List of universities in India

Please discuss the change to galleries of images at the talk page if you really think it is better. You might want to note thought that the list is about to be split per consensus at the talk page, so it might not be such a bright move to make changes now. Best regards and happy editing. --Muhandes (talk) 12:43, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, I believe the split as it is now is the best possible one as the segregation has been done state-wise. I feel the page needs to go under few format editing. Please advise me on this. tausif r (talk) 14:35, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

My advice is, again, to discuss the change at the article's talk page and not to edit war. It is against the current consensus, which is that images belong to the right of the tables. --Muhandes (talk) 19:00, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

My apologies for the low-level of understanding I had. Well, I guess placing the images towards the right-hand side of the table will look better, if both images and tables are adjacent to eachother. It was a bit disturbing seeing the empty space above the table. Do you suggest the images remain the same way as it is? -tausif r (talk) 05:37, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

No problem, we were all new once. I'm not sure what white space you are referring to. I am working on two machines, one a large screen on my desktop and one a small 10 inch laptop, and both show the images to the right of the tables, without any empty space above the tables. My guess is that everyone else sees it that way since this is the standard way of illustrating tables. Could be some rendering oddity, both my machines use firefox. --Muhandes (talk) 09:23, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it is the rendering problem with my browsers. I checked with my office machine, Its fine. -tausif r (talk) 09:32, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, if you have any queries or need assistance, feel free to leave me a note at my talk page. Best regards and happy editing. --Muhandes (talk) 11:33, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

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 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 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 Part One of the Assessment Guide. 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 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.

Big Self Article

Hi again, so I re referenced the article is this ok for submission? I have magasine clippings from magasines around in the 80's that have since closed down and aren't really anywhere to be found online. Is there anyway I can scan them and use them as references for the article would that improve the chances of the article being accepted?

Hello Stausifr, You edited my article about Big Self and said that I didn't put the article into context. I have lots of references in the article from a few different sources, the band played on John Peel's Show and were featured in Self Aid which was a big festival in Ireland, They're music was featured as the title music for the RTE show Vision Eyes and they were critically acclaimed by several UK music magazines. All these facts are referenced so I don't understand why the article was not accepted if there's anything else I need to do please let me know!

List of Kongu Vellalars

Please would you consider self-reverting at List of Kongu Vellalars. Talk page consensus is not required for the removal of unsourced material, and all of the material added by Aswinjerry was a reinstation of stuff that had been removed previously because the only sources provided do not verify that most basic of thing: that the people listed were in fact Kongu Vellalars. This article has been kept under review by a few admins and they have never once challenged my actions, whereas Aswinjerry was blocked as a sockpuppet etc. If in doubt, you will find copious edit summaries showing an almost line-by-line removal from some weeks ago. - Sitush (talk) 11:55, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Clear Books AfC review

Hello! You were reviewing my submission of Clear Books. Currently this article is in WP:AFD, and another editor states that the AfC submission was "closed" by me. Could you please make a statement on this topic in AfD discussion. Furthermore, as you already reviewed the article, some editors in the linked discussion believe that you found the topic notable enough for inclusion. If this assumption is wrong, your comment will be much appreciated. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 19:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

The issue with passing submission is solved, though your comment on topic's notability still would be appreciated. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

A.W. Smith Law Building Edits

You left the following message on our A.W. Smith Law Building submission: "This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner."

Is there any way you could specify which parts of the article you believe contain opinions or original research? We like our article and do not want to get rid of more than is necessary. If you could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it!

Jeannine Edwards -article not neutral

Hi, Thanks for reviewing my first article submission to Wiki. It was about a US TV personality, Jeannine Edwards. My submission was rejected for lack of neutrality. I was wondering if you could help me either by pointing out where it was not neuteral or by just editing it tp make it neutral.

I'd like to see something on Wiki--she is afterall very well known in the TV horse racing world ( my hobby). It seems odd that there is no page for Edwards, since she is mentioned in so many other pages on Wiki.

