Could you please add some comments on the recent discussion at: [[talk:Eskimo_words_for_snow]]. Regards, [[User:Fedor|Fedor]] 08:40, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

==The Humungous Image Tagging Project==
Hi. You've helped with the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax]], so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, [[User:Yann/Untagged Images]], which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for ''at at'' and ''the the'', non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] [[User_talk:Tagishsimon|(talk)]]

== Bengali article ==

Hello Mukerjee!

First of all, thanks for your input in the [[Bengali language|Bangla]] article. It's good to see someone actively editing different sections. I wanted to just add as a comment, however, that the romanization we've been using in the article has been made fairly systematic and consistent owing to the combined efforts of many Wikipedians to accurately describe the phonemic (not phonetic, not orthographic) system of Bengali. I noticed you reverted my edits, where I changed some of your renderings of Bengali words to reflect this romanization. I wanted to let you know that I will probably be changing these back, so as to fit with the rest of the article, and with all the other articles describing any Bengali words in English. Just thought I'd let you know - and of course if you have questions or would like to contribute to our transliteration/transcription debates, please feel free to comment on my user page. Thanks! --[[User:SameerKhan|SameerKhan]] 12:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

:Right, I am aware of the difference between transliteration and transcription (I don't have my degree in phonetics/phonology for nothing!). If I have been sloppy about the words I've used, please feel free to edit. I believe that when a few of us were trying to devise a standard Romanization scheme for Bengali on Wikipedia, we were thinking of a phonemic representation (which is technically not transcription either, as a side note) as opposed to a letter-by-letter transliteration, which would be totally unhelpful for non-Bengalis. The idea was to represent the pronunciation of Bengali without getting into the phonetic details of IPA transcription. Anyhow, I'm sure you're aware of this and all... but one thing - please make sure that when you comment on my page, that you comment on my discussion page and not my homepage! Thanks :) --[[User:SameerKhan|SameerKhan]] 08:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

== Bangla wikipedia ==

Hi, you were fairly active in the Bangla wikipedia in the past. Now that we are promoting it greatly, it has grown a lot ... right now up to 1672 articles. If you have time, please check it out (http://bn.wikipedia.org ). Thanks. --[[User:Ragib|Ragib]] 03:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

== what you have to do  ==

i doesn't understand why you people interfere with about which you have not much knowledge.[[User:Yousaf465|Yousaf465]]

==please don't mess up Gutenberg== 
Reverts and multiple major edits of the sort I found there today do not help. I've posted the identical note on another page as well.[[User:DGG|DGG]] 06:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

==and don't mess up printing press, either==
We discussed this one once already, and once is enough. You and I and our friends took the East Asian material, formerly mentioned in small sections scattered over various pages, and gave it what was merited by its importance and stature, the page [[History of Typography in East Asia]], a title worked out through consultation. References have been made to this page from all appropriate places we could think of, and if you can find some more places for a see also:, please add them. The title is sufficiently distinctive to make the meaning of the cross reference very clear: one page is discussing one tradition, the other page is discussing  another. This is not a POV split--the POV is identical: there are two important traditions, and those who would learn about typography, should learn about both. 

The subject you steadfastly and rightly wanted to talk about did not lose by this--it gained. 
Consolidate the gains, and write some more about it on its page, instead of repeating the same few paragraphs on many pages.  I will gladly read what you edit, so I can learn more. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that the EA article should be considerably longer, have more quotes from EA sources in translation, have a more detailed history, discuss the technology in greater detail, discuss the organization of the trade, discuss more of the major printed works, discuss the spread of the printed works into neighboring countries if there is documentation, have associated short biographical sketches of all the major participants, and a longer list of suggested English-language readings.   

