IIPM article
Anmol, I see your point. But please go through the Talk page of the article. All the content you are adding has been moved to a sub-page on IIPM controversy based on consensus. I am reverting your change for now. I am hoping you will not insert the Outlook sections back again. - Ganeshk 10:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Anmol, You wrote "In Indian B-School community IIPM has criticised for spending money on full page advertisements in newspapers and business magazines." - Please cite examples. What do you mean by the "B-school community"?

"All Indian business (BUSINESS-TODAY,BUSINESS-WORLD and few political magazine (INDIA-TODAY-OUTLOOK have B-School Ranking on an annual or 6 month basis."

There are some 86 publications listed as business mags in English alone with the Audit Bureau of Circulation. There are several larger business mags (Business World for one and also the IIPM rags) which are not listed with ABC. Can you prove that all of them run annual or 6-month B-School surveys as you have sweepingly stated?

India Today and Outlook are newsmagazines not "political magazines" (you are thinking of the Organiser and Ganashakti when you say "political magazine").

"B-School Rankings have become a very big source of income to such magazine, one can find only one-third in such magazines for ranking and articles rest are advertisements."

You mean the edit:ad ratio in a magazine that carries a ranking is 1:2? Are you sure about this? Do you have any idea about the financials of major business mags? Are you sure that the issues on B-School Rankings become a very big source of income to such magazines? Can you cite any sources for this statement?

"IIPM is known to have spend annually around $ 1.2 million dollar, even then they have not been able to have 100% placements." Can you cite sources both for the ad spend numbers as well as for the placement ratios?

"Because Of institutes such as IIPM many top indian institutes (IIM Lucknow,IIM Kozhikode, IIM Indore, XLRI, FMS Delhi, BIMTECH Noida,JBIMS Mumbai,Symbiosis - SIBM, SCMHRD) have not participated in any of these rankings because most of them have policy that they are going to spend very limited money on advertisements and would like to have mouth to mouth publicity only."

Do you have any statements from the "top Indian institutes" you mention above that this is the actual reason why they don't participate in rankings?

Have you heard about the Wiki policy of no original research? I don't have to disprove anything you say - it's upto to you to prove it. By citing sources that are easily verifiable. Put up your sources or shut up! - 59.177.11.41

Response to 59.177.12.133/59.177.**.***
This is a reply to message posted earlier by 59.177.11.41. First on anmol.2k4 discussion page of all i have a page at wikipedia (I m not hiding lik you) Second, i doesn't take much of thinking why you are so much interested in IIPM, either you have too much time (may be unemployed) or you are being paid by IIPM.

and i have all the info you are so much interested about.

"In Indian B-School community IIPM has criticised for spending money on full page advertisements in newspapers and business magazines." - Please cite examples. What do you mean by the "B-school community"

Anmol.2k4: B-school community is something I'm part of and im sure you are not, does iit, iim, iis, mdi, or other top educational institutes in india spend money on ads for self promotion. Or look at Discussion page of IIPM many people there are from B-School Community, And i am living in a B-School and if you don't agree with me then i think you should start reading newspapers and mags. And explain why in thousands of educational institutions only IIPM has been attacked. I have very close sources in AICTE. SO I KNOW, and you don't.

"All Indian business (BUSINESS-TODAY,BUSINESS-WORLD and few political magazine (INDIA-TODAY-OUTLOOK have B-School Ranking on an annual or 6 month basis."

There are some 86 publications listed as business mags in English alone with the Audit Bureau of Circulation. There are several larger business mags (Business World for one and also the IIPM rags) which are not listed with ABC. Can you prove that all of them run annual or 6-month B-School surveys as you have sweepingly stated?

You mean the edit:ad ratio in a magazine that carries a ranking is 1:2? Are you sure about this? Do you have any idea about the financials of major business mags? Are you sure that the issues on B-School Rankings become a very big source of income to such magazines? Can you cite any sources for this statement? Anmol.2k4:yes im sure about it because i read mags other than those of IIPM.buy a business Mag's ranking issue and if you cant notice the ratio of articles and news edits to advertisements then i cannot help you. And yes B-school ads in ranking issue are very big source of income BECAUSE B-SCHOOLS PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO THESE MAGS FOR THESE ADS,

"IIPM is known to have spend annually around $ 1.2 million dollar, even then they have not been able to have 100% placements." Can you cite sources both for the ad spend numbers as well as for the placement ratios?

