Tamil To Do page

Hi, I just made some suggestions on the To Do page for Tamil. But the edits don't show up. Possibly something to do with moderation? --Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan

It takes a while when we transclude other pages content. You can now see that they've come correctly. In the future, after adding a TO DO item to the Tamil page, click on the purge the cache link in Talk:Tamil language below the TO DO box. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 12:23, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Please do not add your comments to the archives in my talk page. I might miss them.

Image copyright problem with Image:CCGK Photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CCGK Photo.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 19:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. Please provide the image an appropriate tag, like {{GFDL-self}}, {{PD-self}}. If these are not suitable please tag it suitably by choosing a tag from WP:ICT. Regards, Shyam ^(T/C) 13:38, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Your change to the Chola Infobox template

I notice that you have inserted your change to the Preceding state entry in the Chola infobox. This is incorrect as noted in my edit summary. Pallavas did not preceed the Cholas. The Chola dynasty article deals with the Cholas from the Early Cholas upto the Chalukya Cholas. Pallavas only came during the interim period when the Cholas were in decline. As this is a Feature article please do not make unilateral changes without discussing firt in the Talk pages. - Parthi 06:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

PutVote.com

A tag has been placed on PutVote.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:PutVote.com. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall ^talk 06:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Just remember--we're not psychic. We can only judge an article on what's there, not what's going to be there. If you wish to recreate the article with more information, I suggest creating a subpage of your userpage and working on it there before copying the result to the article itself. Just make sure that there is enough content there to justify its inclusion under Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Thanks, and take care. --Finngall ^talk 06:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

PutVote.com

My speedy deletion wasn't the final say as to whether an article should exist - simply that the article as it was did not give any reason why the site mattered. Please feel free to write an article that gives a bit more detail as to why the site is important. News mentions, estimates on popularity from reliable sources, financial figures, etc etc. would all help. The problem with the article as I deleted it was that it mentioned none of this.

Re: Biasing of Indian articles

Dear Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan,

I am requesting your assistance in dealing with a user who routinely biases indian articles by interweaving discredited colonial theories, original research, and fanwank.

• He has knitted together 3 maps (2 of which are inaccurate and mischaracterized) and stated that the indo greeks ruled all over northern india and parts of Maharashtra (debunked and discredited colonial theories) [[1]]
• He has rejected compromise and reneged on agreements.
• He has committed original research violations by interpreting primary sources directly and has created inaccurate maps that he changes at his own whim)[[2]]
• He has wrongly credited foreign influences on india ranging from astronomy (he originally wrote that the greeks gave india astronomy) to mahayana buddhism
• He wrote that the greeks helped chandragupta conquer the nandas (contradicted by eminent scholars)
• He engages in fanwank (i.e. Yamuna page where he insists that seleucus' campaigns be mentioned, even when he did not reach the yamuna, simply because people who like greek history--as he does--would find that interesting. Must we add the british, dutch, and turkish discoveries as well?)

As such, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. If you could please add your support in my appeal to the wikipedia administration in correcting the Indo Greek article (which he rules as a personal fiefdom), that would make a big difference. His work is quietly diluting the accuracy and quality of indian articles, and I truly hope we can put end to that. Users vastu, pavanapuram,windy city dude, and mahitgar have already called that contributor's practices into question. Your assistance and voice would be welcome. Thank you for your time and understanding.

Regards,

Devanampriya 22:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Indian Tamil protests

Hello, I see that you are a Tamilian from India. Can you do all Tamils and Wikipedia a favour by creating an article and adding information about the protests that have happened in Tamil Nadu concerning the Sri Lankan Civil War? It will add to the current series of articles that have been made concerning the Tamil protests that have been happening around the world. To get some ideas on how they should be, you can see the following articles:

• 2009 Tamil protests
• 2009 Tamil protests in Canada
• 2009 Tamil protests in the United Kingdom
• 2009 Tamil protests in Australia

If you wish to contribute to these series, please start an article titled: 2009 Tamil protests in India. Once again, it would be nice if you can. Thank you. Eelam StyleZ ^(talk) 22:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:CCGK Photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CCGK Photo.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.selectiveamnesia.org/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia: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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 19:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
