Please justify your tagging of the page K Bhogishayana as Peacock. Everything in it is sourced except for two minor details which will be shortly. It is all verified, and verified details on a highly notable Figure is not Peacock. Ldm1954 ( talk) 14:57, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
This made a tremendous impression on the students, making the incident and the man legend among student circles for generations at the college
Feared and revered, the students nicknamed him “Boss." An intellectual himself, he still valued students who were athletes.
Considered a distinguished teacher, he had a strong social commitment beyond education to molding the lives and character of his students.
Bhogishayana grew the college into one of the best academic institutions in the region in his role as principal.
Compared to most academics on Wikipedia he is far, far better and independently sourcedis not a valid argument, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
PhD students from India often take postdoc positions outside the country, and the level is typically competitive with Europe and US/Canada. Similarly the level of many undergraduate degrees is comparable.I agree since I'm in a similar position IRL :) However, the second statement does not really track due to the existence of prolific degree mills and insufficient scrutiny of academic malpractises (such as plagarism) in the country. Sohom ( talk) 09:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Since I have been external examiner I do not agree with your statements about the level at major universities in IndiaI disagree but I will take your words at face value :)
It depends upon discipline, but I would not count 5 citations as meaningful. I also know of several theses which are better cited than papers, going back to Maxwell but still others to this day. Often theses contain information and details omitted from "then a miracle occurs" papers.Exactly my point here, which university publishes it is irrelevant. Unless it has been peer reviewed and cited by others, a PhD thesis (or for that matter a research paper) is nothing more than a slightly more rigorous blog post describing something that the researcher has theorized, observed or proposed (figuratively speaking) and would be unreliable. The citations are what lends the paper it's legitimacy.
Describing material from an Indian state university as unreliable is stretching things a bit.I don't think it is imo, based on what I said above. The fact that is coming from a Indian state university amounts to nothing compared to other factors such as what level of peer-review the work (the most readily availiable metric of which is citation count) has been subjected to, the affiliations of the author and the independence of the publisher of the work.

Hi Soham. You had very kindly reviewed this Afc article /info/en/?search=Draft:Vinod_Tewary in September and given your valuable comments. Based on your comments I have added 3 non-primary references for the research work, and 2 new references for the awards. For the other awards, the article cites Vinod Tewary's main NIST page. NIST is a reputed, authentic, US govt source, and these awards are old. This is the best citation I could find for them.
Request you to please re-review the article and approve it if you find it acceptable now. Thank you! and Happy 2024! Vanimurarka ( talk) 11:34, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Sohom, I just wanted to thank you for your opinion expressed at the MfD discussion regarding Akhand Bharat, regardless of the final outcome of that discussion. Your opinion is even more valuable and important since you are from India, and you look at the issue in question from a civic point of view, instead from a nationalistic/irredentist one... And, completely unrelated – as you are from India, I wanted to ask for your opinion about Celina Jaitly, her activism etc. I myself am a fan or her, from a European's perspective; some years ago, I followed her involvement in activism to repeal Section 377, role in the relaunch of Bombay Dost and related gay rights issues. I also created this userbox about her, a couple of years ago. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 07:51, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to
Vami_IV (
submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five
A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two
Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on
completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his
to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, History sniffing), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hi Soham. You had very kindly reviewed this Afc article /info/en/?search=Draft:Vinod_Tewary in September and given your valuable comments. Based on your comments I have added 3 non-primary references for the research work, and 2 new references for the awards. For the other awards, the article cites Vinod Tewary's main NIST page. NIST is a reputed, authentic, US govt source, and these awards are old. This is the best citation I could find for them.
Request you to please re-review the article and approve it if you find it acceptable now. Thank you! and Happy 2024! Vanimurarka ( talk) 11:34, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

| Hello, Sohom Datta. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Cross-site leaks at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 00:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC) |
Sohom, I just wanted to thank you for your opinion expressed at the MfD discussion regarding Akhand Bharat, regardless of the final outcome of that discussion. Your opinion is even more valuable and important since you are from India, and you look at the issue in question from a civic point of view, instead from a nationalistic/irredentist one... And, completely unrelated – as you are from India, I wanted to ask for your opinion about Celina Jaitly, her activism etc. I myself am a fan or her, from a European's perspective; some years ago, I followed her involvement in activism to repeal Section 377, role in the relaunch of Bombay Dost and related gay rights issues. I also created this userbox about her, a couple of years ago. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 07:51, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer
Generalissima (
submissions), who has one FA on
John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thank you for quality articles about Indian topics and computer security, such as Delulu, Cross-site leaks, History sniffing, DOM clobbering and Hindu Mela, for patrolling new pages and articles for creation, for "it seems like I'm the youngest (in wikiyears) on the page", for missing, - Sohom, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to
Vami_IV (
submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five
A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two
Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on
completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his
to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
