The article Tim Finin has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a person or group of persons but it does not indicate how or why that person or group is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. howch e ng { chat} 22:26, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Scilogo.gif. 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 image tag applied to the 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:

Your addition of a copyrighted non-free image to Trisha Krishnan has been removed as it was in blatant disregard of WP:FUC and of the message (that you removed) on that page. Please note that Wikipedia takes deliberate violations of WP:FUC very seriously. -- Yamla 17:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gilli7.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 17:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
You said: "I uploaded the Ghilli image because it was a promotional image by the movie makers, and no other suitable image was availble in the public domain. If you see the images files of many other movies, only this rationality is used."
You said: "Since the Ghilli image is a valid one, why not this be used in Trisha's page? If we get a better image or a licenced once, then we can remove this image. The rationale: Pages relating to media persons, should not be left without image as it might reduce the popularity of the page."
Hi, thanks for your note on my talk page.
I was unhappy with your edit to Rani Mukerjee for various reasons, each to do with style rather than content. I would normally fix such minor errors myself, but I was (and am) very busy, and I rather hoped that somebody else (perhaps you yourself) would copyedit and resubmit the edit if the information was considered worthy of inclusion. As it stood, with so many minor errors in so short an edit, I felt that it was questionable whether the edit really improved the article, or detracted from it.
Please consider the following:
1) while her another movie
Paheli
Punctuation, slang, style (film titles should be in italics), and particularly grammar.... compare with....
while another film of hers, Paheli
2) edging over black
I do understand this, yet I think that the meaning is somewhat unclear - please revise "edging over", and capitalise and italicise the film title, ie Black
3) Your remark was placed immediately before a reference to an article titled "Black steals the show", which clearly relates to the comment before your remark, and does not actually mention Paheli at all. Please consider placing your comment after the reference (moving the period to the new end of the sentence) so that it this is clear.
Also, please remember to sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
I hope that I not caused offense, and that you find this helpful.

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).

Please do not make such radical changes to an article without discussing with others - If you felt parts of the Vaishnavism article were 'Iskcon pov' then please add other information or talk about such things on the discussion page. It's not acceptable that you change the page title without even asking for a concensus of opinion. Ys, GourangaUK 10:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trimurti2.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ 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 {{ 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 this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:43, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I am guessing you are referring to latitude and longitude on bot-created articles. The bot did use Fallingrain as it's reference whereever it could find a match for the town name. If it did not find a exact match with the census name, it will not be able to pull the geo-coords in. That's what happened in many towns and cities. Hope that explains. -- Ganeshk ( talk) 23:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
If you want it to be Hindu temples only, you should name it Hindu temples around Chennai instead. People get confused when the discription is different from the title. -- ProveIt (talk) 02:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
It would be great if you can provide info about Theemidhi, Chatti and other rituals, but I think it would be more appropirate to include these things in the article Mariamman itself in the Amman temples section. If you plan to discuss in detail, you may well create separate articles for Theemidhi, etc. However, if you still think Mariamman Temple would be the best place to have this stuff, please go ahead with the reversion. ~ srini 03:34, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Balajiviswanathan I know about copyright policies. The article is still in the stub form. It means, I'm currently working on it. It has not matured enough. In the course of next one week. I'm planning to finish this stuff.
Articles are supposed to be created by editors, not by one person all at once. That defeats the whole purpose of Wikipedia -- it's supposed to be a collaborative effort, not as you say one person working "for the last one week, I've sat day and night". It is much harder to reference an article correctly when it is written as you say it was, by one person. That is called Original Research and it is against Wikipedia policies. See WP:OR.
But however the article is created, its has to have references for its sources. It is Wikipedia policy that any editor can remove information from an article if that information is not sourced.
User:TomTheHand who is an Administrator and expert on referencing always suggest that people lool at this article: 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict to get an idea of what is meant by the non negotiable policy WP:V with a how-to in WP:CITE. Paul McCartney is another example that I like better because it is not a conflict article. I just wrote a really simple article, Teardrops from My Eyes, with references.
Anyway if you don't understand all this, let me know and I will try to help you out. What is you source material? You need to have links to online sources and page numbers and ISBN number for books. Hope this helps. Mattisse (talk) 04:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia articles get mirrored thousands of times through Google etc. If you have an article up for even one day, in the next day or two it will be all over the internet. Then Templenet will notice -- I'm sure they keep their eye on Wikipedia anyway as it is very commom for people to just lift their stuff. Just write the article one sentence at a time. I wrote most of Chennakesava Temple and if you look in the History you can see how long it took me before other people helped. But that's O.K. That's what being a stub is about. Here's another I wrote Chidambaram Temple -- which you can see needs more work and a good picture. Here's another Badami Cave Temples that looks better because of the pictures! Some temples I've gotten no where with -- it's hard to find the information. Do you know User:Dineshkannambadi. He know a great deal about temple architecture and also comes up with some wonderful pictures too. He is also organizing the temple project and coming up with consensus rules. He feels, except for a few temples, most temples should be merged with the town they are in and maybe he is right. He says its because the life of a town centers around the temples, plus there are too many temples with the same name. And too many different ways the names are spelled.

