I was some of the content was removed from Wiki some time ago. It was to do with an Indian buying the East India Company. And the reason given was its not the same company. I have gone through the website http://www.theeastindiacompany.com/ and searched press release and telegraph website and I do not agree with this. This is certainly the same company who sailed to places including India.
I think this information should be either instated or rephrased to Wiki's Standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Naru6705 ( talk • contribs) 10:29, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
It is true. Just make yourself believe it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.16.154.82 ( talk) 10:47, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Regarding the paragraphs you have removed from the article, East India Company, I request you to check the press release of the official website of the EIC. Also you can check Khalis Times, and Hindustan Times for related information. Another website smetimes.tradeindia.com has also published image of Sanjib Mehata with logo of EIC in the background.
Please, refill the content.

As you requested, I added a rationale for why I reinstated that section. You are welcome to debate, if you so feel necessary. -- RaviC ( talk) 15:33, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Abecedare,
The latest version of the Bansuri article after receiving these edits by an IP user, seems (to me) to have a skewed opinion towards a certain artist family and lacks good phraseology as well. I felt that it is better to request a mod to look into it rather than editing it again myself. Could you please check the edits in question and validate my concerns?
Thanks & Regards

This discussion has been going on for three years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:East_Timor#Summary
How does one define a consensus? Has a consensus been reached? I ask that you try to be as objective as possible, answering in a way that will fit all articles, not just this one.
I do not seek you to make a permanent decision and threat to block anyone that disagrees. I do not ask for your vote. I only ask for your analysis on whether a consensus has been reached.
Question 2
What is the default decision (in general, not this article) when there is no consensus. Keep in mind that the current version might be the POV version put in place by POV pushers. Perhaps the most neutrally written version if the dispute is about facts? If about a name, this may be more difficult. Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 16:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
An anon and the creator User:Kamaldevjhalli removed the Afd tag, which I initiated. I have restored it, but can you please guide this new user to prove the notability of the article? Please suggest ways to how to prove notability and educate him a little about WP:RS. I am requesting you a third party to do thing, as I educating him may border WP:BITE. Thanks. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:14, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Abecedare, I wanted to bring it to your attention that User:KuwarOnline and I are having some disagreements on the Indian Expressways article. I provided a citation from the CIA World Factbook stating that the total length of the network is 200km but Kuwar seems to think this figure is out of date and is closer to 400km. While I'm fairly certain that the figure needs to be updated, I'm not a fan of removing a cited reliable source and replacing it with conjecture. In addition the 200km figure is also supported by the NHAI and I think that until one of these authorities decides to update the figure, the 200km length should be retained. I was just wondering if you could take a look at the article and let me know what you think. Thanks, Vedant ( talk) 21:45, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
The following is a comment I posted on User:HJ Mitchell's talk page
Hello
I happen to be a
Malayalam wiki user since 2007 and have a
moderate number of quality edits to my credit; also more than 20 photographs submitted by me were featured in the ml. main page. I do visit en.wiki just to copy a taxo-box or a photograph (medicinal plants being my interest). Moreover I am not a computer expert and the charge surprised me though i did not figure it out :)
I recently shifted my OS to
Ubuntu has that got something to do with it?
Request you to revert the block.

