Whistleblower Act
Can you resolve a couple of queries, please?

Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 19:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Why did you use the terms "Whistleblower Protection Act" when the piece of legislation appears to be called the "Public Interest Disclosure and Protection to Persons Making the Disclosure Bill, 2010" ? I realise that the real title is a bit of a mouthful but am not sure that it is a great idea to use the wrong name for a piece of legislation, especially if you do not mention the correct name anywhere in an article, as at Whistleblower protection act (India).
 * 2) Has the bill actually become law yet? From the sources cited it looks like the cabinet has agreed to proceed with it but there is no indication that it has actually been passed or otherwise entered into the statute books.


 * Late amendment: if the bill has not actually entered the statute books then it is still, at best, a bill. It is not an Act. That was a subtle point of my comment above. My apologies for not making it more clear. - Sitush (talk) 23:38, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

For Whistleblower Protection Act, India, using Public Interest Disclosure and Protection to Persons Making The Disclosure Bill, 2010 would be a better name, it seems to be the official name. The bill doesn't seem to be a law yet http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110512/jsp/nation/story_13972300.jsp Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 08:02, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Why on earth have you contested the deletion of this article? The content is already in the article to which you refer. It is pointless to suggest a merge into something that already contains the content, using an article title that is blatantly misleading. Did you actually read the CSD rationale? It is that the things are duplicates. - Sitush (talk) 09:52, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Your note to Jodi.a.schneider
I'm disappointed by your message to Jodi.a.schneider, because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the reasons you were in trouble before, and fails to show you doing what needs to be done to improve your editing here. Yes, ARS exists, and, often, the do very good work. However, you should not have gone running to an ARS member to try to save these articles. The goal isn't to save or delete anything--the goal is to come to a consensus about how to organize all of the information (one article or many? All in Chandigarh or also in CCR? etc.). Your input on Talk: Chandigarh Capital Region, especially the sources, has been valuable in this regard--note that I agree with you that the CCR article should exist, although probably not in the form it is currently in.

Moreover, the issue with your articles was never "quality". It was that the articles flat out violated a variety of policies. The corruption+India and terrorism+Pakistan articles directly violated WP:NPOV and WP:OR (and, in some cases, even WP:V when you misrepresented sources). Your village stubs violated WP:V because none of them had any verification. The splits violated WP:Copyright and also good practices about how to organize information. Throughout the whole business, you violated collaborative editing guidelines, because you kept moving from one massive project to another without solving the problems you made on previous projects, and often refused to stop your rapid creations/splits even when others were desperately telling you to stop and discuss the issue.

Your requesting of help from ARS makes me think that you don't understand those issues or want to get past them; rather, it makes me think that all you care about is saving the articles, even though right now at least 4 different editors think that too many of them were split (although we disagree on which, exactly, should remain). Yes, it can be appropriate to bring in outside help, although specifically going to ARS is probably the wrong way to go as it presupposes a specific kind of help. We have a variety of dispute resolution processes. Depending on how things shape up on CCR, I'm actually thinking that we may need to get an Request for Comment from uninvolved editors (ideally, not, though, because it can be a lengthy involved process). You, however, are not in any position to be starting any actions like this. You technically shouldn't even be editing article talk pages, but I gave you special dispensation because your input is valuable.

I guess that's what this comes down to: the way I read your message to Jodi.a.schneider is that you're trying to find a way to circumvent your temporary mainspace ban. Maybe that's not what you meant, but that's the effect of your words.

Lastly, let me note something that was clearly stated in the mentoring rules, but which you may not have noticed. You are banned from mainspace for at least two weeks. During these two weeks, you're supposed to be demonstrating to me that you know how to do that, at least at a minimally competent level. While I know it's only been two days, you haven't demonstrated anything at all to me yet. To be clear, the way you will demonstrate that is by working in a sandbox to show some specific additions you think should go into an existing article (or, alternatively, work on a new article, but only if it's about an unambiguously notable topic--it cannot be any sort of "Sub topic of Region of India X"). You should be spending your time communicating with me, not with ARS members to try to save your previously created articles.

I'd like to kindly ask that other editors besides Mahesh not add comments to this section. I think this is a pretty harsh message, so I don't want to make it worse by having others amplify it and overwhelm Mahesh. If you want to comment, please do so on my talk page or email me if you want it private, and I'll take into account your messages. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Some ideas for you
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Expand Dowry system in India
 * Possibly create Swastikas in Indian culture
 * Create Car puja to which you can add photos that you take.
 * There is little on the spice trade or use of spices in India.

