Re: Your note
Hi, you said "You have to keep in mind that Vidhan Soudha doesn't come under the skyline category. The UB City is the the business hub of Bangalore. Vidhansoudha is the legislative building and doesn't symbolise the importance bangalore business importance in India and the World. What I prepose is to fill the skyline like how it is done on the London article. In which both Vidhan Soudha and UB City can be represented in the same skyline spot"

So what? The question isn't about whether Vidhana Soudha comes under the "skyline" category, the question is what image should represent Bangalore in the infobox. I would venture that a contest for that position between Vidhana Soudha and any other building in Bangalore is a no-contest. The Vidhana Soudha is simply the most well known building in the city. Contrary to your claim, the UB City is NOT the business hub of Bangalore. The London article is not a featured article, so its a little hard for me to draw inspiration from it. Unfortunately, UB City is just not representative of Bangalore. Thanks AreJay (talk) 00:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Agni 3 Range image
Hi, thanks for sending me that message. I created the range pic based on official government information, which states that Agni-3 has a "range greater than 3500 km" and payload of 1.5 tons. Based on that, I have given the ranges.

The range will increase if the payload reduces, but for now, I'd stick to official Government of India information.

The Bharat-rakshak analysis is quite good, and i have interacted with the author of that study. however, the analysis, while most likely accurate, is an outside analysis, and has scope for error. Best to keep official info. Cheers.  Sniperz 11 @CS 08:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Cruise missiles and ballistic missiles
You'll note that the article about the Brahmos weapon states that it's a cruise missile, not a ballistic missile. The two are very different beasts since the cruise is under propulsion for the majority of free flight, whereas the ballistic has an initial burn, then is unpowered until a mid flight second or third stage which injects further power. Given that the Brahmos is a cruise missile, and not a ballistic missile I'll remove it again.

ABM WMD's?
Who told you that ABM's are weapons of Mass destruction. ABM's take out delivery systems of WMD's. Chanakyathegreat (talk) 02:03, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

WMD's are weapons that kill large number of people. That's WMD's are Nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Not even missiles qualify as WMD's since they are weapon delivery systems.

Your addition of Radars and ABM's into the list need to be removed because it did not fall under WMD's.

Russian Edit Warring
Hey Enthusiast, I just wanted to let you know that there's been another eruption of POV pushing at the superpower page. It appears that it might be the infamous Versace 11 stirring trouble again, but we don't know for sure. One user appeared out of the blue one day, acting like he had been monitoring the situation for a while, and provides a huge number of substandard sources. They then went on to add Russia as a superpower to the article. I removed, and there's been a debate going on for a little while now. We've rounded up everybody, and me, Nirvana, Zebulin, and Deavanger have been hashing it out. We're concerned about the ramifications of this new upwelling and how to handle it. There's a convo on my talk page if you want the abbreviated version. All the best! --Hobie (talk) 02:36, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

HAL Tejas
Thank you for your question regarding whether the Tejas is operational. I am a professional defense aerospace analyst, so, yes, I follow such matters closely. The traditional qualification for being “in service” is when the first operational unit achieves “Initial Operational Capability” (IOC) with full-production examples. There is a process followed in a military aircraft’s entering service that is not well-understood among the general public. First, a training unit will “stand up” (without aircraft) to prepare for the receipt of aircraft and to develop a training syllabus for instructor pilots and support personnel. Next, the first aircraft will be received and accepted – what is known as “induction” in Indian parlance – but this is not the same thing as IOC. IOC occurs when sufficient full-production-standard aircraft have been received by an operational squadron (a fighter squadron in this case) and the pilots and ground crews are sufficiently trained to perform their basic missions on their new aircraft; when this first unit is declared operationally ready, the aircraft type will have achieved IOC. When they have achieved a satisfactory level of skill the full range of mission responsibilities and shown that the aircraft adequately performs them, then it achieves “Full Operational Capability” (FOC).

At this point in time, HAL has not yet finished delivering its “pre-series” examples, the Limited Series Production (LSP) aircraft. LSP aircraft differ from production-standard aircraft in that each LSP is different from every other example; they help the engineers and manufacturers to remedy problems and improve the design’s “producibility”. LSP-2 first flew this past June, LSP-3 & 4 are due by year’s end, and the remaining four in the first half of next year. LSP-3 is reported to be “near-production standard”. Induction of the first of 20 Full Production examples currently on order is planned to begin later in 2009 or early in 2010; IOC is planned for 2011.