Two or more anon's are engrossed in an edit war from 29 may trying to prove Ravana as a historical emperor (a fringe theory). One of whom adds Ravana is a Hela (Sinhalese) emperor, another reverts it to Tamil emperor. Can you please take a look? Does this merit protection. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 08:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps you should take a look at this article. I noted quite a bit of OR and incorrect info, fixed some inaccuracies with available ref, even the article name seems to be inappropriate, perhaps should be Controversies and insider-outsider problem in Hindu studies in American academia in the past 20 years. Sort of bored now to look at this now. -- TheMandarin ( talk) 05:20, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Page Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama'at was protected by you on 11 November 2009. I would like to request it to be unprotected as in its current form (redirect to Barelvi) the page is highly POV. Either the page should redirect to the more general Sunni Islam, or the page should explain the name dispute (if there are enough secondary sources to do so), or the page should be a disambiguation page, or it should be deleted. It should not be allowed to remain in its current POV form. Please note that there are other variants of the same name which redirect elsewhere, namely: Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat and Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (sectarian organization). Thanks! -- Urduboy ( talk) 11:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, just something to look at when you're bored. During one of my late-night "let me google for a phrase" obsessive spurts, I created Pizza effect, a phrase about something that's everywhere if you look for it, but which I'm unable to describe except through quoting too many examples, and now I'm not even sure ought to be on Wikipedia. What do you think? Can you suggest categories, or rewriting, or deletion? :-) Shreevatsa ( talk) 21:44, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Abecedare. If you have a few spare moments, could you take a look at the Hemant Karkare article, particularly at the controversies section (you'll have to look in the history for that since I've protected a version that has no controversy). There is also a discussion on this article on my talk page and various threads on WP:RSN, WP:WQA, and WP:ANI. Your opinion would be helpful. Regards. -- RegentsPark ( talk) 23:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

The notability discussion was already resolved and a decision taken by Ged UK. However, you are correct when you write that there is too little information on the workings of the society. I have added a new para addressing this issue, but shall hunt around for more sources. Kochank ( talk) 07:52, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Dear Sir: I do realize that it takes time to formulate Wikipedia's stance on the interpolations in Bhagvad-Gita in which you have taken a personal interest. Meanwhile, I would like to put forth the following for your consideration. As you can gather from the Gita page, all the references cited and the links provided therein are for the 700-verse texts and that denies the readers an opportunity to access some work or the other sans interpolations though the fact of their being was established by many a scholar including Otto Rudolph as your yourself had discovered. I am pleased to inform you that my 591-verse 'Bhagvad-Gita: treatise of self-help'sans 110 interpolations is accessible at Vedanta Spiritual Library in HTML text(links - http://www.celextel.org/bhagavadgita/bhagvadgitatreatiseofselfhelp.htm and http://www.shastras.com/bhagavadgita/bhagvadgitatreatiseofselfhelp.htm. and gatewayforindia.com (link - http://gatewayforindia.com/geeta/geeta.htm (audio and HTML text). I hope you would see the desirability of providing the opportunity to the readers to appreciate how the Gita sounds and reads without 110 interpolations by providing linkage to my work through your Bhagvad-Gita page. Regards, BS Murthy ( talk) 16:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC) BS Murthy
Dear sir: You may like to note that in the Bhagvad-Gita page, it is a case of repetitive references to the same author or source all over. Under the head of 'Notes', A.C. Bhakthivedanta Swamy Prabhupada's Gita figures 17 times while Nikhilananda Swamy's 4 times, Sri Aurobindo's 2 times etc. Under the 'references' section, Eswaran Eknath's Gita is referred to 4 times. As these are but samples of the repetitive character of the page construct, you may agree that there is a need to trim the content to accommodate the works of others, such as mine, to let readers have varied view-points leading to a broader perspective of the Gita. Regards, BS Murthy ( talk) 05:41, 10 August 2010 (UTC) BS Murthy
Dear Sir: Glad to know that you would have a re-look at the BG page. You may like to note my comments in the BG talk page pertaining to the paintings therein being not of the period ones. I have a commissioned sketch for my work and if you please let me have your mail Id I would forward it to you. Alternately, you may please visit the page 'Essence of Gita by BS Murthy' at Ham Radio India website by Vu2FD to see the picture. BS Murthy ( talk) 08:41, 19 August 2010 (UTC) BS Murthy

Whilst I agree with your edit, (and your statements on the talk page), I was wondering if you realised that the style of the lead paragraph is consistent across List of Australian Victoria Cross recipients, and I was wondering if you were planning to change all of the other articles?

