License tagging for File:KERALASH61.svg

Thanks for uploading File:KERALASH61.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:06, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter Volume V, Issue no. 2 - November 2010

English WikiProject News

After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias.

Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up the Indian chapter of Wikimedia have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a bot to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to Twitter was created and launched by User:Logicwiki.


What's New?

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India was saved. Meanwhile, Chalukya Dynasty appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16.

The source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc.

The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the previous issue made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011.

In October there was a heated discussion in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of Wiki San Roze's party symbol images by Hammersoft as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

Complete To Do List
News from Indian-language Wikipedias
  • The Bengali Wikisource, which contains the literary works of many prominent writers of Bengali language including Rabindranath Tagore, has crossed the 5,000 pages milestone. According to List of Wikisource page, Bengali Wikisource is now at rank 21 among 56 Wikisource based on number of content pages.
The Tamil Wikipedia stall at the World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 in Coimbatore in June 2010.
  • The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by Tamil Virtual University to the Tamil Wiktionary was completed in October. The words were donated by the Government of Tamil Nadu due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of largest wiktionaries and has earned it a place in the Wiktionary front page logo. In addition, Tamil Wikipedians set up a stall at the WCTC and introduced Tamil Wiki projects to people from all walks of life.
Jimmy Wales introduces the Malayalam Wikipedia CD of 500 selected articles during his key note address at Wikimania 2010 at Gdansk.
  • The Hindi Wikipedia and its sister wiki projects migrated to the new vector interface on September 1, 2010. In addition, Hindi is the first (and so far the only) Indian language to be incorporated into the WikiBhasha translation and contribution toolkit developed by Microsoft Research.
  • Malayalam wikimedian Santhosh Thottingal has developed a software (Wiki2CD) for the creation of the Malayalam Wikipedia CD, which was launched in 2010. In addition, Santosh, along with fellow Malayalam wikimedian Shiju Alex coordinated a panel discussion at Wikimania 2010 on creation of offline Wiki content.

Re: SVG translate

Hey. Just to check, this is what happened:

  • You were presented with the main options screen okay
  • You entered translations in Hindi into it
  • You selected the "manual upload" option
  • You pressed Go!
  • You got an error message?

Is that correct? I'm just trying to work out what the problem is, because the program should support non-Latin scripts. Regards, - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 09:44, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, then that's a problem with Notepad. I've just checked, and SVG translate seems to be properly encoding the files, but Notepad doesn't realise it's not a standard Windows ANSI-encoded file. Try using another text editor; Wordpad might handle it correct (not sure) or the alternative Notepad++ which I can confirm works. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 17:46, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh, right. Weird. Can you send me the file? My email is my username @gmail.com. Thanks, - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 12:22, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Okay, the issue is with some weird characters at the beginning of the file. I'm going to try to trace the problem, and let you know. It's a busy time for me but I realise it must be bugging you so I'll try to find the time ASAP :) Regards, - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 19:03, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I've stripped the offending BOM. The problem is now that some editors will realise it's unicode, but others won't. Still Inkscape works, at least. Not sure there's much else I can do right now. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 16:54, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Railway Electrification, New Jalpaiguri

Hello Naveenpf. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Railway Electrification, New Jalpaiguri to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 03:45, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Regarding deletion notice of article "Railway Electrification, New Jalpaiguri" on wikipedia

Dear Naveen

Kindly see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Praveen_poddar received from [email protected]

Kindly note that Railway Electrification Project, New jalpaiguri is a project of national Importance of Government of India. It is meant to provide Electric Traction on strategic Katihar - Guwahati Railway Route. Please refer GOI website http://www.core.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,294,381,383,477

I tried to wikify the article but could not do so on account of lack of experience/expertise in this area. Kindly wikify it, if possible.

Regards

List of Railway Stations in India

Hi Naveenpf, thanks for the invites and once again thanks for the award. Please have a look at the article List of railway stations in India. There are some links to "photos" of the stations on a private website which clearly states that copyrights of the photographs belong to the original owners. Should wikipedia have links to such copyrighted images? Or should these links be removed? Please clarify. --Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 13:21, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

I have removed some of the links. Some more remain. But WP:Copyrights says that linking to non-free content(copyrighted content) is allowed and I can't find any policy which says that the links aren't allowed. I'll stop further work on the article until it can be ascertained whether the links are allowed or not. --Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 16:48, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian roads/Article for the Week

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian roads/Article for the Week, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Not required not activity

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. naveenpf (talk) 04:44, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
