Regarding the excerpt from Ahmad Shah's letter to Madho Singh, the material seems to be completely irrelavent and imaginary for the article. I mean, what do you mean by the breeze of victory flowing, the divine lord willing..., words like wretched, utter... shouldn't be there in this article. It's better if we just stick to facts.Kesangh (talk) 12:27, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is clear from the edits of User talk:Mytestid1980 that he is doing this deliberately, to vent out his personal frustrations and to spread rumours. He has again and again reverted the reverts made by you and me. This user needs to be barred from editing as he is doing all possible things to spread rumours. Let’s not be a mute spectator of such a non-sense. Appeal to Wikipedia administrators to stop User talk:Mytestid1980 immidiately from editing Wikipedia articles or atleast he should be given a stern warning. Talk to me if there’s any update on this matter, i’ll be glad to help. Kesangh (talk) 16:43, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the first paragraph of this article, why did you shift the reference ("Maratha Confederacy", Encyclopedia Britannica) from the middle of the sentence to its end. The reference was provided only for the fact that the Marathas possessed French supplied artillery. The Afghan cavalry in the third battle of Panipat was equipped with armor, shaturnals or cannons and had choicest of Persian horses at their disposal. Considering this, the Afghan cavalry used in this battle definitely seems to be a heavy cavalry and not light cavalry. What say? Kesangh (talk) 17:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I learnt on a cyclone article of late. If there's a punctuatn mark, cites go after it. Hometech (talk) 18:01, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just stopped by to thank you for your work on the article. Quite disheartening that the article suffers the brunt of editors' willingness to recreate already solved issues, but happy to see you working. Anyway, welcome and regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:13, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should we go for GA status or are you planning directly for FA. Kensplanet^T_C 07:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recently few Users have massively revamped Uttar Pradesh article. Although any positive edits are welcomed but large scale revisions and revamps are advised to be done after discussion and consensus especially on articles of priority. As you have been quite active on this article you are invited to participate in discussions on talk:Uttar Pradesh

--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider Rizvi^talk! 11:10, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry friend, might is not right on Wiki but vice versa is true. I have just proposed a review with consensus rather than a rampat one so that we are sure that every thing is moving in right direction & nothing is missed. This invitation is still open to all editors including you. Your interst in the article and your efforts are quite noticable. You are an old editor in new avatar so lets do it, I also know that this article is in very bad shape.

I'll be on wikibreak from today till next wednesday, so you can have a go till then with other editors.

--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider Rizvi^talk! 11:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Ht, Uttar Pradesh article, although being improved by well meaning Wikipedians, has to go a long way still to be like e.g. the articles on Karnataka and Andhra. You know that, UP is much larger than both of them combined, has a long, tumultuous, Pan-Asiatic history and tremendous social/cultural diversity; its matter is going to be enormous and diverse (some times appearing like a laundry list, as you unfortunately wrote some time back). Will it not be a good idea that, in stead of deleting what appears to be too much info on any one point, the person desiring deletion goes a little further to create a 'child article' which may be referred to in the main UP article. We know that building any thing is hard and demolishing takes very little time, but we may then try to retain this way some one's genuine efforts, in my humble opinion. As a dynamic contributor, you may consider airing your views on it to others, if you agree with me. In my case, I confine my contributions to periodic 'copy edits' or to what is every day scene in UP but may be informative for distant outsiders. Regards.

Thanks Hometech for going through the artcle! Speaking about the serial- Raja ShivChhatrapati(aired on Star Pravah), the website of the channel is- www.starpravah.com. Somehow i am not able to access the website. It would be really nice if someone else or if possible you could get the necessary info about the serial from the website. Kesangh (talk) 08:14, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well Hometech, i didn't start watching the serial for the purpose of noting down the facts and using it for Wikipedia. So i didn't note down the episode number while watching it. I don't even know the episode number which is currently being aired(However, i do know that the serial has completed 100 episodes). Is it not enough to just know the serial title, the network airing the serial and the people associated with it. Is mentioning the episode no. that important? Kesangh (talk) 18:14, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please be careful while mentioning the names of leaders like Shivaji. The instance i am talking about is the title of the subsection you recently created on my talkpage. The first letter wasn't capitalised. It is a small mistake but be a bit careful. Kesangh (talk) 09:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I didn't notice your request (it got buried under other additions to my talk page!). I'm tied up with work and can only desultorily work on articles but looks like you've got your work cut out for you with Sikkim anyway. Most of the stuff that is cited by the government pr sites can probably be found on JSTOR or in books. You'll need access to those if you're going to save this article. --RegentsPark (My narrowboat) 20:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking up the Kerala article. Hope your clean up will help maintain the article's FA status. Salih (talk) 04:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 15:35, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The image is not my own - it was provided by a third party, who at that time claimed it to be his own work. However, it later turned out that was not the case, and hence the copyright status had to be changed. Hope this clarifies. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 12:16, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Kerala article said the following "A 3rd-century-BC rock inscription by emperor Asoka the Great attests to a Keralaputra.^{[clarification needed]}" but I note you have removed the clarification tag. This is the English wiki, so could you either explain what keralaputra means, or replace the tag. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 20:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was very suprised to see my article nominated for appriasal for upgradation to GA class. You may like to nominate Siri Fort, Salimgarh Fort, Chitradurga Fort and also Chittorgarh Fort for this upgradation. Please let me know if I have to do anything in this regard. Thanks.--Nvvchar (talk) 14:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats for the GA. I did not get the GA credit as article creator. In case you nominate any of my articles in the future, please give a message and preferably such nominations should be jointly done so that the original craetor of DYK also gets the due credit.--Nvvchar (talk) 00:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article List of tourist attractions in Hyderabad has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Original research, lacking in reliable sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Chzz  ►  12:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hometech. I think we need a better combination of Images in the History sections. Would you like to comment on Talk:Mumbai#One more Image in the History section for a quick consensus. I have also modified the History section. Could you even scan the prose. Thankyou, Kensplanet^T_C 19:33, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article Persecution of Sikhs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Redundant to First Sikh Holocaust and Second Sikh Holocaust, with uncredited verbatim text from both articles.

