Suggestions from SuggestBot

[edit]

Hi, I noticed you requested some suggestions from SuggestBot. Unfortunately, since you have not edited any articles, SuggestBot cannot determine what your interests are. There are a couple of ways you can tell it what you're interested in. You can specify articles or categories in the template, as described here. Or, you can go to the Teahouse's SuggestBot page and follow the instructions. Then SuggestBot should stop by with some suggestions for articles you can edit. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help you out! Cheers, Nettrom (talk) 00:56, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

[edit]

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck! (pasting Dr Blofeld's comment from my talkpage to your talkpage) Adityavagarwal (talk) 15:15, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Halloween!

Hello Simranpreet singh:
Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia, and have a happy and enjoyable Halloween!

A page you started (Cirrochroa imperatrix) has been reviewed!

[edit]

Thanks for creating Cirrochroa imperatrix, Simranpreet singh!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

As opposed to creating empty Talk pages, please add relevant project banners, e.g. {{WikiProject Lepidoptera}}, to each new article Talk as a way to ensure articles can be tracked and improved by interested editors. Adding project banners should be as regular as adding categories and stub templates.

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.

--Animalparty! (talk) 15:42, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, Thanks for letting me know about this. I'll try my best not to leave empty talk pages from now. Simranpreet singh (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

		The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar A new editor on the right path
		You have shown extraordinary work as a newcomer, already tagging articles at CSD very accurately. Also, having gotten into created new articles with keeping policies in check, you have shown a stupendous effort! Adityavagarwal (talk) 16:34, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Adityavagarwal, I feel obliged to be recognized for my works. I like to learn about the guidelines and implement them for contributing my work to Wikipedia. I look forward to learning a lot from veteran editors, like you, here. :) Simranpreet singh

Help

[edit]

Sir, please guide me more on editing Wikipedia. I am waiting for your suggestion. Kindly remove the tag that you had placed on my account. And I promise you that I will create a new page as per Wikipedia policies. As I am a new user I wish you may know my problems.

Ajju Singh Rana (talk) 07:38, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ajju Singh Rana, as I can see from user talk:Ajju Singh Rana, the userpage was requested for deletion which lead us to further processing, done according to the deletion policy used. Tags are important to notify other editors/users about the purpose they are placed there. It is not recommended to remove them without proper approach.

As already mentioned on your talk page, it'd be better if you start your editing journey from WP:Tutorial and WP:The Wikipedia Adventure.

Happy editing! Simranpreet singh (talk) 16:57, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CSD G1

[edit]

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that your addition of a G1 template to User:Koosgreeff/sandbox was improper, mainly due to the fact that G1 does not apply to the userspace. Hope this helps...

TJH2018 talk 18:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey TJH2018, thanks for letting me know about it. I missed out that line while reading about G1, I guess. Though that puts me in a confusion about what to use for such cases, as I used G1, mainly, for gibberish text and I think I haven't read any way to deal with it yet. Thanks! Simranpreet singh (talk) 17:01, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd recommend putting it through translate.google.com and seeing if you find anything promotional in it. If a userpage is that long, it's usually some sort of promotional text. Always double-check before you CSD it...TJH2018 talk 17:18, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't garbage text (as, I think, content written in any other language than English is of no use to English Wikipedia) enough to charge the page under a deletion policy? What useful can converting the content to English would become, if no one, familiar to language, would be able to understand it? Pinging TJH2018. :) Simranpreet singh (talk) 06:06, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bersin Edit

[edit]

Hello,

Why did you revert the edits I made to Alan Bersin's biography. All of the content I added was accurate, and in fact far more accurate than the old page. Further, I provided extensive sourcing to news article and reputable sources. Please let me know what the issue is, but the content was all accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.171.155.34 (talk) 20:45, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, I'll get to you on your talk page. :) Simranpreet singh (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for your prompt response. I responded on the other talk page; I'm unaware if you receive notice of my response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.171.136.235 (talk) 16:51, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, my follow up to your response remains unanswered. The Alan Bersin biography you reverted the page to contains numerous inaccuracies and is incomplete. If you are unable to assist, please advise on appealing your decision. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.208.134 (talk) 14:18, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi Simranpreet singh. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 00:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages.

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and

(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

Packet-switching node

[edit]

Regarding your speedy deletion tag on packet-switching node: please be aware that there is no copyvio regarding US government documents; they are in the public domain. Please be careful with your tagging. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anachronist: Apologies for my lack of observation. I barely knew there are government pages in public domain (never researched about this thing before). If I may ask, is there a way to find the copyright of a particular website, I am curious to read about it more. Thanks! Simranpreet singh (talk) 06:15, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any material that is produced by the US government isn't subject to copyright. So anything you find on a .gov site will be OK to reproduce. Exceptions would be if the government itself reproduces copyrighted material with permission of the copyright holder. See https://www.usa.gov/government-works for more details. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:01, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Yu Lun, and I’m from the Wikipedia Asian Month International Team. It’s a great pleasure to meet you and see the effort you have put into the previous edition of WAM. Thank you!

Meanwhile, as a WAM organizer, we will put you on this mailing list (https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wam-announce) that is exclusively for organizers only. We will keep emails from that list to a minimal. But feel free to let us know if you wish to not be subscribed.
