Sir, I do not know whether I am permitted to contact you at this stage while the review is on. Please forgive my intervention. As I understand presently the main concern is about the non- encyclopedic tone of the article and verifiability of the references.You are kindly aware that this is my first attempt to post an article. I have drafted it in accordance with the kind of English I had learnt at the school level. Moreover,I am not a regular writer of English and therefore not conversant with different styles, requirements etc;. Secondly, I have already said that the references I have drawn are from the books etc; I could procure; and now, I assure you that the translation of the citations done by me is correct and there is no reason why they cannot be relied upon. Only because the books etc; relied upon by me are not available online while they do exist please do not assume that the article is lacking clear reliable sources. You have been very helpful but I beg of you not to discount all of my sincere efforts thus. Of course, it will take some time for me to pick up the non-encyclopedic type of writing,I would appreciate some help in this regard. Sir, by addressing these few words I am in no way trying to influence your judgement which I respect.Thanks.Yours Tarun marwaha ( talk) 03:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:KICA (AM) logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Like I said, Wikipedia is not a news source. Once more details are confirmed, then we can add them to his biography. But, as of this point, all we know are some unclear details. It's not fair to put them into already an article chronicling the man's life. aido2002 talk· userpage 15:39, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Check the source New York Times article carefully, I made the same mistake by miss-reading it, see Talk:2010 Alaska plane crash#Investigation (or my latest contributions). - 84user ( talk) 23:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Can you give me tips on footnotes? What was wrong with the way I did it? I clicked the reference icon on the toolbar and pasted in the URLs. I notice frequently a bot or an editor comes along behind me and adds stuff incomprehensible to me. I'd appreciate your advice. -- Yopienso ( talk) 03:27, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
If you must template the regulars, please try not to leave a "Welcome to Wikipedia" note on someone with 20K edits. :-) Thanks! -- SarekOfVulcan ( talk) 11:58, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Our article on regional differences and dialects in Indian English may prove to be partially enlightening in this discussion. Uncle G ( talk) 00:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Such expressions of rage are to be expected from certain editors. Sadly the consensus seems to be that we just accept it and move on. WikiuserNI ( talk) 16:49, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Be careful who you mess with. It has been a
long time since I was last banned. I am too
valuable to the project now so back off or else...

I didn't understand it - there was nothing in that article, or in the category itself, to explain why it was added, and a reader couldn't figure it out because "Wallace and Gromit" isn't a song - if the category had been added to, say, The MTA Song then at least a connection would have been obvious. A category that points to article which gives no indication about *why* the article is in that category is at best pointless and at worst confusing. Don't you think? I see that you have explained it in the article, now. That seems fine to me. - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 16:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity, why did you remove the "space shuttle wakeup songs" category? You had certainly convinced me, with your edits, that it was appropriate! - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 12:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
