[edit] Holi wishes
Thanks for your wishes. Wish you the same. Currently I am also in US. So unfortunately end up seeing white snows instead of bright colours of Holi. --Indianstar 17:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Skyline image
You have marked this image Image:DowntownBombay.jpg as GFDL. If this is your original photograph, you need to mention so. If not, then we have to prove that the original work is GFDL. Please reply. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
This image is small and not a representative of the skyline. In absence of a good representative, I suggest using an excellent existing image of mumbai skyline from great powers page. The amount of displacement it makes to the box is almost exactly what is seen in other good city pages like one for chicago. Also copyright issues with this image have already been settled.

I understand your enthusiasm in pushing for your skyline image but it is very poor representative of the city skyline. It shows only three major buildings and most of the real state of the image is dedicated to useless water in front. I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mumbai_construction.jpg is a better representative of the skyline. Also as far as pushing the box down is concerned, I dont think thats a biggy if you look at other major city pages - Chicago, New York City. No matter how small a image you put above the box, the box is never going to totally visible without scroll (also this is dependent on user screen size) so we might as well remove box visibility as a constraint and put a decent picture up there. do let me know your thoughts on this.

[edit] India Demographics
Because of India's rich diversity, no one image can represent all of India's one billion people. That is why I propose selecting a new demographics image every three months. This would allow for a regional balance and would show India as a whole. Many people have agreed that this is the only way to represent India's rich and varied diversity. Since you have voted for a change in the demographics section, I wanted to update you on this proposal. I would love to hear your comments on talk:India. Thanks so much. Have a great day!

[edit] Pic DowntownBombay
Saying "I made this picture" is not enough. Did you crop/edit a photo, or are you the photographer. If you're the former, then you need to get permission from the original author. If you come under the latterm you need to state the date, time and location. This image may be put of for deletion if it is not found to be free. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Also, if you really took the image, do you have higher resolution versions (that show some EXIF data) available? Right now, the image looks very much like the usual low-res images posted on the Internet web pages. --Ragib 13:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please be civil and non-disruptive
Nikkul, Please be civil on the India page by not personalizing arguments , as you did here. Also, as has been pointed out before, please indent your messages properly and avoid "shouting" by using "ALL CAPS" and indiscriminate bolding. Your current actions, if continued, may be considered disruptive and violation of wikipedia policies on assume good faith , no personal attacks and civility and can lead to you being blocked from editing.

[edit] Copyvios
Dear Nikkul, It seems that you may have inadvertently committed a copyvio on the New Delhi page. You had added the text: "Delhi is a cosmopolitan city due to the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural presence of the vast Indian bureaucracy and political system, and expanding economy. There are more than 160 embassies and an ever-growing expatriate population." (See here.) This is a direct cut and paste from the website: World Wind Energy. In other places, you have directly copied the text from the Delhi article. What is true for Delhi is not true for New Delhi, especially demographics. I have therefore reverted your additions. Next time, please paraphrase the material more before you add it to a Wikipedia article. Thanks! Fowler&fowler«Talk» 05:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Nikkul, Thanks for replying. The problem with using the demographics of Delhi for those of New Delhi is that both the populations densities and the ethnicities are different for New Delhi and Old Delhi. For example, Old Delhi is much more crowded than New Delhi; consequently, this increases the population density of Delhi (which included both New and Old Delhis), but not that of New Delhi. In other words, the population density of New Delhi will likely be lower than that of Delhi. Similarly, there are likely more Muslims in Old Delhi in contrast to New Delhi, and that will mean that the percentage of Muslims in Delhi (which includes Old Delhi) will likely be higher than that of New Delhi. For example, I just checked and the population of Delhi is 1,300,000; however, that of New Delhi is only 300,000. Now, it may be that there aren't any statistics compiled only for New Delhi, in which one may have to fall back on the statistics for Delhi. But before one can do that one has to make sure that there aren't any sources about the demographics of New Delhi. Most likely, there should be some sources, try looking not only on Google, but also on Google Scholar and maybe Google Books. If you find something and need help, I will be happy to look at it.
- As for the paraphrasing, you don't have to remove the text from the website I mentioned in my first post above, you just have to paraphrase it adequately, so that it is not considered a copyright violation. So, for example, the original quote is: "Delhi is a cosmopolitan city due to the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural presence of the vast Indian bureaucracy and political system, and expanding economy. There are more than 160 embassies and an ever-growing expatriate population." You could paraphrase it as: "Many ethnic groups and cultures are represented in Delhi, making it a cosmopolitan city. In addition, since Delhi is a seat of political power, a commercial center, and a diplomatic hub, it brings in many expatriates working in many professions, further enhancing its diverse character." Or, something to that effect. If you need help with paraphrasing, please let me know. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 16:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry
It has been confirmed that you have been creating a lot of sockpuppets and using them abusively on wikipedia. Wikipedia policies only allow sockpuppets if they are not used abusively. Please see WP:SOCK. Do not use sockpuppets to stack votes. This will be the only warning you will get regarding this issue. If you are caught again, you will be blocked. - Aksi_great (talk) 05:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
:) well, it shows conclusively that you used sockpuppets to support your claim. Your sockpuppet huniebunie (talk • contribs) even wrote a huge monologue claiming ignorance of any sockpuppetry!! --Ragib 13:11, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nikkul, I did not intend for the initial autoblock of your socks to hit you. If you are willing to give a *full* apology and promise to only edit from this account, then Netsnipe may choose to lift the blocks. Then again he may not. It's up to you and Netsnipe. Saravask 20:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- If you continue to edit during your block period, as you apparently did using the IP 141.151.32.254 (talk • contribs), your block is liable to be extended or made indefinite. Hope you will not go down that path. Abecedare 01:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Bangalore Bus.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Bangalore Bus.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. —Bkell (talk) 20:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
