==Copyright violation==
Hi, 

I've noticed your work on [[Prabir Ghosh]].  You work is appreciated, but please [[WP:COPYVIO|do not copy copyrighted material]] into Wikipedia. I have unfortunately had to delete most of it - but you can still view it [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prabir_Ghosh&oldid=67147778 here], and rewrite it, and reinsert the rewritten material. 

Also, we try to follow [[WP:NPOV|NPOV]], and so the person's own website should not be the sole reference, and we should try not to support the POV of the person. Although clearly you & I agree strongly with Prabir Ghosh (are you him? or are you a relative?) we should not use POV and unverifiable phrases such as "the scourge of every guru, godman, fakir, faith-healer and fat swami." --[[User:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> 02:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

:If what I remember from Prabir Ghosh's books, Mr. Pinaki Ghosh is his son. I haven't checked the copyvio text yet, but it may be the case that he does have/can give permission, but it will require definite proof of permission from the website's owner. Anyway, I think it would be possible, with some effort, to make the article NPOV. Prabir Ghosh is quite famous with his series of books. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 14:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

::I read about him in the Sydney Morning Herald a few years ago, so I can believe he's famous. It would be good to get permission for the material, then we could modify it only for NPOV purposes, and not worry about the copyright. We still would be best to have additional 3rd party sources of information, though. 

::Pinaki, are you able to get permission according to the principles at [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]? If you need help, just ask. --[[User:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> 09:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

== Comments ==

Hi Pinaki,
Thanks for your message. Actually, Wikipedia is built with people volunteering to edit it in their spare time. There is no ''payment'' associated with it. People do it because they like to edit ... that's all. Apparently, that has been successful in creating the largest encyclopedia ever built.

Editing in wikipedia is very simple, just go ahead and edit a page by clicking the link at the top. I'm also adding a welcome message with various useful links (see below).

You might also be interested in the Bangla wikipedia ... (see http://bn.wikipedia.org , you'd need unicode fonts and Bangla rendering support to view that). 

Feel free to ask me questions on my talk page when you face problems. 

Thanks. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 18:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

== Prabir Ghosh (indian rationalist) article ==

:<tt>Hi Singkong, I am Prabir's son, Pinaki. Some of the material has been borrowed from his srai.org site, which my father Prabir Ghosh owns. What kind of permission do u need in this case?</tt>

Thanks Pinaki... sorry to take a while to get back to you. I'll look into it and try to get a specific answer. Probably we'll need an email from your father. Or possibly an email declaring you are authorised to give permission will be okay. Will try to get details soon - I just keep getting distracted. 

btw, if you know a good reference debunking [[Flowform]], a critical view is needed on that article... without imposing the skeptics' viewpoint, of course... just presenting it, with references. --[[User:Singkong2005|Singkong2005]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> 10:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

:Hi Michael, which are the specific areas or lines/sentences that you found lacking balance, or sounding like praise? That may help me to fix the places. Regards.
::The Biography section is biased: it contains nothing about the controversy he has to have stirred up, for example.  The entire style of the article is also not [[Wikipedia:NPOV|NPOV]]: it reads like he is [[inerrant]].  Considering your connection to Prabir, I suggest you read [[Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas]].  Generally, you must be very very careful when writing articles you are close to the subject of.  It encourages bias. And stop removing tags, please. [[User:Michaelbusch|Michaelbusch]] 13:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

== Hi ==

This is to inform you that I am very much interested in your Dad's work and life. His books have always been a guide to myself. From your talk page I have found that you have faced quite an amount of trobule regarding copyrights. The easiest way to tackle this is to get the permission from Mr. Prabir Ghosh himself so his works can be incorporated here. But remember anything you submit in wikipedia falls into the criterias mentioned in [[gpl]].

An image should be added in this article. Simply scan one of his photographs and upload [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload here]. But you will have to release it under [[gpl]] too.

==License tagging for Image:Unishkuri.jpg==
Thanks for uploading [[:Image:Unishkuri.jpg]].  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 [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image tag]] applied to the [[Wikipedia:Image description page|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:
*[[Wikipedia:Image use policy]]
*[[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]]

This is an automated notice by [[User:OrphanBot|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]]. 10:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

== Unishkuri image ==

I saw the image u uploaded in the topic unish-kuri. You didnot licenced it under [[gpl]]. Upload a new version of the file [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Unishkuri.jpg here] and submit the licence. Otherwise it will soon be deleted. 
 
I have arranged the books written by your dad in a table. Besides I added the cleanup tag in the article. Please don't get angry. I am sure you will soon feel that there are many enhancemets yet to be done for this article.

