Image of Nirma logo
Hi, I was thinking of adding an infobox kind of like what other universities have, for e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BITS_Pilani or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Institute_of_Technology%2C_Kharagpur

The logo on Nirma's website is not very clear and I was hoping to put up something that would show everything clearly. Would you have time to take a good photograph of the Nirma logo the next time you are at Nirma? Or better, could you ask the administrators at college to give you a a nice copy of the logo which could be scanned and would be of the highest quality.

Thanks User:Gnikhil

Ahmedabad FAC
Yo aksi - what is your assessment? When do you want to go for FAC? I've added some books as "Further reading," but the main references are reliable and good. Rama's arrow - this Fire burns always  19:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Ask Ambuj to have a look, specifically if there is a need for more references. If he's ok with it, then go for it. Rama's arrow  03:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Handholding new users
Good to see your work in this regard, deleted the duplicate image. I guess you need to stand for adminship sometime soon so as to not bug admins ;). hv been busy of late, guess it wd remain so till the end of next month. All the best for FAC. --Gurubrahma 06:36, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Ahmedabad FAC & stuff
Hi aksi, I couldn't help eavsdropping on your conversation with Guruji :P BTW I've deleted the Torrent image. So when are you planning to put Ahmedabad for FAC? Can I help in any way? Cheers --Srikeit (Talk 06:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi aksi,
 * I have done a round of copyedit and the article looks nearly there. I have raised some issues (using comments). Try to address them. Once it is finished, I believe it would be ready for FAC. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay I'll do an error check. Also I was wondering if you require any more images for the article. I haven't used my camera for a long time & am itching to do so ;) --Srikeit (Talk 06:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I've uploaded the following images of the Shreyas Flyover to commons
 * Image:Shreyas Flyover.JPG
 * Image:Shreyas Flyover1.JPG
 * Image:Shreyas Flyover2.JPG
 * Image:Shreyas Flyover3.JPG
 * Image:Shreyas plaque.JPG

Please select the ones you want. I've gotta leave now so see you tommorow. Cheers --Srikeit (Talk 12:32, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi aksi,

I think the article looks good enough now. You can go for the FAC. Any objections raised can be handled then and there. I hope there is no issue of comprehensiveness, which can sometimes be a pain to fix in such a short duration. So what are you waiting for. Go for it. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Looks like you are in need of some help with citation templates. I am giving suggestions how to proceed. Copy the whole template from Template:Cite news. The author's name, etc. will be provided at the top of the news. So also you will find the date. If some news source doesn't mention dates, yo can go to "Tools --> Page Info" in Firefox to see when it was published. This is particularly helpful for cite web template. In the "works" section, you may include details like being a part of some special edition, though this is not always applicable. If language is English, leave the field. If its from some printed newspaper, you should also mention the page number in "pages". Hope this is sufficient. Ask for my help if you find any problems. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I got here late - have you already fixed Sandy's points? Rama's arrow  17:17, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * They look perfect now. Report back at the FAC. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi aksi, I too agree I should have uploaded my previous photos to commons, these however are uploaded to commons & I will continue to do so in the future. Great to see the FAC up & already looking promising. I think I'll wait for some more improvement suggestions to come before I add my support. Cheers --Srikeit (Talk 18:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi aksi - sorry for the delayed response, just logged on. The comment on "choppy prose" means the presence of awkward and poor grammar, too long/short sentences. I don't think the problem is serious, and I will give the article a thorough copyedit right now. Consider asking user:Tony1 or user:SandyGeorgia to revise the article - they're among the best. Rama's arrow  15:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi aksi - Sukh and Sundar have done more copyedits, and I'll be giving the article a thorough cleaning today. That should resolve outstanding issues. Rama's arrow  13:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know - would definitely have missed it. Yes I too think that the prose is fine, but will give it a harder look very soon. Rama's arrow  13:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes that's good! Carry on! Rama's arrow  14:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Quick hello
Hope all is well aksi. Take care -- Samir  धर्म 05:53, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the anon's edit was valid. The institute got renamed to the new name. However, since you did the revert in good faith, it's not an issue. :) -- Sundar \talk \contribs 12:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

FAC report
Yo - I'm gonna be starting a para-2-para copyediting process for A'bad and Darjeeling, along the lines of Spangineer and Tony's comments. This should take care of residual problems. Please make sure you check my work. Rama's arrow 11:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the delay, Aksi: I hope to get to it tonight.  Sandy 21:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thx!
I have a feeling I just put you into the soup! We really need to spread the idea of more effective collaboration on India-related articles, and you're right, I have my hands full at the moment. And this was going to be my holiday ... Tony 15:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ambuj
Hello Mr. Great. I thank you for your message. I do not believe that he has left – for various reasons he may not have edited for last two or three days. I know that true wikipedians do not desert the ship, and as a true wikipedian, Ambuj should again become active very shortly. All the best! --Bhadani 14:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for giving me the name of the god. How do you know so many things. Now, please see your mail box, and forward the mail to persons you know. Thanks and all the best. --Bhadani 15:44, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Aksi great,

Thanks for your quick response on the Hindi city name topic.