I've set out quite an agenda, but I have gathered from various comments and contributions that there are others here who can help. I cannot, but only benefit from what the more knowledgeable will write! [[User:DGG|DGG]] 03:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

== Semantics ==

[[Image:WikiThanks.png|right]] Thanks for that great [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Semantics&curid=29107&diff=88427675&oldid=87285642 expansion] of [[Semantics]]. I've been thinking it needed an overhaul like this for a while, but never got around to it because of the scope of the enterprise. I think you've done an admirable job of compressing a lot of info in a few concise and clearly worded paragraphs. It may be a little bit skewed towards Peregrin's view on things*, but I think it is a great base to build further on. Thanks again!
Keep up the great work, &mdash; [[User:Mark Dingemanse|mark]] [[User Talk:Mark Dingemanse|&#9998;]] 19:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

<small> * I'm missing the embodiment angle for example, with works like Lakoff & Johnson 1980, Lakoff 1987; and non-cognitivist Wittgenstein-inspired views on semantics like those of Sperber & Wilson and Keller (1994, 1996). But hey, I admit that that's rather whiny to say after such a great expansion. So thanks again &mdash; your work is highly appreciated!</small>

By the way, are you aware of [[WP:CSB|Countering Systemic Bias]]? It seems to relate to the discussion started [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28policy%29#Because_it_is_in_English.2C_is_Wikipedia_supposed_to_be_Euro-centric.3F|here]].

== Art & craft development v.s technical development ==

:''reposted from [[Talk:History of western typography]]:''

'''[[History of western typography]]''' is focussed almost exclusively on typographic style and practice as an art and craft, with almost no info on technical developments. That's what [[Typography]], for the most part, is&mdash;an art & craft, involving type style and design. '''Perfect'''.

Movable type and typefounding are dearly written-about as a separate subject in '''[[Movable type]]''' (thanks for your additions guys!) It covers the pre-history of typefounding and technical developments in the East, but has little on developments in typographic style as an art and craft&mdash;as you would expect. '''Perfect'''.

'''[[History of typography in East Asia]]''' is much the same scope as Movable type but with far less content. It's purely technical and has next-to-nothing on developments in typographic style as an art and craft, use, page effect etc, no names of typefaces or designers. '''Not so perfect'''. There is a whole new project for editors interested in filling in this gap in [[History of typography in East Asia]]. Thanks!

Remember that it doesn't have to be perfect, and you're encouraged to ignore all rules and use common sense if it results in a better encyclopedia :)<br>

:: Why is movable typ in Korea mentioned in the entry, buy not earlier Chinese movable type? And in a entry like that, which concentrates on the history of movable type (as opposed to its workings), it is certainly worth pointing out, that ALL movable type today traces back to Gutenberg, who ''already employed the same lead, tin and antimony alloy as today'' (see EB, 2006, entry 'printing') My propostion is to leave only a single line in the entry (Movable type is the system of printing and typography using movable pieces of metal type, made by casting from matrices struck by letterpunches)[[User:Gun Powder Ma|Gun Powder Ma]] 13:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

== Woodcut ==

Once again you have messed up the page with the edit - please look at the finished article when you do an edit, to check the result. Please correct. 

I agree the article is Eurocentric. When I expanded it it from the purely technical stub I looked for stuff on Wikipedia to add but there was only the ukiyo-e article, which deals with a particular rather late genre of Japanese print. There needs to be an article on Asian prints in general (a parallel to [[old master print]]) - were there old Chinese ones? I don't even know.  I would rather someone with more knowledge did this. 

I don't agree about any renaming.  This is a technique article, one of a number feeding from printmaking; the history section here should be brief.

I will copy the last 2 paras about the article to the talk page,

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Nazrul-stamp-bangladesh.gif]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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]]).

== Metal type casting in China ==

:''reposted from [[User talk:James Arboghast]]:''
There is this paragraph at the bottom of the section (just above metal
movable type in Korea):

:''This system was later enhanced by pressing wooden blocks into sand and casting metal types from the depression in '''copper, bronze, iron or tin'''. The set of wafer-like metal stamp types could be assembled to form pages, inked, and page impressions taken from rubbings on cloth or paper.''

This belies the whole point of this section - it simply cannot be that
bronze or copper were also being cast.  
Around 1300, tin was being cast in China - the type may have been wafer-thin - it surely failed with the inks they were using then.  This sentence is too vague and   sweeping... Anyone to throw some light on this? [[User:Mukerjee|mukerjee]] ([[User talk:Mukerjee|talk]]) 00:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

:Hi Mukejee. Sorry for the delay replying to this question. I've been flat-out buried under a pile of work in real life.

:The info on casting in China came from John Man's ''The Gutenberg Revolution'', chapter 4 "Something in the air", quote, ''"The same principal was extended to make metal letters: the wood-block was pressed into sand, and the impression used as a mould for '''bronze, copper, tin, iron or lead.''' The result was a collection of thin stamps..."''

