Reassessment of article Kulpahar

I do believe that data on Kulpahar is not up-to the mark but that is what is expected from a B-class article. I know that Hospitals section just have names of the hospitals I don't have any references of them, now how to authenticate them. At most I can put the services offered by them, the same is the case with Banks and treasuries. If you could have a look at article Allahabad then you'll find that article in the same tone, but that article has been rated as B-class just because it is a well known city of India? Either that article should be downgraded to start-class or all the articles of the same tone should be upgraded to B-class. It is almost impossible to put references about a lesser known places. i put two book references about Kulpahar those I could found only after extensive googling of more than 2 years (few months back there wasn't any book reference available on google). There are many books which describe Kulpahar but contains no ISBN number and I found them irrelevant and providing references of those book doesn't comply to standard. Let me know if I'm moving in a wrong direction. --Rohit Saxena (talk) 13:35, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Added more references on the article page. Kindly review it.--Rohit Saxena (talk) 20:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Just checkout Allahabad Article it has only 3 references but still managed to get B-class article status. Why this biased judgement??--Rohit Saxena (talk) 20:28, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Other Mangalore names

When googling the names I only got results from Wiki mirror sites, if you have the correct web or even offline references like say from a book please insert it there using templates as per Wikipedia:Citation templates. Meanwhile like earlier I have not deleted the passage, I have only marked it off so that it can be reinserted by removing the mark off tags (or whatever they call it)--PremKudvaTalk 10:33, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Infant Jesus

You should also add the Infant Jesus annual feast to Mangalore culture section. That is another big Roman Catholic festival which is popular to non-catholics too. Devotees throng Infant Jesus shrine--PremKudvaTalk 04:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Promotional content

Hi. You are not permitted to add promotional content, regardless of any considerations (at the event, there is no 300-word requierment, anyway). Please cease reverting, or you may be subject to censure. More talking, less reverting nonneutral, poorly-spelled additions. Thanks. El_C 11:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

If you feel that strongly that this film company is that important to the city article so as to warrant mention, please try to gain consensus for its inclusion on the talk page. We do not ordinarily include companies that are in "their infancy," irrespective of their "potential." If the claim is true, once their potential is actualized, then it can be included in the article. Discussion is key, however. Back and forth reversions are unhelpful. El_C 11:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Hey,

Great job with the Essel World and WaterKingdom additions as well as the Bombay Darshan addition. I totally forgot they even existed! Thanks to you, I have added them to the tourism of mumbai template. Nikkul (talk) 20:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Poverty of India Image

Beggar in Bodhgaya

There is a discussion going on regarding whether or not the following image should be a part of the Poverty in India page. Most Poverty in *Country* pages do not have any images, at most 1. User:Otolemur crassicaudatus has brought many images showing extreme poverty in India and has tried to mislead people into thinking this is the way a majority of poor Indians live. There is a vote in which your input would be appreciated. You can find this discussion here

I feel that the the Bodhgaya Beggar image does not represent poverty in India correctly because:

  • The beggar in Bodhgaya image does not accurately depict poor people in India because they do not look like this. This man is an exception. To say that this man represents all poor people in India is very wrong. A small minority of Indias poor are disabled. Most living under the poverty line work long hours fishing, farming or as construction workers. This picture shows a man whose legs have been broken. Unless a majority of India's or even a fraction of the poor have legs like this, the image is irrelevant and undue to the poverty in india page.
  • Poverty and Disability are not connected in any way. There are thousands of super rich people who are disabled.
  • There are 11 country articles on poverty
  • This user is being uncivil and unyielding.
  • This image is being used by User:Otolemur crassicaudatus to display his dislike of India and to mislead people into thinking that this is the plight of millions of poor Indians. This user has often added images showing extreme poverty to many India relating articles.[1] Even though this user knows that poverty is present in every country and that extreme poverty is not a fair representation of the Indian economy, this user has previously tried to add an image of children washing their clothes in a mud puddle to the economy section of the India page. This user has added this image to the poverty section of the Economy of India page, when a graph showing poverty would make more sense.
  • WP:Undue says:
We should not attempt to represent a dispute as if a view held by a small minority deserved as much attention as a majority view. Views that are held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views. To give undue weight to a significant-minority view, or to include a tiny-minority view, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute.

This can be applied to this because a very tiny fraction of poor people in India are disabled. Most work very hard trying to make a living for themselves. This image is misleading. Nikkul (talk) 02:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Kensplanet, in your talk page this user has made wild accusations on me. I will request you please read the relevant sections on Talk:Poverty in India to give you an inside in this user and to understand who is incivil. You please read the texts like these [2], [3], [4]. The Bodggaya beggar image is more appropriate than others because:

  • You may know, many beggars live a condition like this, many of them have various disabilities.

