== re:Bangladesh images ==

I think you were looking for {{tl|PD-Bangladesh}}, which already exists. There is a link to a short article about BD copyright law of 2000, which is somewhat similar to Indian laws, i.e. photos are in PD after 60 years; govt photos are copyrighted, etc.

Thanks for staying on top the Aurangzeb edit mess.--[[User:Nemonoman|Nemonoman]] 05:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

==Your edits to Newkirk and PETA==
Please bear in mind that all edits must conform to BLP, V, NOR, and NPOV. Your edits violated almost all of them. The Newkirk edits violated BLP, as did your edit summary; the PETA edits used terrible sources, and you can't write that a group has "advance knowledge of terrorist acts." Please review the content policies. Many thanks, [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] [[User_talk:SlimVirgin|<sup style="color:purple;">(talk)</sup>]] 15:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

:Your edits to [[Ingrid Newkirk]] violate [[WP:BLP]]. If you continue to add the same material without explaining the context, you may be reported. Please note that BLP violations are blockable offenses. [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] [[User_talk:SlimVirgin|<sup style="color:purple;">(talk)</sup>]] 06:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

:Idleguy, I'm sorry, but this kind of writing is unacceptable: "Critics of PETA point to this statement, that the organization, like its leader, has double standards in advocating others to refrain from killing animals while have indulged in killing of animals instead of finding a home for it." You can't just leave it there, or keep reverting when others remove it. There are similar problems with your other edits. [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] [[User_talk:SlimVirgin|<sup style="color:purple;">(talk)</sup>]] 19:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

:I don't know what you mean about double standards. I'm talking about the English. This is the English Wikipedia, and the writing has to be of a minimum standard; if you want to quote from good sources, do so, but don't put words in their mouths, and then revert when people tell you the writing is unacceptable. As for POV pushing, you're the only one I can see who doing that by, for example, deliberately leaving out the context of Newkirk's statement about killing animals in the pound. The context casts a completely different light on it. [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] [[User_talk:SlimVirgin|<sup style="color:purple;">(talk)</sup>]] 19:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

== Your note ==

Idleguy, before you jump to any conclusions, try to read my edit summaries. I did read your edits and it's very possible that many could be acceptable, if properly presented. The issue is that you must present your information and sources while following WP rules, e.g. [[WP:V]], [[WP:RS]], [[WP:NPOV]], etc. As I suggested in the Talk page, try to create a change set that relies only on acceptable sources; CCF/AnimalScam are not. We may tweak the language if it's not NPOV enough, but proper sources would not be rejected. So please give it a shot, do it the right way, and see what happens. Thanks, [[User:Crum375|Crum375]] 19:47, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
:Since you are the one adding to or modifying the article, you should try to create a changeset that relies strictly on acceptable sources. Yes, in theory it's possible for others to modify your edits for you, but it would be much more efficient for you to do it and then for others to just do the final tweaking if needed. [[User:Crum375|Crum375]] 19:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
::If the records CCF cites are publicly available, then those would be admissible in principle, but they cannot be cited via CCF. So all you need to do is find the same records via another, admissible, site, or from the originator of the records. [[User:Crum375|Crum375]] 20:57, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

== Fair use ==

For someone supposedly keen on ensuring the image policies are adhered to, you should know that you can't claim fair use of an image (the sniper) recently taken specially for The New York Times, because it is still worth money; and I don't think you can claim fair use for the CNN/PETA shot unless you use it in the CNN article.

If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful.

==License tagging for Image:Karachi04.jpg==
Thanks for uploading [[:Image:Karachi04.jpg]]. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image tag]] applied to the [[Wikipedia:Image description page|image description page]] indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
* [[Wikipedia:Image use policy]]
* [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]]

This is an automated notice by [[User:OrphanBot|OrphanBot]]. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]]. 08:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

== RIAF Vs IAF ==

I just reverted the edits made to the Indian air force page. it is a common mistake to assume the IAF was established as the RIAF in 1932. It was set up just as the IAF. It did not get the "Royal" prefix till 1945, so refering to it as RIAF in 1932 is inaccurate. The IAF was RIAF only for the years 1945-1950 [[User:Jaiiaf|jaiiaf]] 18:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

== Siachen errors ==

:Idleguy, thanks for pointing out that you respect my role as a professional geographer.  Unfortunately, your incorrect Siachen edits continue the pattern apparent from above that, at the very least, you are sometimes hurried or careless in your fact checking with some of your edits.  Forgive me for "piling on", but you are simply wrong about your Siachen Glacier length....it is 70, not 80 km long, as you are regarding your positions claiming (falsely) Pakistani control over some of the Siachen Glacier and over Gyong La.
  
