Hello Mr. Shyamal,
I'm the great-niece of Mr. S. A. Hussain (1942-2010), and the daughter of Mr. Hussain's niece Mrs. Yasmin Ahmed I.A.S. (1945-2014).
I have been aware of my grand uncle's Wikipedia page for a long while, but only a few days ago did I attempt to add content to his personal history. By the way, my great grandfather's name (i.e. S. A. Hussain's father) is actually incorrect. I did correct his name as well.
All this time I didn't know how to contact the site admins, but today, when exploring the page, I realized that I could perhaps contact you this way. I hope this message reaches you.
I understand that you didn't know who I was and how I'm related to S. A. Hussain. Hence, I wish to explain that if edits were made, then they were made with some authentic knowledge of the subject's history. Therefore I humbly request you to add my content to my grand uncle's wiki page, thank you very much.
Sincerely, Amina Ahmed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:243:405:1F40:2806:98D8:3144:F479 ( talk) 13:58, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Let me know if you need more assistance. Shyamal ( talk) 14:16, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Shyamal. I was wondering what makes a page "semi-protected" like the Calcutta page has shown by the lock symbol? Does the page need to have certain information for this to happen or go through reviews? And a slightly different subject, how do I go about creating a new page about a person? I remember you had mentioned that is a long process. I can provide all the information about a person for whom I would like the new page and work with you for the creation (assuming that is possible). Please let me know. -- SShasana9 ( talk) 02:07, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Shyamal: I hope that your year is off to a good start. I've just brought preening to GA, and the reviewer has recommended that I carry on to the FA lion's den (which is where I'd planned to bring it eventually). I'd like to list you as a co-nominator, since you were the one who started it. Are you game? MeegsC ( talk) 17:43, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi Shyamal: Given your expertise with a mousepad, I'm wondering if I could "commission" you to do a drawing or two for the preening article. I'm being asked to provide a better diagram showing the structure of a feather (i.e. shaft, barbs, barbules, barbicels with their hooks) and I can't find anything decent available CC online. Would you have time? Or could you suggest someone who might? MeegsC ( talk) 17:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
Thank you for posting about the life and career of my grandmother, Nettie Murray MacGinitie. However the photo you have used for her, while taken in 1910, was not published in 1910. It was kept in our private family collection. It was published first on the website you cite as a source, http://www.genjourney.net/KurzKatherinePage.htm which of course was after the invention of the internet. That website also says that the contents are copyrighted.
Please remove the photo of Nettie Murray's family from /info/en/?search=File:Nettie_Murray_1910.jpg and /info/en/?search=Nettie_MacGinitie

On 7 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nasarvanji Hormusji Choksy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Indian doctor Nasarvanji Hormusji Choksy, who worked to improve public health, contracted bubonic plague three times? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nasarvanji Hormusji Choksy. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Nasarvanji Hormusji Choksy), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hi, I've just ordered a new biography of this person (the retitled paperback version of the Boase book), and having recently taken Emma Louisa Turner to FA, I thought of doing the same to this once I have the book. I see you are the major contributor at present, do you want to co-nominate? The book title is Etta Lemon, so it might be appropriate to move the page at some stage. Do you have access to the two dictionaries listed in the refs (may not matter)? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:10, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
I can't find anything more to add, and I can't see any unfixed problems (doesn't mean that there aren't any). I'm suggesting that we take this to FAC soon. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
@ Jimfbleak: it would appear that this image here from Surrey History Centre Archives - from a 1913 album - 'Borough of Reigate Jubilee year of incorporation: some portraits' by H P Robinson and Son, Redhill- https://www.exploringsurreyspast.org.uk/collections/getrecord/SHCOL_6918_1_4_1_4 - would be pd-1923 and save a lot of the fair-use issues.

