Proposed deletion of Jaswinder Bhalla


The article Jaswinder Bhalla has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * New BLP, sourced only to the subject's website; notability therefore unclear

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

About Golden Bails Award and Bronze Bails Award
Hi Vigyani!


 * I think I started both articles. The merge is fine by me.  I think the article should now be moved to ICC Umpire Awards or something along those lines, as the "Golden Bails" is one of three awards the ICC makes to umpires.


 * On a related note, I've tried to find anything about the second-tier "Silver Bails Award" in reliable references, and completely failed.

Your thoughts about these matters? Peter aka "World's worst right-arm leg-spinner" aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:35, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

yeah.. moving the article is ICC Umpire Awards is better. Infact I was also thinking to do so. But I thought to do some research and find out what other umpiring awards exist, before making such article. So for time being I let the article be kept named as Golden Bails Award. I will try to find out if any umpire has got Silver Award. Vigyani (talk) 10:06, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

I have recently joined wikipedia in Punjabi language and I saw that lot of Wikipedia rules related articles have so far written, which indicates that there not many active editors on that Punjabi Wikipedia. As a new user on pb.wikipedia.org, can I create those articles. Vigyani (talk) 05:01, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to create as many articles on the pb.wikipedia as long as they meet the notability guidelines on the pb.wikipedia. Some of the English Wikipedia guidelines will be different than that of the Punjabi one. Mkdw talk 06:51, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Indic scripts
Hi, please can you try to avoid adding Indic scripts, such as Punjabi, to articles on English Wikipedia. There is a consensus that they generally cause problems - see WP:INDICSCRIPT. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 12:56, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * yeah sure.. I was not aware of this. But then Hindi is okay? And I saw regional script used in many articles .--Vigyani (talk) 14:07, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Hindi is not ok, nor Devangari or any other Indic script. There is an exception of sorts for films, if I remember correctly, and there is uncertainty regarding placenames but the safe bet is not to add the stuff. Although the guidance has been around for some time, there are of course many articles that already contained scripts and have not been cleaned up. I don't think anyone is in a particular rush to do so - things just get fixed as and when they are noticed. Hope this helps. - Sitush (talk) 14:15, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Punjab Legislative Assembly, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Gsingh (talk) 11:20, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I just checked and saw that i had made 3 links to same article. I was not aware about over linking --Vigyani (talk) 11:28, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem, I figured you probably didn't know. Also, please don't add anyone who wasn't royalty before 1971 to that category. It is for historical use. No person who "succeeded" after 1971 is considered royalty, they are termed pretenders, this would include Amarinder Singh and others "inherited" their predecessors throne after 1971. Gsingh (talk) 11:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * hmmm--Vigyani (talk) 11:33, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * please read pretender, pretty much explains what I'm trying to say. All Indian monarchies were abolished when they decided to accede to India from 1947-49, except Sikkim which did so in the 70s. And any payments from the government stopped in 71' with the passage of the 26th amendment, which I'm sure you know already. But good job on improving all these articles! Gsingh (talk) 11:39, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * thanks for the info. I understood your point earlier also. I was aware that Capt. Amarinder was listed as pretenders, but I didn't know it was different from Roylity.

It's very difficult - in this case the article had been substantially changed at the second attempt, but it was still inappropriate. I did block someone recently for recreating the same page repeatedly, but other than that it's difficult to stop them. In many cases, I believe such users don't have much English and don't even understand the warnings. Deb (talk) 10:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

TechArmy
Hi Vigyani,

I thank you for your response. There were multiple reasons and objections behind deletion of TechArmy. This included advertising, promotion, vandalism and also related to repeated creation. Some of them were raised by you. I removed all objections related to advertising, promotion and vandalism - rasied by you.

Also, disruptive editing was not intentional but only an outcome of repeated changes (in lesser time). I would like to re-instate the page with your support and also through administrator. Kindly provide some pointers or let me know how to proceed. This page only contains section that can be classified as corporate information regarding 'TechArmy', a software company that was registered in Gurgaon, India. It has closed operations since 30-March-2012. This information is mostly a search term for many people and hence is very relevant matter for search engines, encyclopedias and wikis. Please clarify and provide the right direction ahead.

Thanks, Sumith. Sumith Puri


 * Hi.. Sumith. Thanks for the message. In this case of TechArmy, I believe you were the founder of that company. So as a rule you can not write an article on TechArmy due to obvious conflict of interest. We also do not write or edit articles about the organisations we work in. Also apart from the reasons of advertising or promotion, there should be enough notability for the company or say, company should be famous enough. If the company "TechArmy" is actually famous, I believe someone else will create an article about it. If I search about TechArmy in google, it shows some organization in USA and if I add Gurgaon, then I get result about your company, which in my point of view are not enough notable. However different editor have different view. But all in all, since you were the founder of that company, you can not in any capacity take part in the article about TechArmy (even if someone else creates it).  New editors like you are always welcomed and are an important assets for wikipedia. I suggest you give your valuable time to lots of other article of your interest.
 * Regarding disruptive editing, what you were doing was removing the "speedy deletion tag". Only an admin of wikipedia can not remove that tag. Even once placed, I also can not remove the tag, as I am just an editor like you and not an admin. You can improve the article, but not remove the tag.
 * I hope I answer your questions and sincerely hope that you keep on contributing to wikipedia. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. --Vigyani (talk) 09:38, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Pages in foreign languages
Hi. Thanks for patrolling new pages, but "not English" is not a valid reason for speedy deletion (see WP:CSD, a list which is worth reading). Sometimes (though not often) a page in another language is worth translating, and there is a page at WP:PNT where possibles can be listed. Often, as with Nixe man just now, it's clear than a speedy criterion like db-band applies. Google translate will often tell you the language, if you don't know it, and may provide enough of a translation to decide whether a speedy is appropriate. The way to deal with foreign articles is explained at WP:NPP. Also, there is a useful set of templates, many of them bilingual like contrib-fr1, listed at WP:PNT/T, which can be used to point the foreign contributor to his home Wikipedia.

