Orphaned non-free media (Image:Francisofassisi.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Francisofassisi.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. BJBot (talk) 05:09, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Gandhi in World War I

Hi Nirvana2013. I like the overall addition of this section to the article but we need to be careful about what we say there. The Charlie Andrews criticism, for example, stands out for several reasons. First, Andrews was writing after the war and so the 'at that time' is not accurate. Second, Andrews says he could not reconcile this act with other acts of Gandhi. This does not necessarily imply that he was critical of Gandhi regarding the recruitment. Third, Andrews is just one person and is not a scholar on Gandhi. My feeling is that this must be the subject of comment by Gandhi scholars and summarizing the way they perceived the recruitment is likely a better way to go (Desai, for example, says The question of the consistency between his creed of 'Ahimsa' (non-violence) and his recruiting campaign was raised not only then but has been discussed ever since so there must be scholarly material on this). (Also, the contrast with the Boer War is not made by the source, at least I couldn't find it, and the source is primary, so you might want to remove that.)

As a final matter, do you want to take this article back to Featured status? I can help if you're willing to take the lead. I think it is fairly close but needs leg work. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 12:07, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:46664 concert.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:46664 concert.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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.

christian anarchism / free society

Hi Nirvana2013. You recently added the "christian anarchism" category to Free Society. In general, categories should not be added to articles unless they are defining attributes of the subject of the article, and as such they should feature prominently in the article itself. See WP:CAT. The article on Free Society doesn't mention Christian anarchism at all, which is because I largely drafted the article and am unaware of any such leanings. Do you have some cites to justify the category, and to write some information about it in the article? Otherwise, we should remove the category until and unless the article can be revise to justify its inclusion. I've posted about this on Talk:Free Society, so please respond there. --Lquilter (talk) 18:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Reply from my talk page. Thought it was odd looking. Perhaps if you want the redirect to stay, you should remove that content and post that you would like to keep the redirect to that other article. Perhaps explain in the talk page as well. It's not on speedy delete so you have tons of time. Sounds reasonable to me. Cheers, Veriss (talk) 09:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Fruitarianism are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic.

The "Over" in this film is properly capitalized. See, e.g., IMDb, official site, etc., etc. See also, e.g., One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (various book, film, play, etc.).

Comment de chrétien je suis devenu anarchiste

You seem to have used this title to add a number of pages to the Christian Anarchist category. As far as I can tell the title has the sense of "How I went from being a Christian to being an Anarchist," which is rather different from the translation you are using.

Subtle distinctions about taxes

Unless I am reading the history wrong, it looks as though you are the one who took out some technical distinctions at Corvée and put in some over-general assertions instead. I have tried to replace them while respecting your own contribution as much as possible, but I thought I should clarify my version too, to let you know how and why I did what I did.

You can't "pay" a tax in kind; that's a matter of definition, tautologously true. If you win a prize, say a thousand tins of dog food, you may get assessed income tax on it - but you won't get away with offering 30% of the tins, or with arguing that you don't owe cash since you didn't win cash. You will be assessed "deemed" cash earnings, and have to pay in cash - and tough if you haven't got the cash flow to do it.

So, payments in kind aren't - technically, formally - taxes. Tithes are also not taxes since they are not owed to governments. You might think these are quibbles, but on the one hand these distinctions matter in articles that cover technical matters, and on the other hand they keep coming up and making a difference even in the modern world (a farm at Aston Cantlow was assessed in that way to pay a church, and the case confirmed that this was not a tax).

So, what about Corvée? It's not a tax, in the precise sense, though it is closely connected, and that connection should be noted. But it is not an obligation to pay cash, and it is most definitely not something that is always imposed by states. You can get them owed to others - like feudal lords - and you can "pay" them by working them off (in fact, sometimes you can't pay them off in cash, as that commutation option may not be on offer). PMLawrence (talk) 09:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Further to your comments on my talk page, I also take your own point. However, the "is it a tax?" question should really speak for itself, the court case(s) I mentioned really did confirm that dues to a church are not taxes, and the Madagascar material I put in the Corvée article some time ago really did make the distinction between labour obligations and tax obligations as seen from a colonialist perspective - and I did provide that reference when someone challenged about that on that occasion. So, just how is my position not backed by citations? We can't repeat citations in detail at every level of summary. I see that the Aston Cantlow article doesn't bring out the glebe law case at the moment, but now that I have told you about it you can research it and word any citation to suit yourself.

By the way, thank you for not just jumping in and reverting automatically, the way I have seen some people approach things. PMLawrence (talk) 22:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Heidemarie Schwermer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Heidemarie Schwermer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