:What's so vague and sweeping about that? It's a specific regarding the materials. It may sound sweeping in being all-inclusive (of the metals), if you read it that way. I rewrote the info to avoid copyvio, but otherwise technically the meaning of the passage is equivalent to that in Man's book.

:How is it that, ''"...it simply cannot be that bronze or copper were also being cast."'' ? John Man may have got the details on casting materials incorrect, or he may have got it right. If other sources contradict his account let's have them.<br>

Whilst alternative English names are fair enough, it's not the intention for Wikipedia to be a multilingual dictionary, so I've removed the list. If you think about it, a species like [[Barn Owl]] would have a list of names in the languages of the countries in which it occurs longer than the article itself.

:I still think it's against wiki policy, but I don't want to be bloody-minded, so I accept what you have done.

::on a separate point, several of the alternative names you mention (eg fan-tailed snipe) I have never heard in the UK or elsewhere in 20 years of birding. Perhaps you could clarify when you add them whether they are former obsolete names, or, if they are still current, where they are used? [[User:Jimfbleak|jimfbleak]] 12:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

#I have Grimmett, Inskipp and Inskipp, ''Birds of India'' {{ISBN|0-691-04910-6}}, which is more recent. All I'm suggesting is that you consider adding something like "Common Snipe also called Fan-tailed Snipe in India", just as, for example,  [[Rough-legged Buzzard]] is called Rough-legged Hawk in North America.
#I'm pretty sure that the ''Podiceps'' Little Grebe is an old classification, but can't source it at present.
#Bank Myna is red-linked under [[Acridotheres]]. It is listed in Grimmett et al and Freare and Craig, ''Starlings and Mynas'' {{ISBN|0-7136-3961-X}}. Do you want me to knock up a stub for it?

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:India-today-cover-quattrochi.jpg==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:India-today-cover-quattrochi.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

== [[J. Paul Getty Award for Conservation Leadership]] ==

Hi, I just saw your new article.  It seems like a great award to have an article about.  Just wanted to point out that the main source on the WWF website says that the award was established in 2006: http://worldwildlife.org/about/gettyaward/ Now that can't be the case because they also have a list of recipients from long before 2006.  Just wondering if you knew of another source that could support the 1974 date.  Thanks, [[User:Darkspots|Darkspots]] ([[User talk:Darkspots|talk]]) 17:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mukerjee. I listed your article about [[Lakhbir Singh Brar Rode]] for deletion. I send you this message in case you may wish to change the article or debate the topic. Regards, '''[[User:Lester|<span style="color:green">Lester</span>]]''' 05:19, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
:Got your message. I hate to list an article for deletion, as I know it takes a lot of work to get an article up there. It's just that it seems a fairly weak link that he had anything to do with blowing up a plane, and the major news organizations don't appear to be following that possibility. If you think the article should stay, you may wish to post a comment [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lakhbir Singh Brar Rode|>>Here<<]] at the discussion page for its deletion. If you haven't posted on one of those pages before, check the formatting of other articles listed for deletion. Usually people start with either '''Keep''' or '''Delete''' in bold type, followed by their reasons for keeping or deleting. It won't be up to me to decide. Other people will leave comments there.

* '''[[WP:IN1-T&A08|Tag & Assess 2008]]''', an assessment drive initiated by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment|assessment department]] began on [[June 7]], [[2008]] and will be running until July 2008. Many Wikipedians have started contributing to this mammoth task. This housekeeping activity will help manage articles in better way. You can also '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment/Tag_%26_Assess_2008#.28A.29_Participants|get involved]]'''!
*'''[[Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_34#Bot_Assisted_Assessment|Bot Assisted Assessment]]''' was successfully done using [[User:Bot0612|Bot0612]] in May 2008. 1744 articles (18.5%) of all India unassessed articles were marked if they had been assessed by some other project.
*'''What's Featured and Good?'''
:*Five new articles were promoted to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] status in 2008: [[Western Chalukya architecture]], [[2007 Samjhauta Express bombings]], [[Akhtar Hameed Khan]], [[Preity Zinta]], [[Kannada literature in the Vijayanagara Empire]].
:*Two new lists were given featured list status in 2008: [[List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar]], [[List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality]].
:*There is currently [[2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra|one Indian article]] as a [[WP:FAC|featured article]] [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra|nominee]]. Two more articles, ([[Bengali language]], [[Kazi Nazrul Islam]]) are undergoing [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|featured article reviews]]. You could help save these two articles by leaving your comments or assisting the involved editors.
:*Three articles are undergoing [[WP:GAN|good article nominations]]: [[Anekantavada]], [[A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada]] and [[Santosh Subramaniam]]. 
*'''[[2008 Indian Premier League|IPL was hot]]''' on Wikipedia too!!! During the tournament, the article was among the [[Wikipedia:Most_frequently_edited_articles|most frequently edited articles]]. It is currently the only Indian article in top 100, occupying 58th spot.
*Do you know of an article that is currently underrated? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment#Requesting_an_assessment|request for assessment]]'''. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.