Speedy Deletion of Dr.Uday Krishna Myneni
Hi Vigyani,

I've come to the notice that you've been objecting the creation of article called 'Dr.Uday Krishna Myneni'. It shows : '''This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Note that this applies to an article about the person him/herself, not about his/her books, albums, software, etc. See CSD A7.'''

It would be a great help if you provide me the points that conflict this particular article to be a legal and objection-free wikipedia article. I shall correct them as soon as possible.

Thank you

Re aboriginal centre for the performing arts
Dear sir / madam,

This a non profit government sponsored educational instrument just like any other on Wikipedia. This is no different to any other arts school in Australia except this is for aboriginal people. If this is deleted then so must every university and arts college. Please justify......

Dear Djagavfonmrd, yes I understand that ACPA is a not profit organisation. But despite that the way you have written the article, it appears as promotional. Please understand that not all promotion is for profit. You may not want to make any profit, but you are still you are promoting ACPA. You may be doing it with a good intention but please understand that wikipedia articles are to be written in a neutral way. I will suggest you to read WP:NOTPROMOTION. --Vigyani (talk) 07:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Dear sir. - many thanks for the reply is there any way that someone could edit. What I have written and see what it is they object to? I used the western Australian academy of perfroming arts as a template and there is. Nothing here which makes any more claims than they do. This is to represent the underprivileged.

Out you put it back up if possible and change what you object to???

Re Guarantor Loan
Hi Vigyani,

I replied on the article discussion page for Guarantor loan, but thought I'd also reply here.

The article created today covers a distinct, standalone market in the UK finance industry, Unsecured Guarantor Loans. I actually think it's worth editing the article title to "unsecured guarantor loan", to make that clear.

The Loan guarantee covers the subject of the act of guaranteeing agreements (mortgages, which are secured loans), but not the unsecured guarantor loan industry, which is totally separate, regulated by a different regulatory body (OFT, not FSA)

I strongly feel that the subject is very different to the loan guarantee article.

Seanharger Block
Hi. I noticed that on two occasions, you expressed disapproval of the block of the user Seanharger. My main point is that he absolutley had reasons to be blocked, it's not an out-of-the-blue thing. Here are some things to consider:
 * 1. He had been gently reminded before about personal attacks, and indeed gently warned.
 * 2. Sockpuppettry is always a big no-no, no matter what (even if it is just logging out, but it still counts).
 * 3. It wasn't me who even requested a block in the first place. The user Alex2564 actually gave the AIV report of Sean and he ended up blocked. However, I had questions about a report to ANI or AIV, too, due to his behavior.
 * 4. Majority of his personal attacks were on talk pages [especially his], so losing his own talk page is another step to prevent him from attacking someone.
 * 5. It may have been harsh, but he did some harsh things, and was harsh himself, so having some humor like that is OK, its not a P.A.

I can bring up an ANI discussion/community vote about what others think. I'll get an admin to start something up (like a vote) to see if the community supports or does not support an indef block of him. Cheers! WorldTraveller101Did I mess up? 10:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You didn't need to reply me here. You could have just mentioned at admin's talk page. I have only disapproved at one occasion. I can not see your gentle warning (please provide link if you have done). I can only see 'I must let you know that you will not be spending a single second of your life editing Wikipedia ever again'. Does even getting blocked once means that person should not edit WP again? Talk page is blocked only if the abuse continues. But that user has not edited even once after getting blocked. Whatever you call humour is certainly not humour. That way, he could also pass his statements as humour. --Vigyani (talk) 10:17, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not the only person to make this statement (first of all).

Speedy deletion declined: Sewersam
Hello Vigyani, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sewersam, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Legoktm (talk) 00:42, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello Legoktm, I did a google search about the Sewersam and couln't find any sources to verify the information. So I nominated it for deletion. Since it is a possible new piece of software and I was not sure if any of the standard templates apply so I used a custom template. Is it only declined because of the nomination criteria or you think it is notable enough. I have been patrolling pages for about more then a month and I have observed that sometime admin while deleting the page add additional criteria or use a related different criteria. Yesterday also this page had appeared under the name SewerSAM, and was nominated (by me) for G11 as the tone was promotional. Today it was not promotional, so I did google search to verify. Also note that the main editor of the article may have a COI. Btw congrats for a successful RfA :). -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 01:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Counting systems
You really did open my eyes with the "12 on one hand" explanation for counting and I am very grateful for that. Working on the same principle, that means someone can count to 60 using two hands: one to get to 12 and then the other to count the 12's five times over. It is genius and, oddly, fits in with the old-style British currency system. Of course, 12-counting gives more divisors (therefore, arguably more "useful") than decimal counting and this still now occasionally is an issue raised in the UK regarding the change of currency made here in the early 1970s. I just wonder if the system you mention originated back in the days of the Raj. Regardless, it is fascinating to an idiot like me and I am already telling everyone I know about it. Thanks very much. - Sitush (talk) 00:50, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * wow.. thats great, I never wondered about its history. May I should also tell about this discussion to few persons I know . :p -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  00:53, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Whoops, working on the same principle could get you much higher than 60, but it would involve some more detailed mental arithmetic. You could do the 12 on one hand and then start over, ticking off metacarpal etc on the other ... but you'd have to think a bit more. What would that give? 144 + the "spare" thumb = 156? My brain is frying up! - Sitush (talk) 00:55, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * a quick thought, is there any remote possibility that 12 hours system has anything to do with it. We have two hands and a day is divided in 2 parts of 12 hours. And your above mentioned 60 indicates toward a possible connection with 60 minutes ?? -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 00:58, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