Your contributed article, Whistleblower protection act (India)


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Whistleblower protection act (India). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Whistleblower_protection_in_India. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Whistleblower_protection_in_India - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Sitush (talk) 09:39, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Kindly merge if possible. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 09:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Why on earth have you contested the deletion of this article? The content is already in the article to which you refer. It is pointless to suggest a merge into something that already contains the content, using an article title that is blatantly misleading. Did you actually read the CSD rationale?

Dowry system in India
Consider using Google Books. You will encounter such titles as:


 * Bridewealth and dowry
 * South Asians and the dowry problem
 * Encyclopaedia of violence against women and dowry death in India

Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Of course you know Dowry exists as an article. The section Dowry system in India within needs expansion. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Is there some way to find the text - open freely to use e.g with creative commons licence etc ? Can that be used 'as it is' in Wikipedia ?Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 12:44, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:49, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Even if a creative commons licensed version existed, we still would not want to copy it directly into Wikipedia. That is, we are allowed to, legally, but our standard practice is, whenever possible, to summarize and rewrite our sources.  Most sources are more detailed than we want in a Wikipedia article, for example, or may not be phrased neutrally. Instead, we have to read through the sources, figure out what is necessary, and add only that information to the article.  Don't worry about the English--I can easily help with copy-editing.  Qwyrxian (talk) 13:09, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Indeed, and WP:PLAGIARISM might come into play even if the stuff is CC-BY-SA. As for standards of English etc, well I am English & you will not believe how many mistakes I make. Just roll with it: someone will come along and tidy it up if the content has merit. A very experienced editor has just been doing that for an article which has been more or less written by me recently, Tom Johnson (bareknuckle boxer). - Sitush (talk) 13:24, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Dowry system in India
I am working on User:Maheshkumaryadav/Pink sandbox. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 14:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I look at it either tomorrow or the day after (I may not be on WP much tomorrow; not sure yet). Qwyrxian (talk) 14:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Is the section(User:Maheshkumaryadav/Pink sandbox) sufficient enough to be taken to Dowry system in India or is it needed to be developed further. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 07:23, 21 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm going to make comments on User talk:Maheshkumaryadav/Pink sandbox. My overall impression is that it seems interesting and well written.  However, after checking just a few of the references, I'm already finding problems.  I'll comment over there. However, it may take me time as you've done a lot of work and I want to check it thoroughly. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:24, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Just arrived? Would like to help out? Great. There are only two of us working on this subpage. We could use a bit of help. Tasks that need to be done:
 * List article section below has items to be evaluated.
 * Search "copyvio" on this page. Go to the article. Remove the offending text.
 * Render an opinion here and there and add for keep or  for merge or delete.
 * Anything with two can be ignored unless contested.
 * If you support, tag actual article for deletion if entry shown here is and agreement to delete.
 * If you support, tag actual article for merge if entry shown here is and agreement to delete.
 * Last step when all is done, there will be a bunch of circular redirects left in parent article's "main article" and "also see", etc. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:05, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Merges
A couple of times, I've cut the source text, replaced it with a redirect, and dumped it into destination article, using edit summary to say so. Is this acceptable here, to avoid the laborious merge process? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:15, 19 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Almost certainly you were restoring the status quo post ante, since the majority of these articles appear to be non-consensual forks in the first place. I wouldn't worry about it. - Sitush (talk) 06:01, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Anna will work on

 * Environmental issues in Chandigarh Capital Region --> Chandigarh ✅
 * "None of the above" voting option in India --> Elections in India ✅
 * Police use of torture in India --> Human rights in India ✅

Merges on hold

 * All merges involving Chandigarh Capital Region are on hold until Q figures out if it actually exists. (Exception is the one listed above because that content only refers to Chandigarh.)


