Why is there no FACTS-Subpage on every article?

 * where every known, used fact is listed, referenced and discussed
 * where everyone can add facts, that others might eventually use, to change, expand an article,

This as I see it is one of the big conceptual weaknesses of wikipedia,

if there will ever be a successful competitor of Wikipedia, it will be a facts first, text later INCARNATION ... Quessler (talk) 17:42, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Border town, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bordertown. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

For your edits to Estoril Open article pages. WP:CFD reads "Unless a change to a category is non-controversial – e.g. prompted by vandalism or duplication – please do not amend or remove the category from pages before a decision has been made."...William 14:19, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Tagging query
Hi Ninney, I see you inserting "field=government" tag in your article tagging. Is that valid? Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 13:38, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * @, Refer WikiProject India/Navigation >> Workgroups >> Government >> Politics. All article should be categorised in one of the workgroup. Also, their are few workgroups not mentioned in the list such as, Architecture, Sports.
 * For Field parameter ---> |field=Government |field-importance=Low
 * For Wikiproject specific parameters ---> |politics=yes |politics-importance=Low (if the article is supported by Politics of India)
 * Do let me know, if its a concern, so that I may not use the particular Government workgroup. Thanks! - Ninney (talk) 14:07, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The second option you mention politics=yes is what we are supposed to use. I don't know of a "field" paramater. Pinging for clarification. Kautilya3 (talk) 15:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If I understood correctly on what's going on, there isn't any "|field=" parameter in the Project template. There are only individual workgroups; all can be viewed at Template:WPINDIA. How it's categorised at /Navigation (WikiProject India/Workgroups) seems to be arbitrary, and only the existing workgroups are linked there. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The Template Template:WikiProject India clearly mentions of a parameter called as Field parameter. Described as: field(...field1, field2, field3) - allows for setting up statistics for subject areas even if a taskforce for the subject does not exist. The articles can be moved to the taskforce once it has been setup. For projects using the field parameter, see Category:India articles using field parameter.Lets further take the discussion on the template talk page itself.Thanks! - Ninney (talk) 08:39, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Changing the name of the Notes and references section
You may not be aware of Manual of Style/Layout which says: Title: Editors may use any section title that they choose. One reason this guide does not standardize section headings for citations and explanatory notes is that Wikipedia draws editors from many disciplines (history, English, science, etc.), each with its own note and reference section naming convention (or conventions). For more, see Perennial proposals, Perennial proposals and Template:Cnote2/example. --Bejnar (talk) 04:26, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Why deleting Vada Pav info?

The info I had added was very basic and useful. Wondering why it was deleted. Because Vada Pav has much more description than this.

Created another village
Hi, I have created another village article Ashti, Jalna. Kindly review it. There are many towns and villages named Ashti. For example Ashti, Beed, Ashti, Wardha, Ashti, Khed, Ashti (Vidhan Sabha constituency) etc. Can you create disambiguation page for these articles. I have little idea about creating disambiguation page. Thank you. -- Human 3015  talk • 11:56, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Indian filmmakers
Hello! Just FYI, WikiProject Film does not cover biography articles such as actors and filmmakers, those articles are covered by adding yes to WikiProject Biography instead. This applies to all of the film task forces as well, which means that the Indian cinema task force does not include articles about Indian actors, directors and filmmakers, and consequently should not have the yes parameter on the WikiProject India banner. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 15:40, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Welcome back
Hi Ninney, nice to see you back. I know you were largely inactive since June. When you left for Wikibreak at that time I was relatively new user and you used to patrol my new village articles, but now I have autopatrolled right. You helped me lot in those days, thanks for your help. Many times I came to your page to see you are active or not. It is nice that you came back. Hope you will stay.

