Notability edit

Heya, citing a band's own website does not in any way show notability. Please very carefully read WP:N before removing the cleanup tag. It needs to cite RELIABLE SECONDARY sources. This means nothing connected to the band, fan websites, forums, etc... - superβεεcat  22:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Great job providing sources and satisfying notability. Looks great! - superβεεcat  22:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply


Hello, you were very polite to superbeecat, but it seems to me that he/she is too enthusiastic about deleting articles as they are being started. I would be interested to know if very many article writers are feeling harassed, rather than helped by this approach Cuvtixo 19:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I am myself a moderator of many forums & i can relate to her way of approach. As long as we have the conviction that the work being done is genuine, i dont think it matters about anyone's over enthusiasm. I dont have any problems with her/him. Please try to avoid politics on Wikipedia & avoid vandalism as well(your poem at superbeecat's page). Thx :) --Doc sameer 19:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: Merging edit

If you feel strongly that it should stay and be expanded, then I can respect that. It's actually good that you do, because as it is I had completely forgotten the whole issue. My main request would be that information relevant to how all Muslims view it be added, as the nafs is important to a number of Islamic movements in addition to many Sufis. Let me know what you think, and don't ever feel shy to poke your nose in, as we're all here to improve the articles. MezzoMezzo 00:35, 2 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have to admit, I am a bit pensive about that. While I think it would be a great idea and in an ideal world would love to help you and other editors with that, I also know that my endorsement will bring certain expectations upon me as far as getting motivated and doing work goes. You have my tacit support for the time being, though. MezzoMezzo 04:36, 12 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Leprosy sections edit

You are entirely correct that WP:MEDMOS#Sections calls for Causes/Genetics sections to appear early in an article. "Genetics" in this usage, however, is usually regarding human genetic factors that influence a disease state or progression. For example, in the leprosy article if we had a significant section on the genetic changes that lead to increased susceptibility to M. leprae, that section would go exactly where you indicated. In this particular case, however, the genetics of M. leprae actually belong in the Mycobacterium leprae article, not the leprosy one and I've moved the section there. Note that the above is my opinion - if you have a different viewpoint that I have missed, please leave me a note here so we can discuss it. Thank much. -- MarcoTolo 01:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:WaliDakkhani.jpg edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:WaliDakkhani.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 22:52, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Template:Hyderabad, India edit

A tag has been placed on Template:Hyderabad, India requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Notability of Rox3n edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Rox3n, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Rox3n seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Rox3n, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 13:32, 28 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please be aware that bands which are "up and coming" or "the next big thing" are often not notable enough for their own articles. Mere passing mention in a newspaper does not constitute notability as we define it. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rox3n Logo.png) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Rox3n Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. NotifyBot (talk) 12:25, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello edit

Hey! :-)

My name is Noopur. I edit English Wikipedia and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation. I will be visiting Hyderabad soon and was pleasantly surprised to see that there are more than 20 active editors in Hyderabad! I thought it would be really nice to get together and meet you once. I was hoping to discuss some issues on WP:India and to know what topics you edit on. Also, have you met other Wikipedians before? It would be a great inspiration to meet a long term Wikipedian :-)

Please do reply on my talk page or you can e-mail me at nraval@wikimedia.org Cheers Noopur28 (talk) 08:14, 29 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:53, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Invite for discussion on Sector 13, Chandigarh edit

There is a discussion on the talk page section of Sector 13.

 Disclaimer: This is just an invite for you to participate. I neither encourage you to vote against the topic nor in the favor of the topic. This is just a neutral message for participation and It is totally your decision.

Following is the brief of the topic :- Manimajra was renamed as sector 13 legally by UT government of Chandigarh in January 2020 . Below are links to the decision:- 1). https://m.timesofindia.com/city/chandigarh/manimajra-to-be-renamed-sector-13-residents-elated/amp_articleshow/73114749.cms .

2). https://www.hindustantimes.com/chandigarh/chandigarh-s-manimajra-is-now-sector-13/story-ploFPCA4UGpDu9ksUxLtdL.html


It is true that the proposal had been initially opposed in december 2019. In the initial proposal, names like Sector M or Sector 26 east were proposed. Here is the link for initial proposals made :-

4)https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-chandigarh-to-finally-get-sector-13-after-54-years-of-formation-2813378 (these articles were published in newspapers in 2019 which is old).

5)https://m.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/chandigarh/mani-majra-to-be-sector-m-863728

 This link i provided over here was published in Tribune India in November 2019  

But soon the final decision was made which overruled the previous proposals and finally the new name for manimajra was concluded as sector 13 by the beginning of 2020. The next link (6th Link) was also published in Tribune India with the final decision which was declared in February 2020 :-