Here are some images of Art Deco style in Mumbai:

• File:NewIndiaAssuranceBdg.jpg
• dozens of images in this flickr photostream. All are good resolution and have compatible license!

Note that the buildings along Marine Drive, as well as many movie theaters in South Bombay including Eros, Regal, Liberty, Metro etc are examples of Art Deco architecture - this may help search for more/better images for use in Mumbai, Architecture of Mumbai and other related articles. Sharada Dwivedi and Rahul Mehrotra's Bombay, the Cities Within has lots of information about the development of architecture in Bombay, and frankly books by experts like these should be preferred sources over newspapers, magazines and generic websites. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 11:30, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've addressed some of your concerns. Can you go take a look, maybe suggest some more suggestions or express your opinion? I've also added ALT text to all images recently. Perhaps these new changes to the article may change your opinion about the "FA ness" of the article?Teeninvestor (talk) 17:53, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please read What vandalism is not right away. Whatever you reverted in this edit was clearly not vandalism, it was all either formatting changes (for example, removing the spaces around emdashes). rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 18:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry i was trying to revert something else. Hometech (talk) 18:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please see. I added the ISBN and OCLC. I made it more apparent that the list was blockquoted (by using BR to format within standard blockquote instead of just doing the left side indent). Ottava Rima (talk) 19:35, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to review these articles. I have responded again at Talk:Four Quartets and at Talk:Conversation poems. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the articlehistory template, that was populating the error category, because there were more errors than I had time to fix at Talk:White Dog (book). Please read the instructions at Template:Articlehistory (the DYK also needs to be incorporated), and the entries were out of order and had other errors. Alternately, just leave a GA template on the page and wait for another editor to update articlehistory. In the future, if you update an articlehistory, please scroll to the bottom of the talk page to see if the red error cat is lit up. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:08, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just a bump to let you know that I've followed-up on the recommendations you made for the good article nomination of Michael Bishop (author). Thanks for looking it over and offering any further advice. Mhhutchins (talk) 15:42, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you appear to be reviewing Four Quartets, but your comments are on the article's talk page, not the review page (see Talk:Four Quartets/GA1). Did you mean to add the review comments there, instead, and transclude the review page back unto the main talk page? Also, are you going to note you placed the article on hold, at WP:GAN? Thanks for your time and for reviewing GAs, Cirt (talk) 05:50, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On Sept 6 you began review of: Talk:Michael Bishop (author)#GA on hold [1] The nominator responded on Sept 9 but you have not replied and have gone inactive. To move things along I can help complete the review. If you are still around during this review, please contribute here: Talk:Michael Bishop (author)/GA1. --maclean (talk) 02:32, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on what the focus of the page should be. Why don't you list this on the article talk page and WP:RM? If the consensus is to broaden the scope of the article, it can then be moved. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 17:05, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We (at WP:Mumbai) are trying to arrange for a Creative Commons specialist to talk to Art Galleries and Museums in Mumbai and explain the different types of Creative Commons licenses to them (and advise them which ones are accepted on Wikipedia). This is part of WP:GLAM - trying to get them to release content under a Wikipedia acceptable license. Would you be interested in attending such a session?

Hello Hometech, I just wanted to let you know that I took a look at your recently created article Architecture of Uttar Pradesh-- This image is real great.However, I noticed there are some holes that may need filling: the article is confusing. I do not understand what you are trying to say.It would be great if you could also add references to the related article Sarnath Museum.

I'm kind of new here myself but let me know if there is any way I can help. Thanks, Amy Z (talk) 04:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hometech,

I recently sent you a message about Architecture of Uttar Pradesh.

I am a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University examining how to make interaction in Wikipedia more effective. Our research has shown that certain types of feedback encourage Wikipedians to edit more while others seem to discourage them. Experienced and less experienced Wikipedians seem to have different reactions to very similar feedback. I am interested in interviewing you about your reaction to the message I sent you. A discussion with you will help us better understand the types of feedback that can encourage newcomers's participation to Wikipedia without turning off old-timers.

I can talk with you via online chat, on Skype, over the phone, or just through Wikipedia messages if you are more comfortable with that. The interview should take take less than 60 minutes. You do need to be over 18 years old, and consent to be a part of the study in order to for me to interview you. This study has been approved by Carnegie Mellon's research ethics committee (the IRB), and the Wikipedia Research Committee.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. We will be glad to send you a draft describing our research results right after the interview.

Amy Z (talk) 04:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timeline of the Syrian civil war (from January 2013), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Patriot (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:53, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
