Operation Jackpot
Hi, I noticed you restored some of the material from User:Frankfurt55 on Operation Jackpot. I have no objection in principle, but would recommend being cautious about his claims, because some of them seem to be contradictoy with other, equally sourced statements we had earlier.
According to the pre-Frankfurt version I restored yesterday [1] the operation at Mongla was commanded by one "Submariner Md. Ahsanullah". This version was referenced to "Rahman, Md. Khalilur, Muktijuddhay Nou-Abhijan, p. 114, ISBN 984-465-449-1". According to Frankfurt's version, it was commanded by "Aminur Rahman, Khosru". This is sourced to "Tayeba, Khatun (1972). Naval Commando Journal. Khulna: Bijli Press. pp. 102" I cannot check either of the two offline sources and have no idea which of them is true, but given Frankfurt's obvious (and probably autobiographical) interest in Mr Aminur Rahman, I'd take his claims with a pinch of salt. This [2] source mentions one "Ullah" and one "Khusru", which I guess might be the same individuals (I don't know anything about Bengali names), but it doesn't describe either of them as a commander.
Probably these individual soldiers' names should all be removed anyway, as none of them appears to be actually notable.
By the way, just out of curiosity, is it common with Bengali names to have part of the name set off with commas, the way Frankfurt writes this "Aminur Rahman, Khosru" guy? Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) having a clue of Bengali language The discrepancy in the leader of the attack is indeed disturbing, I would suggest going only by WP:V, as I see these edits as some kind of attempts to rewrite history using made up facts. The source that i found yesterday mentioned 4 Bengali surnames, Ullah, Sheikh, Khusru and Mondal. these refer to 4 differenct individual and it does not say in any way that Khusru did a major/special role in the event. I agree that these are individual soldiers (some sort of Marines of the Guerilla force) and as such are not individually notable.
- No it is not common to use comma in bengali names. but in official documents comma is used in full names to differentiate surname with first name. Following wiki MOS comma should be removed.--DBigXray 07:13, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- According to this source Bangladesh war of liberation Global Media Publications p98 it says the Mongla operation was lead by "Submariner Md. Ahsanullah". Darkness Shines (talk) 10:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Can't locate that source anywhere. Is this the correct title? Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:57, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- According to Google yes, [3] Darkness Shines (talk) 11:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, that one, thanks. I'm not seeing any reference to that publisher's name there though. Anyway, it should be sufficient to cast doubts on Frankfurt's statements. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- In this source, which was initially provided by Frankfurt, and the google book link provided by DBig, it mentions that Khursu was part of the team that destroyed the Somalian vessel. Now, the names of the commanders do not match in the 2 sources. I really don't know how we should proceed as i am unable to determine the reliability of either source. Frankfurt did mention on my talk page and the article's talk page (which he later removed) that he had other sources to support his view and requested time to find such books, and i saw no harm in obliging.
- I understand that autobiographical edits are strongly discouraged, but they are still allowed. Frankfurt claims that he has other books/journal that support his view, and we must ask him to provide more references. I believe he is a harmless but passionate new editor, who does not understand the rules of editing on wikipedia, and has poor english writing skills but that should not prevent him from learning and contributing. We can encourage him to provide his sources on his/article's talk page, and it can be decided if they are good or not. Thanks! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 12:16, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, hope your studies are going well. As for the article it requires an image and some work on the prose to reduce, what I call, machine-gun sentences, i.e. a series of short sentences in a paragraph that could easily flow together if the author applies a little effort.
e.g. The Netra is a quadrotor UAV with VTOL capability. It does not have moving parts apart from the rotors, which reduces the maintenance needed by the UAV. Flight manoeuvres are performed by independently controlling the speeds of the rotors. It is light-weight (1.5 kg) and portable, and is constructed using carbon fiber composites.
could be written as :-
The Netra is a lightweight UAV, constructed of carbon-fibre, that uses four rotors to provide lift and control giving a VTOL capability. With no moving parts other than the rotors, motors and transmissions the Netra requires very low maintenance and the low weight of 1.5 kg (3 lb), due to its carbon-fibre construction, makes the Netra easily portable.
Hope this is helpful.Petebutt (talk) 07:02, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Consistency of naming
Dear , I do not find any consistency in naming and arranging IITs,While you wish to add Varanasi with IIT(BHU),you do not add Mumbai with IIT Bombay nor Chennai with IIT Madras.Also IIT Rajasthan reflects the name of the state and no city.In such a case IIT (BHU) is the name of the IIT and Varanasi is the location city.Since no other IITs are showing the name of location city,there is no justification for IIT(BHU).So either provide city names with each IIT or remove Varanasi from IIT(BHU).Arranging IITs should have some logical base