anmol.2k4:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IIPM_Controversy#Advertising_Strategy sorces are from reputed newspapers and magazines

"Because Of institutes such as IIPM many top Indian institutes (IIM Lucknow,IIM Kozhikode, IIM Indore, XLRI, FMS Delhi, BIMTECH Noida,JBIMS Mumbai,Symbiosis - SIBM, SCMHRD) have not participated in any of these rankings because most of them have policy that they are going to spend very limited money on advertisements and would like to have mouth to mouth publicity only."

well i don't think there is need for statement.

when a magazine gave better ranking to institutes who have paid dor ads, above mentioned Institutes stopped participating in these ranking. Do you have more intelligent reason ??

but how about JAM mag or Business world.

Now these are question for you

1. From where did Malayendra Kishor got his matters in Science. 2. Is it Ethical for Arindam Chaudhari to study in IIPM,which is being owned by his father? 3. What made you think that I am not sure about all i write? 4. Do you have any statement or proof that IIPM has 100% placement,all the companies you mention in ad actually came to you campus and Mk Chaudhari and Arindam Chaudhari have all the degrees they claim to have. 5. Why is Sky blue. 6. Who are you. 7 Are you not working for IIPM. 8 What is your real name and location ?

when there are so many question about IIPM (you), who gave you right to ask others ?

Anmol

Who I am and what I do is irrelevant. You don't prove the truth of your statements by attacking the motives of somebody who questions them. You don't prove the truth of your statements by stating that you "know" something either.

In wiki terms you can only prove the truth of your statements by citing verifiable sources. this may seem strange to somebody who is as sure of the facts as you are but it is the rule of wiki-editing.

Please cite recorded verifiable statements by members of the B-School community. If you are a member of said community, identiy yourself in a source of mainstream media and say "I Anmol such and such, member of such and such state that IIPM has been criticised." You could very easily have done this since there are quite a few such quotes - you chose to go into a hysterical rant about being a member of some community and assuming I'm not.

If you have very close sources in Aicte - quote them. Don't say you "know".

Don't make sweeping statements - "all" Indian Business mags don't carry B-School surveys - many do. Calling Outlook or India-Today a political magazine is as silly an error as saying Einstein was a chemist. A wiki deals in facts - don't make verifiable errors.

You don't know the financial structure and income streams of Business magazines - or even if you do because you are an industry insider (doubtful given your classification of Outlook. India Today), these facts are not in the public domain. You haven't a clue whether the income from B-school survey issues is a "big source of income" - you may guess as much but you cannot prove this by citing facts in the public domain. So don't say it

Have you actually counted the edit:ad ratio in a reasonable sample of B-school survey issues? If so: cite it - say that in Business World 2004,2005 survey and Business Todays 2004,2005 etc surveys the edit:ad ratio was 1:2 across a sample of so many issues.

Where did you discover that B-schools pay to be included in these surveys - according to official statements by B-schools, the mags and the polling agencies, B-schools DONT PAY. I am very interested to know if there is a public statement on record to the opposite.

I have seen the ET articles too - why didn't you cite them? (The figure spent by IIPM is actually much higher if you go by rack rates)

I am not disputing the fact that many institutes don't participate in survey. Nor am I disputing that B-schools of repute dont advertise. However you are saying that they don't do this because "most of them have policy that they are going to spend very limited money on advertisements and would like to have mouth to mouth publicity only."

I'm not even getting into the fractured English in that statement. Can you cite any sources where a spokesperson for such institutes stated that this was their MOTIVE in withdrawing from surveys?

I have no idea about IIPM's placement ratios -- they have always avoided answering this question. You can infer from their evasion that they have low placements. BUT there is still no verifiable source for you to say what their placement ratios are. If you have such a source, quote it. I didn't make the statement, I am not arguing that it is false = but prove it.

2) According to MKC, he got it from the East Berlin School of Economics - the institute existed, it is now defunct and impossible to verify ( believe me I've tried and so have several other people).

3) I don't think so but how does that affect the facts - the entry states clearly that he studied at his father's institute. Let who reads it make up his/ her mind about the ethics.

4) Religious people are sure God exists. Atheists are sure God doesn't exist. You have to cite verifiable sources before you have a valid Wiki entry. It doesn't matter how sure you are personally.

