July 2010
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on User talk:99.236.125.59. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''Removal of a warning template means the user has read the template, please do not edit war by adding the template again once the user has read it. ''  Random Time  17:49, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Utkarsh..thanks on that and i appreciate it. i invite you to take a look at my other articles Namadhari naik, John Faithfull Fleet, Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency..cheers Tej smiles (talk) 17:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Indian with POV
The person from Tamil Nadu who keeps tagging Swarnavalli Mutt for deletion is obviously the same one who tagged Ramachandrapura Math for deletion. I wondered if they might be the same person as who has been tagging Prithviraj Chauhan. SInce the mutt/math taggings are from a different address each time, there is little we can do except watch and revert. &mdash; RHaworth 10:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Formatting names of songs and names of films
Thanks for the huge amount of work you did on this revision of [|Kishore Kumar] back in July 2007. That really helped make the article more comprehensive. However, both song names and film names were put in italics. I've been making some changes to that. Quotation marks should be used for the names of songs (and also for articles, chapters), while italics should be used for the names of films (and also books, newspapers, magazines). I haven't yet been able to reformat all the italicized song names so that they are in quotation marks, but I've made a start. 99.141.65.144 (talk) 13:13, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Rajput
I should have some free time after mid-August. Would you like me to help with cleaning up the Rajput Article Gorkhali (talk) 02:27, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * All the articles in Category:Indian caste system have been on my cleanup list since past few years. But, I've almost given up on them, since every time some caste supremacist comes along and turns a neutral article into an ethnic glorification piece. I'd love to help with whatever I can, though :-) utcursch | talk 08:38, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I know exactly what you mean, it seems many times that some folks come on here to toot their horn at how great they are. I'll try and help once my schedule eases up a bit to clean up the article and also review the listed references and see where the source material is really coming from.

image removed from Rajput
What is wrong with image File:Rajlogo.jpg which removed from Rajput? User:Diannaa corrected citation earlier which was quite okay. This image is there for last six year without any dispute at home page at one of the oldest and leading Rajput discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rajputworld with image source reference http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/12125144/homepage/name/homepage.jpg?type=sn. This Rajput article was once wrestling battle with many vandalism editing which you User:Diannaa User:Utcursch succeeded in crafting it at quite good level. I am placing it back.--Mcbapu (talk) 04:55, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The image is not an official symbol. The Roman script is especially misleading. utcursch | talk 15:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Mcbapu implies that I am in favour of keeping the image when actually I am not. I have started a discussion on the Rajput talk page. Regards, -- Diannaa (Talk) 03:26, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Great work on NCERT index
Hi Utcursch, didn't find another way of contacting you. Just wanted to say great work on the NCERT index! I did something similar for the Virtual University of Pakistan video courses: http://reganmian.net/blog/2010/05/21/the-virtual-university-of-pakistan-has-6000-hours-of-video-lectures-on-youtube/

 * Thanks and wow! I didn't know about Virtual University's videos! utcursch | talk 11:00, 29 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Seconded. Came across this from Twitter a few days back and went through. Great job! :-) Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 13:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it's quite useless now that the NCERT textbook page is down. I'm trying to create a list of other textbook websites at the ICTD Asia Wiki. utcursch | talk 19:18, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Where is the source of your claim that it's official name?  Coercorash Talk Contr. 18:34, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Government press releases. Also, Google Sakshat vs Saakshaat laptop/tablet. By the way, there is no one "right spelling" of Indic words as per pronunciation: the spellings differ according to the Devanagari transliteration scheme used. utcursch | talk 20:23, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Utkarsh, I am looking for some delhi based Wikipedians for an upcoming meet, I was wondering if you are located in Delhi or knew anyone who is a delhi based wikimedian. The foundation is planning to have meetings in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi with local wikimedians, let me know if you want to join in.--Theo10011 (talk) 13:10, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

User:Ppwrong
Hi friend. I need your urgent help with. He keeps adding incorrect information and keeps edit warring. He confuses the Indian National Film Awards with the Rashtrapati Award, loading the Best Actor/Actress pages with false and unsourced names. I asked him to cite sources but all he does is citing Wikipedia pages, keeping his reverts, and above all, using personal attacks, calling me a racist for no reason and using capitals. He also simultaneously uses an IP account - to add his false data. His edit summaries contain incorrect statements. The user was warned in the past for other disruptive edits and his IP has already been blocked.

In more detail, the user adds a separate section to the best actor/actress pages, calling it "Rashtrapati Award", while Rashtrapati is an individual award which is still presented annually to this day. When I asked him to cite sources, he cited Wikipedia pages which themselves have no sources for these claims. I reverted him and was instantly reverted. He says "before 1968 that is from 1954 National Awards for films were given under Rashtrapati award by the Directorate of Dramatic Arts" - it is completely incorrect, since there's no such thing as Directorate of Dramatic Arts! I started a talk page discussion but I'm sure he will not adhere to the rules. Request your help. Shahid •  Talk 2 me  19:22, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The user is also creating sock puppets. Full report against him here. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  21:39, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hey Utcursch,

I met you at the Wiki Mumbai meet the other day. I wanted to ask you a few more questions about your contribution and the wiki community for a story I am working on. I've sent you a few questions but just read that you are on vacation. Can you please tell me when you'd be able to respond?

Hope I haven't broken any wikiquette rules by posting here.

Delete Talk:England at the Commonwealth Games?
Hi Utcursch, thanks for performing the page move. Just wondering, should Talk:England at the Commonwealth Games be deleted since the contents have been moved to Talk:England at the Commonwealth Games? A NG C HENRUI Talk♨ 09:42, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Talk:England at the Commonwealth Games seems to have a notice, which can be kept for records. utcursch | talk 09:56, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm referring to Talk:Commonwealth Games England, not Talk:England at the Commonwealth Games. The automatic redirecting can be irritating. Thanks, A NG C HENRUI Talk♨ 10:16, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, OK. Done. utcursch | talk 10:39, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Persistent IP vandal (User:198.109.184.200 )
I don't know if it's back to school (and school computer) time, but a persistently vandalizing IP (registered to the Unionville-Sebewaing Area Schools) which you blocked for three months last March has returned to the same kind of thing again. See: User talk:198.109.184.200. Browsing lightly over contributions from this IP over the years, I fail to catch any constructive edits. —— Shakescene (talk) 05:03, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Will keep an eye and block it again if the vandalism persists. You can also file a report at WP:AIV. utcursch | talk 07:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
