Hi there - just a heads up that I have moved your recent question at the Teahouse from the bottom of the page to the top. Most talk pages require that new discussions be placed at the bottom of the page. At the Teahouse, however, new questions are placed at the top to maximize visibility. Thanks! ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 17:10, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
'Jain Agamas' and 'Jain literature' shouldn't be merged. As per my understanding,
Hi, you appear to have been overzealous in your recent categorisations of monarchs and dynasties as being Jain. Please ensure that their articles actually state that they are Jain by religion (and also not simply patrons of Jainism as well as other religions). If they do state that they are Jain, please ensure that such claims are referenced before tagging them and their entire dynasties as being Jain. I have reversed a number of your recent edits as a result. Please look through your other edits as well.-- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 20:35, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Listen, according to genetic and fossil evidence, archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago, with members of one branch leaving Africa by 60,000 years ago. You can't write dates for the jinas as if they are factually accurate statements, it's nuts to write Naminatha lived from 584,979-574,979 BCE. We can't even securely date Mahavira or Gautama Buddha, nevermind someone half a million years ago. Ogress smash! 08:16, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nanda Empire. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. As with many of your other recent edits, the article does not support anything about the Nandas being Jains. If you believe this to be true, then please add supporting sources and then classify them as being a Jain Dynasty. Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 12:25, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
It appears that you are very eager to contribute, but then you are using sources that definitely don't qualify per our standards and are therefore introducing errors or complexities that should be avoided. e.g. Categories such as
Category:Chakravartin Jain etc don't belong as these are not how historians classify things. Please have a read through of
our reliable sources guideline and in particular
WP:HISTRS. If you can, please tag
Category:Chakravartin Jain with {{
db-g7}}
and remove any articles categorized in it as this would avoid spending time on a CfD.—

SpacemanSpiff Cat chakravartin included many rulers who as per Jain texts are not chakravartis. As described in Salakapurusa there are only 12 Jain Chakravartin. So I created this category. Can you please elaborate on unreliable source thing? Recently someone said on bot request page that even some blogs are reliable. At least WP admins should not make conflicting remarks. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo ( talk · contribs · count) 18:41, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

You are suggesting I need to cite that we can't see they had a specific religion? Also, I too appreciate you are willing to listen and I like that you are working so hard on Jain issues, it's just a few snags we need to sort out. I also double-down on the tagging ancient centuries: AFAIK there is suggestion Parshvanatha could have been a real person but no evidence and certainly no specific dating. We can't even firmly date Mahavira and Buddha. Ogress smash! 20:28, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Ogress first of all, you should not revert any changes because of your POV without talking about it. Secondly, yes I am saying that you should tell the sources from where you have decided that Nandas were of no religion or of some other religion. I have seen on your talk page, that you love engaging in edit wars. Further, also please refer me to the sources, which prove to you that Tirthankara were not rulers. Rishabha was the founder of biggest and most ancient ruling dynasty (Ikshvaku) of India. He was the one, who taught how to rule and his son was the first chakravartin ruler. All those who followed ruled for a pretty long period and were all Kshatriyas except from Mahavira, who took diksha at the age of 30. You just keep reverting the tag jain monarchs on tirthankara without even talking about it. -- Pankaj Jain

See the tslk page of this article. All the opinion is for not merging. Pl remove the merger tag so that article can be posted for DYK before due date.-- Nvvchar. 11:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
This is again a poor quality source. You really should not be using devotional books as sources. You've been alerted to this before in the above thread when I asked you to go slow, but you're not listening, and you're making way too many edits for other editors to fix. — Spaceman Spiff 19:14, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Pankaj, as you ere advised above, can you please slow down, because your activities are getting disruptive. Exampl of some issues:
I would have explained the above points and other issues with your editing in greater detail, except that your fast pace editing doesn't allow others to respond adequately. Please read up on WP:RS, WP:NPOV (and especially WP:RPOV) before continuing at a much slower and deliberate pace. Abecedare ( talk) 19:34, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding , a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Over the past few days many editors have tried to reason with you and I have also asked you as one not involved in the specific content issues. You said you'll stop this, but you don't seem to show any intent to listen to feedback. This behavior is now crossing into the realm of being disruptive. — Spaceman Spiff 07:09, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Instead of simply adding a naked url as "Suggested sources" as you did here, here, here etc, please spell out what the source is (title, author, publisher etc) and what exactly you want to cite it for. As you have been told before, fewer considered edits are more valuable than dozens of edits that need to be reverted/cleaned-up or (as in this case) are simply cryptic.
Also, I am not clear why you are tagging some pages with {{ WP Jainism}} (for example Rohtak, which does not currently even mention Jain/Jainism)? Abecedare ( talk) 16:50, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Only pages significantly and directly linked with a topic, where project members can help with overall article content, formatting and sourcing, should be classed as under the project's purview. Just being able to imagine a link is not sufficient." so literally by focusing on "imagined".

The fact was ... that the wish-fulfilling tree Kalpavriksha is an artistic and literary theme common to the Hindu Bhagavatas, the Jainas and the Buddhists? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kalpavriksha. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Sagara (Vedic king) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
In this case you should start a move discussion so that consensus can be reached as to whether the article should be renamed, and if so, what the alternate title should be. Abecedare ( talk) 22:28, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Dear Pankaj, Are you sure that you have HISTRS sources for all the entries in this new template? - Kautilya3 ( talk) 09:50, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
To make it authentic, you need to go to each page listed there, check if the page mentions that the king was a Jain, and check if the information is supported by a HISTRS. You need to remove any page that doesn't satisfy these criteria. I have randomly checked a few pages, and here is what I found:
So, pretty much nothing is checking out. I have no idea how you listed these people as Royal Jains. - Kautilya3 ( talk) 11:12, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Please avoid this web page (www.fas.harvard.edu/~pluralsm/affiliates/jainism/article/south.htm) which appears to have numerous inaccuracies. Tukol claims the Kadambas and Chalukyas were Jains and that the Gangas conquered Nepal. There may be many more of such absurd claims. Please try to use real book sources written by reputed historians. Holenarasipura ( talk) 20:25, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Further, the web page calls all Hoysala kings as Jains though the dynasty of kings took to Hinduism from the time of Vishnuvardhana, and all the Rashtrakutas as Jains just because Amoghavarsha came under the influence of Jain Acharyas. Clearly, this article is not of high quality. Holenarasipura ( talk) 20:47, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
The following sanction now applies to you:
You have been topic banned for three months from now from editing all pages about Indian religions, broadly construed, including edits about Indian religions and about people belonging to any of those religions. Also from talking about those religions in any discussions. This ban applies to all kinds of pages (articles, talkpages, noticeboards, templates, etc) and to all types of editing, such as article edits, page moves, page creations, etc.
You have been sanctioned for persistent disruptive editing on subjects related to Indian religions. When I look at your talkpage and its archive, I see a lot of good advice and many warnings from quite a few editors, especially to do with using reliable historical sources. Experienced editors seem to have explained the sourcing problems patiently, and really tried to help you edit better. This is probably because they like your enthusiasm and good faith; I do, too. But it has come to a point where other editors seem to be describing the problems with your sources over and over, to no avail. What struck me especially was that you were asked three weeks ago repeatedly, and with much explanation, to "please go slow" [6] [7] and to make yourself master of HISTRS before adding so much material, and creating and moving pages, etc, at such speed. And yet, after a day of slowing down slightly, asking a question at the Teahouse, etc, you accelerated again, and have been editing at breakneck speed ever since. Yesterday (23 September per UTC) you made 340 edits! Sometimes there were three edits to three different pages in the same minute. How could you possibly make considered, thoughtful edits at such a rate? You'd have to be a well-programmed robot — a human can't do it. And considering your rate of editing, I'm not sure when you would find the time to study HISTRS as it deserves to be studied, either, or to mull over what people tell you. And this means that other people have to use a lot of time to clean up after you and explain to you. That's unacceptable. When I first looked at your contributions, I considered giving you a strong warning to slow down, but after noticing other editors doing just that, without effect, I see no other recourse than to topic ban you. Three months is a rather short topic ban, and the reason I've kept it short is because you're still rather new. If you were a more experienced editor I'd have banned you for six months or a year. Please make sure you understand what a topic ban is: read WP:TBAN. That is a policy you can't afford to speedread, because if you violate this topic ban, it will be enforced with blocks.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Bishonen | talk 15:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Edits like this and that and the other 30 odd edits you've done since Bishonen's sanction above are a violation of your topic ban. Any further edits and you will be blocked for violating the topic ban. It is especially important that you adhere to the ban as it's now presenting more evidence that you are either not willing to work in a collaborative project or you are not able to comprehend what's expected, both of which are highly disruptive and will likely result in being indefinitely blocked, not just the minor sanction imposed above. — Spaceman Spiff 07:10, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]).