 * The old British system (which existed well within my lifetime) is explained here. The Raj was generally not A Good Thing, obviously, but you'll be well-aware that the legacies remain and, surely, at least one of them must be good! Your mention of time also could be relevant. We Brits had a quite bizarre series of measurements (think of cricket pitches and 22 yards being a "chain") but I am really very ignorant about the subject. I am going to raise this with the Great and the Good and see if anyone knows any more, if that is ok with you? You could end up with quite a few responses here and little orange notices popping up like bullets. - Sitush (talk) 01:09, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * no problem... I will appreciate it. Anyway my talk page is very less used talk page as compared to editor with similar WP experience as me. So few message per day will be good :).

Speedy deletion of 5 paragraph essay
You tagged 5 paragraph essay for speedy deletion using the rationale: "No connection of title with content, and content is not worthy of WP". Please remember that the criteria for speedy deletion are fairly narrowly defined, and this is not one of them. Clearly, this article is not appropriate for Wikipedia, but nomination under the wrong rationale could delay or prevent its deletion (some admins are sticklers for these things). One might argue that the page is a test page, but one must find a valid criterion for speedy, or else choose to PROD the article instead. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for the message. It does not appear to be test page, so G2 is not applicable and neither other standard sections. But since article is rather a personal essay or more like some random thoughts of some school kid. So I used a custom message. Maybe PROD could be a better option, but I thought it is clearly inappropriate so why to go through longer PROD process. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 15:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I actually believe it was an attempt by a school student to post his school assignment ("Your assignment is to write a 5 paragraph essay") on Wikipedia.

Quick Question
Recently, I noticed that IP 63.92.242.185 is an IP that Jonathan Yip used. However, it has been making constructive edits to airport articles, such as John F. Kennedy International Airport. Does his edits stay as is, or do they need to be reverted and re-added by a non-affiliated user? I'm just wondering, because at WP:BAN, it says all must be reverted, but I don't want to get too involved with the reverts? Thanks, Vigyani. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 01:22, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Per WP:BAN, a banned user should not edit even from IP. But a very clear proof is need that a given IP belongs to a banned user. Usually many editors have divided opinion on these matters. However the policy is to block such IP's. But I do not think that edits will be reverted if they are constructive. Moreover there is difference between a block and ban. In case of a block, editor can not edit anything (and can be from 24 hours to indefinite). In case of banned, user is restricted from certain topics. For example one may be banned from editing article related to say Christianity, but he will be certainly allowed to edit article about say Islam. In the present case, if you are sure that IP belongs to Yip, then I think best course will be to inform AS, and if he agrees he should file a SPI. In such cases, I just keep a close watch, check all the edits and take action only if there is un-costructive edits. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 01:36, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Nope.The IP has been confirmed as one Jonathan YIP used. JY is site-banned indefinitley. Hope this info helps. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 11:43, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * after replying you, I read Yip's sock investigation and found that this IP was blocked as Yip's IP for 6 months. Now if the block is lifted from this IP, there must be some reason. Probably it is assumed that after say a 6 month period, the IP may not belong to Yip. I suggest you to ask this question to an admin. But mention that you are asking only out of curiosity and you do not have any intention to pursue this. Even if it is proved that this is Yip again, I strongly advise you not to take any action and just leave it.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 12:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm going to leave it at KoH's talk. Thanks, Vigyani. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 14:12, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a confirmed sock and per WP:BAN, all edits, except for vandalism reversions and mechanics (spelling & grammar) corrections should be reverted (see the thread). Thanks. WorldTraveller101(Trouble?/My Work) 18:52, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Dru yoga
Hello Vigyani. Working on the Dutch equivalent of Dru yoga, on which I've got my hands full (of sorts), I noted the article over here. And the fact you nominated it for speedy deletion. It wasn't much to begin with and it's getting worse. Just wanted to let you know. Regards, Sander1453 (talk) 11:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, Thanks for the message. I had nominated Dru yoga for speedy deletion during my NewPagePetrol (NPP), in which several New Page Patroller, check the freshly created pages for obvious errors. Since this article when created had only one line and that also did not put much light on Dru Yoga, so I nominated it for deletion. I myself does not have any idea about Dru Yoga. I nominate several articles, sometime 20 articles for deletion in a day, and I do not usually keep a track of the article, after decision about speedy deletion is taken. But do not worry, thats how WP works, sometime a new page stays poor for a long period of time, before someone really pay attention and make it good.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 13:04, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the answer. Usually I don't do NewPages, but I do patrol Recent Changes on the Dutch WP. Occasionally I take part in discussions about deletion (normal speed - 14 days discussion time). Nominated for speedy deletion once or twice (speedy=handled by sysop, may take 10 mins to an hour). Btw, the article's not just poor, it's biased. Someone thinks it's a vehicle for discrediting the organisation behind Dru yoga. Sander1453 (talk) 23:50, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

