Thanks for uploading Image:Lord.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use ((gfdl)) to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use ((fairuse)).) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Secretlondon 17:13, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
Hi Bhudiya. I noticed that you replaced the image on the Meenakshi temple with one on a Swaminarayan temple in Ahmedabad. Please give your reasoning for doing so. Perhaps we can arrive on a common conclusion. Thanks and happy editing --Deepak|वार्ता 21:07, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
An image that you uploaded, Image:Temple4.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. |

Hi, you may want to have a look at WP:IUP. Welcome!! --Gurubrahma 18:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Acharya rakeshprasadji.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: ((TemplateName))
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 09:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hh01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use ((GFDL-self)) to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Bhagwan Swaminarayan article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! -Will Beback 22:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:SMM.JPG. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:06, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

This was a duplicate article. Please do not continue working on this copy of the Bhagwan Swaminarayan article. Sfacets 16:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
No this is not a duplicate article it has some info on Bhagwan Swaminarayan but the Shree Swaminarayan Samprday is more about that sect and the work that they do just likeBAPS if you think Shree Swaminarayan Samprday is the same than you should mearge the BAPS page aswell why dont you do that because its a differant sect just like the Swaminarayan Sampraday.
Raj - सनातन धर्म 10:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Then why does it contain almost identical content, except for a few paragraphs? Sfacets 10:34, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Because most of it is from editors of the Swaminarayan Sampraday but because this is a sect of Bhagwan Swaminarayan it needs to have some background info of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. But this can be changed.
May I suggest you move your edits to a new article which better describes the subject and thus removes any ambiguity? Sfacets 10:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
But it does not really have much ambiguity but I can re work the Shree Swaminarayan Sampraday so it is more focused on the sect and small amounts on Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Raj - सनातन धर्म 10:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
It should have a very small amount of info on Bhagwan Swaminarayan... a paragraph tops... but that still leaves the quesion of the name unresolved. Also the images used in both articles produces confusion.
A clear distinction should be made on the Bhagwan Swaminarayan article between the different sects (BAPS etc...) and this should be reflected in the structure (sections) of the article... Sfacets 10:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
This can be done the images can be changed and differnt info.
Raj - सनातन धर्म 20:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Could you explain why you inserted the entire Swaminarayan article into the Swaminarayan Sampraday article? I have removed duplicate content. Sfacets 00:08, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Gatwickmp.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. MECU≈talk 04:10, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
As for Gadhada I-41, I interpret it as Bhagwan Swaminarayan is the Supreme, and he forever resides in Akshar; this is nothing contrary to what BAPS propagates, for Maharaj forever resides within his devotee who remains in constant service of him, one of two forms mentioned by Maharaj in Gadhada I-21. Akshar manifest is Pramukh Swami Maharaj, so he resides with him fully. Again, this is my interpretation since you asked for it some time back.
Moksha88 19:42, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:GOD11.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the ((GFDL-self-no-disclaimers)) 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Spundun 05:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have started a discussion on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Images_by_User:Bhudiya2 and I would really like for you to participate. Please don't take it as an offense, I and other people here value your contribution. Thank you. --Spundun 17:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:GOD11.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. 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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Bleh999 08:10, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Muktanand Swami requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

I will inform you when things are set and the council approves for the project. As of know 4 people have signed the list and 5th should.

Where are you from? Oh and if you know anyone interested in the project notify me or ask them to sign. I would also appreciate it if you sgn my signature book.

A tag has been placed on Image:BhujMandir1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
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 [[ Talk:Image:BhujMandir1.jpg|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.

Thanks for uploading File:ThreeBridgesLodge.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like ((PD-self)) (to release all rights), ((self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL))
(to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.
