Wiki article help

Hello, I am a freshman at Clemson University working on a wikipedia article for my English 103 class and was wondering if you had any advice on how I could improve the content I added. I plan to add more content and more sources for the final paper. (I noticed you wrote on the talk page for the article on Nikki Haley which is the article I am working on). So far, the content I have posted has stayed up. I would appreciate any advice you have for me. Here's the link to my talk page.

Need a little help with Indian-American article

Some dude deleted a lot of stuff. -- Dangerous-Boy

I can't tell if this guy is vandalizing on the Indian American and Asian American article. I think adding Asian Indian is redundant and drastically changes the tone of the article. It's already mention in the beggining of the article and in classification. -- Dangerous-Boy

Hi,

I agree w/ the comment you left on my page. Glanced at your blog. Something made me think youmight enjoy a book by Julian Jaynes, "The Origin of Consiousness in the Breakdown of he Bicameral Mind" (or something like that). His theories are presented "over the top" and quite exagerated, but otherwise built on a sound basis. They do provide some insight into why people act the way they do. linas 00:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Race classification on Indian American article

You might want to check that section out again. User:Dark Tichondrias was messing with it and adding a tripod site as a reference that doesn't look very reliable. -- Dangerous-Boy 17:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC) reply

So his is information correct? I remember Indians being classified as caucasian although many in the eastern part of India are of mongoloid origin.-- Dangerous-Boy 02:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC) reply
In general, I don't like the idea of having a lot of information about what international anthropologists or geneticists say when the article is concerning Indian Americans. It seems like any broadly scientific explanation of race should be on a page about Indians or about Racial Classification of Indians and not about Indian Americans. Given that the article is concerning Indian Americans, I feel only relevant information from U.S. Courts, U.S. Census, and perhaps the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (and maybe U.S. public and private universities) should be included. It makes sense that U.S.-specific categorization of race should be on an Indian American page. The only anthropological or genetic racial classification mentioned in the article should be those points which the U.S. Courts examined and passed judgement on; any other factoids seem extraneous. All this said, I feel that if I remove any of the irrelevant data from the article a revert war would ensue, so I haven't bothered to remove anything. Still, I want to make sure that the table of U.S. court verdicts on race maintains its veracity and my revert earlier to resync the table with the primary source was testament to my vigilance. Thoreaulylazy 08:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC) reply
You might want to reconsider looking at the racial classification page. After seeing dark tic uploading this pic: Image:Kenneth Omura Sun Bikini 4.JPG and making articles like Asian people, I'm beginning to think he's a vandal. -- D-Boy 06:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Your defintion of a vandal is not based on official Wikipedia policy.You had called the change I made to the Indian American article, changing Indian American to Asian-Indian, article vandalism. I know this term disagreed with you, but that does not make it vandalism. You have called the addition of a picture of myself, an Asian example, to the Asian people page vandalism. There were no free-use Asian pictures, so I added a free-use example from the only person with whom I have permission--myself. I consider unjustified accusation that I'm a vandal which is a different accusation than I have vandalized a Wikipedia:No personal attacks#Examples of personal attacks due to your repetition of accusation which you have not justified. -- Dark Tichondrias 04:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply
I indented your comment, assuming you were replying to D-Boy. In regards to Indian American vs Asian Indian, I think Wikipedia, as an international repository, should use names that are well understood. An Asian Indian article to a Frenchman would not mean an article about those in the USA of Indian descent, especially since the term 'Asian Indian' doesn't even elicit the name of America. In fact, even in the US, the term 'Asian Indian' doesn't always correspond to Indian Americans, as it often is used to reference people from India who still live in India, so as to avoid the confusion with Native Americans in those parts of the US where 'Indian' still means Native American as its first interpretation, which is common in the vernacular of rural USA. Fortunately, for brevity's sake, as India creeps further into mainstream literature and periodicals, the term 'Indian' is increasingly returning to its original meaning of 'from India', and 'Native American' is increasingly the disambiguator, rendering 'Asian Indian' a less and less needed phrase.

