Article Feedback deployment
Hey Smtchahal; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:19, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notification! —             04:49, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Not sure how I can be any more neutral. I just described the tv show as it is. Can you explain a little more please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaythemeo (talk • contribs) 15:12, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The last two lines of the introduction of the article were what I found disputing. The last line looks like it's written in an excited tone rather than a neutral one. Please see Neutral point of view for further help regarding neutrality.
 * Also, I've noticed that the article you created does not cite to any references. If it is not referenced to reliable sources soon, it may be marked for deletion by an author. See Citing sources for help on citing references. Feel free to ask me anything here on my talk page. —             03:32, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Please exercise care not to overwrite
Thank you for your interest in assisting with the article I am working on List_of_museums_in_Karnataka. You are welcome to contribute to the page. However during your edits you have undone some of the edits I have made especially links to wiki pages. This is quite undesirable. Please do exercise care so as to not let this happen again. Happy editing. And thanks. Arunram (talk) 09:06, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I feared it would happen. I was warned about edit conflicts twice when I tried submitting my changes. Having lost my changes at first, I didn't want to lose them again as it took me a lot of time converting the external links to references. So the next time I went to edit the page, I copied all the source content to the clipboard to make sure I don't lose it once again. But I was again warned about the edit conflict. Since I didn't want to do it all over again, I overrode the source (along with your changes) with what I had copied. I'm sorry for that and I assure you it won't happen again.
 * Also, I noticed that the article was previously (i.e., before my edits) filled with external links in the table listing the museums. I believe that external links are generally avoided in the main body of Wikipedia articles (seeWP:External Links) and are usually added in a separate section if it's needed. I hope you make sure you don't include external links in Wikipedia articles the way you did on this article. —             09:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The article is very new one (just a few hours old) and is a work in progress. I am familiar with the point you are highlighting. I will do the needful. I do need some time to get the page in order first. The content for this page has been put together after a gathering information from numerous sources. If you knew there was an edit conflict, you should try and take care to restore the edits that were lost. You are welcome to contribute to the content too. Arunram (talk) 09:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You will also appreciate it takes a lot of time to document references elegantly and comprehensively. The references added are just links now and needs further improvement. You are welcome to help here too as it takes time and effort. best, Arunram(talk) 09:52, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi
I've changed your Hindi tag to Nepali. Not that it helps much - just keeps things tidier. If you (like me) don't speak the language, check the Google translation to see if it makes sense, and it does, OK, you've got it. (If you do speak it, check it yourself for sense...) If it doesn't (as this doesn't), try near relations. If that doesn't work, drop a bit into Google search (without quotes). Look in the ghits for the Wikipedia in the language, or Facebook and such. You can gain valuable clues that way. If you get a match for the whole of your test bit, check it out - you might have a copyvio. I've used this trick for a few years on Pages Needing Translation. People get quite impressed when you identify something as being an Upper Slobodian translation of the Gospel According to St John, or as pure spam. Smoke and mirrors really, but it works quite well... Peridon (talk) 15:22, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I did notice that the article is not in Hindi when I read it (I know Hindi). I just assumed it was in Hindi because of the script it was written in and didn't read the text at all... Thanks for pointing it out. —            05:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi (2)
just saw your message re. Jack Warshaw. It's intended as information not promotion. The format attempts to follow guidelines as seen in similar writings concerning other artists. If you would be so kind as to help correct any wrong impression I would be much obliged. I have not saved the material elsewhere and would be grateful if you can let me have it back in the meantime for further work. best

 * I made your title the header. Note that new topics that are to be discussed on talk pages should be added in new sections.
 * Hello. Please note that Wikipedia articles need to be written in a particular format. Your article did not follow the format and hence appeared to be a promotional one (filled with external links, which are not allowed in the main body of the article and might be considered to be promotional). I have cleaned up the article a little bit, but as I'm not knowledgeable about the topic, it still needs to be further improved.


 * I noticed that you are a new user on Wikipedia. You are welcome to edit and create articles, but please note that since it takes a great deal of time to get used to writing Wikipedia articles the way they are supposed to be written, new editors are usually advised to edit a few existing articles before creating a new one. Please see WP:MFA for help on writing Wikipedia articles.


 * I also noticed that you tried adding a picture to the article. I've deleted it, since that's not how media on Wikipedia works. Files (images, sound files and video files) are to be uploaded to Wikipedia here. Note that there are certain policies about files that are uploaded to Wikipedia regarding its copyright status, etc. Please read them on the upload page carefully before uploading anything or you risk the files getting deleted. Just notify me when you've done with uploading the file (after verification of the image) and I will add it to the article for you. Feel free to ask me anything here on my talk page. —            05:39, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Crispin's School logo.png
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Crispin's School logo.png, has been listed at Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 16:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have replaced with  on the file's description page, specifying a use rationale (i.e. to use it in the Infobox of St. Crispin's Senior Secondary School). I did so because the website on which I found the file suggests that the file is copyrighted. I did not know that the image was too complex for the  tag I had placed on its description when I uploaded the file. Can you please remove  template from the file description, or is there still a need of further consensus? Thanks,              07:47, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * PUF tag removed. I compared the image with two images which have been found to be copyrighted:
 * http://www.ipmall.info/hosted_resources/CopyrightAppeals/2006/CCC%20Logo.pdf page 1 contains two logos. One which only says "CCC" and one which has three extra words and a border. The one with the extra words and the border was found to be protected by copyright.
 * http://no-solicitors-sign.com/ has two signs which are both protected by copyright and the right one isn't particularly complex.
 * My immediate thought was that this logo was more complex than these two images. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:38, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm FunnyPika. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Sapto Djojokartiko, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Funny Pika! 17:17, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

AWB
You can now use AWB. INeverCry  22:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for granting me the consent! AWB makes my job dramatically easier. I understand the risk of using the software, that it can automatically make edits I might not approve. But I'll always make sure I check my edits before saving them. Thanks again!       04:05, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

How do certain articles have italicized titles?
Usually I don't ask questions — I just look them up in the various Wikipedia-space and Help-space articles — but I couldn't find anything that could help me with this.

I know why some article titles need to be italicized, but I don't know how they become so. That's because I want to italicize the title of the article Terrible Beauty (novel) as "Terrible Beauty" is the name of a novel. Is it possible to italicize only a part of the title? Because I don't want to italicize "(novel)". Any help would be appreciated. smt cha  hal  12:49, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * See Template:Italic title. That will intelligently italicise only what comes before the brackets. JohnCD (talk) 13:54, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
