User talk:Gaurav1146

Welcome!
Hi Gaurav1146, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

Re : Your Queries
Hi, Guarav:

I can find this page, but what must I do to write here? Or is this the right way?

Antonio

1a) Yes, the articles are case-sensitive, with the exception that the first letter of any article is converted to upper case. For example, 'singapore' and 'Singapore' is recongized as the same, whereas 'Anti-Sikh Riots' and 'Anti-Sikh riots' are not.

1b) To create a redirect, type in #REDIRECT article name to be redirected to then click on Save page.

2) There are two kinds of search engines you can use. When Wikipedia is experiencing not-so-high traffic levels, the Wiki search engine is used and I must admit it doesn't produce very good results. During high traffic, Google/Yahoo search is substituted. If you are just like me who prefers the good old Google within Wikipedia, use this URL :

http://www.google.com/search?domains=en.wikipedia.org&num=50&ie=iso-8859-1&oe=iso-8859-1&q=Wikipedia&btnG=Google+Search&sitesearch=en.wikipedia.org

I hope I have answered your questions. Happy editing! :)

News sources/Internet/Africa
Hello Gaurav1146,

Recently I created a new subpage of News sources. If you take a look at the talk page you will see the argument against a speedy delete. Could you please give your reasons for listing this page on speedy delete. Barnaby dawson 12:07, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The moment when I visited the page it had just one external link and no write up. I thought a page with just one External link and no introduction was not a suitable article. So I marked it for deletion. And probably I was not wrong as same was felt by the administrators. Gaurav1146 12:27, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The point is that it isn't by itself a page. It's a subpage. It's not accessible except through News sources. It is also clear that it can be made into a useful subpage. As such it is not reasonable to list it for deletion especially speedy deletion. Please can you remove the tag for deletion (I can't as I created the page).

Perhaps you came across this page out of the context of News sources. If so could you tell me how. I do not want other subpages still in their infancy to be deleted in error.

In general a subpage with this little text would not be useful. However, the purpose of the news sources collection is to provide NPOV by categorizing news sources a heirarchical structure. As such there must will be subpages with little on them. Barnaby dawson 12:42, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I got your point and I have removed the tag. I came to this page through RC Patrol. Sorry for the inconvenience. Gaurav1146 12:57, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. I will consider putting explanatory text at the top of the subpages of News sources to explain why they exist and to prevent this from happening again. Barnaby dawson 13:16, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re : Query
Hi Gaurav1146,

Regarding your Photoelasticity article, first of all try wikifying it. Requests for expansion is one of the many ways, in which you have already done so. Another way is to categorize the article as mechanics-related. You can also look around and view the page history of some other similiarly-related articles and see who are the major mechanics contributors which you can seek help for.

Good luck with your latest article! :)

Votes for deletion
Welcome to Wikipedia! Recently, you suggested that Department of Microbiology,University of Dhaka,Bangladesh should be deleted, but you didn't get it all the way to the page where we could vote on it. I've finished the nomination for you, so you can go here and add your vote and your original thoughts on the article. If you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. Joyous 00:22, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm on my way to work, so here's a short version, and I'll add details later. For now, go  here to add your vote to the current discussion.  Just click the small "edit" tab to add your comments and vote.  For general (and some say, confusing) instructions on how to add articles to the list for deletion, check out the bottom of the Votes for deletion page.   It's really not as hard as the instructions would indicate, and I'll be glad to clarify them when I get home this afternoon.    Joyous 12:07, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Surrealist Group of Pakistan
Gaurav1146, the article on the Surrealist Group of Pakistan was already deleted upon a consensus vote. There is no evidence to prove that they ever really existed. Please do not keep adding them back to the Surrealism article, unless you can find the names of all the surrealists in that group, their artworks, where they exhibited, and all the names of their publications, and proving that they are notable. The consensus from the Wikipedia community on the Surrealist Group of Pakistan was that they were a hoax, unless you have evidence to prove that they were real, and you can provide answers to the questions that I asked you above, then we can work on an article for them and mention them back in the Surrealism article as well. In the meantime, they are a hoax.Classicjupiter2 16:05, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Just to be clear, there was certainly no wikipedia consensus that the group is a "hoax". There was a 6 to 2 vote to delete the article, which would more accurately be called a 75% majority than a consensus, but it appeared to satisfy the counting admin enough to delete the article. I have no idea how "real" the group is, or if the author of the statement attributed to them is really from Pakistan. But I do know that Classicjupiter2's statement above is intentionally inaccurate and misleading.  ~leif &#9786; HELO 03:07, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