(Welcome back!) I don't mean to quibble (ok, I do!) but the substitution of British Commonwealth for Commonwealth of Nations is merely cosmetic. The link heads over to the latter article and the casual reader will be left with the impression that the VC can be awarded to citizens of any member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Just a thought. -- RegentsPark ( talk) 15:35, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the input, all. I'll think it over and add my 2c to the discussion later today (perhaps, ~12 hours). In the meantime feel free to add/discuss alternate wordings here.

Can you protect the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport pages so that no IPs can edit it? because random IPs are adding New York-JFK and London-Heathrow on the Kolkata Airport page when passengers have to transit at Delhi and random IPs are also removing the discontinuation dates of Newark and Frankfurt from Ahmedabad Airport page and are also adding London. Ahmedabad passengers have to transit at Mumbai to take AI 131 to London. Thanks ( Kshitij85 ( talk) 04:48, 21 August 2010 (UTC))

Hi! I'm Liria Veronesi ( User:Akoha77) and, together with Paolo Massa ( User:Phauly), I'm starting an empirical research on "Gender and votes in requests for adminship". For this reason, we need to know the gender of Wikipedians who were candidated to become admins.
We tried looking for the templates User:UBX/male and User:UBX/female but only 4 admins use it. We also used the API for getting the gender field in the profile but, out of 1744 admins, only around 400 have filled this field. But we would benefit from a larger coverage, i.e. possibly knowing the gender of 100% of candidates.
So, after asking for advice to 3 admins and receiving 2 positive replies ( 1 and 2), we decided to try to ask directly to Wikipedians.
Thus, would you be so kind to write your gender [Male / Female / Other], together with a text comment if you want, on my talk page at User_talk:Akoha77? If you prefer to send me this information privately, you can send me an email, the information will be kept confidential and never shared.
Thanks! Akoha77 ( talk) 12:48, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Dear Mr. Abacedere: It is clear that you do see the need to amend the Gita page and there are others who share the same view. What is more, you did express your intent to bring about the needed changes. Hope you would like to prioritize the same. Regards, BS Murthy ( talk) 17:39, 18 September 2010 (UTC) BS Murthy

Apropos your message, The issue is that when Wikipedia proclaims to be "a free-content encyclopedia project based on an openly editable model", free for all to edit "and anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles", and Wikipedia is made available in India with this assertion and it publishes articles like inter alia Hindutash, Sanju Pass , Aksai Chin, Kashmir, or Jammu and Kashmir which pertain to the territorial integrity of India and are all biased and prejudiced against India and detrimental to her territorial integrity, I cannot but edit the said articles not withstanding the fact that I am blocked on the basis of sweeping unsubstantiated allegations. I wouldn’t bother about these articles had Wikipedia not been proclaimed to be a free to edit encyclopedia. It is as simple as that!
You blocked me at the instance of Fowler&fowler, RegentsPark and YellowMonkey with out substantiating your allegation that I was causing disruption in spite of my various attempts to make you substantiate. I literally got my fingers burnt in my endeavour to get you to substantiate your allegations! Now you are most shamelessly again repeating your baseless unsubstantiated allegations! Do not pretend that you are not aware that Toddst1 has cantankerously blocked my ability to even edit my own discussion page! Be sure that if eventually , I am unblocked, It will only be after my stance and assertions are vindicated and punitive action is taken against inter alia yourself, YellowMonkey , RegentsPark and Fowler&fowler for their substantiated disruptive conduct!

