What's the policy for uploading Indian Postage stamps in Wikipedia/Commons? And recently I have gone through few regional language Wikis where the actual facts are changed. P.S. the English article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayadeva here and the Bengali article here.http://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%9C%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%ACWhen the English article clearly states that at the end of the controversy historians and researchers have come to an inference that Kavi Jayadeva was from Odisha there not a single line which says the same in Bengali Wikipedia. In this situation I would like to ask what would be the credibility of an article from an user's prospectives, is he going to get the right and valid info from a regional Wikipedia? * ସୁଭପାSubhashishPanigrahi ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ ___ Wikipedia Odia (Oriya) mailing list wikipedia...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or facebook.com/OdiaWiki Tweet @OdiaWiki * ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Postage Stamps upload in Commons
Hi Subhashish, Stamps are Indian govt works and retain copyright for 60 years after issual. So image of any stamp issued after 1951 cannot be uploaded to commons. It should be uploaded to the local wiki with a fair use rationale. (and under fairuse, a stamp cannot be used to identify the subject like a infobox picture, it can only illustrate the fact that a stamp was issued on the subject and the line should be in the text for that to happen) regards Bala On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Subhashish Panigrahi psubhash...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, Here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Madhu_babu_%28Madhusudan_Das%29.jpgis a Postage stamp of Madhusudan Dashttp://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%AE%E0%AC%A7%E0%AD%81%E0%AC%B8%E0%AD%82%E0%AC%A6%E0%AC%A8_%E0%AC%A6%E0%AC%BE%E0%AC%B8which was tagged for deletion, Can anyone please help me about this?

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Postage Stamps upload in Commons
Yes it applies to coins as well. Anything from pre 1951 India is in PD. Anything post 1951, GOI has the copyright. But even for old coins, if you take a photo of a single coin you cant claim copyright and add a CC SA 3.0 license (its like taking a photo of a old painting and claiming copyright). it has to be added with a PD licence. But i believe if you take a photo of an arrangement of coins (two and more), it becomes a new creative work and you can claim copyright as the photographer (i am not sure on this, just recollecting what i read in old deletion discussions in en wiki and commons). Please confirm with editors like moonriddengirl in en wiki (who are much more familiar with tricky situations like this) - Bala On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 9:47 PM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan rsrikant...@gmail.com wrote: Bala, I had a question.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] 1 user. 20 hours. 300 articles
I would like to add, that the user in question, asked the community's views (well in advance), that if it was ok to undertake such an effort. And there were other editors (including me), constantly checking, proofing, recategorising and maintaining the articles created. This was no slapdash effort. As the articles concerned were start class, we were able to monitor them easily. At least seven persons were involved in this effort - this was no slap dash mass article creation spree. It was a community effort and the tamil wiki community (which is very conservative when it comes to article size and bulk creation) was unanimously behind this effort. I dont know whether we will be able to duplicate it again, but we will certainly be encouraging such cooperative work in the future. - Bala On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 10:08 PM, Holalkere Laxmivenkatesh hrl.venkat...@gmail.com wrote: Creating 300 articles in 3 weeks... such news should make us to introspect ; surely should not be encouraged !

Behind this is a remarkable story of 1 user who created 300 articles organically in 20 hours.

He started contributing to Tamil Wikipedia from November 2010. In the short span of 5 months he has added 2000+ articles. He set himself a target creating 200 articles on 20th April but ended up creating 300 articles in 20 hours. He was helped by his wife, daughter and two colleagues in typing the articles which were mainly info based articles on cricketers, small magazines. Earlier, he even created articles from his bed when he was in a medical rest. Thought of sharing this story as it is inspiring to see people working with so much dedication, mobilising people and resources for Wikipedia.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Regarding Postage Stamps uploaded in Commons - Correct picture
Hi Ashwin: So it is completely incorrect to add any images of Indian stamps printed later than 1951 to Commons. Fair use rationale is not applicable under Indian law to the best of my knowledge, anyway with that it cant be loaded to Commons only concerned Wikipedia. And unless the article is about that particular stamp, fair use rationale won't work. I am not sure why you would say that. The Copyright Act has a fairly extensive section on Fair Dealing. Section 52 will be of interest. http://copyright.gov.in/Documents/CopyrightRules1957.pdf You might find that it would fit within a few of those. - Gautam ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