 * How does it matter to me, which is more famous? In case of Aishwarya, probably I don't need to revert your edit, as the article is already titled with that name i.e. with Bachchan surname. In case of Abhishek, the statement you are adding is unsourced. Kindly read WP:POV.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 13:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

The page is titled Aishwarya Rai. Dear Vigyani, yourself being a woman, why are you being so supposrtive of such things. Wikipedia is full of sentences without proofs. In fact, it does not require a proof that Aishwarya Rai is known worldwide, unlike Abhishek. Although social websites are not the only proofs, but if you simply try checking them out, Aishwarya has more foreign fan following than Indians, while Abhishek even hardly has such a page! Dear Vigyani, just let the truth be, without thinking whether which truth is required and which not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aish.ego (talk • contribs) 13:39, 11 June 2013 (UTC)


 * See the page title is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. It is bit amusing to me, and I will like to know, how do you know that I am woman. Plus how does it matter whether I am woman or man. We edit WP based upon facts, not our gender. WP needs proof for everything. If there is some statement, which is there without proof, it can be removed. I know that Aishwariya is very famous, much more then Abhishek, no doubt about that. But as I previously mention, the statement you adding is unsourced and not from a neutral point of view. And to show also that Ashwariya is very famous it needs proofs, which are anyhow already present. Also pages on social networking websites are not considered reliable source on WP. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 13:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi, I did not had problem with your edit as such. So no need to talk about references. But other editors may have problem with your latest edits, so someone could revert those changes. What I want is to you to pay attention to WP:NPA and WP:NPOV. Please read these two articles.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 11:18, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah sure... will sort of read them..Hey tell me what problem can one have wid dez edits now?? aish.ego (talk) 11:23, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, please read those carefully if you are really interested in continuing on Wikipedia. It is for your own good. Also please WP:AGF. I know it may be bit of work for you but please read them. Maybe first just read the introduction of each article. That won't take much time. Now about your edit. You have mentioned that Abhishek is not considered a successful actor and cited a blog. Before you think that blog is on timesofindia website, a blog is blog and rarely used as a source. In the present case it is more like a opinion of the author and there also the very first line of the blog does not support your edit. The author of the blog terms him as successful but underachiever. Now I have paid more attention to your this edit, so I think myself will go ahead and revert it. So if want to change it or want to added some other reference, you do it soon.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 11:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Allegation of Mumbai Attack
Hi Vigyani, i noticed that you deleted my contribution for citing the allegation of involvement of Indian Government involvement in commanding the attack and killing of innocent people. i provided the source from Indian daily newspaper "Times of India". Can you please advice what was wrong in my contribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ali aff (talk • contribs) 07:47, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi, your edit has two aspects.
 * 1) The TOI references says "a former home ministry officer has alleged that a member of the CBI-SIT team had accused incumbent governments of "orchestrating" the terror attack on Parliament and the 26/11 carnage in Mumbai" So it is A alleging that B had accused. Usually allegations are not to be included in the article until they received a wide spread media coverage. Which is not the case. Plus it is an allegation about allegation. Which makes it more like a fringe theory.
 * 2) You had something about Indian government propaganda which I fail to see in the reference.
 * Now, if you came here to discuss with me then you should have not gone on article and made that change your self again. This is called edit warring WP:EW, and is not permitted. The best course for you is to open a thread at talk page of the article and present your point of view there. Other concerned editors will also pitch in and a consensus can be formed about what to keep and what no to.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 07:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale
" The evidence shows that the Sikhs satisfy these tests. They are more than a religious sect, they are almost a race and almost a nation. As a race, the Sikhs share a common colour, and a common physique based on common ancestors from that part of the Punjab which is centred on Amritsar. They fail to qualify as a separate race because in racial origin prior to the inception of Sikhism they cannot be distinguished from other inhabitants of the Punjab. As a nation the Sikhs defeated the Moghuls, and established a kingdom in the Punjab which they lost as a result of the first and second Sikh wars they fail to qualify as a separate nation or as a separate nationality because their kingdom never achieved a sufficient degree of recognition or permanence. The Sikhs qualify as a group defined by ethnic origins because they consitute a separate and distinct community derived from the racial characteristics I have mentioned." Please see these lines in the last paragraph.

According to the House of Lords, though Sikhs qualify the conditions for Race, Nation and Ehtnicity, yet due to circumstances, they can't be called a race or nation/nationality. And only Ethnicity. I hope this shall settle the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by All accounts taken (talk • contribs) 10:28, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Operation Blue Star
Hey Vigyani, fellow editor.

You made some changes to the operation blue star page and removed the following points:


 * Jarnail Singh Bhinderanwale killed.
 * Akal Takht and various other buildings heavily damaged.
 * Military control of the Sikh spiritual and political buildings.
 * Sikh reference library burned by Indian army.
 * Thousands of Sikh pilgrims taken hostage by Indian army and killed.
 * Assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in October.