APPEAL TO YOU Reg: [BRAHMAN PUJAN] , [UNIVERSAL PRAYERS] . written by [Naresh Sonee] On wikipedia , These above two pages are far older than the present article [Brahman] References of above titles are also available on New York site - http://www.printsasia.com/BookDetails.aspx?Id=445813482 Meanwhile, Can your good selves in Wiki Project Indian Community re-create a precise pages on [Naresh Sonee] & his book [Brahmand Pujan] – [Brahmaand Pujan] . However, Sonee is the writer of this book [Brahmand Pujan] written in 1999 . registered with Government of India- HRRD. Details of the registration is provided here on http://brhmaandpujanbook.tripod.com/ . More than sufficient, news and reviews are there on http://brhmaandpujan-news-reviews.tripod.com/ Since 5-6 yrs, for one or the other reason pages of [Naresh Sonee] & [Brahmand Pujan] are faced by communal bias from outside India so these articles over and again get deleted here in Wikipedia for minor reasons. However, many hits of - Naresh Sonee reflects on google search engine also. So, I request Wiki Indian community to kindly come forward and generously help these two pages to grow, as I am fed up to fight my case alone here [left] and moved out long back. Meanwhile, such an important info/issue on ‘Indian literature’ which adds & spell ‘new meaning /dimension’ to Brahman -should it stay lost else ignored? Your community panel has to judge at last. Myself, will not be on Wikipedia, for the same i apologise, but- pls. help these two pages to get reinstalled, reap, sow and grow, if you too feel so, I appeal to do this munificent favour.

Following a
community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to
provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the
re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

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.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

I saw that you had reverted one of my edit, of the page Sanskrit, acknowledging that a few reliable sources considers 6000 BC [2]](page 75) as the date of Sanskrit. But that would be quiet huge estimate, 4000 BC has been supported by multiple sources, [3](page 10), [4] (page 71), and [5] suggests "4500" BC. I think we should add.