Hi Pankaj, please note that your topic ban prohibits you from editing or participating on all Indian religion topics. So, please refrain from making edits however small.

Capankajsmilyo, that's not asking "beforehand", I don't know why you call it that. It's asking afterwards. I do have a good mind to topic ban you from Indian subjects, both because the edits show incompetence with regard to reliable sources, and because you went ahead and made them, then asked. But the one saving grace is that you did ask, so I (for my part) won't ban you at this time. Next time, ask first, and please take on board what SpacemanSpiff tells you about what's wrong with your source, and try to follow WP:HISTRS going forward.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

OK Pankaj, I'm lifting your topic ban on condition that you edit much less fast than you did before the ban. If I deem it necessary, I'll come back and limit you to a maximum number of edits per day, but that's a pretty blunt instrument which I'd rather not use. Please listen to what experienced and knowledgeable editors tell you. I also strongly advise you to abide by WP:BRD and use WP:RSN and WP:DRN etc rather than repetitive arguing on talk pages. To speak more personally, I think you know that I topic banned you because you exhausted other volunteers. Please try to be aware of the need to avoid that. As soon as you have responded positively here, you can regard yourself as unbanned. Happy editing. Bishonen | talk 20:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC).
Hi Capankajsmilyo,
This is regarding the article National Herald Case, here the duplicate content has been added , old content deleted without any proper reason, and adding words which are taking the article to the biased way(like using 'fraud' and 'criminal' for the article subjects), thus destroying the neutrality of the article. It seems that the media highlight of the case makes it bit sensitive. I have been able to restore the content as much as possible. My request is that please look into the edits ASAP and if possible add to it "semi-protected" sort of mode for a particular time to prevent it from vandalism.

Hi, thank you for adding info to Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. IMHO, some of it was too detailed, and I have removed the full list of Presidents. Please have a look at WP:What Wikipedia is not for some guidance as to what is/isn't good content for the encyclopedia.
I hope this does not discourage you from continuing to contribute here. Beyond question, many pages on Indian topics still need improvement! – Fayenatic L ondon 22:08, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I see in this edit you redirected Jyotigram Yojana to Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana. I want to clear you few things. If two schemes are related to same thing then it doesn't mean that we should merge it. Specially these 2 schemes are not of "same" government. Jyotigram Yojana is of Government of Gujarat and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana is of Government of India. At most we can merge various schemes initiated by same government related to same thing, but here governments are different. Also read federalism or federalism in India. India is a federal country. India is Union of States. Each state has its own government and own initiatives. -- Human3015 TALK 09:11, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Pankaj, I notice you giving article assessment ratings. Please note that, in order to assess for a project, you need to be a member of the project and, possibly, its assessment team. You also need to closely know the guidelines for assessing for that project. Some of the assessment edits you have done lead me to believe that you don't know this. So, until you become a full-fledged assessor, please don't do any assessments. Cheers, Kautilya3 ( talk) 01:23, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Minister of Tourism (India) into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

Minister of Tourism (India) that have existed for years, may not be a great idea if done without any discussion.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! - 220 of Borg 09:41, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Heyo Capankajsmilyo. Great work on the article. Sorry, I don't have enough time on my hands to do a full review but a quick look tells me that the lead is too short and doesn't cover all the topics in the article yet. There are still a few unreferenced facts there. Other than that, the article is in need of some copy-edits and might need a bit of neutralization. Overall, in a much better state and close to getting to the GA status. I suggest you make a request at GOCE, expand the lead and make sure that every fact has a citation, and it is good to be nominated. Best, Ya sh ! 17:00, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Girish Ahuja requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I am sorry to crowd your talk space, but I would like to join the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Narendra Modi as I now feel more confident in my ability to properly vet sources as well as ensure the provision, for those readers so interested, in a neutral and objective source of information of Pradhan Mantri Narendro Modi Ji's administration.
I am particularly interested in establishing a "uniformity of standards for information" to accompany our contributions; I hope to see the day when the quality and standards of Wikipedia Hindi and Wikipedia Telugu (as well as all other Indian-language Wikpedias) that exist to educate and motivate our people) are able to convey the complexity of this world we share with the same standards of ethics, neutrality, presentation and fidelity as Wikipedia English (we have our work cut out for us).
I am currently able, though only under the supervision of a sincere Wikipedia contributor such as yourself, of rendering well-researched and neutral articles authored and edited in English into both Telugu as well as Hindi.
I am committed to the democratization of knowledge that Wikipedia represents; and no one is in more desperate a need for a seat at the table of those who govern and regulate our marketplace of ideas than our sisters and brothers in India.

The main thing you need to do is stop adding copyright violations. All prose you add to this wiki has to be written in your own words. As far as helping with clean-up, I've prepared a contribution survey and put it in User:Diannaa/sandbox. Please copy this into your own sandbox. This is the same report we use at WP:CCI. The diffs in bold are the ones most likely to have copyright violations. The articles are sorted with big edits at the top and small edits at the bottom. The ones at the top are the articles most likely to contain copyright violations. There's a hundred articles on the list altogether. Please go through all these diffs in bold and look for and remove copyright violations wherever you find them. I know this task is very time consuming and difficult, because I do it all the time when trying to clear cases at WP:CCI, so that is why it is vitally important that you do this task yourself and not burden the community with the clean-up. Please make this a priority over creating new content. The clean-up may take you several weeks. — Diannaa ( talk) 11:38, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

@Capankajsmilyo: what you call "cleaned" so far is predominantly cosmetic changes, such as adding PD-notice templates, such as here and here. What we really need is edits of the type @ जैन has recently made in terms of WP:Copyvio and WP:Plag compliance, such as this and this. The Copyvio 1-100 check list, created by @Diannaa, and in your sandbox, is largely unaddressed. @ SpacemanSpiff: I suggest we request @Capankajsmilyo to not worry about merging articles, fixing new articles, adding or deleting large scale templates such as "Authority control" from articles, nominating new peer review, or for GA, or for DYK or adding any new content; rather, he should focus his time, checking line by line, ref by ref, anything he added, so as to clean out that 1-100 list first, because there are substantial allegations, as well as evidence, of Copyvio problems created by him.

