Hello,
I tried to add the following link to the site /info/en/?search=List_of_Indian_states_by_GDP which i see you have been editing often: https://docs.google.com/a/onlinegbc.com/file/d/0B84mZJGGvLJLbU9EU3E1RlBOMHc/edit
The value of my addition is that it has an extra column for <<average>> growth rate over the period 2005-2012. However, when i try to do so, it states that the site is blocked. Could you please try and add it? I oresume that you have greater expertise and this will help everyone.
Warm regards,

Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on changes to the template and image dialogs.
The biggest change in the last few weeks was the redesign of the template dialog. The template dialog now opens in a simplified mode that lists parameters and their descriptions. (The complex multi-item transclusion mode can be reached by clicking on "Show options" from inside the simplified template dialog.) Template parameters now have a bigger, auto-sizing input box for easier editing. With today's update, searching for template parameters will become case-insensitive, and required template parameters will display an asterisk (*) next to their edit boxes. In addition to making it quicker and easier to see everything when you edit typical templates, this work was necessary to prepare for the forthcoming simplified citation dialog. The main priority in the coming weeks is building this new citation dialog, with the ultimate goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs, URLs, DOIs and other quick-fills. This will add a new button on the toolbar, with the citation templates available picked by each wiki's community. Concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. Please share your ideas about making referencing quick and easy with the designers.

, and more. New keyboard shortcuts are listed there, and include undoing the last action, clearing formatting, and showing the shortcut help window. If you switch from VisualEditor to wikitext editing, your edit will now be tagged.The developers apologize for a regression bug with the deployment on 6 March 2014, which caused the incorrect removal of |upright
size definitions on a handful of pages on the English Wikipedia, among others. The root cause was fixed, and the broken pages were fixed soon after.
Looking ahead: Several template dialogs will become more compact. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. You will be able to see the Table of Contents change live as you edit the page, rather than it being hidden. In-line language setting (dir="rtl"
) may be offered to a few Wikipedias soon.
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on 19 April 2014 at 2000 UTC. Thank you! MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 22:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Please exclude the date pages from your script assisted clean up. This is not helpful. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 09:49, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation, and please do get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom ( talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot ( talk) 14:52, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

When you tag a redirect for deletion, please put the tag above the redir code. If it goes below, the redirect still operates and the reviewing admin lands on the target page - and thinks that the problem has been solved... I assume that you want Bukka Raya I deleted. If not, detag it quickly or ask me to revive it (depending on circumstances). Peridon ( talk) 12:49, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
Hie! Thanks for you appreciation! It looks nice and great if we have more than 9 images. Regarding consensus, you see they are reliable info and wiki is a place for authentic info so as to make this planet a better place for information. There are plenty of pages like 'native Americans' which have more than 9 images. I guess it does not look bad mate. Friend I believe we don't need a consensus to put "Mr. Obama is the president of USA" on Wiki. Thank you. Greetings! Swordofsunnah ( talk) 14:13, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