For written literature, the associated primary language and script is,
- easy to determine (by looking at the form the work was first published in), and
- useful for a reader trying to locate the primary written work, or secondary literature on the subject.
- Caveats
- This RFC is only on the question of whether transliterations may be included. Individual articles may present distinctive concerns not foreseen here, in which case whether Indic transliterations should be included is decided through consensus.
- For works simultaneously published in many languages, editors need to determine through discussion whether to include multiple transliterations in the lede, later in the article, or exclude them altogether (eg, for newspaper, magazines, some Government of India publications, that are simultaneously be published in numerous languages, and have no primary language) based on issues like what reliable sources do, POV concerns, readability, and utility to a general reader.
Should we extend the above to Films with non-English titles or explicitly exclude them? What are pros and cons? Abecedare ( talk) 07:12, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
I have started the discussion on both the talk pages. Pls. do not merge articles.
Last week, I observed that Ganesh festival and Ganesh Chaturthi are written as same article. and Ganesh festival is been redirected to Ganesh Chaturthi.
Pls. note that Ganesh festival and Ganesh Chaturthi are seperate things. Ganesh Charturthi is the single day which comes on the 4th day of Bhadrapada month as per Hindu calendar which is been celebrated as Ganesh sthapana in India. This is an improtant day where the pooja is performed at home. The prasad of Modak is offered to Ganesha on that day.
Ganesh festival is festival which lasts for 10/11 days. The festival starts on Ganesh Charturthi and ends on Anant Chaturdashi. This festival is widely celebrated in India and some parts outside India as well. Some poeple celebrate Ganesh festival for 2, 5, 7 or 10 days depending upon the rituals and the area they are staying. There are many programs which are planned and celebrated during Ganesh festival. On the last day i.e. on Anant Chaturdashi, Ganesh idol are immersed in the sea or nearby lakes and rivers. There is a big celebration on that day where there is long q for performing this.
Looking at this background, we must have two seperate articles. If any body has any issue, pls. let me know. You may help me in improving the content in both the articles. Thanks Coolgama ( talk) 11:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the edits I've made in the "Death" section is completely valid. Being a follower of the sect "Pushtimarg" - created by Shri VallabhAcharyaji himself, I am very well aware of the fact. Please allow my edit. The word death is not used for our Spiritual guru Shri VallabhAcharyaji but the word "AsurVyamohLila" - which means to show that one has left this world in front of unholy/evil people. The word death used for our revered Spiritual Guru Shri VallabhAcharya is not acceptable to the followers of this sect. So, please allow my edit. Many books of our sect have articles on the topic of AsurVyamohLila which can justify this edit. So, please consider my request. Instead of word Death please allow the usage of word "AsurVyamohLila" Also the name is "Shri VallabhAcharya" and not Vallabh"a" Acharya. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthseeker1982 ( talk • contribs) 11:43, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the kudos on the Byrd Spilman Dewey page - you asked if I had read the book Pioneering Palm Beach - I am indeed the author! I wanted this page to be a biography of Byrd Spilman Dewey as an author, not so much as a synopsis of the book. I used her books as a sort of "interview" with her to add her voice of more than 100 years ago to the storyline. I think she led an incredible life! Flahistory ( talk) 01:22, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words. Mrs. Dewey was a gifted writer; Bruno is obviously her most heralded work, but not my favorite. That goes to From Pine Wooods to Palm Groves, which tells of her moving to Palm Beach County in 1887. It has some great scenes, and really captures the pioneer spirit. I know each locale where the story takes place, so that makes it extra special. Flahistory ( talk) 13:15, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
Don't see actual problem with the leading line, it's fine, neutrality. Only thing would be, "...that seers are reputed to have visited Greece, it may be that the Upanishadic..", creates confusion. I know there's always someone to dispute such history. But the source sources presents it as a fact. Unless it was some heated subject, but it's not. Bladesmulti ( talk) 05:00, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Those paintings are 30,000 BCE old, where you found that they are 600 BCE - 600 CE? And i think that it was better to keep it in a separate section, as it's just different base for Shiva's depiction, just like "The Pashupati seal". Bladesmulti ( talk) 03:48, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Abecedare, looking at your active contribution towards the religious and cultural articles. I think you should contribute to this article named " Hinduism and other religions", a editor called Blackguard SF seems to be randomly editing, in the sense that he has never edited any of the hinduism related articles, yet he always jumps to this article without making any discussion, with the same dialogue that "article written like essay", then he launches personal attacks such as "problematic editor." While he adds the same fringed material all the time, which is already refuted in discussion of the page, can be see here. I think I can make this page a lot better, but it seems that suspicious editor like him really won't let anyone, and the page will remain "poor" class article, like it's now with such edition.

Hi Abecedare,
The latest version of the Bansuri article after receiving these edits by an IP user, seems (to me) to have a skewed opinion towards a certain artist family and lacks good phraseology as well.

This discussion has been going on for three years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:East_Timor#Summary
How does one define a consensus? Has a consensus been reached? I ask that you try to be as objective as possible, answering in a way that will fit all articles, not just this one.
I do not seek you to make a permanent decision and threat to block anyone that disagrees. I do not ask for your vote. I only ask for your analysis on whether a consensus has been reached.
Question 2
What is the default decision (in general, not this article) when there is no consensus. Keep in mind that the current version might be the POV version put in place by POV pushers. Perhaps the most neutrally written version if the dispute is about facts? If about a name, this may be more difficult. Suomi Finland 2009 ( talk) 16:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Abecedare, I wanted to bring it to your attention that User:KuwarOnline and I are having some disagreements on the Indian Expressways article. I provided a citation from the CIA World Factbook stating that the total length of the network is 200km but Kuwar seems to think this figure is out of date and is closer to 400km. While I'm fairly certain that the figure needs to be updated, I'm not a fan of removing a cited reliable source and replacing it with conjecture. In addition the 200km figure is also supported by the NHAI and I think that until one of these authorities decides to update the figure, the 200km length should be retained. I was just wondering if you could take a look at the article and let me know what you think. Thanks, Vedant ( talk) 21:45, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Page Ahle Sunnat Wal Jama'at was protected by you on 11 November 2009. I would like to request it to be unprotected as in its current form (redirect to Barelvi) the page is highly POV. Either the page should redirect to the more general Sunni Islam, or the page should explain the name dispute (if there are enough secondary sources to do so), or the page should be a disambiguation page, or it should be deleted. It should not be allowed to remain in its current POV form.

