A discussion is taking place as to whether the article
India Programme XII on Diabetes Research is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to
Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be
deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/India Programme XII on Diabetes Research until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Psychonaut ( talk) 13:34, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello Vivek Rai. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Societal security, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: there is content here - I doubt if it passes WP:NEO, but it is not an A3|A3. Consider PROD or AfD. Thank you. JohnCD ( talk) 11:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
I appreciate your work wikifying Woodland Indian and Whistling Swans. Thank you! -- Jgmikulay ( talk) 13:44, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Please stop adding
unsourced content, as you did to
Central Institute for Cotton Research. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on
verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be
blocked from editing Wikipedia. Vivek - You have been warned numerous times about appropriate sourcing, and seem to be ignoring those warnings. Please do not add content to article mainspace that does not have significant reliable source coverage to establish notability. Details

Please note that the speedy deletion criterion WP:CSD#A7 can be used only on an article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization or web content, so cannot apply to affordability of housing in Canada. Phil Bridger ( talk) 08:03, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello Vivek Rai. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Paula Teixeira da Cruz, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: a government minister certainly passes the low bar of A7, and in fact per WP:POLITICIAN is notable. Thank you. JohnCD ( talk) 12:21, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
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 Greycaps India Private Limited requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Basalisk inspect damage⁄ berate 14:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Vivek, please stop recreating this article unless you can source significant reliable source coverage establishing the notability for a separate article on the topic. For now, it appears best to just add a few sentences about the institute (if you can find proper sources for such) to the main article at Indian Council of Agricultural Research. ConcernedVancouverite ( talk) 13:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Word of advice from a long time user of AWB. On Asami Oura and other articles, do not just add a tag, especially the orphan tag. Other editors hate that and will get you blocked from using AWB. To turn off auto-tagging, uncheck the "Auto tag" box under options. Do not make trivial changes, such as just adding an auto-tag, fixing spacing and other minor cosmetic features.
AWB has a bad reputation from past editors misusing it. Get on the bad side of an AWB hater and you can end up being banned from AWB. Treat it carefully. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks everyone for taking attention to provide me with necessary information. Apart from the tagging issue, Should I try not to fix the spaces, punctuations and other minor problems (As suggested by the first post)? I have tagged my edits as minor edit and I try my best to assume a faith that they ought not create any problems for the original contributor. VIVEK RAI : Friend? 07:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
I encourage you to keep fixing issues on pages with AWB. Just be careful with settings. AWB provides options to tag as orphan pages with zero incoming links instead of 3. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 08:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Your addition to
Central Institute for Cotton Research has been removed, as it appears to have added
copyrighted material to Wikipedia without
permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing. I have removed the copyright violations you have added to the article. You have received numerous warnings in the past about copyright violations, and I strongly encourage you to try to understand the critical nature of such actions, as they can get Wikipedia into legal trouble, which I imagine you do not want to do. Please do NOT copy text from other sources and place it into Wikipedia articles. Thank you.

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Please do not remove copyright violation notices, as you did at National Institute of Disaster Management, as this disrupts our process for identifying and reviewing potential copyright violations. If you wish to replace the article with a non-infringing version, please follow the instructions on the template, which will become visible after you follow the "[show]" link next to the text "Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material." I have reverted your changes to restore the copyright violation notice, but they remain accessible in the page history in case you want to start a new article according to the template instructions. — Psychonaut ( talk) 07:45, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Vivek, I had submitted a new article for creation and the title was "KOLOS" The initial reviewer declined the article stating coverage about the topic. So, I have added a few more authentic references, including Central Water Commission, Govt. of India. Moreover this topic was published in an International Conference (PIANC-COPEDEC 2012) and in a national conference, which I feel is a valid reference. The topic also comes in the website of Navayuga Engineering, who are the creators of KOLOS.
I am comparitively new to Wikipedia in terms of article creation. So please help me in improving the article to make it worthy of publishing in wiki.

