100-word list for your Mother tongue
Good day! Could you help me and provide translations for the following 100 basic word in your mother tongue. Not in the standard Hindi but in your native local variety (dialect) if you (used to) speak any (and then indicate please how you call your language /dialect and precise location like state –district – town/village). If there are synonyms or known dialectal variants provide them with comments if possible. Also please indicate if you know that certain words are borrowing. You can fill in right here using either IPA transcription or some other spelling you like (just describe your conventions). Thank you in advance! --Koryakov Yuri 12:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Aksena! (Though I was amazed to find translation not here but on my Talk page!) Actually I'm gathering 100-word lists for as many as possible Indo-Aryan languages to try to build their classification on the firm lexicostatistical basis. Now I have lists for the most standard Indo-Aryan languages but lack many minor ones especially those spoken in the North (Kumauni, Garkhwali, etc.) and also many central varieties (like Eastern Hindi, Bhojpuri, Magadhi, etc). So I've searched the en-Wiki users for their native language and asked several people to help me. So if you know someone whose mother tongue is one of the minor Indo-Aryan languages please let me know. And another thing - is it a trouble for you to spell your translation in Roman letters? Since I could of course do it myself with a Devanagari table in my hands but it takes several hours. --Koryakov Yuri 21:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You are very welcome! I am relatively new to Wikipedia and was therefore confused about how replies work. Thanks to you, now I am sure that messages are supposed to be kept on the same page. For minor Indo-Aryan languages, I would suggest you to go to Wikipedia pages of the regions where these languages are spoken and then contact people who have contributed extensively to those pages. For instance, you can visit Varanasi page and ask any major contributor for Bhojpuri translations. Try finding Bhojpuri translations this way. But if you fail, I also happen to know Bhojpuri translations of some of the words in your list, thanks to my friends living in Varanasi (unfortunately not on Wikipedia). As for roman spellings, please find below the updated list. I hope you understand that, although spelled in anglo characters, the pronunciations are very different from English words. I am familiar with IPA, however, converting so many words would be a meticulous work requiring a lot of time, which I don't have. Good luck! &#8212; Aksera 23:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Aksera! And also thanks for your advice. I'll try to follow it. Spelling is quite OK, it's quite enough for my goals. Later when I will process all Indo-Aryan lists I think I will have some questions to you about certain words or their meaning. --Koryakov Yuri 16:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Good work on National Institutes of Technology
I have not gone through all the changes or the whole article. However, it looks nice. Thanks for the effort, Keep it up.

One suggestion ishere. You can use various templates for the inline citations (references), though that is not mandatory. You can use templates like Template:Cite news and Template:Cite web. A full list is available at WP:CITET. I have done two such changes. Please see.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

request for comment
Could I borrow your opinion at Talk:Penn? There is an editing dispute over the entry for UPenn on this disambiguation page and I'd like some other folks to weigh in. I feel that listing UPenn as '[University of Pennsylvania], America's first university and a member of the Ivy League located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.' is un-encyclopedic, and instead feel the way discussed on the talk page is better as it is similar to other disambiguation pages for universities.

Audio templates
Hi, please don't use Template:Audio-nohelp alone.

If there are lots of sound files, please use Template:Audio first, or use Template:Inline audio. Thank you. --Kjoonlee 22:22, 8 August 2007 (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.