An IP added large amounts of text without refs. Then after repeated warnings to add refs, removed a large amount of text from Girnar Jain temples here with dubious ES. Then, the IP was blocked, and started socking on another IP. I restored the content to Girnar Jain temples having to manually replace your changes. The citation you removed was referenced by this content and replacement of your edits 'broke' the ref. I replaced these with CN.

Wikipedia:Verifiability requires only "any material challenged or likely to be challenged (NOT all material) must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation." Please adhere to "When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable." References for the deleted part of Sita can be easily found and tagging would have been better option. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Capankajsmilyo, WP:UNSOURCED doesn't say that unsourced material must be removed. In fact, what it says is "When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable" and then goes on to say, in a note, that "it is advisable to communicate clearly that you have a considered reason to believe that the material in question cannot be verified". None of this, of course, prevents you from going around deleting stuff but removing material that is generally uncontested (like the stuff you removed from Laksmana and earlier from Indian rebellion of 1857) without first trying to find a source, and doing so on a large scale, gives the impression that you're on some sort of mission. Especially when it is clear that you've made no attempt to try to find a source. That's never desirable on Wikipedia.-- regentspark ( comment) 16:36, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Capankajsmilyo, you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. It's not a question of praising or criticizing Modi but rather one of presenting substantive content on his tenure as prime minister. If you read the section as it is now, it consists almost entirely of one line sentences, sort of bullet points, on his initiatives and plans. That's not enough. The section should contain fewer specific initiatives and focus only on those ones whose outcomes have been analyzed in academic sources (unlikely because of the short time) or in the media (more likely). The way it is written now, it looks like fancruft and won't be taken seriously by the reader. Our article is actually doing a disservice to Modi because of the shallowness of the content. -- regentspark ( comment) 17:21, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Intelligent sium 22:57, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
On 15 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mahavira, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mahavira (pictured) was the 24th and last tirthankara (teaching god) in Jainism? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mahavira. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Mahavira), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I noticed you have been adding templates to various Kannada poet articles. While often templates help bring value to an article, just throwing info that makes no sense into it only spoils the effort. For instance, can you prove that Raghavanka was not born in the 12th century? You claim Naraharitirtha was from the 13th century, but his compositions are from the 14th century. Practically every article you have touched has such mistakes. I suggest you make changes from "born" and "died" to "lived" and just put in the century when he wrote the classic/poems. This way there is no guess work. Often there can be disagreement among historians whether a classic was written in a century or the previous or the next. Just indicate that with "12th or 13th century". Also you are throwing in multile templates into each article throwing off the alignment. This is an eye sore. Please rectify your mistakes.

Greetings, I applaud your enthusiasm in creating articles on Indian legislation, but please be aware that Wikipedia articles should have the most specific categories applicable. As an example, Microsoft is not filed under "Business", "Computers", etc (these are not YouTube tags), but rather:
And so forth.
So please do not use "Category:India" as that is for only the most general articles dealing with that nation. At the absolute least use "Category:Indian legislation", but your best bet is to look at long-standing well-developed articles on famous Indian legislation, and mimic the fine and detailed categories that such articles use, which should include categories for the date of the legislation, its topic, etc.
Again, kudos for your work, do not be discouraged, please just familiarized yourself with how having very precise categories makes your articles even easier to find and more useful, and avoids cluttering the very general categories. With just a little study, this will become very second nature to you and make each new article you create stronger and more integrated into the system. Again kudos for your enthusiasm!

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.192.111.202 ( talk) 11:37, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s).

Hello again, Pankaj. I noticed that you've nominated Foreign policy of the Narendra Modi government for GA status. No I'm glad you're interested in improving that article, because it's an important topic. As of now, though, the article is liable to be quick-failed as soon as somebody opens the review. It is very far from meeting GA criteria 2 & 4, and the prose has issues, too. It has a notice about a lack of sources and that notice is unquestionably still valid. I would strongly suggest that you withdraw the nomination, and do the grunt work of preparing the article. It cannot have unsourced paragraphs, and it needs to be based on sources analyzing the substance of the policies. If you are interested, there are some sources in my sandbox.

Pankaj, you need to carefully read WP:DUE before adding more content to the Modi page. It is not enough for a particular fact to be mentioned by a newspaper: if we added every such, the article would be enormous. The content currently in the article is not perfect. If you look at it carefully, though, you will notice that most things are cited to scholarly sources, which are of higher quality than the news media, and to international sources, which will (naturally) be better at judging the big picture because they are further removed. Indian media sources are generally used as supporting sources, or for details that incontrovertibly belong in the article, such as details of his early life or dates of specific events (like his inauguration). And I hope I don't need to remind you about BRD. Vanamonde ( talk) 07:13, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

I need an explanation as to why you created Syed Aman Mian Shrma. Nick ( talk) 20:27, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Please don't add non-existent categories as you did eg here. Categories are not like articles, they should not be created as red links, per WP:NOTRED. To see the result, why not try helping to reduce the backlog at Special:WantedCategories? You might want to have a read of WP:Overcategorization - in general we want categories of 30-50 articles rather than 3-5, so it is often better to have an article in separate, more general categories such as Category:Jain monks and Category:12th-century monks and then use a WP:Category intersection tool to find 12th-century Jain monks. Le Deluge ( talk) 17:15, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:
The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.
So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 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 equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Pankaj, I think we have been through this before, but you might have forgotten. Do not delete content tagged for citations unless you have good reason to believe that it is not verifiable.

Capankajsmilyo, reviewer User:Adam Cuerden has not posted to this review since last year, and this is the second-oldest nomination out there. If you'd like, I can put the nomination back into the pool of nomination awaiting reviewers. Since this is such an old nomination, given that the GA Cup is in its final two weeks, it seems likely that a reviewer will pick this one because it comes with extra bonus points for being so old. I'm happy to do this if you'd like me to. Please let me know your preference. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:28, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Capankajsmilyo, normally I'd offer to do the same with this nomination, but you haven't indicated whether you've addressed the majority of the issues raised in Adam Cuerden's original review. If you still haven't, then probably the best thing to do is close it. If you have, we should probably put it back into the pool of nominations waiting for a reviewer. Please let me know how this one stands. Thank you. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:32, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Re: this and similar edits. The AAP "broom" symbol was deemed to be unacceptable per policy at various discussions a couple of years ago.

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Jainism has been completed.
I took the liberty of removing the update tags in several sections. It seems to me that they already include enough general information that is an appropriate for the article. Others may not agree,
In the "Community" section some interesting data is included from a 2001 Indian census. This should certainly be updated with the latest figures.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Good luck with the GA nomination.

