Re:India/ England related articles
Hi Darrendeng, We have lots of articles on both India and England and lots to do in them.

I am myself a member of WikiProject India. You are welcome to join us there. We have many activities going related to India. There is also a similar project related to England. That should be of interest to you.

Let me know if you are looking for more specific answers. I will be glad to help. &mdash; Lost (talk) 08:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Is my account for making mass edits. Primarily I use WP:AWB. At the moment it is going through a backlog of articles labelled as "unreferenced" ( and dating the tags so that ediotrs hav some idea of how log they have been tagged for. This focusses effort on the older tagged articles and helps generate a sense of acheivement.  We already do the same with a lot of other tags like "cleanup" and "wikify".

Edit to Home
I see you added the following quote to the list of "popular sayings" in the article on Home, "Home away from home". Now, yes, that is something that is said all the time, but take a look at the other entries in the list. They are all about home, they are all efforts to define what home is, and how one's home is different from one's house, how people feel about home, etc. "Home away from home" just doesn't fit there. The list is not supposed to be a complete list of quotes that use the word "home". It's not supposed to be indescriminate. I've had to prune it several times because people keep adding random quotes, and I try hard to keep it limited to quotes that actually serve to clarify the subject of the article. I have not yet removed, "home away from home" because I would like your input to explain why you feel it adds to the section. Why do you think it should be there? ~  ONUnicorn (Talk 17:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Yikes! don't be a spammer
Hi -- you've added enough commercial links to articles to set off the radar at WikiProject Spam. Links like those to conexmetals.com just aren't allowed. See these key Wikipedia policies and guidelines:


 * ”Wikipedia:Conflict of interest” — this guideline says in a nutshell not to write about yourself or your company; also don’t link to your own site.


 * ”External links” — in particular see:
 * ”Links normally to be avoided”
 * ”Advertising and conflicts of interest”


 * ”What Wikipedia is not” — in particular, see:
 * ”Wikipedia is not a soapbox” for advertising or self-promotion


 * ”Spam” — especially the sections:
 * "How not to be a spammer"
 * ”External link spamming”

Normally when we see this many links, we get pretty annoyed because we're dealing with a drive-by professional spammer with no other interest in the project. Clearly in your case, though, you've been adding some good content here and we appreciate your work -- just, please, no more of these links.

Thanks! --A. B. 01:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:36, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
