Wiki Loves Monuments - Pakistan | ||
---|---|---|
Wiki Loves Monuments comes to Pakistan! Hi Titodutta! WLM is the largest international photographic competition in the world and we are looking forward to expanding it to Pakistan this year. We have been planning to make this national competition really take off; but to do so, we need your help! Sign up at Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in Pakistan and our mailing list if you are interested in being part of the organising team or can help spread the word. We look forward to hearing from you! |

Hello Titodutta. I see you made this move request which I was thinking of closing. You've also participated at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#2013 Bangladesh India WikiProjects dispute resolution. How about if I close your request as Not Moved, with a comment that you can reopen the request at any time if the discussion at WT:INB either makes progress or dies out with no action? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 14:53, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello Titodutta. I'm asking you this because you are apparently wise in the ways of DYK, appear sanguine, and are one of the DYK folks that I haven't insulted (I hope!) due to excessive nervousness about the DYK process, which I don't know well. (I have participated in DYK several times, think DYK is a fine thing (should be expanded to include newly-GA'd articles IMO though), appreciate the work of the DYK folks, and feel badly if I'm making extra work for anyone.)
Could you help me understand -- and even keep me updated, if you would -- on the status of the proposed DYK for Wikipediocracy. Last I saw it was moved to Prep Area 3 (which I'm still a ittle fuzzy on what that is), but it's not there now. Where is it? It can't be nowhere I wouldn't think. I think (not sure) that it was removed from Prep Area 3 because of the AfD.
What about the RfC? If the AfD results in Keep or No Consensus (which it surely will and quite possibly should), will the RfC be ignored and the DYK nom go forward to publishing? I hope not, but I haven't really seen a positive answer to this question.
(I'm assuming that this won't happen -- The RfC looks reasonable, and there's no consensus that such RfC's aren't valid where I have asked, and I'm confident that the DYK folks are men and women of good will and subtle thought -- but just in case (I told you I'm nervous about all this!) if you are "in" with the DYK folks, could you communicate that if it does happen, this would make me feel pretty badly done by and I would likely push the matter to some form of further discussion (which I hope nobody wants). You have my permission to preface any communications in this regard with "Yes, I know he's been acting like an asshole, but..." or somesuch if you wish.)
Could I receive your reply by return post? If you can't help me out with that's perfectly fine, but you could you let me know that soonest, and perhaps even point to someone who could? Thank you. Herostratus (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to suggest an altblurb. I unmarked ready at ITN in part to give you time to do this. I support the nom only after reading the article--the only thing I can do in Bangla is count to ten. But he seems quite fascinating from the article. μηδείς (talk) 03:28, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Cinematic vision is much more important his sexuality. The sexuality has been reported in publications now and then, so needs some coverage (may be in a personal life section). But cinematic vision really needs to be further developed. I will be busy for, perhaps, next 72 hours, so may not be of much help.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:12, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

