[edit] Infrasoft technologies

A tag has been placed on Infrasoft technologies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please also see WP:OWN. Wikipedia articles cannot be reserved for only certain editors. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 08:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Waterfall

  • The page Shahada, Maharashtra says that "Unapdev (25 km from Shāhāda) is a pleasant picnic point in Shāhāda tahsil. It has a permanent hot waterfall, which always flows even in hot summer. It always has water coming from a structure in the shape of a cow's mouth.". Is this "waterfall" a waterfall as described in the page Waterfall, or what is it?

[edit] Your edits to Mumbai and Economy of India

Hi Kuwar, I recently reverted your edits to these pages for the following reasons:

  • An image gallery of Mumbai skyline is undue and unencyclopedic addition to the city article, especially one which is a featured article, i.e., represents the highest standards on wikipedia. Also the addition is against the manual of style guidelines for Indian city pages.
  • The additions to the Economy of India article were unsourced and also inappropriate, since the table in which you were adding/modifying items is the list of the 10 leading companies in India according to the Forbes 2007 list and hence your changes modified correct and sourced data.

A couple of pointers regarding editing in general:

  • Please leave an edit summary with your edits.
  • In case your edits are reverted (especially by an experienced editor and not a vandal), and you disagree with the reversion, it is recommended that you discuss the edit on the article talk page before readding the information (see WP:BRD)

All the above comments aside, I welcome your efforts to improve India related content on wikipedia and hope you'll continue to contribute and collaborate. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any comments/questions. Regards. Abecedare (talk) 06:09, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your query on my talk page: New York and Thane are not very good articles and shouldn't be used as models while editing Mumbai. Rather we should set our standard by the best articles on wikipedia, which are designated featured articles and of which, Mumbai is one (although recently the article has deteriorated especially in terms of having too many images, as is discussed here) Abecedare (talk) 06:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Merging

I want to merge to similar page ie. nandurbar to nandurbar_district

You can find instructions for proposing and execution article merges at WP:MERGE. However in theis particular case, it may be good to have separate articles on the cite Nandurbar and Nandurbar district since they need to include distinct location co-ordinates, maps and demographic and administration information. We can just add disambiguation tags to guide the reader. Good work on expanding the district article, but don't forget to cite the source from where you gathered the data. That is necessary as per wikipedia's verifiability policy. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 11:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi thanks for ur reply, In this perticular case the article Nandurbar and Nandurbar_District are exaclty same. Because I belong to this district only,I know this disctrict better. kindly suggest should I merge it or not?? KuwarOnline (talk) 11:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
According to this page, Nandurbar is the name of a district, a taluka within the district as well as the main city in the district (this is very common situation in India, see Category:Districts of Maharashtra for example). So, although the current content of the district and city article greatly overlaps, the topic of the two pages is distinct and therefore they should be covered on different pages; see Pune district and Pune for (one of many) other instance where we do this.
Also, while adding content to the page we should be careful whether the source we are using refers to the city, taluka or the district since they all share the same name (another reason for citing your sources!). For example, the maps on the two pages seems to mark the location of the city rather than the district; this should be (eventually) corrected and the page should have a district map like the one on the Pune district page. Abecedare (talk) 11:28, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I have added the Nandurbar_district map, kindly suggest any new changes required to this article. Thanks KuwarOnline (talk) 12:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

The map was a good find!
The best way to improve the article is to look at the WP:INDIST page for guidelines on how to organize the district article (WP:INCITIES has similar instructions for city pages). Note that if you have no information for some suggested section (say, Flora and fauna), then you can simply leave that section out. Some other things you can do:
  • Convert the lists into prose, for example along the lines, "nandurbur district has x primary schools with y students and z teachers." and most importantly,
  • Cite your references. I cannot emphasize this enough since without references any content you add is unverifiable and liable to be deleted!
Hope that helps and look forward to seeing further improvements to the two articles. Abecedare (talk) 20:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
