Re: Bidhan Nagar edit on 26 December, how's it spam?
Hi, I have just come accross a message you left for me at my ip address talk which said "Your edit to Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata on 26 December 2006. Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Victor 02:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I went up and looked the edit you talked about, and I had just linked the city centre link in the article, to City Centre (shopping mall). How and why did you come to the conclusion that it was inappropriate, and that I was spamming, and moreover felt it was serious enough for you leave a message on my ip talk page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.35 (talk • contribs) 12:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
District templates
We have not had occasion to discuss matters. I recently came across your note on the Rajarhat talk page. I have been working on the cities and towns for some time. I started with transfers of material from Ganeshbot and then got involved. Recently, I have put in a district template for all towns in West Bengal. Maybe, I have missed few here and there. Please have a look. Feel free to make corrections, as you deem fit. Regards -- P.K.Niyogi 03:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response and also your warning about the Bankura map. I have added it. Yes, slips do take place. I have been editing pages without any regard to personal attachments. It is a good learning experience. Regards -- P.K.Niyogi 04:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Greetings on Republic Day, belated. --Victor 04:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Bangla wikipedia, again
Hi Victor, I've written earlier about Bangla wikipedia. Have you looked into it yet? We need more Bengalis, especially those from West Bengal. Thanks. --Ragib 00:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
West Bengal Portal

Images
Hi Victor, Though it's a minor issue, I just want to point out that you cannot use "fair use" images at User:Victor.P.Das/Images I have uploaded. Such images are subject to strict usage guidelines, and any usage or display of the image must be on a page where the usage will be fair under the criteria (i.e. an article about the object).
I suggest that you remove the thumbnails to FU images and just link to them ... an example is like this Image:Logo hcs.JPG. Thanks. --Ragib 17:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, you can use thumbnails for images with licenses that allow for it. Fair use is just another name of using a copyrighted work under a strict and narrowly defined way ... you can ONLY use it to illustrate the object. Even if you had uploaded it, the image is still copyrighted. Any usage of it outside the strict fair use criteria isn't allowed, and so, user pages/subpages cannot have fair use images (see #8 on the criteria page). Hope this helps. --Ragib 18:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I'm a 5th grader, and am doing a prodject on Canada. I'm making a broture. I'm going to need lots of pictures, and was wondering if I could use your picture. Could I? Thanks! :) Write back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.228.149.235 (talk) 18:45, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

RE Tweak on Barnstar
Oh! Thank you! That is much easier :-) I hope WP SK works out, some of the other provinces have just gone for it, and SK has so many articles online, but they all don't have categories or Talk templates to help bring them together for a quick search.
Idea
Hi, I am not a very active Wikipedian, but I try to make a contribution when I can. I was wondering if there would be interest in some of the Saskatchewan Wpers getting together some time in the near future. I suggest the Craik Eco-Centre at noon for lunch on Saturday, June 23. Delzen 22:32, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Here is my attempt to get things moving. I have set up (I think) a Wikimeetup at Wikipedia:Meetup/Saskatchewan. I'm not sure what is next except to sit back and wait, so I will now sit back and wait. Delzen 18:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:EastBengalNewLogo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:EastBengalNewLogo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
University of Regina
That is a terrific photo you took. And in winter -- Reginans are always rather bashful about photos of their city when it is minus 30 degrees, but that is, when all is said and done, when the city is at its most characteristic. It is a pity, though, that you only took one. Or did you? It would be nice if there were photos that showed the new Wascana campus of the university to better effect: from the new oval, for example; or showing the new residences. Any chance that you will be in Regina again in the foreseable future? Or that you took a few other photos when you were last there? Greetings, incidentally, from Australia.Masalai 18:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- You're right, I suppose: with brighter sun the photo would have been even better; but as I say, that IS what Regina looks like much of the time and it is certainly the best photo there is. Masalai 03:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Saskatoon and District Soccer Association
A tag has been placed on Saskatoon and District Soccer Association, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall talk 21:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
SK Meetup
Looking forward to the meetup; looks like it will be a small group this time. I've noticed the speedy deletion issue myself before, so that is a good topic for discussion. Please not that there should be wireless internet access at the Eco-Centre, so bring laptops if you like. We should try to keep the meeting to under an hour, as there are other sessions and events being held that day that I would like to check out, but am flexible. --Delzen 19:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
