Hi, welcome to wikipedia. PS its considered bad form to keep blanking your user page. I hope you find the above links useful. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»=  13:25, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you...well I have been around for a couple of months now. As for blanking my talk page, all stuff till now was related to articles, so I moved them to the talk page of the respective articles, so that everyone editing the article can see it.

moving pages
Please don't do cut-and-paste moves, use Special:Movepage, ok? Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 10:12, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the pointer. What is the syntax for this? Rohitbd 10:15, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh ok...got it, there's a "Move" link on top.
 * Will "moving" a page also update the pages which link to it?
 * It will leave a redirect. You will need to check for double redirects and fix them though. Alphax &tau;&epsilon;&chi; 13:18, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Hinduism
Hi Rohit, I have seen that you are a Hindu and have made contibutions related to Hinduism here on Wikipedia. There is a Hinduism project here which was made, to improve the standard of all the Hindu related articles here. You may consider joining it.

Also, may you please tell me where do you find the devanagari font which you have used. An axample is on Krishna. Thanks  D a  Gizza  Chat  20:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Ragarding correct prononciation of sanskrit words in article Janaka
Hi Rohit Thanks for adding devanagari script to page janaka please fix the name in sanskrit as "Janaka" in the devanagari script. I have fixed in english. right pronounciation is "janaka" not janak. I dont know how to edit devanagari script in wikipedia.
 * AFAIK the name should be pronounced as "janak" for the transliteration (and in Sanskrit). That is because in Hindi or Sanskrit or any other language that is based on Sanskrit the last "a" of the word is not uttered unless the word requires it. For example, राम् ("Rama" in English) transliterates to "Rām" not "Rāma" because we say it as "Rām" (Rā-m) and not "Rāma" (Rā-ma). Also, although commonly written as राम, the "ma" is always cut to "m" and the last "a" is not uttered - this is implicit and while writing, the last character is usually written as "म" instead of "म्" to save time and extra effort. But "म्" is the correct one, especially while writing single words. Rohitbd 10:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rohit, I'm afraid that is not the correct understanding, in sanskrit last "a" is uttered. I think in north indian languages such as hindi, last "a" is not uttered because of persian or urdu influence. many south indian languages such as kannada which use loads of sanskrit words last "a" is uttered and is important part of word. in sanskrit "म" is pronounced "ma" and "म्" is just "m" without last "a". you can confirm this with any sanskrit wikipedia editor. please also note that wikipedia pages on Rama, shiva krishna and Ganasha are worded in correct pronounciation, if one goes by your understanding, they should have been "Ram", "Shiv" and "Krishn" that is not right, and sounds as mistake to one who knows sanskrit.
 * Hi Lokesh,
 * Well I did have a look at Sanskrit learning software www.sanskrit-lamp.org...and the tutorials do say that the last "a" is not uttered and while writing, the termination indicator is used to specify that (you have to download and install the software first). It also says that for normal writing the termination indicator may not be used since it is implicit unless the context demands so. Also, in my humble opinion, even though most South Indian (in fact most Indian) languages borrow a lot from Sanskrit, they do not necessarily pronounce them in Sanskrit - so we cannot use them as a reference to write Sanskrit words. That said, I am no expert in Sanskrit, but if you have more knowledge of it than me then I shall change it. Or refer the issue to someone who is an expert. Till then I suggest keeping the status quo - repeated reverting will only create unnecessary history copies.
 * P.S.: While posting on talk pages, please sign it in the end by using ~ (4 tildes).
 * Rohitbd 09:23, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Rohit,
 * I vote that we should ask opinion of a sanskrit wikipedia editor.

