[edit] Take heart
Hi Kris, I feel really sad that you have to endure what you're going through. Please take heart. Wikipedia is a community of million plus human beings and there are bound to be 'nuts' roaming around. I dont know which 'nut' you may have bumped into, causing you so much distress, but I also keep bumping into such people on wikipedia. Any time we come across such people, far from losing heart, we should resolve to weed out such people and protect the fair name and purpose of wikipedia. Letting such people get under your skin will only be playing straight into their hands. I request you to make a conscious effort not to let such 'nuts' bother you and to return with renewed vigor and purpose. Wikipedia sorely needs and deserves more editors like you and less of the nuts. Sarvagnya 20:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- I hope you come back, it was nice working with you on WP:HINDU. The point is to build a hammer and crack the nuts.Bakaman 04:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you
Thank you for the welcome. I joined the sub-group Wikiproject Indian History and I hope to be of service with my limited knowledge. Kris, you're an admin and an Indian (I'm pretty sure on both, at least). Is there a chance you can look at this[[1]] and put it on your watchlist? I feel like things are starting to degenerate, particularly the "Buddies of Satan" comment, and the "incompetent" comment. I would appreciate it. Sincerely, NinaEliza (talk • contribs • logs) 16:30, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Srkris
I read over the article and the improvement in tone and copy are vast compared to the version I came to. Tigeroo's suggestion on the talk page is a good one. I'm glad I left - I obviously wasn't helping:).Nina Odell 17:15, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

As you may be informed that i did very good provided information on the article Khandoba. It is very important to western world that our local hindu god's information from direct the local and devotee people should be reached in good manner. So that the missunderstanding will be reduced and better well informed will be created. Now you have asked that you couldent find relevent page about Veer Mhaskoba. It is not unusual that nothing information about Veer Mhaskoba is on the net , because very few people outside Maharashtra and world knows about this gods . But this god Veer Mhaskoba is clan deity of many peoples in Maharashtra and specialy the caste Dhangar have important space for this god. I have a complete information on this god Veer Mhaskoba , pictures , VCD , and i have personaly visited this place . So i have stong request that you should creat a page , article for Veer Mhaskoba because thaousands and lakhs pepole gathered at this place for piligramage.

I don't know about the links being added by the anon but removing the indic font on the chola king was vandalism.I basically reverted the edit. I don't think there's enough to make an admin do something about it.--D-Boy 14:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

- Project tagging:After a brief edit war over the addition of {{WP India}} to ancient archaeological sites now located in Pakistan, a "pre" parameter was introduced to remove the ROI flag from the template for pre-1947 articles, following discussion. After another large discussion on ANI alleging that the automated tagging by Ganeshbot and LostBot was "nationalistic", Ganeshbot was briefly blocked. Currently, the bots are again in action.
- Swastika on Hinduism templates:Recently, an extremely large and at times emotional debate broke out regarding the use of the swastika on Hinduism templates, given its association with Nazism. As a result, {{Hindu Links}} now contains an educational message about the use of the swastika, as discussion on a more permanent resolution continues.

- Jimbo's visit to India and the WikiCamp in Chennai: Jimbo recently visited India in late February and early March on wiki work. This included a trip to a WikiCamp in Chennai. The one day conference attracted 300 participants from across India and beyond dealt with issues facing wikis ([3]). It was widely covered by the press, eg The Hindu( [4]), which cited the efforts of Bhadani (edit count), Sundar (leadership on Tamil Wikipedia) and Ganeshk (Creation of Ganeshbot to create articles on Indian towns from census figures). Ganeshk himself travelled from California to attend the conference.
- Wikipedia Weekly 15: Wikipedia Weekly, a informal Wikipedians' program that purports to give "A weekly audio roundup of Wikipedia happenings with news, interviews and roundtable discussions" recently interviewed two prominent editors Rama's Arrow and Ragib(listen). The entire 34 minute interview was entirely about the world of Indian subcontinent wiki-happenings, and was the first episode which was not entirely dominated by discussion of wiki-politics and wiki-bureaucracy, with the host Witty lama praising the efficiency of the project and its proliferation of featured content. Rama's Arrow cited the team spirit, friendship and respect among project members in discussing its success and FA productivity, as well as discussing subcontinental wiki-conflict. Ragib talked also of his public campaign to raise awareness of the Bengali Wikipedia in his native Bangladesh, which has seen a 30-fold increase in article count over the past year.
- Arbitration: Three cases are either in progress or have recently ended.
- Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan regarding the activities of various Indian and Pakistani editors on pages related to Indian subcontinent history topics, the national status of various pre-Partition figures, and edit-warring over Indic scripts and WikiProject tags was held and concluded in late February- early March. As a result of this, four Pakistani users, Siddiqui, Szhaider, Nadirali and Unre4L were all banned for one year for disruption via edit-warring and confrontationalism.
- Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba 2 regarding a dispute over the article of the religious teacher closed in early March with four users indefinitely banned from the article.
- Currently, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies is in the evidence phase. It is concerned with the editing of Freedom_skies, who edits articles on ancient Indian history, primarily civilisation articles such as Indian mathematics and related articles, as well as Buddhism articles such as Pusyamitra Sunga, as well as those pertaining to the propagation of Mahayana Buddhism to China such as Bodhidharma and Zen.

Note from Editor's Desk

- Welcome to the March 2007 edition of our newsletter.
- Congratulations to one of our most respected writers, bureaucrats and administrators, Nichalp, who is now entrusted with the oversight permission. In addition Riana has joined the administrative ranks after a successful RfA.
- On a sad note, Nobleeagle, who was responsible for the creation of the Punjab WikiProject, and was largely responsible for Indian cricket team, Bhagat Singh and Lage Raho Munna Bhai becoming GAs, as well as working heavily in Indian religious and cricket work, has left the project after having his identity revealed.
- More generally, certain Indian users have recently been subject to real life harassment by banned users, etc. If this is affecting you in real life, please do not hesitate to contact Wikimedia board members for assistance, or ask a senior Wikipedian to solicit help on your behalf if required.
- Nishkid64, a prolific contributor and administrator, is currently undergoing surgery to fix a congenital heart defect. You can wish him well here.
- Weekly Collaboration (Shortcut:WP:INCOTW): Collaboration of the Week has fallen from its once high feats. Please drop by and help rejuvenate it.
