Bagram Airfield vs. Bagram Air Base
I have lived on BAF for the last year. I think I know what the place is named. Do you live and work here? Why is my changing the page from the incorrect "Air Base" to the correct "Airfield" an issue with you? Alexif (talk) 15:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Sushant, just saw the barnstar on my page. Thanks a lot!!! Well, real life has really caught up with me. No sign of work being eased. So not going to be active on wikipedia for a while. Good to see so many good articles by you. Keep it up. And dont let your studies suffer. All the best. — Lost (talk) 16:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Heyz
Even my exams got over today (28th March) at last. I can't describe how relieved i am. How were your exams? These one month long exams and 11 papers killed me. I missed wikipedia a lot. I am completely ready for collaborating. What are you interested in? I wanna go for some article which is major and popular and has many sources (coz then its easier to work on it and can be got to GA or even FA). SO any suggestions? I am open to any suggestions. Reply awaited dude! Indianescence (talk) 09:22, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I doubt i will be able to take up the glossary as my main article for editing. But i can surely help you with that. Right now i am cleaning up all my article which were badly vandalized in my absence. I was thinking that we could gor for Geyser if you don't mind because this article is very important as well as this article was once Featured and now it is in a very bad condition. You can frankly tell me what you feel. No pressure. And yes, how were your exams? Reply awaited. Indianescence (talk) 10:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh no no...I edited music articles just for time pass. I was not fully into wikipedia at that time (as i am quite young on wikipedia). I edited those article because my sister wanted me to (funny..i know). I like Geogo too and i myself wanted to get into them. I thought before that for editing scientific article, you need to know it perfectly. But now i know that wikipedia works plainly on sources. So now i have the confidence to edit those articles. My exams went well though they were tough too (compared to last year). I am hoping for good results now. If you don't mind, can i take up Numbers and Distribution,Misnamed Geysers and Geysers on Triton. You can go for the rest. Feel free to express what you feel. Indianescence (talk) 07:59, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I am into it. Here we go! Indianescence (talk) 08:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, the info is kool. But do you think that the images are free? They will be awesome in the article. Indianescence (talk) 08:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome, wanted that image more than others. Its really informative. Indianescence (talk) 08:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[outdent]Just wanted to inform you that i have archived my talk page. Indianescence (talk) 08:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I checked me mail. I didn't see any mail with your name. Can you be more clear? Or is it April fool? Indianescence (talk) 14:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you come online on yahoo messenger. You give me your id, i will add you soon. Indianescence (talk) 15:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you okay? You sound more hilarious than serious. These questions are damn odd and i don't feel its of any importance to me like you had mentioned. These questions just threat my neutrality on the internet.i would not like to answer them if you don't mind. Indianescence (talk) 15:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's okay. But i would like to know, if you don't mind, why is it important for you to know? Indianescence (talk) 15:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Movie??WHAT!! Nothing goes in my head. Tell me, are you okay, or you are still sticking to some April Fool trick? Indianescence (talk) 15:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that this movie/documentary has had a deep impact on you. Feel the message but don't let it get on you. Take the movie lightly and chill out in life. There are many negatives in life, we should adjust and live with them rather than sitting and blaming them. Indianescence (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[outdent]There are many things in life which are negative and unknown dude. But when we come to know them, we should not let them upset us to an extent that it makes you feel miserable. Everything can't be perfect in life. It is good to be aware but not MAD! We should think of moving ahead in life and that you can do when you learn to adjust. A real winner in life is that person who becmoes successful in life by emerging over these negatives/problems. Don't let this get heavy on you. Live your life to the fullest and make you own little world happy. Don't let the things spoil you life. Just get over it now. You can't do anything about it.

