License tagging for File:Ily Santhai1.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Ily Santhai1.jpg. 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 the "Edit" tab at the top of the 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) 16:05, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

global block — Wrongly I have edited some material which was protected. This is a inadvertent mistake, which I will not repeat. Kindly unblock my user id. Thanks. Akbeer (talk) 10:41 pm, 12 January 2011, last Wednesday (5 days ago) (UTC+8)

Accept reason:

It looks like the last IP which you used is not globally blocked. However, some of the IPs on your range do appear to be open proxies and have been blocked. Let us know if you run into issues again. TNXMan 15:55, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I can't find an active block on your account. Could you do me a favor and post the exact error message you get when you attempt to edit? If you're blocked because of your IP address, that message will give me a code to use in tracking down the block. Thanks! UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 15:39, 12 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

{{unblock|global block - Hello, I am giving below the text of error message when I try to edit as follows: You are currently unable to edit pages on Wikipedia. You can still read pages, but cannot edit, change, or create them. Editing from your IP address or IP address range has been disabled on all wikis by Shizhao (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given was "Open proxy". To request unblock, visit your talk page and add the text {{unblock|global block — REASON}}. Replace "REASON" with the reason for requesting unblock. Additionally, you may appeal the global block at Steward requests/Global. The block expires on 21 October 2011 at 09:13.

Kindly do the needful to enable me to edit & upload. Thanks, akbeer

Thanks. I'll ask the blocking admin to have a look. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 13:20, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Just to explain while you are waiting for Shizhao to comment - admins have no way of linking an IP address to a username - that right is only given to a select few checkusers. The fact that your editing is blocked as "Open proxy" possibly means that it not your edits that have caused the block - it's more likely to be vandals using your ISP servers (probably unprotected) as a path to remain anonymous.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:52, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have given Shizhao a reminder that this is awaiting attention. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:38, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Hon'ble Mr. Periyakaruppan.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Hon'ble Mr. Periyakaruppan.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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:Non-free content, 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 08:37, 16 January 2011 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 08:37, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Salaihanafi1.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Salaihanafi1.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 05:29, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

February 2012 edit

  Please do not continue to upload files with missing or false information on their copyright status, as you did with File:Salaihanafi1.jpg. Please note that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Images and other media must only be uploaded if they meet the conditions stated in our image use policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 05:30, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest edit

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 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.
