Speedy deletion nomination of Polaris Software Lab


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Polaris Software Lab requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mediran talk to me! 12:06, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Looking for help with the article about Accenture
Hello Shahvr, I'm reaching out to you because I see that you've previously made a few housekeeping edits to the article for Accenture. I'm currently working on behalf of Accenture to make some updates and improvements to their article. Because of my financial COI, I don't make edits directly. Instead, I run them by volunteer editors to make sure everything looks okay, and ask that they actually implement the changes. I've been working with another editor on the Accenture article, User:FeralOink, but they seem to be busy, and there's also one open issue at Accenture that I'd like to get another opinion about. If you have time, do you think you could take a look at Talk:Accenture and see what you think?

If you're interested in Accenture, I'm also working on improving the article for their Chairman & CEO, 'Pierre Nanterme. There's details about that at Talk:Pierre Nanterme.

Thanks! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 13:45, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

IIIT Una
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of IIIT Una, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Indian Institute of Information Technology Una. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:49, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Komal+Mangtani+TechCrunch+Disrupt+SF+2015.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Komal+Mangtani+TechCrunch+Disrupt+SF+2015.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:06, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Nsut logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Nsut logo.png. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 09:26, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:SJSOM.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:SJSOM.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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. theinstantmatrix (talk) 08:10, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Unspecified source/license for File:Iit-bombay.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Iit-bombay.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

File copyright problem with File:IIT Bombay color logo.png
Thank you for uploading File:IIT Bombay color logo.png. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. funplussmart (talk) 03:29, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Echo Arch, IIT Bombay.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Echo Arch, IIT Bombay.jpg, which you've attributed to IIT Bombay. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:06, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Komal Mangtani moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Komal Mangtani, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources in order to demonstrate the subject's notability. Of the sources provided, #1 is a like-list of top X people (generally not considered enough to demonstrate notability as it doesn't have sufficient depth), #2 is a Q&A published on a blog-hosting site (not independent, not reliable), #3 and #5 are mere-mentions of the subject, and #4 is a speech given by the subject (not independent).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. signed,Rosguill talk 15:54, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India


A tag has been placed on Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Shahvr, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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. (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 the 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 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also 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. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Zoodino (talk) 05:49, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

July 2020
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. 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 read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. MER-C 11:27, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

You were not blocked because you were unaware of every policy. We don't expect users to be aware of all policies- though we do expect that you communicate with others when your edits are challenged or policies are pointed out to you. However, copyright issues can potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, so it is important to address such matters. Please describe in your own words what copyright means and under what circumstances copyrighted content can be used. 331dot (talk) 08:13, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Copyright is different from country to country and it is entitled to the original creators or authors or publishers or owners as their intellectual property rights. It means that it prevents others to use them unless a use is considered fair (non-commercial use) or a permission is taken from their owners.

In context of Wikipedia, if I am editing or adding text to Wikipedia, then I need to verify the re-use/re-distribution policies & copyright permissions of the sources (be it online new-site, book or other). Even if I am the original author of the content, I must have to license them under Creative Commons License however copyright is never transferred to Wikipedia and I still retain copyright to materials I contribute to Wikipedia, be it text and media. For public domain works (all the creative work to which copyrights are inapplicable now like some famous artists’, scientists' or engineers' work), I don't need to take any permission as their copyright is explicitly disclaimed. Always give credit to the author(s) whenever you edit or create Wiki pages and never misuse or infringe the copyrights of them. Because any misuse or infringement creates legal liabilities and seriously hurts the reputation of Wikipedia. Always write the content in your words thereby creating a new copyrighted work which can be included in Wikipedia without much trouble. Copying within Wikipedia is even required the source credit or edit summary at the destination page as it requires supplementary attribution to indicate it. Though Wikipedia server is hosted in the US and is bound to comply with US copyright law, it has many international projects, users & contributors (like me) so some may still be under copyright law in the source country and in other countries. This is all I know. Shahvr (talk) 15:19, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
