Barn star to you

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	For your many assessment in Tag and Assess 2012 - many thanks and keep up the good show. Ssriram mt (talk) 00:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)ssriram_mt

Thank you for the encouragement... Will continue the work over coming days. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 02:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Comments on Assessment

Please mark importance on the main project and subproject as well, like tamilnadu-importane= or education-importance=. Once again, thanks for the participation. Ssriram mt (talk) 00:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)ssriram_mt

The first iteration is a quicker one using AWB, where I have jumped in and assessed the stub articles whenever they are including any stub template. When it comes to the importance of any subject, it is quite subjective and needs time to review as well. Only people with prior knowledge of the area of interest would know the importance as well. Will continue the work over coming days. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 02:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure. Including articles already not part of India project is greatly appreciated as well - so keep going. Thanks again. Ssriram mt (talk) 03:59, 6 March 2012 (UTC)ssriram_mt

Vasu, Firstly thank you for your prodigious edits. It is very heartening to see editors come forth and participate whole-heartedly. I see that Sriram has already given you a barnstar, so I'll just give you a drink! :)

I'm sure you will prefer some feedback (=breakfast for champions) for you to improve your assessment!

Sorry to be frank. Hope you take my improvement points in the spirit they are meant rather than as criticism which it is not meant to be. AshLin (talk) 04:50, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

You don't have to be sorry. Thank you for the frank feedback. I have thought along those lines too. My approach though has been different. I also see lot of difference between the templates included in the article and the assessments (stub template included, but article already assessed as start / c / B class). I plan to return to focus on some specific area, which I am familiar with, and then contribute in that area with the detail assessment points that you have elucidated. The initial approach that I have undertaken also gives me a list of articles that I will return to, from the list of my own user contributions. It is a matter of slicing and dicing in different ways. Hope you understand. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 05:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for being understanding. I'm sure the problem will now no longer be manifest. Do edit wherever you like. Happy editing! :) AshLin (talk) 07:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

One suggestion while marking the importance of a page. The importance level for a project taskforce may be one level greater than the project itself. For example: Mangalore is high-importance for wikiproject India but top importance for wikiproject mangalore. The case in question where I noticed this flaw was the state-level higher educational institutions lists (see them listed at Template:Education in India). These are clearly atleast mid-importance for wikiproject india and high-importance for wikiproject education in india.

I hope this will help you in future bot assessments. Regards--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 21:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

PS:You might want to look into what caused this edit.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 21:56, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Now that the feedback is over, lets have a beer! Cheers! We drink to your good health and your contributions. Happy editing. AshLin (talk) 04:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

You deserve a barnstar, and you just got one!

		The India Star
		On 3 March 2012, the WikiProject had 94,374 articles. On 08 March 2012 it had 95,942. There is no doubt that this increase of 1568 articles is principally due to your recent editing. For your services to WikiProject India, you are awarded the India Star! AshLin (talk) 16:45, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

You deserve it

	The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar
	For your dedicated work on improving the tagging and assessment of articles under Wikiproject India. Dwaipayan (talk) 17:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely... a cup of coffee for now. At the end, we will celebrate with champagne and beer!--Dwaipayan (talk) 01:46, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism on Doon School alumni page

Your recent quality change on the Talk:Doon School alumni page is considered Vandalism. As the ratings were earlier given by CTCooper who is a Schools Project Admin. Kindly refrain from such counter-productive activities. Thank you! [[User:Merlaysamuel|Merlaysamuel]] (talk) 08:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Learn editing, check your facts, check credentials, before coming up with some lame accusations. Thanks. --VasuVR (talk, contribs) 09:30, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Please read my reply to your post on my talk page. You changed the ratings at your own whim which, I repeat, were given by CTCooper, an admin. You, in a sense, carelessly changed the ratings given by a responsible school admin (who is well aware of how to rate the school pages). What explanation do you have for it? You did not even discuss it with anyone! Good luck!

Merlaysamuel (talk) 09:38, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Does not warrant... oh, never mind... --VasuVR (talk, contribs) 09:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