Naming convention
Hey Gaurav,

According to Naming conventions, second and consecutive words in titles should always be in lowercase unless they are proper nouns. Also, I'd recommend you move Anti-Sikh Riots into something more specific (1984 Anti-Sikh riots?) or, even better, integrate it into the page on Indira Gandhi.

btw, like your articles: very well written and clear!

cheers, Gaurav 14:44, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re: Photoelasticity
The change that I made was to correct misspelling of wavelength. I don't know anything about the subject, however, one suggestion that I can make is to change "History of Photoelasticty" and "Principle of Photoelasticity" to simply "History" and "Principle(s)". --Berkut 22:15, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Spell Checker
Though I am not Jimbo Wales, I can give you a suggestion. Put whatever you write in a program like Microsoft Word, run spell check, and paste it into the Edit page. Zscout370 16:23, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletions
before you mark an article for speedy deletion, it's really important to check the History (see, for example, Oona King). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 17:39, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re : Deleting Images
Hi Gaurav again, :)

If you want to delete an image, put it up for Images for Deletion. If you just need to replace an image, you can just overwrite an existing one by uploading the image with the same filename, and then contact me to delete the older versions. If both are neither what you wanted to do, let me know which images you're having problems with and I'll see what I can do. ;)

Zeenat Aman
Hello Gaurav,

I recently ran into the article Zeenat Aman of which you added most of the text on February 7, 2005. Within the text, there were many HTML line breaks (  ) and spaces (&nbsp). This makes me believe that either you copied the text from the Web or that you were trying to format the output of the article. If you're not aware, I just wanted to mention the following points:


 * Any text copied directly from the Web must be in the public domain.
 * Formatting control codes like  and &nbsp should be used sparingly, and aren't necessary when needing to indent or start a new paragraph (like in the article mentioned).

Please review your other articles to make sure the same issue isn't there.

Thanks. =)

Images for deletion
Thanks. They have been deleted. I left Image:Amisha.jpg as it is clearly a magazine cover, and thus has a source and has been tagged as such. Cheers. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 07:14, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

I see from the page history for Cut Ending to Knights of the Old Republic II that you once edited it.

Re : Celebrity Images
Hi Gaurav,

To delete any image(s), list them at Wikipedia:Image For Deletion. As far as I can recall, "scantily clad" images isn't a criteria for deletion. See What_Wikipedia_is_not for details.

- Best regards, Mailer Diablo 16:58, 7 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi Gaurav,


 * You didn't tell me which are the alleged pages yet! =P Anyway, point taken, although personally a few (rather than one, but not too many on the other hand) would be good for variety purposes.


 * If these images really annoy you, Be bold! and list them on Images for Deletion with your reasons, they should be processed in one week if there are no objections.


 * Best regards, - Mailer Diablo 08:44, 8 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Sorry to interfere in your conversation, but if you find a scantily clad image, insert &#123;{lc}}. Basically, it just keeps track of such images and can, in the future, depending on WP's policy, be dealt in whatever way. pamri 07:28, August 13, 2005 (UTC)


 * Well, &#123;{lc}} used to categorise the articles under Category:Images of people with little clothing but the category was deleted. Mainly, the template's function is to help track such images. pamri 11:36, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

flag of India
Raul refers not like to select a featured article on the same day that there is an anniversary on the related topic. He feels that the 'Independence of India' event and the 'flag of india' are too close a subject to be put on the main page. He had earlier put it on the 13th, but I req him to at least advance it for a day. India's flag was hoisted on the midnight of Aug 14, so at least it has some connection. Also, for about 5 and a half hours, the flag of India will be featured on 15 aug with respect to IST. (New article is selected 5:30 am IST) =Nichalp «Talk»=  18:46, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Re : Help:Donna Reed
Hi Gaurav1146,

Filenames are CaSe-SeNsItIvE. Your image was uploaded as Image:DonnaReed.JPG, while the existing one is Image:DonnaReed.jpg. (i.e. JPG and jpg are different)

I would say make the resolution of the uploaded image smaller (300px is reaonsable), to strengthen your claim for fair use. And if possible, provide the source of the film where you got it from.

If you have any further questions, let me know on my talkpage! :)

Re : WikiBreak
Hi Gaurav,

Thanks for your concern, that was greatly appreciated. My WikiStress greatly improved, especially after Raul654's decision to promote Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore). I'm not yet going back to active editing until after 2006 Chinese New Year, but I'll be settling a conduct issue aganist a trouble user in the meantime.

If you need me for anything urgent, let me know on my talkpage! :)

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome,, to Esperanza, the Wikipedia member association! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is the StressUnit, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. Redwolf24 runs the spam to keep members up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Possibles.

