Rajesh, POV and all is part of [[Democracy]]. Every one is in a [[Gödel's incompleteness theorem | Gödel's world]]. So, I may not have the same world view as yours and you as mine. Nobody is absolutely right or absolutely wrong. Wikisleep is not a solution to these problems. Continue your work on Wiki and try to neutralise POV. I want you to reconsider your decision. -- [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] 05:45, May 27, 2004 (UTC)

== How to get images permission? ==
I could see many people easily get permission to use photos. I want to know if there is any letter templates for that. Why I'm asking is my English is poor and I wanted to use [http://www.sky.com/skynews/picture_gallery/picture_gallery/0,,30500-1111308,00.html] in the article [[Sari]] but couldn't even get response. I think, it needs bit diplomacy. Experienced people can share. TIA. --[[User:Rrjanbiah|Rrjanbiah]] 08:46, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
:Well, my advice on the matter - don't bother. Getting permission is a *HUGE* pain the ass. At best, maybe 1 in 3 requests get answered. I guess I've had some bad experiences. The best advice I can give is - find an alternative to whatever image you have. Government (.gov) pages are a goldmine of good, public domain pictures.

::::::::::::It used to be the case that all photographs taken before 1957 had a fixed copyright term of 50 years in the UK. Since the EU copyright harmonisation almost 10 years ago that has changed to non-Crown copyright photos having a copyright term of life of author+70 years. However Crown copyright photographs from pre-1957 still have the 50 year fixed term. That means all Crown copyright photographs from prior to 1954 are public domain in the United Kingdom.

::::::::::::Photographs that are 1957 and later (officially 1 June 1957 and later due to new copyright legislation that year) that are Crown copyright have a fixed copyright term of 125 years fron creation or 50 years from first publication, whichever comes first. That means that a photograph taken in 1958 and not published will not come out of copyright until 2084. However by that time it is likely to have been transferred to the public record office and there is a Crown copyright waiver on such materials which means that it will likely be useable after transfer.

::::::::::::As for IWM material, if it is originally Crown copyright, it will still be Crown copyright. The Crown does not generally assign copyrights. That means that if it is 1953 and earlier it is public domain in the UK. However its status in the US, where the Wikipedia server is located is somewhat unclear. It is in that foggy area on international law that often happens when different copyright regimes interact. Where we are talking about ordinary works then matters are clear, published pre-1923 is public domain in the US, and published works with authors dead earlier than 1934 are public domain in most other countries. However government material is an interesting question. I have sometimes seen places where the US Government claims copyright outside of the US. For example the Naval Vessel Register website explcitly claims to not be public domain outside the US. However, with the adoption of the rule of shortest term by the EU that claim is probably bogus within the EU. Crown copyright materials are even more awkward than US Government materials. There is an active copyright that is protected by HMSO. However its term is very different to non-government copyrights. What is its exact term in the rest of the EU? What is its exact term in the United States? Those are questions that I suspect could only be adequately answered by court cases.

== ArbCom 2018 election voter message ==
::::::::::::To summarise, in the UK Crown copyright photographs from 1953 and earlier are public domain. From the safest point of view in the United States if they are published then they are subject to the same rules as other British copyright works from that period. If they are unpublished then they are subject to Title 17, sections 302 and 303 of the US Code. Section 303 provides that works unpublished in 1978 shall be the same as for published works created after 1978, but that unpublished works shall not come out of copyright before 31 December 2002. If published between 1978 and 2002 they shall not come out of copyright before 2047. British Government works subject to Crown protection are works for hire under US law. That means they are subject to copyright protection for 95 years after publication or 120 years after creation. That means that all unpublished Crown copyright materials that were made before 1884 are not regarded as having copyright protection under US law. Published Crown copyright materials are subject to the same duration rules as all other US works made for hire. So published Crown copyright materials from pre-1923 are out of copyright.