Ninny
For welcoming a user whose only edits so far are vandalism,. Even though he self-reverted, that still doesn't make it "good faith". (A kid can claim he was only "testing the spray can", but if he left paint on the building, it's still vandalism.) JustinTime55 (talk) 19:59, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , I knew he has vandalised the article & I, myself, had reverted 4 of his edits. I just welcomed him so that he may think twice before vandalising again.
 * Also, their is a provision of welcoming a user who has vandalized a page & I had used the same template:{{subst:Welcome-unconstructive}}

 * I Removed that WP:UNDUE reference from Blue Water Navy, and the additional image. All of the other navies were represented by a single image.  It is definitely an agenda, my suspicion is state sponsored contributions to the 'pedia - and I know which state (HINT: It ain't Ohio)  Scr ★ pIron IV 19:03, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ANd now similar behavior on Nuclear triad. This editor appears to have a bad case of WP:IDHT  Scr ★ pIron IV 19:04, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

______________________________________________________________

I did plenty of research on each page and then edit them. Please see the sources I added, none of them are Chinese, they are all English source including NPI.

As for the blue water navy part, I already removed the other image, because aircraft carriers are better representation of a blue water navy. I also added material to the Indian blue water section because this guy Standardengineer was spreading Indian propaganda on the INS Vishal page. He removed sources not in favor of India and then added new source in favor in favor of India. When I caught the source and added the important part of it (the reason why India wants a better carrier). He keep removing them !

--162.74.52.147 (talk) 19:07, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation. But why are you so reluctant so as to not listen to three other editors. Writing Stuff like -
 * The Indian fleet is grossly inadequate to match China...


 * India is technologically inferior and incapable to design and develop its own systems which are crucial for aircraft carriers ...
 * Your behavior is disruptive to Wikipedia. - Ninney (talk) 19:14, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

_______________________________

Hello Ninney. I did not even make that up ! The Indian fleet is grossly inadequate to match China... This is the 100% origional quote from the source which Standardengineer added. Here: http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/navy-s-wish-list-6-nuke-subs-n-powered-carrier/77422.html

Please go read that source. It is exactly what it wrote. Also, Standardengineer added another source regarding India getting help from 4 different countries. He added this source: "http://news.usni.org/2015/07/21/india-asks-international-defense-firms-for-help-with-new-aircraft-carrier-design" Again, the point of this source is that India needed help which points out India's inability to do it on its own. Standardengineer keeps spreading his propaganda and he even removed sources. Please go take a look.

I then added these materials on the blue water page to state the reason why India wants a better navy with more SSN and a better carrier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.74.52.147 (talk) 19:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Wide-issue
I see you tagged my new article. I don't disagree with the tags, but thought you might want to know why I made such a stubbish article. I encountered the term in Very long instruction word and didn't know what it meant. Having googled it, I decided that the next reader of Very long instruction word might also not know, so I added a short explanation and links in the articles that use the term. Not being an expert in this particular field, I'd love it if someone more knowledgeable were to flesh it out.--Wcoole (talk) 00:11, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

Your contributed article, List of state leaders in 2016


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of state leaders in 2016. 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 – List of state leaders in 2015. 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 List of state leaders in 2015 – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 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.     23:49, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of state leaders in 2016


The article List of state leaders in 2016 has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This list is half-accurate and half not. It is not yet the year 2016 in all of Oceania yet. If the Governor of American Samoa were to resign or die in the next few hours, this list would be factually incorrect and therefore misleading. I propose we delete this article until all of the state leaders have reached to see in the New Year. Also: the United States has not seen 2016 yet; this page would seem very odd to most American users, of which are the majority of editors on this site.