Vivek...regarding the newly created article 'Carbon shift (book) which I understand you worked on getting accepted, I need help with a couple of things. The title needs adjustment. 'Shift' should be capitalized. How does one go about that? Secondly, regarding the comment that the article should be divided into sections, it is, and the sections follow the outline in the book: the contributors, the content, the book's reception. There are not really other sections I can think of. What did you have in mind when you made that comment? Also, about the rating, could you suggest major improvements? As a newcomer, I want to get on the right path. Thanks for your help.

Please don't nominate Paula Teixeira da Cruz for speedy deletion again. In fact, please don't even take the article to WP:AFD. The sources indicate that the subject is the Minister of Justice of Portugal, which means she is presumed to be notable under WP:POLITICIAN. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Vivek
refer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Seth_Mokitimi
re your comments:
For a historical person it is very difficult to find sources. I could have put in five or six apparently different sources, but they would actually have pointed back to the two articles which I did reference. I preferred to be straightforward and honest. I have added one more, a print book.
I will add further sources as and when I locate them. I expect to have access to Gqubule's book (which is currently out of print and not available even from Alibris.com) next year, at a Seminary library.
You say the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone, and not NPOV. I do not agree. Please show me where this applies. If the article uses non-NPOV language (eg "overwhelming enthusiasm") it is because I am quoting the source, it is not my language. This particular example reflects how Mokitimi was regarded by the 2007 conference delegates, as reported by Richardson and Kumalo. For another, if Seth Mokitmi is called "a hero", it is Nelson Mandela who says so, not me.
I hope to hear from you soon. David_FLXD (Talk) 06:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I guess from you comment that you're quite furious with my contribution to the article. If it is the case, I shall remind you that Wikipedia is not a someone's personal thing and everyone is open to editing and contribution in a positive way.

Please be more careful in reviewing AfC submissions in the future. You sent live an article that has a long history of problems, including using non-reliable sources, lack of sourced notability, and a history of having been deleted via AfD while containing substantially the same content as it does today. I notice that you moved it to a title other than "Ken Sibanda", presumably because Ken Sibanda is admin-protected, for exactly the reason that the article has been repeatedly recreated in a disruptive manner and the AfC content wasn't ready for mainspace. In the future, please take the time to check sources and article history before sending an AfC live. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! ( talk) 14:15, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Vivek Rai. Just letting you know that this article did not meet criteria for an A9 speedy deletion, for at least two reasons: (1) It's an album of a notable artist; (2) Multiple sources are cited. Thanks, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 13:56, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of (Suso) Jesús Fernández Sáez. This is a player who, at 17, is playing on the first team of Liverpool F.C., one of England's Premier League teams. That alone merits declining the speedy deletion. But a quick search shows that he has been the subject of a great deal of press already, and will likely continue to be for some time to come.

I've removed your speedy deletion nomination of Goodell-Pratt. The article's source is to a website which probably doesn't count as a reliable source, but that website itself contains an extensive bibliography of further sources which are indisputably reliable, and easily establish the company as being notable. I updated the article with a reference to what is probably the most important source (a journal article which discusses the company in detail). — Psychonaut ( talk) 14:23, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I have been forced to delete most of the content in Shree Jain Vidyalaya, as large parts were exact copies of text from [1], [2], [3], etc. That is really not acceptable on Wikipedia and could lead to a block if you continue to add copyright violations. You made an effort to rewrite the article at Talk:Shree Jain Vidyalaya/Temp, but that is unusable since most of it contains the copyright violations that were in the original article.

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.

Thanks for uploading File:Dibyendu Nandi.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 11:28, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)
First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).
Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 14:24, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
![]() Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 3203 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk.
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the
reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{
AFC status}} or {{
AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.
Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated
reviewing script!

