User:Ganeshbot has completed its run. It created 3,531 articles. It did not create 1,637 articles since another article with the same name existed.
I need your help with the following activities.

I've found two sites which have a pretty comprehensive STD and PIN codes:
Just wondering if your bot could also scrub these sites and add non-existant towns; and include STD+PIN codes to the locations. =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Ganeshk, suppose I convert the csv file to Hindi (daunting task that will take atleast a month after I start), and also make a prototype article for one town, shouldn't it be quite easy for you to replace some strings in your program with their Hindi versions, and run the bot on the Hindi wikipedia ? (Incidently, that will skyrocket the number of articles there from around 1300 to over 5000.) Once the file is in Devanagari, it will be easy to convert it to some other Indian languages using something like this. Do you think this is a feasible idea? deeptrivia ( talk) 14:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi - I've had some detailed talks with user:Spasage on the sensitive issue of national identity between India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. We've come up with some ideas on how to resolve the problem, through a disambiguation page for both "India" and "Indian." Obviously its a big move, so please weigh in here [1].

The "Criticism of Hinduism" article was PROD-tagged by a brand-new account (<50 edits). Naturally, I have deprodded and put up the proposal for a vote. Please register a view on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism of Hinduism. Regards, ImpuMozhi 03:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello everybody. I think that people may want to keep a close eye on this article, as there seems to be a big POV dispute here. Seems like a few users, including two brand new accounts and one of our favourite wikipedians have been editwarring with User:Subhash bose, who happens to have been given a 1-week block by me because he called other users terrorists, bombers and Hezbollah on the talk page. Now that he is out of the picture, it looks as though one side will have a free run so somebody knowledged in this should please keep a close eye out for it. Many thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 03:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC).

I believe this is a wake-up call for all of us: See Talk:Calculus#A_desperate_call_to_our_Indian_friends. The issue was raised by an anon, but later endorsed by other editors. Please take a look. -- thunderboltza.k.a.D eepu Joseph | TALK06:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Two editors with severely conflicting POVs have taken to editing at this page. All I've tried to do is make the headings conform with WP:MoS, especially since they are full of POV. But I have been quickly reverted. Some attention is required on this page. Nobleeagle (Talk) 01:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
please keep an eye on the Communist Party of India (Marxist) articles, as User: 203.199.60.3, the notorious self-proclaimed 'Indian National Congress - IT Cell', is readding long passages of POV rants. -- Soman 07:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I have noticed it long that people post DYKs for Main Page, but none for Portal:India. In fact for the past one and half month, I had to add nearly every India related DYK to the Portal Page myself. DYKs worth appearing on Main Page are automatically worth Portal:India, and even many DYKs that wouldn't make up to the Main Page can be included in the Portal Page. I request the editors to also consider the Portal while submitting DYKs. We should justify why Portal:India is featured. — Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 11:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I dont know whether the 5 day limit on the main page is the max or min limit, but we should allow DYKs to stay for atleast some time and should not have more than a certain number at any given time. This would allow some exposure to the listed DYKs/articles. Of course I know right now the reverse is true (we have a paucity) but it should change soon. What do you guys think? -- Lost 17:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Anwar saadat ( talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log) has again been edit warring, and now he combines blanking of text and references with fact templates and says, because of the fact templates in the same edit as the vandalism, the vandalism cannot be reverted. In the Babri Mosque article, he has first blanked text and references. Now he deletes references and text and in the same edit he adds the citation needed template for the citation he just deleted. [3] Then he claims that his vandalism cannot be reverted because in the same edit he also added these tags. See this for some details.
Anwar, (who might also be [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]), has already a history of edit warring and personal attacks and has been blocked three times already. [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] The section headers of warnings on his talkpage are also deleted [15], if they are not completely removed. -- Msiev 09:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
In response to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Anwar saadat, I have blocked Anwar for a month. Blnguyen | rant-line 07:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Edit war is underway at Shiv Sena. Hardline POV material is added from both anti- and pro-Sena people, leaving the article in a pure mess. It ought to be possible, through a collective effort, to rewrite the article and work out a consensus that: 1) gives prominence to the role played by SS in Indian politics (for example its role in state and central governance), 2) deals with controversial issues in balanced way, most of all without making reference to every single incident involving shivsainiks, 3) neither glorifies nor demonises. -- Soman 16:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed several projects doing a rating of the articles. See Talk:Delhi Mass Rapid Transit System for example. I feel we should have something similar for India related articles. We could start with the City and District projects. This would really help the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team. Let me know if this already exists somewhere? - Ganeshk ( talk) 18:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I have created a new project Wikipedia:WikiProject India (with grateful thanks to Australia) that would be the root project for all India related projects and activities. Noticeboard can be used as place for general discussions.
Under the project are some cool departments,
The main reason I started is to add rating to India related articles. Check out Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment for all details. Hopefully we should merge all old style assessment into this new format which is cleaner and easier. 1-800-Please join in. :) - Ganeshk ( talk) 06:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
The article regarding the Bengal 1943 famine mentions no famines in India since the end of British colonialism; but surely the Bangladesh famine of the early 1970's is relevant here? I don't know enough about it to write anything myself. -- Justinmo 20:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me or is this version of the Khalistan page POV. It is very Anti-Hindu, I must say that the other version in the revert war is POV as well, but its POV because it leaves out some of the story, instead of glorifying the pro-Khalistan side. Hope Sukh can come back for a while, ever since he left this Zafarnamah or something has been taking control of the page. Can someone step in and tell the user to stop this pointless revert war.

Please can everyone take a look at the revert wars going on at Template:Castes and Tribes of the Punjab. Rajatjghai contacted me regarding it, but I'm not in a position to get involved because I don't know too much about this.
Basically, it involves issues with labelling certain castes/tribes as Kshatriyas. Rajatjghai has detailed the issues on my talk page - see User_talk:Sukh#Hi. Thanks! Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 20:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello all: I've put in a request at WP:RM for the article on NTR at Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao to be moved to N.T. Rama Rao. Can't do it myself, as the latter page has a non-empty history. The reason it has a nonempty history is that the original NTR page was created at NTR, and then large numbers of startled admins flocked along - in 2003, before substantial Indian presence here - and moved it to the full name as title. This is, of course, not conventional for any South Indian names here - consider the articles on MGR, M. Karunanidhi, EMS Nambodiripad or N. Chandrababu Naidu. Since the WP:RM page seems to have a truly amazing backlog, It would be nice if someone speedied the move.
Incidentally, on a tangential point, why is there such a backlog on that page? It seems like something admins might enjoy doing. Hornplease 09:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
