Nonsense of Category:Indian male modelsHello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Indian male models, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Indian male models provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. Speedy deletion of File:American-Flag-notnice.jpgA tag has been placed on File:American-Flag-notnice.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip [i.e. a Word document or PDF file] that has no encyclopedic use. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Fair use rationale for File:Riviera The Promised Land Stage TP.PNGThanks for uploading or contributing to File:Riviera The Promised Land Stage TP.PNG. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment. Thanks! Askewmind | (Talk) 08:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC) Plant and Garden wikiHi WoodElf, I'm writing to you because you've edited many of the plant articles. I wanted to let you know about a plants-specific wiki site which you might be interested in contributing to. The site focuses specifically on how to grow any plant. Since Wikipedia is not a how-to, and articles are not allowed to be written as a guide on how to grow plants, two years ago I started http://www.plants.am - a wiki solely to address that topic (much like how wikitravel.org is solely to advise tourists visiting a country or city on their destination). An example of how the sites differ can be seen immediately by comparing the Wikipedia article on Tamarind, with the Plants.am Tamarind article. Many of the articles currently on the site are placeholder articles taken from Wikipedia which are being rewritten from scratch, or shells of articles using new templates. However, a core of new articles like the Asparagus article (which still has a lot of room to grow) are being created, and the undertaking is huge. Perhaps you have some materials you can add which are not appropriate for Wikipedia. If you have any questions at all about this new resource, feel free to contact me on my user page here or on Plants.am. Thanks! --RaffiKojian (talk) 20:53, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Splitting "List of Latin phrases"Sharad, I'm reluctant to criticise fellow Wikipedia editors, but your edits on 26 May which split originally six articles for Latin phrases into 20 were unnecessary, ill conceived and badly executed. I had to follow that operation with 135 manual edits to pages which pointed to the old article names. Fundamental and far reaching operations like this should be presented on discussion pages first, in this case at Talk:List of Latin phrases โ that's why they are called discussion pages and that's why they exist. Gathering more minds around this matter (and I'm still questioning the need for splitting the articles) certainly would have avoided the mess your edits left behind.

Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Close paraphrasing concerns: Sannล MatsuriHi. The article above came to my attention due to a listing at the copyright problems board. I checked and have verified duplication from the about.com page. I also looked at your most recently created article, Sannล Matsuri; while you have obviously made an effort to rewrite this, I am concerned that the content seems very closely paraphrased from [1]. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation โ including both structure and language โ are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following: The source says:
The article says (bolding added to emphasize where copying is precise):
In this case, you have changed "in" to "of" and added a few words. The source says:
The article says:
Here, you have copied a major part of the sentence verbatim, with the remainder of the sentence following in structure on the original. As another example, the source says:
The article says:
As a website that is widely read and reused, Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously to protect the interests of the holders of copyright as well as those of the Wikimedia Foundation and our reusers. Wikipedia's copyright policies require that the content we take from non-free sources, aside from brief and clearly marked quotations, be rewritten from scratch. So that we can be sure it does not constitute a derivative work, this article should be substantially rewritten to separate it further from its source or content that is derived from that source should be removed. The essay Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism". I have not blanked this article, as I believe that it is better rewritten than the one above, but I have flagged it for {{close paraphrasing}}, with an explanation at the talk page. If it is not rewritten within about a week, much of the content may be removed from the article by an administrator or copyright clerk until such a time as somebody can add it without following too closely on a source. Please let me know at my talk page if you have questions about this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:49, 24 March 2012 (UTC) Template:Bengali culture has been nominated for deletion.

Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates? ย If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election. ย All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian The questionnaireDear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.
Detailed Instructions: you are welcome to answer these questions via usertalk (easiest), or via email (for a modicum of privacy).
We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers.

We understand that perhaps 7 days (i.e. 25 January to 31 January) were not sufficient to write on a topic like this, and/or you may need some more time to create/improve articles, so let's extend this event for a few more days. The edit-a-thon will continue till 10 February 2016 and that means you have got 7 more days to create or expand articles (or imprpove the articles you have already created or expanded).
The rules remain unchanged. Please report your created or expanded articles.
Editors, who have not joined this edit-a-thon, may also join now.
Reviewing of all articles should be done before the end of this month (i.e. February 2016). We'll keep you informed. You may also check the event page for more details.
A special barnstar will be given to all the participants who will create or expand articles during this edit-a-thon. The editors, who will perform exceptionally well, may be given an Indic Geographical Indication product or object. However, please note, nothing other than the barnstar has been finalized or guaranteed. We'll keep you informed.
Feel free to ask question(s) here. -- User:Titodutta (talk) sent using MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC) GI edit-a-thon updatesThank you for participating in the Geographical Indications in India edit-a-thon.
