Dear @Adam Black GB Thanks for the correction. Actually I want to add a picture of the catholic Saint to the article. Unfortunately we don't have any other images of the Saint as well. In this case the only option was to take an image from the published source. If it's a copyright issue what is to be done. Most of the available images have been uploaded in the public domain websites. Please help 117.230.152.213 07:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Being uploaded to Facebook does not mean that a work is in the public domain, copyright still applies unless the creator relinquishes the copyright or released the work under a free license (such as a creative commons license). You may be able to upload a non-free copyrighted work to the English language Wikipedia under a fair-use rationale, but there are strict restrictions on how fair-use media may be used. Please visit en:WP:FAIRUSE for further information.

Please familiarize with Wikimedia's policies first

Message in response to your request for help on my talk page.

• Do not use a "shared" account while editing Wikipedia. See w:WP:NOSHARED. Your username "Defendersofhistory" may not be allowed as it indicates a shared account, and thus the block in English Wikipedia will remain. Consider creating a new, unshared account and disclose it for editing Wikipedia.
• Do not add copyrighted content to Wikipedia. *Any* material copied from internet is copyrighted by default, so unless the author specifically grant permission, do not copy paste into Wikimedia sites.
• Do not upload photos from internet to Wikimedia Commons. For now, you should only upload photos taken by you. Upload them directly to Commons with full meta data intact, not after uploading to social media.
• Realize that w:Wikipedia:Competence is required, so take time and learn policies and guidelines first. Do not violate them.
• If you need any clarification, feel free to ask me. I can also respond in Malayalam.

If you have pictures of churches taken yourself, please do upload the original photo jpeg files directly here using Special:UploadWizard. Photos legitimately taken by you will be accepted in Commons, even if you are blocked on English Wikipedia. See Category:Churches in Ernakulam district for examples. Thank you. Vis M (talk) 14:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank u so much... I am learning Wikipedia slowly. I have a doubt.. I couldn't understand what u said about my username. Can u tell me in Malayalam Defendersofhistory (talk) 14:43, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

The given draft page is not cut and paste material... It's authentic.. what is the reason for decling Defendersofhistory (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

നിങ്ങളുടെ username ബഹുവചനം ആണ്. "defenders"എന്ന വാക്ക് English Wikipediaയിൽ username-ൽ allowed അല്ല. See Wikipedia:Username policy#Usernames implying shared use. Vis M (talk) 14:47, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

ok... മനസ്സിലായി... വളരെ നന്ദി... പള്ളിയുടെ ആർട്ടിക്കിൾ approve cheiyaan വഴി ഉണ്ടോ.. Defendersofhistory (talk) 14:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Chance കുറവാണ്. It's not declined yet after you made the edit. It was previously declined for two reasons: 1) it was improperly sourced, and 2) Not meeting Notability Criteria. See w:Wikipedia:Notability and w:Wikipedia:Verifiability Vis M (talk) 14:55, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons എന്ന ഈ site-ൽ ഈ രണ്ടു policy ബാധകമല്ല.So you can upload photos of churches taken by yourself as long as it was actually taken by yourself Vis M (talk) 14:57, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

ആരാണ് Articles Approve ചെയ്യുന്നത് Defendersofhistory (talk) 15:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I found your photo which u have uploaded. Indo Portuguese Museum Fort Kochi.. this made me to contact u for help Defendersofhistory (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that photo was taken by me using a mobile phone camera. You can also take such photos yourself and upload to Commons, as according to Indian Copyright law, you own the copyright of such photos you click. Vis M (talk) 15:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Articles are approved by volunteers who are well versed in Wikipedia's policies. They judge articles independently without showing bias. Only articles meeting the standards of Wikipedia will be accepted. Vis M (talk) 15:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

File:St louis mundamveli.png is also not acceptable. *Only* upload photos taken by yourself. Do not copy paste from other sites.Vis M (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

actualy that photo is taken by my friend.. but we have posted that photo on Instagram Defendersofhistory (talk) 15:02, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Do not upload such photos from instagram. Also do not upload photos taken by your friend. See Commons:Copyright rules Vis M (talk) 15:03, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

It will soon be deleted from Commons as it violates Commons:Copyright rules. Please see Commons:Project scope and abide by it. If you want to add photos of these Churches, then you should go out to these churches and take photos from your phone or camera. Photos taken using Mobile phones are also wholly accepted, it just has to be taken by you. I take all such photos myself. Vis M (talk) 15:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Every contributor here is doing it in their volunteer capacity. We share photos of Monuments to Commons to document history and heritage of Kerala. But while doing so, make sure not to violate the Copyright laws of India or the policies of Wikimedia Commons. I hope in the coming days, you will take pictures of churches yourselves and then upload directly to Commons. Only then will those images be accepted here. Thanks and regards. Vis M (talk) 15:34, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

ok I shall do that... Thank u for your kind help Defendersofhistory (talk) 15:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquinas_College,_Edacochin

This was a draft page created by me. I asked one editor to review. As it hasn't fulfill the requirements it was declined. But he changed this page to a redirect page, actually it lost all my edits as well . Is it not possible to get back the actual draft. Will I be able to create a new article in same page name. Defendersofhistory (talk) 15:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

You can retrieve the content from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aquinas_College,_Edacochin&oldid=1225089320 , but DO NOT reinstate that article in Wikipedia.

