thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Magsaysay award medal.gif

message: The idea of planting trees as windshields in coastal areas post tsunami came from some foresters in the  Tamil Nadu Forest Department (TNFD). This idea had been  tried earlier, but failed due to violent opposition from the fishing community: who reside and dry their nets and catch in the coastal areas, which were marked for plantation. Post tsunami the idea was revived, through newspaper articles written by forest officers in English dailies.A project plan was drafted  by a  rural management professional and a forest officer, working  through an TNFD supported NGOthe Society for Social Forestry Research and Development, Tamilnadu. This project went through the bureaucratic channels, was officially sanctioned - and funded by the World Bank,through an ongoing project around tsunami reconstruction in the year 2005. Due to the experiential realisation that mangrove plantations actually protected coastal villages,and good village extension work by the foresters working with  the fishing community villages, this project was implemented successfully. All these documents would be available from the archives of SSFRDT, TNFD and the World Bank aided tsunami project. Dr.M.S.Swaminathan has had  a lot of successful accomplishments: and deserves the greatest respect. But the idea of planting trees as a  coastal windshield post tsunami cannot be credited to him. I hope there would be no objection if this particular statement is removed from the list of notable achievements. Anant (talk) 09:57, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  A Commons file used on this page has been nominated for speedy deletion 

message: ; Hi, please could you help me understand some changes you made to references under 'further reading':
* Why did you remove the link to "M.S. Swaminathan: One Man's Quest for a Hunger-free World".?
* Why were the links to Google Books removed?
* Quinn, Kenneth M. - Why was this author link removed?
* Why were the links to Quinns JSTOR hosted article as well as World Food Prize hosted article removed?
* Language parameters for Tamil and Hungarian biographies?
Is this just making the references less text and link heavy, and removing links to urls with limited access and urls which do not adequately show that they have permission to host the content? However, some of the links you have added are not very helpful such as the new links for Quinns article in Current Science.

replies: text: Jstor is a parameter. we don't need both the URL and the parameter to the same place. Similar story for the google books link. Nothing in the general google books page is validating anything from the article as there is no preview. The ISBN link provides a much wider array of options to get to book content. Also some URLs were actually copyright issues as they were full copies not hosted by the publisher who was actually charging for copies.  — Chris Capoccia 💬 13:40, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
