File permission problem with File:Logo of JGEC.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of JGEC.jpg. 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 {{OTRS 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 on 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. Stefan2 (talk) 22:00, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


Dear Stefan2, I have read the Wikipedia image policy. The above mentioned page is of my college, and I am very confident that the uploaded image/logo is the sole property of jalpaiguri government engineering college. Since, this is the official wiki page of the college, I am very confident that the college would not have any problem using it here. Regarding the copyright issue: the image does not have any formal highlighted copyright of the logo on its website. As a student it is very tough to gain a permission from the authority, and surely the college authority will never interfere in its use in Wikipedia, wherein it has been allowing various sites to use its logo as a fair use image. Thanking you for the concern. Suman chowdhury 22 (talk) 16:05, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Jgecproudlogo - Copyshort.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Jgecproudlogo - Copyshort.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:05, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reader.

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016

[edit]

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Biz2credit moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Biz2credit, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 14:22, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Larger Pacific striped octopus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Columbia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello, I'm FlightTime. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Michio Kaku. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please, only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created.

A7

[edit]

Please note that CSD criteria A7 does not concern itself with notabilitly but rather with whether the subject is plausibly significant. Any elected representative of a state or national legislature is going to be significant. In fact, they are also considered to be inherently notable, so even if you had not mentioned the notability thing when you nominated C. Anbarasan, it should not have been deleted. It will be restored, I am sure. - Sitush (talk) 18:27, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

October GOCE blitz

[edit]

Hi Suman chowdhury 22! Thanks for your interest in copy editing! I have a few notes about the October copy-editing blitz:

First, we generally only claim one article to copy edit at a time. That's fair to the other editors participating in the blitz. Copy editing requires focus and attention to detail, so it isn't really advisable to work on multiple copy edits at the same time.

I also feel that I should mention that many of the articles on the Requests page have been nominated for good or featured article status and have high expectations for the quality of their prose. You might want to stick to stub, start and C-class articles until you get a little more experience copy editing to Wikipedia's style guidelines.

  • Gabriel Báthory – you did make some good changes to the article, but it is anticipated to be a good article nominee (GAN) and requires a more-thorough copy edit.
  • Nemanja Todorović Štiplija – this request didn't mention any review process, but I feel it could also use a little more attention.
  • Malaspina family – this article has some issues and I'd recommend a more-experienced editor to handle it.
  • Deep Space Homer – this article is a featured article candidate after failing twice, and needs an expert copy editor.
  • Talvar (film) and Battle of Sufiyan are aiming for GAN.

You may instead want to look at the blitz article list of tagged articles, which tend to be of lower quality and are a good place for most editors to start and gain experience with copy editing.

You may also find it useful to look at the files linked at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/How_to, which includes a lot of useful information for writing and copy editing at Wikipedia.

I hope this is of some help. Please let me know if you have any questions. – Reidgreg (talk) 21:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