::::::::::::The only common ground for the two regimes is published materials from pre-1923 and unpublished photographs from pre-1884 (since all other unpublished copyright material is under copyright until 2039 in the UK as a transitional provision similar to the US 2002 provision). However Crown copyright waivers on unpublished records extend the extent of photographic materials that could be used on the Wikipedia. That is the strictest view and is probably the one that would have to be taken by the Wikimedia Foundation. Personally I regard published Crown copyright materials that are more than 50 years old as effectively being public domain worldwide as HMSO are unlikely to pursue action over materials that are not in copyright in the UK (especially with respect to internet sites which are effectively acccessible from anywhere in the world at the same level, meaning that something on a UK server which would not be infringing under UK law is effectively the same as something on a US server that would technically be infringing US law).

== Aryan invasion theory ==

Hi Rrjanbiah,

Thanks for the warm welcome.

You asked me to write more about the latest DNA theories in the [[Aryan invasion theory]] article.

But the short passage of [[Mitochondrial DNA]] studies confirming the Aryan invasion theory, that I wrote on the [[India]] article, has been deleted by stating that the passage was POV. I had given scientific studies validating the statements and also provided bibliography at the bottom of the article. Still it was deleted.

How am I supposed to write anything at all on the AIT page. Besides, if the people on [[wikipedia]] delete passages which are corroborated with scientific data and bibliography, then I think the wikipedia has already been ravaged by people who edit anything that they do not like, by calling it POV. POV seems to be a phrase justifying any kind of edit. [[User:Water Fish|Water Fish]] 20:50, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

: Dude... you're off-base... there are mitochondrial dna studies affirming genetic admixtures could only have taken thousands of years before the ingress and hence the AIT is 'disproved' was different. Also, major figures like Romila Thapar have come out denying the racial basis of Aryans. The point of this is that there ''do'' exist scientific and historical studies arguing the points you attempt to set forth as gospel and hence, these debates are appropriate only on the AIT page itself, not on a synopsis in the India article. The debate is referenced. No one's shutting you up. --[[User:LordSuryaofShropshire|LordSuryaofShropshire]] 00:03, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)

All that is required if you wish to place the atheist categorisation on that page is that you explain ''why''. It may be '''known truth''' to ''you'', but other readers of Wikipedia will also want to know why this person falls in that category. It would be helpful if you added a sentence or two to the article saying why he is an atheist, and how this displays itself in his everyday actions. If you can't find the right words, then put the evidence on the talk page, and ask other people to do it for you. Simply placing the categorisation on the article without explanation just seems like a very POV thing to do. All we want is that things are obvious for other readers. [[User:Noisy|Noisy]] 09:43, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've asked you before: please substantiate this categorization or remove it. There is no justification within the article, and therefore it appears totally out of place. Once the detail has been added to the article, it may then become apparant that it is the right thing to do, but at the moment it looks wrong. You are obviously in a position to justify this, so please expand the article first: that's all I'm asking. [[User:Noisy|[[User:Noisy|Noisy]] | [[User talk:Noisy|Talk]]]] 07:31, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

:Please don't remove as it is a known fact. If you don't trust me, do a google test. The article is still stub and it should be cleaned and improved. But, removing content will only weak the article. --[[User:Rrjanbiah|Rrjanbiah]] 07:49, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Please see my question at [[Talk:Subramanya Bharathy]] -- Ragavan

== Bharata Natyam article ==

Hi Rrjanbiah! You said there was "Wikispam" there.
Wikispam is of 2 kinds:
1. Advertisements masquerading as articles
2. External link spamming

I wanted to tell you that the presence of 2 external links to different pages (providing different information!) of one web site cannot be considered as "link spamming".

And both links are very useful, by the way.

I feel that there is no need to be over-zealous in "cleaning" Wikipedia.

