Welcome!

Hello, Geography101, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that you have an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that:

• Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• Most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• Freely-licensed images may be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images, from where they can be used on Wikipedia and many other wikis?
• We recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 04:11, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. — Abhishek  ^Talk 13:55, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Kolkata image additions

Thanks for your additions of the images to Kolkata, some are really good I must accept. However, it being a Featured Article we need to maintain certain standards and quality. If you wish to add any image, it need to be discussed at Talk:Kolkata first, then after receiving consensus we may consider such additions. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 15:55, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Alt image text

Thanks for adding the images to Kolkata, however I have changed the alt text for the image. ALT text is generally used to help visually challenged readers, so they can know the content of the image. Please go through Wikipedia:Alternative text for images, if you have not already. Regards. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 03:40, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Kolkata image additions

Hi!! Hope you are doing well. I have reverted some of your image additions to Kolkata due to probable copyright issues. Kindly see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kolkata_Imgs.jpg to know how to attribute copyright in case of an image compilation. Again a request, please discuss before image additions. We will be more than happy to add beautiful images. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 11:02, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Proposed deletion of Bengal Tennis Association Stadium

The article Bengal Tennis Association Stadium has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I don't see this topic as being notable. The tennis stadium for a Challenger level event?

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

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

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