:Most odd was your reverting to your incorrect facts while:

:1) in the case of length, not even noticing the conflicting footnote which you left untouched where I explained the methodology of measuring glacier lengths including 70, not 80km, for Siachen, using:

:a.  modern satellite imagery such as Google Earth, b.  good Russian AND good Swiss maps, and c. a modicum of geographic expertise.  I can assure you, having just returned from the Karakoram with GPS and maps in hand and having walked the 2nd longest glacier a bit west of Siachen from end to end, that wild, unsubstantiated, Internet guesses at glacier length for that region are invariably not even close to accurate.  I invite you to try  this methodology rather than just reverting to a figure that you found on some internet site.

:2) in the case of claiming incorrectly that Pakistan controls Gyong La, your idea of contributing to accurate information on this key pass is to delete my entire reference (coordinates, etc.) on its location (taken from any good map of the area including those cited above.)  I'm sorry, but deleting someone else's relevant information to disguise  your incorrect facts is not going to win you friends in editing Wikipedia entries.

:I have corrected these three errors (first paragraph above) again, and I would hope that you continue your obviously helpful edits in many entries and varied topics.  But for geographic facts and figures such as these, I am sorry that you may not have the resources that we have in our offices where we follow geographic aspects of locations like the Siachen-Saltoro region very closely and have to "get it right." Thanks in advance for respecting that expertise.

:Finally, I have seen some of the dated and/or inaccurate Internet claims that Pakistan controls Gyong La or that the Siachen Glacier (which from longest and uppermost "tributary" to snout is within  a few hundred meters of 70 km) is somehow 8 or 10 km longer!  So I understand how you may have felt  obliged to copy and paste these into the Siachen article, but next time I encourage you to first do some measurements from available sources.

:By the way, all of the Internet sources are not wrong.  The map at http://im.rediff.com/news/2005/may/26siachen.gif  explains that India has, for some time now, controlled the Saltoro watershed ridge crest which includes all three main passes.....It controls everything east of and a bit west of the line shown on that map, leaving all of Siachen Glacier and Gyong La in its control.

:And at http://svaradarajan.blogspot.com/2005/06/siachen-solutions-for-taking.html , note the passage: "The purpose of authentication is to ensure that after a withdrawal has been effected, Pakistan will not move back to its old positions or up Gyong La, Bilafond La and Sia La — the three passes along the Saltoro range — to positions currently held by India."

== Image:Barren Island.jpg ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Barren Island.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:Barren Island.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:Barren Island.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

"which was know as "Badmash" by Pakistani pilots due to it's threat to invading Indian who were unable to match up to it's thunder" this was '''Not meant to state that air superiority was reached. it only meant that INDIAN pilots were fearful of this aircraft due to it's speed.'''This a open fact ask any pilot or person of the time working with PAF or IAF about this.So how this statement was changing fact it did not at all talked of air superiority.[[User talk:Yousaf465]]

:I didn't added that "Many of the independent sources, even one of the India military chiefs at that time admitted the total air superiority achieved by the Pakistani air force with in 3 days of the war." line.By invading i meant that this particualr war machine was mostly used '''over Pakistani airspace''' so indian were in invading position.

Even your assumption that it was Pakistan which statred the war then your are denying three major pre war events I don't know if Indian mention those events or not but it was India's plan to move into desert.[[User talk:Yousaf465]]

The events i was talking about were India's "Unprovoked agression,pure and simple"  on Rann of Kutch border.This samll army was ejected from this area.In aftermath of this event Indria Ghandi, announced: '''"India will respond at a time and place of her own choosing"'''.The next response was In july 1965 in Northern areas along the 1948 cease-fire line where Indians conducted a surprise "surgical operation".The Pakistan responed in haste with Infiltraion of commandos this was only done to divert the Indians from Chamb area although operation Gibra;ltor failed but diversion was succesful and Pakistan second operation area was a relative success.And Indria  Ghandhi's place choosen was Lahore and time was early hours of 6 September 1965.It was at 1000 hours on 6th Sept. 1965 that war was declared by Ayub Khan:"this is war".So pl let know the problem with this all.[[User talk:Yousaf465]]

Hello Idleguy
Quick question about your image which states in the info that these are Muslim soldiers. The dress suggests Sikh to me, and as near as I can make out, the legend on the original pic says "Hindustani Musilmans", though the resolution isn't clear enough to make out for sure. So my question is, are they definitely Muslim (as you say), are they Hindu (as the Hindustani part of the caption says), or are they Sikh? I was just wondering as a result of the discussion and changes going on in the article on the [[Second Battle of Ypres]]. You can contact me on my talk page, if you prefer.

