Welcome!

Hello, Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Fair use in Wikipedia

Hi. I noticed that you uploaded a few images that you tagged with fair use rationales. I appreciate that you went to the trouble of filling these out, but it seems difficult to argue that such a basic representation can't be reproduced. It it's a standard representation, you should be able to re-draw it without relying on fair use. If it isn't something you can recreate, you need to explain your rationale more clearly.

As an aside, non-free content can only be used in mainspace - you can't use it in your sandbox. You can't add it until your work is out of your sandbox. Please contact me if you need additional clarification on any of this. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:24, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Feedback

Nice work on your draft. I have a few suggestions for your going forward.

Wikipedia articles start with lead sections that should summarize all the main points of the article. Right now your lead seems more like an introduction to the topic. When you're writing for Wikipedia, try to front-load information as much as possible. Most readers aren't going to read very far into the article or into a section, so start with the big things, and then add the details. For example, you start the "Crack propagation laws" section by saying

To predict fatigue life, several crack-propagation laws are proposed in the past. Some of them can be found in the works of Head^[2], Frost and Dugdale^[3], McEvily and Illg^[4], and Liu^[5].

You should start with a simple summary that's accessible to the average person. You're writing for the general public, not your colleagues. Once you've said it in broad terms, then you can go on to explain things in depth. But start with an explanation.

You should also avoid things like Some of them can be found in the works of Head^[2], Frost and Dugdale^[3].... You can't send the general public off the track down the literature without giving them some indication as to why. You should be using sources to support what you're saying, not sending readers there to get background. (You can do this by linking to other Wikipedia articles that explain the concepts, if those articles exist, but first you need to give them enough context so they don't have to go off and read those articles.) In addition, when you refer to people, please use their full name. Ideally you should add a few words about what they were ("Brazilian mathematician [x]...")

(An aside on formatting - section headers should use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization - only the first word and any proper nouns should be capitalizes. And references go after punctuation, not before.)

Another thing - you shouldn't be using the first or second person in an encyclopaedia article. Wikipedia is the one talking to the reader, and Wikipedia isn't self-aware enough (yet) to say something like Let's assume that we know.... Instead of saying It is to be noted that the above analytical expressions for... consider something like The analytical expressions for.... "It is to be noted" is filler, it doesn't add any meaningful information, while "above" presumes a certain sort of spatial arrangement in the article that will change over time as the article is edited.

Non-free content use

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User:Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata/sandbox, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:41, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata. Non-free content such as File:Crack propagation curve.pdf can only be used in the article namespace per Wikipedia non-free content use criteria #9, which means you cannot use it in User:Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata/sandbox. The file has actually been removed a couple of times already, once by myself and once by another editor, but you've re-added it each time. I've removed the file once again; so, please don't continue to re-add it.

You've was previously advised about this kind of this by your Wiki Ed advisor Ian in the post he left above about a week ago. If there's something you don't understand about what Ian posted or have any further questions about non-free content use, feel free to ask Ian by posting at User talk:Ian (Wiki Ed) or ask for help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

It's OK to make a mistake like this once maybe even twice, and many editors (even experienced editors) often do; however, it's not OK to keep making the same mistake over and over again, especially when you've been advised not to do so. Behavior such as thought often is considered disruptive and can lead to an administrator stepping in and issuing a more formal final warning. So, before anything like that happens, ask for help if you have any questions. There are plenty of editors like Ian who will be more than happy to try and help you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:53, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

I think this might be OK, if it's entirely re-drawns. I think this might count as a "standard representation" of a mathematical relationship. Marchjuly, it's on page 4 of this article. Mathematically, it is what it is, that's just data. Calling the log-linear zone "regime B" and the other zones regime A and C are standard. The "design choices", so to speak, in the original pertain to the placement of the notes in the figure, and that wasn't reproduced here.

I think it would be fair to label it as "own work", not fair use, but I'd really be interested in a second opinion here. The format is a problem though - pdfs don't work well in Wikipedia articles. A vector image would probably be best. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:35, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

If you feel sufficiently ambitious, one way around this entire problem is to use m:Extension:Graph to build the graph in Wikipedia entirely. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Purvadhanashree

Hello Sairam Pamulaparthi Venkata,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Purvadhanashree for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate 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 don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