Dear Sir: I do realize that it takes time to formulate Wikipedia's stance on the interpolations in Bhagvad-Gita in which you have taken a personal interest. Meanwhile, I would like to put forth the following for your consideration. As you can gather from the Gita page, all the references cited and the links provided therein are for the 700-verse texts and that denies the readers an opportunity to access some work or the other sans interpolations though the fact of their being was established by many a scholar including Otto Rudolph as your yourself had discovered. I am pleased to inform you that my 591-verse 'Bhagvad-Gita: treatise of self-help'sans 110 interpolations is accessible at Vedanta Spiritual Library in HTML text(links - http://www.celextel.org/bhagavadgita/bhagvadgitatreatiseofselfhelp.htm and http://www.shastras.com/bhagavadgita/bhagvadgitatreatiseofselfhelp.htm. and gatewayforindia.com (link - http://gatewayforindia.com/geeta/geeta.htm (audio and HTML text). I hope you would see the desirability of providing the opportunity to the readers to appreciate how the Gita sounds and reads without 110 interpolations by providing linkage to my work through your Bhagvad-Gita page. Regards, BS Murthy ( talk) 16:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC) BS Murthy
Dear sir: You may like to note that in the Bhagvad-Gita page, it is a case of repetitive references to the same author or source all over. Under the head of 'Notes', A.C. Bhakthivedanta Swamy Prabhupada's Gita figures 17 times while Nikhilananda Swamy's 4 times, Sri Aurobindo's 2 times etc. Under the 'references' section, Eswaran Eknath's Gita is referred to 4 times. As these are but samples of the repetitive character of the page construct, you may agree that there is a need to trim the content to accommodate the works of others, such as mine, to let readers have varied view-points leading to a broader perspective of the Gita. Regards, BS Murthy ( talk) 05:41, 10 August 2010 (UTC) BS Murthy
Dear Sir: Glad to know that you would have a re-look at the BG page. You may like to note my comments in the BG talk page pertaining to the paintings therein being not of the period ones.

Hi! I'm Liria Veronesi ( User:Akoha77) and, together with Paolo Massa ( User:Phauly), I'm starting an empirical research on "Gender and votes in requests for adminship". For this reason, we need to know the gender of Wikipedians who were candidated to become admins.
We tried looking for the templates User:UBX/male and User:UBX/female but only 4 admins use it. We also used the API for getting the gender field in the profile but, out of 1744 admins, only around 400 have filled this field. But we would benefit from a larger coverage, i.e. possibly knowing the gender of 100% of candidates.
So, after asking for advice to 3 admins and receiving 2 positive replies ( 1 and 2), we decided to try to ask directly to Wikipedians.
Thus, would you be so kind to write your gender [Male / Female / Other], together with a text comment if you want, on my talk page at User_talk:Akoha77? If you prefer to send me this information privately, you can send me an email, the information will be kept confidential and never shared.

Apropos your message, The issue is that when Wikipedia proclaims to be "a free-content encyclopedia project based on an openly editable model", free for all to edit "and anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles", and Wikipedia is made available in India with this assertion and it publishes articles like inter alia Hindutash, Sanju Pass , Aksai Chin, Kashmir, or Jammu and Kashmir which pertain to the territorial integrity of India and are all biased and prejudiced against India and detrimental to her territorial integrity, I cannot but edit the said articles not withstanding the fact that I am blocked on the basis of sweeping unsubstantiated allegations. I wouldn’t bother about these articles had Wikipedia not been proclaimed to be a free to edit encyclopedia. It is as simple as that!
You blocked me at the instance of Fowler&fowler, RegentsPark and YellowMonkey with out substantiating your allegation that I was causing disruption in spite of my various attempts to make you substantiate. I literally got my fingers burnt in my endeavour to get you to substantiate your allegations! Now you are most shamelessly again repeating your baseless unsubstantiated allegations! Do not pretend that you are not aware that Toddst1 has cantankerously blocked my ability to even edit my own discussion page! Be sure that if eventually , I am unblocked, It will only be after my stance and assertions are vindicated and punitive action is taken against inter alia yourself, YellowMonkey , RegentsPark and Fowler&fowler for their substantiated disruptive conduct!