I would also suggest you to refrain from editing Wikipedia till you get familiar with the policies. You should also get unbanned first, as editing Wikipedia in any way will be considered as "block evasion". Vis M (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

The ideal thing you can do is go out and take pictures of churches and upload it to Commons. Do not do any other editing activities here or on Wikipedia as you have been blocked for violating policies multiple times.

Once you gain trust by uploading allowable photos and abiding policies, the admins may unblock you Vis M (talk) 16:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok Defendersofhistory (talk) 16:30, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank u I got the actual draft material of the page.. one doubt...it seems that the page has been published.. is that so? Page approved aayo ? Defendersofhistory (talk) 16:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

No, the page did not get approved. It got turned into a redirect. Vis M (talk) 17:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Redirect മാറ്റി എനിക്ക് ആ പേജ് പബ്ലിഷ് ചെയ്യാൻ പറ്റുമോ. As a new page. It's of our college in Kochi Defendersofhistory (talk) 17:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

No, don't do that. You have been blocked on Wikipedia, you should not make any edits unless your block is removed. Also, that article will not pass the Notability Criteria of Wikipedia mentioned above, so it will get deleted either way. Vis M (talk) 17:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

ok... എൻ്റെ account block ആയി എന്ന് ഞാൻ eppozhaanu അറിയുന്നത്. എനിക്ക് ഇനി ബ്ലോക്ക് മാറുന്നത് വരെ എൻ്റെ ഫോണിൽ എടുത്ത ഫോട്ടോസ് മാത്രമേ അപ്‌ലോഡ് ചെയ്യാൻ പറ്റൂ അല്ലേ...

ഒരു സഹായം ചെയ്യാമോ... ആവശ്യത്തിന് വേണ്ട എല്ലാ details um njaan നിങ്ങൾക്ക് നൽകിയാൽ... കോളജിൻ്റെ പേജ് റെഡി ആക്കി തരാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് സാധിക്കുമോ... എനിക്ക് ഇത് പഠിച്ച് എടുക്കാൻ കുറെ സമയം വേണ്ടി വരൂം.. കുറെ തെറ്റും സംഭവിച്ചേക്കാം... നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഇത് അറിയാവുന്നത് കൊണ്ട് താന്നെ ഇത് എളുപ്പം ആയിരിക്കും...

പറ്റും എങ്കിൽ എന്നെ സഹായിക്കണം... വളരെ വലിയ ഉപകാരം ആയിരിക്കും...അതു. Defendersofhistory (talk) 17:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

കോളേജിന്റെ പേജ് റെഡി ആക്കാൻ സാധിക്കില്ല. ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് വിക്കിപീഡിയയുടെ inclusion criteria ആയ "Notability" guidelines നിങ്ങളുടെ കോളേജ് പ്രാപ്തമാകുന്നില്ല.

പകരം താങ്കൾക്ക് മലയാളം വിക്കിപീഡിയയിൽ https://ml.wikipedia.org മലയാളത്തിൽ ലേഖനം എഴുതാൻ ശ്രമിച്ചു നോക്കാം. നന്നായി എഴുതണം. ഇല്ലങ്കിൽ അവിടെയും ബ്ലോക്ക് വീഴും. ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് വിക്കിപീഡിയയിൽ ഇനിയും താങ്കൾ തിരുത്താൻ ശ്രമിക്കാത്തതാണ് നല്ലത് എന്നതാണ് എന്റെ അഭിപ്രായം. Vis M (talk) 17:52, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok Defendersofhistory (talk) 00:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

മലയാളത്തിൽ പേജ് ക്രിയേറ്റ് ചെയ്യാം... അതു ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് ിലേക്ക് translate cheiyaan pattille... Angane puthiya ഒരു പേജ് ക്രിയേറ്റ് ചെയ്യാൻ sadhikille Defendersofhistory (talk) 04:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

ഇല്ല, അങ്ങനെ പറ്റില്ല Vis M (talk) 12:22, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Given your block history, the only thing you should contribute to Wikimedia is the picture of churches you take yourself from your phone/camera. Any other contribution will most likely be removed. Vis M (talk) 17:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

File tagging File:AC-Logo-Medium.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:AC-Logo-Medium.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:AC-Logo-Medium.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
