes these images from wikipedia due to incorrect licensing information. Hope that helps! Abecedare 02:53, 12 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I updated the Image:Vidhana Soudha.jpg image that you had uploaded to a higher resolution version and correct license. If/when you have the time, perhaps you can go over your flickr uploads and re-upload the highest resolution versions. Cheers. Abecedare 02:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for uploading Image:Bangalore.jpg. When uploading CC-attrib or CC-SA-Attrib images, it is important to indicate the exact source (url) and author's name. I would appreciate it if you clarify the source and author of the image since the image is still liable to be deleted without this information. Thanks AreJay 15:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Nice find for the BSE image. Hope we can get one that also contains the "rotunda" though ... By the way, Image:Bulltemple.jpg is copyrighted and will have to be deleted from wikipedia soon. Perhaps the photographer can be requested to release it under the CC/CC-BY license and then it can be reuploaded. Cheers. Abecedare 01:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

A note about your pics
Hey Nikkul, nice pics you've started adding there. But I must say that pics like the Yamuna and the Mumbai bandstand one may not make the grade. They're nice pics and can make nice posters or wallpapers.. but I dont think they have enough 'distinguishing features' in them to make them encyclpedic/worthy of the India page. What I mean is.. unlike the Kerala backwaters pic, which is a signature postcard of Kerala, the Yamuna pic especially has nothing in it to convey that it is the Yamuna.. it could be a pic of a sunset by any river. Right? Anyway, these are my first thoughts. I suggest that you go a little slow with adding pics to that page till more people weigh in. That page is only meant to be a sort of a test page. Sarvagnya 02:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Mumbai port and airport data
I am not sure if the data applied only to Mumbai's air traffic, or to both sea and air traffic.

Anyways, the first link applies to Mumbai's premier position as a sea port. In the next line, we speak of Mumbai handling half of India's sea (in context) and air (out of context) traffic. I think we need to introduce Mumbai's sea port (already done in the first line) and airport before mentioning the quantum of traffic being handled.

Question
I was just perusing around, and I stumbled upon your userpage. I saw the prices (in lakhs) of the cars and house bottom of the page, and I thought that it couldn't be right. What exactly are you basing your figures off of? For example, I have a Honda Civic, and I know for a fact that it did not cost 10 lakhs ($25,000 at current rate), even if you count all the other extraneous charges, in addition to the MSRP of the car. Cheers, Nishkid64 (talk) 03:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah okay, thanks for the explanation. My parents have a Civic in my hometown in New Jersey. I'm a freshman in college, so you can guess what my age is. Is that how old you are also? Nishkid64 (talk) 05:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Delhi
I think you are a bit confused between demographics and culture. Demographics is about the linguistic, ethnic and religious characteristics of the populace. Culture is about.. festivals, popular locations, art, cuisine etc. So, keeping that in mind, an image on Connaught Place has got nothing to do with demographics. Besides, we already have an image on the same fountains in the economy section. I hope this helps. Cheers --74.140.120.11 (talk) 05:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I am updating the India page with a new image of the Arjun MBT. I don't want you to change it as you did with other images. This one is a real good one of the Arjun MBT. Thank you. Chanakyathegreat (talk) 10:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

So what? You want image of an Arjun at an exhibition decorated with flower pots. It's not possible with tanks. Tanks are meant to get dirty in the mud and when they move it's obvious that dust will rise. I don't think the image is unsuitable for viewing. Such an image is much more realistic. The Sukhoi image is there for a long time and the Arjun image is required.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 02:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