Regarding Pakistan and their pre-islamic heritage

What you said is mostly true, except that there are many, if not most, diasporic Pakistanis who do feel proud of a pre-islamic past. Its more in what they choose to feel proud of. The thing is however that they like to emphasize certain aspects over others. Like, they dont acknowledge Hinduism or Brahamanism or what not. After the Indus civilization, they will much rather look to the Achaemenid imperial era, the Greco-Buddhist era, the Buddhist imperial era, the Parthians, Scythians, Sassanians, Kushans, etc and other distinctly northwest Indian events to emphasize their historical "separateness" from India, when in reality, these separate events are no more separate from the rest of India than an Assam Ahom invasion or the South Indian trading empires are. Out of nationalistic pride, Pakistanis have this obsession to emphasize that they were a Buddhist and Zoroastrian nation historically rather than Hindu when they fail to realize that all of India was Buddhist at the time, and at the time of the Arab invasion, Punjab and Paki-administered Kashmir were all Hindu and NWFP was a Hindu kingdom. All in all, they like to pick out certain parts of their past over others, like Buddhism over Hinduism, to fulfill a nationalist vision of a continuous "Pakistani civilization" as opposed to being part of Indian civilization. Very few Pakistanis, as you said, however, feel any pride in their Vedic past. There are those who do. You just have to find them. All in all though, you are right.

Thank you for uploading Image:Himachal Pradesh tribal women in traditional dress.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 00:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC) reply

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Himachal_Pradesh_tribal_women_in_traditional_dress.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{ di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 16:03, 14 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Hello Thoreaulylazy (great username, by the way). The version of the article on the Cornell Club that I deleted was a scant two sentences long and made no effort to assert the notability of the club. We judge each article on it's own merits, and not simply based on the existence (or non-existence) of other similar articles. That being said, your version of the article is clearly much better than the one that I deleted and is on a par with the other similar articles you referenced. So, I have no intention of pursuing its deletion.-- Kubigula ( talk) 04:03, 25 September 2010 (UTC) reply

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Wiki article help

Hello, I am a freshman at Clemson University working on a wikipedia article for my English 103 class and was wondering if you had any advice on how I could improve the content I added. I plan to add more content and more sources for the final paper. (I noticed you wrote on the talk page for the article on Nikki Haley which is the article I am working on). So far, the content I have posted has stayed up. I would appreciate any advice you have for me. Here's the link to my talk page.

Need a little help with Indian-American article

Some dude deleted a lot of stuff. -- Dangerous-Boy

I can't tell if this guy is vandalizing on the Indian American and Asian American article. I think adding Asian Indian is redundant and drastically changes the tone of the article. It's already mention in the beggining of the article and in classification. -- Dangerous-Boy

Hi,

I agree w/ the comment you left on my page. Glanced at your blog. Something made me think youmight enjoy a book by Julian Jaynes, "The Origin of Consiousness in the Breakdown of he Bicameral Mind" (or something like that). His theories are presented "over the top" and quite exagerated, but otherwise built on a sound basis. They do provide some insight into why people act the way they do. linas 00:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Race classification on Indian American article

You might want to check that section out again. User:Dark Tichondrias was messing with it and adding a tripod site as a reference that doesn't look very reliable. -- Dangerous-Boy 17:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC) reply