If you read the passage, you would come to know that '''Pakistan raised an elite Special Service Group (SSG) commandos in 1987''', now it is upto you to decide who is trying to mislead others. If SSG was raised in 1987, then how could it have taken part in the 1965 & 1971 Wars. This means the whole article has been written by some Anti-Pakistan writer. Moreover, it says that Gen Musharraf was leading the attack, I have close contacts in SSG, and I can assure you that he never served in SSG either as Battalion Commander or a Brigade Commander or a Division Commander. He was in SSG only till he was a major and has never been posted to SSG again.

== Fa status of Kargil conflict ==

As there are still serious issues with article.It's doesn't seems to be a Fa article for the WP Paksiatn as it only meets the folling criteria:

"Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. Nonetheless, it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR). With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles."

Until those issues are not solved the article status can't be raised on Wp Pakistan even if it qualifies for the Fa by the Wp India.
Thanks.

I see that you keep adding "The Herald" source back. But the source is unverfiable. I have said this to you many times, and I can understand since English is not your mother tounge. But unverfifable means that the source cant be proven whether its actually legitimate or not. 
The herald source simply implies that "The Herald said .....", without providing any links or any source locations. This DOES NOT count as a legitimate source. 
For example I can add to some random article, "The herald said pigs fly now", without adding a legetimate source/link, would anyone believe this? Offcourse not. So, if you want to use "The herald source", Please providie a verifiable link, where the validity of the source can be proven. 
Thanks

==B12/Veganism==
Hi. Hey, my problem with including the info about B12 where you did is that it isn't a precaution about veganism but a warning about B12 supplements, so it should be on the B12 page if there is one. Large amounts of iodine are poisonous. A lot of info has been coming out about vitamin D that could be included here, but like the B12 info you posted, it is interesting but not relevent to veganism, per se. I think the specific risk of veganism is a shortage of B12 - not the danger of cancer for getting too much - which vegans might do but which is more related to vitamins than it is to veganism.

==1965 images==

Hello, 

You removed my images from the article by claiming that the images should not be allowed to stay on Wikipedia. If you have a problem with them, you are welcome to nominate them for deletion. Until such time that they are deemed to not fall under fair use however, you are not justified in removing them. Only reason I think you did this is out of a desire to prevent pictures depicting Pakistani victories. In the other Indo-Pak war articles, there are plenty of pictures from the Indian side, and I kept the Indian pictures on the 1965 article as well (except the bridge picture, which is really quite useless). 

So you are requested to bring the pictures to the attention of the proper persons if you wish to have them removed, but in the spirit of fairness, I ask you to please refrain from removing them yourself unless they are dleted.

Thank you. [[User:Zaindy87|Zaindy87]] 03:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

:Like I said, if you have a problem with the pictures, have them nominated for deletetion. Don't act like a hotshot admin. I see you've already been warned by an admin for repeatedly vandalising the SSG page. Don't turn this into a revert war.[[User:Zaindy87|Zaindy87]] 03:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

== [[Operation Gibraltar]] Good Article review ==

Hello Idleguy. Thanks for your quick response to my GA review of the above article. I'm actually a newbie GA reviewer, and under new proposals on GAC Talk to improve the quality and consistency of GA reviews I have asked an experienced reviewer to quality-check my review. I'm waiting for him to get back to me at the moment (unfortunately he has been taken ill). Your recent changes have definitely improved the article though. I still think it would benefit from a minor copyedit - whilst your English is excellent, some of the prose and grammar could be further improved. If it's ok, I don't mind doing this myself - as long as that doesn't invalidate my status as reviewer in this case (I'm checking this one at the moment).

:Thanks for the feedback - you are quite correct, I've been informed that a GA reviewer can make minor copyedits etc on the article they are reviewing. I'll make any necessary edits this weekend when I've got more time, and should hopefully be able to pass the article then (as per above, another GA reviewer has looked it over as well, and they had a couple of suggestions too).

:OK, I've been through the article again and made a few prose edits, and also changed all the web cites using the recommended template. One thing the second reviewer did recommend that I wasn't sure how to do, was to move the table (with the names/operation areas of the infiltration forces) over from the centre of the article to the side, preferrably with wrap-around text - currently it breaks up the flow of the text. I'll leave this one to you ;) Once this is done, let me know and I'll be happy to pass the article.

==Unspecified source for [[:Image:Amul63.jpg]]==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Amul63.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], 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.

