Portal Bangladesh
Hi, I have been thinking about regularly updating the Portal:Bangladesh. So I asked Rama's Arrow for help. As the featured article related to Bangladesh are not many he told me to update it once a week. He also told me to look for your help. So please give me some advice and I have been hoping to get help from you when needed. Thanks.Tarif Ezaz Bangladesh 18:04, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for voting and commenting on my RfA last month. In a few months after I graduate, I'll have time to "prepare," (I won't be on Wikibreak next time) and visit xFD everyday. I learned my lesson on messing up with a fair use image!! Do you have any tips or suggestions for me? Thanks again, X ['Mac Davis '] (SUPERDESK |Help me improve ) 07:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Unblock request
Ambuj, I have unblocked that IP. Let me know if it worked. -- Ganeshk  ( talk ) 13:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

When I started my second editor review, I had no idea how greatly helpful it would be to me. Here are people from across the world who I've never met or laid eyes upon, taking their personal time to think about me and offer me valuable criticism and advice. And the stuff I've learnt is more helpful in real life than just on Wikipedia. This is an experiment I will never forget. I thank you most sincerely for your kindness, for helping me be a better person. I am very much in your debt. Rama's arrow 15:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to know how can rate an article. Can I rate it directly or need any one's permission ? by Kirtilal 18:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Request
Hi! Well, I know you are busy in real life. Still, a request. West Bengal is in FAC where a thorough copyedit has been suggested by Tony. Could you please have a look at the article? I have also requested Sandy and he has done a round of copyedit and added some inline comments. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 07:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

IIPMPage: Thanks and Will Do
Thanks for the heads up, Ambuj. I'll keep you posted, and contact the Indian admin site too if things get ugly. Deepakshenoy 05:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your input!
Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. -- SB_Johnny |talk|books 14:40, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ambuj. Have you seen Portal: West Bengal? It's going good. Check it out.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect reservation actual/theoretical pie chart
i see this article has the old incorrect reservation actual/theoretical pie chart that was based on the data in viney kripal book. i have given current statistics which appear in the iit article, but not here. this needs to be corrected. Iitmsriram 17:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Deleted selected images
The Portal:India selected image Image:Kerala India tea fields.jpg was deleted from commons per Commons:Stock.xchng images. Maybe you should remove it from the article queue et al.--thunderboltz(Deepu) 15:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I could not find the commons page linked by you. Can you tell in jist what happened? Was it unfree? — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops, wrong link. Here's a working one: Commons:Commons:Stock.xchng_images. A written request is necessary for the use of the images, it seems. Did we have any other stock.xchng images selected on the portal?--thunderboltz(Deepu) 13:43, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Mee too.. Was looking to feature it after IST attains the status. For now, the article has a heavy Indian bias to it. We should even things out, including the infobox details and the map. =Nichalp  «Talk»=  17:15, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

On Orkut
Thanks for your comments. Per WP:MOSTM, with the exception of those trademarks with an initial lowercase letter (such as eBay or iPod), we capitalise the first letter of all trademarks. We don't pander to other companies' typographical conventions. For the same reason, our article for the BBC's main television service refers not to BBC ONE or BBC one, but BBC One.

Re
Hi Ambuj, regarding this page-name, the halant is already present, and AFAICS, always has been. Are you asking whether it would be better without the halant? That may be more correct from the viewpoint of Kannada (and general Sanskrit) tradition, but if you prefer the name to be written the way it is generally spoken (by Mahajan himself, importantly), perhaps having halants is good as it serves the purpose of phonetic representation. I don't suppose this reply really helps :( Its admirable how many languages you are able to handle....I pride myself on speaking several languages, but you do a lot more!

Thanks for the barnstar.

Portal India DYK
If you look at my DYK's, I think Ching-Thang Khomba and Pamheiba could be added since they are newer than the ones on the portal. Baka man  02:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Nathu La additions: "Economy" - please see
Please see this and this edits. Especially the one in economy. You may want to re-word the sentences. I thought this economic speculation was needed to increase the comprehensiveness. What do you think? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! IMO, no major structural changes are needed. Consult Nichalp once. Then we should go for FAC. Meanwhile, don't forget to promote it to PISA!


 * Some observations: What are the last two entries under "Notes" doing? I mean they are not specifically cited. If they are not specifically cited, those two can be moved under "References", while rest of the stuffs under "Notes". These is not a must, but IMO can be done.


 * One more comment, "For Hindus, the pass reduces the journey time to Mansarovar lake from 15 days to two days.The Tibetans on the Indian side can now easily go to Potala Palace in Lhasa to offer prayers." But at the end, "Tourists will not be allowed to cross the border via Nathu La pass till 2012." And also, in the caption of Rumtek's photo, "Pilgrims from Tibet may be able to make a pilgrimage to the Rumtek monastery". So, is there any specific arrangement for pilgrims for the time being (till 2012)? Pilgrims are also tourists, right?


 * Yet another comment. I've been to Kalimpong and remember being shown by some guide "oi je Nathu La" (There is Nathu La!) The image "The Nathu La Pass as seen from the town of Kalimpong" - are you sure that's Nathu La? I mean which one? There are many such rugged mountains that can be seen from Kalimpong. Well, I just hope someone does not raise this question in FAC :)


 * With Nichalp around, there should not be any major problems in the FAC. Let's go for it!! Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, if you are done with editing, let's refer to Nichalp. I am leaving a message to him stating the aforementioned points. There is no reason to delay! Another FAC, hurray! :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Aha! I see. Already left a message. Anyway, no probs. He won't be doing anything before the weekend. Meanwhile, let's see if something more comes up in the peer review. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello,To mention Ambuj Saxena I don't think that the pass is closed for tourist as I visited it in October, 2005. He have to be sure about it. Go on with the project I am with it. As for the photos I wanna ask u how u managed it. Last time we have to deposit our camera mobiles also. Amartyabag 16:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. I think there is a need to change the infobox, what do u think? Amartyabag 07:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