== [[Manu Sharma]] ==

It's a little ironic you accuse me of unilateral decisions when myself and Stifle are both redirecting the article, but you are the only one restoring it. I have addressed your points on the talk page- in fact, you have failed to reply to me. [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 17:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

::I'm still a little concerned about the issue- I can see that he has lasting significance, but I feel that the lasting significance is for the case, not for him personally. He appears to have two weak claims of notability, which, even when combined, do not, I feel, count for much. I respect you as an editor- never once has it crossed my mind that you are a poor editor or have anything but the encyclopedia's interests at heart- we've just disagreed over policy interpretation.

The best way to save an article for deletion is to get it featured.  It may be difficult in this case, but using FA methodology can't hurt. I'll copyedit the Manu Sharma article, could you please add the references? We have to move quickly before the five day limit expires.

:Your "leave a message" bit on top of this page points to the talk page of PK Niyogi. Please correct it. 
:About the article, try and avoid expanding too much of the trial on the page, especially in the lead. If it's covered in the trial page, you only need to make sure that a summary is present here focussing on Sharma. Do expand on his appeal, Ram Jeth'ni and format the sources by using the cite templates. This should blunt the opposition.

== Post AFD ==

Hi! I've heavily copyedited the article, and cited almost all sentences. What's missing is his date of birth and the number of siblings. To save an article, remember this: you have to make it as feature-article worthy as possible, and cite as much as credible sources as you can. By doing so, I effectively blunted some of the nominators original points. You write well, but sometimes the tone needs to be more encyclopedic and neutral. So, I hope to see you coming up with FAs in the future :)

I've already listed the article for GA status, let's see if it can get through. Once this passes the GA, it going to be very difficult for anyone to list it on AFD again. And if somehow, this article can pass FA, consider an AFD impossible.

Thanks for the wonderful page on [[Durga Puja 2007]]. I have updated the page by adding the [[Asian Paints Sharad Shamman]] section for that year.--[[User:Legolas2186|Legolas2186]] ([[User talk:Legolas2186|talk]]) 08:12, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

== Asian Paints Sharad Shamman ==

The Sharad Shamman page is not supposed to be for a single year's winners or for a single Puja Pandal. The logo uploaded is temporary, as soon as i find a picture of the conch award i'll upload it.

If i have to update any winner picture, i would update a pandal which has won many times, like Adi Ballygunge. Suruchi Sangha has won APSS only two times compared to 5 times by Adi Ballygunge

Hi Mukherjee, the pages for Durga Puja 2001 - 2006 are not created. I think we should create those pages and update them with pictures. Only this time period is essential as it was from 2001 that the concept of "Theme Puja" really took off.

== Symbol (formal) ==

I don't understand what you are trying to do with your new article [[Symbol (formal)]]. Symbols are just elements of the alphabet. They can be virtually anything, although we tend to think of them as things we can write on paper. They are, however, not usually ''strings'' of elements of alphabet. In other words: A symbol is not usually a string of symbols, and claiming it is certainly doesn't contribute to an understanding of the concept.

[[File:Information.svg|30px]] Hello Mukerjee! Thank you for your contributions. I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''1''' of the articles that you created   is tagged as an[[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person]]. The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Hari Shankar Tiwari]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]<!-- use [[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] for YELLOW flag -->
A tag has been placed on [[:Hari Shankar Tiwari]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]].