Hi Rrjanbiah,

this is what I wrote on the talk page of [[user:Mirv]]

By not deleting the article [[Medha Hari]] you have promoted spam on the wikipedia. It has shown that a person can retain a spam page on the wikipedia by making more than one user i.d. and create support for his own spam page. This is an ominous sign for the wikipedia. Doesnt the wikipedia have any mechanism to stop people from creating hundreds of I.D. and create support for themselves in vote for deletion. The wikipedia ought to have mechanism for this otherwise it is doom for the wikipedia. [[User:Water Fish|Water Fish]] 16:23, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles. Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 1000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''". If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]

== Keyman ==

Sundar, sorry I couldn't concentrate more on the Tamil key in script. Having Sunday alone as holiday in week is bit hecktic; now I have added a beta code at [[User:Rrjanbiah/monobook.js]]--it's quite buggy as I'm testing it. I want to shrink the textarea, but couldn't. Also, should work on help and other section. Probably will work on those stuff in this weekend. If you have any suggestions, please inform me. It has to be put up on monobook.js page (may require one or more browser refresh; will pull up keyman on "edit page"); perhaps, I should work on generalised bookmarklet, let me see. -- [[User:Rrjanbiah|Rrjanbiah]] 12:38, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

:Good work, Rajesh. It's going in the right direction. Take your own time to finish debugging and adding it to the edit page. Do it when you get free time. -- [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] 10:18, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)

I badly need beta testers:) Can you please lend some time in testing the UI?

You may need to copy [[User:Rrjanbiah/monobook.js]] to [[User:Sundar/monobook.js]] Clearing the cache or hitting refresh button once or twice should trigger the application. It triggers only in edit pages (one with "action=edit" in URL). I appends another textarea next to this usual textarea. I did a small Firefox browser check to promote it--for IE, it should exit with some alert. (You may delete the code after testing it, so that it doesn't bug you).

The problem is with the UI; it sucks a lot. Basically, it has two texareas (say, ''keyin'' for bottom; ''editor'' for top). It works in appending mode. If you type any letters in ''keyin'', it appends the transliterated Tamil character in ''editor''. You may also insert characters in ''editor'' by positioning the cursor and typing in ''keyin''. If you don't select any texts in ''editor'', ''keyin'' should clear the whole texts in it. Right now, if you select any English texts in ''editor'', it will bug you with some debugging message.

With this UI, the problem arises when the texts in ''editor'' exceeds it's height--that is visual limit. That is, you may be seeing what you're typing in ''keyin''--but without seeing/knowing how the text is actually converted into Tamil in ''editor'' pad.

So, the next UI I'm thinking about is using *only one* textarea and hooking it. That is, when you type anything on the textarea, it immediately gets changed/transliterated to Tamil. (That is, if you type 'd', it will be entered in the textarea as '&#2975;&#3021;'). This should solve the positioning and space problem, especially it should solve the focusing issue as I told above. But, I would like to know, how userfriendly it will be? Would you be willing to work in such textarea or will you be liking the one I have right now?

== Your link to Salma ==

Hi Rajesh
I hope you will not mind my calling you that.
I would like to read more of Salma's work. She seems to be one of those rare instinctive feminists that keep cropping up in communities where womens' issues are ignored. Unfortunately she does not have a web presence.
In your translation of Salma's poetry you have used the english word vagina as a direct translation of Tamil yoni. Problem is the word yoni has a much wider meaning in most Indian and Hindu contexts than a simple sex organ the english word refers to.
It is the same with Lingam. If you translate lingam as penis you are correct at one level but the person reading the english version will have no clue of the many different contexts the word lingam has in indian languages nor its connection to Shiva or Hinduism.
Problem is there is no english word to explain yoni. Vulva being the word for the opening may be anatomically more appropriate, still lacks the poetic and religios context. This I believe is what leads to the mislabeling of her work as erotic poetry.

