Image copyright problem with Image:James.jpg[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:James.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy). The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 16:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC) Hi.Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page.First let me say I appreciate all the time you've put into editing articles on Wikipedia.And your perspective and your contributions to build an open content encyclopedia are much appreciated.I'm sure it is an unusual experience to work on a Wikipedia article about yourself.The editing and notability discussions can often seem brutal.I hope none of my criticisms of the article come across as criticisms of you, they are not intended to.I do not believe a person's worth as a Wikipedia article subject is related to their worth as a human being. You brought up a couple of points about the article so I'll try and respond to each.If there was more to your message, please leave me a brief note indicating what I missed. Just so the main thrust of my response doesn't get lost in all the detail and rationale I want to emphasize, regardless of how much you've written and how many people in Sri Lanka would know your name or recognize your face: We need independent sources who have written about you in order to build an encyclopedia article about you. 1) On the references side:Although I'm sure you're honest and the things your write about yourself are true, such publications do not always satisfy the needs of an encyclopedia.In general, for uncontroversial statements of fact that are not disputed by others, such as when or where you were born, they are normally accepted on Wikipedia, though a secondary, independent source who has found the information by examining records etc. is preferable.For other things the lack of an independent source isn't simply about relying on the rigor of the secondary source to establish the facts, it's also about establishing what is noteworthy about the subject and how to analyze or interpret that in the context of the subject's environment.If no-one else has seen fit to write about it, we have to wonder why Wikipedia readers would want to read about it?What encyclopedia value does it add if the only person to publish on it is the subject of the article?That's why the things you have written yourself are generally not considered appropriate sources for the articles.In general we need references from sources other than yourself (or those who might be expected to speak on your behalf) that confirm the content of the article and to which we can refer as the source of opinions offered in the article. 2) Suitability of the article for Wikipedia:I added a notability tag to the article rather than a deletion request in order to allow time to verify your importance as a subject.I am skeptical about the claim because the things the article talks about you having done - being a journalist, the author of an unpublished book,the author of articles on ezinearticles.com, an officer for an NGO, and the founder of an apparently non-notable organization - do not normally rise to the standard required.But I am aware that the English-language Wikipedia has some systemic bias against subjects not well covered by English-language media, so I wanted to give us all the opportunity to try and establish that notability. You say Sri Lankans would consider you important if we asked them.Wikipedia isn't equipped to survey people, and in any case that would not give us what we need to ensure we could write an encyclopedic article on you.Perhaps you could point us to evidence of your importance in Sri Lanka, such as interviews with you published in major Sri Lankan newspapers, or your appearance as a major subject of an article by a well respected writer?These do not have to be in English (though we appreciate any translations into English that are available).It is these sorts of things we require to ensure we can build an encyclopedic article, they are the mainstay of the sources from which we can build the article. You can read more about the reasoning behind this in our core policies verifiability and neutral point of view, and our reliable sources guideline talks a bit more about the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary sources and how each is best used. Finally you should read our guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest and external links.I note as well as editing your own article you have been adding links to your ezinearticles to other Wikipedia articles.these guidelines cover how to edit in these circumstances Thanks. --Siobhan Hansa 15:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems withImage:Raj 03.jpg[edit] An image that you uploaded, Image:Raj 03.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Oden 06:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
The same applies to:
Please pay attention to copyright! --Oden 08:11, 22 December 2006 (UTC) Image uploads and fair use[edit]You have recently uploaded Image:Anton Balasingham.jpg, Image:Anton Balasingham22.jpg, Image:Anton Balasingham32.jpg and Image:Anton Balasingham42.jpg which are all supposed to illustrate a section of a biographical article, Anton Balasingham. Fair use criteria #3 says: "The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible". Since the event which the images are meant to illustrate is barely mentioned in the article I have removed all four of the images. If you were to improve the article and write a section about the funeral I would suggest using Image:Anton Balasingham.jpg. Also remember that any images licensed as fair use need a detailed fair use rationale, otherwise they risk being deleted. --Oden 07:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Image:Balaannanswiss 2.jpg listed for deletion[edit]An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Balaannanswiss 2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — Oden 07:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC) --Oden 07:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Image tagging for Image:Dominic1.jpg[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Dominic1.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Regarding your edits to Anton Balasingham, I appreciate the fact that you seem to know alot on the subject of that article. I would like to remind you of the following:
I will take a closer look at the article when I get a chance. --Oden 15:02, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors. You may also be interested in reading The five pillars of Wikipedia, our Help pages, the Tutorial, the policy on citing sources, and our Manual of Style. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( Re:Anton Balasingham[edit]I don't have the time to help out - sorry. It isn't too hard to make a few paragraphs of text neutral POV, however. — Wackymacs 22:03, 26 December 2006 (UTC) Anton Balasingham[edit]I've not been involved with that article, but I'll have a look at it if I get a chance. Also, you've left a couple of messages on my user page. It is customary to leave messages on the user's talk page, you can find mine here. This will also alert the user to the fact that someone has left a message, and generally result in a quicker response. (Just make sure that the header at the top of the page says "User talk:Username" instead of "User:Username"). Seraphimblade 03:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC) reply to your comment[edit]dear Rajasingham,
Anton Balasingham[edit] Stop reverting ![edit]Dear Rajsingam, Why you keep changing the Anton Balasingham article with your WP:POV.Remember this is not your personal home page nor your personal BLOG , this is an encyclopaedia and please respect this !! you might get banned if you continue to do this.--Iwazaki 14:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC) User notice: temporary 3RR block[edit]Regarding reversions[1] made on December 28 2006 to Anton Balasingham [edit] Indo-Europeans[edit]That was not necessarily the case, see Out of India theory. Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 03:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC) Personal attacks[edit]Looks like you've being personally attacked in the talk page of Anton Balasingham couple of times. My advise to you is never to respond back in kind, never contravine any WP rules and take your time to respond properly. On your behalf I have left a request on one of the users page. We can see how far either it escalates or cooles down in the future, but at the end always stick to the rules and the wiki process will take care of the offending parties. Thanks RaveenS 18:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC) Article dispute[edit]I'm unsure why you left a note for me, I've not really been involved with this article? If you're having a content dispute with other editors, you should look to the dispute resolution process, which will put the matter before uninvolved editors, often helping to resolve the dispute. Jimbo Wales doesn't generally get involved in content disputes except in the most extreme cases, which this doesn't seem to be one of, so I doubt you'd get far there. I would also caution that accusing other editors of bad faith is not to be done lightly-unless you have some evidence that another editoris acting or intends to act in bad faith, one should always assume good faith, even during a disagreement. If the other side is genuinely acting in bad faith, that will quickly come to light on its own, and the offender will be dealt with. I echo the sentiments of RaveenS, that if you are being personally attacked, it is best not to respond in kind. Personal attacks will not be long tolerated, and if the offender does not stop, (s)he will find h(im|er)self blocked or otherwise sanctioned. Just don't respond in kind, else you may find the same come down on you. Seraphimblade 14:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Image cannot be tagged both GFDL and Public Domain. GFDL retains copyright and Public Domain releases copyright. Please correct the tagging or I will nominate the image for deletion for inconsistant tags since we have no way of knowing what you intended. -Thanks Nv8200p talk 13:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC) AFD on Rajasingahm page[edit]I voted as I felt, but if I were you I will no longer argue for or against ones own article, that somehow does not sound kosher although I cant quote the policy. But one has to always follow WP:BIO to the letter. Even if the article is deleted please dont stop contributing to Wikipedia as time goes on and you become a truely seasoned editor in the years to come, all this will look trivial at the point. We need energetic contributers like you in the future. Thanks RaveenS 16:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC) Warn[edit]I noticed that you edited someone else's comment[2]. As a rule, please refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks, --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ Walkie-talkie 11:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Copyright[edit]I would suggest locating some addition citations for this article.There's nothing wrong with providing some references that are based on the organization's press releases or writings by its managements, but to establish notability most people are going to want you to demonstrate that the organization has been covered by independent media--such as newspaper articles that talk about the group as their primary focus.Hope that helps. Tarinth 13:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC) I, for one, would not see to it that this is deleted, and if it does, I'd likely just vote "keep and clean up".Just get it cleaned up per Tarinth's commentary.In short, it's a good start.Good luck with this one. =) --Dennisthe2 16:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Image:Ananda Krishnan.jpg[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Ananda Krishnan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 01:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC) Princess Diana Institute of Peace[edit]The article is written in a good tone. I would suggest procuring additional citation though, since this article relies very heavily on the "Sri Lanka Daily News" article. The information can be verified by additional citations and placing of related links (if possible, a book or two or a journal) will be helpful. If you need help with the citations then I'll be free in a couple of days. Feel free to message me. Cheers!