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] wait a while for you to add contextual material.  To do this, affix the template '''<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>''' to the page and state your intention on the article's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Empty-warn --> [[Special:Contributions/147.70.242.54|147.70.242.54]] ([[User talk:147.70.242.54|talk]]) 21:01, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Swenson-butterfly-iconograph unconscious-came-a-beauty dotumche.png]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:File:Swenson-butterfly-iconograph unconscious-came-a-beauty dotumche.png]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F9|section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the image appears to be a blatant [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:File:Swenson-butterfly-iconograph unconscious-came-a-beauty dotumche.png|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[File talk:Swenson-butterfly-iconograph unconscious-came-a-beauty dotumche.png|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  <!-- Template:Db-dbimgcopyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:IngerAlHaosului|IngerAlHaosului]] ([[User talk:IngerAlHaosului|talk]]) 19:59, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

==  k-median problem ==

I am puzzled by the difference between the [[k-median problem]] as you have described it, and [[k-means clustering]].  Your new article says the former seeks to minimize the sum of squares of the distances.  If you had said the sum of the distances, rather than the sum of their squares, then the word "median", rather than "mean", would make sense.

[[File:Redaktor Wikipedia 600px.png|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. 

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

|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.

Hi there!  This biography which you created back in 2009 could do with some proper references.  I've added a WorldCat ref and changed the "unreferenced" tag to "BLP sources" to get it off the UBLP list but I don't have time to do more.  If you could provide reliable sources, that would be a great help.--[[User:Plad2|Plad2]] ([[User talk:Plad2|talk]]) 08:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

== DYK nomination submitted for [[Manoj Pradhan]] ==
Hey. I noticed this article and felt that it was worthy to get a DYK mention. Since the article is heavily-biased towards negative facts, I submitted a neutral sounding nomination. Here it is:
<blockquote>DYK that '''[[Manoj Pradhan]]''', an [[India]]n politician belonging to the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], was elected from [[Odisha|Orissa]]'s [[G. Udayagiri]] [[Vidhan Sabha|assembly]] constituency?</blockquote>
Cheers, [[User:Mspraveen|Mspraveen]] ([[User talk:Mspraveen|talk]]) 08:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
:Sure. I've considered [[WP:BLP]] and saw there was no DYK worth mentioning about this guy. Hence I dug up the constituency from where he was elected. At least that is trivia. I referenced it too. Should pass as per my DYK experience. :) [[User:Mspraveen|Mspraveen]] ([[User talk:Mspraveen|talk]]) 12:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

== ANJALI JOSEPH  ==

Dear Mr Mukerjee, 
I just finished reading this wonderful debut novel called Saraswati Park by a prolific young author called Anjali Joseph who is and Indian from Mumbai and was surprised to find no information about her on wikipedia???

I am taking the liberty to send you some links to authenticate my claims about her.

Harper Collins her publisher
http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/Authors/8862/anjali-joseph

Amazon 
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Saraswati-Park-Anjali-Joseph/dp/0007360770

The Daily Telegraphs Top 20 under 40 novelists in England
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/7835258/Are-these-Britains-best-20-novelists-under-40.html

if you do a google search on her you will find over 200000 pages dedicated to her

:dear LL:  
: I haven't heard of her, but I encourage you to take a stab at creating an [[Anjali Joseph]] page yourself.  It is passionate people like you who matter in Wikipedia.  Just take a few minutes and start with any small page on wikipedia as template - e.g. [[Anjum Hasan]] - and copy paste it with changes to create a new page for Anj Joseph.  You can then add these links in the text as references for facts in the article. [[User:Mukerjee|mukerjee]] ([[User talk:Mukerjee|talk]]) 07:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

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].

== Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference ==

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse ([[Help_talk:Minor_edit#Should_we_remove_the_Preference_setting_to_.22Mark_all_edits_minor_by_default.22_.3F|consensus discussion]]). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was <code>true</code>. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to <code>false</code> in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way. 