Thank you for pointing that out, and for doing it so politely. I didn't notice the Badrinath Temple page, with a much better image of the temple already there. Here are two pictures I took and uploaded, that you are free to use for the Badrinath town page if you wish. One is of the hot baths: [1], the other of Nilkanth: [2].

Please refrain from abusive language on talk pages where possible. What's wrong with a sensible debate on the article talk page if you have a disagreement. Or simply revert my edits with another comment. (In regards to the Vishnu article). Statistically, on a large & *neutral* (i.e non- Hindu or Vaishnava in this case) site, Vaishnava's are shown are the largest group. Why not use this information? Ys, GourangaUK 20:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Are you absolutely sure Badrinathpuri and Badrinath are one and the same? ~ srini 07:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm confused with what is happening with the Hindu temple issue. Chennakesava Temple is an example of what User:Dineshkannambadi is doing. He is working on a coordinated effort regarding Hindu temple architecture. See Hoysala architecture for another example, as well as Somanathapura and Doddagaddavalli. What is the focus of your articles, that is, is the aim just to generate an article on every temple? From what I understand from User:Dineshkannambadi, that is pretty much impossible as there are so many temples and the same temple can have many different names. Plus the same name is often used for many different temples. I believe some thought must be put in to developing some organizing facter. Just my opinion. Mattisse (talk) 14:00, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Have you checked the articles that exist already? There are many people interested in temples and you don't want to exclude them from your plans. Articles are supposed to be collaborations, not single person projects. Also, you have to cite references for your material per WP:CITE. Did you look at the links I sent you? Mattisse (talk) 18:55, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hai friend,
Why did you placed the NPOV templete in Ayyavazhi article? Where the article loss the Npov - Paul 23:20, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Dear Balajiviswanathan,
The issue of the disproportionately vast presence of the Ayyavazhi sect in WP has been a problem for a long time. See [4], [5], [6], [7], etc If you also see the number of pages this user has inserted links to the Ayyavazhi pages, you will realise the magnitude of the problem. I have been deleting these insertions where I find them. However it is a hard task if one editor insists on doing this day in day out. BTW User:Paul Raj is suspected to be the same as User:Vaikunda Raja. He also uses a number of anonymous ips to spam WP. - Parthi talk/ contribs 00:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Why all of you comming against me like this. Again I am telling I was citing with University papers. Please Understand Friends - Paul 00:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
The Community bulletin board is NOT the place to have a discussion on religious portals. Take it to Wikipedia:Help desk -- Tagishsimon (talk)
I strongly urge you two to take your dispute to Wikipedia:Mediation. You both care about the issue passionately; I cannot see how it will be resolved without damage other than by mediation. -- Tagishsimon (talk)
You going on moving rudely against Ayyavazhi articles. Please understand friend. I've cite dwith Newspaper report. The govet have dsclared the festival day as a holiday. This itself is an indirect proof for the existence of the religion. More over the reserch books from proffessors are used as citation in the ayyavazhi article. Many books are from external sources. LMS reports, which call Vaikundar and Ayyavazhi as satanic agents are used as citation for the spread of the religion.
