image?
Where did File:ECCOconcert 20140221.jpg come from? Who was the photographer?

Btw, I tagged ECCO Music Concert in London with a list of some needed improvements. --Pi zero (talk) 03:33, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The photo was taken by Rajan Shanthi, my daughter who lives in Walthamstow, London. My grandson is performing in the orchestra, playing the Indian music instrument 'Mridangam'. My daughter's E-mail ID is tsivashanthi at yahoo.com - Uksharma3 (talk) 03:47, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for improving the article. I have left some feedback with my review. Currently there is an important issue — a copyright one — preventing publication, with additional questions I asked at the article talk page. Gryllida 07:30, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I have done my maximum possible within my knowledge and rewritten the article taking your questions into consideration. There is no copyright or promotional sentences now. There may be any grammatical errors but otherwise the article contains only facts. The only point that I cannot give source is the list of songs played in the concert. It was told by my grandson who performed in the orchestra. If that cannot be accepted, you can remove that sentence. Thanks in advance for approving. - Uksharma3 (talk) 00:20, 23 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm very sorry if things haven't been working out for you here. I was hoping we could help you get that article into publishable shape.  Our model of wiki-based news production can work, but the first thing we need to do for a new contributor is successfully explain how it works, and we try really hard to do that, but we don't always figure out what we most need to say to a given new contributor.


 * The biggest difficulty with your article right now, that I can see, is that a reviewer can't tell where you got the information. For example, how do you know how many musicians there were, and how many parents attended?  It also seems that, in order for the reader to understand what kind of event this was, there ought to be some indication of how big an audience this was; not that one needs a precise head count, but some idea of the size.  From the way the article is written one might think the audience consisted of ten parents, except that, on careful inspection, there were more than that because there are more than ten audience just in the picture provided.


 * Again, I'm sorry if things haven't been working out for you here. --Pi zero (talk) 11:56, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind cooperation, Pi zero. I have now placed a request both on the article and on the image pages to remove them. I am living in India and I wrote the article with the information given by my 11-year old grandson who lives in London and a member of the ECCO orchestra at Walthamstow. As a contributor to Wikipedia both in English and in Tamil, I thought I will write this story in Wikinews as it is an event and not suitable for Wikipedia, as an encouragement to the boy and his colleagues. I do not know the number of audience; neither the boy. I doubt whether even the organisers would have known the exact number as the admission was free. Now I understand your attitude. Whatever I say or do, you are determined not to allow the story to be published. I am positive you have some form of hatred, otherwise, this is not a big story that would bring about a world war if the statistics are not given correctly. I do not want to see any more of you. Sorry for this blunt statement but I think if I continue with you, I might fall ill. - Uksharma3 (talk) 13:37, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

As a reporter, it would seem you would've been able to ring the event organizer and retrieve the requested information on the event size. (If you can get that done before Thursday, that's fine, regarding the freshness.) —Gryllida 15:04, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I thank you for all what you have done, Gryllida. I have requested to remove the article. So, let us forget about this. Rgds. - Uksharma3 (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