There is no "typical" definition of poverty, or beggar. There are abled beggar, disabled beggar. The purpose of the article is depicting poverty. The other beggar images which this user want to place deleting the Bodhgaya beggar image are not good quality, one is B&W, and the other depicting a beggar girl in Ladakh. But my objection here is that Ladakh is quite different from rest of the country because of its geographics. Majority Indians live in plain. And this Bodhgaya beggar image is showing poverty at its most extreme level. It is not right to conceal the situation of poor men like this, it is the truth, the reality. This image touches the heart of the reader, which is a real situation. Yes not all beggars are disabled, but is this an argument? On the other hand it also can be said that not all beggars are abled. Our job here is not to understand who is abled, or who is not. But to find a good image which is representative of many.

  • This user is repeatating his arguments and has taken a densive position by his ad hominem attack on me. Any one do not agree with him, here I am trying to depict poverty, and he is labelling me as Indophobic. There are other editors who honoured me for my contributions. The only reason given against this image that "since all beggars have not messed up legs, this image is undue". But it is an anti-individualistic argument. So what if not all beggars do not have messed up legs? The fact is that such secenes is a reality and it would not be right to conceal it. Such scenes exists, it is the truth. If it is reality, if such scenes exits, then an article depicting poverty i.e. "the condition of lacking full economic access to fundamental human needs such as food, shelter and safe drinking water", only those images should remain which clearly illustrate this fact.
  • This user has informed many partisan editors, like User:Bakasuprman about the image. This user also informed this to banned Hkelkar socks. I will also request you check this user's contributions. Please remember the article is not about India, but the article is about poverty. This article is not depicting India, depicting poverty in India. So such image is not deriding India, it is illustrating the poverty in India. This image, I think, will be very appropriate. I have told you why I am supporting the includsion of this image. Regards.

Request

You've done some good work recently, but please be very careful of WP:OR and WP:RS. Everything should be impeccably sourced. Relata refero (talk) 15:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Roman Catholicism in Northern Cyprus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of 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. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Peer review feedback

Hi, I noticed you have a request in at peer review which has not yet received any response besides the semi-automated script. Have you tried requesting a peer review from the volunteers list? Another idea you might want to try is to review someone else's request (particularly one from the list of requests without responses), then ask that they look at your request. Hope these are helpful suggestions and help to get some feedback for your request soon, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Team Welcome!

Thanks for your application to join the WikiProject India Assessment Team - a very hearty welcome!

During your welcome phase, please note that your assessments and comments are likely to be monitored to ensure that all articles are assessed in the same way, and I will give you feedback where I think it's necessary so that you know what else to include in your comments/considerations. More importantly, it's so that you know what to include when you assess articles in the future (although, I still haven't had a chance to update with you feedback as yet). Once the welcome phase has passed, I will only check your assessments/comments every now and then (to check for consistency between assessments/comments). The only time in which an assessment of another assessor may be overruled is when the main assessor feels that there is some inconsistency, but I am likely to leave some additions/comments on the page of why I feel the change is needed.

At this stage, I think your skills are better utilized as a peer-reviewer, as your most recent one was reasonably detailed, and the best part is; peer-reviews do not need to be consistent with each other. I have added your name to the peer-review team. There are already several articles listed there - feel free to go through them, as there haven't been many peer-reviews for a while here.

Wish you all the best as a member of the WikiProject India peer-review department - Ncmvocalist (talk) 02:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Anand (2004 film)

Rightful recepient of the award

Hi Ken,

The barnstar you awarded is accepted with grace. But you are the rightful recipient for actually having done all the footwork to bring the article up to GA status. Till then all we used to do was just keep on adding stuff to the article.

So

The Mangalorean Star
This Barnstar is awarded to Kensplanet for his good and enterprising work in honing the Mangalore article, and successfully elevating its status to Good Article. Good job Ken!

Replaceable fair use Image:13038.jpg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:13038.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 23:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

WP India Peer Review Dept.

Hi again. A relatively new (and inexperienced) editor has approached me asking if they could join the peer review department. You will find their request at the bottom of my talk page. While we're still in the lengthy process of tweaking our assessment processes and criteria at the assessment department (like I said earlier), the peer review department (fortunately) doesn't rely on these, or on much experience.

I think as your peer reviews have been helpful, and you've kept the peer review department more active than it was before, maybe you'd like to help him out and let him know how it all works? Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Of this article itself. It is quite common to conduct a formal GA review before you pass any article. As far as I see from the article talk page, it wasn't conducted before you passed it as a GA. Please clarify. Mspraveen (talk) 10:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, but the ideal way is to first conduct the review and only then update in the project banners. Furthermore, the use of the huge images for checking for different criteria is way too huge. it takes time to load up esp. for those with dial-ups. Kindly utilize different options such as  Done using {{done}}. Cheers! Mspraveen (talk) 10:49, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi , thanks for inviting me to join WIkiproject Mangalore. I havent edited any Manglaore related article for over a year so I don't really think I belong there. You have done a great job on the articles and there are other users who are more involved in the project , so the article is in good hands. --Deepak D'Souza (talkcontribs) 11:43, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