This is my first Blitz, so honestly, I was quite confused regarding the regulations. Though this should not be the excuse for my carelessness. I am really thankful to you Reidgreg, for your guidance. To be honest, I found the article Malaspina family to be quite awkward for my level of understanding. Regarding Nemanja Todorović Štiplija, VuXman wrote- "Can you please copy edit this article. He is one of the famous social activist of Serbia." on 12 October 2018. Could you kindly tell me if the article will be accepted as a valid entry? Also, please tell me if I should keep working on Gabriel Báthory? ---Suman chowdhury 22 (talk) 06:41, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
It's not a problem. It's my job to keep an eye open and guide new participants to the GOCE. I would honestly hesitate to copy edit Malaspina family. I've worked on smaller articles about surnames, but as articles get longer the complications can increase exponentially. That's another reason why it's probably better to start with smaller lower-rated articles.
All of those articles above are valid for this blitz (they are among the "target" or "theme" articles for the blitz). What I meant with Nemanja Todorović Štiplija is that the requester didn't state a purpose. i.e., the article is not specifically up for good or featured article review, did you know, etc. So it might only need a C- or B-class copy edit. Nonetheless, I felt that the article could use a little more work in its copy edit.
I would advise doing more work on Nemanja Todorović Štiplija. Gabriel Báthory also needs more work (in my opinion), but I feel it's better for you to keep working on the lower-class copy edit. After you go through that article again, feel free to request a review of your copy edit (from me or on the blitz talk page) and one of the coordinators can give you some specific feedback. – Reidgreg (talk) 16:07, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi Reidgreg, I have a doubt and I hope you can help me out. Should we remove the copyedit tag before editing the target article or after fully completing the work? Because, if I don't remove the tag before then there is a possibility that the article will be edited by some other editor. Suman chowdhury 22 (talk) 16:39, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
You're right, you should remove the {{copy edit}} tag when you begin copy editing to avoid edit conflicts. Alternatively to removing it, I will often comment it out like this: <!--{{copy edit|date=October 2018}}-->. But be careful to also list it on your articles on the GOCE Blitz page as {{working}} at the same time. That way, just in case you get busy and can't finish it, one of the co-ordinators will see the working line and know to follow-up. You can similarly use the {{working}} template for articles on the Requests page. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2018 (UTC) Oh, the above is meant to avoid edit conflicts with other copy editors. To avoid edit conflicts in general, you could also place {{GOCE in use}} at the top of the article. That way regular editors will see you're working on it. I usually don't bother with that because backlogged articles tend to be low-activity, and Requests are usually made after a major update so editing activity also tends to be low. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:09, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

More notes

[edit]

Thanks for the barnstar! I will try to give you some specific feedback on your copy edits from last week. Please take this in at your leisure. You can also check the diffs on the articles for my minor changes (some of the changes I make are cleanup and I wouldn't expect you to do them as part of a copy edit).

Jabalpur: I think you did a good job on this one. I'm just going to mention a few little things.

  • I like where you tightened up a lot of occurrences of reigns like (reigned 915 to 945)(r. 915–945). But in the same way that we should expand acronyms on first use, ideally we should also try to make sure the reader knows what the r. means. I usually use this template: {{abbr|r.|reigned}} which produces r.. If you hover your mouse cursor over the dotted underline, a little box should appear showing a note with the expanded word. You can do the same thing with c. and other abbreviations, particularly where the abbreviation is a single letter and may confuse some readers. Like acronym expansions, this is only needed for the first occurrence in the article.
  • who was the Prime Minister to Rani Durgavati The MOS does not recommend capitalizing job titles unless they are directly attached to the person's name (MOS:JOBTITLE).
  • Given that the article is written for a world audience, I'm not sure it's good to pipe Indian National Congress as Congress, particularly on its first mention in the article. So I put that first mention in full. Later mentions in the paragraph I left as Congress (which the reader can assume through ellipsis) though it could also use the acronym INC.
  • Pick either SI metric or imperial units for an article and stick with that as the primary measurement system throughout. (For articles about India, metric is generally preferred.)

Bhanpura: You did a good job making some of the long sections more concise. A few notes:

  • Hyphens are used for conjunction (association) while dashes are used for disjunction (separation). So with numeric ranges, a dash is used: 4th-5th century4th–5th century. The exception is when the range is preceded with from which requires to as a separator. (MOS:NUMRANGE)
  • It's okay to use local units and numbering systems in an article, but for an international readership we should try to also give systems more broadly used in English-speaking countries. So 2 to 5 lakh years old2 to 5 lakh (200,000–500,000) years old. A lot of people are unfamiliar with lakh and crore.
  • You don't have to have "year" in the year 1992 or the age of 35 years when the reader can assume this from context. 1992 and the age of 35 is fine.
  • Since the Demographics section gives figures for a specific date in the past (when the census was taken), past tense should be used for all the figures which are not be expected to be current.
  • An earlier editor used depicted a lot where they should have used displayed or similar. A subject is depicted in an artwork which is on display in the museum.
  • This is extra work I did: When numbers and units were given, I put them in a {{convert}} template to show both SI metric and imperial units. Convert is a very useful and versatile template, but it takes a bit to learn all of its syntax. (Follow the link for documentation.)