 * All you need to do is to just appreciate the good things in life. Feel thankful for whatever you have. Cheers and i hope to see you back on track in life and see you on Geyser. Hehe. Indianescence (talk) 16:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[outdent]That's an awesome link. This is what i like about the topic Geyser. It has so much info on the net. Now it is on us to choose the best and present it nicely. We'll have to scrutinize the links and choose the text. It's way easier than working on music articles. Indianescence (talk) 09:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh no. Never. I did it coz i feel it looks good. Of course we will make it go through GA first. But i feel it still needs a lot of work. Geyser is a vast topic and it should be atleast 35,000 bits long for GA. For FA i think it should be 50,000. And yes, i had 2 questions. 1)Should we have to write a new section on "Geothermal Energy"? and 2)Can you suggest a better name for "Misnamed Geysers"? Indianescence (talk) 14:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * We can't club the two sections together as the so-called geysers in the "Misnamed geysers" section are not geysers only. They can't be put under "types of Geysers" coz they are not geysers in true sense. I still doubt whether we should call it Hydrothermal energy. If you see the article Geothermal Energy, it talks about geysers majorly. Do give it a look. Indianescence (talk) 07:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, i was trying to empasise on the use of geysers by human to produce enery. That is, Geothermal energy. I was indeed talking about Commercial use. I have left a note of Talk:Geyser. Do have a look. Indianescence (talk) 08:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * To explain why misnamed geysers are false geysers, we have to explain how they function and that is quite a long info. Compressing it would result in omission of important info. If we club them, it would become a huge section and we will be asked by other editors (during GAC,FAC) to break it up. Indianescence (talk) 08:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * You don't need to ask me. I have myself suggested on the talk page the need of more sections. Go ahead. Keep up the good work. Indianescence (talk) 08:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And yes, i felt that we need a map of the world showing the geyser locations in the world. Something similar to this. I am not very good with images. If you could do a favour and arrange for one such world map for the Numbers and Distribution section, i would be grateful. I will try my best too. Thanks. Indianescence (talk) 08:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[outdent] That was so kind. Not anything for now, but i would let you know if am in need. Thanks. If you need anything from me, feel free. You new section is really nice. Indianescence (talk) 08:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why will i? Its not a strict rule that we can't edit each other's sections. My work in that section will continue for a longer time. It seems major geysers and their distribution is a very vast topic. Indianescence (talk) 08:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. That is why i have put that temporary map. I hope we get the new map soon. Indianescence (talk) 08:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you should go ahead. I just wanted to inform you(as you are a part of geyser work), i have raised an issue on Talk:Triton (moon) about geysers. You may have alook on it. And yes, that work on images in AWESOME. TO be honest, i am highly impressed. I suck at images! Indianescence (talk) 13:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I am feeling quite embarrased to say this, but i am not able to understand at all the discussion on Triton's talk page. Can you tell me the final desicion after it is made in simple language on my talk page. Thanks. Indianescence (talk) 13:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup..Downloading songs :)) Indianescence (talk) 18:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

No,no. I don't mind. So what planned after 10th? How much do you expect in 10th? Indianescence (talk) 18:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I seriously have no idea. I am not a topper too, but a Top 5 (only coz others don't study). I am expecting in late 80's maybe. I may enter 90's(by mistake). I am thinking of AIEEE, BITSAT and MHT-CET (Maharashtra Exam). To study for all these, i have to study for IIT (though i am not aiming for IIT). My classes start on 16th April. So i may again become semi-active on wikipedia. You seem to have quite different ambition. Mein toh bheed (crowd) mein chalne waalon mein se hoon.;) Indianescence (talk) 18:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw only the first part in theatre when it was released (sounds like centuries before!) I remember i like it. SO where do you stay in Delhi? Even i belong to somewhere near (Gaziabad). I do visit there once every 2 years. But now i don;t coz of studies. Indianescence (talk) 18:35, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Technical Drawing Applications. Tiring but interesting. This year ICSE papers came quite tough. Last year they were a cakewalk. ICSE is damn unexpectable. I was is CBSE from class 1 to 4. I had to leave it. You have an advantage of knowing CBSE MAths. It will help u a lot in future. Indianescence (talk) 18:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * After my classes start, i will hardly be there at home. I think i will end up making small contributions here and there. I can surely help you with that. I hope to get geyser at GA before the end of this month at least. Indianescence (talk) 04:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Its ok. I wanted that section on Uses of Geysers because as far as my experience goes, we should be ready with any circumstance. If they (i.e GA reviewer) ask us for a section on that during GAC, then the article will fail. As far as medical use is concerned, i think it will suit Hot springs more than geysers (No man sits in a geyser for heat therapy or for taking up minerals!). Whenever you feel that the article is ready for GAC, go ahead and nominate. Currently i am indulged in a horrific EDIT WAR. It is getting on my nerve. I have to solve the matter there immediately. Thanks Indianescence (talk) 05:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[outdent] WP:Edit war. Edit war is something in which one editor makes an edit and the other keeps on undoing them thinking that they are incorrect. This editing and undoing keeps on going on. It is also accompanied sometimes by abuses. This is currently happening with genres of my articles. Why don't we toegether start the section as we have almost made our sections to a decent level. Let's start then. Indianescence (talk) 06:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you suggest a name? Commercial Usage of Geysers or Uses of Geysers or something else? Indianescence (talk) 06:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That section on uses is awesome! I give green signal from my side. But let us review the article one more time (for spellings and sentence formation) before you nominate. I will do my review, then you can do yours. When i am done with my review, i will inform you. Indianescence (talk) 13:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That geyser template is mind blowing. I had done a clean up of the article, but my net went off and i couldn't save my edits. I will review the article again. Indianescence (talk) 18:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