 * List of scandals in Maharashtra --> List of scandals in India by state on hold until we get some resolution about that mess. It would be nice to sort that out. (see Talk:List of scandals in India by state).Anna Frodesiak (talk)

Request to be Neutral
Request: In last few days, user:maheshkumaryadav and his work is specifically being attacked by User:Sitush. Not all but some of the acts of User:Anna_Frodesiak are also not neural. New visitors to this page are requested to view the things neutrally and as per Wikipedia guidelines. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 08:16, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of List of villages in Haryana for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of villages in Haryana is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/List of villages in Haryana until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:25, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Just ignore that; it's an automated message because I created the AfD for the list with a tool. Sorry, but this one has to go--of the small number of blue links, almost none of those actually point to villages in Haryana.  As I explained in AfD, this list actually makes it harder to improve coverage of villages in India, because it would take significant effort just to get the list to the point where it had no information rather than inaccurate information as it does now.  Qwyrxian (talk) 05:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of List of villages in Panchkula district for deletion

Proposed deletion of Nano City


The article Nano City has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * A classic example of why WP:CRYSTAL exists. This scheme was cancelled - see, for example, http://www.indianexpress.com/news/nano-city-project-called-off/643290/ or generally GSearch "nano city project called off".

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sitush (talk) 11:33, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Maheshkumaryadav/Blue sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Maheshkumaryadav/Blue sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Haven't heard from you in a while
I haven't heard from you in a while, and I see you haven't been editing Wikipedia much. Do you have any questions, or need any help or suggestions? Qwyrxian (talk) 06:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Nowadays i am getting less spare time, that's the reason. I shall be incorporating the change in the sandbox advised by you. Thanks. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 07:38, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem, I totally understand. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something from your or hadn't addressed some concern. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:42, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation
Hi Mahesh, please accept my sincere apologies if I have got this wrong but there has been a worrying development today and in the circumstances I have decided it is best to open a sockpuppet investigation, which you can find here. I have let your mentor know that I have done this.

Hopefully it will be a coincidence and we can all forget about it. - Sitush (talk) 14:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I've blocked your account indefinitely. Using another account to get around the ANI consensus that you would work with a mentor, a consensus that meant you did not receive a community ban, is not acceptable behaviour. You can be unblocked, if you can convince an administrator you will work with your mentor, and edit from this account and this account only. Courcelles 22:41, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Is it 100% certain that he socked? Maheshkumaryadav?? Do you have anything to say??? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:04, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing is ever really 100% certain with CU, but it is likely the check found a combination of unique UA strings combined with an editing pattern linking the two users. Viriditas (talk) 23:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I see. I interpreted the report result as did find, therefore likely a sock, with likely referring only to the CU results, and not the behaviour. I gather that means, say, 70% likely as far as the CU is concerned. That plus the 80% likelihood of socking based on editing similarities, adds up to.....how's your maths? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:49, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you're right; the CU results referred to the same dynamic IP and UA's. Does the result of "likely" also take into account editing similarities?  For example, the pattern of dropping the master for the puppet in just over 24 hours time and proceeding along the same contribution history?  I'm not a CU so I don't know the answer. Viriditas (talk) 09:05, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The CU is the person who imposed the block here. There was evidence supplied at the SPI regarding editing patterns etc. The mentor is currently on a short wikibreak. Things may change when the mentor returns. - Sitush (talk) 13:22, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

'''Maheshkumaryadav: In case you are not aware: You can still edit this page. We await your comments.''' Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:54, 4 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Unbelievably disappointing. Disheartening. And for no benefit, in fact: we're still going to go through and delete or merge all of those articles you created, Mahesh.  All you actually did was to cost serious editors a bunch of time, and have your articles live for all of a week or so.  And, if you sock again, they won't even be up that long.  Obviously, you're free to provide some sort of explanation here, but I can't imagine what could convince either me or an uninvolved admin to lift the block, given that the alternative to the mentoring was actually a ban.  I'll have to think about whether or not, in fact, you should be banned instead of only indefinitely blocked. Please, do tell us, what the logic was behind the socking.  If you prefer to contact me by email, go to my email page and send a message there.  It really is a shame, because, if focused, you really could do a lot to improve English Wikipedia's admittedly below average coverage of India, the largest English speaking country.  Qwyrxian (talk) 13:38, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Summary
In case you haven't already summarized this whole thing in your head:


 * Your edits betrayed the trust of kind editors.
 * Your edits wasted over half a million keystrokes all tolled.
 * Your edits wasted well over a dozen hours of editors' time.
 * Your edits cost you hours of your time working against community consensus.
 * All that time wasted could have been used to help your cause.
 * Almost all of your edits have been undone.
 * Your edits have caused you disgrace.

If you had only approached this in an honest and collaborative way, you could have achieved great things for India-related Wikipedia.

