Help on Tag & Assess 2012

 * Hello! I tagged and assessed the article Talk:Vijaya Vauhini Studios. It seems that article was previously called as Vijaya Studios and is redirected to VVS now. However, Talk:Vijaya Studios still is unassessed. Will this happen always or was there some error while the page was renamed? -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 06:49, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * No talk page templates for redirect unless there is a specific reason. Example, the redirect is about a single subject which points to a section of an article about many things combined, or some such attenuating circumstance. Otherwise usually not. AshLin (talk) 08:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * So in this case, where only name was changed, there actually shouldn't exist two talk pages. Right? -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 08:38, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You cannot delete this because it may have shared history. Ignore hthe redirect. AshLin (talk) 08:40, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * So should i blank out the page like you did for this one? Deletion would be a better option. Isnt it? I came across another of this kind. Also, i will make a new section on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012 where we can list pages which require other editors' look. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 09:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Deletion requires not just care but wisdom. If you want to bring people's attention to pages for second opinions, that's a good thing to do but it should be done on the talk page (of the TAG & Assess 2912). AshLin (talk) 10:29, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Anyways... will just leave those disputed things. And i though that as this is a mass drive opinions maybe requested on one common page. But forget it. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 10:48, 2 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry I didn't see your message on my talk page in February until now, but I see you've sorted it out now so all is good! Keep up the good work! Ncmvocalist (talk) 16:57, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I asked for input on Indian maps some time ago without getting any answer. Would you have a look please? See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian maps. Yann (talk) 16:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Beer - thanks
I am keeping tabs on the articles assessed recently - i will improve on my one liner feeedback :) After a bit of time a pulse check on the overrating and underrating needs to be taken. I am a tee-totaller, hope the beer is non-alchoholic :) Ssriram mt (talk) 05:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)ssriram_mt.

Great take off!
The assessment drive has managed a great take off! Great work by you guys. My kudos for you...

However, it seems you might have noticed already, the importance assessment (and quality assessment to some extent) may need to be further elucidated/ brought to attention. You can probably mention in the assessment page to go slow but steady, and give importance to quality, not just quantity. What say? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:29, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: WikiProject India template
Hi Ashlin, the auto parameter was designed specifically for use by bots. Bots can look for the existence of a stub template and tag the article as a stub. When the bots do this, they also set the auto parameter to "yes". A human will need to review the tagged pages, and make sure the article is a stub. If the article is not a stub (false positive), the human reviewer will need change the classification and remove the auto parameter. The auto parameter will always get removed after a review. Here is a demonstration:

There is a AutoWikiBrowser plugin, User:Kingbotk/Plugin that helps with assessment drives. Please check if it will be useful. — Ganeshk  ( talk ) 12:33, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Tag and Assess 2012
Hi, I would like to comment on the views of awarding barnstars during this drive. At the outset, I would like to make it clear that I am not running for barnstars, but do my contributions just because I love doing it and love the way I am doing it as well. I am assuming that you would count AWB also as a bot, and hence my comment in this respect. Taking my contributions as specific example, I have the following points. -- VasuVR ( talk,  contribs ) 16:16, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I probably tagged about 2500+ as stubs with only about 10% being assigned importance as well. It is most likely that about 90% of these are correct assessments, with very little incorrect assessments.
 * If the class assessment is wrong, anyway the main article needs change to drop the stub template and the importance can be assessed at that time.
 * Thirdly, I plan to return to these to assess the importance, but after my favourite subproject - Indian Music.
 * I have in the stub-assessment process found at least 600 or more articles of India project that did not have the WP India template at all.
 * After that activity, I am doing some serious assessment, by which I go through the article and assess all the sub-project parameter too. Though I use AWB, it is not in anyway similar to the first pass that I had. This is a manual check of the article and assessment, though using AWB only for going through the list easily. In such a case, just because anyone uses a bot, does not mean that this methodology of assessment is in any way less than someone who does not use AWB, do you agree?
 * Finally, I have earlier done 2 drives of my own a couple of years ago to tag about 2000+ categories and 600+ templates into our project, which did not have the WP India template in the talk page at all. At that time it was motivation by prevention some of the categories and templates from getting deleted without a notification to WP India notice-board. FYI. :)