I have learnt sanskrit in my highschool for 3 years and thats is how we used to write the sanskrit in devanagari script. we used to write "म्" only when last "a" is not required in the pronounciation. as you wrote, tutorial also said that termination indicator is used when last is "a" is not uttered. It implies that when last "a" is used, we should not use termination indicator. otherwise there is no use of termination indicator. please see pages for Rama Ganesha and shiva, there you can see termination indicator is not used in sanskrit transiteration. Lokesh 2000 10:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Lokesh, I think there is a basic conflict here of pronounciation...I mean if we could actually hear each other talk we might be able to clear it better. In the case of "Krishna" (Eng), the last "a" is uttered as "krish-Na" and not "krish-N" but for "Rama" (Eng) it is uttered as "rā-m" and not "rā-ma" and hence the writing is correct for Krishna but not for Rama. Rama is spelt in Sanskrit as well as pronounced without the ending "a". For example your name "Lokesh" is correctly written in Sanskrit as लोकेश् (lo-ké-sh) and not लोकेश (lo-ké-sha). My name "Rohit" is written in Sanskrit as रोहित् (ro-hi-t) and not रोहित (ro-hi-ta). In both cases the ending अ implicit in श and त is not pronounced - hence truncated by using the truncation operator to श् and त्. But for most practical purposes, our names will be written as लोकेश and रोहित instead of लोकेश् and रोहित् simply because the cutting-off of the ending "a" in both cases is implicit (and it is also more convenient). But the latter two are the correct way of writing especially if they occur singly to indicate their correct pronounciation - in a sentence the context itself dictates whether the ending "a" is pronounced/spelt or not. Thus for Ganesha and Shiva, the corresponding pronounciations are "ga-Né-sh" (गणेश्) and "shi-v" (शिव्) instead of "ga-Né-sha" (गणेश) and "shi-va" (शिव). Again, it is more common to write the latter two but while pronouncing the former are used. Writing "Ganesha" or "Shiva" in English is common, but that does not mean that it is correct and it would be erroneous to use the English spelling of Sanskrit or Devanagari words as a reference to write those words in Sanskrit & Devanagari. That said, if you so insist I shall change the text - but I would also prefer that the matter be first referred to someone who is very well-versed in Sanskrit. Rohitbd 11:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * In Hindi, we do not include the termination operator for words. But Sanskrit requires it to correctly indicate the termination of "a". In fact my assumption that excluding it for Sanskrit in normal usage is perhaps wrong - it may be required everywhere. Consider the word for "elephant" (गज):
 * In Sanskrit: गज transliterates to ga-ja.
 * In Hindi: गज transliterates to ga-j (implicit exclusion of ending "a").
 * So, as far as writing in Sanskrit goes, if we want to actually pronounce ga-j (like in Hindi) then we have to write it as गज् and not गज. Similarly for गणेश which in Hindi is ga-Né-sh (without the ending "a" - implicit) but has to be written as गणेश् in Sanskrit to be pronounced as ga-Né-sh. Writing in Sanskrit as गणेश would be pronounced (in Sanskrit) as ga-Né-sha. So as long as we want to provide the Sanskrit names we should indicate them with the termination operator (for the correct pronounciation) and omit the operator if we want to provide the Hindi name. Rohitbd 12:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Firstly see WP:HINDU, this is current manual of style that was set up for all Hindu words, (Gods. important people, rishis, concepts etc). Our current policy states the last "a" should be written, reason because "only Hindi drops off the a, most other modern Indian languages (I forgot the example, think it was Gujarati or Marathi) and more importantly Sanskrit did pronounce the a and that MORE THAN 75% OF ENGLISH TEXT BOOKS USE THIS CONVENTION'''


 * The English Text book is important, because this is english wikipedia, not hindi version or sanskrit. It is more likely that people in the U.S., Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand know who Rama is than Ram and who Shiva is than Shiv. Personally I still slightly disagreed because for pronunciational purposes, English speakers would pronounce Rama as रामा rather than राम and Ram will be closer to the correct pronunciation. By the looks of things, with more members in WikiProject Hinduism, it will probably be discussed again.  D a Gizza Chat  (c) 20:10, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Rohit, User:DaGizzas reply it is clear that in sanskrit last "a" uttered. so I request you to fix janaka article. Lokesh 2000 05:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well not really...it is only for the convenience of English speakers that this is followed. Although I am still not convinced, I shall go ahead and make the changes for the sake of standards. Rohitbd 12:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

