I moved this from your user page, Debastein. Inisa, these kinds of messages go on user's talk pages, not their user pages. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 17:05, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

• Hi Debastein, I left some help on Inisa's talk page about how to put the necessary information on the file pages if she actually drew the graphs herself [1]. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 18:21, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Inisa, well, if you ask for my opinion, those images don't seem to be of that great quality. I'd recommend you letting them be deleted and take better pictures and upload them with the permission of the deleting admin by specifying a license when you upload via the image uploader. For help, check out this Addimage. If you would like to continue with the images, I'd recommend not to but if these are your images and you wish to specify license information. Click on the images, Life-Cycle Consumption Function and Effect of Changes in Wealth on the Consumption Function click on edit and just before File History, i.e. something like == File history == if you have clicked edit already, paste this code:
=={{int:license-header}}==
{{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}
I hope that helps, if you still have problems, do contact me and please post on my talk page and not my user page Regards, your friendly neighbourhood Campus Ambassador, Debastein (talk) 20:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Voceditenore, thanks for moving that section to my talk page. Hope I have advised the student above adequately. Please feel free to join the discussion any time. Debastein (talk) 20:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok so I didn't realise you edited my talkpage while I myself was editing resulting in an edit conflict, I fixed it. Thanks for the info, you are pretty fast it seems. Cheers, even I've left some info. Hope it helps you Inisa, you are in more capable hands than myself. Cheers, Debastein (talk) 21:00, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Debastein, I think you're right about the images not being of the best quality, so if Inisa has the time and wants to upload better versions, that's an option too, although she/he doesn't have to let the original page be deleted to upload a newer version. So it might be a good idea to just get the licensing right on the page first and then upload better versions later. It's funny, Wikipedia has all these templates which are supposed to make things easier, but I find that a lot of them are very daunting for beginners to use, more daunting than just doing it by hand. The {{cite}} template is another one. I never use it—too fiddly and too inflexible. But maybe that's because I'm an old lady. Anyhow, just give a shout if you need any more input. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey Voceditenore, I completely agree with you. As a beginner, certain tasks and templates appear to daunting. For example, initially, I once took about 30mins just to understand and replicate the {{talkback}} template. It appeared cool yet perplexing. These days, I just use Twinkle and it takes me seconds. That is one of my advantages of being a Campus Ambassador, I can just go to the students and show them what to do. As for the old lady comment, I'm 21 and you are more active and enthusiastic about and in Wikipedia than I can imagine currently. You work harder and more passionately than most people I know. So, I don't know who is old on Wiki, me or you. But if you still persist on the old lady phrase, I'd just say, Old is Gold and Gold is never Old.

Economic survey

Please look at this history.

Zidanie moved the page to a better title [2]. When xe did that, it left a redirect.

You removed the redirect line [3] and then you tagged the page as CSD#A1 "No context" [4].

You also notified Zidanie that the article had been marked for CSD [5].

I imagine this was just some kind of mistake. The redirect Economic Survey could possibly be deleted, but not as A1, and there's certainly no need to notify Zidanie about deletion of an "article" that he did not create.

I have undone your edits to the redirect page [6] and Zidanie's talk [7].  Chzz  ►  20:42, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

All I have to say is that, for once, Twinkle failed me. Do Assume Good Faith. I saw the move but I just wanted to unlink the redirect and delete the page as I pointed out in the edit summary, that not every Economic survey is an Economic survey of India, sorry for the confusion. But I'd still recommend at least removing the redirect?? Debastein (talk) 20:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I think it would be better as a disambiguation page, listing various economic surveys, probably.  Chzz  ►  21:05, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Even I feel as such. Its better as a disambiguation page. Debastein (talk) 21:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Or an article about economic surveys. Suprising that there isn't one, really.  Chzz  ►  21:13, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

That's actually an even better idea. Currently I've redirected it as a disambiguation page. Here in India, its pretty late, hence, I'm going to sleep. Will work on this as soon as I wake up. Maybe list it inside the disambiguation page?? I'm reverting my edits and keeping it back as it was till we reach a consensus as to what best it can be made.