I encourage you to take an active voice in the running of Esperanza. We have a small government system, headed by our Administrator general, Celestianpower, and guided by the Advisory Committee comprised of FireFox, Flcelloguy, Titoxd, and Karmafist. The next set of elections will be in February, and I would be glad to see you vote, or even consider running for a position.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Celestianpower by email or talk page or the Esperanza talk page. Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work! Cheers, Sango  123   (talk)  21:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Another Esperanzial note...
Hi again Esperanzians! Well, since our last frolic in the realms of news, the Advisory Council has met twice more (see WP:ESP/ACM2 and WP:ESP/ACM3). As a result, the charter has been ammended twice (see here for details) and all of the shortcuts have been standardised (see the summary for more details). Also of note is the Valentines ball that will take place in the Esperanza IRC channel on the 14th of February (tomorrow). It will start at 6pm UTC and go on until everyone's had enough! I hope to see you all there! Also, the spamlist has been dissolved - all Esperanzians will now recieve this update "newsletter".

The other major notice I need to tell you about is the upcoming Esperanza Advisory Council Elections. These will take place from 12:00 UTC on February 20th to 11:59 UTC on February 27th. The official handing-over will take place the following day. Candidates are able to volunteer any time before the 20th, so long as they are already listed on the members list. Anyone currently listed on the memberlist can vote. In a change since last time, if you have already been a member of the leadership, you may run again. Due to the neutrality precident, I will not vote for anyone.

Yours, as ever, Esperanzially,

--Cel es tianpower háblame 09:00, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

(message delivered by FireFox using AWB on Celestianpower's behalf)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Christinaapplegate.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Christinaapplegate.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Abu Badali 22:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Abu,


 * I had added the image which was a magazine cover, so qualified under fair use(as per fair use guidelines at that time). The article's edit history shows that you have removed the image. If you feel that the image does not qualify under fair use you may either mark it for deletion or request an admin to delete it.Gaurav1146 03:45, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello, Gaurav.


 * Acording to the text on Magazinecover, magazine covers can only be used "to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question" and "it is not acceptable to use images with this tag in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover...". That is, it's fair use to use the image Image:Christinaapplegate.jpg to ilustrate the Cosmopolitan (magazine) article ("the issue of the magazine in question"), but not to illustrate Christina Applegate ("the person or persons depicted on the cover").


 * One image is not fair use per se. The use of an image is what may or not be fair. Thanks, and happy editing! --Abu Badali 06:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Re: Image deletion
You had placed a lot of messages related to deletion of images on my talk page. I had replied earlier that as per the guidelines at the time when I uploaded these image magazine covers came under fair use. But now those guidelines have been slightly modified and magazine covers come only under fair use if they are used in an article related to the magazine.

But I have some questions about two screenshots that I had uploaded which are Image:DonnaReed.JPG and Image:JamesDonald.JPG. I believe that screenshots do come under fair use. Please let me know why you have marked them for deletion. Gaurav1146 10:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello, Gaurav1146. I understand that image deletion warnings may be very bothersome. But, as far as I understand, they are a necessary step of the image deletion bureocracy. Hadn't I put the messages, OrphanBot would have done that. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
 * About screenshots, as described in bold letters on the film-screenshot template, they should only be used for identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents. Using a movie screeshot to illustrate an article about the person depicted on the image, with the movie itself being just mentioned on the article, is not considered fair use under the Wikipedia guidelines.
 * Let me know if I may still be of any help. Best Regards, --Abu Badali 14:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

1984 Anti-Sikh riots
Please do not remove redirects and replace with a copy from another page. Doing this has the effect of erasing the page history. Please use the move feature.

Non-free use disputed for Image:TheRiseandFalloftheThirdReich.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TheRiseandFalloftheThirdReich.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:36, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

NYC Meetup
You would be very welcome to join us at the meetup. We would like to accommodate both local people and non-local people, and have scheduled accordingly. The "official" meeting from 2:30 to 5 at Columbia University will focus mostly on local issues (and you're welcome to join us there too); but the dinner and events afterward will be of a general nature. Also, the special behind-the-scenes tour of the American Museum of Natural History earlier that morning (it hasn't been scheduled exactly yet) will also be of a general nature. By the way, last time we were joined by User:Dwaipayanc, who had also attended a meetup in India.--Pharos (talk) 05:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Vote for a post-meetup restaurant
I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Meetup/NYC. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless. Voting ends 24 hours after this timestamp (because I said so). ScienceApologist (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:KellyBrook.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:KellyBrook.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Wikis Take Manhattan
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City.

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
