Your recent edits edit

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:38, 29 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image source problem with Image:You.png edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:You.png. 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, 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, 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}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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: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 01:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 01:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Fair use rationale for Image:Jawed karim 2.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Jawed karim 2.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:You2.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:You2.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 22:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jawed karim 2.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Jawed karim 2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

July 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Dalit are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Vianello (talk) 04:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: Talk:Dalit. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I would really, strongly advise that you take a little break. The only change you're going to create by verbally abusing people is going to be getting yourself blocked. And that's not a very productive change. I know your intentions are good, so I don't want to see that happen to you. Vianello (talk) 04:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Dalit. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Terrifictriffid (talk) 07:55, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 8 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at Dalit. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Potential sockpuppet edit

I've noticed that both you and User:58.160.80.210 make the same edits to Dalit, including using the same talking style on the talk page. This might just be due to you forgetting to login before making edits, but if it continues, you may be reported for sockpuppetry. Please make sure to login before editing pages.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Your test on Dalits worked, and has been removed. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. SoWhy Talk 20:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

July 2008 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Overseas Chinese, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Angelo De La Paz (talk) 23:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Arjuna316, are you from Indonesia? Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 09:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please moderate your behaviour with other Wikipedians. edit

Hi, I was just looking at your messages on Talk:Dalit. It seems like you need to understand some things. First of all please comment on the issues , not on other editors. Please be civil in your discussions. DO not make personal attacks on other editors. And please understand that on Wikipedia , credentials are irrelevant. You cannot ask someone to not edit the article because he is not Indian or not Dalit. Your edits do not carry any additional weight just because you are related to the particular article. All material must be backed by reliable references. It would be good if you take some time to read the links in the welcome message on the top of the page. Thanks. --Deepak D'Souza (talkcontribs) 12:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I had sent you a message before. Please be civil in your behaviour. Using CAPS in messages is equivalent to SHOUTING at others. Also understand that your stements have to be substantiated by relaible sources. Also please read WP:NPOV and WP:CONSENSUS.

I will not undo your changes to Dalit becasue I do not wish to indulge in an edit war. Let us discuss this on the talk page. --Deepak D'Souza 05:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

You can not remove reliable sources as you did :Here and here. If sources conflict, discuss first. RlevseTalk 04:01, 27 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Since you persist, again and again, you have been blocked for 31 hours for disruptive edit warring. RlevseTalk 12:50, 27 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Dalits edit

Arjuna,

Dalits is not an Indian or Hindu issue. It is specifically a South Asian and in general an humanity issue. We should not have political aim in Wikipedia to unite people or divide. We aim to keep knowledge as factual as possible. Politics should not have any place in Wikipedia because this is an encyclopedic project. You have tried consistently to do a couple of things in the article.

  1. Reduce the over all number of Dalits in India to a mere 60 million when all reliable sources say that it’s now at 170 million or more.
  2. You have tried to present that there is no Genetic difference at all between at all when there is opposite view that is viable available from reliable sources.
  3. You keep claiming Dalit heritage and as I said it does not matter what heritage one is whether Dalit or Brahmin as long as we adhere to the five pillars.

Going forwards, don’t removed cited material and try to find citations for all the information you have added because by Wikipedia rules we can remove all that but I want because I belive in harmonious editing and giving the other guy a chance to improve the article.

Also the article is missing information about Dalits in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. It is too India centric when the phenomenon is South Asia wide. May be you can find us information on these topics specifically what is happening in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Taprobanus (talk) 15:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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.

File permission problem with File:Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim.png. 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 {{permission 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 08:22, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