== Re Prabir Ghosh article==
:Hi Michael, Pinaki here. I visited your site yesterday. U seem to have an interesting subject to study...asteroids! In fact I am currently writing a novel, where there is a scene at the climax, where hundreds of meteors shower. Can u help me, letting me know whether meteorites & asteroids are the same thing? Is it possible for hundreds of meteors to shower? (I had myself in 1998 seen hundreds of meteros showering). What is the scientific cause of this phenomenon? On the other issue...I noticed that u did some editing with my father's article...[[Prabir Ghosh]]. I believe it has been nutralized after the editing. so, does it need that tag anymore? If u think 'yes', what other changes do u suggest? I invite u to make those changes. Regards, [[User:Pinaki_ghosh|Pinaki Ghosh]]
Meteorite = piece of asteroid that hit the ground.  Meteor shower = bunch of meteorites hitting the upper atmosphere at once.  They come from comets.  This information is available in Wikipedia.  For your father's article, see [[Talk:Prabir Ghosh]], under NPOV tag.  There have been ''no'' edits to the article to neutralize it (since the addition of the tags).  I have not made edits, because if I were to do so, there would be little article left. This problem was noted by another editor as well. [[User:Michaelbusch|Michaelbusch]] 11:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks Michael for the info. I'll do rewrite the article; but currently a bit busy with my novel...maybe in a few days time.

==Hi==
Hello Pinakida! How are you? I had already seen [[Unish Kuri]], and [[Anandamela]]. One thing on [[Anandamela]]. [[Tintin]] was pulled off probably because all the Tintin comics had already been published in Anandamela by then, including Tintin in Congo. The Alpha Art was not published though. And in fact Alpha art was not a complete book. Also, the change in character of Anandamela after Unish Kuri was started may be written. It became more oriented to a lower age group, right? Regards.--[[User:Dwaipayanc|Dwaipayan]] ([[User_talk:Dwaipayanc|talk]]) 18:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

== Reply from Ragib ==

Hi Pinaki,

# The [[Almeda University]] page is about a type of organizations called [[diploma mill]]s in the USA. I think it has gained some sort of infamy in the media.

#I'm not really editing or looking after the [[Buddhadeb Bhattacharya]] article ... I merely have it on my watchlist. I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Buddhadeb_Bhattacharya&diff=115322798&oldid=115322637 reverted this] because the information added was POVish in nature, and without citations. I really don't know anything about the police incident, so I think someone with better knowledge can do that. You can ask [[User:Dwaipayanc]] to do this, as he is from Kolkata. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 01:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

The one day conference attracted 300 participants from across India and beyond dealt with issues facing wikis ([http://wikicamp.in/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page]). It was widely covered by the press, eg [[The Hindu]]( [http://www.hindu.com/2007/02/26/stories/2007022607290400.htm]), which cited the efforts of [[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] (edit count), [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] (leadership on [[:ta|Tamil Wikipedia]]) and [[User:Ganeshk|Ganeshk]] (Creation of [[User:Ganeshbot|Ganeshbot]] to create articles on Indian towns from census figures).

The entire 34 minute interview was entirely about the world of Indian subcontinent wiki-happenings, and was the first episode which was not entirely dominated by discussion of wiki-politics and wiki-bureaucracy, with the host [[User:Witty lama|Witty lama]] praising the efficiency of the project and its proliferation of [[WP:FA|featured]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Featured and good content|content]]. Rama's Arrow cited the team spirit, friendship and respect among project members in discussing its success and FA productivity, as well as discussing subcontinental wiki-conflict. Ragib talked also of his public campaign to raise awareness of the [[:bn|Bengali Wikipedia]] in his native [[Bangladesh]], which has seen a 30-fold increase in article count over the past year.

As a result of this, four Pakistani users, [[User:Siddiqui|Siddiqui]], [[User:Szhaider|Szhaider]], [[User:Nadirali|Nadirali]] and [[User:Unre4L|Unre4L]] were all banned for one year for disruption via edit-warring and confrontationalism. 
**[[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba 2]] regarding a dispute over the article of the [[Sathya Sai Baba|religious teacher]] closed in early March with four users indefinitely banned from the article.
**Currently, [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies]] is in the [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies/Evidence|evidence phase]].