APPEAL TO YOU Reg: [BRAHMAN PUJAN] , [UNIVERSAL PRAYERS] . written by [Naresh Sonee] On wikipedia , These above two pages are far older than the present article [Brahman] References of above titles are also available on New York site - http://www.printsasia.com/BookDetails.aspx?Id=445813482 Meanwhile, Can your good selves in Wiki Project Indian Community re-create a precise pages on [Naresh Sonee] & his book [Brahmand Pujan] – [Brahmaand Pujan] . However, Sonee is the writer of this book [Brahmand Pujan] written in 1999 . registered with Government of India- HRRD. Details of the registration is provided here on http://brhmaandpujanbook.tripod.com/ . More than sufficient, news and reviews are there on http://brhmaandpujan-news-reviews.tripod.com/ Since 5-6 yrs, for one or the other reason pages of [Naresh Sonee] & [Brahmand Pujan] are faced by communal bias from outside India so these articles over and again get deleted here in Wikipedia for minor reasons. However, many hits of - Naresh Sonee reflects on google search engine also. So, I request Wiki Indian community to kindly come forward and generously help these two pages to grow, as I am fed up to fight my case alone here [left] and moved out long back. Meanwhile, such an important info/issue on ‘Indian literature’ which adds & spell ‘new meaning /dimension’ to Brahman -should it stay lost else ignored? Your community panel has to judge at last. Myself, will not be on Wikipedia, for the same i apologise, but- pls. help these two pages to get reinstalled, reap, sow and grow, if you too feel so, I appeal to do this munificent favour.

provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the
Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the
re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hi,
You may be aware that Collaboration of the Month has been revived by members of WP: India. For January 2012 there are 2 articles - Indian COTM - Premchand and Indian COTM for GA - Mahatma Gandhi.

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.

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

I saw that you had reverted one of my edit, of the page Sanskrit, acknowledging that a few reliable sources considers 6000 BC [2]](page 75) as the date of Sanskrit. But that would be quiet huge estimate, 4000 BC has been supported by multiple sources, [3](page 10), [4] (page 71), and [5] suggests "4500" BC. I think we should add.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin).