I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from 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 then their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as 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:Fair use, 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 23:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 23:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply to your post[edit]Just to let you know, you may wish to consider filing a request for comment rather than posting to a bunch of talk pages. I'm certainly generally happy to provide outside opinions in a dispute, but am not really in an expert in the areas you normally edit, quite often an RFC gets comments from those who are interested and knowledgeable in that specific area. If you're unfamiliar with the process, I can certainly walk you through it. There are also other methods of dispute resolution which are often helpful. You might also consider not CC'ing Jimbo Wales-he rarely gets involved in content disputes. I did post an opinion at the page in question. Seraphimblade 10:12, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I have started the DoDoBirds on 30 December 2006 to get involved in the highly sensitive international political issues and named it as DoDoBirds on the perception how the Dodo birds were wiped out from the world by Man; if he couldn’t stop the atrocities against each other one day he also will be wiped from this world.
1. I have voted on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rajkumar Kanagasingam which is my own biography article, after I noticed the Delete vote of User Lahiru_k at 07:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC) just three hours after the AFD tag was put by User Nv8200p at 04:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC).Lahiru_k has never done any editing on my article and his rush for voting, made me to suspect the whole deletion process as a Sinister AFD Scam and prompted me through the DoDoBirds as a third party voice to high light my various activities which are documented in the off-line media sources. 2. I have voted twice on the Template deletion Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_January_6#Template:State_terrorism_in_Sri_Lanka as I have personally affcted by the state terrorism in Sri Lanka since my childhood in the war-torn Jaffna Peninsula. I apologise once again for my behaviour.Rajsingam 05:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC) Reply[edit]Failure to sign a comment is most certainly not vandalism. Just look through the page history to see who made it and tag it with the {{unsigned}} template. Removal of another person's comment, on the other hand, generally is considered to be borderline vandalism and disruptive. Seraphimblade 13:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC) Re: Talk:Rajkumar Kanagasingam[edit]Rajsingam, I don't understand what needs to be sorted out.Unless I've misunderstood the edit you're talking about, the comment is on the article's talk page not the article itself, and it's basically a note to other editors about the content they may find when researching for the article.When you ask how you can sort out the matter, what do you mean?-- Siobhan Hansa 16:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

