Dear all ,
Thanks for compliments to Marathi Wikipedia . The reason for delay for response
from Marathi Wikipedians is currently no body at mr-wiki is counting article
count meter , people seem to be simply busy with routine edits, In fact Marathi
Wikipedia anniversary falls on 1st of May and we are 8 years young now :), but
still at this moment some how mr-wikipedians are silent about .
After being with mr-wiki for about five years , am I pleased with where mr
-wiki is today, no not at all; effective difference between say en wiki
establishment and mr-wiki is just less than two and half year and the
difference is too glaring.
When the whole world is in a make believe situation that tomorrow's every human
being is going to be English speaking , for indic wikipedians swimming against
tide is not a easy game.
The woodsare lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
that is for now and best wishes and regards to all
-Mahitgar

Hi All,
Here I am again with few queries about uploading pictures in Commons.
Problems:
1. There are many postage stamps available on eminent personalities which
are to be there in Wikipedia, but as post 1951 postage stamps are not in PD
there is no possible way to keep them in Commons, Any solutions for that?
2. There are many pictures available for eminent leaders, and many of them
are photographed before 1951, but the source is not available and so is the
date of issue. So, I was wondering if I can draw them by hand, scan and
using tool make little correction so that they won't violate the copyright.
Please suggest me if you have any better idea. I desperately want to see the
profile of the prominent people with their pictures. And how about uploading
pictures in Flikr? I have seen many pictures uploaded in Commons have the
Flikr link, and they are marked as Copyrighted in Flikr (By the same author,
I am confused, if it is in public domain or copyrighted)
3. If I have a newspaper cutting and I am not sure about the publication
date how can I find a better way than fair usage? Can I sketch by hand
seeing the published picture and upload in Commons instead of uploading in
regional Wiki?
4. If an image is uploaded is wrongly marked as Copyrighted even if the site
is not the actual source of a picture and the original picture is not
available what the picture will be called? PD/Copyrighted?
5. If some pictures are available by a State Government portal like
here<http://www.orissa.gov.in/e-magazine/Orissareview/febmar2005/englishpdf/tportraitoascbp.pdf>
is that possible to add them commons?

Not possible as of now since the license of the site is not defined. The
story is same with all Central/State government websites (except few
government department sites of Kerala Government). For us to reuse images
from a site, the license of the site should be PD or some copyleft license.