Thanks again for taking the time to review my suggested page. Thinker8 (Thinker8 (talk) 14:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC))

I just saw that you declined the wiki article about Darrell S. Freeman. I did not understand your feedback about the article being a test article. Can you clarify what this means and how I can improve the article?

As an aside, there are several bios on wiki that have less substantive information. For example, few content and even fewer citations. I'm confused as to why this article was rejected.

question on my recent article submitted on 19 April 2012

Hi Stausifr,

I submitted an article on 19 April 2012. It was rejected and I want to know why and what should I do to make it considered accepted by Wiki. Please advise

Regards, SammiSammichan (talk) 15:44, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I am going to protest this. There are many people on Wikipedia who did not accomplish 1/10 of what Emmy Lichtwitz Krasso did. She was part of the Vienna renaissance of the early 1900s, and her work is in major museums. Her paintings and life sketches of Gandhi are not only important as art, but as historical documents. She is slso connected to Franz Cizek, a major influence on European and American art education. If the only artists on Wikipedia are the really famous, there won't be a true picture of the history of art and art movements. And there are plenty of citations/references on her page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mceyes (talk • contribs) 17:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I will continue to improve this article.

Wikipedia article about Imran Hassan

I apreciate your comment. The problem is that this musician is very popular among twin cities and considering you are a Pakistani he's also been interviewed by Nadia Khan and Sadia Afzal because of his outstanding achievements. There was a survey held by Geo TV about famous RJs n he topped the list. Unfortunately the only way i can prov ethis by sharing the links of the whole program on youtube. In our country TV channels don't keep archived programs because of their poor management of their web-sites. The only reason I decided to right an article about him in first place was because I saw Wiki articles about Pushto duo Junaid and Ismail and the only links their are youtube and fb also plz reconsider my application or suggest me something in this regard Maha Nadir — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnad96 (talk • contribs) 08:44, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Something you moved

Hey Stausifr, I just noticed an article that you accepted. I have reverted it because the references were not really all that good, and the article itself contains many unreferenced statements. Feel free to move it back if you want, but I would rather you let me know if you are going to, as the article should not be live in its present state.

Dear User,

I am partially unclear as to resolving the "reliable sources" for the 'CernySmith Assessment' article.

This was mentioned: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."

In terms of the "reliable sources" definition, if the creators of the CernySmith Assessment wrote this article on it, would the article be approved?

I apologize for this inconvenience.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Thaandavam film poster.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Thaandavam film poster.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

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. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. tausif(talk) 13:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Needing Article Submission Assistance

Hi Stausifr,

My name is Montana, and I am intern. I have been asked to get a wikipedia article published about a building. I have tried to edit this article several times so it does not sound like an essay as you pointed out that it did, but I am still struggling. If you could give me any pointers or point me to an informative template I could use or really just anything! It would help me so much. This is becoming an urgent issue, and as I am not familiar with this process or Wikipedia at all, I could use all the help I can get. I would really appreciate it if you could contact me via e-mail at mgvww3@mail.missouri.edu. I am not even sure how I would check a reply from you on Wikipedia. Thank you so much for your time.

Articles for Creation is desperately in need of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors and administrators alike, to help us clear a record backlog of pending submissions. There is currently a significant backlog of 1120 submissions waiting to be reviewed. These submissions are generally from new editors who have never edited Wikipedia before. A prompt, constructive review of submissions could significantly editor retention.

Do you have what it takes?

Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
Are you (at least) autoconfirmed?
Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog.

Click here to review to a random submission_{Article selected by erwin85's random article script on toolserver.}

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 1 or 2 reviews, would be extremely beneficial.

Feedback

Hello Tausif,

I have added some citations as news from Times of India and Deccan Herald about launch of the project which contains the remaining details and references. Other renowned newspaper links were difficult to find as most of them scrap old links. Please tell me if this is ready so that I can move it to AfC and please tell me if there is a better way to present references and external links.

Moreover, I would like to know what is the basic difference between external links and references. When we are mentioning external links in references as well.

Here is the article link again http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Janaadhar_Constructions_Pvt._Ltd.

Sorry to disturb you time and again.

