@SpacemanSpiff: We have the same @Mayasutra-like behavior on Talk:Arthashastra page. A dormant account has become active, and the user has started editwarring with, "I don't care how many scholars you present who..." and "I will NOT allow you to misrepresent my civilization's heritage...".

Hi. I am requesting more information regarding your speedy deletion of the "Tushar Unadkat" page. I would like to put this page in motion, as Unadkat's social and cultural standing and qualifications (artistically speaking) come second to promotion. In other words, as a celebrity and artist in the South Asian sphere, is it my belief that he qualifies a Wikipedia page. Perhaps, instead, I should write the article without reference to his company? And I also do not quite understand how it has been said to be copied from another source, as I took this on board and paraphrased it all so as to make it better. I'm not sure if you saw this second copy. All the best, Daniel. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danieljasonbinks ( talk • contribs) 16:59, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Is it the right way to start an RfC at Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#RfC:Muncipality_.28civic_bodies.29_of_a_town_pages?-- Vin09 (talk) 09:22, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
I am writing to respectfully protest the deletion of an article entitled "Haunted Knoxville Ghost Tours." The article was deleted because it was said to be advertising. Nothing could be further from the truth. I wrote the story after reading a similar article written for Banjo Billy's Bus Tours. The two articles are very similar. You have published Banjo Billy's but deleted mine. I would like to make some changes to the story if you feel it would be helpful and resubmit it. I would prefer that you simply undelete the story. What must I do to make it acceptable? I would like to have the story posted under the /info/en/?search=Category:Ghost_tours category.
Thank you for your consideration,

Hello,
I have tried to add some new and relevant information to the article about India. Citations are available for all the facts added, and I believe that consensus is achievable for facts already recognised on other Wikipedia pages. The new information adds a summary about the geopolitical role of India which, as mentioned, is already expressed in the rest of the article. I look forward to your reply and assistance.
Thanks,

Dear SpacemanSpiff, I am Ellen Cooper, a new member of WIKI. I have long been an active user of Dingtone free calling app so I created the Dingtone page. The article of Dingtone is my first article on Wiki. I am sorry if it appears inappropriate and I was wondering if you could recover the article and offer me some advise on how it should be amended. Your feedback would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ellen Cooper ( talk) 01:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Dear Spaceman Spiff,
I had made the wikipedia article - "Mohan Joshi - Spiritual Healer" at the behest of Mr. Joshi himself. He provided me with the profile picture which you say to be copyrighted. I can have Mr. Joshi confirm for you that he has no issues with the profile pic you saw. Could you please provide your email?
Otherwise - Mr. Joshi's email is healmohan@yahoo.co.in. You can check with him to confirm that the profile pic is okay. Would really appreciate it if you could check with him, and un-delete the article, which took me a few hours to write. Otherwise, I will have to write it again from scratch.

SpacemanSpiff, Because of the unique and unusual page name content at "INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS" I contributed towards that some Wikimedia members (and you were latest member to delete my talk page content at "INTERNATIONAL_SOCIETY_FOR_KRISHNA_CONSCIOUSNESS") there is no question of me being partisan and partial and what you call COI. The limitation lies with the deleters in not taking time to read the contributed content to understand. Please let me describe what I mean - usually on Wikipedia content there are content boundaries like there is on a political map and where you apply COI procedure. This conditioning does not work when there is a geographical map and not any political map.Cyan4 (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2016 (UTC) Cyan4 ( talk) 22:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey Spiff. What does one do with reference spamming? See [1], [2] and [3]. Could be many other IPs. Is there a bot that will remove the whole lot? -- regentspark ( comment) 22:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I really think a bot won't work. I can't see how it could work with Burjor Avari. Wish it would though. Doug Weller talk 17:34, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Recently an image of sketch Padma Vibhushan medal was deleted as copyvio from Commons. I went on to request undeletion at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive/2016-05#File:Padma_Vibhushan_India_Ie_Klasse.jpg but forgot about it and never replied there. However, two arguments were made there that I am looking answers for. First was whether the medal was PD on 1st Jan 1996. Well, it was not. But shouldn’t URAA not be the only reason for deletion? Secondly it was put forth that coins/medals and for that matter stamps and such stuff also are actually created by non-government employee and hence should not fall under 60years PD rule of government works? If that is so, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Currency#India should be mended right? §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 11:27, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
I know this guy personally. We all believed he is an international designer. Even national newspapers believed this guy.
I saw these two news which covered the story:
http://odishasuntimes.com/2016/03/18/exclusive-interview-fashion-designer-pritam-panda-expose/
http://odishasuntimes.com/2016/03/19/pritam-panda-expose-exclusive-interview-ram-ratan/
Odishasuntimes also found out that he claimed to have fashion degree from a French university, but that university don't give fashion degrees.
In 2010, TimesofIndia, Calcutta Telegraph and newindianexpress published that he got World Chopard Young Entrepreneur Award 2010. But google search shows there is no awards as "World Chopard Young Entrepreneur Award 2010". The search results are about news reports mentioning him being the recipient.
In 2013, once again national newspapers reported that he got Murex Global Fashion award. Again google results don't show anything about "Murex Global Fashion award". Even this time the search results are about him getiing the award
Now a facebook user has uploaded many pics which showed and proved beyond doubt that he has photoshopped/morphed pictures of Arabian models and designer with his own face. What baffles me is that why reporters from national newspapers didn't verify when this guy posted those fake facebook pictures?
I checked the facebook account of the user who exposed him after reading the news and found the original pictures. He has deleted the images, but snapshot exists.
Now should the article be kept or deleted? As the sources are reliable but the stories are fake? 182.66.54.206 ( talk) 10:22, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Omg, I just saw this SPI. That article is hilarious! I didn't know political parties in India actually hire people to look after their online presence though. I will have a closer look at the account's edits later. Great job! -- Lemongirl942 ( talk) 11:50, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
Contacting you since you are one of the few people on enwiki I have interacted with. Apologising in advance since this is not something you are directly involved with.
The page Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad has been blanked due to supposed copyright violation. The page has stayed this way for more than a month now, with no activity at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems. There has been no discussion about how much of the page violates copyright, and it is unfortunate that the entire article about a major institute in India with nearly a decade of wiki history stays in limbo like this. Can something be done about this page one way or the other? I mean, even if the page is entirely purged, someone could build it from scratch. But the way it is right now, no one is going to dare to touch it.