✅ I have finished my clean up. I never used "&nbsp" anywhere in my sections. So when you check the article, can you see where are they needed in my sections. Thanks a lot. As on my part, i feel the article is ready for GAC. Indianescence (talk) 18:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No no. I don't mind. Now lets wait and watch. Fingers crossed. and yes, i hope there is no objection on the map!! Indianescence (talk) 08:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The article has undergone a GA review. Its on hold. Do have a look. I have tried my best to address the issues raised. Lets see what happens. Indianescence (talk) 05:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's ok. It must be paining badly. You take care of yourself. This GA nomination seems to be very confusing. I never knew dashes and spaces mattered so much! Lets wait and watch. Indianescence (talk) 15:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a very informal note. This VanTucky seems to be a very strict guy. Look on his user page. He has failed many GA articles. I hope he doesn't read this. hehe. Indianescence (talk) 15:26, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * At least he liked the prose. But i would really feel bad if the article fails because of dashes and spaces. Honestly, it sounds very kiddish to me. It seems i am in a very frank mood. I am blurting out everything i feel in the corner of my heart. ;)Indianescence (talk) 15:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I feel he is sensible enough to put logic above anger. I have given a slight hint about it in my new comment on the talk page. I think you would like to answer that survey on the talk page. Dank seems to be enthusiastic about the replies. Indianescence (talk) 15:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Congratualtaions bro! The article is now GA dude! We've done it! That GA sign looks so good! hehe!'''Indianescence (talk) 04:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC) And here is you well desreved barnstar
 * You are absolutely correct that volcanoes make geysers work. What i was asking was, How? I know there already are some lines about it, but i don't know why, i am getting a feeling that there is something more about the sychronization in the working of Volcano and Geyser together. If there is nothing much about it, then i seriously don't mind its absence in the article as a section. I just gave it thaught. Indianescence (talk) 16:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * For Tourism in New Zealand (Rotorua) see . Rotorua is most famous for geyser tourism in New Zealand.
 * For Geyser Tourism in Iceland see
 * And for Geyser Tourism in Yellowstone, see You can pick many statistical data from these sites too. For searching, i typed, "geyser  place name  tourism" in google search. Cheers! Indianescence (talk) 15:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, so thats the case. But i feel that the Iceland source is not a Tour Company site. Its a guide for tourists in Iceland. I think guides will be allowed as they don't advertise tour packages. Indianescence (talk) 07:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:Verifiability states, that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. I feel that the iceland source is reliable as it is not a blog site. Its a travel guide, not an advertisement! Indianescence (talk) 16:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[outdent] Hey Sushant. I hope you are doing well. Well, recently i worked on Running (No Doubt song), and got it to GA, and then now on "Rock Steady to Featured Topic Candidate". I was quite occupied at it. I hope Rock Steady becomes Featured topic soon. Well, i have a kinda bad news. My classes start from 25th April, and my dad is getting my T.V and Net cut. As a result, unfortunately and sadly, i wont be able to work on wikipedia till August 2010. I felt bad, but i know its for my own good. I might be able to come on wikipedia very rarely, maybe i will come to just talk to you. It was extremely great and fun working with you on Geyser. I will be leaving wikipedia on 28th April. I hope you enjoy your time here, Himachal Pradesh needs you. hehe. Take care. Bye. Indianescence (talk) 10:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh no, never. I can never ever forget you. You are the one with whom i have talked the most on wikipedia. All the best to you too in life. Who thaught that life just after tenth would also be busy!! Bye bro! Indianescence (talk) 17:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not now, April 28th. That's my dad and the Internet company have given the ultimatum. Indianescence (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No Ways!!Its sin!!My dad told me that he is getting the net cut because of my classes. Then he contacted the Internet company which said that they will disconnect my net on 28th. So that's my final day. Indianescence (talk) 17:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Even i am waiting for Rock Steady to become Featured Topic . It was User:17Drew's dream. I am waiting for it to pass. Drew could not make Running (No Doubt song) a GA, so his dream was left unfulfilled. i did that and i hope his dream comes true, though he is not on wikipedia since December. Indianescence (talk) 17:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually Drew was the guy whom i met first on wikipedia. I made very silly edits initially. Anyone else would have kicked me out. But he kept on telling me the right way to edit and encouraged me. Everyone knows how good he was in editing and how high-class he was, yet he spoke to me. He helped me a lot, so it was my time to return it. Thats what i did. I hope one day he returns and sees my gift for him. Indianescence (talk) 18:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Himachal Pradesh
Hi Sushant, how are you? I made some edits (mostly structural edits) in Himachal Pradesh, more will follow. I went though the FAC of the article, and also read large parts of the article. Several MoS issues need to be solved. Hope those could be fixed easily. After I do some more edits (may need a few days), how about a peer review?--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know about the article Economic development in India. You did tell about it when it was being developed.
 * Anyway. let's see how the HP article goes. Probably the "culture" section would need additional content.--Dwaipayan (talk) 03:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

