The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | |
For joining IPL Wikiproject. Delivered on behalf of the IPL Wikiproject team. Dipankan says.. ( "Be bold and edit!") 11:11, 17 April 2012 (UTC) |
Thank you for the barnstar and the kind words. But, crap, somebody noticed me. That can't happen. Um, there will be a knock on your door. Don't worry, the person has a toy gun. :) Bgwhite ( talk) 19:36, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the edit summary omission. As for "unreferenced" tag, I see its usage as a waste of time of wikipedians: as soon as someone adds a single minor reference, he has the legal right to remove the tag, so that you have to keep an eye and renew tagging. (And I've seen done so.) In other words, I don't see the need to have a watershed between a completely unreferenced page and a page with a single footnote. One kind of tag is enough. And the reason that I tagged nearly every phrase is that in 1-2 months I am going to delete this text, if left unreferenced. If I leave any of it untagged, the wrath of Shiva (or Kali) will be imlemented unto me by some IP warrior. Staszek Lem ( talk) 00:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
P.S. I occasionally run into a wikipedia artile about topics related to Indian subcontinent, and very often I am baffled with a significant disregard of wikipedia policies. Why don't you colleagues set up a project to do a massive cleanup of the articles on these subjects? There are hundreds of pages about gurus and swamis nobody heard about outside India (or even outside Kerala), written in ...er... a very non-neutral tone. Almost every page about an Indian surname is unreferenced mythology, etc. I see this often when I look into wikipedias in other languages, with less strict policies. So I have an impression that there is a separate Indo-English Wikipedia inside English Wikipedia :-) Staszek Lem ( talk) 00:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Can you make a list of "those hundreds of pages" please? You can post the list below-- Tito Dutta (Message) 00:28, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Titodutta! Thank you for signing up to be a future host at the Teahouse. Well, great news - the future is here, we'd love you to be a Teahouse host! During this pilot time, Teahouse hosts do more than just ask questions - they invite new users to the Teahouse and track those invitations, they also provide input and insight into the development of the Teahouse. A few things I'd love to see you do as a Teahouse host:
I'm so happy that you volunteered to lend a hand at the Teahouse. I look forward to following your contributions and invitations, and your assistance in making the Teahouse a great and warm place for new Wikipedians. See you there :) Sarah ( talk) 01:47, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Titodutta, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again — Welcome! Northamerica1000 (talk) 11:02, 18 April 2012 (UTC) |

Hi. When you recently edited Garfa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kasba ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