 * I appreciate your view point, VasuVR. So what do you suggest? I would only like to give more awards. It is difficult for someone who manually edits to match up the tally in numbers to one who uses AWB or a bot, hence a separate category for bot editors, since they cant keep up with you. It does not mean that you are doing a worse job, than someone who does manual edits, or a better job either. It also is neither more or less prestigious. if anything, it says you are technically savvy to have a bot work with you, even if its good old AWB. It does say that you have been able to be more productive also because of the bot-assist.
 * I have already mentioned how much I appreciate your adding new articles to the community. That is great service. The WikiProject actually grows because of this kind of work, the growth in numbers through template addition by article creators is minimal.
 * I concur with you. Barnstars and awards are symbols of recognition, but true happiness comes from one's own opinion of the work one does, not from other people's opinion alone. That apart, it is nice to get barnstars unlooked for and to be able to earn awards by sheer hard work.
 * Thanks for updating us about your work of the past, I'm very glad to hear that. Unfortunately, I myself put up AWB but there is some setting problem & I dont know to make it work. :(.
 * Stay cool, you are doing an awesome job, I'm really caught up wit the guide (part 2) hence I have not been closely monitoring for a while.
 * You are a valuable member of this team. I look forward t feedback from you on how I am doing things too.

AshLin (talk)


 * I have not been able to come up with any suggestion either... so left it as a comment! :) There were always thoughts in my mind of the many complications. For example, I plan to come back to assess importance. So, would two assessments on same article count as 1? I should think it should count as 1 and not 2. Another case, when someone assesses the same page 3 times, once for class, another for importance, later just because some reference they come across, etc. So, how do we do all these tallies. Can't. We have to conserve our energy for editing and less for administration. Hence, your idea of quick and dirty counts are quite sufficient, in my mind. Assume good faith... probably reduce the count to 1/2 if someone has used automation or use a higher divisor but be liberal... No idea... Ok, enough of my rambling for now... Thank you for detail discussion. -- VasuVR ( talk,  contribs ) 17:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * In your case, I think you should award yourself the awards as you achieve them. Dont expect me or Sriram to cross-check your stuff other than a random spot-check. The count business is basically meant just to cross-check & verify person has done significant number of edits preferably more. AshLin (talk) 17:15, 8 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Ooops. Nope. That goes against the spirit. I will wait for the expected unexpected barnstar. I have no issues with that! :) :) Anyway...


 * I am running the stats against each user for the top edits only(so importance/quality assessment treated as one) and the ones published comply to this. I am reviewing dirty edits randomly and so far i have come across only a few.  I dont want to take anything away from the most enthusiastic participants here just becuase of tools.  I encourage use of AWB/kingbot only for the assessment of importance and tagging WP India.  Since we have top edits count, the factor can be taken off.  If you are fine with it, i will publish stats for the 10 day completion and start awarding. I have a constant eye on assessed ones and also the individual stats - so all is well. Ssriram mt (talk) 01:43, 9 March 2012 (UTC)ssriram_mt


 * Wow... Seems things are much further along than I guessed... Super. Keep up the great work. -- VasuVR ( talk,  contribs ) 03:05, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Great, Sriram. lets rock & roll. Make the changes you want. Award the barnstars. BTW I have suggested your name for Featured Wikimedian of the Week at the chapter portal. You need to update it here. AshLin (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this one - shall i take this up by end of May when i will have something "big" to substantiate. Considering the profile of folks in the nomination, i feel i am no where near it :) Ssriram mt (talk) 01:35, 10 March 2012 (UTC)ssriram_mt

Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir
I wonder what your position on Indian denial is, my opinion is that abuse by security forces is so well documented that adding denials would be being non-neutral in the effort to be neutral. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:51, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The people who are creating/developing these articles often use/misuse defective references, so this is one aspect which needs comprehensive checking. They often use non-neutral language, poor grammar and show POV in many issues.
 * The Indian Government does not deny that there are no incidents at all - there is a free media in India itself that reports, we are a democracy and we have our own Human Rights Commission, and a vigorous though overburdened Supreme Court. The army punish transgessors very strictly. However, what gets investigated and proceeded against are often only those cases where there is clear-cut evidence of wrong-doing. Otherwise, the Armed Forces Special Powers Act gives immunity from prosecution.
 * The article is crappy because of inadequate research, but I'll not improve that myself. AshLin (talk) 19:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply, though "The army punish transgessors very strictly" sounds denialist. Is there a good source for information on AFSPA in relation to Kashmir? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 19:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I stand by what I said. The military, if it takes up a case, is not easily deterred from punishment. A Google search would probably help you regarding AFSPA. AshLin (talk) 03:06, 12 March 2012 (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.