== Image is not wrongly tagged == 

How is the image of the 1971 war I uploaded "wrongly tagged" and "misleading" ? It is an image from the war, and I acquired permission to use it via Wikipedia's recommended method. I emailed the copyright holder, and he granted me permission to use it under the GFDL lisence. I have forwarded that email to Wikimedia commons as is required. If you still doubt my word, you may email the copyright holder, Mr. Usman Shabbir and ask him yourself.

His email is listed on the bottom right corner of this page: http://www.pakdef.info/

You may verify the validity of the image at the link provided in the image summary.

Please don't remove the image from articles just because you don't like it. [[User:Zaindy87|Zaindy87]] 08:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

:The question is, does Pakdef.info itself own copyright to the image? I hardly think so. The image seems to be taken by army photographers, and so Pakdef.info is in no position to grant or delegate copyright to any images it displays on its site. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 08:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

:: Mr. Shabbir was a part of the Army unit which is seen in this picture. He took the photograph, therefore he owns the copyright.

== For help you seem to be the right person to turn to ==

I have been checking out your contributions to the articles on South Asian wars, and what I found made me very confidant that I have found the right person to ask for help. Please, take another look at the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]] article. I see that it copies a lot of stuff from [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], spread over two sections, and [[1971 Bangladesh atrocities]], which looks like a better place to accommodate much of the information provided in the Liberation War article. I sincerely believe that reducing redundancy between articles and evolving articles to sharper and neater shape is a much desirable goal. I have laid my hands on books and documents that enables to provide more information on the war itself, from a Bangladeshi perspective (though the books necessarily aren't of Bangladeshi origin). Looking forward to some advise and, if possible, a hand lent to the article. Please, respond to my talk page. Cheers.

==Atlantique Incident GA Sweeps Review on Hold==
As part of the [[WP:WGA|WikiProject Good Articles]], we're doing [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps|sweeps]] to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the [[WP:WIAGA|GA criteria]]. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a [[WP:GA|Good article]]. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed. I have made minor corrections and have added two citation needed tags for two statements within the article. Please add sources for those within seven days and the article will maintain its GA status. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a [[WP:GA|Good article]]. Otherwise, it may be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at [[WP:GAC]]. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page.

I have left you this message since you are a significant contributer to the article. You can see the review on the talk page of the article. The issues should be quick to fix and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days until they are addressed. If they are not addressed in this time, then the article may lose its GA status.

<blockquote>
If you see a removal of such content, and you disagree with the removal, do not edit-war to restore the information. Instead, participate in the discussion on the talk page.
</blockquote>

I don't agree that consensus was reached on this issue before. Few people have raised concerns and you simply told them it is sourced. Whereas  it clearly violates [[WP:UNDUE]]. [[WP:LIVING]] and [[Wikipedia:Avoiding harm]] specifies multiple conditions for adding sourced contents. Content you wish to add does not meet those requirements. If we cannot reach consensus then we can go for [[WP:THIRD|Third opinion]] to evaluate whether it satisfies [[WP:UNDUE]] and whether wordings satisfies [[WP:SYN]].--[[User:Indianstar|Indianstar]] 08:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[[User:Idleguy]] - DO NOT Remove tag on this article without addressing the POV issue. I have clearly raised an issue which appears to be quite obvious throughout the article - the Picture referenece was "an example" of the outstanding problem. 
::DO NOT force what you think should happen upon the enitre reader base. You are by no means the benchmark commentator who's opinion or efforts should be the only one credited - nor should you express your furstration towards the rest of readers.

You are attempting to do the one thing that should be avoiding while editing on thsi encyclopedic site - START AN EDIT WAR based on India-Pakistan national pride. PLEASE CALM YOUR TONE and try to address the issue for what it is.

I will report you as a vandal to appropriate admin group(s) if you try to stir up racial/nationalist tension by isolating specific issues to taunt "the other side" - i.e. - Pakistani Editors. YOU MUST BE NEUTRAL WHILST WRITING ABOU|T HISTORIC EVENTS ON AN ENCYCLOPEDIC SITE - THIS IS NOT A WAR MAGAZINE!

Once again - the issue appears to be the tone of the article gives out the impression of a one-sided argument. AN EXPERT REVIEW SHOULD BE CONDUCTED TO VERIFY THE NEUTRALITY OF THE ARTICLE.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:USMarineskier.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 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: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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=upload&user=Idleguy this link].

