Fair use rationale for Image:KSCA logo.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:KSCA logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Naveen,
Any plans of making a DYK out of this new article? -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 10:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I could get one :He is regarded as the father of the modern Kannada dictionary
One more: Braille Transcription Centre, a wing of Canara Bank Relief and Welfare Society, is releasing the Braille version of Prof G Venkatasubbaiah’s ‘Kannada to Kannada dictionary,’ to mark the completion of 14 years of the centre.
Some more inputs on him are here -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 10:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Since today was possibly the last day within which the article could be nominated for DYK, I have gone ahead and made the necessary additions and nominated the article for DYK. Please cp-edit the article if you have time... -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 11:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Naveen, the Basadi image above (Savira Kambadi Basadi) is perhaps from Moodabidri?. Nice image. Just give it correct license. BTW, please see if you can complete the Hoysala monuments map. Also, Can you find me a good image of Basavanna, Akka Mahadevi and Kanaka dasa. Since you are in Blore, It would be easier for you. a quick trip to a Madhva matha can yield images of Some Dasas too.

Replaceable fair use Image:Rani-Chennamma.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Rani-Chennamma.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —teb728 t c 21:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

New heading 'Historical reference' added to Belgaum Border Dispute.

edit

Plz check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgaum_border_dispute#Historical_Reference . I have added new info which should change the way this dispute has been seen till now and tilt the balance in Karnataka's favour. It is obvious that it might face war-editing from certain sections. I request you all to follow the page and ensure the truth prevails.

Wikipedians from Karnataka

edit

Hi, I'm trying to put together a list of Wikipedians from Karnataka. I'm also trying to gather together the contacts. The idea is to build a network of Wiki enthusiasts, contributors from the region that could help sync off-line Wiki activity, bring together people who can work together in effectively reaching out to the public in the region on using Wikipedia and related open content projects. Can you help by sending your contact and also by referring editors from Karnataka you've come across on Wikipedia? Thank you, --H P Nadig \Talk \Contributions 19:41, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:G Venkatasubbaiah.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:G Venkatasubbaiah.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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:41, 20 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Notification of automated file description generation

edit

Your upload of File:Anekal kambada Ganapathi.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!

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:52, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Karnataka State Cricket Association.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Karnataka State Cricket Association.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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:36, 11 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