Can you have a look at Subhas Chandra Bose? The Fowler&fowler ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has started edit warrings. He already got three eddit warring warnings in this month. I tried to improve the readability of the lead of the article but he reverted it without giving any valid reason other than consensus, which I think isn't needed here as I wasn't removing any content. In the end he has disrupted the lead in revenge. Also he is adding false sources for his content as apparent on my last revert, which I have taken back. The source doesn't mention the facts he is claiming to be there and now he is telling me that he don't have the book at the moment and that's why he did it.
Looking for an unbiased third party opinion. Please take a look. Akshaypatill ( talk) 05:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey Shyamal: I'm sure you know who I mean. I found a cropped version of this photo File:Western_ghats_rainforest,_nilgiris.jpg on the cover of a newsletter by the Rainforest Trust, see https://online.anyflip.com/zzrd/myic/mobile/index.html. Rhett Butler, founder of Mongobay, took similar photos using a DJI drone in Peru, see e.g. this one at https://travel.mongabay.com/peru/images/amazon_200238.html. He made some 300 photos taken in Peru available, several for free download. So highly likely that the pretender's one is among them. I haven't come across anyone cheating as much as the pretender did, so think it worthwhile to check his future edits rigorously. Cheers – BhagyaMani ( talk) 12:37, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey Shyamal: I'm afraid s/he again uploaded an array of images to Commons, allegedly taken during a night safari in Mudumalai NP. But their quality is so low that these are surely part of vdos. So I looked at several night-time vdos by Jasoprakas Debdas & colleagues. Compare the frame at minute 6:10 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LdnGhI9yUE with this image File:Night ride in Mudumalai - Huge tusker.jpg. I'll tag it for speedy deletion as soon as you let me know that you have seen it. – BhagyaMani ( talk) 22:10, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey again: apparently, a new editor is following in Shaan Vinoth's footsteps and uploaded at least 2 images violating copyright of original photographers. Shaan Vinoth inserted these within less than 5 minutes after the former had uploaded images, and many more in the guy's upload list are unchecked. I suggest to refrain from displaying their images in any page. What do you think? – BhagyaMani ( talk) 12:01, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
Many thanks.As we are Torben was a naturalist in the classical tradition. There is a matter which still troubles me.With the advent of maths as misunderstood Hennig (cladistics) and misapplied chemistry (DNA) we lost faith in the very foundation of our own science.Worse we discouraged the very able members of our own ranks not given to this spurious modernity.The French were, I think, less gullible (see Sciences Nat.Torben in my book was an Apostle of Linnaeus as indeed was the maligned Bernard d'Abrera. Nice to hear from you Robert Notafly ( talk) 21:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC) Ps Time passes quickly now that I am 76.
Hey Shyamal: you may have noticed that I overhauled this page, i.e. removed unsourced + added sourced content. At present, this page is rated C-class. Would you find some time to review it + perhaps upgrade it to B?
There is still a wealth of material to add as so much research has been conducted in the past 3+ decades. I'll continue to work on this in the next days, and later perhaps GAN it, if you think it'll be worthwhile. Cheers,

