Hello, [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia.
{{Opentask}} 

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]], [[Wikipedia:How to write a great article|How to write a great article]], [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions|Naming conventions]], [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. You should read our [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|policies]] at some point too. 

If you have any questions, see the [[Wikipedia:Help|help pages]], add a question to the [[Wikipedia:village pump|village pump]] or ask me on [[User_talk:UtherSRG|my talk page]]. If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in [[Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit|assigning those to your username]]. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]! 

*If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in [[Wikipedia:Changing attribution for an edit|assigning those to your username]]. 

*You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. 

*If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the [[Wikipedia:votes for deletion|votes for deletion]] page. There is also a [[Wikipedia:votes for undeletion|votes for undeletion]] page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted. 

Again, welcome! - [[User:UtherSRG|UtherSRG]] 17:31, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Hi, many of your articles have almost no content.  I won't delete them just yet, but be warned that another admin might, before too long.  Please resist creating new articles unless you plan to extend them to a reasonable length, or at the very least add an appropriate <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> tag into them.  Thanks, [[User:Stewartadcock|Stewart Adcock]] 21:47, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for putting a stop to the edit war about which state [[dosa|dosas]] originated in, and the nice explanatory comment.  I've added a [[Talk:Dosa#Claiming_state_of_origination|section on the discussion page]] for people to debate this if they like.  --[[User:BenKovitz|Ben Kovitz]] ([[User talk:BenKovitz|talk]]) 13:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
==License tagging for File:AKKA-5th-WKC.jpg==
Thanks for uploading [[:File:AKKA-5th-WKC.jpg]].  You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.  Wikipedia uses a set of [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All|this list]], click on [[:File:AKKA-5th-WKC.jpg|this link]], then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.  If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]].  Thank you for your cooperation. --[[User:ImageTaggingBot|ImageTaggingBot]] ([[User talk:ImageTaggingBot|talk]]) 07:07, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

==File source problem with File:AKKA-5th-WKC.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:AKKA-5th-WKC.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Desi}} in your upload log]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''' per Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F4|F4]]. If the image is [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyrighted]] and [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free]], '''the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:21, 16 September 2010 (UTC)''' per [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] criterion [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F7|F7]]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no source-notice --> [[User:Soundvisions1|Soundvisions1]] ([[User talk:Soundvisions1|talk]]) 10:21, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

==File permission problem with File:Htgctemple.gif==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Htgctemple.gif]]'''. 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=Desi}} 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]]. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:image use policy|image use policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

[[Image:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|alt=|link=]] Your addition to [[:The Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago]] has been removed, as it appears to have added [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyrighted]] material to Wikipedia without [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|permission]] from the copyright holder. For [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|legal reasons]], we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

== October 2014 ==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Desi|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give [[:Bengaluru]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "[[cut-and-paste]] move", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is legally required for attribution.  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is [[WIkipedia:Autoconfirmed|four days old and has ten edits]], you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page (the tab may be [[:File:Vector hidden move button.jpg|hidden in a dropdown menu]] for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove--> [[User:NeilN|<b style="color:navy">Neil<span style="color:red">N</span></b>]] <sup>[[User talk:NeilN|<i style="color:blue">talk to me</i>]]</sup> 19:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

== Your account will be renamed ==

<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Single User Login finalisation announcement|the announcement]] for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Desi. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Desi~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can [[Special:GlobalRenameRequest|pick out a different name]]. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit [[Special:MergeAccount]] to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,<br />[[m:User:Keegan (WMF)|Keegan Peterzell]]<br />Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

== Deletion discussion about [[Sanvikaa]] ==

Hello Desi~enwiki, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, [[Sanvikaa]], should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sanvikaa]].

Deletion [[WP:AFD|discussions]] usually run for seven days and are ''not'' votes. [[WP:DISCUSSAFD|Our guide]] about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is [[WP:N|notability]], but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>CharlieMehta<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Sanvikaa]]==
[[File:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read [[WP:Your first article|the guide to writing your first article]].</p><p>You may want to consider using the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|Article Wizard]] to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on [[:Sanvikaa]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G4|section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a [[Wikipedia:Deletion debates|deletion discussion]], at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sanvikaa]]. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Sanvikaa|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Sanvikaa|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-repost-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Significa liberdade|Significa liberdade <small>(she/her)</small>]] ([[User talk:Significa liberdade|talk]]) 04:25, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
