WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Kahaani
Want to take a look at Kahaani? I suspect this article will grow quite a bit and it could use some editing - I am still technically "on break" but I come by every once and awhile. Looks like a good film article to get people working on. -Classicfilms (talk) 23:49, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Core promoter
I was surprised to find that Wikipedia has no article on core promoters, a very important genetics topic, and noticed that the article had been deleted by you. The deletion log says: "2011-09-10T 20:53:34 SpacemanSpiff deleted page Core promoter (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement: Unattributed copy-paste from multiple articles, see ANI thread on Marshallsumter)" I absolutely agree that we cannot tolerate massive copyright infringement and that, if the accusation is correct, the deletion was perfectly justified. However, I found a copy of the article on a Wikipedia mirror site, and I noticed that it was quite extensive and well-written, cited many sources and linked to various other articles. I think Wikipedia should have an article on this very important topic, so I am going to rewrite it (without infringing, copyright, naturally). Do you think something can be salvaged from the old article for this purpose? Was really every part of it a copyright infringement, or were the some paragraphs that might still be used? Also, do you know if the Wiki markup text of the article can still be accessed you I could at least copy the citation templates? This would save me a lot of work. Thanks. --Shinryuu (talk) 19:35, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
