Disambiguation link notification for November 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2013, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Visa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Usage of Fair Image

I saw your reverted edit in Srilankan Tamils Article. Is there any rule state that Fair use Image shouldn't be placed in Info Boxes? If means point out me. Otherwise Please revert your edit Again.--Tenkasi Subramanian (talk) 10:41, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

The use of fair use images is severely restricted (see WP:FAIRUSE). Generally it is only allowed where there are no free images available and it is needed to illustrate the subject. This is not the case in the Tamil/Sri Lankan Tamil articles. There are plenty of free images of Tamils/Sri Lankan Tamils so you will find it difficult to justify using non-free images. WP:NFG states that "The use of non-free images arranged in a gallery or tabular format is usually unacceptable" - this is a similar scenario.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 12:45, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Oh. Ok. Thanyou for the Info.--Tenkasi Subramanian (talk) 14:48, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Upload photos to wikimedia commons

Hi Obi2canibe,

Thank you for your concerns on my problem. The wikipedia has the below link.

https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Upload

Anyway it's easier to upload photos with photo description & licensing

Could you let me know whether there is a similar link in commons too as it is convenient for me to upload then.

In commons I couldn't find a place to add photo description & licensing.

Waiting to hear from you, pl.

Thanking you for your advice,

Kind regards

Images removal at Mano Ganesan's Page

• Rather than removing the images completely from Mano Ganesan's page why can't we introduce a gallery section? We can't expect everyone visits a page, will visit the Wikimedia Commons's Images. And Images of Mano Ganesan are a very few currently available.Lapmaster (talk) 02:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, it is not an image repository. Please have a look at WP:NOTREPOSITORY and WP:Gallery. Don't be discouraged - the images you have added are very valuable but the appropriate place for them is Commons.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 14:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the information.Lapmaster (talk) 12:34, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the Education in Sri Lanka Page

Hello Obi2canibe :)

A Very Good Day to You !!!

You state that the image I reentered to the article doesn't add anything to it,Why NOT ?,It was right beside the relevant topic "Compulsory leadership training for undergraduates"Check Education in India as well,Sorry I can't Agree with you on this .

Thanks MediaJet talk 06:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, it is not an image repository. Any image included in an article must support the encyclopaedic content. The image in connection doesn't show students undergoing compulsory leadership training, it just shows them posing for a photograph. It looks very much like that the uploader of the image is trying to shoehorn the image onto a high traffic article. As for your last comment please read WP:OSE.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 19:41, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

LTTE is Another Word for BULLSHIT Terrorism

Please Block Me From Wikipedia if You Can,That's a Great Help LOL.However I Will Not Be Active in Wikipedia Anymore,I Retired--MediaJet talk 15:17, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Very mature. You're a credit to your race.--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 15:24, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Truly Speaking I am Not a Member of any Race or Creed,though I had mentioned certain Race & a Religion in my page.I leave Wiki because I don't feel comfortable in retaining here any more, You have done a Great amount of work here and that is Appreciable but I don't consort with you on some areas however I don't like to talk those anymore.

NB Trust me or Not I am a Person who knows facts about the LTTE than You,Useless Discussing those shits here.Whenever I see these 4 evil Letters my mind goes back to one horrible Night,A Day We lost one of our Dearests

This is what I wholeheartedly believe

“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind” - Jiddu Krishnamurti

I am Sorry If I Hurt Your Feelings

May the Blessings of Noble Triple Gem Be Always With You / May God Bless You !!! --MediaJet talk 19:10, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

No hurt feelings. Not calling the LTTE terrorist does not mean condoning their actions. It's just a rule we have here on Wikipedia. It's sad to see yet another Sri Lankan editor think they can disobey the rules and, when they are brought to task about that, they resort to foul mouthed abuse. Why can't you have a "robust discussion" without using obscenities?--obi2canibe^{talk contr} 11:10, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
