Hi,
You made a change recently in the Rowing section, where you set the Semi-final and Final to "Did Not Advance". On checking the London 2012 website, it shows that India is still participating in the Semi-final of both events.

http://www.london2012.com/rowing/event/lightweight-men-double-sculls/index.html
Could you please explain?

I'm not sure. Even I'm confused after checking the website. And, as far as medal is concerned, not really an option. Look at their timings. A chance of participating in the final is the best we could expect. — Preceding

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees Grapple X ( submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees Muboshgu ( submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's Ruby2010 ( submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Mr. Compton,
I find it frustrating that you were so rapid notifying me of the deletion of the biography I create of MYSELF on Wikipedia, but when I replied to get that matter resolved, you have said nothing. Is there another process a person needs to go through to solve this issue? It would be courteous of you to at least acknowledge this communication.

Thank you so much for all the work you have put into Monmouthpedia, we really appreciate it very much :) Mrjohncummings ( talk) 18:24, 13 August 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you for your speedy deletion recommendation. I realize I did not justify it on the page directly as the justification was on another Wikipedia entry.
The reason I think it is important: Curia Market Research as an almost completely unknown market research company (intentionally so) that does extremely biased research on commission for political groups. Curia has over 200 studies all specifically related to important new zealand political groups. (Of interest to me as I work in market research.)
The group itself is not particularly relevant however their research is extremely important in the New Zealand Wikipedia entries for homosexuality, anti-smacking bill, legalized prostitution etc.
I originally mentioned curia in an edit of http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Same-sex_marriage_in_New_Zealand&pe=1&#Public_opinion And realized although it had significant relevance to the topic the justification of Curia's bias belonged on a separate wiki page.
The intent was allow linking from their research being used as sources in the other wikipedias to the curia page to avoid duplicate information and off topic discussion.
I have yet to insert the links where appropriate but curia research is discussed in at least 4 New Zealand based wikipedia entries that I know of.
Cheers

Hello Bill william compton, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kent Tate, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius ( have a chat) 04:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I am part of an effort to get Wikimedians access to the 2016 Summer Olympics as accredited reporters and photographers. Part of this effort includes covering the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Two Wikimedians have credentials to attend these games as reporters through Wikimedia Australia. As English Wikipedia does not allow original reporting, this is largely through Wikinews with a project page found at Wikinews:Paralympic Games. If you are interested in helping to get Wikimedians to the next Summer Olympics,I'd encourage you to assist with Wikinews efforts, and also to work on all language 2012 Summer Paralympic Wikipedia articles before, during and after the Games to demonstrate a track record of success. Thank you. -- LauraHale ( talk) 05:01, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry to report that there were not enough accounts available for you to have one. I have you on our list though and if more become available we will notify you promptly.
We're continually working to bring resources like Credo to Wikipedia editors, and this will very hopefully not be your last opportunity to sign up for one. If you haven't already, please check out WP:HighBeam and WP:Questia, where accounts are still available. Cheers, Ocaasi 19:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

A user from the 'help desk' sent me to the main page of Hindi language wikipedia, and I find your name on the history lists. I also want to edit on Hindi language Wikipedia but my username is blacklisted and banned meanwhile I never start to edit yet! Could you do something to help me log in and edit and to Get my name cleared on the Hindi language Wikipedia. Thankyou ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 23:05, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I think it is 'global' iv visited many wikipedias and my name was the same and I was allowed to edit, just not in Hindi Wikipedia, it somehow logs me out and when I try and log in it gives me this notice.
"<The user name "ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: (?!(User|Wikipedia|File)( talk)?:|Talk:)\P{L}*[^\p{Gurmukhi}\P{L}].*\p{Gurmukhi}.* # Gurmukhi + anything else>"
ands what's ' ping me ' means? ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 08:15, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
It appears from hi:MediaWiki:Titleblacklist that the Hindi Wikipedia does not allow page names and usernames in Gurmukhi and a lot of other scripts. The line I quote
(?!(User|Wikipedia|File)( talk)?:|Talk:)\P{L}*[^\p{Gurmukhi}\P{L}].*\p{Gurmukhi}.* # Gurmukhi + anything else is among many similar under POTENTIALLY CONFUSING MIXED-SCRIPT TITLES
Could you remove this from blacklist so that I can edit using Gurmukhi username. Gurmukhi is one of the scripts of the world and I think that is not a good reasoning to bann Gurmukhi in Hindi Wikipedia Any person who knows Hindi will Be able to tell the difference between Gurmukhi and Devanagari and it won't cause any sort of confusing. ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 11:05, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
"Login unification complete! You can now log in to any wiki site of the Wikimedia Foundation without creating a new account." my account is unified but because of the blacklisting in the Hindi wikipedia, it does not allow users with Gurmukhi punjabi usernames to login and edit. I assume you are an admin because you have edit history on Hindi Wikipedia main page, so im request you to remove the blacklisting entry against Gurmukhi punjabi usernames ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 13:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi "Bill" ... So we have moved on to an even more ambitious project. In this case we know we have a Hindi population so we are very interested in getting support on the Hindi Wikipedia. So I' after favours and hopefully suggesting sopme interesting things. Firstly, could you translate the templarte below into Hindi and add it to the Hindi Wikipedia "Village Pump"? Ive chhekliy signed it from you as you might want to be our rep, but if not then just delete that bit. Seconly we'd like you to consider signing up for the Gibraltar Challenge and encouraging others to compete too. Thirdly I'd like to thank you for your help on behalf of the project and I have at least found out who "Bill Wiklliam Compton" is in "real?" life.