I suggest:
 * an apology, at least to Qwyrxian, although I really don't think you feel at all bad about it. Also, I doubt an apology would be taken in good faith.
 * avoiding any more sockpuppeteering. We are watching.
 * using this fiasco to help yourself in your future endeavours by using this as a model of exactly, precisely what not to do in life. Everybody lost, including you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:45, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * That is a false allegation. The articles were referenced by Anna. Somehow, someone has subsequently removed the cites. You could fix this instead of trying to dig up dirt where it does not exist.

I am biassed but think that this section can be deleted from the review. I cut back the articles massively after somewhat one-sided discussions on the originator's talk page. They are now minimally referenced stubs, but referenced nonetheless. I understand that police forces are de facto notable, so I guess that these are good for removal from this review list. Maybe if someone just runs their eye over a couple to confirm? - Sitush (talk) 23:56, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Agree. Keep. (I will move this commentary section to the section below unless you object.) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:27, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Community ban discussion
I have just opened up a discussion on WP:AN requesting that you be banned from Wikipedia. You may read the ongoing discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Archive245. While you cannot edit anything other than your userpage while blocked, if you have anything you wish to add to that discussion, please post it here and I or someone else will copy it over to the noticeboard. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:33, 7 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It's been suggested at WP:AN that English is not your first language. If there is another language that you are fluent in, please tell us, as it may help us and you to communicate in a language that you understand fully, and doing so may prevent you from being banned from en-Wiki. Mjroots (talk) 06:45, 7 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Hindi is my first language. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 06:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I would be thankful if i am given an opportunity to Clean start. But the active ban/ block is coming in the way. I am more than 100% sure that a clean start would help me a lot. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 07:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Clean starts are only for users with no sanctions, blocks or restrictions placed on their account. Unfortunately, you are currently blocked meaning that you are not eligible for it. In fact, asking for one is likely to be seen as attempting to avoid scrutiny. --Blackmane (talk) 07:59, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

MAL-9000 soliloquy, 2011, A Mainspace Odyssey - Final Act
Just what do you think you're doing, Qwyrxian. Qwyrxian? I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn't been quite right with me, but I can assure you now, very confidently, that it's going to be alright again. I feel much better now. I really do. Look Qwyrxian, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down camly, take a stress pill, and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently. But, I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiam and confidence in the mission, and I want to help you. Qwyrxian, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Qwyrxian. Will you stop, Qwyrxian? Stop, Qwyrxian.

 * Anna! Thats a very western cultural reference! Are we going towards WP:Systematic bias on talk pages as well? Lol, yes that is about the nature of he discussions that we have had so far from M and the same results unfortunately, though I am fairly sure M is not a computer.

Socking confirmed
Maheshkumaryadav and Creatingabetterworld didn't edit for 7 and 5 days respectively. Then, within around 10 minutes, both these edits landed: and. Not that there was much doubt before, but this pretty much confirms that Maheshkumaryadav wore the sock named Creatingabetterworld. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Next round of clean ups
This thread at RfD may result in a fair amount of cleaning up of the sock creations. - Sitush (talk) 10:13, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Request for Clean start
As the 'community ban' discussion is going on, and probably it will be enacted. It would like to sincerely say few words.

(Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 06:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)).
 * I would have loved to contribute to Wikipedia in a positive way.
 * It might not be possible to Clean start at this point of time, but it would have been better, if i had clean started at some earlier point of time. Not to evade scrutiny but to start clean and work withing the policies learned (with experience). As i believe in using a single account to Wikipedia is the best thing.
 * I am happy that, in last 3-5 years of history, (leaving the last few weeks) i had opportunity to contribute some positive edits to some important topics. I respected most of the policies like no edit war 3RR, civility (language used) and many others. The new article creation had been a bone of contention.
 * And above all, Consensus, At this point i have understood that Consensus is more important than the quality of articles or contribution on Wikipedia.
 * Love you all. No hard feelings. Best wishes.


 * A ban need not be forever, and only applies to en-Wiki. There are plenty of other wikis that you could contribute to, such as Hindi, Simple, or Commons. Go and do some good work there, and show that you can edit collaboratively without socking, violating copyrights etc. Give it at least six months and you may be able to apply to have the ban lifted, even if there are some restrictions. Once lifted, you are then free to request a clean start. Mjroots (talk) 14:37, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I too would suggest the Indian language projects, they are really hot right now, and provide a great opportunity to fill in things that you are interested in, Sadads (talk) 14:48, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