New Delhi map
You have deleted the New Delhi map three times now. This is a map that provides exactly the information I was interested in when I visited the New Delhi page in the first place: namely, how New Delhi is situated with respect to Delhi. The first time, you deleted it without any comment, so I put it back. The second time, you said it had nothing to do with History, so I put it in the Geography section. The third time, you have just said it's "not needed" and I don't know how to respond to that. So please tell me, how would you like to convey the relation between Delhi and New Delhi to curious readers? --Doradus (talk) 03:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The one in the infobox does not show New Delhi's relation to Delhi. It shows New Delhi's location in India.  If that's your only objection, I'll go ahead and re-add the other map.  --Doradus (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, u might remeber our earlier conversations where I told u that your pic. should be used on the Bangalore page. If u go to Flickr and search UB Towers 2. u made a comment to use the image on Wikipedia he has agreed to let it be used. I sent him a Flickr mail to ask the same thing.He has given both of us permission to use it on wikipedia. If u want to upload it u can.

On the delhi page i changed the image of a fountain in cannought place and replaced it with a picture of highrise buildings. The fountain image doesnt really show cannought place and the buildings behind. I would like if u let me change the image.

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! There is, however, another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please consider creating an account and uploading your media there instead. That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Moving images to the Commons (you may view images you have previously uploaded by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box).

Navigational Popups and twinkle
Hey pajero (bro). You need to check these out. I have noticed over the years that you have been involved in edit wars, vandalism reverts and so on. Let me give you some advise on how to revert more efficiently. You should try to follow the instructions and tick the boxes ticked green in the image below (in my preferences in your user settings). With the click of a button you can automatically revert somebody else's contribs (using popups) and with twink add vandal warnings and other kinds of warnings with one simple click. This feature also leaves an automatic edit summary like this = (Reverted edits by Rnkroy (talk) to last version by AlleborgoBot) Give this a go and let us no what you think.

Images in Mysore page
Please refrain from replacing images in the page with ugly and non-descriptive ones. An image of a room in Lalitha Mahal is hardly representative of the art and culture of Mysore. BTW, I can bet that the image that you say is of Karanji Lake, is not of Karanji Lake. And we do not require another image of Mysore Palace in the Tourism section when we already have an image of the palace in the lead-in. The images that existed have been placed after a lot of thought. Please do not undo that effort by replacing those images haphazardly. Thanks -- ¿Amar៛ Talk to me / My edits 12:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Chennai Climate Chart
I noticed that you removed the climate chart. You mentioned that it is unnecessary and bleeds into next section. I agree with you in the second part. However, I personally think, a visual chart of climate through the year gives a great idea about the city's weather. Dock Hi 19:37, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, You may have your own reason to remove the climate chart again. I am sorry but I am not convinced that it is not there in other cities is an acceptable reason. It also does also not bleed into the next section in my computer(if you are talking about the temperature and precipitation bleed, that could be probably rectified). Docku Hi 17:21, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * As far as I understand, the presence of climate chart in the article does not violate any wikipedia policy. Besides, the chart seems to have been added by User:Planemad on 25 May 2008. You are the one who unilaterally decided to remove it. This is the third time you are removing it. I have tried to discuss with you all the three times and you are simply reverting it without even participating in a discussion. So the point is, you are the who needs to get consensus to a remove perfectly referenced and relevant information which was added by someone else. Docku Hi 18:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Urbanised state
Hi Nikkul, you have unilaterally modified urbanisation information in Maharashtra article. There was a discussion about the addition of this information in the article talk page. The information is referenced and therefore removal or modification of such an information requires community consensus. Docku Hi 22:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Again, here is the reference you provided for Maharashtra being the most urbanised state. It was a report prepared between 1996 to 1999. The reason I changed it being one of the most urbanised states is because of this 2008 information which claims TN is the most urbanised state. Besides, none of the references cited claim MH is the most developed. Looking at these references, I hope you will revert the information back to its recently updated form because I have no intention of involving in an edit war with you. Docku Hi 12:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I have modified the information. Docku Hi 17:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

