Regarding File:AFMCCadets.jpg - copyright information
Dear Prashanthns, Regarding the copyright status of File:AFMCCadets.jpg, this is to inform that the image is from my personal collection; as a matter of fact, I am present in the picture, I didn't add a copyright status because the photograph was taken by one of my colleagues and I do not recall who it was. There are, therefore, no copyright or ownership issues as far as I believe. Thanks for evaluation

Regards

 * Hi Avadesh,
 * Thanks for clarifying. Please note that files uploaded on Wikipedia must compulsorily have copyright information. I understand that you are in the picture and it was taken by one of your colleagues. That does not mean that the picture does not need copyright information. I think you are mistaking copyright to mean that it was taken by a corporate entity that is preventing the use of the photo. Copyright can also be held by individuals (like your friend who took the photo in this case) and you will need to attribute it to him. If you are the owner of the photo, it is easier. You can choose while uploading the option of own, and choose an appropriate license. If you have a photo owned and created by you, click on own work link here and follow the instructions. Make sure you select alicense. If however, the photograph is taken by a friend, see this pageand follow the instructions there.
 * Hope this clarifies. prashanthns (talk) 06:53, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree to and understand the copyright law, i just don't remember who it was who took the photograph!!..... in that case, can i change the copyright status on the photograph after i have uploaded it? or would i have to upload it again???

regards Avadheshmalik (talk) 11:19, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Avadhesh. It looks like your file has already been deleted by an admin for lack of any copyright information. If you want to have the photo back, you will have to upload it again. The best option is to upload a photo that you yourself took. Also do not forget to choose an appropriate licencse when you upload. Let me know if you need any help. prashanthns (talk) 13:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Sock-puppetia not Pseudobarnstaria
....wondering if you saw this barnstar apparently given by you to this user. prashanthns (talk) 07:14, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Prashant,


 * This appears to be User:Ekabhishek emerging forth in his real name. Thats who I gave the barnstar to! Post him about the sock-puppetry if you want. AshLin (talk) 07:23, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm....couldnt this be just a case of stolen barnstars? Cant think why this user would do spuppetry? Left a note for comment on his talk page though. prashanthns (talk) 07:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * User:Ekabhishek has raised the issue on admin NB. prashanthns (talk) 09:19, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Good Lord! Is it conceivable? Blatant forgery! How do they expect to get away with it? I'll put in my two bits at WP:ADMIN. Thanks for pointing out something I was so casual about. AshLin (talk) 13:57, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Would like to attend your workshop
Hello! I have an article, written by me, in my sandbox. I have been looking for wiki editors who can help me on reviewing it and providing me their feedback. I would like to attend your workshop in wikipedia and mediawiki. Please provide me the necessary details.PCJain (talk) 06:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

These are not my edits
This is a mix up. I did not edit any of these pages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:96.228.59.55#April_2008. This is logging me under IP 96.228.59.55. This was not my IP address, especially not in April of 2008, as I wasn't even with this ISP. MY ISP must have reset my IP address, because I have been with them since July 2008, and have never received this warning dated 20 April 2008. Can an ISP give you a formerly used IP address? 96.228.59.55 (talk) 13:44, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion,F4.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Mackerelskybig2.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Mackerelskybig2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top ofthe page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged forspeedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:25, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I do not understand why I am receiving this warning. I am not the author of the file in question. prashanthns (talk) 19:50, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:Brhills.jpg is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors to make better use of the image, and it will be more informative for readers.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG(talk) 10:42, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008!

If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ  Talk! or Diannaa TALK of who your referrals are. Once again, thanks for your support!
