Welcome to Wikiproject India
 Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Please participate in any of our descendant workgroups that might interest you.
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
 * Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! -- Lost (talk) 17:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Charans
Hi,

As I said on the comments page, the article very weak in maintaining a neutral point of view. The sentences like "They are highly revered for their unflinching readiness for martyrdom, bravery in war, high literary sense and deep loyalty to patrons." are unacceptable in an encyclopedia. The article is everywhere pro-Charans and a thorough copyedit is needed to make the article neutral. There is also a lot of original research in this article like "Charans respect bravery, loyalty and truth more than life." Also, I am quite certain that Charan mataji.jpg violates copyrights and is not made by Karan gadhavi. Same is true for Karaniji.jpg. In addition to them, there needs to be a dedicated section for history right from the beginning to present times. A section on social and ecomonic condition of Charans today is also required. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Bafna
on the article of Bafna,i say that i writte on Bafna FOR MY web site of Bafnawadi.com and i am the owner of that.so there is no issue of copyright.please see SANJAY BAFNA
 * Thanks Sanjay to clarify this. Often authors do not automatically hold the copyright of material for their articles. If web-site belongs to you, or you have agreement with web-site about copyright, in that case I would suggest you should write something like this on talk page of article, 'I own copyrights for the material of so and so web-site and giving it on this article under GFDL. pruthvi 16:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Striking your vote
Hello Pruthvi.vallabh,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely, Kizu Naoko Philippe

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dula Bhaya Kag.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dula Bhaya Kag.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Image:Harilalupadhyay.gif - copyright issues
Hi,

I saw that you have marked the image

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Harilalupadhyay.gif

as possible copyright infringement.

I admire the way you are continuously monitoring the stuff to keep wikipedia the most reliable source without violating copyright rules.

Though, as i have mentioned on the image page. That I am the owner of the site harilalupadhyay.org and hence i can claim the image as self created. I am permitting wikipedia to use it under GPL. The comments you can find on the image page as well. I am worried that why the image is not unmarked yet!!!

Please let me know in case I need to provide any further clarification from my side.

 * Thanks for donating an image of Shri Harilal Upadhyay under GFDL, indeed he is a great author and his article should carry a good image of him. I am going to remove the copyright violation tag from his image however I am afraid that will not be useful because once marked as copyright violation there should be a reasonable way to decide on whether edits done in the name of Jiten Upadhayay (copyright holder) are indeed done by Jiten Upadhyay. In brief either your web-site should mention that the said image is available under GFDL or you should send an e-mail to wikipedia from the e-mail address shown on your web-site that you are releasing said image under GFDL. Please follow the instruction at following page Copyright_problems

Regarding Image of Harilal Upadhyay
Hi Pruthvee,

Thanks for the prompt response. Can you provide me the E-Mail address of wikipedia where I need to send the confirmation from my E-Mail address mentioned on the site.

I appreciate your suggestion to have better Image of Late Shri Harilal Upadhyay on the article page. I will try to update with better alternate in near future.

Ok I got it ...

Assessment Department
I finally assessed your article - sorry about the delay (of 2 months!!) Unfortunately, it wasn't promoted to a B-class. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or comments about assessment in general, or are replying to the comments here. Ncmvocalist (talk) 05:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Mangalore
Hello..Good assesement on the Mangalore Article. Since, you have assesed the Mangalore article and you have gone through the Mangalore Article, why don't you yourself assess the article at Good article nominations. GA status requires more detailed review but doesn't always require a very experienced reviewer. Any editor who has not contributed significantally to the Article can take it up. Your minor contribution will help WikiProject India and it will be even your first professional assesement on Wikipedia. Remember, the guidelines for GA is not as stringent as that for a FA.

A good article should just have the following attributes:

1. It is well written. In this respect:

(a) the prose is clear and the spelling and grammar are correct; and (b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect, it: (a) provides references to all sources of information, and at minimum contains a section dedicated to the attribution of those sources in accordance with the guide to layout; (b) at minimum, provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons; and (c) contains no original research.

3. It is broad in its coverage. In this respect, it: (a) addresses the major aspects of the topic; and (b) stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary details (see summary style).

4. It is neutral; that is, it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias. 5. It is stable; that is, it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of an ongoing edit war. Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. 6. It is illustrated, where possible and appropriate, by images. In this respect:

(a) images used are tagged with their copyright status, and fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and (b) the images are appropriate to the topic, and have suitable captions.-->>>>>>Kensplanet (talk) 12:51, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for inviting to assess Mangalore articles for good article category. Tomorrow onward I am going on vacation and wouldn't be accessing internet.

Fair use rationale for Image:Ahir woman.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ahir woman.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Stamp
Please READ the fair use stamp tag.


 * "It is believed that the use of postage stamps to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design)"

Do NOT restore the stamp, unless you start an article on the stamp. This can't be used in the biography of the subject of the stamp. Thank you. --Ragib (talk) 05:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe you are mentioning Dula Bhaya Kag article. The image is used to illustrate the stamp and hence constitutes fair use. I do not agree that stamp must have separate article to constitute fair use. Unless there is consensus of editors/administrators to remove the said image, I will restore the image. pruthvi (talk) 09:09, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Malkaush spelling
You are right that Internet use of the spelling 'Malkauns' does not necessarily justify it. However, many reference works on Hindustani music use the spelling 'Malkauns', as do covers for recorded media (LPs, cassettes, CDs). I remember chatting with the Gundecha bandhu (dhrupadiyas) sometime back and them also referring to the raga as 'Malkauns'. I am well aware of the origin of the name 'Malkaush', and it is quite possible that the preferred spelling has changed over the years, but in that case we should use the most commonly used spelling. This happens with other ragas also, for example Iman/Yaman has more than one accepted spelling. Just because Iman was the original spelling doesn't mean the article should be titled 'Iman'; we should go with current usage. FUtheresa (talk) 15:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. I agree that spelling/pronunciations are not a static thing, they keep on changing with time. At the same time, I do not feel that popularity of "Malkauns" spelling is grown to such an extent it has out numbered "Malkaush". However, this is not the point I want to debate here. Often use of spellings are matter of personal preferences rather than their correctness, accuracy or popularity. Whether one should use american spelling or british spelling, same logic applies in our debate. The consensus is that contributors should be allowed to contribute in their preferred spellings. Once article is grown at least B-class at that point matter to be decided based on number of contributions, references and overall consensus. I request to leave "Malkaush" title as it is until it is at least B-class. At that point, article will have sufficient number of references and contributors to decide on popularity of spelling. pruthvi (talk) 04:54, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi. You don't need to use MfD to delete pages in your own userspace. Just add db-user to the page, and it will be deleted. However, you shouldn't just copy and paste articles you have developed in your userspace to mainspace. You should use the move function to move the article, and then delete the redirect. This maintains the edit history. // roux    05:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pruthvi. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. Sundarbot is a standard Interwiki bot. So, I think it might have done that because of some wrong linking in one of the wikipedias.

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. 02:19, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