== LTTE ==
Hi,
You seem to be an interesting guy. I do not agree with your views on VP/LTTE but that is not an issue. I do not agree with many peoples' views on many topics. Besides not being a Tamil I do not have direct experience of Tamil issues, only second hand from my friends. You have a link to an article on a young tamil Poet whose work I am unable to read as I do not read Tamil. Judging by the translated bits she definitely seems a courageous woman.
I have a few questions for you.
1. If a sharia court sits in judgement of this young and idealistic woman's work and condemns her to death because her work is subversive and against the teachings of Qur'an how would you feel about it.
2. What do you call an organization that executes its critics?
3. Hitler, Stalin both had large numbers of loyal followers who believed in their leader. Do you believe that having a loyal following somehow exhonarates a person form his crimes? Or do you expect winning the war will allow LTTE to write the history and all atrocities committed on the way will be deleted from history?
My viws on LTTE and VP are not based on the sinhalese government propaganda but on the experience of many of my tamil friends, organizations like the Amnesty and ICRC.
Sirimewan Meghawarna


Rajesh I have posted an article I believe to be a fair description of Prabhakaran on the discussion page. Please tell me what you think?Sirimewan

== Race or culture the basis of Sri Lankan conflict. ==

Rajesh,
We do have different views of the LTTE. I am not surprised as we are different people with very different experiences. That is not a reason to avoid discussion. Before reading your message I transferred the bit I wrote on Prabakharan to the main article. If you feel it is unsuitable please revert to the previous version.
As for race I grew up learning this myth. Mahavamsa the chronicle Sinhalese consider their history is mostly mythology. Particularly in the early parts of the history of the race. As a medical grarduate I find it impossible to believe that a lion could mate with a woman and produce children, Sinhabahu and Sinhaseevali. Even if they (incestuous marriage) could marry and produce progeny some should have reverted to being lions.
Based on this kind of nonsense the sinhalese developed the other myth common to many groups of people in the indian subcontinent. That the Sinhalese are decendents of an Aryan race from the north india and the Tamils from an inferior dravidian race. Propagation of this myth -taught as history when I was a child, was the basis of this race myth. Most sinhalese nationalists still believe in this and the whole issue is deeply ingrained in the psyche of these people.
As a doctor practicing in Sri Lanka I have examined hundreds of Sinhala and Tamil people and I can asssure you ther are no discriminating characteristics between the two groups of people to account for different genetic origins.
Undress them and remove religious and cultural identification symbols you cannot tell them apart. Further desease patterns and other genetic markers among the sinhalese and tamil migrants in europe do not differ from those among other people from the south of the indian subcontinent. Sadly stll the Aryan Dravidian myth is being propagated resulting in beliefs that feed this conflict.
If we are the same biologically what are our differences? We speak differnt langages and have different religions. Even these are not unsurmountable problems. If you visit buddhist temples in rural villages most of them have a shrine to a hindu god, existing alongside.
I is a fact that the language Sinhala has northern origins(Pali and Sanskrit) while Tamil has differnt roots. is this a good enough reason to kill each other? Problem with narrow nationalism ie. Sinhala/Tamil is that it accentuates the minor differences and ignores thousands of years of common heritage. The best end to this conflict would be to forget the differences and unite as Sri Lankans and agree to share the resources without killing each other.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Thanthai Periyar.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], and then use a tag such as {{tlp|Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. [[User:Nicke L|Nicke L]] 11:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The American College Madurai Logo.png==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:The American College Madurai Logo.png]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

[[File:Information.svg|30px]] Hello Rrjanbiah! Thank you for your contributions. I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''1''' of the articles that you created is tagged as an[[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person]]. The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog.

::You have added "[[Siddha medicine]] claims to have cheapest available treatment." a second time to the lead of the article on AIDs. There is a number of problems with this. One it is unreffed. Two it is not mentioned in the body of the article. Three even if you can find someone who says it is cheap to use I can think of a cheaper treatment ( its called nothing and it is free ). If on the other hand you are referring to a cost benefit analysis you would need a review article from the last 5 years published in a major journal. This is how Wikipedia works. Cheers.

==File permission problem with File:Kalam sujatha school photo.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Kalam sujatha school photo.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 [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''{{NoSpamEmail|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 [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|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 '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}'''.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|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 [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Rrjanbiah}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]].

Hi. When you recently edited A Letter to a Hindu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tamil (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.