* '''[[WP:IN1-T&A08|Tag & Assess 2008]]''', an assessment drive initiated by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment|assessment department]] began on [[June 7]], [[2008]] and will be running until July 2008. Many Wikipedians have started contributing to this mammoth task. This housekeeping activity will help manage articles in better way. You can also '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment/Tag_%26_Assess_2008#.28A.29_Participants|get involved]]'''!
*'''[[Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_34#Bot_Assisted_Assessment|Bot Assisted Assessment]]''' was successfully done using [[User:Bot0612|Bot0612]] in May 2008. 1744 articles (18.5%) of all India unassessed articles were marked if they had been assessed by some other project.
*'''What's Featured and Good?'''
:*Five new articles were promoted to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] status in 2008: [[Western Chalukya architecture]], [[2007 Samjhauta Express bombings]], [[Akhtar Hameed Khan]], [[Preity Zinta]], [[Kannada literature in the Vijayanagara Empire]].
:*Two new lists were given featured list status in 2008: [[List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar]], [[List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality]].
:*There is currently [[2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra|one Indian article]] as a [[WP:FAC|featured article]] [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra|nominee]]. Two more articles, ([[Bengali language]], [[Kazi Nazrul Islam]]) are undergoing [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|featured article reviews]]. You could help save these two articles by leaving your comments or assisting the involved editors.
:*Three articles are undergoing [[WP:GAN|good article nominations]]: [[Anekantavada]], [[A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada]] and [[Santosh Subramaniam]]. 
*'''[[2008 Indian Premier League|IPL was hot]]''' on Wikipedia too!!! During the tournament, the article was among the [[Wikipedia:Most_frequently_edited_articles|most frequently edited articles]]. It is currently the only Indian article in top 100, occupying 58th spot.
*Do you know of an article that is currently underrated? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment#Requesting_an_assessment|request for assessment]]'''. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.

The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

|style="color:#000"|
WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment|article quality]]. A number of the project's [[WP:FA|featured articles]] underwent [[WP:FAR|featured article reviews]] over the past year. Of these, [[Darjeeling]] and [[Flag of India]] survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, [[Gangtok]], [[Harbhajan Singh]], Darjeeling and [[Mysore]] were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as [[Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760)]], [[Marwari horse]] and [[Iravan]] were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of [[WP:GA|good articles]], however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of [[WP:FL|featured lists]] saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16.

Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced [[CAT:BLP|Biographies of Living People]] (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/DashBot Unreferenced BLPs|565]] currently. During February-April 2010, There was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=361437108&oldid=361415052 large scale disruption] of [[Kerala]] related articles by a [[Thrissur]] based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP [[BSNL]] connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of [[Malayalam]] and [[Tamil]] film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like [[Arvind Swamy]] as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010.

After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias.

Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up [[meta:Wikimedia_India|the Indian chapter of Wikimedia]] have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a [https://github.com/srikanthlogic/WikipediaDYKTweeter bot] to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to [http://twitter.com/dykindia Twitter] was created and launched by [[User:Logicwiki]].

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while [[Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India]] was saved. Meanwhile, [[Chalukya Dynasty]] appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16.

The [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Replacement_for_the_late_Article_Alert_Bot|source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available]] and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that [[WP:INAA|article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject]] will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. 

The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach/Newsletter/June 2010|previous issue]] made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011.

In October there was a heated [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=393196649&oldid=392948652 discussion] in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of [[User:Wikiality123|Wiki San Roze]]'s party symbol images by [[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

*The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by [[Tamil Virtual University]] to the [http://ta.wiktionary.org Tamil Wiktionary] was completed in October. The words were donated by the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the [[World Classical Tamil Conference 2010]] (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of [http://s23.org/wikistats/wiktionaries_html.php largest wiktionaries] and has earned it a place in the [http://www.wiktionary.org Wiktionary front page logo].

== WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest ==

Hello 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 [[WP:ASSESS|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012/Guide - Part 1|Part One of the Assessment Guide]].
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012/Guide - Part 2|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012|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.

== Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution ==

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:
:(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and 
:(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement. 

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects. 

*'''Apply at: [[:m:Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program#Apply for support|Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program#Apply for support]]'''
*'''Last date for submitting applications is 11th February 2018, 11:59 IST.'''

Hello, Pinaki ghosh. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Krishnendu Mukhopadhyay|Krishnendu Mukhopadhyay]]". 

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion.

==Image source problem with File:Captain India.JPG==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|Image Copyright problem|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Captain India.JPG]]'''. 

This image is a [[derivative work]], containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. 

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. 

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Pinaki_ghosh}} in your upload log]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described in [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F4|section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 11:45, 29 November 2021 (UTC)'''. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].
