My Goals

 * Kristine here. My goal is how to learn Wikipedia in a suitable fashion. If categories are inappropriate for me to use; I will ask you about them. Venustar84 (talk) 04:09, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Keep on watchlist
If you are active, please keep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Jadavpur_University_protests in your watchlist. Obviously it's going to get a lot of ip and new editor edits.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:41, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Done, watchlisted, using android. Tito ☸ Dutta 15:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Nobility question
I already proded Meenakshi Shedde and it was removed. I really can't find anything about her. Can you find something? Bgwhite (talk) 05:26, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Take it to AFD after checking these, if you have not done already. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 06:40, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Disclaimer 24 September 2014
From today I'll contact few websites and some people, I'll ask them to create/modify articles on Wikipedia for me. My identity may or may not be fake in these emails. Actually I am trying to trace a group of problematic editors and IPs. I am trying to learn from where they are coming and how this is working in Wikipedia that is affecting many articles. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 16:07, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Which type of articles? Is there a list of any such articles which are affected by this type of problematic users? Sounds interesting. Keep doing. Ping me if any assistance is needed.

Request
Hello Titodutta! Shubho Durga Pujo first of all! I had a request...don't you think that like Template:IPAc-en there should be a similar template for Hindi, Urdu and Bengali. You know when this is used on a page and the mouse is hovered over the pronunciation it shows suahc as "a as in about". For instance you can just visit Taj Mahal. Don't you think we should have on for Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu) and also for Bengali which may be named "Template:IPAc-hi/Template:IPAc-ur/Template:IPAc-hns" and "Template:IPAc-bn"? -- Tamra vidhir (talk) 09:47, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * We already have Template:IPA-hns and Template:IPA-bn. -- Tamra vidhir (talk) 09:50, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

please look at my page and let me know if it's "ready"
I am a college administrator for UC Berkeley. Please let me know if the page for alumni Jeremy Bamidele is in order and ready to go.Orujah123 (talk) 02:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

RefScript
Hello again my friend!

I created the webpage you asked, where you can simply drag the reference creation script into the bookmark toolbar, no more installation steps required. This is the web page: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46152682/RefScript.htm

Hopefully more people will use the script now. I should have done it sooner. Thanks a lot for your suggestion! —  Ark25  (talk) 03:08, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It was good, now the bookmark link stopped working, I'll check again. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 06:27, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Tyagi - A Subcast of Indian Brahmins
Could you or take a look at this. It is an unsourced caste article. I'd rather shoot myself in the head than get involved with caste articles and the misery that comes with it. With Sitush out, you and Vin are it. Bgwhite (talk) 03:45, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It may be a sub-caste of Brahmin. I have not got time to check more. I need go soon for a journey -- Tito ☸ Dutta 06:26, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
 * This site may provide some reference, I have very little knowledge on religious things.
 * Congrats Tito. Nice to see you goto the conference.  You are certainly one who should go.  Too bad they didn't invite Sitush.  Hopefully you can goto Mexico City this Summer.  Boy, if some low-life like Tito can do this,  and I will certainly be in charge of Wikipedia in no time. Bgwhite (talk) 20:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC)


 * He. He. :-D User:Ijon invited me. Exactly what you told - Sitush' our father in wiki-experience should have attended here. He is a Brit and has several physical issues, so he could not attend London Wikimania as well. Most probably he has not been invited either. I don't know about it. Here I am facing some sleeping problem. We have a meeting here today, let's see how it goes. As a matter of fact, I want to see you too joining such conferences in India. I am aware, for thr physical disease you may need your wife's support. You and I could make a special request because of "unavoidable problem" or something so. I am missing your presence badly here. Oh, what a miss. --123.63.85.165 (talk) 01:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC) It is me, forgot to sign in. 123.63.85.165 (talk) 01:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * These 123.63.. . were my edits. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 22:30, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

You must be back. How was the conference? Bgwhite (talk) 23:05, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