Hi, I noticed you made some edits to the article after I did the review. Please feel free to nominate articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests before placing them back on the GA nomination list. This will help improve the articles you nominate to GA tremendously, as they will conform with our Wikipedia:Manual of Style. The biggest issues I see are unsourced paragraphs/sections and very short paragraphs. Bullets in introductions aren't standard either. I usually try to use Featured Article styles as reference to how GA articles should "look". Let me know if you have any questions. ComputerJA ( ☎ • ✎) 02:10, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

On 25 April 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rishabhanatha, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rishabhanatha (statue pictured), the traditional founder of Jainism, was said to be born in the age when there was happiness all around with no work for men to do? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rishabhanatha. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Rishabhanatha), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. 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 equally.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

With
this series of edits, you changed the infobox from opt-in to opt-out. There is no consenus for that sort of dramatic change. The only way in which we are ever likely to gain consensus for infoboxes fetching Wikidata is if we can show that the infobox can be implemented on articles without changing anything in the article in the first instance. That is hugely important for infoboxes that could potentially be used in a large number of articles, but it does mean that an editor at each article has to take responsibility for activating the fetching of Wikidata by the positive action of supplying the |fetchwikidata=
parameter and giving it a value. I hope you understand. --

I am way behind on the archives, but you never got a response to your question over a month ago about bots. I think that type of question can be answered at WP:VPT.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:39, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Please don't replace standard infoboxes with Wikidata infoboxes if they are less complete or sourced than the original version, as you are thereby making the article actievly worse. You have been reverted twice at Prachi Desai, and you have done the same at e.g. Sidharth Malhotra or Evelyn Sharma. Using Wikidat to make enwiki better may be defensible (though never necessary), but using it to make enwiki worse is not really acceptable. Fram ( talk) 06:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Template:Mewar I has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 06:14, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi Capankajsmilyo. The WD infoboxes you've recently made are mostly wrappers for the standard template. The end goal is to have Wikidata in the main template, not as a side template. Just a heads up – it's easier to copy the template, change it, then move that code back to the main one, instead of making a wrapper. Thanks, Laurdecl talk 06:34, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, re: this edit, would you please be so kind as to edify me on where consensus was established to replace infoboxes with Wikidata infoboxes? I'd like to read up on the rationale, since I can imagine problems arising with referencing, since it's often useful to have references in infoboxes. Thank you.

The article Meat in India has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Reads like an essay. WP:NOTESSAY
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.
Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hello, Capankajsmilyo. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Mahavira at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne ( talk) 17:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC) |
Hello, Capankajsmilyo. You'll have seen that I have completed the copy-edit you requested at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests for
Mahavira. I'm sorry it took me so long. The weather has been great, and I've been enjoying being outdoors and have been busy. I left a number of "clarification needed" tags with accompanying hidden notes to editors (i.e., you), which you can remove when you've resolved the issues. Let me know if you have any further questions or need help formulating a sentence. I just have one thing I want to mention: normally, in articles other than those on technical or mathematics topics, I write out numbers below a hundred in full ("twenty-four" instead of "24"), but since this article contains so many ordinal numbers ("22nd", "23rd", 24th"), I thought it would be more consistent if I used the number instead of the word for cardinal numbers also (22, 23, 24).
Miniapolis, do you concur, or would you write out the words for the numbers in full – and, if so, cardinal only, or both cardinal and ordinal? I changed one short list to paragraph form; the MoS discourages lists unless absolutely necessary and appropriate. –

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup?

Hello, Capankajsmilyo. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Goods and Services Tax (India), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Business Today ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

In 2017 – 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and user groups from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program will (a) support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and (b) sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.
Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST).

"connoting the path of victory in crossing over life's stream of rebirths through an ethical and spiritual life."This is in Wikipedia's voice, and it shouldn't be.
"Rishabhanatha, who is believed to have lived millions of years ago"implies historians/scholars believe him to have lived that long ago; obviously untrue. That's a Jain belief.
"The Jain Agamas suggest that Mahāvīra's approach to answering all metaphysical philosophical questions was a "qualified yes" (syāt)."This is incomprehensible to someone without a background knowledge of the subject.
"Jainism also prescribes seven supplementary vows which include three guņa vratas ("merit vows") and four śikşā vratas."Again, very difficult to understand, and definitely needs further context.
After skimming the article again, I have to amend part of what I said earlier; there are enough good sources already in the article. They just need to be used, or others found, for sections such as the "reception" section (which is at this moment just a list of quotes) and the "Jains in the modern era" section, which is once again a collection of somewhat arbitrary facts, without secondary sources tying them together or attesting to their significance.

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding discussions about the integration of Wikidata on the English Wikipedia, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system.

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

His wanderings are very significant, and very well documented in detail in Diwakar's Charitra Chakravarti book. They had a significant impact on the practice of Jainism in the regions he visited. People remember his visit to their region. His arrival marked the return of the Digambar monks in the region after the gap of about 7-8 centuries. During this period, only the Bhattarakas headed the Jain institutions in much of India.
In Delhi's Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir, there exists a marble memorial commemorating his arrival in Delhi, the very first after a gap of several centuries. Please visit the memorial when you are in Delhi. Malaiya ( talk) 00:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. 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.

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

I see nobody replied to your request for a mentor. You might try looking through the list of mentors and finding someone on that list whose area of interest is not too far from your own, and asking on their talk page. Not everyone on that list necessarily watches the FAC talk page, so they may not have seen your post. Failing that, you can also look for people not on that list who have successfully taken similar articles through FAC, and see if they would be willing to advise you. Best of luck with the article.

Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking! Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! The judges for the WikiCup are Sturmvogel 66 ( talk · contribs · email), Godot13 ( talk · contribs · email), Vanamonde93 ( talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs · email).

Heartfelt apologies for taking so long to come back to you on the request you put on my talk page. I am finally free to follow it up, unless of course you have despaired of waiting and found another editor to discuss it with instead. Let me know here if you would still like my detailed comments and suggestions. Tim riley talk 19:10, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
At last I have studied the text of the Mahavira article. The length, and the proportions of the article seem to me well judged. Indeed I wonder how much use I can be in suggesting how to improve the article, because it seems to me not far off FA quality.
One point is about the lead. It is a cardinal rule in Wikipedia that the lead should (i) summarise all important points in the main text and (ii) contain nothing that isn't in the main text. As far as I can see you have satisfied both of those requirements, and so the three citations you have in the present lead can be removed, as the main text expands on the two points with due citations.
A second point is that an article will not survive FAC if there are query tags left undealt with. I have no idea whether the "contradictory" tag in the Nirvana and moksha is justified, but you need to deal with it. Likewise the "clarification needed" tags in Texts and Teachings.
A minor point is the ordering of the citations in the text. It is generally, though not unanimously, held that multiple citations should appear in numerical order. See the second paragraph of Historical Mahavira, where you have [21][2] and the third para of Birth – [45][4].
And that really is all I can find to suggest. I think it is a fine article and I hope you can steer it through FAC at a second attempt. I see that it was peer reviewed in 2015, and as it has changed a good deal since then, I think if I were you I'd put it up for peer review again. If you do, I'll lean on a few of my regular WP collaborators to look in and give you their comments. Please keep me informed of developments. Tim riley talk 16:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Prabalsagar, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

The article Ashwin Porwal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Article appears to be an attempted promotion created by an editor that has done the same for other individual doctors in India. See also WP:EXIST and WP:NOTDIRECTORY.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. ---

Hi there - just a heads up that I have moved your recent question at the Teahouse from the bottom of the page to the top. Most talk pages require that new discussions be placed at the bottom of the page. At the Teahouse, however, new questions are placed at the top to maximize visibility.