Also please go through the previous discussions once again for the risks in the matter of Ayyavazhi. No one is cheating any body. You compared Ayyavazhi to Micky mouse etc.. Please understand that myself is also a human being. - Paul 01:53, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank You. - Paul 02:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
May I know the reasons for deletion of the two cat in Ramakrishna Temple? I thought both were relevant! Thanks! — VMO 02:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Friend, Again why you are in complete speed towards deleting Ayyavazhi? I've cited that Ayyavazhi is a religion by the University release, Religion and Subaltern Agency. Why you are not considering the offline notabilities? Generelly this is the problem with India related works. Please see this(scroll down for the discussion of User:Chancemill) Also offline sources are again important to inda related articles. Please see the discussion of User:Doctorbruno I cited earlier. Commonly, even reserch Books from Universities lack ISBN status in India.
Please stop the effort of deleting. Again Try to Understand the situation,
Right from the biggining I started editing, I am trying to make understand the users. I had to make use of a lot of time and effort to make them understand. After some days another user use to come with the same issue. Then I've to repeat all these to them. So,
Friend, understand Please - Paul 16:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
The statement about the lack of solid historical evidence is valid as it is in the article as there has been very few found so far. The megalithic finds are not valid as evidence for 'Tamil history'. They are simply evidence of human habitation in the region. Literary dating is not acceptable as no one can firmly say when Tolkappiyam and Tirukkural were written. - Parthi talk/ contribs 00:52, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I saw your talk with GourangaUK and I agree with you. I seriously doubt that more than 500 million Hindus (which is supposed to be the number of Vaishnavites) have never worshipped Shiva, Ganesha and others devas/devis. There are probably some exclusive worshippers, but I doubt that they are the majority. These "sects" that that the Western scholars has put are used to divide Hindus. But Hinduism is much more diverse and united than four sects. Some villagers worship their own gods along with the main ones. There are some who even worship Ravana and others who say even Jesus Christ and Allah areultimately the same thing as Bhagawan. Gizza Chat © 07:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Read Wikipedia:Fair use. To quote a small part:
---Images---
There are a few categories of copyrighted images where use on Wikipedia has been generally approved as likely being fair use when done in good faith in Wikipedia articles involving critical commentary and analysis. Such general approval must be seen in the light of whether a free image could replace the copyright image instead.
Mattisse (talk) 19:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tirupathi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject 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. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Ganeshk ( talk) 19:11, 19 November 2006 (UTC) ==
Well, thanks for clarification! Yes, what you have done is a sensible thing. While arranging Temples by location, diety etc we should also remember that if anybody from the other hemisphere wants to get a full view of Temples of INDIA, would that be possible? I hope you will take care of that when you rearrange the categories. – VMO 11:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Balaji, I was wondering whether you or other editors can replace the image (i.e., Khajuraho at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu#Religion_for_the_common_Hindu with a non-sexual image? It gives the wrong impression about the article, religion for the common Hindu.

