Arutprakasa Vallalar Chidambaram Ramalinga Swamigal
Dear GaneshK,

My new article Arutprakasa Vallalar Chidambaram Ramalinga Swamigal was a complete reconstruction from the old title Jothi Ramalinga Swamigal. For this new title I gave a regular page move option. There are another two articles on Ramalinga swamigal as Vadalur Vallalar and VADALUR VALLALAR. These two articles were in complete cleanup status as the information on those articles was against wikepedia policy. Already one article contained three warning tags. The other one is just a redirect. Thus I manually gave a redirect option on those articles main pages after deleting the contents, but I could not able to do the history merge. Please help me in this regard.--Logic riches (talk) 09:03, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks GaneshK, Its a timely help from your side. As an administrator you are doing a great job by helping others with immediate response. Regards --Logic riches (talk) 02:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter June 2008
✅ : The June 2008 of the India WikiProject newsletter has been published and delivered to the talk pages of the members by TinucherianBot. ( 299 Full Content delivery and 9 Link only delivery ). Special Thanks to Gppande, Mspraveen , Blnguyen and Ganeshk for working on this issue --  TinuCherian  (Wanna Talk?) - 07:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Another Award for you
Hi Ganeshk! Yes, I can't help but share your happiness on the increased participation from Indian Wikipedians :) Though it's been only little less than 10 months here on Wikipedia, I haven't seen such a response with different activities. I guess some of the good 'ol boys of the school are back to business :)

As far as your options are concerned, they very much excite me. Just the other day, I wrote to Gppande about the points-based contest on his talk page while discussing about the newsletter. I'm sure to join hands with you with this activity. Sure, the Tag & Assess 2008 is helping on one hand with assessing those zillions of unassessed Indian articles, but an activity like points based contest following it will help improve those zillion assessed articles to noteworthy status.

I'm game for this contest and it looks like the time is right for working on it. It can be made sure that it is launched just by the time the assessors from Tag & Assess recuperate from the heavy tagging activity.

 * Just when I was wondering how the navigation bar of WP:India can be shortened in length, I saw you do this on the WP:Indian cinema workgroup. Thanks so much! It allows the pages to look less cluttered. Cheers! Mspraveen (talk) 03:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Field parameter
I agree. We have to collect data on that. Also, I have a plan to manually add fields for articles of some categories like sports-related ones to 'sports', food-related ones to 'food', schools/colleges to 'school' etc. as these categories do not have many articles. Currently, all articles with field parameter defined can be seen from Category:India articles using field parameter. How about starting some of these projects? Which ones you would like to join? Thanks. --GDibyendu (talk) 04:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ganeshk,


 * UN/INCPU - one redirect to delete is left over.
 * The bot is approved will you let it run on the other codes?
 * could you detect whether a redirect target is dab and mark this in the log at User:Ganeshbot/UNLOC - then I can go through the pages that are dab by hand.

WP:1.0 Categories
Where can I find the Kingboy plugin for User:Kingboyk/Wikipedia_Assessments_-_Category_creation_plugin ??

Once the categories are done, do I need to dummy page like Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Bihar articles by quality , Because without that even though I ran Bihar here , it was not doing so ... --  TinuCherian  (Wanna Talk?) - 09:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, can your bot add sort keys (based on the WikiProject's name) to the pages it creates? That allows us to alphabetize Category:C-Class articles better. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 08:59, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Terrible merge proposal on Indies
Hi. I'm just posting here because I noticed you've been editing the India Wikiproject page a lot recently. Please help me bring this message to the attention of interested editors.

