Proposed deletion of Manek Chowk

The article Manek Chowk has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established, would have to be fundamentally rewritten to be included.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Deletion discussion about State Car for President of India

Hello, Shalinparikh003, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/State Car for President of India whether the article State Car for President of India should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving State Car for President of India, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions! Dennis Brown (talk) 13:51, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Gujarat State

Shalin you replaced photographs of Sidi Saiyad Jali and other historical sites photographs with more latest and urban photographs. It was a bold move don't you think it should be discussed first. I haven't rolled it back as you did a good job and it looks also good but still if you look most of the state pages they have blend of both so I wonder if you work in that direction then it will be far more appealing. You have added Laxmi Vilas Palace and Gandhi Ashram so consider adding Sidi saiyad's jali photograph to history section.--Vyom25 (talk) 07:19, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Dam Site by Navarun.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Dam Site by Navarun.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Help with Copyright

Hi,

You seem to be having a lot of difficulty with copyright policy. Rather than get yourself into more difficulty, I suggest that you do the following things:

1. Do not upload any pictures you find on the web.
2. Do not copy text you find on the web, not even to change the wording of the copied text
3. Only write new text in your own words.

Please reply here and let me know you've read, and understood what I've posted.

File:Dam Site by Navarun.jpg, I have taken permission of the author Navarun of posting his pic to Wikipedia and he has given me the permission to upload his file so i have uploaded it and I cant catch you why you are saying for its speedy deletion?? If you don't believe me you can ask him by sending msg in flickr. You were talking about I should not upload pics bcs I'm having problems of copyright status but I would like to learn from you for how to upload any pic to Wikipedia, bcs most of pics uploaded to Indian section I'm not satisfied with them bcs I think India has much more to see than poverty or any other useless pics. We can search and upload much more beautiful pics to the respective sections. If you see to the USA section even they have a village description on Wikipedia and that too with good pictures but here all it is all reverse.

• Reply - The problem is that we only have your word that permission has been granted. We have no proof. We have no indication what license he released the image under. Have your read an understood Wikipedia:Copyrights? Can you tell me what license he released the image under? The file at flickr very clearly indicates that the file is copyrighted with all rights reserved. In order for the file to be usable for wikipedia, it needs to be released under an acceptable license and properly recorded as such either by having the image explicitly released under that license on flickr, which is not the case here, or through the copyright holder sending an email releasing the image under appropriate license to WP:OTRS who will log and note that appropriate permission has been obtained from the copyright holder. -- Whpq (talk) 18:20, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

In this case, if the author has given you permission, it would be quite reasonable to ask him to change the license statement on Flickr; it's an easy thing for an author to do. If that happens, go to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, where you can request that the photos be undeleted — saying that permission has now been granted and giving a link to the Flickr page will surely result in a quick restoration of the image.

File permission problem with File:Desert Safari Kutch by Bhaumik Gadani.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Desert Safari Kutch by Bhaumik Gadani.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Desert Safari Kutch by Bhaumik Gadani.jpg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on File:Desert Safari Kutch by Bhaumik Gadani.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Image licensing

Hi,

I'm glad to see you are better understanding the imgage licensing needed for Wikipedia. One thing you need to be aware of is that you need to provide the correct license. Markign it as your own with the {{self}} template is incorrect as you are not the copyright holder. I've corrected the licensing on the images. For future image uploads, you should use that type of template. If you have any questions, please ask. Don't guess at a license. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 16:05, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

What did you think about the deletion notice you received?

Hi Shalinparikh003,

In November you received a message about either "Nomination for deletion" or "Proposed deletion" of an article you created. I'd like to ask you a few quick questions:

1. Was the message helpful? Were the instructions clear and easy to follow?
2. If not, how do you think the message could be improved?
3. What do you think about the deletion process in general? Do you understand how to contest a deletion?

You can feel free to answer on my talk page or send me your response by email (mpinchukwikimedia.org). (I won't quote you or link your answers to your username if you don't feel comfortable with that.) Your feedback is incredibly useful for improving the content of deletion notifications, so please take a minute to think about and answer these questions. Thank you!