I did not make any change in the article, and i simply moved on, as i saw not much value in debating over such a small issue. But i must tell you that i am not the one who is adding Varanasi to the name of the IIT. The IIT is called Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi.

A bit of help?
Hey man, I wanted a bit of help, with uploading images, where can I find licensing info about an image? -- Anurag2k12 (talk) 16:36, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- The permission to use an image is derived from the license/copyright under which it was released. That info usually accompanies the image. See for example, File:Sudarshan bomb.jpg. I uploaded it from here and if you scroll to the lower part of that webpage, under "Total Pageviews", you can see this: "Open Source. This work by V2 is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0". If no such info is given on the website that hosts the image, it is assumed to be not free. In that case, it is not possible to use the image on wikipedia. I am not very experienced in this, so you might ask User:DBigXray for the details about a particular case.
- Also, you may contact the publisher of the image (or hosting website) for a free permission to use the image on Wikipedia. If they agree, you can forward the mail to Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team, who will assign the appropriate license to the image.
- I know it is a frustrating process, but Wikipedia takes copyrights very seriously, mostly as it may cause legal troubles for the website, so read Wikipedia:Guide to image deletion, Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:File copyright tags. (yeah, its a lot to read, so take your time :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 17:03, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- If in doubt, drop a bomb on WP:MCQ--DBigXray 17:12, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

By the way, by citing this as the permission allowance, http://www.unmultimedia.org/photo/guidelines.jsp Can I upload photos authored by the UN freely? And then what licensing template should I put. -- Anurag2k12 (talk) 17:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- The page in its opening para says "UN photos cannot be altered, sold, redistributed or used to create derivative works." The images are allowed to be reproduced non-commercially (like on wikipedia), but that initial statement will prevent it from its use on wikipedia, as it is not a free use license. You can read this conversation for some details: User_talk:Electriccatfish2#Images_and_copyright. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 17:28, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- So that means I must not upload works of UN, unless granted explicit permission? -- Anurag2k12 (talk) 18:36, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, that is what i make out of it. This is because the license issued by UN, and the license required/issued by Wikipedia for the content it hosts is not fully compatible. You can confirm that on WP:MCQ or from an admin. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 18:41, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Sudarshan bomb.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sudarshan bomb.jpg, which you've sourced to V2. 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 CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{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-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a 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 your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 18:37, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

- Thanks I can now see the license but I doubt that the image belongs to them as it is just somebodies personal website. It looks more like an official photograph. If they are using a UK licence and we must presume a UK base then how did they take an image in India! Perhaps we chould take it to WP:PUF for other opinions. MilborneOne (talk) 19:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think it is an official image. And all the images on their website come with the open source license. At least the deletion tag can be removed? Of course, i am biased here, as i spent a lot of time looking for images to add to the article Sudarshan laser-guided bomb (that i created) and this is the only image i found that came with a suitable license. :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 19:31, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Of course, i am biased here, as i spent a lot of time looking for images to add to the article Sudarshan laser-guided bomb (that i created) and this is the only image i found that came with a suitable license. :) Anir1uph | talk | contrib 19:31, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- I would request you to remove the speedy deletion tag on the image. The reason that "This file is missing evidence of permission. It is sourced to V2, and while a copyright tag has been applied, there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license." is invalid as V2 had indeed issued the required open source license. The validity of the license is being questioned by you here, and there is no broad consensus for that. So it is not fit for speedy deletion, as it requires discussion. Thanks!

- Thanks for the info, I have removed the tag. It might help if you did forward the email to OTRS but as the website has the licence it may not be strictly required. MilborneOne (talk) 11:26, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! I did forward it to them but since it did not comply with the required format, the OTRS volunteer asked for another mail, and i dropped the matter as a license was available anyways. Thanks again! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 11:35, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
