Fair use rationale for Image:Gslv2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Gslv2.jpg. The image description 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.

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.

Blanking pages
Please do not blank pages as you did to Comrade Wolf. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If you wanted it deleted, you should have put it up for deletion at Redirects for deletion. See also: Articles for deletion/Comrade Wolf. Thanks. --Zoz (t) 14:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Telugu script needed
Hi, can you add the Telugu script at Chaunk? Thank you, Badagnani (talk) 18:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:GSLV launch.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:GSLV launch.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Abdus salaam desecrated grave.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Abdus salaam desecrated grave.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 19:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 19:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Aimal Kansi.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Aimal Kansi.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:27, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

ARBIPA sanctions alert
Kautilya3 (talk) 13:40, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Casting aspersions
Dear Scourgeofgod, I have alerted you about ARBIPA sanctions a couple of days ago. I think you need to read and follow Wikipedia policies. I am also getting troubled by your increasing tendency to cast WP:aspersions. Here are examples:
 * The deletion of TOI citation itself shows bias.
 * Undid malicious removal of primary citations by user Kautilya3.
 * undid malicious edits of user kautilya deleting the primary citations.
 * Raising a NPOV dispute due to the malicious deletions of primary citations of legitimate opposing POV by user Kautilya3.
 * I think this malicious deletion of primary citations from the apparently unpalatable opposing POV is clear bias on part of user. yet the user Kautilya3 is maliciously scrubbing an encyclopediac article of all opposing POV sources

You need to STOP doing this asap. Please discuss the content, not the editors. And justify your positions by referring to Wikipedia policies, not your personal opinions about what is going on. If you do this kind of thing again, I will report you. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:04, 4 November 2016 (UTC)


 * So if i some one points out your recurrent silent scrubbing of opposing POV duly sourced from primary sources you label them as "casting aspersions"? First you must provide me an explanation on why you are deleting the primary citations added by me without giving an explanation yourself.The burden of proof is on you not me as the citations ive added are directly related to the case & the personality.As you are the one who started deleting duly sourced material backed by primary sources not some webportals of ultra-leftist magazines(with less than 40,000 circulation in a country of 1.2 Billion people) like Caravan or some clickbait online newsaggregators like Breakingnewsonline.net & claiming only your sources to be "reliable".You are free to report whatever but this recurrent vandalism by deleting primary sources will be definitely highlighted by me. Scourgeofgod (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * All edits are subject to review. When they are reverted, you are expected to discuss the issues and arrive at a consensus. You should not demonise the editors in the process.
 * As to the sources you have supposedly provided, they do not state that the confession was extracted under duress. They only state that Aseemand claimed that it was obtained under duress. That is a big difference.
 * Since you are not understanding any of this, I would like to invite admins and  to advise you. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:28, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll try this one more time.The individual refuting the "confession" is not some third person.Rather he is the same individual to whom the "confession" was originally attributed to.So when he claims that the confession was extracted under duress when he was under confinement his claim as it stands in the open court has primacy over any other's claim on admissibility of the "confession".Hence the intutive principle of natural justice that no person can be forced to testify against himself.The Judge by denying the admissibility of the "confession" and granting bail to the under-trial(Aseemanand) has only upheld this time honored principle of general jurisprudence.So when you claim that Aseemanand's statement in open court - that his "confession" has been extracted under duress doesn't matter you are twisting the matter into some thing which it is not.It is not A's claims on validity of B's statement where you can attribute bias to A and deny his claim.This is a case where A's claim that his own (i.e A's) statement has been extracted under coercion & his right to declare in open court that he does not standby the "confession" signed by him.His claim in this case is legally recognized & cannot be dismissed by any hand-waving arguments that A's claim doesn't matter once he had signed off his "confession" during his time of confinement.Henceforth in this case there is no objective legally established fact of "confession" but only a subjective legally disputed fact of "confession" and which has to be always qualified by the accused claim that it has been extracted from him via coercion.Hence the wording "Aseemanand confessed to ..." is quite improper & i qualified his confession by wording it as "Aseemanand confessed self admittedly under duress to...".For some reason you did't like my simple edit.And started reverting my qualification repeatedly while each time deleting my primary & reliably sourced citations from syndicated national print dailies of India (except Siasat - which actually happens to be an Indian Muslim led news portal hosting opinion & syndicated news stories) and yet(on a Hindu-Muslim issue) frankly acknowledged that the prosecuting agency's(NIA) case has fallen apart as it was mostly based on the "confession" of the accused)).I would like to invite also into the conversation.Scourgeofgod (talk) 23:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * On the issue of attributing bias - i clearly perceived bias as my simple edit rooted in clear fact was repeatedly reverted with little explanation and worse my reliably sourced citations for even an preexisting line in the article("Aseemanand stated that he had been pressurised by the investigating agencies to confess that he was behind these blasts.") were deleted again and again.And i perceived it to be done with mal-intent.If the admins wish to strikeoff my statements attributing bias,i wont protest as its my personal opinion and i cannot impose it on everyone. Scourgeofgod (talk) 23:38, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi there, Scourgeofgod. I haven't reviewed the edits in detail yet, but regardless of circumstance, edit summaries such as the ones above should be avoided. Not only is this an issue of casting aspersions, but also of basic civility. Now you might legitimately take issue with Kautilya's edits, but odds are that this is due to a different understanding, or different interpretation, of NPOV and the source material, than of any actual malice. Therefore, go to the talk page (which you have done; good!) and sort the matter out in a civil manner. Furthermore, Kautilya is correct in saying that Wikipedia is based on reliable sources: more specifically, we certainly cannot present disputed information in Wikipedia's voice unless it is stated explicitly by a reliable source. A judge's opinion, or the opinion of anybody else for that matter, does not constitute a reliable source, and cannot be used as the basis of our articles. And before you say that news articles or scholarly sources are also "opinions," those sources are subject to editorial review, which is why they are considered reliable. I hope this helps. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 10:36, 6 November 2016 (UTC)


 * None of those edit summaries are acceptable. Discuss content, use reliable sources, seek a WP:3O or broader dispute resolution, but do not cast POV aspersions. I'm not going to formally sanction you but will do so if you continue to defend those edit summaries or continue to accuse other editors of POV biases. --regentspark (comment) 14:51, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Translation request
Hi Scourgeofgod, recently, an IP editor - 117.246.95.10 - requested that the article Philippine Drug War be translated into the Telugu language, I answered their request for help, but I'm asking you as I can't speak Telugu and I also notice that you are speaker of both Telugu and English. If you can help translate, please do! The IP and I would be very grateful. Thank you very much for reading this message.  Seagull123  Φ  20:14, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
