Expanding Ramanujan College

Regarding the message you left on my talk page: I wish I knew more about Ramanujan College that would allow me to expand the page, but I don't. Perhaps you could appeal to someone at Deshbhandhu college to help expand it, or to recruit someone to help expand it. Also I have little time at present for Wikipedia.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hunsur, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hasan. 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.

Categorization of Indian settlement articles

Hello,
Please do not remove the village or town categories when you add articles to another category that doesn't specify the type of place it is. Articles need to be categorized by what type of place they are, not just the area where they are located. This is an example of the type of edit I am speaking about. You can leave it in both categories.
If you are ever unsure about categories, you are welcome to ask me and I can help you. Nocowardsoulismine (talk) 00:02, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Nocowardsoulismine, keeping villages in both categories looks more sensible after you have pointed out it to me. Thank you for the advice. I will need further assistance in categorization and at that time I will certainly contact you. I have saved your ID in my category people list (first entry). With warm regards, --Prof TPMS (talk) 00:06, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicón

Hi Prof tpms, I just wanted to let you know that I closed Articles for deletion/Chicón as speedy keep. It looks like an IP created a redirect after your nomination, so AfD would not be the correct venue. Redirects for discussion would be the correct venue to discuss possible redirect deletion. In addition, if an article is blanked by the article creator, then this could be taken as a deletion request. If that is the case, you can request the article be speedily deleted by adding {{Db-g7}} to the article according to WP:G7. Thanks! -- LuK3 (Talk) 23:27, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, thanks. --Prof TPMS (talk) 23:29, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Need a help..

Hi.. Prof tpms, You had reviewed the page 'The Soldier (2016 film)' and suggested to upload a photo. The problem that I am having with the media contain is to satisfy the copyright criterias.. So it would be nice if some guidance would be attained for uploading the film's poster. Thank you.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenish.bajracharya (talk • contribs) 10:44, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jenish.bajracharya, Files can be uploaded as fairuse like this:

Fair use in page name
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and :the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
  1. Source: [http:// school website] Retrieved DD/month/year
  2. It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the logo represents.
  3. The image is used as a school infobox illustration.
  4. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
  5. The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
  6. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Thrippunithura into Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 20:35, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Diannaa, for the kind advice. I will make use of the inforamtion. I have created four or five pages in the past for the purpose of decluttering long sections by putting redirects like
Main article: xxxxxxxxxxxx
. In addition to that, I can aso include the wording {{copied}} as suggested by you. But is it necessary when the original section is completely removed and only a short summary is created in its place? --Prof TPMS (talk) 23:26, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The most important thing you need to do is say in your edit summary at the destination article that the material is copied from another article, and to see its history for attribution. That part is mandatory! Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. You should also use the {{copied}} template on the talk page of both the source page and the destination page if there's a lot of prose copied or moved. Please let me know if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 23:31, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Diannaa, I got the point. I can take the model suggested by you: this edit summary. For the old pages, I can click and save again with that sort of edit summary. Regards and thanks, Prof TPMS (talk) 23:35, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Diannaa, I have gone back to a few of my older pages and given attribution as given below by putting one space and saving again with the new edit summary. Regards, --Prof TPMS (talk) 23:58, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Hi there. I see that you've removed Category:1978 establishments in India with the rationale that this isn't a university. Whether it's a university or nor, it's still an institution that was established in 1978 so the category was appropriate. Thanks. Uanfala (talk) 07:48, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've also undone your edit as your new categorisation directly contradicts the rest of the article. Feel free to bring this up at the talk page. Uanfala (talk) 07:49, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Uanfala, categories like Category:1978 establishments in India help to keep the categorized pages parked until suitable categories are found. A small Madrassa needn't be categorized with universities and colleges of recognized sort. Regards, --Prof TPMS (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're misunderstanding the point of such categories. Placing an article within Category:1978 establishments in India would be temporary if this category had more specific subcategories. But it doesn't. And the question of whether something is a university or a madrassa (or both, as seems to be the case here) has no bearing on the fact that it was founded in 1978. Uanfala (talk) 13:22, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Uanfala, no issue. But why you categorise my talk page in the same category?

Prof TPMS (talk) 13:26, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops, forgot the colon. Fixed now! Uanfala (talk) 13:34, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, naveenpf, it is a good idea. Indian districts are so vast and unwieldy that calling them districts is not semantically correct. Any move to classify them further is a good move. Thanks and regards, --Prof TPMS (talk) 12:15, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