Do you disagree with any of these points? Jujhar.pannu (talk) 05:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree with using the term Khala in info box. You should not have changed it while doing other changes. That term was changed previously after lot of discussions. But others points you mentioned here also need discussion as the result section also has been point of discussion. So it will be unfair to edit without seeking others opinion.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 05:55, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Which points do you think are not fair, I am awaiting you reply. Jujhar.pannu (talk) 06:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)


 * From the above mentioned points I did not have any specific problem with anyone, but they do represent certain WP:POV. And when some portions of an article are under debate, it is always healthier to first suggest proposed changes at talk page and wait for few days. What, I didn't like was that you made the combatant2 Khalsa from the militants in the same edit. Reply only if you are going to stay civil.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  01:50, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi.

Thanks for your non-controversial clean up of the BKWSU topic.

One small point, it should be Lawrence Babb, not Lawrence Babbs.

If u think putting a statement under the right section is POV let me tell u u r really irritating me now..

New rules in two months?
Hi AB's PA.. the last time i showed u this edit, u very kindly agreed to it, that the statement n the proof just match. So some new arguement u have now for defending n proving that Abhishek Bachchan is the star now in bollywood, n not srk, aamir, salman, akshay, ajay, saif, hritik, blah blah blahhhhh aish.ego (talk) 08:40, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * You said it's not civil!! helo, it's just that while I give words to my actions, u silently irritate me by your actions. So i think u didn't explain to me what I asked. Please do. aish.ego (talk) 08:46, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * As I had mentioned in my previous interaction with you. You need to be civil while talking with other people. Accusing other editors of PA of some subject is personal attack and harassment. I have now issued you a level one warning for personal attack. If you continue like this you may be blocked from editing.
 * When you added that statement two months ago, I didn't oppose it. Not that I agreed with that. But you must have seen that a very experience editor removed that line of yours citing it as "non-encyclopediac". So I only mention that you should discuss with him before re-adding.
 * Now I remind you again to be civil. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 08:49, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't explain to me girl, what being civil is, had i been devoting my time to irritate u, i would have been shot by now. Now I don't know what "agreeing" means in your dictionary, but u kindly said "that's better" on that statement i added. What do you mean by non encyclopedic, aish.ego (talk) 08:54, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Use of capital letters is considered shouting. So please do not shout and read WP:CIVIL. I will discuss about the content only if you agree to be civil. Also do not presume my gender. Find out who removed that line before you re-added and discuss with them or invite them to article talk page. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 09:15, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * ok then i rewrite it in small letters "u want me to research on around ten articles n show u some similar non encyclopedic statement5s??" how to send a link from one talk page to another?? i want to show u what uncivilised comment means aish.ego (talk) 09:40, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If you think that there is non encyclopedic content in any article, then please go ahead and remove it. To send a link to anywhere you have to copy it from the address bar and paste it wherever you want. I noticed that you are being rude to other editors too. Better mend your behavior if you want to stay on wiki.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 12:13, 21 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, I think m much better because ur reaction would have been much worse than my "no reaction" when someone dropped an F-bomb twice while talking to me. U r telling me that i am being rude, i can only laugh at it because here is the link where someone talks to me in a way that could make someone fragile create a havoc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Onorem, also see other editors also seem to talk rudely to this editor, using words like 'arsehole,' so i warn u to warn me again on grounds of being rude, coz if i come down to explaining how u r examining my tolerance, its nt going to be very sweet, aish.ego (talk) 05:04, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Someone else's rude behavior doesn't give you the license to be rude with me or any other editor. If you behave rudely or make personal attacks you will be of course warned, wether you like it or not. Whatever I am doing, I am doing by staying within the Wiki policies. If that appears to be an examination of tolerance for you. I suggest you find some other website to push your POV.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 01:25, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Knock knock, verfiable statements are not POV

Secondly, what's this licence talk all about!! I just showed u ur temperament to small acceptable things, anyway, i leave ur page now, until u try to find something in my edits again, bye aish.ego (talk) 11:08, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for leaving my page. I feel that it is very difficult for me to have a useful conversation with you. So I hereby ban you from my talk page. If you have problem with any of my edit, then discuss it on that article's talk page. So no further editing on talk page for you. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 11:15, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

This sort of move is a pain, because the user talk pages go, too, and sometimes get lost: I wonder if it could be arranged that main user pages cannot be moved except by admins, or maybe that if a main user page is moved the talk page does not go with it.

Kashmir
You seem to me a fanatic Indian where you refer Pakistani administrated Kashmir (Azad Kashmir)as occupied Kashmir. It is simply shame if you are trying to be neutral. Did you forget that 700,000 Indian Army is still occupying Jammu Kashmir. I know it from the horse mouth and have seen it myself. Do you know it is the highest militarized zone in the whole world? To put facts together, India has failed to win hearts and minds of Kashmiris. India is controlling Jammu Kashmir on the point of gun, and it is a known fact.