The article Central Institute for Cotton Research has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Hello Vivek Rai. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Societal security, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: there is content here - I doubt if it passes WP:NEO, but it is not an A3|A3.

verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be
blocked from editing Wikipedia. Vivek - You have been warned numerous times about appropriate sourcing, and seem to be ignoring those warnings. Please do not add content to article mainspace that does not have significant reliable source coverage to establish notability. Details

Hello Vivek Rai.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
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 Greycaps India Private Limited requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Basalisk inspect damage⁄ berate 14:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Vivek, please stop recreating this article unless you can source significant reliable source coverage establishing the notability for a separate article on the topic. For now, it appears best to just add a few sentences about the institute (if you can find proper sources for such) to the main article at Indian Council of Agricultural Research. ConcernedVancouverite ( talk) 13:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Word of advice from a long time user of AWB. On Asami Oura and other articles, do not just add a tag, especially the orphan tag. Other editors hate that and will get you blocked from using AWB. To turn off auto-tagging, uncheck the "Auto tag" box under options. Do not make trivial changes, such as just adding an auto-tag, fixing spacing and other minor cosmetic features.
AWB has a bad reputation from past editors misusing it. Get on the bad side of an AWB hater and you can end up being banned from AWB. Treat it carefully. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks everyone for taking attention to provide me with necessary information. Apart from the tagging issue, Should I try not to fix the spaces, punctuations and other minor problems (As suggested by the first post)? I have tagged my edits as minor edit and I try my best to assume a faith that they ought not create any problems for the original contributor. VIVEK RAI : Friend? 07:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
I encourage you to keep fixing issues on pages with AWB. Just be careful with settings. AWB provides options to tag as orphan pages with zero incoming links instead of 3. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 08:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Moreover, editors are encouraged to fix CHECKWIKI errors anf in fact, we need more people involved on that. Magioladitis ( talk) 08:31, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing. I have removed the copyright violations you have added to the article. You have received numerous warnings in the past about copyright violations, and I strongly encourage you to try to understand the critical nature of such actions, as they can get Wikipedia into legal trouble, which I imagine you do not want to do. Please do NOT copy text from other sources and place it into Wikipedia articles. Thank you.

Please do not remove copyright violation notices, as you did at National Institute of Disaster Management, as this disrupts our process for identifying and reviewing potential copyright violations. If you wish to replace the article with a non-infringing version, please follow the instructions on the template, which will become visible after you follow the "[show]" link next to the text "Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material." I have reverted your changes to restore the copyright violation notice, but they remain accessible in the page history in case you want to start a new article according to the template instructions. — Psychonaut ( talk) 07:45, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Vivek, I had submitted a new article for creation and the title was "KOLOS" The initial reviewer declined the article stating coverage about the topic. So, I have added a few more authentic references, including Central Water Commission, Govt. of India. Moreover this topic was published in an International Conference (PIANC-COPEDEC 2012) and in a national conference, which I feel is a valid reference. The topic also comes in the website of Navayuga Engineering, who are the creators of KOLOS.
I am comparitively new to Wikipedia in terms of article creation. So please help me in improving the article to make it worthy of publishing in wiki.

Vivek...regarding the newly created article 'Carbon shift (book) which I understand you worked on getting accepted, I need help with a couple of things. The title needs adjustment. 'Shift' should be capitalized. How does one go about that? Secondly, regarding the comment that the article should be divided into sections, it is, and the sections follow the outline in the book: the contributors, the content, the book's reception. There are not really other sections I can think of. What did you have in mind when you made that comment? Also, about the rating, could you suggest major improvements? As a newcomer, I want to get on the right path. Thanks for your help.

Please don't nominate Paula Teixeira da Cruz for speedy deletion again. In fact, please don't even take the article to WP:AFD.

