copyvio

The text you added to Vanchinathan was copied word for word from the hindu article. This is a violation of copyright and wikipedia doesnt allow that. Please rewrite it in your own words (except for quoting vanchi's letter, the article's contents cannot be copied).--Sodabottle (talk) 10:26, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

List of Tamil studies universities

I have replaied in the article talk page. Basically my concern is the addition will run foul of WP:NOTDIR and make the article lose its FA status. I think a separate list article can be created and linked from the main article.--Sodabottle (talk) 08:58, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:R.K.Shanmugam chettiar.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:R.K.Shanmugam chettiar.jpg. 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) 11:06, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Similarly, please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's guidelines for external links. --Ronz (talk) 17:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Ma.Po.Sivagnanam stamp.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ma.Po.Sivagnanam stamp.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Spamming

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Replaceable fair use File:Prahlad jani.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Prahlad jani.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:29, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

wrong edits regarding WP India tags

Please do not remove WP India tags from article talk pages because you think the article is not important to be in Wikiproject India (as you did in this, this and many other cases). It is not about importance, it is about the scope of WP India.

For example, Nagpur Institute of Technology is very much within the scope of WP India, as this is an educational institute based in Nagpur, a city in India. However, the importance is "low" for overall wikiproject India. And there is a way to inform that, by choosing |importance=low in the WP India tag.

I hope you now appreciate the reason behind WP India tagging, it is both scope and importance of WP India, and also scope and importance under individual daughter projects of WP India. Please read the Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012 carefully, especially this guidance section before proceeding further with tagging. Some of your other assessments were incomplete, so please follow the guidelines. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:49, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

You are doing the tag and assessing excellently. There were some instances when you did not do it correctly (as exemplified above). Everyone makes mistakes, so that is nothing to be concerned about. Assessment is often somewhat subjective, too. The good thing is you are now doing the job splendidly. Congrats, thank you, and happy editing! Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:10, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