If you want to remain neutral, you should say Indian controlled Kashmir or Pakistani controlled Kashmir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oppressedkashmiri (talk • contribs) 17:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I am sorry about how you feel and present status of Kashmir. What I refer to is a present status quo position. Wikipedia states what is cited by reliable sources. You may read WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. As of today there is no country called Kashmir. If it becomes someday, we can change Wikipedia accordingly. No problem with that. But as of now POK is part of Pakistan and IOK is part of India. That is a fact. The part about "India having failed to win hearts and minds of Kashmiris...", has its own places and can be discussed in an appropriate article. But that does not change the fact that people born or living in JK are officially Indian (even if they themselves don't believe so). -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 01:18, 23 April 2014 (UTC)


 * If you look at the fact you have to agree that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed part and so its people either live in Indian controlled Kashmir or Pakistani controlled Kashmir. We have to bear in mind that they must be called with that name. By the way, UN others agencies who wants to remain neutral call Jammu and Kashmir as controlled or administrated part of the two countries. For example Al Jazeera news also calls it administrated as they want to be neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oppressedkashmiri (talk • contribs) 17:03, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I dont disagree and debate the fact that Kashmir is disputed. Now about, which name to be used to call. Pakistani/Indian Controlled Kashmir or Administrated Kashmir. This can be debated. I will suggest that this be done on the talk page of the article in question i..e. Afzal Guru, so that other editors can also notice it and participate in the discussion. Personally, I have not much opinion on the name, I will have to go through some reliable sources to fix my opinion. 2nd Nationality, whatever name we use to call those regions, that won't change the nationality of people living their. Another important factor, it will never change the address where they were born. For ex. the people born in India before Independence are referred to as born in British India, not India, ex. Jawaharlal Nehru. I will again clarify, in the present case of Afzal Guru, you are making 3 changes 1) birth place, 2) nationality 3) place where Pakistan president condemned Guru's execution. 1st will never change. 2nd can change, if one choose a different nationality, but in this case it will also not change because Guru has already died. 3rd can be changed upon discussion and analysis of reliable sources. Another minor point, in 3rd you are changing text in WP article and text of citation title. Here, you can not change citation title, that is text used by newspaper, if you want you can use a different news source which uses the text of your preference. I hope I make myself clear. So further discussion you can start on Talk:Afzal Guru-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ  03:42, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

PM
Manmohan singh already resigned and accepted by President of India. Modi got official Designations from President of India and Certificate is also obtained from Election commission of India.So Using Designate instead of Incumbent will be better for Modi .But Dr.Manmohan singh can no longer listed as PM of India as Per Indian Constitution. - RahulTag talk — Preceding undated comment added 13:06, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I had already PRODed the article and was removed by the creating editor. So, I removed your PROD per rules. I had this on my watchlist to do an AfD, but forgot about it. If you want to write up a AfD, I'll come along and vote delete. If you would rather not, then I'll do the AfD. Bgwhite (talk) 07:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * At least you noticed. I keep forgetting to look at the history to see if it had been PRODed before.  The only exception on doing a PROD twice is if the previous PROD was a BLPPROD.  You can PROD an article if it had been BLPRODed before.
 * I'm surprised I haven't seen your name before. I'm always in some mess on an Indian related article... either reverting or refereeing.  Bgwhite (talk) 08:18, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Problem editor
Hi Vigyani.

What I can see that the editor is new to Wikipedia, and so might not know what the 4th pillar is. (I've always thought that "Five Pillars of Wikipedia" is rather insulting and Euro-centric for obvious reasons, but that's another matter.)

What I think you should do at this point in time is give them a civility warning on their talk-page. I guess they can read Hindi. It might be a good idea to write a (very civil) message, with a translation for those of us (like me) that can't read a word of Hindi (or Punjabi) but can get a gist of what is being written via Google Translate.

Could you possibly email me what they wrote in Punjabi (in Punjabi, not in the romanization), with a translation?

If you think that account is a sock-puppet, could you possibly indicate who you thing the sock-puppeteer is?

Hello Vigyani. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Gujarat Swarajya Sangh to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:09, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

I wonder how my article has copyright issues. Sarabveer (talk) 23:38, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This means that you are copying the text from other places on internet. You were told this 2 days back also, but you choose to again do this. Also irrespective of copyright, I had told you that I have objection to your version, so until our discussions are over, you can not edit the article. That is the rule. So next time, you put that preachy text on Wikipedia, I will straight away report you without warning. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 23:50, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I have made it original as possible. And I am not preaching, Most places put Bhai Sahib before Bhai Randir Singh's name. I putting my article up now, since the old article, was approved by another Wikipedia moderator. He had no issues with it. I edited it to meet the Copyright standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarabveer (talk • contribs) 00:53, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Read WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:NPOV, Close paraphrasing. And can you tell me which Wikipedia moderator approved your version ?-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 02:02, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Discospinster did. Also, I didn't get it from AKJ Radio. I actually got the info from SikhWiki. Also, SikhWiki is a open Wiki, so thats why I used it. Check References. I modified that so it goes with the Coyright rule, Do you even real my article? Also, Why do you hate me, You probably dislike my article because of the Vaisakhi 1978 topic. Sarabveer (talk) 02:32, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Discospinster did not approve, he said that "you should resolve with other editor". Close paraphrasing is a subset of copyright violations. I don't hate you, I don't know how you got that impression. I dislike your version because it is violating many wiki policies. We don't know from where SikhWiki got this, there is no way to prove that this is their original or they also got from AKJ Radio. Also, in general too, wikipedia articles are to be written in our own words, not copying text from anywhere. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 02:54, 30 August 2014 (UTC)r

