Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Sachin Tendulkar. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Commander (Ping Me) 17:24, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

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).

About TCS
You add whole list of countries that TCS operates thats completely bizarre, a MNC company usually operated in x number of locations but that does not mean that u have to mention every single location. I hope u understand my view. -- Kkm 010 * ۩ ۞ 14:21, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Like I said MNC have several branches across the world but that doesn't mean to mention every single branch. Take eg Siemens, it operated in 160 nations, so are u going to mention all 160 nations, obliviously no. Therefore no need to mention places and moreover at top global name and in infobox its mentioned.-- Kkm 010 * ۩ ۞ 18:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Speedy deletion nomination of Zephyr : Cultural Fest of Orissa Engineering College


A tag has been placed on Zephyr : Cultural Fest of Orissa Engineering College requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Travelbird (talk) 18:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Some users again trying to defame Sujit Meher article
Dear Mr Radhamadhab,

Glad to meet a wiki admin from Odisha, i need your help to protect a wiki profile. Some users keep trying to defame Sujit Meher article which is about a renowned fashion designer. Infect I have seen this article contains so many useful media sources also. And he has been placed in top 10 famous alumni top fashion institute of India as he belongs to. Please kindly go though the link, he has been listed among those top 10 alumni of NIFT, and even published in NIFT official website. So no need of any deletion request or debate on this particular article. Please i request you to kindly remove the deletion purpose tag from this article for a better wiki experience on such public figure profile and i request you kindly protect such article, where people keep trying to defame such public figure articles. Its a humble request to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Novelbuzz (talk • contribs) 07:15, 29 March 2016 (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. 00:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Abhijit Majumdar


The article Abhijit Majumdar 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. Cahk (talk) 12:07, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Abhijit Majumdar moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Abhijit Majumdar, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 00:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Prabhas's birth name
Hello, could you explain this edit? I reverted it, since the reference gives his second name as Satyanarayana, not Suryanarayana. It's not a particularly reliable-looking source, though, so if you've got a better one that says something else, I'd be happy to change it back. —Emufarmers(T/C) 01:52, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello,
 * Prabhas is an India film actor who recently appeared in the multilingual film Saaho (2019) after the multilingual blockbuster Bahubali (2015 and 2017). For the promotion of his latest release Saaho, he appeared on the 69th episode of season 2 (Overall 199th episode combining both seasons) of Indian Hindi stand-up comedy and talk show The Kapil Sharma Show on Sony TV on 25th August 2019. During a question and answer session with the audience (between 06m:48s to 09m:13s in the above episode link with English subtitles), he agreed with two of the audiences that his full name is Venkata Surya Narayana Prabhas Raju Uppalapati which can also be verified here (A Facebook post by a fan page) and here on IMDB. Additionally his father's name is Uppalapati Surya Narayana Raju. In Telugu Culture (and many Indian cultures) sons use their father's name in their full name. So I think we should change his name to Venkata Surya Narayana Prabhas Raju Uppalapati.