developed state
Hi Nikkul, I agree with you that urbanised and developed are two different things. You made this edit. There are four references in that sentence. Could you please help me point to which reference supports your claim "developed state". I notice that you havent tried to engage in discussing your edits with me in talk pages before. If you fail to respond to this query, I may have to modify your edit. Thanks. Docku Hi 13:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The Humayun's Tomb image you added was not a high quality one and didn't show much of the monument either. Plus, you removed the previous image w/o providing an explanation. Secondly, we already have an image on India Gate in the Climate section and therefore adding two images on the same monument especially when there is no image on several other monuments seems illogical. Thirdly, we also have two other images on British Raj era buildings, the South Block and Rashtrapati Bhawan. I would like to point out that removing image on Red Fort from history section, a World Heritage Site and perhaps the most significant monument in Delhi, was uncalled for. You cannot have a section on the history of Delhi without emphasizing the Red Fort which continues to play a major role in Delhi's politics (site of Independence Day speech) till today. I hope you will more actively take part in discussion because edit warring won't help us reach a consensus. And please show respect towards edits made by other fellow Wikipedians and don't just blatantly remove material from lead-in paras, especially those which are backed by references. --128.211.201.161 (talk) 22:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply. Though you explained the low-resolution part, fact remains the image is unclear because ~30% of the image is obstructed by the tomb's entrance. My point here is that there are much better images there so you might want to consider revising your version. Secondly, an image on Safdarjung's Tomb would be appropriate compared to one on Lodhi Gardens. Thirdly, the present montage only has buildings. How about having an image on Delhi metro? --128.211.201.161 (talk) 07:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Please do not images on buildings which lie outside New Delhi to the article. Even though Akshardham website says the temple lies in New Delhi, it does not. The temple lies east of the Yamuna river in Shahdara, East Delhi. And to avoid this very confusion, which even the builders of Akshardham and Google Maps have, I was in favor of having a specific note that New Delhi is different from Delhi. Any addition of images on structures which lie outside New Delhi will be reverted. And if you carry on with such disruptive behavior, I'll have to report you.

Nikkul, can you check the page and do the needful. It has been in a very bad shape with a lot of errors, especially with the trial parts. I plan you to start with the Summer 2006 section. The 2005 trial section seem to be correct, there were problem with the 2005 trial even though not the way it is there, it can be looked later. The change over happened from Summer 2006. I had asked the Admins to comment in the talk page Summer 2006 section after posting a good reasoning. No one has even bothered put a comment there, forget about correction. There the correct view and info are sidelined because the Admins say, the number is not on my side.

 * If No then who told you that Nehru c.jpg image is of Nehru Science center? -- Suyog  talk to me!  06:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thats not Nehru Planetarium That is Nehru Center it has no signifance under education section. Please specify me why you want a Art gallery, Exhibation center's pic under Education Section-- Suyog  talk to me!  09:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Supersection
Hi Nikkul,

No probs. However, given the haphazard nature of the discussions, and the way minor intricacies were being debated on, I added the section... The non-image discussions are going down the drain because of this.

If its ok with you, I'll re-insert the supersection, putting the previous discussions in a small text, or as an autocollapse text. Think of it as a summary type - it'll make the discussion clearer to follow, trust me. Cheers.  Sniperz 11 @CS 07:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hehe... I couldn't understand what you meant... can you clarify plz. Thanks.  Sniperz 11 @CS 07:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Seems good... can you add numbers to the subsections.. its kinda confusing otherwise.  Sniperz 11 @CS 07:37, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Removal of galleries on Air India
During last week few attempts had been made to remove Gallery of Tata Airlines timetable covers, reason given behind this was galleries are not encyclopedic and ''Galleries are for wikicommons. They are not encyclopedic''.

Notabley there is one more gallery present on the article i.e. Gallery of superseded liveries which was never altered.

If there is any logic and rationale (I couldn't find any in Gallery template page, help page, etc.) behind removal of the said gallery both galleries should be removed. On the contrary featured article like Flag of Belarus, Flag of Canada, Postage stamps of Ireland, etc contain Gallery (which means Galleries are accepted even in Featured Articles not to say about unfeatured ones).