So his is information correct? I remember Indians being classified as caucasian although many in the eastern part of India are of mongoloid origin.-- Dangerous-Boy 02:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC) reply
In general, I don't like the idea of having a lot of information about what international anthropologists or geneticists say when the article is concerning Indian Americans. It seems like any broadly scientific explanation of race should be on a page about Indians or about Racial Classification of Indians and not about Indian Americans. Given that the article is concerning Indian Americans, I feel only relevant information from U.S. Courts, U.S. Census, and perhaps the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (and maybe U.S. public and private universities) should be included. It makes sense that U.S.-specific categorization of race should be on an Indian American page. The only anthropological or genetic racial classification mentioned in the article should be those points which the U.S. Courts examined and passed judgement on; any other factoids seem extraneous. All this said, I feel that if I remove any of the irrelevant data from the article a revert war would ensue, so I haven't bothered to remove anything. Still, I want to make sure that the table of U.S. court verdicts on race maintains its veracity and my revert earlier to resync the table with the primary source was testament to my vigilance. Thoreaulylazy 08:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC) reply
You might want to reconsider looking at the racial classification page. After seeing dark tic uploading this pic: Image:Kenneth Omura Sun Bikini 4.JPG and making articles like Asian people, I'm beginning to think he's a vandal. -- D-Boy 06:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC) reply
Your defintion of a vandal is not based on official Wikipedia policy.You had called the change I made to the Indian American article, changing Indian American to Asian-Indian, article vandalism. I know this term disagreed with you, but that does not make it vandalism. You have called the addition of a picture of myself, an Asian example, to the Asian people page vandalism. There were no free-use Asian pictures, so I added a free-use example from the only person with whom I have permission--myself. I consider unjustified accusation that I'm a vandal which is a different accusation than I have vandalized a Wikipedia:No personal attacks#Examples of personal attacks due to your repetition of accusation which you have not justified. -- Dark Tichondrias 04:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply
I indented your comment, assuming you were replying to D-Boy. In regards to Indian American vs Asian Indian, I think Wikipedia, as an international repository, should use names that are well understood. An Asian Indian article to a Frenchman would not mean an article about those in the USA of Indian descent, especially since the term 'Asian Indian' doesn't even elicit the name of America. In fact, even in the US, the term 'Asian Indian' doesn't always correspond to Indian Americans, as it often is used to reference people from India who still live in India, so as to avoid the confusion with Native Americans in those parts of the US where 'Indian' still means Native American as its first interpretation, which is common in the vernacular of rural USA. Fortunately, for brevity's sake, as India creeps further into mainstream literature and periodicals, the term 'Indian' is increasingly returning to its original meaning of 'from India', and 'Native American' is increasingly the disambiguator, rendering 'Asian Indian' a less and less needed phrase.

Regarding Pakistan and their pre-islamic heritage

What you said is mostly true, except that there are many, if not most, diasporic Pakistanis who do feel proud of a pre-islamic past. Its more in what they choose to feel proud of. The thing is however that they like to emphasize certain aspects over others. Like, they dont acknowledge Hinduism or Brahamanism or what not. After the Indus civilization, they will much rather look to the Achaemenid imperial era, the Greco-Buddhist era, the Buddhist imperial era, the Parthians, Scythians, Sassanians, Kushans, etc and other distinctly northwest Indian events to emphasize their historical "separateness" from India, when in reality, these separate events are no more separate from the rest of India than an Assam Ahom invasion or the South Indian trading empires are. Out of nationalistic pride, Pakistanis have this obsession to emphasize that they were a Buddhist and Zoroastrian nation historically rather than Hindu when they fail to realize that all of India was Buddhist at the time, and at the time of the Arab invasion, Punjab and Paki-administered Kashmir were all Hindu and NWFP was a Hindu kingdom. All in all, they like to pick out certain parts of their past over others, like Buddhism over Hinduism, to fulfill a nationalist vision of a continuous "Pakistani civilization" as opposed to being part of Indian civilization. Very few Pakistanis, as you said, however, feel any pride in their Vedic past. There are those who do. You just have to find them. All in all though, you are right.

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Himachal_Pradesh_tribal_women_in_traditional_dress.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{ di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Hello Thoreaulylazy (great username, by the way). The version of the article on the Cornell Club that I deleted was a scant two sentences long and made no effort to assert the notability of the club. We judge each article on it's own merits, and not simply based on the existence (or non-existence) of other similar articles. That being said, your version of the article is clearly much better than the one that I deleted and is on a par with the other similar articles you referenced. So, I have no intention of pursuing its deletion.-- Kubigula ( talk) 04:03, 25 September 2010 (UTC) reply

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