Furthermore, the Tejas is not a Generation 4.5 design; design generation is not a matter of IOC dates or whether one or a few of the latest technologies have been integrated, but rather an issue of design approach, and the Tejas’ drawn-out term of development has slipped its service entrance to when nations with more advanced aerospace industries are producing Gen 4.5 aircraft and designing Gen 5 fighters. You can find more information on the talk pages of the Fighter aircraft and HAL Tejas articles. Best regards, Askari Mark (Talk) 04:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Details on the missiles
I am puzzled by you adding some information on Brahmos-IB in the Brahmos page. You also said that Brahmos-IB is different from Brahmos-II. There is no source to quote for this information. Please don't post any information without properly sourcing it. Also I would like you to correct the Ship-to-air to Air-to-land.

Regarding Nirbhay, no specific date has been announced. From open source, it's in 2009. No information on the Agni-III SLBM test. So the ATV will be carrying Sagarika for the time being. Also Prasun's blog has some info. He claims that the ATV is an experimental submarine. The first nuclear sub that will test the sea based deterrence capability. But it seems the ATV is the first nuclear sub that will be operationalized into service to complete the triad. He also explain that there will be follow on subs that are larger and more capable. That will be the ones carrying the Agni-III SLBM. It seems that the test of Agni-III will take place only after the ATV is commissioned. According to Sandeep Unnithan the journalist of India today, the ATV will be launched in 2009. Commissioning may be in 2010.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 03:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't understand the following.


 * "DRDO also comfirmed for the time being India and Russia are only pursuing the hypersonic missile and that the long range BrahMos II will begin development only after the Nirbhay is tested in 2009 so that Russia can participate too without disobeying the MTCR. DRDO scientists also said that unlike the BrahMos 1 which is only being used by India. The Russian forces have shown keen interest in the BrahMos Hypersonic."


 * How come suddenly there are three version of Brahmos. Brahmos-1 exits which we all know as the Supersonic Brahmos. Now Brahmos Hypersonic (Also referred in the media as the Brahmos-2) is under development. Now which is the third one?


 * Can you provided the source?Chanakyathegreat (talk) 13:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think you got confused. Let me explain. Brahmos 1 is the supersonic cruise missile in service. Brahmos 2 is the Hypersonic missile under development. So there are only two missiles and not three.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 17:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I would like to convey to you that, you are supposed to provide the link of the article when you edit it. Just because you know something or you assume something to be like that will not mean that the edit can be made in Wikipedia. It becomes personal opinion. So desist from such edits and only add those things that are provided with articles. Happy editing.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 14:31, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * There is no longer ranged version. Everything will be within the 300 km range. Also there is only two different types of Brahmos. Brahmos-1 Supersonic and Brahmos-2 Hypersonic.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 14:47, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Improving the Indian and WMD page
I would request you to rewrite the whole article with just WMD's. That's Nuclear weapons, Chemical weapons and Biological weapons. Just to see how such an article to be created, check this link.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 14:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I request to you to remove the Non-WMD stuff. Even the delivery mechanisms are not required just because with the size of nuclear weapons getting reduced, even a human being can become a delivery mechanism. So it's useless. Try to bring it to the standard of U.S and WMD's.Chanakyathegreat (talk) 15:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hi,

Regarding ur qns, most of it is not open source, and may be confidential, so best not to publicize it even if we do know.... however, from Open source scouring, u seem to have got the asnwers urself, and are better informed than me, but I'll try and answer ur qns:

1. Bazalt on Gorshkov - these launchers will be removed to accommodate the ski ramp. Don't know if Brahmos or any other missile will be incorporated, but given that the CBG should have at least one frigate or destroyer, there shouldn't be much problem about firepower.

2. Ashwin - No idea. Nothin in Open Source, and best leave it at that rather than speculating. Won't be able to use on wiki either (without a ref).

3. Brahmos - as u point out, most future classes will have it. Rajput class already has it. Not sure about teh rest. Not OS. May be confidential.

