NowCommons: File:Rajbahavan3.jpg

[edit]

File:Rajbahavan3.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Rajbahavan.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Rajbahavan.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 18:41, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Recalcitrance

[edit]

Article Recalcitrance have been nominated for deletion. It is an article which is about the experiences of Indians during the 1857 mutiny against British rule, by an author whose ancestors witnessed it. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for deletion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Recalcitrance (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.

Orphaned non-free image File:Stranger.gif

[edit]
⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Stranger.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. JaGatalk 13:48, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello Dwaipayanc! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 613 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Hi there! I certainly did - not as much as Lage Raho perhaps but it was certainly a well-conceived film. Taare Zameen Par is my favorite Aamir Khan film, but I think 3 Idiots is certainly right after that - I thought he was wonderful as Rancho.

Hey, I've beat you - I've seen it 4 times! And I suspect that there will be a 5th :-) It's such a funny film that I laugh each time. -Classicfilms (talk) 14:46, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DarjeelingGorkhaRally.jpg

[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:DarjeelingGorkhaRally.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