Hi Vivek
refer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Seth_Mokitimi
re your comments:
For a historical person it is very difficult to find sources. I could have put in five or six apparently different sources, but they would actually have pointed back to the two articles which I did reference. I preferred to be straightforward and honest. I have added one more, a print book.
I will add further sources as and when I locate them. I expect to have access to Gqubule's book (which is currently out of print and not available even from Alibris.com) next year, at a Seminary library.
You say the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone, and not NPOV. I do not agree. Please show me where this applies. If the article uses non-NPOV language (eg "overwhelming enthusiasm") it is because I am quoting the source, it is not my language. This particular example reflects how Mokitimi was regarded by the 2007 conference delegates, as reported by Richardson and Kumalo. For another, if Seth Mokitmi is called "a hero", it is Nelson Mandela who says so, not me.
I hope to hear from you soon. David_FLXD (Talk) 06:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Please be more careful in reviewing AfC submissions in the future. You sent live an article that has a long history of problems, including using non-reliable sources, lack of sourced notability, and a history of having been deleted via AfD while containing substantially the same content as it does today. I notice that you moved it to a title other than "Ken Sibanda", presumably because Ken Sibanda is admin-protected, for exactly the reason that the article has been repeatedly recreated in a disruptive manner and the AfC content wasn't ready for mainspace. In the future, please take the time to check sources and article history before sending an AfC live. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! ( talk) 14:15, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of (Suso) Jesús Fernández Sáez. This is a player who, at 17, is playing on the first team of Liverpool F.C., one of England's Premier League teams. That alone merits declining the speedy deletion. But a quick search shows that he has been the subject of a great deal of press already, and will likely continue to be for some time to come.

I've removed your speedy deletion nomination of Goodell-Pratt. The article's source is to a website which probably doesn't count as a reliable source, but that website itself contains an extensive bibliography of further sources which are indisputably reliable, and easily establish the company as being notable.

a new message at Wikipedia talk:STiki's talk page. Message added 07:36, 25 July 2012 (UTC).
DBig Xray has given you a glass of chilled Lassi with mint. Thanks for staying calm and civil! Lassi promotes WikiLove by making you cooler and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a lassi, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!
Please do not feel sad about the past, new editors are not supposed to know all of the numerous policies. do not drag your past with you, you must have already learnt whatever you were supposed to learn from past. so move on and be WP:BOLD cheers -- DBig Xray 14:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Spread the lovely, cool, sweet goodness of Lassi by adding {{ subst:Lassi}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
You created the page after review, and the editor flatternutter deleted. Please bring this to the attention of a supervisor, she keeps on deleting the page on personal and racist reasons, she insists that he is not notable. How is the first real African pioneer of science fiction not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mziboy ( talk • contribs) 06:08, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you are more than welcome to continue submitting work to Articles for Creation.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hi! I have been forced to delete most of the content in Shree Jain Vidyalaya, as large parts were exact copies of text from [1], [2], [3], etc. That is really not acceptable on Wikipedia and could lead to a block if you continue to add copyright violations. You made an effort to rewrite the article at Talk:Shree Jain Vidyalaya/Temp, but that is unusable since most of it contains the copyright violations that were in the original article. Regards, Theleftorium (talk) 10:10, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Carbon Shift (book), which you recently reviewed as part of the Articles for creation process, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The discussion is occuring here. As the reviewer, your contribution to the discussion will be helpful in reaching a consensus. NoomBot ( talk) 13:39, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:IINRG logo.png. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 23:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Dibyendu Nandi.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney ( talk) 18:04, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 11:28, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey all :). A couple of quick updates (one small, one large)
First, we're continuing to work on some ways to increase the quality of feedback and make it easier to eliminate and deal with non-useful feedback: hopefully I'll have more news for you on this soon :).
Second, we're looking at ways to increase the actual number of users patrolling and take off some of the workload from you lot. Part of this is increasing the prominence of the feedback page, which we're going to try to do with a link at the top of each article to the relevant page. This should be deployed on Tuesday (touch wood!) and we'll be closely monitoring what happens. Let me know if you have any questions or issues :).

Hey all; another newsletter.
That's all for now! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 16:08, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey all.
As promised, we've built a set of improvements to the Article Feedback Tool, which can be tested through the links here. Please do take the opportunity to play around with it, let me know of any bugs, and see what you think :).

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:AN Khosla picture.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 18:34, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello there. Long overdue, but your editor review request has been reviewed and archived. Cheers! Alex Shih Talk 01:33, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
The article Central Institute for Cotton Research has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