'Jain Agamas' and 'Jain literature' shouldn't be merged. As per my understanding,
Hi, you appear to have been overzealous in your recent categorisations of monarchs and dynasties as being Jain. Please ensure that their articles actually state that they are Jain by religion (and also not simply patrons of Jainism as well as other religions). If they do state that they are Jain, please ensure that such claims are referenced before tagging them and their entire dynasties as being Jain. I have reversed a number of your recent edits as a result. Please look through your other edits as well.-- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 20:35, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Listen, according to genetic and fossil evidence, archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa between 200,000 and 100,000 years ago, with members of one branch leaving Africa by 60,000 years ago. You can't write dates for the jinas as if they are factually accurate statements, it's nuts to write Naminatha lived from 584,979-574,979 BCE. We can't even securely date Mahavira or Gautama Buddha, nevermind someone half a million years ago. Ogress smash! 08:16, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nanda Empire. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. As with many of your other recent edits, the article does not support anything about the Nandas being Jains. If you believe this to be true, then please add supporting sources and then classify them as being a Jain Dynasty. Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 12:25, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
It appears that you are very eager to contribute, but then you are using sources that definitely don't qualify per our standards and are therefore introducing errors or complexities that should be avoided. e.g. Categories such as
Category:Chakravartin Jain etc don't belong as these are not how historians classify things. Please have a read through of
our reliable sources guideline and in particular
WP:HISTRS. If you can, please tag
Category:Chakravartin Jain with {{
db-g7}}
and remove any articles categorized in it as this would avoid spending time on a CfD.—

SpacemanSpiff Cat chakravartin included many rulers who as per Jain texts are not chakravartis. As described in Salakapurusa there are only 12 Jain Chakravartin. So I created this category. Can you please elaborate on unreliable source thing? Recently someone said on bot request page that even some blogs are reliable.

You are suggesting I need to cite that we can't see they had a specific religion? Also, I too appreciate you are willing to listen and I like that you are working so hard on Jain issues, it's just a few snags we need to sort out. I also double-down on the tagging ancient centuries: AFAIK there is suggestion Parshvanatha could have been a real person but no evidence and certainly no specific dating. We can't even firmly date Mahavira and Buddha. Ogress smash! 20:28, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Ogress first of all, you should not revert any changes because of your POV without talking about it. Secondly, yes I am saying that you should tell the sources from where you have decided that Nandas were of no religion or of some other religion. I have seen on your talk page, that you love engaging in edit wars. Further, also please refer me to the sources, which prove to you that Tirthankara were not rulers. Rishabha was the founder of biggest and most ancient ruling dynasty (Ikshvaku) of India. He was the one, who taught how to rule and his son was the first chakravartin ruler. All those who followed ruled for a pretty long period and were all Kshatriyas except from Mahavira, who took diksha at the age of 30. You just keep reverting the tag jain monarchs on tirthankara without even talking about it. -- Pankaj Jain

This is again a poor quality source. You really should not be using devotional books as sources. You've been alerted to this before in the above thread when I asked you to go slow, but you're not listening, and you're making way too many edits for other editors to fix. — Spaceman Spiff 19:14, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
Pankaj, as you ere advised above, can you please slow down, because your activities are getting disruptive. Exampl of some issues:
I would have explained the above points and other issues with your editing in greater detail, except that your fast pace editing doesn't allow others to respond adequately.

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding , a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Over the past few days many editors have tried to reason with you and I have also asked you as one not involved in the specific content issues. You said you'll stop this, but you don't seem to show any intent to listen to feedback. This behavior is now crossing into the realm of being disruptive. — Spaceman Spiff 07:09, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic.

Instead of simply adding a naked url as "Suggested sources" as you did here, here, here etc, please spell out what the source is (title, author, publisher etc) and what exactly you want to cite it for. As you have been told before, fewer considered edits are more valuable than dozens of edits that need to be reverted/cleaned-up or (as in this case) are simply cryptic.
Also, I am not clear why you are tagging some pages with {{ WP Jainism}} (for example Rohtak, which does not currently even mention Jain/Jainism)? Abecedare ( talk) 16:50, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Only pages significantly and directly linked with a topic, where project members can help with overall article content, formatting and sourcing, should be classed as under the project's purview. Just being able to imagine a link is not sufficient." so literally by focusing on "imagined".

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Sagara (Vedic king) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a " cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
In this case you should start a move discussion so that consensus can be reached as to whether the article should be renamed, and if so, what the alternate title should be. Abecedare ( talk) 22:28, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Dear Pankaj, Are you sure that you have HISTRS sources for all the entries in this new template? - Kautilya3 ( talk) 09:50, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
To make it authentic, you need to go to each page listed there, check if the page mentions that the king was a Jain, and check if the information is supported by a HISTRS. You need to remove any page that doesn't satisfy these criteria. I have randomly checked a few pages, and here is what I found:
So, pretty much nothing is checking out. I have no idea how you listed these people as Royal Jains. - Kautilya3 ( talk) 11:12, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Please avoid this web page (www.fas.harvard.edu/~pluralsm/affiliates/jainism/article/south.htm) which appears to have numerous inaccuracies. Tukol claims the Kadambas and Chalukyas were Jains and that the Gangas conquered Nepal. There may be many more of such absurd claims. Please try to use real book sources written by reputed historians. Holenarasipura ( talk) 20:25, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Further, the web page calls all Hoysala kings as Jains though the dynasty of kings took to Hinduism from the time of Vishnuvardhana, and all the Rashtrakutas as Jains just because Amoghavarsha came under the influence of Jain Acharyas. Clearly, this article is not of high quality. Holenarasipura ( talk) 20:47, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
The following sanction now applies to you:
You have been topic banned for three months from now from editing all pages about Indian religions, broadly construed, including edits about Indian religions and about people belonging to any of those religions. Also from talking about those religions in any discussions. This ban applies to all kinds of pages (articles, talkpages, noticeboards, templates, etc) and to all types of editing, such as article edits, page moves, page creations, etc.
You have been sanctioned for persistent disruptive editing on subjects related to Indian religions. When I look at your talkpage and its archive, I see a lot of good advice and many warnings from quite a few editors, especially to do with using reliable historical sources. Experienced editors seem to have explained the sourcing problems patiently, and really tried to help you edit better. This is probably because they like your enthusiasm and good faith; I do, too. But it has come to a point where other editors seem to be describing the problems with your sources over and over, to no avail. What struck me especially was that you were asked three weeks ago repeatedly, and with much explanation, to "please go slow" [6] [7] and to make yourself master of HISTRS before adding so much material, and creating and moving pages, etc, at such speed. And yet, after a day of slowing down slightly, asking a question at the Teahouse, etc, you accelerated again, and have been editing at breakneck speed ever since. Yesterday (23 September per UTC) you made 340 edits! Sometimes there were three edits to three different pages in the same minute. How could you possibly make considered, thoughtful edits at such a rate? You'd have to be a well-programmed robot — a human can't do it. And considering your rate of editing, I'm not sure when you would find the time to study HISTRS as it deserves to be studied, either, or to mull over what people tell you. And this means that other people have to use a lot of time to clean up after you and explain to you. That's unacceptable. When I first looked at your contributions, I considered giving you a strong warning to slow down, but after noticing other editors doing just that, without effect, I see no other recourse than to topic ban you. Three months is a rather short topic ban, and the reason I've kept it short is because you're still rather new. If you were a more experienced editor I'd have banned you for six months or a year. Please make sure you understand what a topic ban is: read WP:TBAN. That is a policy you can't afford to speedread, because if you violate this topic ban, it will be enforced with blocks.
This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Bishonen | talk 15:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Edits like this and that and the other 30 odd edits you've done since Bishonen's sanction above are a violation of your topic ban. Any further edits and you will be blocked for violating the topic ban. It is especially important that you adhere to the ban as it's now presenting more evidence that you are either not willing to work in a collaborative project or you are not able to comprehend what's expected, both of which are highly disruptive and will likely result in being indefinitely blocked, not just the minor sanction imposed above. — Spaceman Spiff 07:10, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted a procedure instructing administrators as follows: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