Hi - I see you have created two new stub types. As it clearly explains at WP:STUB, and at the top of most stub categories, all new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at WP:WSS/P, so that they can be checked for viability, and to make sure they don't go against either the stub category hierarchy or stub naming conventions. In the case of your new stub type, it was not proposed, and it is possible that it will not reach the standard threshol;d of 60 current stubs for it to be considered viable. The stub types have been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries - please make any comments as to the reasons for and possible population of this new stub type. Be warned that they may be nominated for deletion via WP:SFD if deemed not to conform to normal stub type criteria. Please, in future, if you wish to create a new stub type, propose it first! Grutness... wha? 04:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Stubwise, literature is split mainly by genre, not by language or place of origin - poetry uses poetry-stub, romance novels use romance-novel-stub, children's books use child-book-stub, and so on. Writers are split by nationality, though (and there is an India-writer-stub). Grutness... wha? 09:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
You recently uploaded Image:Varanasi.jpg. However, you provided a false license for the image. In fact, the image is licensed under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 which is inappropriate for use on the Wikipedia. As such, the image has been deleted. Please be more careful in the future when picking out image licenses. Thanks. -- Yamla 20:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[User:Dipendra2007] Hi, I notice that you have used an atypical version of the Kali image Image:Kali2.JPG. We think that it gives out an incorrect interpretation of the Goddess, could you alter it to more mainstream one?
The Goddess Kali is a complex deity. In villages of North Sri Lanka and in Nepal she is often viewed in an un-iconic form without the elaborate iconography that the picture you posted depicts. She is seen as pure power that shatters all limitations that confront the devotee - be they mundane or spiritual. Interesting, the bandit queen - Phulan Devi who belonged to a scheduled caste herself always sought the blessings of the Goddess. So did the robber tribe called the thuggees in the ravines of Chambal.
The picture you have uploaded incidentally is grotesque, hideous and would be seen as demonic by a casual non-Hindu who reads the article. It does not do justice to the complex strands that define concept under consideration. Why not use a more mainstream picture or just the face. The Bengal school of iconography i.e. the two eyes with the tilak on the forehead stands out. Or the south-Indian Bhadrakali i.e. of Kali emerging from the fire. Thank you and may all blessings be upon you one month ahead of the lunar new year - i.e. Ugadi. --- This unsigned comment was left by Dipendra2007
The picture Image:Kali2.JPG that you uploaded has become part of a debate on the Kali talk page ( See here). There is a user named Dipendra2007 who keeps on deleting it off of the Kali page because he doesn't feel it's an appropriate image of the goddess (which is POV). I am requesting that you join the discussion to help resolve any problems that there may be. You should have a say in the matter because it's your picture. Thanks.

Earlier you expressed concerns about POV in Ayyavazhi portal articles. I modified lead of Ayyavazhi article to reflect the opinion that it is primarily sect of Hinduism than separate religion. Pl share your views in the talk page of Ayyavazhi. -- Indianstar 06:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
If this were a content dispute, I would happily agree with you. But I don't believe it is a content dispute -- in my opinion, this is a copyright issue, which means there's very little (if any) room for negotiation or compromise. If it's copyright infringement, there's really no way it can stay on the wiki; copyright is a non-negotiable, foundation-level policy. That said, I do not intend to offend, and apologize if I have. – Luna Santin ( talk) 08:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I've unblocked the IP at your request, however, that was not the original complaint directed at the IP. What got me watching it in the first place was spamming of openwifispots.com on various unrelated pages. Obviously you've got no way of stopping that, but silly and weird vandalism on top of that made me hit the button. Sorry if there was undue attention directed at you because of the block log. Next time I see shenanigans I'll just push the button silently. — coel acan — 01:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
You claimed to be the "author" of this image. Was this a painting your yourself painted, or did you merely take a photo of a poster with someone else's painting? Taking a photo of someone else's work does not at all give you the legal right to claim authorship or release it under a public license. DreamGuy 03:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
You had originally tagged it as being public domain due to age, but this photograph is clearly not 100 years old. It needs an accurate teg.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Westland Gardens, because another editor is suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if
consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{
db-author}} to the top of the page.

Hi -- on the summary of the image you posted to the Murugan article, Suran.jpg, you say "The Tamil phrase above says: asurapura thagana murthi, which means the murthi who killed asuran who was actually murugan." This may be true (I don't know), but I think this is actually a depiction of Lord Shiva opening his third eye and burning Kama to ashes, which occurs in the narrative of Lord Murugan's conception.

A tag has been placed on Great Clips, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Balajiv, What did you finally decide about Ayyavazhi. I myself independently came to the view recently that this is a hoax religion and does not exist. Have you found concrete proof that it is real? I see your discussions were from a long time ago. My reasons for thinking it is a hoax is that it centers around a person who has no known birth or death dates, there is one hosted web site that says all content is by the site developer - ayyavazhi.org. All the other sites are wikis and blogs. And there are no google news reports at all either on the religion or its supposed founder which seems extremely odd. Please let me know what you have learned. AguireTS ( talk) 23:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Akilandeswari.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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Samayapuram.jpg. 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 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 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 criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 04:46, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Teppam.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 15:01, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Thiruthani02.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Category:Saraswathi temples, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to see if it abides with the categorization guidelines.

The file File:Tce-front.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused (see WP:NOTWEBHOST), unclear purpose
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
