Compromise edit

I'm sorry if at all you feel harrassed by this, but my only intention was to ensure that a high standard is maintained by the article. If you click on the State of Khayrpur article and then click the History tab at the top you should be able to see that I started that article but that doesn't mean it is my article. I have worked towards promoting all of the former princly states of Pakistan because they are worthy of at least an article each. What I propose is that you should close down the Khairpur State article and use the discussion page on Talk:State of Khayrpur to put forward your ideas and I will help you organise them so that they do not break Wikipedia rules. Believe me, I completely understand the point of view of the Khairpur Sindh website but on Wikipedia we have to avoid some of the language the website uses. By the way you're not that computer illiterate if you are able to use a computer :P Green Giant 13:32, 25 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just so you know, the article was redirected by admins so if anyone types in Khairpur State it will take them straight to State of Khayrpur. I have copied your edition to a new page here - User:Green_Giant/sandbox/Khairpur_State where it can be edited and moved towards wikipedia standards gradually. I hope you will help because with some editing much of the material could be included in the history section of State of Khayrpur. Green Giant 01:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Arsalan, you are the inexplicable Homer Simpson of Khairpur :P - I didn't start the State of Khayrpur page for the fun of it, but because I was interested in highlighting the existence of the state and it's companions like Bahawalpur etc. If all you wanted was attention on the history, you could have just pointed out the website instead of expending efforts on a separate page. The green in my name refers to agriculture and nature and not the green of Pakistan's flag. Green Giant 23:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:Budget Speech-a.JPG edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Budget Speech-a.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: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information 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. --Hetar 18:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Pak-on-14th-August.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Pak-on-14th-August.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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 image tag applied to the 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:

This is an automated notice by 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. 22:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Budget-speech.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Budget-speech.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 17:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:Pak-Khairpur_Flags.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading Image:Pak-Khairpur_Flags.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 03:04, 8 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 03:04, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for uploading Image:MirSohrab.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Fort-Repair1,2a.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Notification of automated file description generation edit

Your upload of File:AllamahRasheed1.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Better source request for File:Mir Ali Murad2.JPG edit

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:12, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Mir Ali Murad2.JPG edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Mir Ali Murad2.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Proposed deletion of File:Mir Ali-Murad 1 Rupee Coin.jpg edit

 

The file File:Mir Ali-Murad 1 Rupee Coin.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