History of Microsoft
Good suggestion. It should be better now? Cheers! Gary King (talk) 03:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, if you have time, could your review the article? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 03:33, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I appreciate it! I also have nominated a related article for WP:GAN (it is much shorter), Paul Allen. The nomination is at Good_article_nominations - if you have time, I'd appreciate a review for that one, too, since it is related to Microsoft :) Cheers! Gary King (talk) 03:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Any update on Paul Allen? Thanks! :) Gary King (talk) 19:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Gary King (talk) 03:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, just FYI I'm looking at your Paul Allen notes right now. I'll be done in a few minutes, so don't leave! Gary King (talk) 06:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, your comments have all been addressed. Please respond. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 06:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see the style being used at either article that you provided. Gary King (talk) 08:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Please link me to a recently promoted Featured Article that uses this style. I am not trying to be contentious, but this is something that I have never seen - and as you can see from my user page, I have been involved in a number of article promotions. Please continue this discussion on Talk:Paul Allen. Gary King (talk) 08:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the barnstar. As for Weber-Stephen Products Co., I knew it was a long shot to pass WP:GA, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway, and at least get some constructive feedback on the article on ways to improve. Obviously, length is the glaring issue right now. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 18:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've worked on Steve Dahl and tried to follow your suggestions. Please let me know if it's good enough now or if it still needs work. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 21:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Arad, Israel GA
Hi, thanks for your comments. Initially I thought that you were just out to auto-fail the article for trivial reasons, but now I see that you're a genuine reviwer. I am working on improving the article in accordance with your comments. However, I have a few concerns:
 * The images in the history section - it's a browser issue, I guess related to web standards compliance. It works just fine on IE. I'll try to fix it somehow, maybe with a gallery, but moving the images to the left is not a good solution.
 * About images - this is actually something that really bothers me in many other articles, especially GAs and FAs - not enough images. Redirecting the reader to a commons category doesn't help anyone, and I'm saying this from vast experience as both an editor and reader on Wikipedia. As long as there's no policy or guideline prohibiting the use of images as they are used/placed in the article on Arad, I don't think anything should be changed.

You'll also be glad to know that I fixed most of the other issues you raised (the small ones).

