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.

== How to get images permission? == |
|||
:''from the pump'' |
|||
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. |

|||
::::::::::::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).

I haven't worked on the Jayalalitha article or anything related to it since May. I uploaded the older image and can see it on the image page but not on the article which is strange. This seems to be a bug. --[[User:Hemanshu|Hemanshu]] 12:13, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

== 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) |

== Kannada page == |
|||
I noticed that you reversed a lot of the changes made on the "Kannada" page - please mention on the discussion page before making major reversals; I am not sure if it was an accident or not - can you let me know either on the discussion page or on my talk page? (responding here is also fine; I will check back later) - thanks. --[[User:Ashwatham|ashwatha]] 06:35, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC) |

:Sorry, it seems to be an accident. Fixed now. --[[User:Rrjanbiah|Rrjanbiah]] 08:35, 24 Aug 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) |
|||
Are you telling me that you can't justify it yourself? That I have to justify it for you? That doesn't seem right to me. The onus is on you to provide the evidence, not on me. [[User:Noisy|[[User:Noisy|Noisy]] | [[User talk:Noisy|Talk]]]] 07:58, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC) |
|||
:First of all, I'm not a professional editor to write the whole articles immediately. I can do what I can do. I have added the well known fact, and will substantiate it once I get time and words. As it is a stub, I don't think it's a big issue.--[[User:Rrjanbiah|Rrjanbiah]] 08:04, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

Disambiguation link notification
[edit]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.