RfA ?
Hello sir. I saw ur contributions n edit counts. N it were above 22,000 with rewier, rollbacker n autopatrolled groups. I wonder that y u havent yet gone for adminship! U are a perfect user to get admin rights. I was thinking to nominate ur name. What do u say?   Yash t  101   22:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks but no. :) To be an admin, one needs to serve the general community in RFCs, discussions, etc. I have made WikiProject India my charge for this year & I just don't want to spend time away from it. Thank you for considering me. It's a great honour though that you think me worthy of being one. Why dont you think of becoming one?. You can do what all is needed for the next six months or so and at around 5000 edits or so, you may like to stand for it. We do need lots of admins. :) AshLin (talk) 02:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I'd love to be one. But after i cross 25,000 edit count. Probably i'll reach 25,000 in December of this year, then i may go for it on 20th so that it closes on 27th (the day i made my 1st edit and 1 year later i m an admin if its a success). This is just my dream n i m 16 yrs old n few editors can oppose due to my age i think so. And thanks for considering me as a future eligible candidate!   Yash t  101   03:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Admins are chosen based on good track records, helpfulness, community service, not losing their cool, not edit-warring etc. It does not require 25K edits only 5 to 10K very responsible ones. :) AshLin (talk) 04:09, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I have seen similar things, Andy Sir became admin with 3k edits and 6 month experince. The reason for me not going for adminship till 25k is that i fear that, i wont be enough experinced as most of the time is spend in editing and creating articles. I created 34 yesterday and 20 day befor yesterday. My aim is to pull it above 300 by 31st march. Anyways, if after few months and after getting more experince and edits, if i felt that i m enough responsible to have the honour of adminship, then i'll go for it. But, Even if i had 50k edits and if i'd feel that i aint responsible and experinced that much, then i will not go for it! Its just that. I m an irresponsible, neuratic, careless and spoiled brat in my real life. Though i make it to top 10 rankers of my skul. I m so impulsive that i fear that i might do something silly at times. I need to be sure that a boy like me is ready for adminship or not!   Yash t  101  Face-smile.svg 01:38, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * U can gess about my bratishness by looking at this incident;
 * Principal of my skul came to my class and told me "The skul has begain just a month ago and i have above 10 complains of urs from teachers. I was thinking to suspend u for 1 week....!!" as i was testing nerves of teachers to maximum.
 * Hearing this, the very next reply that i gave was, "Will this mean that i wont have to do my homework for 1 week??!"
 * And, the entire class, including students, class teacher and even the principal started laughing. But suddenly the principal bursted at me as if i'd asked for his kidney.
 * Then i replied that "Sorry sir, I'll try to control myself, but just little bit"
 * The principal gave last warning to me and went away n called at my home and told my parents, that how wild i was going. But, still i continue the same mischieves, bulling, cracking jokes, harresing. Now even the principal knows that i will not improve. They dont scold me much cuz inspite of all this i m in top 10 rankers of my skul.
 * U can c how really m i in real life. I just want more eidts that will bring me more experince, n more experince will make me little but enough serious to not to missuse admin rights!
 * I seriously have no idea that y i wrote all that sh#% above!   Yash t  101  Face-smile.svg 02:47, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * :) AshLin (talk) 02:54, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Believe me, my parents get more complaints at home about me in Hostel. If you show good understanding of policies, then you can be an admin right now!. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 03:32, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
 * That encouraged me little. Not now but someday i'll go. Thanks guys, for keeping my spirits good.   Yash t  101  Face-smile.svg 03:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Pointillist. I have done that & replaced the reference as well as included mention of Endusulfan being banned in India since that edit. I have also placed a webcite url for the new ref. AshLin (talk) 11:09, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Mmmm, thanks for the samosas. I'll have a drop of lime chutney too, if Papilio demoleus has left any fruit on the tree. - Pointillist (talk) 11:17, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

One thing I couldn't understand
I think there might be some inaccuracies in this reversion because the one that got deleted was more neutral (I think) and presented a fair perspective to the reader. What's your take on that?