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.     00:30, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of List of state leaders in 2016 for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of state leaders in 2016 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 state leaders in 2016 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 high-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 notice from the top of the article.     01:04, 1 January 2016 (UTC) Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give List of state leaders in 2016 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.     03:11, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Creation of this article
If there is any such thing as an understatement, here it is. You created this article shortly after midnight on New Years' Eve. Why, exactly? Since when has 31 December ever been 1 January of a year? Did you honestly believe it was in-fact January 0, 2016? This is absolutely ludicrous, not to mention shocking and indiscriminate. I have been deeply hurt and affected by what you had done. I had no idea at all that you created the article until a mere few minutes before Midnight UTC. There, rushing against time, I tried to get the article speedily deleted; January 0 is not an official date. I had asked an admin to delete it quickly before the clock struck twelve, but this did not happen. As the admin immediately reverted my request for deletion at precisely 12:00 sharp. I am extremely angry, agitated, irate and furious at this situation. The article should only have been created at Midnight UTC at the earliest. I had it all planned. Unlike what you had done, simply removing any mentions of, I had carefully proofread the article; e.g. the distinction between the designations of   and   and the succession of the Swiss presidency, et al. It is not yet 2016 in all of the world until 12 PM (UTC), and I have been desperately trying to delete the article before this time, although it seems likely that I will tragically fail. This had meant a lot for me, you have no idea at all. I was looking forward to creating that article. Now, it seems, I would have to wait until 2017 comes and attempt this again. I am extremely upset at this, and I am looking to file a complaint against your prior actions (and perhaps an investigation at WP:DRN) to find out why exactly this had to happen and how to prevent it in future. If you would like to apologise on behalf of yourself, that should be welcome. Although I must say, this is not a Happy New Year—in any way, shape, or form—for me. If I am driven out of despair from Wikipedia for a year because of this, then so be it.     09:14, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Drop the stick now, Neve-selbert. It's you who has the problem if you're so upset by someone creating an article; Wikipedia isn't a fight to see who can create as many year articles as possible. It's a wiki, that's how it happens, go edit the article if you see mistakes in it. BethNaught (talk) 09:24, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * @ First of all, I had created this article only keeping good faith & was unaware of some ones ambitious eager intentions of creating this article at first place. Honestly, If I knew I would have never thought of creating the article myself. It would have been so easy If their was a draft version already created. Wikipedia needs editors like you, my humble request, please dont be driven for a year. Hoping that you will have the generosity to accept my sincere apologies. Also, Thank You @.
 * What is done is done—I overreacted. We all make mistakes, and I hold no grudges. Thanks for the barnstar.  <span style="background-color:; color:;"> <span style="background-color:; color:;">  05:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:List of state leaders in 2016#RfC: Inclusion of Palestine as a sub state of Israel
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:List of state leaders in 2016. &#x0020;Could you please give your opinion on whether or not Palestine should be considered a separate sovereign entity from Israel? Many thanks Spirit Ethanol (talk) 15:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I had left my comments on the article's talk page -
 * Palestine should always be a stand alone state. It has a President, Prime Minister, Flag, Coat of Arms, Anthem of its own. Almost, every other nation has some form of Territorial dispute and hence should not be considered while discussing the identity of a state. Let it be the headache of the two region & not the world problem. Let the dispute be solved sooner in peace. PALESTINE - A Stand Alone State & not sub state of ISRAEL. - Ninney (talk) 17:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Ground segment
Could you take another look at Ground segment? Both the quality and importance evaluations seem too low. In what areas is the article "weak", "lacking key elements", or "in need of serious cleanup"? I would also suggest that ground segments are an important topic in both WikiProjects' purviews. — swpb T 21:22, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * @: First of all, very thanks for such a good article. I do not understand how such an important topic had no article in Wikipedia before 2015. The reason of giving basic assessment was the article is not covering the entire topic, only Elements & Costs are discussed.