Hi there,
I was told the draft for Dr Sean Bush was /info/en/?search=Draft:Sean_Bush meets the Wikipedia Notability for Academia by Wiki Admin Jim (Cullen328), however, he asked it to be reviewed by a topic expert and someone in the science and academia group or ask for help through the TeaHouse. I've reached out to TeaHouse and they also directed me to the WikiProject Science and Academmia Group. I'm reaching out to you on hopes you can review the page for notability. I noticed you have been watching links to spiders and snakes so thought Dr. Bush's page would be a good fit for your review.
Much appreciated, Nicole Beansalad3 ( talk) 03:39, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
I think that Wikipedia:Notability (academics) is relevant here. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
And there you have it. Cullen328 is a reviewer and an admin and (IMHO) whatever he says goes. I still think the article needs to be more focused but at least you know that notability will be met. (Thanks Cullen328.) JSFarman (talk) 19:46, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind words, JSFarman, but I am just another editor with a few extra buttons. What needs to be determined is the impact of his work which has been published in peer reviewed academic journals on other academics, which usually means how frequently his work is cited in other academic journal articles. This is not an area where I have expertise (I only have a bachelor's degree) but I am just bringing this forth as a strong possibility based on what I see in the draft. Technically, I am a reviewer because I am an administrator, but I only occasionally accept AFC drafts. If any editor who is skilled in assessing academic notability concludes that he is notable, I will accept it. And I will look more deeply. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:51, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Using the Google Scholar search tool, I see that academic journal articles with him as the lead author being cited 93, 86 and 77 times. I see articles with him as a co-author being cited 159, 91 and 52 times. And there are many more cited articles. That is very positive evidence, in my opinion. Possibly, snakebite scholars are cited more than scholars working in less dramatic topic areas. I do not know about that, but I do believe that this draft deserves a topic expert assessment. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Shyamal,
When I came across this article, my first thought was "hmm, "Sunker" would appear to be a bad transliteration of Shankar (name)", analogous to how Thakur is "anglicised" as "Tagore".
The BBC has a 1999 article about Shankar Abaji Bhisey who would appear to be the same person.
Unless Bhisey's forename is most the one commonly used in reliable English language sources as "Sunker", it would appear me that its should be moved to an article of the title Shankar Abaji Bhisey.
I would appreciate your thoughts and expertise about this

I can't find anything more to add, and I can't see any unfixed problems (doesn't mean that there aren't any). I'm suggesting that we take this to FAC soon. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
@ Jimfbleak: it would appear that this image here from Surrey History Centre Archives - from a 1913 album - 'Borough of Reigate Jubilee year of incorporation: some portraits' by H P Robinson and Son, Redhill- https://www.exploringsurreyspast.org.uk/collections/getrecord/SHCOL_6918_1_4_1_4 - would be pd-1923 and save a lot of the fair-use issues.

Hello,
WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2021 has started. The India WikiProject has a backlog of around 10,000 unassessed articles, built up over the last few years. The time has come for comprehensive housekeeping and that's what this drive is all about. The drive will run from 1 September 2021 to 30 September 2021.
We request you to participate in the assessment drive. Learn more about the event here, learn assessment process and rewards details. Please add your name as a participant here.
Feel free to discuss this on the event talk page or at WikiProject India noticeboard.

Can you have a look at Subhas Chandra Bose? The Fowler&fowler ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has started edit warrings. He already got three eddit warring warnings in this month. I tried to improve the readability of the lead of the article but he reverted it without giving any valid reason other than consensus, which I think isn't needed here as I wasn't removing any content. In the end he has disrupted the lead in revenge. Also he is adding false sources for his content as apparent on my last revert, which I have taken back. The source doesn't mention the facts he is claiming to be there and now he is telling me that he don't have the book at the moment and that's why he did it.
Looking for an unbiased third party opinion. Please take a look. Akshaypatill ( talk) 05:00, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey Shyamal: I'm sure you know who I mean. I found a cropped version of this photo File:Western_ghats_rainforest,_nilgiris.jpg on the cover of a newsletter by the Rainforest Trust, see https://online.anyflip.com/zzrd/myic/mobile/index.html. Rhett Butler, founder of Mongobay, took similar photos using a DJI drone in Peru, see e.g. this one at https://travel.mongabay.com/peru/images/amazon_200238.html. He made some 300 photos taken in Peru available, several for free download. So highly likely that the pretender's one is among them. I haven't come across anyone cheating as much as the pretender did, so think it worthwhile to check his future edits rigorously. Cheers – BhagyaMani ( talk) 12:37, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Hey Shyamal: I'm afraid s/he again uploaded an array of images to Commons, allegedly taken during a night safari in Mudumalai NP. But their quality is so low that these are surely part of vdos. So I looked at several night-time vdos by Jasoprakas Debdas & colleagues. Compare the frame at minute 6:10 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LdnGhI9yUE with this image File:Night ride in Mudumalai - Huge tusker.jpg. I'll tag it for speedy deletion as soon as you let me know that you have seen it. – BhagyaMani ( talk) 22:10, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Hey again: apparently, a new editor is following in Shaan Vinoth's footsteps and uploaded at least 2 images violating copyright of original photographers. Shaan Vinoth inserted these within less than 5 minutes after the former had uploaded images, and many more in the guy's upload list are unchecked. I suggest to refrain from displaying their images in any page. What do you think? – BhagyaMani ( talk) 12:01, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
Many thanks.As we are Torben was a naturalist in the classical tradition. There is a matter which still troubles me.With the advent of maths as misunderstood Hennig (cladistics) and misapplied chemistry (DNA) we lost faith in the very foundation of our own science.Worse we discouraged the very able members of our own ranks not given to this spurious modernity.The French were, I think, less gullible (see Sciences Nat.Torben in my book was an Apostle of Linnaeus as indeed was the maligned Bernard d'Abrera. Nice to hear from you Robert Notafly ( talk) 21:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC) Ps Time passes quickly now that I am 76.
Hey Shyamal: you may have noticed that I overhauled this page, i.e. removed unsourced + added sourced content. At present, this page is rated C-class. Would you find some time to review it + perhaps upgrade it to B?
There is still a wealth of material to add as so much research has been conducted in the past 3+ decades. I'll continue to work on this in the next days, and later perhaps GAN it, if you think it'll be worthwhile. Cheers,