5) No I don't but I don't have any proof to the contrary that I can cite. If you do, cite it.

6) read the wiki entry on the effect of sunlight travelling through the atmosphere

7) This is irrelevant - answer the questions I have raised.

8) No I am not

9) somebody who obviously knows a great deal more about both media and wiki standards than you do.

Anmol, Thanks for taking the trouble. What about the other 80-odd B-mags, which may or may not carry surveys at all? What about the other opinions you cited wrt placements, B-school motivations, blah-blah? I haven't asked for your id - I am not interested in your id - anyone can edit a Wiki. If AICTE is not prepared to make statements in the public domain, how can you calmly assert something on their behalf?

Re:Khalistan
Hello Sir I'm nominating this page for deletion because it is written with a point of view, excessive use of unreliable sources.and the title "Khalistan" is wrong for the topic because "Khalistan" does not exist,lack of support from resident Punjabi's and Sikhs in India, but there was a "Movement for Khalistan" and that is the right title for the topic, and i think this whole article "a new name" should be rewritten with the help of people from sikh community "in" India and other Indians, because this topic is related to politics/people of India.We all should understand Khalistan is not a political entity and having a article is not justified, Microsoft Encarta and Britannic encyclopedia don't have an article known as "Khalistan" but they do have articles on the movement that took place decades back, and i think there are also copyright issues involved with this article because big parts of this article are written on other peoples research. Many reliable sources are used to show "one side" of their view on the topic, there are also indications that organisations banned by US and EU are involved in providing their research on the movement.I am a strong supporter to have a stub on this topic, but im afraid that such articles on wikipedia have become mouthpieces for organisation which are known for disrupting peace (assassination of one of india's prime minister, twin bomb blast in New Delhi on the eve of Diwali) in Indian sub continent. This article requires your attention, please help. Anmol.2k4 18:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi! Replying to your points on the deletion of the Khalistan article:
 * We do not delete articles if there it is a POV. We strive to project the neutral point of view instead.
 * Why do you think the sources are unreliable? The sources are mentioned so that one can crosscheck on the data on the page.
 * lack of support from resident Punjabi's and Sikhs in India – we need more Indian contributors here on wikipedia. We have too few a number.
 * ...written with the help of people from sikh community "in" India and other Indians, because this topic is related to politics/people of India – If it is written only by the Indian Sikh community, it will be biased towards the community, which goes against the grain of our goal of having a neurally written article.
 * copyright issues involved with this article because big parts of this article are written on other peoples research – Information cannot be copyrighted. We can read the text, understand it, and rewrite it in wikipedia with the quotation of the source. This is allowed.
 * such articles on wikipedia have become mouthpieces for organisation – This is a recurring problem, but if the article is written from a neutral perspective, like the Kashmir part in the India article, vandalism and propaganda is greatly reduced.
 * ' This article requires your attention'' – I'm sorry but I've got to decline as I am really busy with other projects.

Hello, as asked by you I had a look at the Khalistan article. However, I stopped after reading the introduction which I found IS rather biased, POV and will easily guile the uninformed into believing that Sikhs are hated in India. Rohitbd 08:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Concern regarding Khalistan article
sir i have read your message and i am very happy that at least you believe that there is problem with this article, i wanted the wiki community to rewrite this article because of the bias but people who don't know about Khalistan and sikh people are not able to see the problem, i hope Indians in wikipedia community are going to do something about it about it, right now afd has been removed from the article by an admin so i am trying to rename this article to "Movement For khalistan" or some thing like it as other encyclopedia have article on this topic but with different title, and there is bias and pov problems too. i hope you are going to supervise this problem because im very new to wikipedia.