 * The 'Lead' section is too small, just a one liner. It is not actually cultivating the reader's interest in reading more of the article. You may write about GS provides applications & services to different kind of users having individually separate and distinct needs & many different Networks. GS is a central point of Mgmt & Control & also a means to connect distant users. Each network within the ground segment serves a particular group of users (say Government, Corporate etc) or type of application (say Telephone, Data Communication).
 * There are six primary 'Elements' listed but only three had been covered as sub section.
 * The 'Cost' section is not a topic to be discussed in GS since it wont at a given time be shown as a range of amount & no reader would be interested in knowing the cost of establishment & operation. The cost of a GS setup is highly unpredictable & the section itself is not a usable content for reading in point of Readers interest.
 * The 'Image gallery', 'See Also' & 'References' are perfectly done.
 * In the end, You may change the assessment at any given time even though you are the creator of the article & you may always " Requests for Assessment ".
 * Do keep writing such good articles. Thank you! - Ninney (talk) 18:31, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * You yourself told me I could change the assessment myself; well, that seemed like a COI, but at the same time, I disagree with your assessment on both counts. I believe your interpretation of the assessment criteria and the article content is flawed (particularly with regard to the "Costs" section), and I would like someone else to assess the article; I saw no better way to get to that than by removing your assessment, and I can find no rule or guideline suggesting that is improper. — swpb T 17:03, 23 February 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. 11:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland 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 Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia 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. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Backlog
The NPP backlog now stands at 13,158 total unreviewed pages.

Just to recap: You naturally  don't  have to feel obliged, but if there's anything you can do it would be most appreciated. I've spent 40 hours on it this week but it's only a drop in the ocean.--Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:41, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

 * If you have been accorded the New Page Reviewer right, please do help out as much as you can, and by using the Page Curation system. We only have 90 days to get the backlog down to an acceptable level, which is perhaps three or four days of new traffic. If you have any questions, the place to go now is here. Happy editing!

Hello Ninney.

The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk. The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:08, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

Hi. Thanks for reviewing Andy Dulin. Once North Carolina House of Representatives is updated to reflect this week's election, the article will be not so much an orphan any longer. Eric Cable ! Talk 15:29, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Rock My Religion rewrite
To avoid speedy deletion of Rock My Religion I rewrote it. Sorry - I just saw your request not to remove the speedy deletion tag from the top, but I already did. I beg your pardon. --Valueyou (talk) 09:48, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Leader-1 patrol
Hi there, I saw that you patrolled Leader-1 after I added some tags to it. Any advice on what more I could do to help uphold standards with respect to WP:NPP. Getting back into the habit of reviewing new creations prior to putting in a bid for the user permission. Hasteur (talk) 17:06, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * @: The NPP backlog continues to grow on daily basis & you can help by getting the backlog down. Use the Curation Toolbar to quickly review the article & adding tags for maintenance.
 * Check if the Article title is as per Wikipedia Stds.
 * If you do not believe the subject is notable based on having looked outside the article for the existence of sources, then prodding the article, or taking it to AfD may be warranted.
 * Add tags, If -
 * Lead is not written properly, or too short or too long.
 * Article requires sections.
 * Article requires updation.
 * Add tags, If the article is without source unreferenced or if insufficient refimprove (for articles on living person, BLP unsourced and BLP sources). Other common tags include no footnotes, more footnotes, primary sources, (BLP primary sources), one source, self-published, citation style, cleanup-bare URLs and others.
 * Stub tagging
 * Check that the article has been assigned to one or more useful categories, and if not, either tag it with uncat or try to find a category for it.
 * Orphaned articles or Dead End articles.
 * Lastly, if the article is marked with 'The New unreviewed article' banner then it must be manually removed when finished.
 * Thank You - Ninney (talk) 19:03, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think you understand. I previously was a very strong currator of AFC, so I know all those aspects. Hasteur (talk) 20:06, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * @: Sorry about that, but then what advice do you need? - Ninney (talk) 20:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

How the hell did that suffer from "linkrot" exactly? ST1849 (talk) 02:02, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

 * I did had you bothered look. That guy made some dumb typos so I fixed them. Is that English you just typed? How is it "linkrot" if neither of the refs link to anything? And don't send me some stupid wikilove trash. Answer my question yourself (in plain English). ST1849 (talk) 20:35, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter
Hello ,


 * Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action. If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
 * Second set of eyes

With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.
