File permission problem with File:Image of Arvind Swamy.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Image of Arvind Swamy.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 04:46, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

TOTD update edit

The Tip of the day department has been reinvigorated by a new driving force. Joe Hebda is leading the effort to update the tip library, and maintaining a buffer of tips prepared to go live. The buffer now extends out about 2 months from the current date. The work includes revising tips and replacing obsolete tips with new ones. If you find a spare moment, stop by and let Joe know what you think of his work. And if you have any cool tips on how to get things done faster or better, please share!

TOTD help request edit

[1]

Dear Sachinmtk,

I noticed you are signed up as a participant at WT:TOTD.

As you know, in addition to being displayed on thousands of user pages, the Tip of the day is also presented on some of the highest-traffic pages of the Wikipedia community, including the main help page, and the Community portal.

One thing that the Tip of the day department needs on an ongoing basis is maintenance of its tips, in the form of proofreading.

One way you could help with that is to display the tip of the day at the bottom of your talk page, where you would regularly see it. Then, if you notice any problems, you could dip in and fix them.

We have a special tip template that displays the tip 2 days in advance (in order to precede all time zones), to assist in checking tips before they go "live". That template has a secondary function as well: it provides a place to post department notices, when needed.

Notice the reference at the top of this message. That is a nifty little trick, to hang anything desired at the bottom of a talk page. I've used it to display the template just mentioned. If you place that at the top of your talk page somewhere, the daily tip will always be displayed below the last message on the page.

Just a bonus tip, from your friendly neighborhood Tip of the day department. ;)    — The Transhumanist   18:37, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

    Please proofread the daily tip before it goes "live"...

    It's displayed below two days early, so it can be error-checked and made ready-to-display for all time zones.

    Some tips are obsolete. So we need new tips too. Please share your best tips and tip ideas at the Tip of the day department.

    Go to the right desk
    • The Teahouse is primarily for newer editors' questions about topics such as creating pages, citing sources, and approval of articles.
    • The Help desk is for more experienced editors' questions about how to use Wikipedia.
    • Village pump (technical) is for more technical questions about Wikipedia.
    • The Reference desk is for questions about life, the universe, and everything (other than about Wikipedia). It's a virtual version of the reference desk at a library. Wikipedians are very knowledgeable, and if they don't know the answer, they can probably find it pretty quickly.