We would like to invite you to contribute to the GibraltarpediA project, the world's first WIkipedia City. The project needs writers, photographers, translators and others to help build the first wiki city which bridges Europe and Africa. We are going to transform Gibraltar and the surrounding areas in Morocco and Spain into areas rich with encyclopedic content immediately accessible using QR codes and NFC on plaques for visitors and local people. There are prizes to reward contributors in the Gibraltarpedia Multilingual challenge for the best editors, photographs and cartographers... whoever you are. More at Gibraltarpedia.org (or ask me for help - Bill william compton) |
That looks great "bill", if you can post it on the Hindi talk page and anywhere else it might gain us some interest? This is worth four points in the competition so do sign up and claim your points. I do so love the look of the language! Victuallers ( talk) 14:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bill, I just learned that you wrote a stub for Gibraltar Harbour yesterday. I'm not sure whether you checked the list of articles for Gibraltarpedia before you started the stub. If you had, you might have noticed that someone was already working on an article on Gibraltar Harbour, namely me. (Articles that are in the process of being written are in light red.) I've been researching it extensively and started the draft on July 27th. (I've written numerous smaller articles to go with it.) Anne ( talk) 03:13, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: GreatOrangePumpkin ( submissions), Ealdgyth ( submissions), Calvin999 ( submissions), Piotrus ( submissions), Toa Nidhiki05 ( submissions), 12george1 ( submissions), The Bushranger ( submissions) and 1111tomica ( submissions). We hope to see you all next year.
On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Please note the notice at the top of Special:NewPages: "Pages should not be tagged for speedy deletion as having no context (CSD A1) or no content (CSD A3) moments after creation, as not all users will have added full content in their first revision" Thanks, Valenciano ( talk) 07:05, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi! There is an ongoing proposal at the project talkpage concerning the future of wikification, including possible deprecation of the {{ wikify}} template which is being discussed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 August 10. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for all the work you have put into Monmouthpedia, we really appreciate it very much :) Mrjohncummings ( talk) 18:24, 13 August 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you for your speedy deletion recommendation. I realize I did not justify it on the page directly as the justification was on another Wikipedia entry.
The reason I think it is important: Curia Market Research as an almost completely unknown market research company (intentionally so) that does extremely biased research on commission for political groups. Curia has over 200 studies all specifically related to important new zealand political groups. (Of interest to me as I work in market research.)
The group itself is not particularly relevant however their research is extremely important in the New Zealand Wikipedia entries for homosexuality, anti-smacking bill, legalized prostitution etc.
I originally mentioned curia in an edit of http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Same-sex_marriage_in_New_Zealand&pe=1&#Public_opinion And realized although it had significant relevance to the topic the justification of Curia's bias belonged on a separate wiki page.
The intent was allow linking from their research being used as sources in the other wikipedias to the curia page to avoid duplicate information and off topic discussion.
I have yet to insert the links where appropriate but curia research is discussed in at least 4 New Zealand based wikipedia entries that I know of.
Cheers