De-stubbibg Rang De Basanti
Hi, I apologize because I have taken the liberty to again add stub to Rang De Basanti, reverting your edit on 1 February. I think there are lots more to be added to the article.Let's just wait and watch.Lots of accolades and awards are on the offing for this fantastic cinema.We have to add those stuff, and perhaps lots of other pieces of info in near future !!!Ciao--Dwaipayanc 14:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you are right.In that case, the review links already posted there should be moved to the talk page.Anyway,awards etc will have to be added later on !--Dwaipayanc 16:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Copy vio Rang De Basanti
Ooops, they made the synopsis a copy vio!!Good that you did your best to re-write the synopsis.I think this page is getting good traffic nowadays, and a copy-vio stub does not look good in such a page. Anyway,I think you are also in love with the movie just like I.How is the reaction to the movie abroad?(I see that you live in Geneva). Ciao--Dwaipayanc 10:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I am glad that I saw the movie. You know what? I went to the theatre *just because* they were showing a Hindi movie, but little did I know what was in store! It hit me like thunderbolt...anyways, AFAIK the reaction of most (> 90%) Indians who saw it is very positive, can't say about non-Indians, though. Even on sulekha site (http://www.sulekha.com/movies/moviehomepage.aspx?cid=306527) the responses are all very positive. It seems the movie is (out of 5 stars) either getting 4-5 stars or 1-2 stars (no average), but most are 4-5 stars which shows that it has affected many people positively. I just hope that in India maximum people (especially youngsters) see it. I guess being abroad myself, I don't have the right to give sermons about patriotism though. Rohitbd 12:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi.Yes,at least in Kolkata (wgere I am) the film is gonna be a big hit I think.College students are flocking to thr thratres.I am planning to see the movie once again.It's worth multiple watching!Read the BBC review link that I added to Rang De Basanti.The review is short but good.--Dwaipayanc 12:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. It is worth watching many times. I read the BBC review link, even sent my comments (don't know if they'll publish it) and its good to see its doing good in UK. I mean this movie is going to be a big hit - for the simple reason that you & I and all youngsters can readily identify with the characters. I mean in college we WERE those characters!! I have asked everyone that I came across to see it...and am currently pushing my younger brother via chat to see it :-) Rohitbd 12:52, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi.Yes I have seen the most recent synopsis.I think it's ok.Giving away the whole ending is not good.The synopsis is ok now.However, adding a last line like " so, they plan to assasinate the defence minister" - could it be a still better ending for the synopsis?The uninitiated viewer may get a little bit more interested may be!!!!--Dwaipayanc 14:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess its best to leave it as it is. As more and more people see the article they will also change it and in some cases (like mine) will complete rewrite it. Rohitbd 14:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:CCS.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:CCS.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

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 18:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

sir i have read your message and i am very happy that at least you believe that there is problem with this article, i wanted the wiki community to rewrite this article because of the bias but people who don't know about Khalistan and sikh people are not able to see the problem, i hope Indians in wikipedia community are going to do something about it about it, right now afd has been removed from the article by an admin so i am trying to rename this article to "Movement For khalistan" or some thing like it as other encyclopedia have article on this topic but with different title, and there is bias and pov problems too. i hope you are going to supervise this problem because im very new to wikipedia.

Rohit, I agree with that many Hinduism articles were written by non-Hindus. Not till you, me and many others like Aupmanyav, were we able to try to change the views of ignorant people! I, for myself, wrote articles such as Karma in Hinduism to distinguish from that of Buddhism.

Keep up the good work!

Raj2004 02:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Rohit, it's the pseudo-secularism in India that I despise. If India is a secular democracy, why isn't there one uniform law that applies to all?

Best regards,

Raj2004 10:40, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Rohit, every religion has sociological things that are an artifact of the paste. Christians practiced slavery as late as 1800s and no one demonizes their religion even though there are also verses in the Bible that may be interpreted to support slavery.

I am tired of Hindu bashing!