Cheers, Ynhockey (Talk) 17:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just to elaborate on the reason why I thought your initial review was unfair off-hand: notice that the article's subject is a very small town in the middle of nowhere, which isn't really that notable - I think in India for example, which has a billion people, it would probably not be considered notable enough to even mention. Even so, the article is very long (over 40 kB), includes a wealth of sourced information which most GAs even on big cities do not include (see Ashdod for example), images from all over town, including a couple original ones from the 1990s (!!!), as well as three original maps, including a full street map (I haven't really seen another article on all of Wikipedia which has this, including FAs). In light of all these merits, the only real issues you found were some citation needed tags and a short lead. It's kind of hard for me to understand how that's fair, although as I said in my previous comment, I am working to improve the article as we speak. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Very well, I'll try to do something with the images. It's very difficult for me to know about formatting issues on other systems, and a screenshot would really help. On my 17" monitor, the formatting looks perfect and very in-place. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for withdrawing the complaint, although I'd still like a screenshot, if possible, of what it looks like on your system. In that case, I'll make an effort to format the images better for wide-screen monitors. I admit that thinking about it now, some sections' formatting must looks horrible on wide-screen, because the heights were very specifically chosen on many images. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 17:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I have already addressed the citation needed issue. Please see Talk:Arad, Israel and the article itself. Good night! -- Ynhockey (Talk) 18:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the pass of this article. Flymeoutofhere (talk) 19:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW - I just thought - would you consider doing a GA review of Haifa for me. Its had 2 failed GAC's - the comments from the second one were almost fully addressed, but I had no reply from the reviewer despite asking him whether its ok. Itd be great if you could do that. Thanks. Flymeoutofhere (talk) 19:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Black Tide
Ummm... First off, the lead for a short article shouldn't be very long. Second, band's that are reletavly underground don't really require images. Third, the history is brief... because their history is very brief. I think that you should take a look a other heavy metal GAs and reconsider. Burningclean [speak]  20:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh by the way, I just re-read my first comment and it seems like I came on pretty strong. Sorry about that, I didn't mean to. Cheers, Burningclean  [speak]  00:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Taken care of. Thanks, Burningclean  [speak]  03:00, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * References are not supposed to be in the lead because they are later talked about in the article. If I were to use a quote or something in the lead, and it did not appear elsewhere in the article, It would need a citation. Otherwise it is not advised. Thanks, Burningclean  [speak]  03:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Did you read the article?!? "The band started touring and gained a position on the second stage of Ozzfest, but were kicked off the tour because the stage was sponsored by Jägermeister, due to the fact some of the band members were under the legal drinking age. Although the band were no longer appearing on the second stage, Black Tide was able to be the opening act on the main stage in some areas, opening for Lordi, Static-X, Lamb of God, and Ozzy Osbourne.[2] After Ozzfest, the band toured with Avenged Sevenfold and All That Remains.[3][4]" Burningclean  [speak]  03:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

GA reviews
Hi! I've noticed that you've been doing some GA reviews. When reviewing articles, please make sure that everything you put onto the talk page regarding the GA review is placed within one section header only, and that you link to it from the ArticleHistory template. I've noticed that several of your reviews have the review itself under one section header, and the pass/fail under a separate one, which is not correct -- it's not a good idea to separate this. Thanks! Dr. Cash (talk) 05:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I can wait. But next time refrain from typing in caps-lock. OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Excuse me? When you called me "reviewing a portal for the first time", that's personal attack. My review experience is 10 times more than you, to be honest. I'm a featured portal co-director (see Featured portal candidates/Co-directors) and I am one of the most experienced reviewer in the community that they trusted me to be a GA Sweeps participant (see WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps). For your question on why I raise concerns in installments, the reason is because I was on exam last week (don't get me started, I got 4 exams in 5 days). I won't have time to use an hour to review every aspect of the portal. Plus I even helped you to clean up some stuff in the portal while I was in my exam week. If you continue to attack editors, I have no choice but to block you. OhanaUnited<b style="color:green;">Talk page</b> 16:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Reporting vandals
I saw you asked DerHexer personally to block user Hagi123. You do know that WP:AIV is the general place to report such vandals, right? - Face 15:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. To answer your question: if a user has received sufficient warnings and a final warning, and if you're intention is to protect the encyclopedia (and/or certain users), then it is certainly not a bad practice to request a block. Be it via WP:AIV or a specific admin. But I just wanted to say that WP:AIV is the prefered way. Keep vandal-hunting because you're help is appreciated! Cheers, Face 20:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

why did you cancel my post
Hi,

I am new to Wikipedia, and I have just added a link to the Wavecom's web site in the external links section of the Machine To Machine page. Wavecom is one of the main players in this arena. Furthermore, there is already a link in the same section of the same page pointing to the Siemens web site (which is another leader in M2M).