Please, discuss this issue here on talk page before removal of any Gallery.

--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider Rizvi (talk) 06:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've been editing wikipedia for two & a half years so I'm not that new. You are right that all FA do not have galleries(although few have) but that does not mean that articles can't have galleries. There is no Wiki policy/guideline prohibiting gallery on an article. Tata Airlines is pre-cursor of Air India and these Covers depict change in presentation & marketing; if you can describe this in words you are free to remove gallery. This gallery has been on this article for around Four months & no one seems to have problem with it only you have. As this gallery has been there for four months(during which there were several edits & revamp og this article) its better that you get consensus for removing it. --Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider Rizvi (talk) 08:53, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Delhi - Sister cities
Nikkul, if you want to say that twin/sister/partner city sections are a widespread mess, I'll totally agree with you. Many of the entries seem to be wishful thinking or a particularly subtle form of vandalism, or maybe just vague incomprehension.

However, for you to say that Sister Cities International is the only arbiter of truth on the matter is just wrong. You can find my thoughts on this on the Delhi talk page. Sorry if I come across a little strong but I've been trying to figure out a way to fix this problem for awhile now - and part of the problem is the blanket source to SCI, heck, we don't even know how often they update their site! And it's totally US-centric.

Check perhaps at Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary for how we do partner cities: detailed sources to prove that the twinning arrangements all exist.

That said, if you want to get involved in cleaning up the huge mess in all the other articles, I'd be happy to help out! Franamax (talk) 02:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Can you put some new images on the Kingfisher Airlines Article
Hi! can you put some new images on the Kingfisher Airlines article? actually the images posted over there are pretty old (The A320 pic is i think so there since 2007 and the A330-200 and ATR 72-500 pics are also more than a year old). Thanks. (Druid.raul (talk) 06:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC))

Romoval of Tankman pic as per Wiki fair use policy
According to Fair use, unacceptable usage of fair use image, article 5: An image to illustrate an article passage about the image, if the image has its own article (in which case the image may be described and a link provided to the article about the image). Tankman photo file:Tank Man (Tiananmen Square protester).jpg is only allowed to be used in the article which its content can be entirely described by the image, hence only Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and Tankman meet this policy. If you feel to use an image in other articles which are partially related to the photo, you should choose a file that doesn't require fair use statement, ie the copyleft image. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 03:46, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Math errors in article persisted for over a year
You added a great table to English language over a year ago. It's still there because it's a very good visual representation of the data. However, you made some pretty serious arithmetic errors (that had also persisted until now) which make it seem that the US and Canada have much lower English literacy than they actually do. Please be careful when adding new data that it is accurate. My changes were computed directly from the links you posted (one of which was mislabeled). Sligocki (talk) 22:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, it appears that you copied the text from somewhere else. Sorry to sound accusatory. But please be careful even when copying data. You could have followed the links set and noticed many of these errors. It seems obvious to me that more than 83% of Americans speak English. Sligocki (talk) 08:14, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Image tagging for File:Mumbai Montage.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mumbai Montage.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Delhi montage
While I understand that you will favor your montage since you created it, we cannot afford to compromise the quality of articles so as to satisfy one's ego. There are several issues with your montage:


 * 1) The images are disproportional.
 * 2) Focuses entirely on historic structures with no image on transport and other infrastructure.

I hope that you will discuss your edits before making any more reverts.