Template:Did you know nominations/Seafood pizza
Hi, in answer to your question, any editor can finish a review, although I think it's good manners not to jump in on the same day and overwrite the other editor. In the case of this nomination, I was away for 24 hours and came back to see that Mandarax and the page creator had resolved the citation issue between them, and since you hadn't returned to comment, I went ahead and approved the nomination. BTW whenever you see a nomination languishing for days or weeks without a response from the first reviewer, you can always jump in and finish it off. Best, Yoninah (talk) 12:02, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi. Thanks. Since you are an experienced DYK editor, I will ask some more questions. In such situation whats happens to QPQ? Who in this case can use this review for their QPQ. I don't need to do any QPQ yet, but in future I will need. Another questions, when we nominate a new DYK, do we need to do a QPQ around that time or can we use any previously unused review for QPQ. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 12:12, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Both reviewers can use the QPQ, since they both checked the article against the DYK criteria. When you nominate a new article, you could probably use a QPQ that's up to a month old, but hopefully you'll enjoy reviewing so much that you'll have something a little more recent!

Hello Vigyani. Thanks for your expansion of the Sikkimese general election, 1974 article. Just one comment - when writing dates, don't use "2nd", "23rd" etc - we have to use the "23 July" format (or "July 23" for American ones). See MOS:DATEFORMAT for more details.

Ashutosh page

 * Dear Vigyani, I am a new user in Wikipedia and do not have much experience of doing editing in Wikipedia. Hence, I would like to deeply apologize if I ended up doing anything which you felt was a non-sense. I am extremely sorry about it, and have no intentions to create anything which does not makes sense. Its just that I have lot of interest human mind dynamics, metaphysics, and Buddhist/Indian philosophy of possible existence of Higher States of Consciousness. Hence, this curious case of this Indian Godman caught my attention and I have been keenly following the case. I am myself exploring the reality of what is happening, and would like to understand the perspective in an unbiased manner. I really respect the fact that you shared me the link of Wikipedia's policies, but irrespective of that, I would never like to present anything in a biased manner or something which does not makes sense. Perspectively, I was just trying to edit things which are controversial but which appeared to me as painted black and white. If you would have given me sometime, I was going to support my changes with references of the recent court case hearings and associated urls in web news. I dont know how keenly you are following the case, but for me, it is something of great interest apart from the fact that it is a unique case in itself and has international ramifications. Hence, it is all the more important that we do not allow our biased perspectives to come into something which could affect the international community. Hence, I repeat, my endeavor is to just present the controversies in this case, which I believe has been overlooked by you or other people who have worked hard to create this page. In fact I appreciate your hard work and initiative in making this page, for when I tried to find about this man (Ashutosh) a couple of months back, I could not get anything on Wikipedia. But your hard work and endeavors has brought up this page, which would probably help millions across the globe to get consolidated information at a reliable source. With no intentions to be offensive and be non-sensical, I just felt that we would not do justice to the page, if we do not present the controversial aspects of the case. However, if you think my edits are non-sensical, I would abide by what you say; for you are a senior writer/editor and much more experienced than me, and more than that I need to respect you for your hard work, and I feel the kind of hard work you have put, I need to acknowledge you as one of the key owners of the page. Do guide me in case you think I am not doing anything in right perspective. I would only like to move once you give me a green signal to go ahead.

Reverting Mughal-Sikh War temple
Ok, noted. Thanks Vdhillon (talk)

Thanks for the Tips
Thanks for the tips bhai. I want to understand, why there is a practice of linking only once. Shouldn't linking multiple times make it easier for the reader to drill into a topic without having to scroll here and there trying to find the link (if any), as a reader I often find it frustrating to search the whole article for a link and not find any, or find it hidden/lost in the pile of the text.

Another thing is, I want to learn how to call another template from within a template i.e. do you have a sample of a template that I can look at that calls more templates.

I expanded the template on Gurus, I applied the criteria "what a new comer like to see, that summarizes the life of all gurus" as a short-and-sweet tool of learning and remembering the details, but I also recognize someone who created the original template may not like (people tend to become emotionally attached and very guarded of any changes to their templates), as a result I might have to create another DETAILED template (the way I have it now) and use it on the pages of Guru jis, which someone might try to revert. What do you suggest? Take a look at this please: I added 3rd last column (Contribution and Death) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:List_of_Sikh_Gurus

Finally, I still do not know whats the best way to communicate with other users of wiki? My page? their page? talk page of article? is there a way to directly inbox/sg them (or we can just leave a msg on their talk page only)? I feel lost with communication sometimes.

Sorry bhai, too many questions, Thanks for the patience and cooperation bhai.

Cheers! Vdhillon (talk)


 * #Guidelines for the over linking is given at WP:OVERLINK (see the last line prohibiting multiple linking in article body). Mainly it is distracting for a reader, if the color of texts keep on changing.
 * To call a template anywhere, just . Same markup can be used inside another template.
 * If you want to make a change to any template/page, please don't worry about if the original may or may not like it. As long as your edits are useful and in WP policies, you don't need to worry. Infact instead of creating a new template, you should edit the original template.
 * Best way to communicate is to use talk page. You can post a message on another user's talk page, but it is best to keep the whole conversation in one place. for example, I wrote a message on your talk page, which you could have replied there itself, instead of posting on my talk page. To keep the discussion in one place help to go through it at a later date. Don't worry about number of questions, you can ask me as many questions as you want. Another useful place to ask question is Wikipedia Teahouse.
 * Another thing, I am not sure how you are signing your posts, but you can just use ~ at the end. This will place your signature along with the timestamp. Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 07:36, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

What happens when people have strong and opposing views on editing a page. How to resolve it (so far I have not been in such a situation).

