{{web-screenshot}} tag
editI've noticed you've uploaded some images tagged with {{web-screenshot}}. This tag is not meant to be used for images that came from Web pages; it's meant to be used for images of Web pages (such as Image:Wikipedia.PNG, for example). I've retagged the images below as having no license information. Please edit the image description pages to include information about the licenses these images are under. —Bkell 04:48, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
I see that you are overactive on the NSIT page , deleting and modifying content. Are you in any way even related to it ? Most of the content in which you have placed citation needed is present on publications in college which are copyrighted and protected by laws and cant be placed on the internet. I recommed you spend 750 rupees and buy the college prospectus and then we talk.
And as far as 145 acres citation, its not a fact which needs verification, next you will make us verify its present in New Delhi and then verify its a govt college etc. Please refrain from adding unnecessary fact tags on the NSIT page. Your other fact tags were well placed and appropriate info has been added.

Some conclusions on the Talk:Systems engineering
editHi Gnusbiz, Sorry to have kept your waiting on the Talk:Systems engineering page. I really appreciate your contributions and would like to continue exhanging ideas. I now proposed five endings on the Talk:Systems engineering, to make room for new initiative. I would appreciate it, if you would take a last look at these point and add any comments you like. Thank you. - Mdd 23:02, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Mdd, I've seen your comments on the SE page. I agree with all of them and will continue to work along those lines. Thanks for organizing the SE page. I'll add a few more discussion topics on the talk page that could help in further contribution. gnusbiz 00:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for this feedback. I now archived the past discussion and will respond to your new talk-item. As you already put, I'm organizing, and I've been wonder for some time now the synergy between Allan, you and me. I'm kind of the organizer, your the editer and Allan the controler. If you feel confortable with the way things work out and you want to keep working on the SE, I would like to invite you to join the WikiProject Systems. I'm looking forward in establishing this a little more formal cooperation. - Mdd 00:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for the invitation. Sure, I'd very much like to keep working on SE pages. I'll add my name to the participant list now. gnusbiz 00:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, your very welcome. - Mdd 00:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Further editing
editI want to add that the above way of working together is not really the ideal I'm looking for. I've been thinking about it from the moment I wrote it... and started some writing on my own, but not yet on the SE article though. I think my ideal is more, that everybody writes his and here share, and inspires others to improve all kinds of conditions. Greetings - Mdd 22:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- I completely agree with you. In fact, the quality of an article will only improve through contributions from multiple editors. Today I started writing a section for tools (for SE), but decided that I'll add it once it becomes worth improving. I don't usually fancy such large edits in one go, but perhaps in case of new sections, where I feel there is much I can add, I'd wait before putting it in public view. gnusbiz 02:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you start working on larger edits or on new sections, in Wikipedia you canb make a temporary user subpage. Here you work on the Wikipedia but off-line from the main article space. This has particular advantages if you work (like me) on to different places on two computers. An other advantage is that we can discust new sections before they go online in the main Wikipedia article space. Two examles I'm using at the moment are User:Mdd/Ludwig von Bertalanffy and User:Mdd/Debora Hammond. Maybe this can be of any help? - Mdd 13:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you! that is a very good idea. I can see the formatting live, and, as you said, the edits are accessible anywhere. gnusbiz 13:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Systems announcement
editNow your a member of the WikiProject Systems I took the liberty of making an announcement about your work at the Systems Engineering page, mentioning you by name. If you want to correct or add some thing to that announcement, please do. Thank you - Mdd 10:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, thank you, again. gnusbiz 13:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
editHello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.
As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.
If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.
You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Thanks for uploading File:The Caravan Magazine Cover, October 2011.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:05, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Caravan Magazine India, September 1944 Cover.png
edit
Thank you for uploading File:Caravan Magazine India, September 1944 Cover.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
