Searching for sources
How to Search for (1) "Latest" and (2) "Archived" ""NEWS & FEATURE ARTICLES" on "Schools / anything" from top newspapers and magazines, also as well how to search for relevant Blog Postings many of which contain local "Print News Articles" not available online - EXAMPLE Mayo College (Plrease help with improving the article on Mayo College, thanks)

As we all know in addition to referring to the main official website if we can research as many news and feature articles from top newspapers and magazines on each subject (article on wikipedia) and highlight top points in our own words or by "quoting" by properly referencing all such research, it improves the wikipedia article many folds and makes it much more credible along with providing many excellent independent unbiased reference links to readers.


 * In the following "News Search pages" you could search by trying different keywords for the same subject, and also change the subject to any other you are currently working on. Please be beware many of the search results will not be relevant. Please also note at the bottom or in the left margin of each "search result page" you will see links to additional related "search and alert services" being offered by these companies (Yahoo, Google etc.), all for free. Also note current news searches for current times may come up blank if there has been no current news or feature article written in the last few months, look in Google News ARCHIVES in that case:

1) "Google News Search" for Mayo College: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Mayo+College%22&btnG=Search

2) "Google ARCHIVES News Search", including news from last year and before, has further links in the left margin to break up archived news by year and by publication, for news on Mayo College: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Mayo+College%22

3) "Google "Blog Postings" search for Mayo College: http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&client=news&q=%22Mayo+College%22&ie=UTF8

4) "Yahoo News Search" for news on Mayo College: http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search;_ylt=A0WTTks7YtxGMgcB1xWy87UF;_ylu=X3oDMTBhNjRqazhxBHNlYwNzZWFyY2g-?fr=sfp&ei=UTF-8&p=%22Mayo+College%22


 * In addition to above you can also make "As-It-Happens News Alerts" for articles that interest you and you will like to work on and want to keep abreast with. The news alert service provided by Google and Yahoo sends you latest news as it happens to your email inbox:

1) Set up Google News Alert at: http://www.google.com/alerts

2) Set up Yahoo News Alert at (for this you will have to sign in with your Yahoo Email ID first): http://alerts.yahoo.com/main.php?view=create_news_step1

I learnt about the above services in the last year while looking for news on Asiatic Lion and Asiatic Cheetah two subjects that interest me.

Hope this information will be useful to all, thanks

 * For example here is a 1921 news item from "Google News Archives (see link abve)" that Prince of Wales comes to visit Indian Princes studying at Mayo College, Ajmer, India. News item from Washington Post:

 * You may want to look at www.webcitation.org to archive permanent versions of articles that will be removed from free online public viewing after they've been available for a certain time period. --Hebisddave 14:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Removing of Copyright text from Wikipedia articles by other users:
We can refer to several sources then write it in our own words and sentences and acknowledge the original references in the reference section, if we dont do so and copy and paste text from other websites, other users of Wikipedia will come and delete all copied text and the articled will be stripped down to a few lines at best.

Please also see WP:Copyright, Citing sources, Manual of Style, etc that may apply.

Wikipedia guidlines on Using copyrighted work from others::

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright#Using_copyrighted_work_from_others (from WP:Copyright).

Was referring to recent edits and stripping of Mayo College article on copyright arguments.

Mayo College article was stripped down from this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayo_College&oldid=156160948

To this raising copyright concerns:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mayo_College&oldid=156219045

Most of the first version above can still be rewritten in ones own words to remove copyright concerns.

Same is true for improving the Mayo College related article on Mayo College Girls School

WP:INDIA Banner/Rajasthan workgroup Addition
Note: WP India Project Banner with Rajasthan workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Rajasthan or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate, please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article --  TinuCherian  (Wanna Talk?) - 07:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Merge
I suggest that the following articles be merged. The List of Mayoites will be shortened if non-notable names are deleted, as suggested in Talk for the article. I've placed this comment in Talk for all 3 articles, but suggest continuing discussion should be in Talk:Mayo College
 * Mayo College
 * Mayo College Girls School
 * List of Mayoites