नमस्ते! Though I added a Hindi transliteration for the first time here, I did not expect a revert. Can I have a reason? I do not think adding a transliteration is so controversial that it has had a concensus... And if it has been so controversial, where was that concensus reached (link)? Expecting a prompt reply. अलविदा!—Шαмıq ☪ тαʟκ✍ @ 07:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello Titodutta. You have opened a move review at Wikipedia:Move review#Sanjeev Nanda. Since that time, someone else moved the article to Sanjeev Nanda hit-and-run case. If you find that to be an acceptable title, would you consider asking for your move review to be closed? If I see there is no objection, I'll tidy up the discussions. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:18, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Tweets of Bengali actors should be removed in favour of other well known actors who can claim to have been directed by him. Have the whole list, then remove on a judicious basis. This call for no more tweets is kinda dictatorial. Plus, there's no logic to remove Raima's tweet when we can have those of other Bengali actresses of lesser countrywide fame. DebashisMTalk 06:31, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
I got your note and having read a bunch of articles where his sexuality WAS mentioned, and since he is now dead, the standard for what we say about him on wikipedia is somewhat different than it would be for a living person. I recognise that he worked in an area of the world where sexuality and LGBT issues aren't often discussed. However, the question we editors should ask, discuss and think about is whether or not future readers of the English Language article here should KNOW about how he chose to self-identify. It seems he wanted to self-identify as not merely "gay" but Transgendered. There is a project for that and perhaps they should be brought into the discussion. I am open to all views. I would like to see a photo that represented Gosh as he was shortly before he died since he went to great lengths to alter his appearance. It would be like Lana Wachowski dying and no mention of her as Lana or [hotos of her looking like Lana, and only the name Larry being used along with photos of Lana before her sugeries. That may not be a perfect comparison because Lana Wachowski's transition from man to woman wasn't analogous nor a lifelong issue, but still - in the end, isn't it how the person self-identified that matters, even if they had to be somewhat circumspect about it, as stated in this article here [1] ? I'll just read and listen for a while. LiPollis (talk) 11:14, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi,TitoDutta what do you really want?BSF had 215 man?The link does not work.BDR had 17 it did not work,finally the source which is provided about causality says the BSF dead is 15,not 16.
You said me about unsourced change,is not the information given in info box is without source?
So what is the problem?Ovsek (talk) 14:35, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
But is not that source that says BSF strength was 215 and BDR had 17 is dead?So it should be unknown. By the way the source is given in Causality information says BSF dead was 15 not 16.Ovsek (talk) 14:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
The source saying 215 and 17 is dead.How can we accept the dead link,we are no longer able to explain it,and for causality what about it?You always said to give source,now why you are not approving the source given in causality info box? If we cant give any good source about strength then we should exclude that completely.Ovsek (talk) 15:16, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
So I am doing that,hope this not vandalism.I am deleting the strength information box.Also there are plenty of war articles without strength,"Unknown" thank you.Ovsek (talk) 15:29, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi. :) It appears that English may not be your primary language. For native speakers, exclamation points (!) tend to come off as unnecessarily aggressive in online communication, and thus are hardly used. I would encourage you to limit your usage of this punctuation mark to only those cases where you are really exclaiming something. Cheers. -Nathan Johnson (talk) 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

I took initial steps with the Chelishev article. In the meantime I found an article you might like:
Regarding E. P. Chelishev, is it a rough translation of the Russian article? If so I can notify the Russia WikiProject and RussiN speaking editors can take a look. Because I don't know Russian, and auto translation is hit or miss, it's good to get Russian speakers involved WhisperToMe (talk) 05:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Are you thinking of FA or GA? Of course FA nomination is possible without formally being a GA, but a bit adventurous. Given that it failed GA nom last time, I think a GA trial would be better first. Eventual FA may be done with a goal for September, or, January.--Dwaipayan (talk) 02:52, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, just went through Ajit Singh of Khetri. Did copy edits for the worst offenders, so to speak. May still need greater tightening of prose. Since the license on images issue has been cleared up, that part's set too. Good job expanding it, but does it hold up against the 5x expansion in the last 5 days criteria? Ashwin147 (talk) 14:42, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for comments at ANI. If you are wondering, the sockpuppet/SPA account is owned by Jimkio12. I put up Michel von Tell for a PROD and removed some stuff from the article.... IMDB as a ref, using peacock terms and some really bad English. They also messed with one of my userspace files, but I don't think it was for malicious reasons. I just put the article up for AfD. The second time I've been taken to ANI and both were for the same thing. Sniff, I'm so proud of that. I just wish my Userpage would get vandalized more often. Bgwhite (talk) 21:50, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Confused about the awards. I never heard of Swami Vivekananda Prize and the Jawaharlal Nehru Prize article have no mention of Professor Chelyshev. It lists Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan as 1967 prize winner. Solomon7968 (talk) 10:38, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Harinath De, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sloka (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.

I wished to make an article on the Bengali film Baro Eka Lage starring Hiran Chatterjee. According to Gomolo (http://www.gomolo.com/baro-eka-lage-movie/45283), the film released on May 3, 2013. Following that, List of Bengali films of 2013 also says that the film released on May 3, 2013. But the fact is that, I didn't find another single source stating this fact. Even there is no mention of the film in the daily newspapers. On the other hand, "this page". says that Baro Eka Lage is an upcoming film. What to do? Any idea?

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:55, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