Anmol.2k4 09:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello Anmol,
 * Your concern is appreciated. Also there is no need to get alarmed since this sort of problems are bound to happen due to the open nature of wikipedia. I don't know much about khalistan. However I am sure with time someone knowledgable will eventually set the article right. In the meanwhile I have tagged the article for neutrality. Let's hope that someone takes note of it and hopefully makes it neutral - though tagging may also result in revert wars,long winded arguments, etc. Rohitbd 12:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

khalistan
i will lokk into the article.but i cant remove the article.you can contact the admins bhadani and pamri .but seriously, i dont think the article can be deleted.i know it was a emotional issue,but it cannot be erased permanently from history.and the fact is that many active members of khalistan are still living in countries abroad. i will see that the article is least provocative. thanks for contributing and suggestion.keep contributing more such articles.--Jayanthv86 10:56, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I thank you for your concern. But, in wikipedia we do not solve such issues so rapidly. Microsoft Encarta and Britannic may not be having what we have here, we set out our own example and standard, and we shall excell them in the long run. Any one may edit wikipedia, and some day, some one shall step into to make the things in order as reagrds the above page is concerned. --Bhadani 11:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Just to let you know you should not makes moves like the one at Beant Singh (bodyguard) by chaning the current version to a redirect and starting a new article. This loses all the previous history of the article. Instead please use the 'move' button at the top of the page. I've undone what you did and done it correctly. Your edits may have been lost.

Please read carefully the section DJ Clayworth 06:22, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Anmol

Thanks for your message. Yes I understand that page moves can be confusing at first. You tried to rename Beant Singh (bodyguard) to Beant Singh (assassin) by making the first one a redirect and creating a new article at the second. This is not the way to do it, because all the history of the article is lost when you do this (it stays at the original name). What I did was to delete the new article you created at Beant Singh (assassin) and to move the original article to that name. I then copied the text that you put in the new article to the talk page, so that it wasn't lost.

I have no problem with calling the article Beant Singh (assassin). Assassin just means "someone who kills a prominent person", which is exactly what they did. However I do have some issues with the other things you wrote. The trouble is that there is dispute about the causes of Operation Bluestar; some see it as a legitimate operation to remove armed terrorists. Others as as organized killings of a religious minority by a government bent on oppressing that minority. The important thing here is that Wikipedia does not try to sort out which of these views is true. What we do is described in Neutral point of view; in essence we don't try to decide which view point is true, we report all points of view. Only a few months ago I had to explan this to another editor editing exactly these articles, insisting that Beant Singh be described as a saint and hero for killing the 'evil' Indira Gandhi. If you look at the history I was just as insistent that their viewpoint was not presented as the 'true' one.

The second point is that to try to explain all the subtleties and viewpoints about Operation Bluestar and who thought what about it that takes a lot of space, so we try to do it in one place only - the article Operation Bluestar. For this article we don't get into the details about it. Instead we record the undisputed facts only. Here the undisputed facts are that Beant Singh killed Indira Gandhi in revenge for Operation Bluestar, and that he saw Operation Bluestar as an attack on his religion (we're not saying he was right, just that he saw it like that). There is a link to Operation Bluestar so readers can go and look up more details if they want.

Please do add more to Beant Singh (assassin) or Operation Bluestar or Indira Gandhi. As long as you remember the neutraility principle you will have no trouble. Thanks for your contrubutions. DJ Clayworth 15:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for the barnstar! I appreciate it. My goal for Khalistan article is only to make sure that it is not hijacked by a small minority and made into something that sounds like it is alive and kicking. I don't thnk I am ever gonna touch various POV in regards to the past lol. --Blacksun 15:42, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

last edit here in wikipedia
Due to the recent argument(talk:khalistan & Sukh RFA), false accusation & hostile nature of few wikipedians toward me i think it will be very difficult for me to coexist in  such community, and im scared if i will stay he more such people may continue to bully me in future, i past whenever i made mistakes i always apologised for those and continued to contribute to the wikipedia. But i am not one of those people who apologise for others mistake. In the discussion above one can see that i gave away a lot of my personal information to prove that im behind NAT and share ip address with other students in our institute in fact i have also provided telephone number to our institute so that the community can confirm that i study there or not, is the ip address used by anonymous user to attack sukh is being used by the institute. But i don't think it is of any use as this argument has got too ugly and gone too far, therefore i have come to a decision that this will be my last contribution to the wikipedia.Anmol.2k4 12:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Anmolbhai please do not leave. You are mis-interpreting the situation, which I admit is a little too tense and provocative. Please calm down - I request you to stay and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Its an encyclopedia, dat's all. Don't be engrosed with POV and user disputes.

 * There is nothing to apologize for, all that was required in that situation. I have no hard feelings for anybody, i just did what i thought was right in this situation and i will take a break from wikipedia and when i will come back i will use a new user id and i hope that verification will be done soon.

