== PESIT page ==
I actually found out who did the vandalism at the PESIT page today and confronted him. We had a heated argument and he maintains that some of his points are true. He wants me to start a "Criticism" section where all the points are mentioned in a proper manner and I agreed to this. What do you think?

Thanks for your reply. I think I will drop the idea. No way to provide citations.

== Glimpse of Artcile on Katrina Kaif ==
I have edited the introductory passage in the article [[Katrina Kaif]]. I have done it with utmost care, keeping in mind the harsh criticism showered upon me.

I want to you to give your valuable opinion, regarding my version of the edition and about further changes needed. This is just like a sample and preview.

I will proceed in a truthful way, if I have your consent.

== Article: Katrina Kaif ==
I have decided to edit the article on Katrina Kaif, following the lines of articles on [[Rani Mukerji]], [[Preity Zinta]], [[Kareena Kapoor]] etc. 

You have given me a glimpse of my mistakes in the previous edition regarding the same article, and I'll try to make the article in a very encyclopediac and appealing manner.

I will include suitable references and reviews by Taran Adarsh of indiaFM, rediff and indiaglitz, like in the articles mentioned above.

Hope you guide me proficiently.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Tejas.B|Tejas.B]] ([[User talk:Tejas.B|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tejas.B|contribs]]) 05:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Orphaned fair use image (Image:SimputerLogo.gif)==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:SimputerLogo.gif]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[WP:O|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see [[Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy|our fair use policy]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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. Note that any fair use images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you. This is an automated message from [[User:BJBot|BJBot]] 02:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your valuable suggestions on the article [[Katrina Kaif]], which I edited upto a large extent. I hope it remains encyclopediac to the maximum possible extent.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:HaraldWelte.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] and then go to [[:Image:HaraldWelte.jpg|the image description page]] and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[WP:CSD#Images/media|Criteria for speedy deletion]].

==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:SimputerLogo.gif]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:Image:SimputerLogo.gif]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found  [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:SimputerLogo.gif|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.  Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Phenom NLS2003.jpg==
Thank you for uploading '''[[:Image:Phenom NLS2003.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]].

==Proposed deletion of Phenom (band)==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]
A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[Phenom (band)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).  You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:Phenom (band)|its talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:Omarcheeseboro|Omarcheeseboro]] ([[User talk:Omarcheeseboro|talk]]) 18:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

== Phenom ==

:The comment you left on my talk page was hostile. Please don't try to teach me the right way to edit Wikipedia, friend, I've been on Wikipedia a while. There is no OWNERSHIP of articles. Relax. Read [[Wikipedia:OWNER]].
:There is no reason for someone who wants an edit to the article to ask your kind permission before doing so, just because you created the article or whatever. My edits to the article were good faith. A mess of original research is hardly the right way to keep a good article. The question is - do you want an article or an advertisement?
:Since you appear to have problems, the whole history section is pretty much OR, not a single citation and pretty much filled with "opinions". Wikipedia is not a forum to air your personal opinions.
:I'll assume good faith and give you time to fix the article if you would like. Please add citations and remove the advertising. [[User:Dontmentionit|Dontmentionit]] ([[User talk:Dontmentionit|talk]]) 09:48, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
::Firstly,, you don't need for the band to be active for the article to drip advertising. Surely lines like "the group went on to perform at shows and competitions several times each month, and developed quite a winning streak." without citations represent advertisement or at the very minimum a non-neutral POV. That's like saying "Obama was quite the brilliant guy in school winning many contests". Secondly, there are no talk page archives to look at. Citations requests are a seperate issue, I may as well put a citations tag on the entire history segment, which was my main problem with the article. Not only is it unencyclopedic, it is also lacking in NPOV and citations. What's more, it is fancruft. Since you have intervened, Do provide citations for the History section and cut the original research and cruft.

|style="color:#000"|
WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment|article quality]]. A number of the project's [[WP:FA|featured articles]] underwent [[WP:FAR|featured article reviews]] over the past year. Of these, [[Darjeeling]] and [[Flag of India]] survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, [[Gangtok]], [[Harbhajan Singh]], Darjeeling and [[Mysore]] were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as [[Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760)]], [[Marwari horse]] and [[Iravan]] were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of [[WP:GA|good articles]], however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of [[WP:FL|featured lists]] saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16.

Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced [[CAT:BLP|Biographies of Living People]] (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/DashBot Unreferenced BLPs|565]] currently. During February-April 2010, There was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=361437108&oldid=361415052 large scale disruption] of [[Kerala]] related articles by a [[Thrissur]] based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP [[BSNL]] connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of [[Malayalam]] and [[Tamil]] film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like [[Arvind Swamy]] as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010.

After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias.

Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up [[meta:Wikimedia_India|the Indian chapter of Wikimedia]] have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a [https://github.com/srikanthlogic/WikipediaDYKTweeter bot] to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to [http://twitter.com/dykindia Twitter] was created and launched by [[User:Logicwiki]].

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while [[Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India]] was saved. Meanwhile, [[Chalukya Dynasty]] appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16.

The [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Replacement_for_the_late_Article_Alert_Bot|source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available]] and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that [[WP:INAA|article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject]] will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. 

The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach/Newsletter/June 2010|previous issue]] made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011.

In October there was a heated [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=393196649&oldid=392948652 discussion] in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of [[User:Wikiality123|Wiki San Roze]]'s party symbol images by [[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

*The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by [[Tamil Virtual University]] to the [http://ta.wiktionary.org Tamil Wiktionary] was completed in October. The words were donated by the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the [[World Classical Tamil Conference 2010]] (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of [http://s23.org/wikistats/wiktionaries_html.php largest wiktionaries] and has earned it a place in the [http://www.wiktionary.org Wiktionary front page logo].

== Wikimedia Stories Project ==

Hello,

My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.

I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video). 

My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.

I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!

If you are interested in participating, please contact me via my email:

vgrigas@wikimedia.org

Thank you for your time!

Victor