And please, stop writing edit summaries with caps because not only is it rude, is also shows how kiddish you are. --Nosedown (talk) 09:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * And what do you mean by "better pics"? The Lotus Temple image has too much contrast, the Humanyun's Tomb image is not clear and the India Gate image is taken from a pathetic angle. Seriously, I doubt your intention here. --Nosedown (talk) 09:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I've started a new discussion on Talk:Delhi. You must address all issues within 24 hours. --Nosedown (talk) 16:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Three days ago, you added a montage on Mumbai page without discussing. So, stop being a hypocrite. --Nosedown (talk) 16:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright. I apologize for my argumentative tone. However, I am still not able to get the logic behind your opposition. Neither have you raised any valid points against the newer montage, nor have you addressed the points against the montage made by you. --Nosedown (talk) 19:32, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Nikkul,

I very much liked your Montage of Delhi. I tried to do a similar montage of "Gates of Delhi" for my artcile from existing photos in Wikicommons to be posted soon. But I could not decipher the correct method. Wikicommons help page did not provde me with useful hints. Will you plase give me tutorial on how to fix four or more pictures on a montage and then use it in the Infobox? In case I fail to do it after your tutorial, then I will seek your help to make a montage.Thanks.--Nvvchar (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you please discuss edit edits on the talk page since you removed cited information and added factual errors to the article ? I have reverted your edit since it added POV and factual errors to the article, but let me know if you would like me to initiate the discussion instead. Abecedare (talk) 11:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice find! Abecedare (talk) 12:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The Europa prototype has been shown at some auto shows but hasn't yet passed the European regulatory tests and is not available for sale. It is larger than the basic Nano and >2X more expensive. So its image is not particularly relevant to the India page (I realize that you didn't add it with any intent to misrepresent). The Nano image on the other hand is a good choice, since it reflects both the manufacturing capabilities, and the large "middle-class" market in India and is more informative than a generic image of some building or person. I may play around with image caption a bit to make the significance clearer, when I have the time to look up sources. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 14:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mumbai Montage.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Mumbai Montage.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 06:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 06:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Uniworld City New Town Kolkata.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Uniworld City New Town Kolkata.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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.

Replaceable fair use File:India Mumbai Airport.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:India Mumbai Airport.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 12:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I did not term it as pure vandalism. I termed it as a possible vandalism and reverted it. Why are you chnging some sentence in the article? And why remove the image of the airport? In a featured article as this, as long as an image conveys sufficient info, it can be added. There is no need for any concensus from other editors. Concensus is required only when someone wants to change some material in the article. Please conform to that. Thanks, have a nice day. Abhishek191288 (talk) 04:06, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Flickr
Hi, per your userpage I realised your working to get Flickr users to agree to change their license to CC-BY, CC-BY-SA or PD as well. I have been doing so myself for the last month or so. We had the first Wikipedia Takes Mumbai Photowalk in January. The response was not the best and thereafter I thought of Flickr as an option and started contacting uploaders with comments and personal messages requesting a change in license.

The results have been phenomenal - Iv managed to get wonderful pics of Ganesh Visarjan (Mumbai), an ATP Tennis tournament (in Mumbai c.2006), an IPL game in Mumbai (c.2010), a Pawan Hans chopper and a former Air Sahara aircraft, aerial views of Malabar Hill and Juhu Airport (as well as one of Delhi Airport) and lots of others from Flickr by requesting change of license (my strike rate is about 4 out of 10 thus far). Some of them even asked for links as to where their pics have been used! I brought this up in the India and Mumbai mailing lists as well, offering it as an option to photowalks (people from some other cities have done well with photowalks so they seem to prefer that).

I brought it up at the Mumbai Meetup earlier this week as well, where people liked the idea (especially as we are not going to fly over Mumbai for aerial shots or go in boats for Ganesh Visarjan shots forget getting events from the past!). Since you are already familiar with this, Im going to request you to help out. Here is a list of requested photographs for Mumbai articles, would appreciate your help trying to convince uploaders of available photographs on Flickr to change their licenses to allow use on Wikipedia.

