File permission problem with File:Jan Burke 1234.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Jan Burke 1234.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
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
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-en
wikimedia.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:38, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Ins brahmaputra002145.jpg
edit Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ins brahmaputra002145.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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) 13:35, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:TheWeek-20-20071202.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:TheWeek-20-20071202.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:17, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project
editHello,
My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.
I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video).
My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.
I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!
If you are interested in participating, please contact me via my email:
vgrigas@wikimedia.org
Thank you for your time!
Victor
About me: I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2005, and have a background in film, video and audio. My userpage can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Victorgrigas

| A mug of beer just for you! Beer promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a mug of beer, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Enjoy!
Spread the goodness of beer by adding {{subst:Beer}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message! |

Disambiguation link notification
editHi. When you recently edited Dennis Ketcham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dennis the Menace (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Suggestion
editHi, i am archiving all the active links on Mangalore, as online links are susceptible to link rotting. There are already 20 dead links in the article. Even though you rarely contribute nowadays, you are still the only active contributor to the article apart from myself. So in case you wish to add any info to the article in the future, please remember to archive the reference you wish to add as well. It's very simple!
Best regards, Joyson Prabhu Holla at me! 17:06, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- We have to fix the following issues:
- Underlinking
- Dead links — Fix alternative substitutes to replace the current ones.
If these aren't fixed soon enough, then the article will definitely fail the next FA review and lose its current status. I will take care of the archiving and underlinking issues. I would appreciate it if you would assist in finding alternatives for the dead links. I will scout for them as well but on my own it's a tiresome task. Your assistance will help relieve some of my burden. Joyson Prabhu Holla at me! 10:13, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification
editHi. When you recently edited Canada Post millennium stamps, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sir Charles Saunders (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