Capankajsmilyo, that's not asking "beforehand", I don't know why you call it that. It's asking afterwards. I do have a good mind to topic ban you from Indian subjects, both because the edits show incompetence with regard to reliable sources, and because you went ahead and made them, then asked. But the one saving grace is that you did ask, so I (for my part) won't ban you at this time. Next time, ask first, and please take on board what SpacemanSpiff tells you about what's wrong with your source, and try to follow WP:HISTRS going forward.

OK Pankaj, I'm lifting your topic ban on condition that you edit much less fast than you did before the ban. If I deem it necessary, I'll come back and limit you to a maximum number of edits per day, but that's a pretty blunt instrument which I'd rather not use. Please listen to what experienced and knowledgeable editors tell you. I also strongly advise you to abide by WP:BRD and use WP:RSN and WP:DRN etc rather than repetitive arguing on talk pages.

Hi Capankajsmilyo,
This is regarding the article National Herald Case, here the duplicate content has been added , old content deleted without any proper reason, and adding words which are taking the article to the biased way(like using 'fraud' and 'criminal' for the article subjects), thus destroying the neutrality of the article. It seems that the media highlight of the case makes it bit sensitive. I have been able to restore the content as much as possible. My request is that please look into the edits ASAP and if possible add to it "semi-protected" sort of mode for a particular time to prevent it from vandalism.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Minister of Tourism (India) into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! - 220 of Borg 09:41, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Heyo Capankajsmilyo. Great work on the article. Sorry, I don't have enough time on my hands to do a full review but a quick look tells me that the lead is too short and doesn't cover all the topics in the article yet. There are still a few unreferenced facts there. Other than that, the article is in need of some copy-edits and might need a bit of neutralization. Overall, in a much better state and close to getting to the GA status. I suggest you make a request at GOCE, expand the lead and make sure that every fact has a citation, and it is good to be nominated. Best, Ya sh ! 17:00, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Girish Ahuja requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

I am sorry to crowd your talk space, but I would like to join the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Narendra Modi as I now feel more confident in my ability to properly vet sources as well as ensure the provision, for those readers so interested, in a neutral and objective source of information of Pradhan Mantri Narendro Modi Ji's administration.
I am particularly interested in establishing a "uniformity of standards for information" to accompany our contributions; I hope to see the day when the quality and standards of Wikipedia Hindi and Wikipedia Telugu (as well as all other Indian-language Wikpedias) that exist to educate and motivate our people) are able to convey the complexity of this world we share with the same standards of ethics, neutrality, presentation and fidelity as Wikipedia English (we have our work cut out for us).
I am currently able, though only under the supervision of a sincere Wikipedia contributor such as yourself, of rendering well-researched and neutral articles authored and edited in English into both Telugu as well as Hindi.
I am committed to the democratization of knowledge that Wikipedia represents; and no one is in more desperate a need for a seat at the table of those who govern and regulate our marketplace of ideas than our sisters and brothers in India.
Thank you for reaching out to me! I hope to hear from you. Svabhiman ( talk) 10:05, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

To sum up, all content you add to this wiki (other than brief quotations, where absolutely necessary) should be written in your own words.

The main thing you need to do is stop adding copyright violations. All prose you add to this wiki has to be written in your own words. As far as helping with clean-up, I've prepared a contribution survey and put it in User:Diannaa/sandbox. Please copy this into your own sandbox. This is the same report we use at WP:CCI. The diffs in bold are the ones most likely to have copyright violations. The articles are sorted with big edits at the top and small edits at the bottom. The ones at the top are the articles most likely to contain copyright violations. There's a hundred articles on the list altogether. Please go through all these diffs in bold and look for and remove copyright violations wherever you find them. I know this task is very time consuming and difficult, because I do it all the time when trying to clear cases at WP:CCI, so that is why it is vitally important that you do this task yourself and not burden the community with the clean-up. Please make this a priority over creating new content. The clean-up may take you several weeks. — Diannaa ( talk) 11:38, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

@Capankajsmilyo: what you call "cleaned" so far is predominantly cosmetic changes, such as adding PD-notice templates, such as here and here. What we really need is edits of the type @ जैन has recently made in terms of WP:Copyvio and WP:Plag compliance, such as this and this. The Copyvio 1-100 check list, created by @Diannaa, and in your sandbox, is largely unaddressed. @ SpacemanSpiff: I suggest we request @Capankajsmilyo to not worry about merging articles, fixing new articles, adding or deleting large scale templates such as "Authority control" from articles, nominating new peer review, or for GA, or for DYK or adding any new content; rather, he should focus his time, checking line by line, ref by ref, anything he added, so as to clean out that 1-100 list first, because there are substantial allegations, as well as evidence, of Copyvio problems created by him.

An IP added large amounts of text without refs. Then after repeated warnings to add refs, removed a large amount of text from Girnar Jain temples here with dubious ES. Then, the IP was blocked, and started socking on another IP. I restored the content to Girnar Jain temples having to manually replace your changes. The citation you removed was referenced by this content and replacement of your edits 'broke' the ref. I replaced these with CN.