JanShu (talk) 17:51, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tausif,

I have submitted my Article for Creation again after adding references from Times of India and Deccan Herald and quite a few other news agencies which can be trusted.

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Janaadhar_Constructions_Pvt._Ltd.

Please do have a look. And thanks for all the help. I look forward to contributing more towards Wikipedia.

JanShu (talk) 05:00, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Moreover, how to delete previous revisions if I have made changes after submission for review as well?

JanShu (talk) 05:18, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tausif,

I have resubmitted my article which was earlier rejected by you.

I have submitted this article for review by editors around 10-12 days back. The article hasn't been edited or moved to creation space or any movement whatsoever. I am patient enough and I would just like to know if my article has been submitted correctly.

I am really enjoying my time editing Wikipedia in the meanwhile. Please provide me this support as soon as possible. JanShu (talk) 12:37, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

File:GVK-bio-logo.jpg listed for deletion

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:GVK-bio-logo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. tausif(talk) 08:53, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:GVK-bio-logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:GVK-bio-logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:28, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

AfC Decline reasons

Hi, in your decline of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Janaadhar Constructions Pvt. Ltd., you stated that "the article needs a logo to start with." This is actually wrong. Articles at AfC should not have logos because they are rarely available under free licenses and fair use images should only be applied if the article is accepted per:

"Restrictions on location. Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace, subject to exemptions. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add to it; images are linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.)". Point 9 of fair use policy

Also the lack of a logo is definitely not a reason to decline an article, as it isn't a problem with the article. The goal of AfC is to ensure that an article is in a good enough state to prevent articles being deleted, not so that it can be immediately nominated for Featured Article status. -- Mrmatiko (talk) 16:58, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

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 section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please 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 visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Files missing description details

Dear uploader: The media files you uploaded as:

are missing a description and/or other details on their image description pages. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the images may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 09:34, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Pussy (energy drink)

Hello Stausifr.

Hurt_(Nine_Inch_Nails_song)

Could you discuss the why the revert of my removal of Leona Lewis cover. This section seems to be written by a fan or her marketing team. It seems too large considering the part of the article dedicated to NIN's original and Cash's cover. It even eclipses the section on Jonny Cash's cover. Please discuss what we can do about this on articles talk page.

I am hoping you are not a fan. I am not a fan nor do I hate the the cover artist. Its just I haver heard of her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.148.125.246 (talk) 13:37, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Medicinal Chemistry Hall of Fame

Hello Stausifr, I'm writing about https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Medicinal_Chemistry_Hall_of_Fame. It was declined because "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources."

I'm not sure what additional "reliable sources" will do the job. The reference I cited is in the premier publication in the field of medicinal chemistry, The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, which has its own Wikipedia page. I note that many of the inductees listed in the Medicinal Chemistry Hall of Fame have their own Wikipedia entries. Unfortunately the Hall of Fame only turns up in newspaper articles to announce the induction of one member or another--there are no newspaper articles dealing with the Hall of Fame as an entity. Can you suggest other "reliable sources" that I should consider?

OTRS

Hi, Stausfir. I'm having difficulty locating any OTRS ticket for File:Shannon Sutherland.jpg. Are you certain that an e-mail was sent to the OTRS office and, if so, can you tell me the exact date it was sent? If we are unable to locate permission then the file will require deletion. Thanks. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 14:35, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Gary Neinstein Headshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Gary Neinstein Headshot.jpg, which you've attributed to Ruth Fernandes. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

WikiProject Articles for creation March 2014 Backlog Elimination Drive

Hello Stausifr:

WikiProject AFC is holding a month long Backlog Elimination Drive!
The goal of this drive is to eliminate the backlog of unreviewed articles. The drive is running from March 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014.

March 2014

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Sattendru Maaruthu Vaanilai, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Boys of Abu Ghraib, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Holland (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:11, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Stausifr. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Propel Consult".

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Propel Consult}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Speedy deletion nomination of Part I

A tag has been placed on Part I, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

of it being ridiculous and exclusively Indian (fulfils R3)

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Hello Stausifr. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
