I noticed that you left a message in the talk page of Kannada that you couldn't find the link to the Kannada Wikipedia. Here's the link: kn.wikipedia.org

Speedy deletion nomination of Renaissance 2011 BITS Pilani edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Renaissance 2011 BITS Pilani, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. BurtAlert (talk) 04:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Even after putting the hold on template and putting in a line in Talk section to explain the matter as advised, the page was deleted in less than five minutes. I now have no way of getting it back. Why am I getting the feeling that wikipedia is getting taken over by destructive people? Nikhilsheth (talk) 17:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Wanted: permalink extractor edit

does anybody know how to extract the permalink of the latest revision of a wikipedia article?

Request for a tool to any developer out there: Please create a tool that if I enter a list of titles (all of which are wikipedia articles) - separated by comma or line whatever you wish, it returns a list of permalinks of all the articles!

Example: If input is: Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam

Then the output should be:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andhra_Pradesh&oldid=421762178, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arunachal_Pradesh&oldid=421047209, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assam&oldid=421372952

Or maybe just:

Andhra Pradesh 421762178, Arunachal Pradesh 421047209, Assam 421372952

Or something of the sort! We need this for article selection for offline wikipedia for schools project! Thanks in advance! Nikhilsheth (talk) 12:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Renaissance India edit

 

The article Renaissance India has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:N

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