So far no one has seconded your case and I think the case fails in number points because 2 third parties did not try to resolve the so called dispute with you and Netmonger. But by posting in everybody else’s talk pages now you have made it a public case and made Netmonger’s job easy to find the 2 people! So dont do such things in the future.
Although as far as I am concerned there is no dispute between you and Netmonger because no two third parties have been asked to resolve it. Hence no legit Rfc. Just relax and take it easy also don’t be overly concerned about the Bio article either. You cannot waste all your time in Wikipedia chasing one article, with time with your contribution to the world the article will assume a legitimacy that will not need your intervention. Who is chasing Anton Balasingham page ? we all are and your bio too will assume such legitimacy with contributions to the world that no one will question in time. Wikipedia articles are written to last 100’s of years not just few years, always remember that. Thanks RaveenS 13:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC) Crossposting to talk pages[edit]Raj, if would be so kind as to exclude me from your talk page posts, I'd be grateful.It's not that I don't care, it's more that I tend to focus my energy on other issues here. --Dennisthe2 22:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC) Thanks[edit]Hi Rajsingam!

Thanks for uploading Image:Deepti Bhatnagar22.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 09:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

BJBot (talk) 09:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Unspecified source for Image:Care35.jpg[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:Care35.jpg. 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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 20:39, 29 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 20:39, 29 February 2008 (UTC) |

Proposed deletion of Asian Legal Resource Centre[edit]
The article Asian Legal Resource Centre has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