Hello Bill william compton, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kent Tate, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius ( have a chat) 04:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
On 16 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sahana Kumari, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that 2012 Indian Olympic high jumper Sahana Kumari qualified for the Games after breaking the eight-year-old national record? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sahana Kumari. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi. I am part of an effort to get Wikimedians access to the 2016 Summer Olympics as accredited reporters and photographers. Part of this effort includes covering the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Two Wikimedians have credentials to attend these games as reporters through Wikimedia Australia. As English Wikipedia does not allow original reporting, this is largely through Wikinews with a project page found at Wikinews:Paralympic Games. If you are interested in helping to get Wikimedians to the next Summer Olympics,I'd encourage you to assist with Wikinews efforts, and also to work on all language 2012 Summer Paralympic Wikipedia articles before, during and after the Games to demonstrate a track record of success. Thank you. -- LauraHale ( talk) 05:01, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry to report that there were not enough accounts available for you to have one. I have you on our list though and if more become available we will notify you promptly.
We're continually working to bring resources like Credo to Wikipedia editors, and this will very hopefully not be your last opportunity to sign up for one. If you haven't already, please check out WP:HighBeam and WP:Questia, where accounts are still available. Cheers, Ocaasi 19:11, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my RfA. I appreciate that you took the time to offer your perspective. I agree, I think I really ought to get back into content creation. That always has been the area I've most enjoyed on Wikipedia, whenever I'm active here at least.
Take care. =) Kurtis ( talk) 16:28, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
A user from the 'help desk' sent me to the main page of Hindi language wikipedia, and I find your name on the history lists. I also want to edit on Hindi language Wikipedia but my username is blacklisted and banned meanwhile I never start to edit yet! Could you do something to help me log in and edit and to Get my name cleared on the Hindi language Wikipedia. Thankyou ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 23:05, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
I think it is 'global' iv visited many wikipedias and my name was the same and I was allowed to edit, just not in Hindi Wikipedia, it somehow logs me out and when I try and log in it gives me this notice.
"<The user name "ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ" has been banned from creation. It matches the following blacklist entry: (?!(User|Wikipedia|File)( talk)?:|Talk:)\P{L}*[^\p{Gurmukhi}\P{L}].*\p{Gurmukhi}.* # Gurmukhi + anything else>"
ands what's ' ping me ' means? ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 08:15, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
It appears from hi:MediaWiki:Titleblacklist that the Hindi Wikipedia does not allow page names and usernames in Gurmukhi and a lot of other scripts. The line I quote
(?!(User|Wikipedia|File)( talk)?:|Talk:)\P{L}*[^\p{Gurmukhi}\P{L}].*\p{Gurmukhi}.* # Gurmukhi + anything else is among many similar under POTENTIALLY CONFUSING MIXED-SCRIPT TITLES
Could you remove this from blacklist so that I can edit using Gurmukhi username. Gurmukhi is one of the scripts of the world and I think that is not a good reasoning to bann Gurmukhi in Hindi Wikipedia Any person who knows Hindi will Be able to tell the difference between Gurmukhi and Devanagari and it won't cause any sort of confusing. ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 11:05, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
"Login unification complete! You can now log in to any wiki site of the Wikimedia Foundation without creating a new account." my account is unified but because of the blacklisting in the Hindi wikipedia, it does not allow users with Gurmukhi punjabi usernames to login and edit. I assume you are an admin because you have edit history on Hindi Wikipedia main page, so im request you to remove the blacklisting entry against Gurmukhi punjabi usernames ਰਾਜੇਨ੍ਦ੍ਰ ਸਿੰਘ ( talk) 13:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

We would like to invite you to contribute to the GibraltarpediA project, the world's first WIkipedia City. The project needs writers, photographers, translators and others to help build the first wiki city which bridges Europe and Africa. We are going to transform Gibraltar and the surrounding areas in Morocco and Spain into areas rich with encyclopedic content immediately accessible using QR codes and NFC on plaques for visitors and local people. There are prizes to reward contributors in the Gibraltarpedia Multilingual challenge for the best editors, photographs and cartographers... whoever you are. More at Gibraltarpedia.org (or ask me for help - Bill william compton) |
That looks great "bill", if you can post it on the Hindi talk page and anywhere else it might gain us some interest? This is worth four points in the competition so do sign up and claim your points. I do so love the look of the language! Victuallers ( talk) 14:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Good news! You are approved for access to 80 million articles in 6500 publications through HighBeam Research.
Thanks for helping make Wikipedia better. Enjoy your research! Cheers, Ocaasi 15:26, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bill, I just learned that you wrote a stub for Gibraltar Harbour yesterday. I'm not sure whether you checked the list of articles for Gibraltarpedia before you started the stub. If you had, you might have noticed that someone was already working on an article on Gibraltar Harbour, namely me. (Articles that are in the process of being written are in light red.) I've been researching it extensively and started the draft on July 27th. (I've written numerous smaller articles to go with it.) Anne ( talk) 03:13, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: GreatOrangePumpkin ( submissions), Ealdgyth ( submissions), Calvin999 ( submissions), Piotrus ( submissions), Toa Nidhiki05 ( submissions), 12george1 ( submissions), The Bushranger ( submissions) and 1111tomica ( submissions). We hope to see you all next year.
On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi. Any chance you could work on Tonga at the 2012 Summer Paralympics, Vanuatu at the 2012 Summer Paralympics, Samoa at the 2012 Summer Paralympics Fiji at the 2012 Summer Paralympics, Solomon Islands at the 2012 Summer Paralympics and Papua New Guinea at the 2012 Summer Paralympics? Each country sent one or two athletes. Only one won a medal. We're planning to print these articles in a book for distribution to the NPCs by the Oceania Paralympic Committee and you do a really good job on these small nation articles at various sporting events. -- LauraHale ( talk) 19:25, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
