Hello, Titodutta. I spotted your name in my watchlist, and am impressed and full of admiration that you contribute so many edits to Wikipedia. Thought I would just drop by and make a very minor point. I noticed you put two articles, Sindre and Goodacre into the disambiguation category. Although they look just like disambiguation pages, technically they are not, and they shouldn't be in this category.
The relevant section in the Manual of Style is MOS:DABNAME, where it says, "Articles only listing persons with a certain given name or surname, known as anthroponymy articles, are not disambiguation pages, and this Manual of Style does not apply to them. Anthroponymy articles follow their own style standards. For those articles, do not use {{ disambig}} or {{ hndis}}, but {{ given name}} or {{ surname}} instead."
Since they are not disambiguation pages, they don't go in the disambiguation category. Thought this might save you spending time on edits that will be reverted. Best wishes and thanks for all your hard work on Wikipedia. — Hebrides ( talk) 06:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
In a few days I'll see what I can do :) WhisperToMe ( talk) 13:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using ( This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! – pjoef ( talk • contribs) 14:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for replying, Tito. Yes, there aren't many news pieces. How can I delete his page so that it doesn't appear as a link to the speedy deletion page? When you click on it in Google, it leads to the speedy deletion page. How can that be removed?
Best Wishes Radhika

It's a good idea to work on articles in your sandbox before putting them on the site itself. New page patrollers will tag any new page that needs it. That's the point of new page patrolling. A new page that has been properly worked up in a sandbox won't attract tags. In particular, relying only on the Yellow Pages as a ref is bound to raise questions.

Hey Tito! Can you please try to work on this article? I created it with an intention to mention the group theatre in Kolkata article, so that that mention in Kolkata can be wikilinked to this article. This article needs to be expanded. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 00:58, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
The page is now a disambiguation page. Have a look, and create the article on actor. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 03:01, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello just saw your message. Can you explain to me what a Disambiguation link is and what the notifications means? how do I fix it? ( Monkelese ( talk) 03:05, 10 March 2012 (UTC))
Hi Mr. Dutta, Sorry about that. I was unsure what to do with the message, as you had already responded to the question and no one else seemed interested. So, I deleted it. I'm afraid I'm going to make a few blunders like this until I get used to Wikipedia practices...but I did not intend to offend. I apologize if I did.

Hi! It is a good news that you have nominated the article for GA review. The process is variable in terms of time needed. If there is any interested reviewer, it might be done quickly. On the other hand, it may stay there for months.
I am not much familiar with the current GA criteria, so would wait for someone who does this regularly. However, if even after a considerable period of time nobody reviews it, I will do. In the mean time, I would try to suggest improvement, if any.
This definitely is a good start. Following GA, you can prepare for FA, preceded by a peer review. It feels extremely ecstatic to see someone from Kolkata planning for GA/FA of Kolkata (or Bengal or India)-related articles. All the best.
Bye the way, I have nominated Group theatre of Kolkata for "Did you know" section here. I would suggest you to try to nominate for DYK articles that you create, if they have some interesting important facts, as you are editing and creating articles frequently. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.
As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.
If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.
You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.