Why do we have so few engineers as Wikipedians?
I am trying to understand why there are so few Wikipedians who are graduate engineers. Once I get a grasp on that, perhaps I may be able to formulate some ideas on how to attract more experienced engineers to become Wikipedians. It would be very helpful if you would respond to these a few questions:


 * Are you a university graduate engineer?
 * Please indicate in which of these engineering disciplines you obtained your degree:
 * Aeronautical or aerospace engineering
 * Bioengineer or biological engineering
 * Chemical engineering
 * Civil engineering
 * Electrical engineering
 * Environmental engineering
 * Mechanical engineering
 * Petroleum engineering
 * Other
 * In what year did you obtain your degree?
 * What attracted you to participate in Wikipedia?

Please respond on my User talk:mbeychok page. Or you may respond to me via Wikipedia's email which I have enabled on my User:mbeychok page.

If you would rather not respond at all, that's fine also. Regards, - mbeychok 04:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

math markup
Why did you do this? Do you do that regularly? — Omegatron 23:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't do this regularly, but yes I do prefer using plain HTML where possible instead of math markup - atleast for in-line notations (single letter with sub/superscript, for example), the image generated is usually larger than the accompanying text and that disturbs the line-spacing. That said, if it is unacceptable then I shall revert it back. Rohitbd 08:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Wikipedia
 Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Wikipedia, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.

Recommendations:
 * 1) Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.
 * 2) All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.
 * 3) Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.
 * 4) Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.
 * 5) Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.
 * 6) Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी  is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.
 * 7) English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).
 * 8) If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended:  Whence,

 * 11) Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
 * 12) For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
 * 13) * 1.
 * 14) * 2.
 * 15) * 3. phonological transcription
 * 16) * 4.  For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.
 * 17) Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article . These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.
 * 18) Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
 * 19) Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
 * 20) The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
 * 21) For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
 * 22) Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
 * 23) When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
 * 24) Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.

For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.

loudspeaker SVG
Hi, Thanks for reminding me about the borders on the the loudspeaker SVG image. I had intended to fix it but it slipped my mind. The magnet colour is now black. I had changed the colour when making it so I could see things more easily, but did not change it back before I uploaded it, opps!. Iain 21:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

What Is the Basic Idea behind a Negative Impedance Converter (NIC)?
Hello Rohitbd,

I would like to focus your attention on one of the most interesting circuit phenomenon - Negative resistance - and on its famous circuit implementation - Negative impedance converter. IMO, both the phenomenon and the circuit have never explained (if you have ever met good explanations about this subject, please let me know!) I have been trying to reveal the secret of this "mystic" circuit from many years. Now, I have the feeling that I have managed to grasp the basic idea behind it; so, I would like to share my penetration with Wikipedia audience.

I have already created the first circuit stories about dynamic and negative resistance. Now, I am developing two pages about NIC with voltage inversion and NIC with current inversion. I have the idea to co-ordinate this work with according Wikipedia pages. Following the Wikipedia conventions, I have first exposed my suggestion on Talk:Negative impedance converter. I would be glad, if you and other experienced Wikipedians who love exotic circuits join this discussion.

I have also tried to resume the discussion about Current source and the dual Voltage source − see Talk:Current_source where I have suggested to rearrange the structure of these pages. As I can see, you have participated very actively in the creating of the pages; so, I may expect that you will react to my suggestion. Circuit-fantasist 18:00, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Class-D Amplifier
There is a request from the Class D amplifier page for an update to the Pwm_amp.svg file; replacing the inductor in the low pass filter section with a resistor. I am not an expert myself, but the people there say that it should be a resistor. I could probably change the file myself, but I offer you the chance first. Egmason (talk) 10:31, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, the premise of Class-D amplifier is high efficiency - which means least power lost as heat. The filter has to use L & C to keep losses at a minimum. Using an RC filter will cause losses in the resistor.


 * Like I say, I am not an expert. I have just checked and someone else has pointed this out. Egmason (talk) 08:11, 12 February 2012 (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. 02:27, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
