WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

[edit]

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

July 2016

[edit]

Information icon Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Gundugutti Manjanathayya. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]], instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recetly added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution

[edit]

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

There is a huge backlog at the NewPagesFeed and more editors with experience and knowledge of Indian subjects are urgently needed to patrol the pages. If you are already a New Page Reviewer, please help out as much as you can. If you are not, please check out WP:NPP, then take a look at the requirements at WP:NPR and if you feel up to it, apply for the New Page Reviewer right at WP:PERM.
  • Kalapani territory has been a subject of edit warring by multiple editors. Kalapani is a disputed area between Nepal and India. The page was fully protected from 10 to 17 November. You're welcomed to patrol the page and keep your eyes on the new editors. Makes sure to assume good faith while editing the page.
  • An editor is pushing too high Jain POV in Jainism related articles. Join the conversation about the user at the noticeboard
  • India Search Result is a bot-generated page that tracks newly created articles related to India. It is a place to look out for new page pages. The page is updated daily and make sure to add it to your watchlist.

Request reason:

I will henceforth rephrase every material I obtain from sources. I have learnt my lesson and I hope you would please unblock me. I will not do anything that will go against Wikipedia's principles. Thank you for allowing me to speak

Decline reason:

Rephrasing is not necessarily enough. In order to lift the block, we need to be certain that you understand how copyright works on Wikipedia. To allow the reviewing administrator to assess your understanding, please respond to the following questions in your next unblock appeal, explaining in your own words:

  • What is copyright?
  • How is Wikipedia licenced?
  • Why is copyrighted content not allowed on Wikipedia?
  • Under what circumstances can we use copyrighted content?
  • How do you intend to avoid violating the copyright policy in the future?

Your answers will enable us to establish whether or not you should be unblocked. Yamla (talk) 10:30, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

I have learnt my lesson and I hope you would please unblock me. I will not do anything that will go against Wikipedia's principles. In answer to the questions asked above, I am listing down my responses. Please have a look at them.

  • Copyright is the right obtained to use something original (like a picture or written material) from its creator for a certain number of years.
  • Wikipedia’s text has automatic copyrights under the Berne Convention. These texts are licensed to the public by the respective editors and contributors by means of certain liberal licenses. These licenses work in the same way as free software, often under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License and GNU Free Documentation License. Most Wikipedia media also come under similar licenses. Wikipedia content is free to be reused under appropriate licenses provided that the respective authors are acknowledged.
  • Copyrighted content is usually not allowed on Wikipedia in order to avoid legal complications, where the originator of the material used can hold Wikipedia responsible for the offence of copying original content.
  • Copyrighted material can be used on Wikipedia with the formal, documented consent of the originator. Before uploading material the original copyright-holders need to permit their inclusion on Wikipedia, unless the material is in the public domain or the copyrights have expired. If material which is not in the public domain or without suitable license has been obtained without the permission of the copyright holders and used in a Wikipedia article such action often leads to a copyright violation.
  • I intend to check that any material whether text or media that I contribute to Wikipedia is either original, in the public domain, with suitable licenses or with copyrights obtained from the original owner. Please do let me know if there is a gap in my understanding anywhere. Thanks.

Decline reason:

Substantial parts of this are inaccurate. As one example (but by no means exhaustive), freely licensed material, including on Wikipedia, is copyrighted, and the copyright holder has chosen to make it available under a free license. This also does not explain how one would go about determining if something is under a compatible license or in the public domain. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:39, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
