Wikipedia Asian Month is COMING!

Hi Nvvchar ,

The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:

1. Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
2. Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
3. The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
4. There is a template that you can use on your user page. {{Template:User Asian Month‎}}

Enjoy the Wikipedia Asian Month :) --AddisWang (talk)

Devi Upanishad

@Nvvchar: Per your request, I reviewed and added some text to Devi Upanishad. It looks to be in good shape, for a DYK. ALT1: "...that Devi (goddess) is the fountainhead of all mantras." ALT2: "....that Devi (goddess) is Shakti and essentially Brahman (ultimate reality)", or any other. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:01, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

5 Million: We celebrate your contribution

	We couldn't have done it without you
	Well, maybe. Eventually. But the encyclopedia would not be as good. Celebrate. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:08, 3 November 2015 (UTC)}}

Thank you

Thank you very much Doug Coldwell. Very touching comments from a friend.--Nvvchar. 11:14, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Especially if you notch up just how many articles you've created/expanded on non anglo centric topics Mr. Char, you're a very important editor here. I don't know how you stay so enthusiastic with wikipedia, I find I have to regularly take breaks from here nowadays otherwise I don't think I could continue to edit here and remain passionate about it! You do seem to avoid most of the drama though, that does help ;-) I'm still up for the odd A-Z article but I've reduced what I do and try now to keep focused on one core article mainly. Did you read the Frank Sinatra article? That's a personal record for number of sources used! 160,000 hits a month!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:27, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Masroor Rock Cut Temple DYK

Nvvchar, this nomination was just promoted to prep, but not only is the hook fact not inline cited by the end of the sentence in which it appears, but the quoted word, "incognito", is not similarly cited, and should have been even without it being a hook fact.

Please add the appropriate inline source citation at the end of that first Legends section sentence right away, and everything will be fine. If you don't do so, I'll have to pull back the hook until that's taken care of, but I thought it would be simpler if I just asked. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks, BlueMoonset. I have fixed the reference as suggested. Nvvchar. 15:08, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

• Nvvchar, thank you for taking care of it so quickly. I think that the ref at the end of the sentence would have been sufficient (since they're both the same), but if you want to include it there and after the quoted word, that's fine, too. Apologies if I wasn't clear on what I thought was needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:17, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!

Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).

If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:

• Adding the new scheduled article to Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement and removing the entry from Wikipedia:Articles for improvement
• Set up the schedule pages for the new TAFI, except the adding of an image and caption
• Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
• Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
• Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection

Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.

We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