busybody: I'm completely ignorant on caste matters, but considering the situation at caste articles, and with Sitush gone, I really don't think Wikipedia can entertain a completely unsourced article at all. A tag is not enough. A google of the term Tyagi took me to our Muslim Tyagi article, which seems a reasonable target and I've redirected Tyagi - A Subcast of Indian Brahmins accordingly. If some of the material in it can be actually moved to the target article (which I personally doubt, since the target is fuller and more academic), let the author add references and do so. Bishonen &#124; talk 23:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC).
 * Well done @ Bishonen. A very good and correct example of WP:BOLD -- Tito ☸ Dutta 23:25, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Btw, Bgwhite, weren't you forgetting Joshua Jonathan? Also don't shoot yourself in the head yet, Wikipedia needs you. Bishonen &#124; talk 23:35, 6 October 2014 (UTC).
 * Yup, I forgot about Joshua. I'm so used to going to Sitush.  I called Sitush my wiki dad.  He was always giving me sage advice and when I was taken to ANI for some bogus reason, Sitush always had a thread just before mine.  Like father, like son.  Of course, with as many times Sitush was being hauled before ANI, half of all regular editors would be his son or daughter.   is my wiki wife... always nagging me to do something. :)  Tito, I removed part of my comment above and your response as you didn't like it.  Bgwhite (talk) 23:56, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Organizing on-wiki India community in En WP has been tagged as an important but difficult task User:Titodutta/Condensed proposed roadmap for Wikimedia work in India. WMF and WMIN are open to help. Question is who will do and how? We spent many hours discussing WP India's issues. I was thinking if we could do something similar for Indic Ghetos like Caste, religion, politics. Again who will do? -- Tito ☸ Dutta 00:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh joy, caste-matters! Look slike we're all looking for an excuse to stay out.... I'll have a look.  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   07:19, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, a redirect! Good idea. Much better.  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   07:23, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I just read through this and your travel caught my attention, I am traveling to Bangalore this Friday night! (I first wrote and wrote thinking it is this weekend and figured out it was the last one!) Do you think I can be put to some use? I am active only on English Wikipedia (but plan to move to Hindi, and Sanskrit, I can speak and understand Bengali, and Marathi also). I have good subject knowledge in Hindi literature (old, new, and poems too). I went through the India Community Consultation 2014 article page and its talk page and I think it will have some more info shortly... there is a lot of info there... Can I edit your "Condensed roadmap..." page? I was involved with Project Gutenberg digitisation project also and have worked with OCR (barely working), TTS (mostly poor), spell checker(quite okay these days) for Hindi. The intent is "I am interested and willing to get involved" and would greatly appreciate individual guidance to make the most of my ability. Thank you. Smile-tpvgames.gif --AmritasyaPutra T 10:42, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * User:AmritasyaPutra, I have already told several times, I was not happy with the number of participants from En WP. Unfortunate enough, even I was invited long after the "last date of nomination", I had only few hours in hand to accept/reject it. I'll start making a list of enthusiast soon. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 07:28, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No one even asked me >.<  Jim Car ter  11:22, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism
When reverting obvious vandalism, please don't note it as, " Reverted 1 good faith edit by xxx..." If it's vandalism, call it vandalism... Thank you very much... GWFrog (talk) 18:12, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Welcome to my talk page. Please mention the article or the edit diff. BTW, those are WP:STiki edit summary, I don't change those unless I have really something to add t clarify the reason of the reversion.  -- Tito ☸ Dutta 18:38, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh ya, marking vandalis as AGF may be an issue, but, it is difficult to identify al edits in a small reviewing window like the one Stiki offers. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 18:40, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you
THank you for the Barnstar. I really appreciate it! Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!   07:16, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

The pitfalls of templated messages
Interestingly, while you removed a line from the welcoming message to the user, I removed a line from the templated copyvio warning, which I thought was overly-aggressive and premature in this case. Given that the user was properly citing a reliable source for her addition, I think her error was just due to unfamiliarity with the wikipedia standards and requirements. Hope she'll not be driven away by the revert and messages, and will stick around to edit. Anyway, glad to see you around. Hope you are doing well. Cheers.

 * Ah, hi, seeing you after a long time after those Eknath Ranade articles. How are you doing?BTW, you may see User:Titodutta/Condensed proposed roadmap for Wikimedia work in India -- Tito ☸ Dutta 03:18, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * If that user is really this person, then it is "she". That Facebook user did accept my FB friend request, but does Ffantastic graphic designing work, such as this. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 03:21, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the correction.
 * Doing fine. Don't expect to be too active on wikipedia at the moment but checking my watchlist a couple of times a day and clicking what happens to catch the eye. :)
 * Will browse through the roadmap. Quick note: the text below the "Stop" and "Continue" tags needs to be interchanged.
 * Why haven't you run for admin yet ?! Ping me, if you ever do, even if I am in one of my inactive phases! Abecedare (talk) 03:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Actually those first two lines are my additions. I have copied other portion from here. It was edited by many editors during conference. I did not want to link that page there as it can be edited by anyone. It is not clear to me whether you can edit that Etherpad or not, but no one will stop good edit, I think. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 03:52, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Seen administrator noticeboard. You should go for RFA. I have read what happened to you here. No one should bother about it, because you have learned a lot. You had nominated some(or at least 1) users for adminship before and received success. Good amount of article creation as well as anti vandal reverts. You are a good candidate. Bladesmulti (talk) 12:58, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Your message to me on meta
Hey there! I saw your message on meta about assisting with our grant to develop and pilot the Co-op. Thanks for letting me know. (By the way, I also don't check Meta too often, so you're always better off getting in touch with me on en.wiki.) Can I ask in what way you were interested in helping out with our IEG? I, JethroBT drop me a line 23:29, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * User:I JethroBT, I saw your edit at your Meta sub-page. Anyway, I have been working in editor retention, editor engagement for a long time. Even now, I have been participating in a discussion, that is related to "editor's frustration". The project might be helpful. (if you want to check my contribs, I have added a "toolbox" in my userpage, you can check quickly from tere)-- Tito ☸ Dutta 23:42, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was checking that discussion out. Were you interested in helping to mentor editors during our pilot?  If so, you can let us know here.  I, JethroBT  drop me a line 03:49, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Want some urgent help
Hello, Titodutta! I actually don't know what do? Child Labour: A Review in the Context of Nepal has been nominated for deletion at Afd. But a Hindi version of the article has been created on the Hindi Wikipedia and a link to it has been recently added in the section "external links". I can write, read and speak Hindi but don't know how to work on the Hindi Wikipedia. I also don't know how to nominate it for deletion there. Please, could you help me? (P.S. - Your talk page is in my watchlist, but even then just ping me. Thank you!) -- Tamra vidhir  (talk!) 05:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I was just replying to it. -- Tito ☸ Dutta 05:07, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
