[ Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa isnt this a copyright issue. -- Aravind Parvatikar 10:27, 27 December 2005 (UTC) reply

I wasn't sure where to write about 'permissions' (so I had written it as a footnote along with Cariappa's Image). I asked Seetal (Admin of bharat-rakshak.com) specifically for permission which was granted willingly. So unless I get a reversal on that, this shouldn't be an issue. -- Robins 08:16, 29 December 2005 (UTC) reply

Postgres does not support bitmap indexes in any released version, contrary to your . Bitmap index scans (supported since 8.1) and on-disk bitmap indexes have very little in common. Neilc 06:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on Wealth Insight, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{ hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - Tiswas^{( t)} 17:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC) reply
