Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Navendu shirali! My name is Ryan, aka Acetic Acid. I noticed that you were new and haven't received any messages yet. I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it uses different formatting than other sites that use HTML and CSS. In the long run, though, you'll find that the WikiSyntax is a lot easier and faster than those other ways. Here are a few links to get you started:

There are a lot of policies and guides to read, but I highly recommend reading over those first. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, along with a link to your user page. This way, others know when you left a message and how to find you. It's easier than having to type out your name, right? :)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. We can use all the help we can get! Have a nice day. Sincerely, Ryan. 13:19, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

  • You only blanked the article. Someone reverted it back to the way it was. Removing the majority of the article isn't considered removing the POV. It is considered vandalism. Ryan 10:30, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Can Kautilya's Rajarishi be Successful in Today's Corporate? edit

Hi, Navendu. Thanks for getting back to me. Problem with your article is, it falls under the category of original research. Unfortunately, we can't accept your article here in its current state, even if you do hold the copyright. There is also an important rule here regarding a neutral point-of-view. I hope this helps and I'm sure that I speak for everyone here when I say welcome. - Lucky 6.9 17:29, 10 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Check out the original research page to see how Wikipedia defines it. Your work is great as an essay or magazine article, but outside Wikipedia's brief because it's exploring your own theory about the comparison of the management styles.
However, I'm glad to see you took up the idea of expanding the Arthashastra article, which was very thin before. I do advise you, though, to rephrase the material; the copyright situation still may be a problem, as it has appeared in that form on other websites.
And as Lucky 6.9 said, welcome! Tearlach 23:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Somewhat crazy and full of life navendu sees life at an angle unknown to most around him.

Welcome aboard. Thought you might find these India related links useful.

I've noticed you've put a table on the Goa page. Goa is a Featured Article, one of wikipedia's best. This table makes it look untidy. Would you consider moving it to Flora and fauna of Goa instead? Thanks. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:55, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

विकिपीडिया हा विकिपीडिया वाचकांनीच एकत्रित पणे internet वर संपादित केलेला मुक्‍त ज्ञानकोश आहे. हे विकी वेबपेज आहे ज्याचा अर्थ कुणीही (अगदी तुम्ही सुद्धा,) ह्या वेबपेजची बहुतेक पाने/लेख -अगदी हे पान सुद्धा- वर 'संपादन' लिहिलेल्या कळीवर टिचकी मारुन संपादन सुरु करु शकता.

English Write Up edit

You may be aware that Wikipedia is an international Web-based free-content encyclopedia. It exists as a wiki, a website that allows visitors to edit its content; the word Wikipedia itself is a portmanteau of wiki and encyclopedia. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing articles to be changed by anyone with access to the website.

The marathi version of wikipwdia (http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/) is also developing fast and already has more than 4000 articles in it. And marathi has maximum number of articles than any other indian language. Marahi is on number 60of 229 languages in wikipedia.

To maintan this wealth of informtion in Marathi and build it further we seek participation for all Marathi speaking people in this venture.

We Request you to 1. Visit marathi wikipedia http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/ and understand how it works 2. Please add a link to your Web Page

3. Start contributing to marathi wikipwdia 4. Promote use of marathi wikipwdia with your family and friends.

Image:Bose amar.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Bose amar.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 21:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Drreddys logo.JPG edit

 

Thanks for uploading Image:Drreddys logo.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 19:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:Drreddys logo.JPG edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Drreddys logo.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 19:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Non-free use disputed for Image:Drreddys logo.JPG edit

  This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Drreddys logo.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:37, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Duplicate images uploaded edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Navendu Shirali user2.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Navendu Shirali user.JPG. The copy called Image:Navendu Shirali user.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy.

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
