2015 Nepal earthquake edit

Just so you know, edits such as this, changing the section headings from Sentence case to 'CamelCase' are not per the WP:Manual of style (WP:MOS). You should revert it back. 220 of Borg 11:22, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

April 2015 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to 2015 Nepal earthquake, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Edits like this, adding 701 bytes, are not 'minor'. 220 of Borg 11:28, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

is this how i'm supposed to respond to you? i've never used "talk" before... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajaram101 (talkcontribs) 11:32, 27 April 2015‎
Almost, editors usually Indent their replies as I have, and signing your reply by putting four tildes ~ at the end like this ~~~~, (or with the   'button' on the tool bar above the editing window) is something you'll need to do too. See signing for more info. 220 of Borg 12:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

do you mean like this? Rajaram101 (talk) 14:18, 27 April 2015 (UTC)rajaram101Reply

Yes, but you didn't indent, and "rajaram101"at the end is not needed. just type ~~~~ and it is changed into your signature. 220 of Borg 18:58, 28 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:2015 Nepal Earthquake Estimated Casualties & List of first 19 Aftershocks.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:2015 Nepal Earthquake Estimated Casualties & List of first 19 Aftershocks.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. Thank you. Rmhermen (talk) 11:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

how would i correct this? also, regarding the specific image...i couldn't find any copyright information. i'd like to know how i can do this in the future without having any issues/problems like this. could you help me out? Rajaram101 (talk) 14:12, 27 April 2015 (UTC)rajaram101Reply

Disambiguation link notification for April 29 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Humanitarian response to the 2015 Nepal earthquake, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page USAR. 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.

Thanks for uploading File:2015 Nepal Earthquake Estimated Casualties & List of first 19 Aftershocks.jpg. 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 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).