 * Im not stuck on a particular image. Id like to keep the concept that I proposed - a pic of 19th century bombay (like Rudyard Kiplings 1865 Malabar Hill) in contrast with a recent one of the same place. If you could suggest a similar contrast with better pics (even if its of a different part of Bombay) I dont mind. What are your thoughts? Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 06:23, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

BSE image File:India economy.jpg
Please do not add the BSE Image back to the Mumbai page as it violates. Further, on the talk page, of 5 users (including both of us), 4 support removal of the image in question (and replacement - though there is no consensus on a replacement hence no replacement has been added yet). Around The Globe सत्यमेव जयते 08:42, 5 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Only you voted not to change the image, the rest in their comments all agree the current image will not do - though there is no consensus for the replacement, hence that has not been added. However there is no way the current image can be kept as it violates Wikipedia guidelines as above. Please DO NOT add the image back.


 * 1. "Current image shows the main part of the building. The proposed image is lopsided" - You


 * 2. "Agree about the watermark so support a change. But the replacement suggested is not a good picture" - Regents Park


 * 3. "the replacement image also makes it look like a working building while the current image looks like a non-descript building" - Prad2609


 * 4. "Cause of the watermark the change is necessary" - me


 * 5. "I dont like the current and proposed images ... I would suggest File:BSE.jpg which is also used in the India article" - Jovian Eye


 * From the above five I hope you can see except you everyone supports a change, what the change is there is no consensus yet. Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 06:21, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand where your coming from however the image fails wiki guidlines and hence cannot be placed on the Mumbai page - as it has GA status, it is necessary that all images adhere to guidelines. As I have mentioned several times, I have not added another image as there is no consensus on wch image should replace it, once there is a consensus we can put it on, until then its best we do not have any image. Further, may I ask why you have copy-pasted the warning that Abhishek191288 has given YOU below onto my talk page? Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 06:29, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand and appreciate you may be helping get a lot of images onto Wikipedia however this particular image fails the guideline that images MUST NOT HAVE ANY WATERMARKS (refer to the link I posted in my above note to you on 5 April at 08.42).

April 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Mumbai. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. In particular, the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. &mdash; Abhishek Talk to me 03:51, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * Don't think you are very smart by adding this warning with my signature. You are making a fool out of yourself. &mdash; Abhishek Talk to me 06:40, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Air India destinations
Hey you smart ass. Your knowledge on airlines is very poor. That is why I'm here to tell you that you are a fool to merge Air India Express and Air India Regional destinations into Air India destinations article. Air India limited is only the holding company which operated Air India as the parent airline with Air India Express and Air india Regional as subsidiaries of Air India. Your merge just shows how small your fuckin brain is. :P 122.167.215.192 (talk) 04:53, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Weigh in?
Would you like to weigh in at the discussion in Talk:India on some 40 odd images? I know that's a lot, but a simple Yes/No would be adequate. Of course, if you choose to comment at more length, it would be even better. The India page is now the second most-viewed country page (after the US) and the 15th page overall, so having a set of high quality representative pictures becomes even more imperative.

Question
Since you are an expert on images, I would like to ask a question about images. Please send me one or if you can enable your e-mail, I will get in touch with you. Don't bother if you do not want to use e-mail with Wikipedia. Zuggernaut (talk) 02:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Nikkul - the problem I had with a image has been solved for now and hopefully it won't arise again. I am under a topic ban and also an interaction ban with Fowler&fowler so I cannot speak to the details but let me just say that I understand your sentiment on recent image issues.

Wikimedia Stories Project
Hello,

My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.

I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video).

My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.

I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!

If you are interested in participating, please contact me via my email:

vgrigas@wikimedia.org

Thank you for your time!

Victor

About me: I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2005, and have a background in film, video and audio. My userpage can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Victorgrigas

Your nonsense
Nikkul, I've put up with your nonsense long enough. If you continue to be disruptive on Talk:India, I will have no option but to ask for a topic ban for you on India related topics. Let this be a warning. Fowler&amp;fowler «Talk»  01:49, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Repeating is not useful
Hi Nikkul, please understand that once you have made your point, it is enough. Repeating it ad nauseam will not bring more converts. On the contrary, the weightage your words carry reduces as people lose respect for someone who does so.AshLin (talk) 02:58, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Nehru.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Nehru.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.