Please note Talk:Indies

I'm trying to bring this to the attention of the India Wikiproject because there's a complicated merge tag up on several different articles. Indies is just one of them; it also comprises Indianized kingdom, Greater India, and Undivided India, not to mention the Indian subcontinent, which I'm particularly interested in preserving as a term of special interest to geologists. Questions from you welcome on my talk page. Yours from California, arkuat (talk) 05:43, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Portal:Current_events/India
Hi Ganesh, as per Portal:Current_events/India User:Rohit nit has been doing a good job updating the news portal on a regular basis. However the main current events portal page at Portal:Current_events/India needs some serious work. For instance, I've suggested him to continue his good work with the news events under "India in this week..." which he has been doing since the past few weeks. Now if the "Calendar" section may be modified suitably, but I was unable to provide him with suggestions because the template is highly confusing. The template also needs a lot of clean-up as well which I was unable to decipher. I must admit, this has been the only wiki template that I wasn't able to understand well. I was wondering if you can assist us in this regard. Should you have some suggestions, it would be vastly appreciated. How's the weekend going? Cheers! Mspraveen (talk) 13:10, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

infobox
I just read that you created an infobox for the 7/11 bombings in mumbai. I was reading about creating infoboxes today, but I was a bit lost on how and where to save it. The documentation thing got to me. Can you tell me how this is done? With the aligning and stuff. I got till here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Start_infobox_page

Thanks, Lihaas (talk) 02:22, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry to come again. But I wasn't quite understanding the loading part. I started a "Template: Infobox XXX" and was editing it, but the stuff wasn't coming out. Then I tried the documentation, I didn't understand what to install in there.

I was wondering if it's possible, perhaps, that I create the infobox and in the Template: Infobox XXX format and then can you install it on the server? Thanks, Lihaas (talk) 00:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Portal:Current_events/India
Hi Ganeshk, thanks for your reply. Glad to know that you can help with this. And Vanaja (film) - thanks for your nice words. Sadly so, articles on relatively unknown films are hardly recognized and meet with few takers on the GA assessments. It is sadly been lying up there for more than 20 days now :) What's keeping you busy these days? Btw, were you supporting the N-deal (if that is of interest)? Cheers!

Dubai protection
Hi Ganesh, if you have a second, could you please Dubai for me? It has become a constant target of vandals and has been vandalized at least 22 times within the past month. There have been a limited number of constructive anon edits to the article, but the vast majority have been vandal attacks. I think protecting the article to autoconfirmed users for a few weeks might help stabilize the situation. Thanks! AreJay (talk) 23:29, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Ganesh, thanks for your input and for the link. We've countered the issue so far through tools like Huggle. Hopefully, this will keep the article relatively clean in the short run.  Maybe we can wait a little longer to build up some support data on anon vandal frequency and make the case, if simple rollbacks don't seem to be working at that point.  Thanks AreJay (talk) 00:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

AWB error with the category creation plugin

Ganeshbot use
Hi Ganesh, I was wondering if your bot could do the following for Wikproject Mumbai.


 * 1) Scan all articles on Wikipedia.
 * 2) Search for the term "Mumbai" or "Bombay" within the first 25 words of the lead.
 * 3) If there is a match, then list it.

After the list is generated, we could then manually weed out false positives. After that is done we could probably tag articles with WP:MUM at a much faster rate. Let me know. Regards, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  19:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was what I had in mind. But there is too much of Bollywood content appearing. Is there a way of filtering out that? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  09:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, that filters it down. I went through those records and found some additional categories that could be filtered down:


 * People from Mumbai
 * Companies based in Mumbai
 * University of Mumbai alumni
 * Companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (removed this linkage to Mumbai)

For the articles in the above three cases, they would need to be evaluated on a case-to-case basis. Some examples include a Cardinal born in Mumbai and served in Karachi, a Pakistani poet born in Mumbai, but left soon after. If this filter can be done, all the remaining articles could be automatically slapped with mumbai=yes in the WP:India template. =Nichalp  «Talk»=  07:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Need Help
I created WP 1.0 categories ( with intersection) with the category plugin for WikiProject Amiga which is a child of WP:COMPUTING. WikiProject Computing is the banner and |amiga=yes|amiga-importance= is the parameter. I used Template:WikiProject Computing/Categories which is same code for Template:WP India/Categories

This is used in WikiProject Computing similar to WP India.



(The above code is distored here, so kindly see Template:WikiProject Computing ) But no stats are populated for other importance than Top and None... See :

If you see Talk:AROS Research Operating System which is given Mid importance for Amiga, still populates as unknown.
