Speedy deletion nomination of Radha Balakrishnan
Hello ParulThakur,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Radha Balakrishnan for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Cindydrew (talk) 16:04, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Radha Balakrishnan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IMSc (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Thanks User:DPL bot. I have made the necessary corrections.

Replaceable fair use File:Bindu Bambah.png
Thanks for uploading File:Bindu Bambah.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:55, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!
Thank you Netha! You are the best! Wikiloves!!!

Sandhya Bauri
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Sandhya Bauri, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Sandhva Bauri. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. 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.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 11:48, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Duplicate articles
The articles on some of the politicians created by you already exist. Please consider to improve/enhance existing articles rather than creating the duplicate ones. Example : Divya SinghThanks Shyamsunder (talk) 23:05, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Shyamsunder - I understand your concern. Maharani Divya Singh and Divya Singh are two different individuals. Former is a politician born in 1963 whereas latter is a sportswoman born in 1982. Hope that clarifies! Thanks! Parul Thakur (talk) 03:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Parul Thakur

Wikilinking
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed you worked on this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Geeta_Mukherjee&diff=599697217&oldid=599447587

Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
 * dates
 * years
 * commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
 * common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies for infoboxes.)

Thanks and my best wishes.

Tony  (talk)  09:03, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Tony!! Will keep your suggestions in mind!

Ideas and opinions
Namaste I have seen you have made some excellent contribution. Thanks for your contribution to Wikipedia. I have some ideas and opinions. I have made changes in few articles. I have done assessment and persondata+defaultsort etc boring works too. If you have any question or comment you may reply here or contact me here Regards. Tito ☸ Dutta 22:26, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Please do not use unless there are too many references (specially if there is one reference, it'll break the ref).
 * Section header cap, use general sentence case like "Education and career" and not "Education nd Career.
 * In the infobox if you use df=y for dates, it'll become DMY format. Please use either MDY or DMY.

Thank you Tito ☸ Dutta ! Will keep your suggestions in mind :) Parul Thakur (talk) 04:21, 16 March 2014 (UTC)Parul Thakur

Proposed deletion of Supurna Sinha


The article Supurna Sinha has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No indication of notability, tagged for months without improvement. Nothing beyond passing mentions found via Google.

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.

Test Kaffeeklatsch area for women-only

If interested, your participation would be most welcome. Lightbreather (talk) 19:32, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Cut-and-paste move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Anubha Bhosle a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Anubha Bhonsle. 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 Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

7 more days to create or expand articles
Hello, thanks a lot for participating in Geographical Indications in India Edit-a-thon. We understand that perhaps 7 days (i.e. 25 January to 31 January) were not sufficient to write on a topic like this, and/or you may need some more time to create/improve articles, so let's extend this event for a few more days. The edit-a-thon will continue till 10 February 2016 and that means you have got 7 more days to create or expand articles (or imprpove the articles you have already created or expanded).

 * Rules

Editors, who have not joined this edit-a-thon, may also join now. Reviewing of all articles should be done before the end of this month (i.e. February 2016). We'll keep you informed. You may also check the event page for more details.

Deletion discussion about Kashmira Kakati
Hello, ParulThakur,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Kashmira Kakati should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Kashmira Kakati.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

 * Hi, sorry about that. I'm not a big fan of our current notability guidelines for scientists either (whereas one could make the observation that we feature every football player who ever entered a stadium...) - but I fear Kashmira Kakati does not clear that threshold yet. Or so I think; please do comment at the deletion discussion page. You might consider adding the results of her work to other topically relevant pages instead, e.g. at Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 18:36, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Radhika Gupta
Hello ParulThakur,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Radhika Gupta for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello, and thank you for contributing this article to WAM. Unfortunately, the article had to be rejected for now as part of the article appears to have been closely paraphrased from one of the sources; specifically, the third paragraph of the Career section. Please revise the part so that the article can be approved. Thank you and happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:30, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. I have edited the paragraph. Can you review and let me know if it is good to go? Parul Thakur (talk) 13:04, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs
Thank you for your recent articles, including Puah Rakovsky, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:11, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Puah Rakovsky, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:11, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * This is very helpful. I wasn't aware and I did not know the benefits. Thank you for sharing. I will do that going forward.

Hi! I saw that you created this article! Can I ask what inspired you to do it? Was it WikiForHumanRights? Astinson (WMF) (talk) 22:25, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I was participating in the WAM this November and Bashir was also on the list of Women in Red campaign. So dual inspiration :) At that age and the community she lives in, the work that she is doing is commendable. Let me know if that helps. Parul Thakur (talk) 15:59, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
