Proposed deletion of Titsup.com
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Titsup.com, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? D C Edwards 1966  16:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your message. I have no problem with titsup.com being restored. J I P | Talk 06:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The article was about a non-notable website, and as such should have been speedily deleted under WP:WEB. If you want to create a new article about the slang phrase, do so; but not under that name. -- Orange Mike  |   Talk  16:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Titsup.com
I have nominated Titsup.com, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Titsup.com.

Surface Condenser
Hello,

one thing i could not understand in the surface condenser article:

Why does the steam need to be condensed to water? Does this not make it lose energy, therefore needing more energy to be put into it again later before it can be returned to the steam turbines? Does this not therefore make the process less efficient as it requires more raw material to re-heat water into steam - when it was steam in the first place?

Thank you in advance, and eagerly awaiting your reply :-) BigSteve (talk) 13:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Sri Anirvan
Hi Gurubrahma, I started the Sri Anirvan article for you, using all your links from the India/Quiz. I'm hoping you can help with some specific things, as well as any other improvements you care to make, of course! Best, WikiJedits (talk) 16:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I couldn't access the Banglapedia link you provided, so you might want to check if it had extra info that could be included?
 * Do you know how to use Bengali script? I don't, so have put his name in Roman alphabet only for now.
 * I don't really know how to do redirect pages - do you? It seems there is an alternate spelling: Sri Aniravan so it'd be great if we could make that page and direct it to this one.


 * Thank you for the star, that was very kind! And so is your help. Great to have that redirect page. When I tried a different computer I finally did get into to the Banglapedia page, so I added something too, as well as the info Amondal provided on my talk page.

Re:Navin Chawla
Hi, nice to see your message but unfortunately I neither took that photo nor I knew of Navin Chawla earlier. But yes, a search on Google images showed same face so I assume it is him only. Actually I had uploaded that photo for article Pather Panchali before Dwaipayanc was going to put it on FAC. I took it from library of PIB which donates thousands of photos every year to media and various organizations free of cost. Also PIB website mentions that photos can be used for academic purposes. I had uploaded it on commons under same pretext. --GP <font color="black" face="cursive">Pande  talk!  18:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Question on Neologisms
According to the appropriate Wiki page, neologisms can be used only if the sources are reliable and they are reliable only if the word is specifically described in the news sources and not just used as a term for the sake of using a term.

What I wanted to ask is that a majority of the news sources on the article use the word in reference to the terrorist network, which is almost always called a "saffron terror network". Does this still appropriate as a term or is it almost used as a name?

Note: This is for future reference and eventual resubmission. Silver seren C 20:50, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I can understand that. It seems to me that Saffron Terror would do much better as a sub-section under Hindu Extremism. I'm still a bit confused as to why that page was ever deleted when we have extremism pages for other religions. As long as it's presented in a non-biased light, the article should be okay. I certainly got more than enough hits on Google News for it. Silver  seren C 14:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

RBI
Well, you know how the Americans think they're the only ones alive on this planet, so most of the things online, go according to their whims and fancies.

So, I thought, let's be a bit fair.

RBI, redirects to Run Batted In, which as we all know is a baseball term, and baseball is an American sport.

Sometime back, a vote was held to redirect it to the disambig page. Someone said, English is NOT a primary language of India, and hence there should be preference to non-Indian artices.

The Americans voted and made the article redirect to Run Batted In, so I feel, we should all have another vote.

So, please vote, on whether you support or oppose the redirect to RBI (disambiguation) rather than Run batted in.

The earlier debate can be found at Talk:RBI (disambiguation).

The new poll can be found at Talk:RBI

Speedy deletion nomination of Babuji
A tag has been placed on Babuji 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 blatant 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Problem with India-specific Theologians
Hi,

In recent times, I have been facing problems with a particular user who is not at all interested in India-specific Theologians. The user keeps adding proposed for deletion tags. Recently, he has compiled a voluminous list of India-specific Theologians whom he proposes to delete.

The user seems to be following three simple steps:

1. Add the tag for deletion and propose it for deletion within a specific period 2. Wait and watch 3. Delete completely

This user, rather I would add, is on a deletion-spree. Kindly check on the user. He succeeded in deleting Scott L. Harris [].

We are working for Public and social welfare from last 12 years, our Organization is identified by the name:

Utkarsh Samajik Shaikshanik Anusandhan Avam Gramin Vikas Sansthan.

As Utkarsh we are working on the grass root level for the welfare of society. As we look for a general introduction of Utkarsh Utkarsh organization was established in the year 1998 with a motive to eradicate social evils that are deep routed in our society since long and also to fight against various cultural and environmental problems that are growing rapidly in our society.

Due to unfavorable conditions that are prevailing in our rural and urban cultural environment, today’s youth and affluent class is getting socially insensible and self centered, so with a view to change this narrow thinking, doing something constructive for society and to bring social reforms, a group of  youth  established Utkarsh.

MSU Interview
Dear Gurubrahma,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Proposed deletion of Anjali Bhagwat


The article Anjali Bhagwat has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article has no references

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts. — xaosflux  Talk 01:37, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

RJ MALISHKA

 * Hi Gurubrahma, as the creator of this article, I think the Article should be now titled RJ Malishka, actually I had realized my mistake few days after creating the article, but I didn't know the technicalities of changing the title of the article...infact I was about to raise a query at the Teahouse for making a request to change the article title to RJ Malishka...  If you can change it to RJ Malishka then it would be much appropriate and appreciated ... thank you --Adamstraw99 (talk) 15:29, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Silver Air Force Symbol....
Gurubrahma,

I, David Webb, am the one that created the silver 3d Air Force Symbol in 2003 for the 314 Fuels Management Flight API (Advanced Petroleum Institute) Award. I spoke with Air Force PR and Licensing yesterday about this. They agree that I should be credited for my work. The AF symbol was created in paint shop pro and imported via corel draw. Should you like to speak with Air Force licensing they can be reached at 210-652-6058.

Now, put my shit back up!

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pushpendra Kumar Garg


The article Pushpendra Kumar Garg has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Mdaniels5757 (talk) 18:06, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Help on wikipedia article Jai Shri Ram
Hi Gurubrahma,

I see you are an admin and a respected editor in Wikipedia, having good knowledge in Hinduism. I would like to bring to your notice a poorly written article on Hindu faith, Jai Shri Ram. I would request your intervention so as to prevent deliberate targeting. Shubhams123 (talk) 17:07, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

New administrator activity requirement
22:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed&#32;if you do not return to activity within the next month.

Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Thank you for your past contributions to the project. —&thinsp;JJMC89 bot 00:06, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Kalka (1983 film) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kalka (1983 film), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
