Apology
I sincerely apologize. Impatience got the better of me. I know I might have sounded unstable, but I still do want to thank you about the great tips you've given me; it's made this article better and better, and I really mean that. Thank you very much.UberCryxic 21:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Nichalp. I suppose you are the oldest Indian Wikipedian here. I have recently joined, though I have never seen you on #Wikipedia. What's with that? -- Andy123  (talk) 17:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I found you have mentioned that irfca.org has granted permission to us to use the text on their site in Indian-Railways-talk.

Request,Nomination for removal Khalistan article
Hello Sir I'm nominating this page for deletion because it is written with a point of view, excessive use of unreliable sources.and the title "Khalistan" is wrong for the topic because "Khalistan" does not exist,lack of support from resident Punjabi's and Sikhs in India, but there was a "Movement for Khalistan" and that is the right title for the topic, and i think this whole article "a new name" should be rewritten with the help of people from sikh community "in" India and other Indians, because this topic is related to politics/people of India.We all should understand Khalistan is not a political entity and having a article is not justified, Microsoft Encarta and Britannic encyclopedia don't have an article known as "Khalistan" but they do have articles on the movement that took place decades back, and i think there are also copyright issues involved with this article because big parts of this article are written on other peoples research. Many reliable sources are used to show "one side" of their view on the topic, there are also indications that organisations banned by US and EU are involved in providing their research on the movement.I am a strong supporter to have a stub on this topic, but im afraid that such articles on wikipedia have become mouthpieces for organisation which are known for disrupting peace (assassination of one of india's prime minister, twin bomb blast in New Delhi on the eve of Diwali) in Indian sub continent. This article requires your attention, please help. Anmol.2k4 18:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

India Foreign Relations
Hi Nichalp, I've noticed that my recent edits to foreign relations on the India page were reverted because of understandable reasons. Here's the version of the page With my edits. It just happens that I've done a little bit of research on India's foreign relations recently so may be able to contribute to any section on foreign relations included in the India page. So it would be good if we were clear on what needs to be done so I can start editing. Thanks.  Noble eagle    (Talk)   08:19, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have added two paragraphs worth of information, because the Western Nations take up one paragraph themselves and the others take up one paragraph (approx.). I have not defined good foreign relations in the article, as I don't see where it will fit, but to have good foreign relations is basically the ability to have a political influence in the economy, military (very slightly most of the time) and politics (mostly foreign policy) of another nation. My source for all my info is the Indian Embassy website which has details on India's moves to increase relations with the Middle East.  Noble eagle    (Talk)   04:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

CSCWEM's RFA
Hi. Happened to come across your post on User talk:Tdxiang's talk page. CSCWEM's second nomination is here. - Aksi_gr e at 09:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. Yes, it seems that CSCWEM is waiting for the 1st of April to accept his nomination. I think he would have already made it to WP:100 by then. It is a really amazing situation. Has anything like this ever happened before at RfA? Can't you make an exception is his case? - Aksi_gr e at 09:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)


 * If that's the case, we'll have to nullify all the votes and restart the voting process. Voting only starts when the candidate accepts the nomination. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  10:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Bangla wikipedia
Hi, I'm initiating a campaign in Bangladesh (news media and otherwise) to attract more editors from there. I also am working on the Bangla wikipedia (http://bn.wikipedia.org ). Right now, there are very few editors there, and only 1 admin. I would like to get admin status there, because within a week, a lot of new editors are going to flock there (when the news articles and media discussions get underway next week). Where/who do I request to get admin status in Bangla wikipedia? Thanks. --Ragib 07:59, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Kolkata peer review
Thanks a lot for your subjective objective and extremely specific review of Kolkata. We shall try to mend the defects you have pointed out. However, I have 2 points to ask:

(1) Why do you always make it sure that "Tourism" is not included? (I have seen you reccomending this before). Is it a Wikipedia rule?

