Embassy request

Hello. I see you are a Bengali ambassador. If you have the time or the interest, it would be great if you could add the Bengali translation of the name "Mother Teresa" in the lead of the article. I consider that given that a lot of her work was in Calcutta and considering its main language is Bengali, then probably the latter should be used. If you could provide also with the romanization of the Bengali script, its IPA, so it can be properly read in English, that would be fabulous. Cheers! Thinker78 (talk) 05:24, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

@Thinker78 hello, it is মাদার টেরেসা। However please note as per WP:NOINDICSCRIPT we generally do not add Indian language script in lead/infobox. --Titodutta (talk) 14:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 18:52, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Sources

Can you improve the sources on Tritiya Paksha. Current sources are databases. Why is the short film notable? DareshMohan (talk) 21:25, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

@DareshMohan the article is created 11 years ago. The article somehow has a wrong year in short description now, I'll fix it. This is not a 2018 movie, but a 1931 one. Most probably when I created it I was working on the oldest films of Bengali language — that era.
About sources: you might some sources at Google Books, and by searching in Bengali, use তৃতীয় পক্ষ ১৯৩১ and তৃতীয় পক্ষ অমর চৌধুরী। There should be information in old (Bengali) newspapers, magazines and physical books — but those are the toughest to find, as most of those are not available by clicks. --Titodutta (talk) 01:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Osmond Memorial Church

Hi

I understand you created the initial article for the above. Would you kindly advise where you got the article about its founder Walter Osmond?

Thanks Otmooron (talk) 14:03, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Linking Osmond Memorial Church for easy access from my mobile app currently I am using. The app does not work well while switching user talk and mainspace
@Otmooron, do you mean verification that Walter Osmond was the founder, or are you looking for more information on his life/biography? Regards. --Titodutta (talk) 01:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
I believe a Walter M Osmond was the founder according to the sign inside the church. I am interested in his life/biography. I have an ancestor Walter M Osmond who lived in Kolkata at that time and his children were baptised at Sudder Street Wesleyan Chapel, but I didn't think he was a pastor. Otmooron (talk) 04:27, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
@Otmooron ah, alright. I need to check this, and I don't have information right at this moment. Let me see if User:Shyamal can throw some light, if he knows.
BTW, (not for Wikipedia article) if you want additional information about the Church founder, possibly you may consider contacting them. Google search infograph shows a contact number, possibly they will have an email id too. --Titodutta (talk) 04:38, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
I am in email dialogue with the church administrator and have also met the vicar. They don't know but are interested in finding out more about their founder too. Otmooron (talk) 05:00, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, I know nothing about the church or the matter but here is what familysearch.org gives - Walter Marsh Osmond (15 October 1840 Salisbury, Wiltshire - 10 September 1894, Calcutta) -father noted as William Osmond (1790-1875) - mother Charity Marsh (1799-1851) - married Isabel Bangarrabie Waters (married 1 May 1866) - Children Walter William (christened 9 January 1877) - Lucie Isabella (1879-1894) - Percy Herbert (1872-1964) - Gertrude Mary Hope (born 16 June 1879 - christened 9 July 1879) - he seems to have been wealthy enough to lend money to others (see this case) - so maybe he provided funds for the Church to be built. Shyamal (talk) 08:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
PS: he was a senior partner at a building and architecture firm - Messrs. Mackintosh Burn and Co - see this - a relative (brother?) T. A. Osmond was architect and partner at the same firm. Shyamal (talk) 08:38, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Yes, the information on familysearch.org is my family. One of my cousins believes that he arrived in Kolkata in 1864/5 and started as an assistant at Mackintosh Burn & Co, becoming a partner in 1892 and a senior partner just before his death in 1894. I'm struggling to understand how in 1868 at the age of 28, having been married for only 2 years, and just starting a family (Walter W. born 1868), he was wealthy enough to be able to fund the building of a church as there was no old family wealth. When the Wikipedia entry mentioned the OMC founder was a Methodist missionary evangelist and social worker I was keen to find the source of that information - maybe the founder isn't my ancestor, but the timing, name and baptism of the children in a Kolkata Wesleyan chapel is too much of a coincidence!

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Peer Review

Hi @Titodutta. Please take a moment to have me your inputs to this peer review. Thank you. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 19:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@25 Cents FC I may not be able to participate in a detailed review discussion, but however I can suggest/fix a few minor things on the go. For example, "Within party" table MOS:Endash needs to be fixed. Bharat Jodo Yatra, the article states it "will" end on 20 March in Mumbai. Has not the Shivaji Park event taken place already? Anywhich way, this needs to be updated in a couple of days. The Yatra, was it started by RG or INC?, might be a point of discussion. These are some initial comments.

WikiProject India Newsletter

Hey, I'm thinking to pick up WikiProject India newsletter if possible. Not a monthly one prolly, but mayb a quarterly one? Any pointers? — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 20:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

@The Herald Hello, that's an interesting idea. Possibly one option (workflow) might be: 1) informing the noticeboard 2) gather a few interested people who would like to contribute, 3) make a draft for August gathering the recent news and updates. (note, this is a brief response, sent using a mobile device. I'll be happy to answer any specific question) --Titodutta (talk) 06:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

  • I am not interested in this survey because WMF, in general, does not care about feedback (please see various threads on Wikimiedia–l mailing list, or at WP:VPWMF.