Secunderabad: You made some good improvements to this one. It needs some updating and possibly has some promotional content (unsourced "popular neighbourhoods") so I wouldn't expect going too far with a copy edit while those issues persist.

  • When there's a string of adjectives before a noun, we generally hyphenate these compound modifiers for clarity, so "fifth-largest metropolis in India", "present-day Hyderabad", "medium-distance transport", "government-owned services". Exceptions are with adjectives ending in -ly, proper nouns, and if there are other clarity issues.

Nemanja Todorović Štiplija: Good work – you're a quick learner!

  • Although with short articles it may seem repetitive to repeat information from the lead in the next section, the body of the article should make sense even if a reader skipped the lead. So we begin with the subject's name instead of "He". His common name is alright, typically first and last names.
  • MOS:SURNAME says to refer to the subject by their surname after first mention, but here I'm not sure if his proper surname is Todorović or Štiplija. I've left a note on the requester's talk page.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions, and thanks for your patience and work on the blitz! Barstars should be out shortly. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:50, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. If you don't drop the accusations of vandalism then you'll risk losing your rollbacker rights. R2 (bleep) 08:16, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi R2, I haven't engaged in an edit war till date. Moreover, I declared the reason why I reverted your edit in the article's talk page. And, just to be clear, neither do I have anything to gain, nor to lose. India | | স₰UMAN চ₢HOWDHURY Talk? 08:31, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Not an edit war? Please explain. R2 (bleep) 09:00, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Also - your repeated use of rollback on me is a blatant abuse of privilege. If you do it one more time, then I will request that your rollbacker rights be revoked. I suggest the next time you revert me you do it the normal way: click undo and leave an edit summary. R2 (bleep) 09:05, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Just a note from an outside observer, the actual WP:ROLLBACK feature is not being used here, rather the WP:TWINKLE script is being used that has a feature that is called "Rollback" but is really just a fancy Undo link. There is an edit-war happening, but both of you are discussing this on the article talk page which is very much a good thing. R2, the ideal editing cycle is called WP:BRD, meaning you Boldly make a change, but it gets Reverted by someone, so you start Discussing the change. Suman chowdury 22, it's not helpful to keep reverted without an edit summary and Twinkle will prompt you for the edit summary. Even if you have a talk page discussion, the edit summary is helpful and can help reduce drama / stress. Thanks. Ravensfire (talk) 16:14, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Issue with your signature

[edit]

Please see WP:SIGIMAGE: Images of any kind must not be used in signatures... Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 07:16, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim1138, I don't know how to react on these petty issues, given the fact that you are a very senior and decorated Editor. I admire decorated Editors quite a lot, basically because I do not think that I can get there. But seriously, with due respect, are you jealous of my beautiful signature? :P Jokes apart, I have used an image and a Flagicon in my signature. Just removing the image will solve the problem right? Because, Flagicons are not banned.

Until now, I was very proud of my signature, and after your comment I have come to realize why people say, "Wikipedia is not a place for happy people." Maybe this is why extremely gifted users like User:Phaedriel left this place, the place that they loved the most. Anyways, please warn the following users too, for using images, User:Athaenara/Gallery#Flying_the_flags. And, as for my part, I will follow what you commanded, simply because I don't want to get "Blocked/banned" from the place that I love the most. Using my beautiful sign for the last time -India | | স₰UMAN চ₢HOWDHURY Talk? 08:42, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

It's not my command nor my policy. Images on signatures have been shown to be problematic. If it were otherwise, the policy wouldn't be there and I would be all for any reasonable images in signatures. Your signature is quite nice and I do admire your creativity there. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:49, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
Jim1138, I can at least keep the Flagicon, right??? It comes with MediaWiki and they are icons, not images. Please give me a good news...And I have already removed the image. -India | স₰UMAN চ₢HOWDHURY Talk? 09:08, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
I suspect the flag is considered an image. My apology. Jim1138 (talk) 09:12, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