Hey, ask a question there. It's waiting for a good question.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 04:52, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Draft RFC Proposal
- Question
- May transliterations in Indic script be included in the lede for articles on written literature (like books, poems) in Indian languages with non-English titles?
- Rationale
For written literature, the associated primary language and script is,
- easy to determine (by looking at the form the work was first published in), and
- useful for a reader trying to locate the primary written work, or secondary literature on the subject.
- Caveats
- This RFC is only on the question of whether transliterations may be included. Individual articles may present distinctive concerns not foreseen here, in which case whether Indic transliterations should be included is decided through consensus.
- For works simultaneously published in many languages, editors need to determine through discussion whether to include multiple transliterations in the lede, later in the article, or exclude them altogether (eg, for newspaper, magazines, some Government of India publications, that are simultaneously be published in numerous languages, and have no primary language) based on issues like what reliable sources do, POV concerns, readability, and utility to a general reader.
Should we extend the above to Films with non-English titles or explicitly exclude them? What are pros and cons? Abecedare ( talk) 07:12, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
I have started the discussion on both the talk pages. Pls. do not merge articles.
Last week, I observed that Ganesh festival and Ganesh Chaturthi are written as same article. and Ganesh festival is been redirected to Ganesh Chaturthi.
Pls. note that Ganesh festival and Ganesh Chaturthi are seperate things. Ganesh Charturthi is the single day which comes on the 4th day of Bhadrapada month as per Hindu calendar which is been celebrated as Ganesh sthapana in India. This is an improtant day where the pooja is performed at home. The prasad of Modak is offered to Ganesha on that day.
Ganesh festival is festival which lasts for 10/11 days. The festival starts on Ganesh Charturthi and ends on Anant Chaturdashi. This festival is widely celebrated in India and some parts outside India as well. Some poeple celebrate Ganesh festival for 2, 5, 7 or 10 days depending upon the rituals and the area they are staying. There are many programs which are planned and celebrated during Ganesh festival. On the last day i.e. on Anant Chaturdashi, Ganesh idol are immersed in the sea or nearby lakes and rivers. There is a big celebration on that day where there is long q for performing this.
Looking at this background, we must have two seperate articles. If any body has any issue, pls. let me know. You may help me in improving the content in both the articles. Thanks Coolgama ( talk) 11:38, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the edits I've made in the "Death" section is completely valid. Being a follower of the sect "Pushtimarg" - created by Shri VallabhAcharyaji himself, I am very well aware of the fact. Please allow my edit. The word death is not used for our Spiritual guru Shri VallabhAcharyaji but the word "AsurVyamohLila" - which means to show that one has left this world in front of unholy/evil people. The word death used for our revered Spiritual Guru Shri VallabhAcharya is not acceptable to the followers of this sect. So, please allow my edit. Many books of our sect have articles on the topic of AsurVyamohLila which can justify this edit. So, please consider my request. Instead of word Death please allow the usage of word "AsurVyamohLila" Also the name is "Shri VallabhAcharya" and not Vallabh"a" Acharya. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthseeker1982 ( talk • contribs) 11:43, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the kudos on the Byrd Spilman Dewey page - you asked if I had read the book Pioneering Palm Beach - I am indeed the author! I wanted this page to be a biography of Byrd Spilman Dewey as an author, not so much as a synopsis of the book. I used her books as a sort of "interview" with her to add her voice of more than 100 years ago to the storyline. I think she led an incredible life! Flahistory ( talk) 01:22, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words. Mrs. Dewey was a gifted writer; Bruno is obviously her most heralded work, but not my favorite. That goes to From Pine Wooods to Palm Groves, which tells of her moving to Palm Beach County in 1887. It has some great scenes, and really captures the pioneer spirit. I know each locale where the story takes place, so that makes it extra special. Flahistory ( talk) 13:15, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
Don't see actual problem with the leading line, it's fine, neutrality. Only thing would be, "...that seers are reputed to have visited Greece, it may be that the Upanishadic..", creates confusion. I know there's always someone to dispute such history. But the source sources presents it as a fact. Unless it was some heated subject, but it's not. Bladesmulti ( talk) 05:00, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Those paintings are 30,000 BCE old, where you found that they are 600 BCE - 600 CE? And i think that it was better to keep it in a separate section, as it's just different base for Shiva's depiction, just like "The Pashupati seal". Bladesmulti ( talk) 03:48, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Abecedare, looking at your active contribution towards the religious and cultural articles. I think you should contribute to this article named " Hinduism and other religions", a editor called Blackguard SF seems to be randomly editing, in the sense that he has never edited any of the hinduism related articles, yet he always jumps to this article without making any discussion, with the same dialogue that "article written like essay", then he launches personal attacks such as "problematic editor." While he adds the same fringed material all the time, which is already refuted in discussion of the page, can be see here. I think I can make this page a lot better, but it seems that suspicious editor like him really won't let anyone, and the page will remain "poor" class article, like it's now with such edition.
