[edit] Tiptur

Hey Leotolstoy, Why did you remove our contribution under Tiptur?? Have you ever been there? Is anything wrong with you? Please justify your action.

FYI, I have visited Tiptur a few times and my home is less that 50 miles from that place. But that does not matter. If you present evidences along with your edits I will gladly accept any changes you make. I suggest you to read Wikipedia:No_original_research and Wikipedia:Verifiability before editing. Anyways I would prefer to have this discussion on Talk:Tiptur than here. Leotolstoy 17:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Wikiality

Thank you for experimenting with the page Wilkiality on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

[edit] Kaveri River

Hi Leotolstoy. Thank you for adding the info box to Kaveri River. Unfortunately, in my browser, it gets mixed with the table of contents. I have poor eyesight and so I have text larger than many people. Perhaps you know how to fix this. If not, I will try. However, I did wish to make you aware of the problem, so that if possible it can be avoided in the future. --BostonMA 16:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks, that fixed it! :-) --BostonMA 16:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Kittur.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kittur.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to India project

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
  • Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Ganeshk (talk) 18:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UMass Amherst

Hi, I noticed you've been helping out with the UMass Amherst article. You asked a question about Tim Wu. Tim Wu lives on my floor. He's not a noted alumni. If you look through the history of the article, you'll see various spam comments about the sexual exploits of the same Tim Wu. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help on the UMass Amherst article.

[edit] Tourism

Thanks for working on Karnataka page. Instead of making the Tourism section very short, please consider creating a concise paragraph for it and attach a main article linked to it giving full details of tourism with

Main article: Karnataka Toursim
.

The whole idea is not only bring out the beauty of Karnataka, but also help improve tourism in the state. Providing full details in a seperate linked page really helps rather than just deleting existing material.Dineshkannambadi 18:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Email

Can you please enable "email" option in your user preferences? This way we can keep in touch by email also.Dineshkannambadi 22:30, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Karnataka tourism

Karnataka tourism is an interesting article, but it seems wholly inappropriate for wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a tourist guide, so it's not really appropriate to use the same sort of voice or topic. You might want to try submitting that material at Wikitravel, or rewriting it to be more in line with our content policies and style guide. I'd especially recommend that you read up on WP:NPOV, along with the No original research policy, which prohibits inserting opinions (your own or others) into articles as fact.

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Leotolstoy

Hello! I have temporarily removed your RfA link on the RfA page as it needs some attention. I think that the nomination statement currently appears at the bottom of the page - this needs to go in the YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER section. Some editors will see this as a mark against you, which doesn't have to be the case at all. The link can be easily reinserted when the page is formatted. Regards and good luck with your application!

[edit] Your RFA

For what it's worth, even though I had voted oppose on your RFA, I complained (well, gently objected) to Steel359 for closing it early. You may want to ask this user directly about the early closing. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 01:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA was snowballed because there were five times the number of opposes to supports and it was clear that it wasn't going to pass. You yourself said that you intended to withdraw it. Nothing productive would have resulted from leaving the RfA open. Early closure of RfAs is not uncommon. -- Steel 14:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Steel359, I agree with everything except "Nothing productive would have resulted from leaving the RfA open." Most editors in this case will state the reasons behind an oppose, which can be useful information to the nominee. Since Leo had twice stated his desire to keep the RfA open, I think that this should not have been closed by an admin, but rather only by a bureaucrat. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 20:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Cartography Department (Shortcut:WP:INMAP): The Department of Cartography within the WikiProject India is a group of wikipedians who work on providing quality maps related to India. Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information on places, districts and states of India. As a thumb rule, maps serve better if they are in SVG format. The location maps by the cartography department has helped us include location information based on latitudes and longitudes for a give place within India. The Indian Roadways map is a featured image, one amongst the few best road maps in the world. Still, there is more work to be done. There are 604 districts in India (see List of districts of India), and each district page needs a map of that district. You can help too. Contact the Cartography Department to learn how you can help in making the best maps in Wikipedia to be India-related!

[edit] Bangalore International Airport Limited

Hi Leotolstoy, You are one of the active contributors among Karnataka and airport related articles. Can you please look into the discussion I have initiated in User_talk:Indiandefender2's page regarding, the article name on "Bangalore International Airport Limited" ? If you have any inputs, please provide. Thanks - KNM Talk 21:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject India Newsletter: Volume I, Issue 3 - December 2006

Project News
  • Name change of cities in Karnataka: A straw poll was conducted on the proposal to change the name of cities in Karnataka, per the Nov 1, 2006 decision by the Karnataka government to rename them from the current anglicised forms. The result of the poll was to change the names. As controversial as the decision may be in the real world, the article Bangalore in Wikipedia still reflects the old name. You may be interested in knowing why. Dig the archives.
  • New Project Noticeboard (Shortcut:WP:INB): WikiProject India now sports a new colourful centralised noticeboard. An effort to make the noticeboard current and dynamic was mooted a few days back, and Ganeshk came up with the new format. The new noticeboard will strive to be the one-stop shop for all project related information. The shortcut is WP:INB.
  • Members List: The old members list is being phased out to give way for the new members list. New members are requested to add their names to the new members list. As the newsletter grows, further issues of the Project Newsletter will be delivered to those enlisted in the new list. So dash down now, to check if ur name is in there.

Note from Editor's Desk
  • Welcome to the December 2006 edition of our newsletter. Time flies past like matter into the black hole. It is interesting to notice that we are already into the last month for the year of 2006. 2006 saw discussions and development beyond realisation. In the world of Wikipedia where quality counts than quantity, we have come a long way. We've made better than 'nothing', to say the least, and even that is an achievement. I take this opportunity to thank everyone including those who have dotted the i's and crossed the t's.
  • As before, we'd like to stress, this is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips. It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community. If you have received or given any barnstars recently, do let us know. Sponsored content for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome. We'll be very happy to include them here.
  • Before we sign off, Advance New Year Wishes, everyone.

  • How to?: The "how to" part of assessment is very simple. Just head on to the talk page of any India related page and you'll find the {{WP India}} template. Simply classify the article based on the content and the criteria mentioned here. You can find the detailed instructions here. If you think it may qualify for GA/FA status, first consider submitting the article for peer review.