Wikipedia:Verifiability requires only "any material challenged or likely to be challenged (NOT all material) must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation." Please adhere to "When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable." References for the deleted part of Sita can be easily found and tagging would have been better option. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 16:14, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Capankajsmilyo, WP:UNSOURCED doesn't say that unsourced material must be removed. In fact, what it says is "When tagging or removing material for lacking an inline citation, please state your concern that it may not be possible to find a published reliable source for the content, and therefore it may not be verifiable" and then goes on to say, in a note, that "it is advisable to communicate clearly that you have a considered reason to believe that the material in question cannot be verified". None of this, of course, prevents you from going around deleting stuff but removing material that is generally uncontested (like the stuff you removed from Laksmana and earlier from Indian rebellion of 1857) without first trying to find a source, and doing so on a large scale, gives the impression that you're on some sort of mission. Especially when it is clear that you've made no attempt to try to find a source. That's never desirable on Wikipedia.-- regentspark ( comment) 16:36, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
Capankajsmilyo, you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. It's not a question of praising or criticizing Modi but rather one of presenting substantive content on his tenure as prime minister. If you read the section as it is now, it consists almost entirely of one line sentences, sort of bullet points, on his initiatives and plans. That's not enough. The section should contain fewer specific initiatives and focus only on those ones whose outcomes have been analyzed in academic sources (unlikely because of the short time) or in the media (more likely). The way it is written now, it looks like fancruft and won't be taken seriously by the reader. Our article is actually doing a disservice to Modi because of the shallowness of the content. -- regentspark ( comment) 17:21, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

I noticed you have been adding templates to various Kannada poet articles. While often templates help bring value to an article, just throwing info that makes no sense into it only spoils the effort. For instance, can you prove that Raghavanka was not born in the 12th century? You claim Naraharitirtha was from the 13th century, but his compositions are from the 14th century. Practically every article you have touched has such mistakes. I suggest you make changes from "born" and "died" to "lived" and just put in the century when he wrote the classic/poems. This way there is no guess work. Often there can be disagreement among historians whether a classic was written in a century or the previous or the next. Just indicate that with "12th or 13th century". Also you are throwing in multile templates into each article throwing off the alignment. This is an eye sore. Please rectify your mistakes.

Greetings, I applaud your enthusiasm in creating articles on Indian legislation, but please be aware that Wikipedia articles should have the most specific categories applicable. As an example, Microsoft is not filed under "Business", "Computers", etc (these are not YouTube tags), but rather:
And so forth.
So please do not use "Category:India" as that is for only the most general articles dealing with that nation. At the absolute least use "Category:Indian legislation", but your best bet is to look at long-standing well-developed articles on famous Indian legislation, and mimic the fine and detailed categories that such articles use, which should include categories for the date of the legislation, its topic, etc.
Again, kudos for your work, do not be discouraged, please just familiarized yourself with how having very precise categories makes your articles even easier to find and more useful, and avoids cluttering the very general categories. With just a little study, this will become very second nature to you and make each new article you create stronger and more integrated into the system. Again kudos for your enthusiasm!

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.192.111.202 ( talk) 11:37, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 01:26, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Pankaj, I noticed that you recently created this template. While the enthusiasm is appreciated, there are some issues here. According to WP:NPOL, every one of the 750+ Indian MPs are notable. A large number, if not all, have articles. Given that, the template you created is totally impractical. The topic is much better served by a category, or at most by a list.

Hi Pankaj, I am not sure why you are putting the PageViews templates on the talk pages. It will only end up inciting all the POV pushers. Has this been discussed anywhere? -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 18:55, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s).

Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions. ---- regentspark ( comment) 14:13, 18 November 2016 (UTC)Capankajsmilyo, I'm reminding you of the arbcom authorized discretionary sanctions on India articles.

Hello again, Pankaj. I noticed that you've nominated Foreign policy of the Narendra Modi government for GA status. No I'm glad you're interested in improving that article, because it's an important topic. As of now, though, the article is liable to be quick-failed as soon as somebody opens the review. It is very far from meeting GA criteria 2 & 4, and the prose has issues, too. It has a notice about a lack of sources and that notice is unquestionably still valid. I would strongly suggest that you withdraw the nomination, and do the grunt work of preparing the article. It cannot have unsourced paragraphs, and it needs to be based on sources analyzing the substance of the policies. If you are interested, there are some sources in my sandbox.

Pankaj, you need to carefully read WP:DUE before adding more content to the Modi page. It is not enough for a particular fact to be mentioned by a newspaper: if we added every such, the article would be enormous. The content currently in the article is not perfect. If you look at it carefully, though, you will notice that most things are cited to scholarly sources, which are of higher quality than the news media, and to international sources, which will (naturally) be better at judging the big picture because they are further removed. Indian media sources are generally used as supporting sources, or for details that incontrovertibly belong in the article, such as details of his early life or dates of specific events (like his inauguration). And I hope I don't need to remind you about BRD. Vanamonde ( talk) 07:13, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Roshen Dalal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Pam D 08:25, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Please don't add non-existent categories as you did eg here. Categories are not like articles, they should not be created as red links, per WP:NOTRED. To see the result, why not try helping to reduce the backlog at Special:WantedCategories? You might want to have a read of WP:Overcategorization - in general we want categories of 30-50 articles rather than 3-5, so it is often better to have an article in separate, more general categories such as Category:Jain monks and Category:12th-century monks and then use a WP:Category intersection tool to find 12th-century Jain monks.

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:
The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.
So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 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 equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you'd like, I can put the nomination back into the pool of nomination awaiting reviewers. Since this is such an old nomination, given that the GA Cup is in its final two weeks, it seems likely that a reviewer will pick this one because it comes with extra bonus points for being so old.

There's no actual benefit to making this change, since it requires the Wikipedia servers to redirect to Template:Infobox person anyway. This may even cause page rendering delays, if even for a fraction of a second. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 19:01, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello:
The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Jainism has been completed.
I took the liberty of removing the update tags in several sections. It seems to me that they already include enough general information that is an appropriate for the article. Others may not agree,
In the "Community" section some interesting data is included from a 2001 Indian census. This should certainly be updated with the latest figures.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Good luck with the GA nomination.

Hi, I noticed you made some edits to the article after I did the review. Please feel free to nominate articles to Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests before placing them back on the GA nomination list. This will help improve the articles you nominate to GA tremendously, as they will conform with our Wikipedia:Manual of Style. The biggest issues I see are unsourced paragraphs/sections and very short paragraphs. Bullets in introductions aren't standard either. I usually try to use Featured Article styles as reference to how GA articles should "look". Let me know if you have any questions. ComputerJA ( ☎ • ✎) 02:10, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

On 25 April 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rishabhanatha, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Rishabhanatha (statue pictured), the traditional founder of Jainism, was said to be born in the age when there was happiness all around with no work for men to do? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rishabhanatha. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Rishabhanatha), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.
So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. 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 equally.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

With
this series of edits, you changed the infobox from opt-in to opt-out. There is no consenus for that sort of dramatic change. The only way in which we are ever likely to gain consensus for infoboxes fetching Wikidata is if we can show that the infobox can be implemented on articles without changing anything in the article in the first instance. That is hugely important for infoboxes that could potentially be used in a large number of articles, but it does mean that an editor at each article has to take responsibility for activating the fetching of Wikidata by the positive action of supplying the |fetchwikidata=
parameter and giving it a value. I hope you understand. --

Please don't replace standard infoboxes with Wikidata infoboxes if they are less complete or sourced than the original version, as you are thereby making the article actievly worse. You have been reverted twice at Prachi Desai, and you have done the same at e.g. Sidharth Malhotra or Evelyn Sharma.