Hope that answered some doubts. Keep up the good work with editing.

Cheers  Sniperz 11 @CS 12:31, 19 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi,


 * 1. Iran and India seems highly highly unlikely, especially given the present situation. Iranian missiles are more an outgrowth of their reverse engg of some tech they've got from Russian and CHinese missile sales to them. What you say does sound interesting though.... but not sure if it should be put on the open net.... you can contact me by mail (the ID is on my user page), and i guess we can discuss this further.


 * 2. Vertical launch is an amazing thing, and gives out ships a far more important and extensive operational flexibility. VLS saves more space - now we can have 16 missiles rather than just 8, and in the place saved, can have SAMs or radars or something else there.


 * 3. Not sure where the Dhanush comes in into the picture in our missile inventory - govt has not given any info about it, but I guess its a TD. The 500 km came from news sources, but 1500 km seems highly impossible - at least in the Prithvi platform - check out Arun's page on BR for info. As for the extended missile ranges, the reason govt gives these ranges is for a conservative estimate, in its operational role. if the range is larger, no one will confirm. So better to leave it at that. If we have right now only a 1000 kg warhead, then there is no use of talking about range with a 500 kg warhead that we don't have.


 * 4. Interesting report about that... guess it must be an indigenous rocket pod being tested.... not sure though. Good find.


 * Cheers.  Sniperz 11 @CS 09:05, 20 December 2008 (UTC)


 * 1. The Akash thing has been discredited - it was never meant to have a nuke on it.... only cold war era ABMs had nukes, and only because they were not very accurate, and thus, needed a much larger sure-kill area that conventional explosives couldnt have done with the small warhead weight restrictions.
 * 2. Brahmos warhead has size restrictions, which limit it to conventional role (which was what it was designed for anyway). Even if we can fit in a nuke to it, I doubt we'd blare it out, especially considering that its a JV, putting a nuke will endanger russia in the MTCR, and also, we are looking to export it... imagine the outcry. We have other missiles to do the nuke delivery role. Keeping Brahmos conventional decreases the threat that Pak will launch a nuke if we launch a Brahmos. If they know that it isn't a nuke coming at them, they are less likely to retaliate with a nuke.
 * 3. Only Pak will try and blow its trumpet and talk about nuke armed weapons, blah blah blah. A dog that cant bite will need to bark much more. A tiger is menacing enough to look at that it doesn't need to even open its mouth. Either way, the whole world (ie, the people that matter) know that we have nuke-capable missiles. No need to blare it out.
 * 4. No need to advertise our missile capabilities.... people know we have them. And govt will certainly not release any info just to please the media or wiki editors.


 * I suggest that we take this discussion off-wiki, by mail preferably... u can mail me via the link. Also, I suggest that you don't post that much personal info on the net, esp on wiki.... No offense.


 * Cheers.  Sniperz 11 @CS 11:52, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi.... Thanks for the wikilove. Hope ur day went well. I've deleted some of the talk stuff....I dont think theres anything to remove frm ur end.


 * I saw the India_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction page.... seems pretty good... only got a problem with teh image displays... I think some of the images can be removed, such as the Klub, Popeye and Moskit for ex, since the links seem to be enough. Some of the image captions also could be tweaked. Otherwise, it seems well referenced. Brahmos is not nuke-capable. A bit more on the doctrine side would also be good. I think some of the info on missiles, such as their description is not needed, and can be excised. I'll also try and help out, with the language and organization. But overall, the page seems pretty good, well referenced, and doesn't give out any non-public info.  Sniperz 11 @CS 07:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:24, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Meru cabs
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Meru cabs, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.merucabs.com/about-us.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:05, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Meru cabs


A tag has been placed on Meru cabs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Non-Free rationale for File:SIAM POSTER.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SIAM POSTER.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Orphaned non-free image File:SIAM poster 3.png
 Thanks for uploading File:SIAM poster 3.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a template, along with your question, beneath this message.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Mahindra XUV500.png
Thanks for uploading File:Mahindra XUV500.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:05, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Mahindra XUV500.png
Thanks for uploading File:Mahindra XUV500.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 19:04, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:RajkotBRTS.png
Thanks for uploading File:RajkotBRTS.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:45, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