Re:Arushi Talwar Speedy deletion
Hello Anmol. Thank you for your note regarding the article Arushi talwar. Although you have supplied references on my talk page, those references were not present in the article when I deleted it 17:10, 27 May 2008. The article basically consisted of a narrative about the event with no references, and statements like "The nation awaits with a stopped heart beat to know what could really have happened." I decided that the speedy deletion tag placed on it was valid and thus deleted the article based on non-assertion of notability.

The article in its current version does not warrant a speedy deletion tag. If the article had been like that before, I would not have deleted it. I hope this adequately explains my actions. Regards, ... disco spinster  talk  00:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Starbus-with-AMT.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Starbus-with-AMT.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

The same concerns apply to:
 * File:Hybrid-Starbus.jpg
 * File:Tata-Sumo-Grande-MK-II.jpg
 * File:Tata-Indigo-MANZA.jpg
 * File:Tata-PRIMA-truck.jpg
 * File:Tata-Xenon-CNG.jpg
 * File:Tata-MAGIC-IRIS.jpg
 * File:Manza.jpg

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello. I'm sorry if the above message isn't clear. My excuse would have to be that I didn't write the template it comes from.
 * Replaceable doesn't mean "I can find an image right now to replace this with". It means something more like "Could an image be created by someone in the right place which would replace this one". For most, and probably all, of those Tata vehicles the answer to the question is "Yes". Why? Well, if you see a PRIMA truck somewhere you can take a picture of it and upload it here as a free image. If you or your neighbour own a Manza car or some day you park next to one you can take a picture of it and upload it here as a free image. In that sense, and it isn't perhaps the most obvious meaning, these images are replaceable. Hope this makes sense, Angus McLellan (Talk) 17:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for explaining that, but what about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Press_kit_rationale. Can it be used for these pictures as these pictures were part of press kit.--Anmol.2k4 (talk) 18:49, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Let's restrict this to cars because it keeps things simpler. There are certainly cases where you couldn't necessarily get a picture of a car and where a promotional photograph would be acceptable: concept cars, especially ones where the design is very unusual; cars which were shown once at a motor show years ago but never went on sale; cars which were shown at a motor show but aren't on sale yet and might never be; cars which haven't even been shown at a motor show yet. It might be acceptable to use a promotional pack picture in an article on a very unusual car where all the surviving vehicles are held by private collectors, but this is a fairly uncommon situation. None of these reasons for using a promotional picture would apply to cars that you can buy today or see in the street. Does this make sense? Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:33, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it makes sense, thanks for all the effort :-). --Anmol.2k4 (talk) 20:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Glad to help. Thank you for all your good work on the project. If there's anything else you ever need help with, please don't hesitate to ask. All the best, Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

November 2013
Do not add personal information about other contributors to Wikipedia, as you did at Tarun Tejpal. Wikipedia operates on the principle that every contributor has the right to remain completely anonymous. Posting personal information about a user is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's harassment policy. Wikipedia policy on this issue is strictly enforced and your edits have been reverted and/or suppressed, not least because such information can appear on web searches. Wikipedia's privacy policy is there to protect the privacy of every user, including you. Persistently adding personal information about other contributors may result in you being blocked from editing. ''Please familiarize with WP:BLP before adding more to the article. Excessive details with primary sources (Email / Twitter) on a current issue which affects living people is not worthy to be kept on the article.'' Evano1van(எவனோ ஓருவன்) 19:51, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Where did I add personal information about other contributors to Wikipedia ? Secondly, email in question and the content of email is being reported by various media sources for example:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Tehelkas-editor-Tarun-Tejpal-steps-aside-after-incident-with-woman-journalist/articleshow/26112145.cms? http://www.livemint.com/Consumer/l7JU2uIFUeILFLuv2vgyeL/Tarun-Tejpal-steps-down-as-Tehelka-editor-for-6-months.html http://blogs.outlookindia.com/default.aspx?ddm=10&pid=3084&eid=31

Content of that email is available from pretty much all the news sources which are reporting on this.

Tarun Tejpal
Please familiarise yourself with Biographies of living persons policy. Your edits to the Tarun Tejpal article are completely unacceptable, for multiple reasons. The sourcing is poor, and the emphasis put on what appears to be a singe incident is entirely undue. I suggest you famiuliarise yourself with policy, and then discuss the matter on the talk page - edit-warring is liable to result in you being blocked from editing.