And I think there might be an edit-war going on. :) Brendon is  here  11:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

India Assessment 2012
Being ecstatic on having completed 3000 edits on wiki i had changed my section here, I was not aware that  The number of edit counts at that moment will be the decider for grouping, not that at a later date. realizing this i have reverted this and added my name back to the list of junior list , i hope this trifle issue will be overlooked.
 * Now coming to main point. I am currently looking at unassessed Jandk articles. and often find myself in a fix with respect to the importance parameters, besides there are lot of pakistani and seperatists POV and wp:SPS in these articles that sometimes makes these articles look nothing more than a propaganda, any suggestion how to tackle these ? also is there a way in which the importance parameter may be skipped in rare cases, (skipped meaning it would say the imp parameter is not required or something like that ) --  Ð  ℬig  XЯaɣ   06:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I think you can leave the Pakistani items (I have already noted that there are lot of false positives). There are tons of propoganda stuff as well. If you do not wish to shift focus of your work, you can leave those alone as well. Regarding the importance parameters, if you are not sure, you can take an educated guess from the article. If you still find it difficult, you can leave it for others to look at. This will be tackled (you would have seen latest Tag and Assess section added by SSriram mt) by others. Hope this helps. VasuVR  ( talk,  contribs ) 06:56, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
 * yes, thanks for the reply vasu--  Ð ℬig  XЯaɣ   07:22, 24 March 2012 (UTC)


 * As proposed by Vasu, please leave the importance of ambigous pieces of importance. The counts set is based on set of edits at the start of the project and good that you reverted it - even if you stand at 15k at the end of the project, yours would be considered in the first set under 3k.  Please try your hand in AWB - it is a very helpful tool on importance assessment.  I usually don't suggest it for quality assessment but with some expertise, you can use it for that purpose as well.  As again, thanks a lot for the participation. Ssriram mt (talk) 13:04, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:AshLin


A tag has been placed on User:AshLin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Yash t  101  :)  10:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Tag and Assess 2012
Hi Ashlin, long time.. so wanted to touch base with you to know if you are finding things fine in Tag and Assess. With the help of Vasu, i got a good set of worklist and gradually closing them as well. Whenever time permits, i am working on C and B class to check if they are really worth it. The server lag is proving a bit tough for me to check this out. Please let me know for any improvements. Ssriram mt (talk) 03:37, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the piece of suggestions - i am a bit inclined towards assessment myself and cannot help control the insticts of finishing things. I got to learn about so many things in the past one month and pretty confident of taking this to completion (the zero thing is always the focus, though qualitatively).  My plans are to complete assessment by early May and plan to focus on the subsequent cleanup of the articles -  High and Top class will be the primary focus.  I will start publishing listings in a couple of weeks. I usually dont go beyond a setnce of advise, probably would need to expand more :) Ssriram mt (talk) 00:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Population stats
Hi! Do you know if we have any user who deals with population stats related to India? If there is any. I needed some help on the AfD for an article. Articles for deletion/St. George's Forane Church. The church is 200 yr old but is in a small village of Kaipuzha in Kerala. The article claimed that 713 families are members of this church. I interpret that as the largest church in that village. Plus with it's age i found it notable. But couldnt prove that in time. Hence wanted population stats of this village. The article is now deleted and nothing much can be done about it. I should have asked for this quite before. But i totally forgot of it. Good Friday reminded me of this today. But just in case needed in future, do we have any user who deals mostly with this? §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Try User:ApostleVonColorado & User:Sodabottle, principal contributors to Demographics of India. AshLin (talk)
 * [stalker] I've posted some links over on User talk:Animeshkulkarni which you may find useful to store away some day - it's going to be a big job updating the geo articles when the 2011 census results are finally released. Not least because there's often a mismatch between Wiki names and the name used by the government - and it also shows up how many village articles are missing...
 * OT but as for the Hindi stuff, no worries. I figure that some people may like to do a few interwiki links or images as a bit of light relief from assessment. Meanwhile I seem to be doing all other stuff and not much assessment! But it is important to do things like reuniting talk pages with their articles that have moved to other names, not only in itself but it also makes things a lot easier to run automated tools if the underlying data is cleaned up. We're getting there.FlagSteward (talk) 10:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lala Hanumant Sahai
Good Morning Sir! If I am not wrong we met in Bombay wikiconference India in the month of November 2011. I am giving you a trouble here. I had created a new article on Lala Hanumant Sahai which was immediately declined by User:Sitush some 2 days ago. As suggested by him on the tag I re-edited the article and submitted it again leaving a note on his User's talk page. Now he says he does not know Hindi I may ask some other reviewer. I know you are master of Hindi and English. I would request you to please review it give your findings. I do hope a favourable response from you. With thanks in anticipation.

Now I understood about categories
Dear AshLin, Just now I understood about the category thing! It is such a great feeling to learn it. I am very happy. If you remember, I was frustrated as I was not able to understand it. I have even started understanding the reference thing. I referred to your communications and now I was able to understand what you was saying about references. Thanks once again.
