I have pics of assembly members and cabinet ministers but unable to upload them because it has copyright issues, can you help ? Manns8447 (talk) 06:56, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Manns8447 Please read the instructions on Wikipedia:Finding images tutorial. You can only upload images that you have clicked. Or you copied it from Government of India website. All other sites are copyrighted. So their pics will be copyrighted and cannot be uploaded here. Venkat TL (talk) 08:05, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
I have clicked pic of Cabinet minister Harjot Singh Bains, so how to upload it and under which license Manns8447 (talk) 09:45, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Manns8447 you can upload it here While uploading you will be guided to choose the correct license. If you want to decide the license before uploading, check this link for a list of correct license for you and Commons:Licensing. Dont waste your time if you have not clicked it yourself. If the administrators find that you have copied the image from the internet and not clicked by you they may delete it and you may be blocked,if you repeatedly upload copyrighted pics to violate Wikipedia copyright rules. So make sure that pics were clicked by you. Venkat TL (talk) 11:18, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • I am not planning to review this nomination, but I have to note that the nominator is not exempt from QPQ. While they currently have four DYK credits, they have already made more than five DYK nominations. As such, they must do a QPQ for this nomination to pass.

As another comment, given that "greenhorn" may be jargon and thus not understandable to be many readers, it may be better to change that term to something like "first-term legislators" or "first-term members of the Punjab Legislative Assembly". In fact, I'd suggest that "members of the legislative assembly" be added to the first mention of MLA in the article since it's not immediately clear what the abbreviation means, especially to non-Indian readers.
I dont have 5 DYKs, the rule is clear. Greenhorn is an interesting and common word that raises curiosity. It is in headline of Express. I will expand MLA as you suggested. Venkat TL (talk) 12:40, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  Personally I know what "greenhorn" means but I have reservations if most readers do. We usually don't like using technical or niche terms on DYK wherever possible in favor of using easier-to-understand language. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:44, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Greenhorn is not a technical term. Venkat TL (talk) 09:04, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
It is, however, a term that may not be understandable to many readers. I guessed what it means, but it is certainly not a term used in my country to refer to legislators and I'm fairy sure that applies to many other countries as well. Black Kite (talk) 11:21, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Black Kite, ok. I have already added ALTs if the reviewers feel that way. Venkat TL (talk) 11:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • I have re-added the comments that were wrongfully removed. A QPQ is still required. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

    • the Reviewed bullet says "Done, although Exempt"—the QPQ link needs to be in that line to verify. (also, it's not like the promotion of the fifth article automatically means you have 5 DYK credits and need to do a qpq, but I'm not going to promote this if I have to pull it once you get 5 and now need a QPQ for this one. So, functionally, you need a QPQ.) theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 17:38, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
      • Time is in short supply and there are more than one DYK nom waiting a review. Whichever nom gets reviewed first and is held only due to the QPQ will get that link. I am not expecting you to promote this wihout a review. As of now this is "waiting for a review". Venkat TL (talk) 17:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  •   QPQ added. Article has been updated. Need reviewer Venkat TL (talk) 15:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • QPQ done. Review:
    • Article was expanded 5x within the week before nomination, and has 4827 characters of prose. Referencing and tone are fine. Please put the first tables' references in its header since they cover the whole table.
    • Hook fact is present and cited in the article. wikt:greenhorn is attention-getting, but some countries may consider it rude (hence Black Kite's comment). I'll let the promoter choose.
