License tagging for Image:Flag of Chitral.gif edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Flag of Chitral.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 06:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Northern Language Map.JPG edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Northern Language Map.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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 05:23, 30 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Northern Language Map.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

Hi there, thanks for getting back to me. Let me reassure you that I am not opposed to a map at all. What I am concerned about is that the map has no clear labels and no context for uninformed readers. Imagine I am a reader who knows nothing about India, Pakistan or Kashmir; how would I know which places this is showing me? How would I know what each of the different colours represent? If you can upload a version with labels then I have no other problems with the map. Green Giant (talk) 03:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

The colors represent the geographical region where the language is spoken. This is a map about languages, not about administrative divisions.

I have commented on the file's talkpage. Green Giant (talk) 16:03, 11 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 13 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chitrali cuisine, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Laghman and Uzbek (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

December 2013 edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Pancake does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Can you please start using edit summaries? Deleting a bunch of sourced content without explaining why will result in reversions. Even "see talk page" is good enough. NeilN talk to me 00:34, 16 December 2013 (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.
