Proposed deletion of How do you prove the earth is round?

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article How do you prove the earth is round?, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

WP:NOT howto

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of Durga Das Basu

Hello Iksa01,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Durga Das Basu for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 02:38, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:E.S.Reddy.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:E.S.Reddy.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:07, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:E.S.Reddy.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:E.S.Reddy.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Blurred Lines 18:02, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Uniform Civil Code

Hi, I'm glad you're interested in improving this page. But please don't break it into really short paras, that tends to make the readability worse. The lead section can have only four paras max (see WP:Leadlength), I agree that it's a bit lengthy right now and am willing to make it into three. About the rest of the article, I had carefully grouped the inline cites which support those statements, (Breaking it into fragments will make it confusing in terms of verifiability) and split each paras pertaining to different subjects. Also take a look at Writing better articles, there it explains how to split paras. One–two sentence paras are extremely too short and will make an entire section extremely confusing to read. See our featured articles and good articles for examples too. Sincerely, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 10:58, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I once again urge you to please read the above links that I sent (especially Writing better articles) since you may not be that familiar with editing; it'll help you. I've waited for your response and I'm assuming we're clear on this now, will undo your spacing. Good day, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 19:55, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Chaturvedi Badrinath

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Chaturvedi Badrinath, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://chaturvedibadrinath.com/about.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

License tagging for File:Chaturvedi Badrinath.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Chaturvedi Badrinath.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