From there, I followed links to your user pages and your contributions on Wikipedia. Keep up the very good work, especially on the anti-vandalism front! Gajamukhu 08:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for volunteering
Thanks for volunteering to manage WP:INCOTW. That would be great help. I got your message about creating POI biographies using a bot. I will give it a shot once I come back from break. Here is a barnstar for you. - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 16:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

(barnstar moved to user page)


 * Yes. You can remove them. Do provide a detailed edit summary explaining the reasons why. - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 16:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yo dude - yes it looks pretty good now. Will keep a watchful eye till the fat lady sings. You better solicite some editors/critics for your ER. When do you plan to apply for adminship? Rama's arrow  01:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi aksi, saw your message on Srikeit's page. Here is a detailed guide on how to connect to IRC, pointed out to me by Srikeit. Cheers -- Lost(talk) 13:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Admin
Thanks Aksi, but not immediately. The current priority is editing articles and getting adminship will definitely interfere with it. Or I'll have to give false promises in the RfA and then break them after getting through :-) Tintin (talk) 08:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Aksi, Could you double-check the answer tally for Round 9 please? I believe I have 6 correct answers too. This is the sequence of people who answered qs right:

thanx for the resources. glad to know a fellow person from ahmedabad. i wanted to know if we can create a wikibox for ahmedabad citizens. with regards Kaushal mehta 13:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops
Hello, I think you may have messed up a welcome message to User talk:Herr.Schultze. The reason I noticed was you had put into the page without the   tag. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 14:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Herr.Schultze
I'm don't think the way forward is to delete it, as then that deletion will always be there in the history of the page, and it looks worse than keeping the honest mistake visibly on record. If he wants it deleted, I will, but it's blank anyway now, so it's fairly academic. I can't see it as any big deal. Let me know if you disagree.Tyrenius 14:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I see someone's done it for you anyway! I think that looks odd, but there you go.

Re. my RfA, I waited 3 months like you said, and then you didn't show up! :) Tyrenius 14:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

That was good going &mdash; 2 mistakes on a welcome message! lol. Anyway, it was good advice you gave on the RfA, and it worked, so thanks for that. Tyrenius 14:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Statistically I think the people who make the most mistakes will be the people who do the most work! It was a satisfying RfA. Heavens, I'm speaking to someone in India! Just like that. Tyrenius 14:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

If I had time. I'll take a peek. London at the moment. It was on my user page, but I see I've removed it. Tyrenius 14:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Use the same figures
In my opinion, if you use the same figures throughout the article, that will lead to less confusion. If not you can rephrase the first line like this with a current population of more than 52 lakhs (5.2 million)Doctor Bruno 18:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks Good. While you were modifying the demography section, I did a minor edit to the first line. Please Check and tell Doctor Bruno 18:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I added that word because I was not aware that you will be giving an explanation in the demography. As of now, since the explanation in demography is sufficient and clear, the current may be removedDoctor Bruno 19:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your welcome and the set of links. Am browsing and uploading random bits of my brain wherever it looks like I can do some good. You're right, much work remains to be done on all things Indian. I'm getting my prof colleagues to adopt their pet subjects and work them up. Spread the love! Rimi 09:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

FAC
Hi aksi - (I can't comment on Syed, Ambedkar at the moment) Raul I believe is busy with Wikimania. I don't know why he promoted Satyajit Ray before Ahmedabad and Darjeeling (I think Tony's comments had not been addressed at the time), but don't worry. I suggest you wait for 1-2 days more, and then ask Raul. Rama's arrow 14:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Adi Shankara was also not promoted, despite unanimous support. Rama's arrow  14:09, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, its not that he will reject the eventual promotion. Go ahead and ask him now, no point in delaying if he's back. Rama's arrow  14:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like you're around. Join IRC. I'm waiting. --Nearly Headless Nick 16:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

special relativity - non technical introduction article
Hi, it looks like, there is a very little interest to provide a non-technical intro to SR. I've clearly failed to start a dicussion about the quality of the current "intro" article and its replacement with an easy to read stuff for newcomers. And I must admit, that I'm rather disappointed about that.

As I agree, that there shouldn't be duplicate articles on the same topic, please proceed with the deletion. I would personally prefer to delete the current intro, which I have very strong objections against, but I understand, that a lot of people spent time on that, they believe it provides the introduction to SR and they are going to defend it. And even from my point of view it would be a kind of vandalism.

If only the people, who will try to read the current "introduction", would join the discussion and give their opinion. But I think that they simply find another source.--Herr.Schultze 17:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thans for the suggestions but the image does not help the article too much. I've added a cropped image of the CIA world time zones instead. IST is now listed on FAC. Rgds, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  19:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

INCOTW
Hi! Right now INCOTW has two good candidates. The problem seems to be lack of new contributors ( I see 2 or 3 new contributors though).

Manmohan Article has POV and fradulant statement
Many weasel words like "highly respected", "highly respected image" "architect of modern India" etc etc has been used liberally. No criticism section is there. The article is very unbalanced and looks like haughty boastful article littered with POV. Harryford 07:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
