Thank you very much Shamal. --Nilheda 09:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

You probably meant to reply in the earlier section. You can indent your replies using colons at the start of the line. The previous comments are by a different user. Also you may like to interact with and join the Fishes wikiproject. Some of the article title you have used as well as the style of writing may need to be changed to keep the encyclopaedic tone. You can see more on this here at WP:MOS. Let me know if you need any more help on this. Keep up the good work. Shyamal 10:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nilheda,
I'm glad you found my comments useful. Don't hesitate to contact me (or of course any of the other friendly Wikipedia folks, like Shyamal) if you have any questions. For someone who is new to editing Wikipedia, you're doing very well. It's important that people who have specialist knowledge contribute to Wikipedia, and you appear to be a specialist in a number of areas. It's also important that we make the Wikipedia project as a whole an international one, so those of us who speak more than one language are crucial to communication between the different Wikipedia projects. --Slashme 10:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fish Experts of Maharashtra

A tag has been placed on Fish Experts of Maharashtra, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Julius Sahara 15:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Natural lentic water bodies

A tag has been placed on Natural lentic water bodies, 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. Julius Sahara 15:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Avoiding deletion during creation

One approach is to create articles in your user space such as /Natural lentic water bodies and move them to the main space once you are comfortable that the article conforms to the requirements of wikipedia by way of style and content verifiability. Shyamal 15:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How to improve your article on the freshwater ecology of Maharashtra

Hi Nilheda,

The style of this article still needs some work to match the rest of Wikipedia.

Here is some (hopefully constructive) criticism to help you get there:

In your opening section, you say:

The state of Maharashtra in India has several river major river systems including those of the Narmada, Tapti, Godavari and Krishna rivers. The ecology of these rivers and associated wetlands is covered in this article.
Introduction: Ecology is the science of interrelationship. Various components of the ecosystem interact together and thus maintain the proper ecosystem functioning. To create the holistic picture of the any given area one should have to consider various components of the ecosystem. These components could be Habitats (Land and Waterscapes), Species, people/institutions, people’s various practices, their various aspirations and issues ecological history etc. Here an attempt has been made to create a rather holistic picture of the fresh water ecological scenario of Maharashtra state. Maharashtra is well known for its varied biodiversity, habitat diversity, people and culture etc. In this page we are trying to put all available information regarding fresh water ecology of the Maharashtra region. The political boundary of Maharashtra is chosen only to facilitate the systematic data compilation. More Specifically in terms of river basins Narmada, Tapti, Godavari and Krishna basin is the premise of the information. Following components are selected for the compilation of the whole data.

You should not have to say "X is covered in this article". This is good and necessary in academic papers, where you explicitly define the scope of the article in the abstract, but is not standard in encyclopedia articles.

You also do not have to say "Introduction" before you introduce the topic. It is assumed that your opening section is the introduction.

Look out for "etc.", as it leaves the reader wondering "and what else?".

I like the new pictures that you have added. They are good illustrations of the topic.

You have a number of sections that are very necessary in a thesis, but should not be in the article. The "Chemistry of fishes" section is a good example. In any case, I suggest that you remove all the empty sections until such time as you are ready to add text to them.

I have commented out some text in the "list of freshwater fishes" section, please see what I wrote there.

I see your "fish experts of Maharashtra" article has been removed. If you need help getting it into a state where it can go back, please ask me.

Remember to change any wikilinked section headings into normal text, and to add the "main" tag to redirect the user to a main article on the topic. You will see that I have already done that in a few places.

Take a look at the Climate of India article. It's a featured article, and should give you some good pointers on style and formatting.

Lastly, let me just thank you for your contributions so far. I think you're adding significant value to the project, and I hope I'm not bombarding you with too much criticism, advice and information too fast.

Best regards, --Slashme 06:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Slashme, Thanks a lot for this detailed guidance. As this is my starting I trying my best to learn the WIKI culture. I will definitely improve the content.

OK, I'm glad to see that you're back! Let me know if you have any questions. --Slashme (talk) 12:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
