Help with British Raj article
Your participation in the current debate in removing bias from the current British Raj article is appreciated. A small group of people have overtaken this article to show British rule in India in a highly exaggerated positive light without any discussion of large scale atrocities, suppression of rights, racist policies, general looting of national wealth.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport
Please be careful. You accidently wiped out most of the article. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Mangalore International Airport
I added a bit to the infobox and included a reference. In the absence of being able to get the information from the Government of India site (the Airports Authority of India site is not working right now) the World Aero Data site is the next best thing. The information there is usually up to date and accurate. Do you have a picture to go with it? Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 04:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Hindustan International Airport (Bangalore
Indiandefender - you've updated the page to include Etihad (Abu Dhabi) as an international airline. I think that is incorrect, as Etihad does not operate to BLR and does not have permission to start services. Nimishgupta 00:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Bangalore International Airport Limited
Hi there! The name of this article should be "Bangalore International Airport" instead of the current "Bangalore International Airport Limited". Would you agree? - KNM Talk 20:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * "Bangalore International Airport Limited" is just the name of the company that is building a airport in Bangalore. That airport has not been named yet. Until it s named, it should be proper to refer it as just "Bangalore International Airport". Leotolstoy 21:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Greetings! While reviewing the assessment change log for WikiProject Airports, I noticed that you created the article Belgaum Airport. You contribution to improving Wikipedia's collection of airport articles is greatly appreciated. If at all interested, I'd like to extend an invitation to join the project.

User page
It is felt that the article you created at Indiandefender2 is not suitable for a Wikipedia article, which must have a notable subject and be verifiable. I have moved it to User:, which is where users are free to write about themselves. You are at liberty to move it back into the (Main) namespace but bear in mind that if you do so, it is likely to be nominated for deletion.

Note, however, that the purpose of a user page is to enable active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal homepage. Content unrelated to Wikipedia or its editing is likely to be removed.

Please see the user page guidelines, especially this section for more information. --NMChico24 04:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:City swap.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:City swap.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Schzmo 01:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Acton-Boxborough Ultimate
A tag has been placed on Acton-Boxborough Ultimate, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Philippe Beaudette 01:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Please stop removing the speedy delete tag from this page. If you wish to contest the deletion, the instructions are included within the tag on the page.  Authors should not delete these tags from pages they create.  Philippe Beaudette 01:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on SriLankan Cargo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Finngall  talk  19:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Poverty of India Image
There is a discussion going on regarding whether or not the following image should be a part of the Poverty in India page. Most Poverty in *Country* pages do not have any images, at most 1. User:Otolemur crassicaudatus has brought many images showing extreme poverty in India and has tried to mislead people into thinking this is the way a majority of poor Indians live. There is a vote in which your input would be appreciated. You can find this discussion here

I feel that the the Bodhgaya Beggar image does not represent poverty in India correctly because:
 * The beggar in Bodhgaya image does not accurately depict poor people in India because they do not look like this. This man is an exception. To say that this man represents all poor people in India is very wrong. A small minority of Indias poor are disabled. Most living under the poverty line work long hours fishing, farming or as construction workers. This picture shows a man whose legs have been broken. Unless a majority of India's or even a fraction of the poor have legs like this, the image is irrelevant and undue to the poverty in india page.
 * Poverty and Disability are not connected in any way. There are thousands of super rich people who are disabled.
 * There are 11 country articles on poverty
 * These have NO images: Poverty in Pakistan, Poverty in Africa, Poverty in China, Poverty in Australia, Poverty in Canada, Poverty in Malaysia, Poverty in Switzerland, Social issues in Brazil,
 * These have 1 image Poverty in the United States, Poverty in France
 * The Poverty in India page is the only one with more than 1 image. And the only reason for this is because User:Otolemur crassicaudatus has brought more and more images onto the page.


 * This user is being uncivil and unyielding.
 * This image is being used by User:Otolemur crassicaudatus to display his dislike of India and to mislead people into thinking that this is the plight of millions of poor Indians. This user has often added images showing extreme poverty to many India relating articles. Even though this user knows that poverty is present in every country and that extreme poverty is not a fair representation of the Indian economy, this user has previously tried to add an image of children washing their clothes in a mud puddle to the economy section of the India page. This user has added this image to the poverty section of the Economy of India page, when a graph showing poverty would make more sense.
 * WP:Undue says:
 * We should not attempt to represent a dispute as if a view held by a small minority deserved as much attention as a majority view. Views that are held by a tiny minority should not be represented except in articles devoted to those views. To give undue weight to a significant-minority view, or to include a tiny-minority view, might be misleading as to the shape of the dispute.

This can be applied to this because a very tiny fraction of poor people in India are disabled. Most work very hard trying to make a living for themselves. This image is misleading. Nikkul (talk) 02:53, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Karnataka Police Service
A tag has been placed on Karnataka Police Service requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Criteria for Statistics Column
Hi there, I am very confused with several things in statistics column. I couldn't find any specific criteria for this section. Let me clear one by one easing to answer

1. Month/Year of statistics
 * Which month the stats should start?? In metro airports like BLR, MAA, HYD and CCU, it is mentioned from April 2010 - March 2011. But in DEL and BOM, month is not mentioned.
 * When to update these stats?? Monthly or Yearly?? In above mentioned airports, it is still until March 2011. Lets say if it is monthly, how to do after one financial year?? In first month, April only and in next month, April - May??
 * May be this is silly question, but just to clarify. What phrase we should use for Month/Year. I found several methods. They are April 2011, Apr 2011, April '11, Apr ' 11. Which is better to maintain a standard format for all airports in India??--Amdmustafa (talk) 12:56, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