Hi Capankajsmilyo. The WD infoboxes you've recently made are mostly wrappers for the standard template. The end goal is to have Wikidata in the main template, not as a side template. Just a heads up – it's easier to copy the template, change it, then move that code back to the main one, instead of making a wrapper. Thanks, Laurdecl talk 06:34, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.
Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

Hello, Capankajsmilyo. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Mahavira at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne ( talk) 17:25, 3 October 2017 (UTC) |
Hello, Capankajsmilyo. You'll have seen that I have completed the copy-edit you requested at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests for
Mahavira. I'm sorry it took me so long. The weather has been great, and I've been enjoying being outdoors and have been busy. I left a number of "clarification needed" tags with accompanying hidden notes to editors (i.e., you), which you can remove when you've resolved the issues. Let me know if you have any further questions or need help formulating a sentence. I just have one thing I want to mention: normally, in articles other than those on technical or mathematics topics, I write out numbers below a hundred in full ("twenty-four" instead of "24"), but since this article contains so many ordinal numbers ("22nd", "23rd", 24th"), I thought it would be more consistent if I used the number instead of the word for cardinal numbers also (22, 23, 24).
Miniapolis, do you concur, or would you write out the words for the numbers in full – and, if so, cardinal only, or both cardinal and ordinal? I changed one short list to paragraph form; the MoS discourages lists unless absolutely necessary and appropriate. –

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup?

Hello! I am writing to you because your name is on the Tech Ambassadors list.
Per my previous message on your talk page on Meta, we're making some progress over getting a Phabricator workboard through which we can coordinate communal work. Please confirm that https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/Capankajsmilyo is your account there, by adding it to the table on Meta. ( Documentation is available if you want to create a new account.)
Finally, a friendly reminder to keep an eye on both your talk page on Meta and m:Talk:Tech/Ambassadors/List! Your voice matters and I want to make sure that we don't miss it. Thanks! Elitre (WMF) ( talk) 13:20, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Goods and Services Tax (India), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Business Today ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.
Our top scorers in round 1 were:
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 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.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Capankajsmilyo, Appreciate your recent edits, however I would ask that you work with the content that I have already added, rather than deleting and re-writing over the top.

In 2017 – 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and user groups from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program will (a) support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and (b) sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.
Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST). Useful links are as follows:

Dear Pankaj Ji, I note that you has removed information based on the article by Prof. Cort
You claims that that the text is unsourced. I should mention that Prof. Cort is among the best known scholars of Jainism. One of his sources was Buddhivilas, a widely used source on the subject, which was also cited.
What he has written is also supported by what Dr. Kasturchand Kasliwal, a distinguished author, write in his

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Jainism has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Twofingered Typist ( talk) 12:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
"connoting the path of victory in crossing over life's stream of rebirths through an ethical and spiritual life."This is in Wikipedia's voice, and it shouldn't be.
"Rishabhanatha, who is believed to have lived millions of years ago"implies historians/scholars believe him to have lived that long ago; obviously untrue. That's a Jain belief.
"The Jain Agamas suggest that Mahāvīra's approach to answering all metaphysical philosophical questions was a "qualified yes" (syāt)."This is incomprehensible to someone without a background knowledge of the subject.
"Jainism also prescribes seven supplementary vows which include three guņa vratas ("merit vows") and four śikşā vratas."Again, very difficult to understand, and definitely needs further context.
After skimming the article again, I have to amend part of what I said earlier; there are enough good sources already in the article. They just need to be used, or others found, for sections such as the "reception" section (which is at this moment just a list of quotes) and the "Jains in the modern era" section, which is once again a collection of somewhat arbitrary facts, without secondary sources tying them together or attesting to their significance.

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding discussions about the integration of Wikidata on the English Wikipedia, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Alsee ( talk) 01:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Regardless of your intent, concerns have been raised that posting Wikidata RFC link to Wikidata:Project_chat [300] was a de facto off-wiki advertizement to an audience with predictable partisan position on the issue. Please review the Canvass guidelines, with special attention to the Votestacking section. Please use more care in the future to avoid advertizing an RFC or other consensus process in a way which may be interpreted as an attempt stack the !voting in your favor.

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

His wanderings are very significant, and very well documented in detail in Diwakar's Charitra Chakravarti book. They had a significant impact on the practice of Jainism in the regions he visited. People remember his visit to their region. His arrival marked the return of the Digambar monks in the region after the gap of about 7-8 centuries. During this period, only the Bhattarakas headed the Jain institutions in much of India.
In Delhi's Sri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir, there exists a marble memorial commemorating his arrival in Delhi, the very first after a gap of several centuries. Please visit the memorial when you are in Delhi. Malaiya ( talk) 00:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Godot13, Sturmvogel 66, Vanamonde and Cwmhiraeth.

I see nobody replied to your request for a mentor. You might try looking through the list of mentors and finding someone on that list whose area of interest is not too far from your own, and asking on their talk page. Not everyone on that list necessarily watches the FAC talk page, so they may not have seen your post. Failing that, you can also look for people not on that list who have successfully taken similar articles through FAC, and see if they would be willing to advise you. Best of luck with the article.

Hello and Happy New Year!
Welcome to the 2019 WikiCup, the competition begins today. If you have already joined, your submission page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and we will set up your submissions page. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work during 2019, and which you have nominated this year, is eligible for points in the competition, the judges will be checking! Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck! The judges for the WikiCup are Sturmvogel 66 ( talk · contribs · email), Godot13 ( talk · contribs · email), Vanamonde93 ( talk · contribs · email) and Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs · email).

Heartfelt apologies for taking so long to come back to you on the request you put on my talk page. I am finally free to follow it up, unless of course you have despaired of waiting and found another editor to discuss it with instead. Let me know here if you would still like my detailed comments and suggestions. Tim riley talk 19:10, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
At last I have studied the text of the Mahavira article. The length, and the proportions of the article seem to me well judged. Indeed I wonder how much use I can be in suggesting how to improve the article, because it seems to me not far off FA quality.
One point is about the lead. It is a cardinal rule in Wikipedia that the lead should (i) summarise all important points in the main text and (ii) contain nothing that isn't in the main text. As far as I can see you have satisfied both of those requirements, and so the three citations you have in the present lead can be removed, as the main text expands on the two points with due citations.
A second point is that an article will not survive FAC if there are query tags left undealt with. I have no idea whether the "contradictory" tag in the Nirvana and moksha is justified, but you need to deal with it. Likewise the "clarification needed" tags in Texts and Teachings.
A minor point is the ordering of the citations in the text. It is generally, though not unanimously, held that multiple citations should appear in numerical order. See the second paragraph of Historical Mahavira, where you have [21][2] and the third para of Birth – [45][4].
And that really is all I can find to suggest. I think it is a fine article and I hope you can steer it through FAC at a second attempt. I see that it was peer reviewed in 2015, and as it has changed a good deal since then, I think if I were you I'd put it up for peer review again. If you do, I'll lean on a few of my regular WP collaborators to look in and give you their comments. Please keep me informed of developments. Tim riley talk 16:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Prabalsagar, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

The second round of the 2019 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to scored 32 points to advance into round 3. Our top four scorers in round 2 all scored over 400 points and were:
Other notable performances were put in by Barkeep49 with six GAs, Ceranthor, Lee Vilenski, and Canada Hky, each with seven GARs, and MPJ-DK with a seven item GT.
So far contestants have achieved nine featured articles between them and a splendid 80 good articles. Commendably, 227 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2019 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. The judges are pleased with the thorough GARs that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. 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.

The article Ashwin Porwal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Article appears to be an attempted promotion created by an editor that has done the same for other individual doctors in India. See also WP:EXIST and WP:NOTDIRECTORY.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. ---

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ashwin Porwal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 17:56, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Acharya Vidyasagar has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I do not know enough about the subject to understand why the GA reviewer feels there are POV issues.
