Picture of the day

The Book of Fixed Stars (Arabic: كتاب صور الكواكب kitāb suwar al-kawākib, literally The Book of the Shapes of Stars) is an astronomical text written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) around 964. Following the Graeco-Arabic translation movement in the 9th century AD, the book was written in Arabic, the common language for scholars across the vast Islamic territories, although the author himself was Persian. It was an attempt to create a synthesis of the comprehensive star catalogue in Ptolemy's Almagest (books VII and VIII) with the indigenous Arabic astronomical traditions on the constellations (notably the Arabic constellation system of the Anwā'). The original manuscript no longer survives as an autograph, however, the Book of Stars has survived in later-made copies. This image from the book shows the constellation of Orion, in mirror image as if on a celestial globe, and is from a copy in the Bodleian Library dated to the 12th century AD.Ilustration credit: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi

Hello Amar, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for all your good work on mathematics and physics topics.

You've probably already seen them, but if not, you might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: How to edit a page, Tutorial, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should probably read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Again, welcome! -- ALargeElk | Talk 08:38, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Paying it forward

Hi Amar. Rather rudely, I've only just noticed your response on my talk page, 5 days late. Sorry about that.

You ask how you can "pay it forward". One option is to join the welcoming committee, to greet other new Wikipedians. You're not committing yourself to anything - just offering to look out for anyone new and say hello when you spot them (I always keep half an eye on Special:Recent changes for any logged-in users with a blank talk page). Or, just keep doing good editing and creating good articles - that's every bit as important as all the administrative and community tasks.-- ALargeElk | Talk 15:12, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote arccos instead of cos. CSTAR 16:10, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Rama and supposed 'POV'

I don't know how you thought "completely different perspectives of the same figure, religion or philosophy can both find justification in the same divine personality" this was POV. I personally found it weird that the discussion of Hindutva was there at all, and how they used Rama as inspiration, so I removed it. Later on, it was replaced and people said I was being biased. So I added Gandhi's relationship to show the diametrically opposed nature of their perspective. It's true that the more militant view of a bow-toting Rama is quite different from Gandhi's passive resistant inspiration. Explain your removal and how you think this sentence is POV. Frankly, if that sentence is POV, those criteria demand the whole 'perspective' section be removed. --LordSuryaofShropshire 16:28, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

Help

The article on the philosopher Stuart Hampshire says (towards the end) that he was married to the philosopher Nancy Cartwright. The name Nancy Cartwright has an internal link, but it takes you to the page on an American actress of the same name. Could you please do the disambiguation thing here? I don't know how to. Thanks.

IS THIS HOW YOU WANT ME /MSG YOU?

Thank you for the prompt reply, much to my dismay I still havent been able to figure out how to get added onto the indian community at Wikipedia:Indian wikipedians' notice board

Also i really don't get it, what is the sandbox? Do i need to use it?
Also can i put up my write-up's from another site onto wiki, since i don't think that would make it plaigarism !
Also i hope you will be patient with my queried fuddled up mind..seriously im not as dumb as I may sound

Image:Rumtek

Hi! Please DO NOT upload new images over older unrelated one. You had uploaded Image:Rumtek.jpg over my image. This is against wikipedia rules. You would have to upload it under a new file name. I have reverted the image and the licencing. PS How was your trip to Sikkim? =Nichalp «Talk»= July 8, 2005 19:03 (UTC)

Are they all Lamas or just monks?

In your Image:Lamas_Rumtek.jpg are they really all' Lamas, or are some just monks? Billlion 12:44, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• I was under the impression that 'lama' meant a monk ... I might be mistaken of course. The people in the orange costumes in the image are monks, whatever they are. Amar 11:04, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

IITK Motto

Hi Amar,
Adding the Infobox was a nice idea. But, I have doubts abt the motto Through doubt to obfuscation. If I remember corretly its probably tamso ma jyotirgamaya, though I am not sure. Kindly make the required changes. Gaurav1146 13:39, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• • Hi Gaurav, actually I'm quite sure the motto which is there is quite right. Amar 15:38, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Kawabata

Hi, I have added The Lake to Kawabata's works. I found that there is already an internal like to this title and it takes you to a British play. Could you plz do the disambiguation thingy here too? Regards Varada

Katharine Hepburn

Hi there, I noticed that you changed The Lake to The Lake (play) off this article, indicating in your edit summary that you were disambiguating. But The Lake isn't a disambig page; it's about the play. Or were you planning on making it into a disambig? Sorry if I left this too quickly! I just noticed this pop up on my watchlist. · Katefan0^(scribble) 21:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• I moved The Lake to The Lake (play) and set a link to Yasunari Kawabata's book to The Lake (novel) - the disambig was supposed to take care of that. Amar 21:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• • Err .. could you please wait before I finish editing please ? Thanks. Amar 21:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Wait for what? I haven't done anything but leave you a polite inquiry. · Katefan0^(scribble) 22:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vasundhara Das

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vasundhara Das, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by 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'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 deleting administrator. ∯WBG^converse 10:35, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