News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2021).
A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now. To find out when the change has gone live or if you have any questions please visit the Administrator's Noticeboard. 20:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

We are going towards a new year. Wanted to give a heads up and thank for your relentless and tireless work to improve Wikipedia. Regards, -- Titodutta ( talk) 16:38, 30 December 2021 (UTC) |
Hi there,
I was told the draft for Dr Sean Bush was /info/en/?search=Draft:Sean_Bush meets the Wikipedia Notability for Academia by Wiki Admin Jim (Cullen328), however, he asked it to be reviewed by a topic expert and someone in the science and academia group or ask for help through the TeaHouse. I've reached out to TeaHouse and they also directed me to the WikiProject Science and Academmia Group. I'm reaching out to you on hopes you can review the page for notability. I noticed you have been watching links to spiders and snakes so thought Dr. Bush's page would be a good fit for your review.
Much appreciated, Nicole Beansalad3 ( talk) 03:39, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
I think that Wikipedia:Notability (academics) is relevant here. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 19:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
And there you have it. Cullen328 is a reviewer and an admin and (IMHO) whatever he says goes. I still think the article needs to be more focused but at least you know that notability will be met. (Thanks Cullen328.) JSFarman (talk) 19:46, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind words, JSFarman, but I am just another editor with a few extra buttons. What needs to be determined is the impact of his work which has been published in peer reviewed academic journals on other academics, which usually means how frequently his work is cited in other academic journal articles. This is not an area where I have expertise (I only have a bachelor's degree) but I am just bringing this forth as a strong possibility based on what I see in the draft. Technically, I am a reviewer because I am an administrator, but I only occasionally accept AFC drafts. If any editor who is skilled in assessing academic notability concludes that he is notable, I will accept it. And I will look more deeply. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:51, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Using the Google Scholar search tool, I see that academic journal articles with him as the lead author being cited 93, 86 and 77 times. I see articles with him as a co-author being cited 159, 91 and 52 times. And there are many more cited articles. That is very positive evidence, in my opinion. Possibly, snakebite scholars are cited more than scholars working in less dramatic topic areas. I do not know about that, but I do believe that this draft deserves a topic expert assessment. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:41, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Shyamal,
When I came across this article, my first thought was "hmm, "Sunker" would appear to be a bad transliteration of Shankar (name)", analogous to how Thakur is "anglicised" as "Tagore".
The BBC has a 1999 article about Shankar Abaji Bhisey who would appear to be the same person.
Unless Bhisey's forename is most the one commonly used in reliable English language sources as "Sunker", it would appear me that its should be moved to an article of the title Shankar Abaji Bhisey.
I would appreciate your thoughts and expertise about this