(2) I disagree with you that section "Culture" should not have subsections. There are so many city articles with subsections in "Culture".For example, Canberra ( which is an FA). You will perhaps cite the Indian city format. But in any case, that is not a hard and fast rule! PLease comment and help improve the article. Thanks a lot.
 * Please Nichalp, I am sorry if I have hurt you. Believe me, the comment was not sarcasm as it seemed to you. I revere you as one of the oldest and most experienced wikipedian. And sorry for another mistake I committed, it was a disgraceful typo: I typed "Subjective" in stead of intended "objective". LoL (some kind of thought block must have occured - it's really embarassing, I am extremely sorry) Please excuse me. And thanks a lot again for your extremely objective and careful review (I made it a point to write correctly this time).--Dwaipayanc 19:43, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Nichalp. I was really feeling guilty for the careless comments. Thank you. Bye! --Dwaipayanc 16:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi! "Tourism" and the subsections of Culture have been removed. Also have expanded on cuisine, clothing etc. in culture. However, I had to cross the limit of 5 paragraphs for culture. We shall have to condense the "culture". Need your help in a specific matter. Its difficult for me to re-write the "History", as I'm not well-conversed in this aspect of Kolkata. Can you name any user who can be of help? Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 18:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Some more questions. What do you think about the "Utility services"? Does it need to be merged with the civic administration? Civic administration would soon be built up in the lines of Mumbai. Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 18:40, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Indian Institutes of Technology
Hi Nichalp,

A request has been made for Indian Institutes of Technology to be peer-reviewed so that it can achieve a Featured Article status. I have been working on it for the last one week and feel that it is satisfactorily good to start the peer-review process. Please care to have a look at it and give your precious comments. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Nichalp, I have requested the article to be peer-reviewed as there are many flaws in it. But I don't know why it was rushed to FA review. I think the correct procedure is first a peer-review and then a FA review. In its present form, its certainly not a FA candidate. Can we close the FA review and concentrate on Peer-review first. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 04:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Change of username
Hi Nichalp,

On Changing username you wrote that changing my username is not possible. Please take a closer look: There is certainly no User:Voyager around here and no edit has ever been made with that account.

 * Implemented your new suggestions. You mentioned a line about language. I think it will be wrong to assume that Tamil would be the most spoken in all towns in Tamil Nadu. Census website does not provide this data. Your thoughts? - Ganeshk  ( talk ) 20:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Demographics help
Hi. Have you taken a look at Ahmedabad? Since your drastic (and necessary) step in removing the clutter, I have almost rewritten the entire article and am continuing my work there. But I am stuck with the demographics section as the census does not seem to provide city results. I cannot find details at the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation site or the Ahmedabad district collectors site or Gujarat government site. Could you suggest me some good and authentic source for the stats. If you are too busy with your 'crat work then I will ask someone else, but you must have encountered the same problem with the Mumbai page too. - Aksi_gr e at 18:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Kolkata peer review: plese see second time
Hi! We have tried to follow your recommendations of the first review. Everything you recommended was worked upon - except the lead, as I found it difficult to modify appropriately. The history has been somewhat improved, but not definitely upto the mark.

The civic administration looks better now. Culture has been improved. Other recommendations have been followed. Still, I feel major works have to be done, especially in "History" and "Culture". The size is 42 kb, which is large. I have plans to cut down "culture".

Also there are some repetition dispersed in the article, which can be removed on strict scrutiny. Could you please give it a second look and give some directions to work on? Thank you.--Dwaipayanc 20:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! Could you please tell me where can we find the vehicle codes of Kolkata? Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 20:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! I coud not find out the vehicles info in the net. Will try to find out from the local transport offices. BTW, some copy-edits have been done. The size is hovering around 40-41 Kb. Factual errors (those that I could find out) have been handled. "Culture" was cut down, but again regained some size due to the addition of comments on literature (that was not there previously). I think necessary referencing have been done. Demographics got some new info like the crime-stats, whereas "negative" aspects like strikes, poverty have been touched to some extent. Copy-edits are going on. Could you please point out some major/minor flaws in the article? Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 14:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Advance thanks for your copy-edits. Well, I am not sure whether WB 05 and WB06 are also included. I will try to check it out! Thanks a lot.--Dwaipayanc 16:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