Could you explain me the reason why you did cancel my post and what is the difference between my external link and the one pointing to Siemens web site on the same page ?

Evolutionary history of life
Hi, Sushant. I'm impressed that you started Evolutionary history of life as a 16-year-old - at that age I woudn't have known where to begin - and I've been keen on the subject since I was about 11. I have every intention of improving it as much as possible. The old version (e.g at end-July 2008) was far too focussed on molecular biology, and virtually ignored other perspectives (especially geology & paleontology) and important stages in the story (e.g microbial mats, which owned the biosphere for over 2000 M years and arguably still do). A buddy and I are the active members of WP:CEX, and hopefully have wide enough background knowledge to provide reasonable coverage. We'll go for GA when we think the article covers the subject decently - huge gaps in coverage were why it was demoted from GA to C-class. If you think we're in danger of missing something, please either mention it at Talk:Evolutionary history of life or add it, with WP:RS of course. -- Philcha (talk) 13:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'll do the lead when I'm happy with the main content. I'll probably have to revise the content a few times, as it's such a huge topic - right now I'm trying to find the best way to summarise multicellularity, which is very complex on its own. -- Philcha (talk) 10:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, Sushant, I'll have to undo your grouping of the diversification of eucaryotes section with three domain system. I know where I'm going with the article. The problem is that it's such a huge topic that there's little room for background material. You should regard anythng below the sections I've produced as obsolete, retained only so I can cannibalise them. I'm sorry if that sound harsh, but I've had to be equally harsh with my own writing - User:Philcha/Sandbox/LUCA contains big section I wrote then removed becuase it's too big and does not stick closely to the main subject - "evolutionary history" = history (narrative, mainly the big events) from an evolutionary point of view.


 * The whole thing is so complex that for now it's best if it's controlled by one person. The "GA" version was poorly structured and looked like a horse designed by a committee - a camel (old UK joke, I don't know if it's well-known among Indians).


 * On the other hand if you want to comment at Talk:Evolutionary history of life, I'd be happy know your opinions and ideas. -- Philcha (talk) 12:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * To give you an example of how much the article needs to be compressed, compare the recent section "Earliest evidence for life on Earth" with the older section "Early signs of life". The newer section is more accurate and up-to-date as well, as it's written by 2 people who have done quite a lot of work on Cambrian and pre-Cambrian paleontology subjects (see (WP:CEX) -- Philcha (talk) 12:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Sushant, I just looked at the last version of the article before I started editing and found no section called "Geology". There was a section "Major geological extinction events", which started with a huge mistake - its first subsection was "Cambrian explosion", which was certainly not an extinction.
 * Re geology generally, rhere's now a timeline at the top which I will complete by adding important events, and I'll probably add at least one more to cover in more detail events from the Ediacaran to the present. -- Philcha (talk) 15:32, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vlcsnap-8635857.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Thank you for uploading File:Photo 77.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Vlcsnap-5984376.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Vlcsnap-5984376.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Space reorganization
Hello WikiProject Space member! A discussion has been started regarding the future of WikiProject Space here; any comments you might have would be welcome! There are mainly two competing ideas:


 * 1) Centralize all the Space-related WikiProjects, such as Astronomy and Spaceflight, and merge them into WikiProject Space, or
 * 2) Separate the Astronomy and Spaceflight "sides" of WikiProject, and remove WikiProject Space.

If you can think of other options, that's great too. Your contribution to the discussion would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

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.

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:35, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:24, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive
{| |}

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:


 * This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
 * Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
 * The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
 * An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

GAN March 2014 Backlog Drive
The March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on April 1, 2014! Sent by Dom497 on behalf of MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor
