Barasinga

Apologies for messing up. I had no idea you wrote the entry and I though you were trying to force an uncommon spelling. Now I know that was not the case. Anyway, could you give an ISBN number, author and publisher for the source you used? - Mgm|^(talk) 12:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Actually someone else beat me to fixing the spelling. To make sure people can find the source you used, it's common to give more identifying information than just its title.

• I would write the reference as Kanha Chronicle as:

M. Acharya, M. Barad, S.Bhalani, P. Bilgi, M.Panchal, V.Shrimali, W. Solanki, D.M. Thumber. Kanha Chronicle, Centre for Environment Education Ahemdabad in collaboration with the United States National Park Service (year).

If you can find a year of printing or publicaton, please mention it. Please add as much relevant information about the source as you can to the article. See Wikipedia:Cite sources. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar from Mgm for your work on Barasinga.

• Thanks! Since you respond so well to my requests regarding Barasinga, I've decided to award you a resilient barnstar. Wikipedia's way of thanking editors for a job well done. This Barnstar given to any editor who learns and improves from criticisms, never lets mistakes or blunders impede their growth as Wikipedians, or has the ability to recover/finish with a smile. For more information about barnstars, see Wikipedia:Barnstars. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:58, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Reference desk etiquette

Hi Siddhant,

It's great to see you're so enthusiastic about knowledge and everything, but please bear in mind that the people answering your questions on the Reference Desks are all unpaid volunteers. As such, it's supposed to be a last resort when you're stumped on a question, not a first resort for information that you could easily find through a Wikipedia search or Google. If you have trouble getting the information you want from Google, you could try tutorials like this one that show ways to home in on the results you want. In particular, your requests for sources, and exact sections of Wikipedia articles, come across as very demanding -- especially the latter, as you should be able to search within the page for relevant terms using your browser. --Bth 08:48, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

How do I add a contents page to my talk page?

and

On my user page I want the license free tag not to be in the tower of babel.

One last question: In the tower of babel, do we only add the info about our language or I can add other things also like I have done? Thank You in Advance.

Hey there. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by your first question. I fixed the user page problem for you. You were missing the closing tag </table>. You can add a dividing line so the licensing boxes goes below the babel box by adding {{-}}. You can add anything you want in the tower as it is your userpage. Just make sure it doesn't violate anything on Wikipedia:Userpage. If there is anything else, let me know. Happy editing! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 10:06, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

What I mean by my first question is that how do I add a list of comments i.e. a contents list at the beginning of my talk page. Like the articles have after the introduction paragraph.

Thank You in Advance.

It comes automatically, when there are more than 3 or 5 headings. Hope this helps, don't forget to sign messages on talk pages, and if you want to create a fancy signature, check out WP:SIG --NigelJ ^talk 10:25, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at WP:TOC for more info than you'll probably ever want to know about the table of contents box. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 10:29, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

How does one become an administrator of Wikipedia?

and

My license free use box is at the top on my user page. I want it at the bottom. How do I do it?

--Siddhant 10:38, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Becoming an admin takes time, start by looking at Wikipedia:Administrators, but honestly, you got a long way to go, as for the GFDL bit i'm not sure, i'll get someone else to reply about that --NigelJ ^talk 10:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hows that? Brian | (Talk) 10:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I moved the license box down. How I did it. Being an administrator isn't all that great. All it allows a person to do is janitorial work such as (un)protecting and (un)deleting pages and blocking vandals. Think of being an administrator as a regular user with just a few more buttons. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 10:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

1. I want to start writing some thing on my user page at the left side. On what part of my source shoul I start writing?

2. Is it okay to delete the help me comments on this talk page after the problem is solved?

3. Where do I get a list of all tags and user tags?

4. Is it allowed to upload photographs to my user and talk page?

Thank You in Advance.

--Siddhant 06:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

1. At the very top should work fine.

2. Yeah, feel free to remove content from your talk page. Although, it is often better to archive rather than remove.

3. The tags are spread all over the place. It is probably just easier to use a search engine. For instance, if you type "site:en.wikipedia.org image tags" into Google, you'll get a link to the page that lists the image tags. Just replace "image" with whatever topic you are looking for and it should do the trick.

Tags (or templates as we call them) can be found in various places, depending on what they are for. WP:TEMP provides links to all of them, though finding specific ones can be tricky. Templates to put on your user page can be found here. If you are looking for something in particular, let me know. Rockpocket (talk) 07:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

4. Yes, for the most part. If the picture is available under a free license, you may use it on your userpage. However, if the image is copyrighted, you may not. You can review Wikipedia:User pages for more info on the user page policy.

--PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:38, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

1. On my user page I want to give different headings to diffrent set of userboxes. But I want them on the right side of the page. The headings will be like: About me, Education, Communication Languages, Technology, Progamming languages, etc. If you do it yourself, please show me how you did it so I don't bother you next time.

Thank You in Advance. --Siddhant 10:01, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello Siddhant, you can manage this by adding THs (Table Headers) to your Tower of Babel, which is an HTML table. As you can see in the source, the caption titled "Tower of Babel" is situated in one of these THs (it is surrounded by <tr><th> and </th></tr>). Simply create one of these where you want your headings to be, and replace the innards of the THs with what you want (Headings in bold perhaps). Hope this helps. — Tangotango 10:08, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

1. How do I find my x edit where x is a number?

Go through your contributions and count. You have less than a 100 so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Alternatively, look here Rockpocket (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

2. How do I put a "This is a wikipedia User page" box at my user page?

{{userpage}}

3. How do I find out on the date on which I became a Wikipedia user?

Look for your first contribution. If you didn't create your account on that day, and it was a while ago, there is no way of knowing.

Your first edit was on 2006/04/26 08:24:15. Rockpocket (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

4. Is there a guideline to write an article on animals?

I'm not aware of anything like that. Look through other articles about animals and follow their format.

5. How do I write subscripts and superscripts?

Use ₂ and ⁵, CSS, or Help:Math if it's mathematics-related

Thank You in Advance. --Siddhant 14:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Replies by Tangotango 16:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

1. There are two articles with the heading meep:

    (a)Meep

and

    (b)Mir Environmental Effects Payload (MEEP) 

Don't you think that a disambiguation page should exist?

2. On my user page, in the list of user boxes, there are edit links which I dont want. Also I want the table of contents box to be in the centre of the table instead to be left aligned. Can something be donr about it?

3. In an article, I want to disply a word but the link from it sould be to something else. Like, I display "here" and link it to an article. What is the syntax, if I am using the right word, to do so?

--Siddhant 06:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

1. I would consider just putting the {{otheruses4}} template at the top of each page linking to the other. Since there are only two articles, a disambiguation page is probably unnecessary.

2. I'll take a look at this and try to answer it in a minute. Ok, I went ahead and was able to set it up for you. You can see what I did here. Basically __NOEDITSECTION__ removes all the section edit buttons from the page. __TOC__ forces the placement of the table of contents to be wherever that line of code is. Adding the div tags like <div align=center>__TOC__</div> forces the content of what is inside to be centered. There are other ways to do this in HTML, but this way is easy enough.

3. Use the following syntax: [[article to be linked to|wording to be used]]. So [[Main page|Wikipedia's homepage]] would display as Wikipedia's homepage.

--PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

1. I want to start writing something on the right side of my user page. At what part of my source shoul I start writing?

2. Can you change the heading of the article "Mir Environmental Effects Payload" to Mir Environmental Effects Payload (MEEP) . Can I do it myself? If so, how?

3. I use Opera version 8.02 as my browser. When editing an article we have an Insert box below the buttons of Save Page, Show preview, etc. Some characters in it don't show up. Instead there are squares. Do I have have to install a font? If yes, then from where and how?

4. In my browser (Opera version 8.02), the shotcut key Alt+S, the one used to save edited text, dosen't seem to work. What should I do?

--Siddhant 08:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

2. The original article name seems better. I personally wouldn't change the name. However, you can click on the move tab at the top of the page to change the article's name. I'll let someone else answer the rest of the questions as I have got to go. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 08:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Help me.

Please answer my questions which are in the above section.

Thank You in Advance.

--Siddhant 12:38, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

3. What you probably need to do is set your default font in Opera to one that has extended characters, for instance the Arial font.

4. Click "save page" button? Or you could just select all the edited text and cut-and-paste it to a text editor.

1. This is a little tricky to accomplish. If you want a two-column format on your user page, you will have to set up a wikipedia table with two columns. See meta:Help:Table for instructions on how to do tables in Wikipedia. Mangojuice^talk 00:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Thank You. More help needed.

I owe you so much for your help in designing my user page. Because of your help it looks cool. I had been doing some changes to it but it turned out badly. If you can help me please checkout my following problems:

1. Can the boxes of "License free use" and "this is a wikipedia user" have round edges?

I don't think so, as they are just tables. Maybe with some CSS code, but that is beyond my ability.

2. If I wnat to start writing some text on the left side, what part of text should I start writing?

Not sure, there is a way to do it with divs or tables, but it has been a long time and I can't remember how to do this.

3. I want a Heading to the userbox table which should be -- "Userboxes".

Done, check the edit history to see how.

4. The toolbox at end. Before license free box with heading "Other Stuff".

I think I was able to do it for you. Check the edit history to see how.

5. How can I add this kind of internal link to my user and talk page: "Leave me a message on my talk page"?

An external link is easier. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Siddhant&action=edit&section=new Leave me a message] would give: Leave me a message

6. Time/date (I agree that I copied it from your user page): Can it be placed below the wikipedia signpost?

I also went ahead and made the changes.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks again.

--Siddhant 05:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I hope that helps. For number 2 you might want to contact someone at Wikipedia:Esperanza as they have held user page contests to see who could create the best looking pages. They may know how. Alternatively you could ask the Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) or reasearch HTML and CSS to do it yourself. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 21:13, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Wrought iron

What you have added is about how wrought iron was made in the 19th and early 20th cnetury. This is already described (though perhaps less well) in another article called puddling furnace. I think it might be better if you transferred what you have written to that article and make the necessary changes to merge them (not forgetting that from c.1850) puddling was laso used for making steel.

I have over the past weeks been trying to improve the articles on ironmaking processes. The problem with what you have done is that it describes how wrought iron was made from c.1800 to c.1960, without even acknowledging that there were earlier processes, which have been described in the articles bloomery and finery forge. Similarly there is an article on faggoting

Are you sure that you description of refining is right. I do not recall references to stirring in descriptions that I have read. I may have produced one on refining; if so, you may well be able to improve it usefully. Peterkingiron 22:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Georges Sagnac new translation now online

Hello there,

This is in response to your request for a translation of the fr:Georges Sagnac article on French Wikipédia. Here's a copy of my revised translation. Keep in mind that the article in the original French is at times ambiguous and lacking in details, so I may have unintentionally misunderstood what was intended by the original author. I hope you find this translation helpful. --Tachikoma 16:15, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

---

Georges Sagnac (1869-1926) was a French physicist who lent his name to the Sagnac effect, a phenomenon which is at the basis of interferometers and laser gyroscopes developed since the 1970s.

Little is known about the life of Georges Sagnac, other than that he was one of the first people in France to study X-rays, following Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen while he was still a lab assistant at the Sorbonne.

Marie Curie says that the Curie couple had traded ideas with Sagnac around the time of the discovery of radioactivity.

He belonged to a group of friends and scientists that notably included Pierre and Marie Curie, Paul Langevin, Jean Perrin, and the mathematician Émile Borel.

In 1913, Georges Sagnac showed that if light is sent in two opposite circular directions on a revolving platform, the speed of the light beam turning in the same direction as the platform will be greater than the speed of the light beam that is turning opposite the direction of the table.

The results of this experiment seemed to contradict the then-new theory of relativity.

According to David Pratt's Worlds within the Word site), Georges Sagnac was an ardent opponent of the theory of relativity.

Indian timber trees

Hello Siddhant. I moved your list of Indian timber trees from Timber to a new article - List of Indian timber trees - because it seemed too specific regarding a relatively minor area, to be used in a general article such as Timber. SCHZMO ✍ 12:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Math template

I noticed you added {{maths rating}} to an article talk page. When you do that, please fill in the quality, importance, and field parameters. It is not necessary to tag an article just to indicate it is math; the list of mathematics articles is maintained automatically without any need for talk page tags. The only purpose of the maths rating template is to assign quality ratings to articles. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent "formatting" work

Siddhant, I noticed that you have recently added and deleted spaces and "line feeds" to numerous articles. While your intent was noble I'm sure, this work is not necessary, since the wiki-interpretation software does the final formatting of the article and will in nearly all cases remove or add line feeds and spaces as appropriate. In fact, your work is counter-productive since it adds one more edit to the history and requires more storage space on the Wikipedia servers. FYI, Madman (talk) 23:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

AWB trick

Hi. I noticed this edit that you did with AWB. Do you have some special rule that allows you to find and fix consecutive links. I've been trying to find a way to do that but haven't had any luck yet. Thanks. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 11:42, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, No. I did it manually, but AWB shows you "multiple links on a page" in the Start tab (Alerts section), which automatically searches the document for multiple links and generates a list. On repeated clicking, it jumps me onto the link one by one on. This a lot of help on its part. Then I check whether they are consecutive links or not. However, if in future you do find such a code please let me know.

Should we request the AWB developers for such a fix?

I was delighted that someone is watching my edits closely. --Siddhant (talk) 14:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I haven't had much luck getting any support for AWB. And in this case the fix would only be useful to a small group of editors. I'm just hoping that someone with some programming experience can suggest some way to do it via rule. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 15:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Raj

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Raj. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raj. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

A Request for Help

Hi there Siddhant :), I noticed your username on Translators Available Hindi to English. I was wondering if you could help with updating Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the Hindi Wikipedia? Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the English Wikipedia has been majorly revamped- particularly, its being treated as a BLP now, since no ones been able to find evidence of his death.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

MOTDs (This space for rent)

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 13:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Hindi?

hello, i am aGastya and i want to know if references on Hindi Wikipedia are necessarily in Hindi or any other language is favourable?
aGastya  ✉ let’s talk about it  :) 12:46, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Of course the source material can be in any language, it is not necessary that the source itself be in Hindi. However, when that source is referenced in an article, the details of the source should be in Hindi i.e. the name of the author ought to be transliterated to Hindi, the title of the source should be translated to Hindi. For examples of such conventions, take a look at references in say today's featured article on Hindi Wikipedia hi:नालापत बालमणि अम्मा. Does this answer your question? Do let me know if you still have any questions or if something is still not clear. Oh, and best of luck with your XII Board exmas! --Siddhant (talk) 16:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay! Understood! thank you for answering me! It clarifies all the doubt.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Number9dream, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert MacFarlane. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