For established users such as yourself there is '''[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_78#Preference_to_mark_all_edits_minor_by_default_asked_to_be_removed_in_bugzilla:24313|a workaround available]]''' involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by [[WP:MINOR]]). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of [[User:Jarry1250]], [[User:LivingBot|LivingBot]] ([[User talk:LivingBot|talk]]) 18:24, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Gopala–Hemachandra number]] ==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Gopala–Hemachandra number]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''This is a trivial variation on Fibonacci numbers, without enough independence to warrant a separate article, and the phrase "Gopala–Hemachandra number" does not appear anywhere in the mathematical literature making a redirect from here to Fibonacci also problematic. This article seems to exist only for the purpose of pushing nationalist claims of priority that are sourceable but also disputed in the literature. The Fibonacci number article has a more complete history of this dispute, so the material here does not need to be merged there.'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Gopala–Hemachandra number|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. The [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> —[[User:David Eppstein|David Eppstein]] ([[User talk:David Eppstein|talk]]) 05:32, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

== 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

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require [[WP:ASSESS|assessment]], that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012|Tag & Assess 2012]] drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012/Guide - Part 1|Part One of the Assessment Guide]].
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012/Guide - Part 2|Part Two of the Guide]] will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012|Tag & Assess page]]. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

A tag has been placed on [[:Breach Candy Swimming Club]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag.

== Help on Articles ==

I created the article [[Prabodh Chandra Sengupta]] and posted the little I know about him though I am sure there is plenty reasons to belief the coverage can be improved. Going through the diverse field of your edits I am fairly convinced you will surely not upset me. I have become literally a fan of you. Please help me finding source for the biography of the [[Shahi Imam]] of [[Tipu Sultan Mosque]] [[Maulana]] [[Noor ur Rahman Barkati]]. I want to include in the article his involvement in [[Politics]] with [[Mamata Banerjee]]. There is much to be done in the field of [[Politics of India]] and [[Indian mathematics]]. Please help.

:Hi Solomon, I have semi-retired from wikipedia for more than a year now. I only login from time to time. [[Prabodh Chandra Sengupta]] was completely unknown to me - but his works are so unavailable - both in print and in e-media. we need to try to scan them and put them up if we can (it's now 50+ years since authors death in 1962). I agree with you completely... we need to do more on Indian politics. Perhaps a user group would help. As for the other names, I am not really aware of the links to mamata etc. Re: news on Mamata, I feel an article should be there on the killing of police officer Tapas Chowdhury, where the murder was seen live on TV, and the MLA Munna.

== References for the Nachiketa article ==

Mukerjee, I noticed you added a list of items in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nachiketa Nachiketa article] that also appear in Gupta, R. K. “Soul, The Eternal Being,” ''Spirituality and Us'', 2014, [http://spiritualityandus.org/2014/09/14/soul-the-eternal-being/]. By now, it is possible Gupta quoted Wikipedia without reference, but you gave no reference for the list, either. Do you have a reference? If not, do you think it is appropriate to use gupta?

Someone later changed all of the "self" to "soul" in the list, again without reference. I can change that and add the reference, but I hate to get into an area about which I know nothing. [[User:Tom Butler|Tom Butler]] ([[User talk:Tom Butler|talk]]) 23:49, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Vācaspati]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
*It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See [[WP:CSD#A1|section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content.
*It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.''), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Vācaspati|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=V%C4%81caspati|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]].

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[Arun Mukherjee]] has been [[WP:BLPPROD|proposed for deletion]] because it appears to have no references. Under [[Wikipedia:BLPPROD#Objecting|Wikipedia policy]], this '''[[WP:BLP|biography of a living person]]''' will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]] that directly supports material in the article. 

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners|Referencing for beginners]], or ask at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]]. Once you have provided at least one [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]], you may remove the {{tl|prod blp/dated}} tag. '''Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.'''

== Suspension of autopatrolled permission due to inactivity ==

{{Ivmbox|Hello Mukerjee. Following [[Special:PermanentLink/1290054377#RfC: Inactivity requirements for autopatrolled|a request for comment]] in May 2025, the community has decided to implement an activity requirement for the [[WP:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled permission]]. Because your account has not edited in the last three years, the autopatrolled permission has been removed from your account. This action is purely procedural and does not affect your ability to create articles; if you return to actively creating articles, you may request that the permission be restored through [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled|the normal process]]. When returning, please consider taking some time to re-familiarize yourself with common practices and how they may have changed over the past few years if you wish to request the permission back. Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia, and we hope to see you again soon.