I feel wiki is easy to do for the basic thing (create the page) but much harder to FIND for self-learning and collaborating with others, its trail and error and lots of scattered info, even the how to guides are not so easy to follow (im computer literate, been on wiki long enough, but still when it comes to collaborating/communicating with others or finding things, I feel like am more like a LONE trial-and-error wikiwarrior in my own corner :) Any tips ... thanks.

 * To collaborate, you can make a post on the talk page of the article to find people who may be interested in working on the same topic. But unfortunately, not many editors work on Punjab related topics, so mostly we have to work alone. It is same with me, my primary interests are Punjab related articles, but I normally have to work alone. -- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 07:53, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Note of appreciation and a question
Hi, Vigyani. I wanted to thank you for your efforts to reign-in some of the more wild and least-policy-driven comments in the RfC at Talk:Punjabi, even though most of the more zealous contributors are, in a purely nominal sense, on the same side of the debate as you (though clearly your arguments are distinct from those who are voicing more emotional opinions and anecdotal perspectives rather than policy arguments.  I know that, even from a practical perspective, it only makes sense to call them out, since many of those arguments are hurting the likelihood of the the outcome you desire, but even so, I want you to know that your efforts to restrain such contributions are noted and appreciated by at least one other editor involved there.

The second cause for this message is an inquiry about the facts of the content being debated. Now this question is in a sense irrelevant to the RfC itself, since the matter will be determined by the sources and their relevance to policy, but it could nonetheless help me gain some perspective on the debate. My inquiry presumes that you have some first-hand knowledge of both the language and script in question, which may be a completely erroneous assumption, but I judge you my best shot for an dispassionate and neutral answer amongst those editors on the page, so I hope you are in fact familiar and not just there on account of the RfC as I am. Clearly from your vote and comments you are of the opinion that Devanagari is not a major script of Punjabi, but just how marginal do you think the association between the two is? Is it, for example, likely in your opinion that 0.5% of contemporary speakers of Punjabi have had occasion to write in the language using Devanagari at some point? Again, this question is to a large extent academic, per the relevant policies and the principle of verifiability-not-truth, but I just want an impression of what manner of overlap exists. Thanks in advance for any insight you can give.  S n o w  talk 09:55, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Snow Rise, thank you for the message and appreciation. Most of the other users in non inclusions of devnagari camp are from Punjabi Gurmukhi Wikipedia (There are 2 Punjabi WPs, one for each script, Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi). I also edited there for about 1 year, so I know them (other then brand new users). Comments by some other well meaning editors (ex. by Satdeep gill today) lacks citation of policies mainly because of inexperience of English WP. Punjabi Gurmukhi WP being a very small WP, doesn't have any elaborate policies or such debates. As you already noted on the RfC page, there is indeed a political/ideological undercurrent to the whole discussion. But, I am just interested in the present scenario, irrespective of any conspiracy theories.


 * Yes, I am a native speaker of Punjabi and studied Punjabi in Gurmukhi script. My signature include the word "contributions" written in Gurmukhi. I was not aware of that RfC until another user I was interacting with in another debate, commented there. Before the RfC, I was of the opinion that in modern times, no one uses devanagri to write Punjabi. I am reading some books and research papers these days for the RfC. From what I have understood, devnagari was used by some people to write Punjabi at some point of time in 50s or 60s. An attempt was made by certain right wing political parties to get devanagari listed as one of the script for Punjabi in India. The push was unsuccessful and only Gurmukhi is recognized as an official script. Use of Gurmukhi also has picked up since then and any use of devanagari died. At present, I am not aware of any actual use of devanagari for Punjabi, in terms of any newspaper, any author publishing their manuscript, or any community using it. The sources provided by Anupam in the RfC has surprised me and I am trying to find their original sources i.e. any survey or research paper etc. Again, I am not aware in terms of percentage about how many speakers used it at some point.-- Vigyani talkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 14:05, 26 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I see -- Thank you for the insight into both the issue at hand and the involved editors.  It would seem we're in a little bit of a sticky situation here, stuck between a rock (the likely reality of the situation) and a hard place (WP:V).   It is, however, reassuring to know that the use is likely not just marginal but in fact probably nearly non-existent, at least as regards everyday use by a community -- and that no misinformation results from its omission.  I will, however, reserve a change on my vote until you feel you have found conclusive evidence or exhausted all reasonable avenues of research, since I don't like to part from strict adherence to a pillar policy unless it is absolutely certain that a given case is one of those extremely rare exceptions where there is really no choice, which indeed this may be.  That said, I think at the very least the information you just imparted to me (that devnagari was for a time utilized as a script and pushed for sociopolitical reasons) is information worth noting for our users, either in Punjabi language or in History of the Punjabi language.  As to establishing concretely whether any significant use persists today, comment on the talk page seems to have slowed for the moment, which will hopefully give you time to pursue whatever research avenues you have remaining, at your leisure.   It seems we have relied quite a bit on you in this matter, not just as the one Punjabi speaker involved in the discussion who is willing to pursue the possibility of the unlikely until it can be reasonably discounted, but also as a bridge between both the two sides of the debate and the three Wikipedia communities involved, with their divergent approaches and policies.  My impression is that you are a real asset to the project, so thank you for your hard work.   S n o w  talk 00:32, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