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lahore_1895.jpg}==

While your contributions to Wikipedia are great, I don't think it is appropriate to take images from other websites like the one above and others from Harappa.com and put them in the public domain without asking the owner. Each of these images has a copyright on the bottom of the page. To argue that they are more than 50 years old is not relevant; the scans made of these images are contemporary and not more than 50 years old and not in the public domain. You need the original, or an older than 50 year version to make a copy you can put in the public domain. Certainly it is only appropriate to ask permission from the site owner before doing this.

I tried finding the relevant discussion to the use of "War" but could not find it in the talkpage, neither could I find the source/person you state. Could you please link me to them. I also have read the note to the use of the term "War", and in my view it sounds as if the article was named "Kargil War" because the Indian government choose to do so. Furthermore, this seems as if its the pride of the victor. India won the conflict and decided it name it a "war" to show pride, for the lack of a better term. --[[User:UnknownForEver|→ Ãlways Ãhëad]] ([[User talk:UnknownForEver|talk]]) 02:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Well the Indian embassy bombing was indeed a tragic incident but Karazai  and his american masters are know for all this.When they are unable to make up a case they just call in the Film script writers.

This link is Indian I think [http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/aug/04pak1.htm]
This is one of the famous Indian paper [http://www.thehindu.com/holnus/001200808041866.htm | Musharraf targets India for unrest in Balochistan ]

These two are Pakistani sources

I even had a story about Indian involvement with Tamil tigers in Dawn's International page but can't find it's online link.
Moreover an interview of Bughti's grandson on aaj tv showed him wearing a bullet proof jacket from where it came from ?


That is why I don't use them as a source.Well that blog was for your personal reading only.It was to show why american sources such as www.fbi.gov can't be trusted anymore.which links weren't working ?

== Kargil War ==

I just finished reading V.P. Malik's 2006 book on the war (Kargil, from surprise to victory). It puts a lot of the contemporary news reports that were used as references to the article into some question, in my judgement. Since you have been the principal author of this article, I thought it would be useful to discuss with you some of the potentially controversial changes before I started editing.

1. the period between 1971 and 1999 is probably better described as a period of contest for the LOC (e.g Siachen Glacier), periodic border skirmishes, and a [[proxy war]] waged by Pakistan support of mujahadin and Kashmiri separatists. It also should describe the Pakistan effort to get diplomatic support for international intervention in Indian occupied Kashmir (but not in Pakistan occupied Kashmir)

2. In hindsight, it looks like the infiltration was totally a Pakistan military effort, the infiltration of "militants" was an operational disinformation story. I think contemporary reports are useful to show the thinking at the time, but the article should focus more on the information that is now available.

3. I don't understand the current division of the war into three parts. I can understand the first section - the infiltration - but the next two sections seem more to be one contiuous operation of pushing the Pakistanis out of the heights back into the LOC. If I were to put any division in, it would probably be the initial period when the Indians were trying to understand the nature and magnitude of the infiltration before it mobilized the additional forces.

Let me know what you think. [[User:Vontrotta|Vontrotta]] ([[User talk:Vontrotta|talk]]) 09:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

==Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sabre capture.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Sabre capture.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Kashmir_child.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.

== [[:File:Bharatpore maharajah.jpg]] needs authorship information ==

<div style="padding:5px; background-color:#E1F1DE;">'''Dear uploader:''' 

The media file you uploaded as [[:File:Bharatpore maharajah.jpg]] appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source),
or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media
clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

*If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{tlxs|usernameexpand|{{PAGENAME}}}} will produce an appropriate expansion,</br> or use the {{tl|own}} template.

* If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the [[copyright]] status of the images because the source is incomplete.

It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the images, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image files themselves.  Please update the image descriptions with URLs that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Pakistan libya.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F3|section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free content]]. [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-May/023760.html], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|permitted conditions]] then:
* state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
* add the relevant [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|copyright tag]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:File:Pakistan libya.jpg|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed without delay.

==File permission problem with File:Avgnat 4.png==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Avgnat 4.png]]'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license. 

If you are the copyright holder for 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 '''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 '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org'''. 

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tl|non-free fair use}} 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=Idleguy}} 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 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]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no permission-notice --> [[User:Kelly|<span style="color:#060;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;cursor:help">'''Kelly'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Kelly|hi!]]</sup> 08:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

==Orphaned non-free image File:Vajpayee Victory.jpg==
<span style="font-size:32px; line-height:1em">'''[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|left|⚠|link=]]'''</span> Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Vajpayee Victory.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in the [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F5|criteria for speedy deletion]].

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:File:Kashmir gibraltar.png]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The file [[:File:Kashmir gibraltar.png]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>unused, low-res, no obvious use</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[File talk:Kashmir gibraltar.png|the file's talk page]].

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion|files for discussion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->
