== Indian Railways ==

To start with: I ''like'' the condescending way you posted this sentence: ''expected more informed people like you to take it up instead of bringing it down''. I certainly had reasons to remove as the article is a [[WP:FA|featured article]], or one of the best on wikipedia. Reasons why I had removed content:
# When adding content, [[WP:CITE|cite credible sources]]. Without a source, certain content can be deleted as 'unsourced'.
# As for the coaches: The article is about the company; to add stuff on coaches etc, it should be correctly placed in/linked in [[Rail transport in India]]. 
# Unfilled sections like 'Modernization' and few subsections like 'Passenger safety', 'Station cleanliness', 'Coach cleanliness'. -- Having blank subsections reflects poorly on the structure of the article: If content is needed, place a request on the article's talk page.
#* Also isn't it's a bit unfair on your part to place empty sections on a page and expect others fill in content? As a railfan you're more than welcome to add content from credible sources and do your bit to improve the coverage of railways in India.
# ''info calculation rules of FINE imposition (why not as this is faced by several railway passengers).'' -- isn't this a bit subjective?
# Lastly, as you rightly put it our purpose is to inform readers. However, this is not a complaint forum against the Indian Railways for them to see their pitfalls. Report things ''as is'' keeping in mind the [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]].

== Regarding "alleged" Vandalism by 152.12.4.15 on 'Binaca Geetmala' releated pages. ==

Mr Chauhan

Here is the bottom line - I was the person that started these webpages; however the person who had supplied me with some of the lists had requested me to take them off this website temporarily till Oct/Nov of this year. So I had tried to delete the contents but they were later put up again by Samir among others, I sent a message to Samir requesting him to take down those pages at least till October - however I have had no reply or positive feedback. I would like to request you to do the same i.e take down the lists till Oct/Nov. Also I have every Binaca geetmala annual list from 1954 till 1993. If you guys do choose to keep these pages up denying my request, I will make sure that neither I nor the other people that have access to these lists will ever put up anything in these pages. However if you do hide these lists temporarily, then we will put up all the lists after November. The choice is yours - do you wish a wonderful web resource to be created or do you choose to ignore our request and have these incomplete lists be all the resources that is put up.


Cheers [[User:152.12.4.15|152.12.4.15]] 16:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

==Reply to your reply==
In response to your question, the person who supplied us with at least some of the lists is writing a book which will be published in Oct/Nov: we dont want his book sales to be hurt.

== Re:Your 'rm parent cat, category diffusion' changes ==

I am afraid you've got the idea of [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categorization on Wikipedia]] wrong. From [[Wikipedia:Categorization]]: "Categories help users find information, even if they don't know that it exists or what it's called." 

"If one knows only the name of university/college", the search box is there to help. Categorization is for organizing the information.

Please see the guidelines on [[Wikipedia:Categorization#Some_general_guidelines]]: "Articles should not usually be in both a category and its subcategory". Also, cycles should be avoided (on same page).

As about breaking the category 'University and colleges' in India, you can put forward the proposal at [[Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics]]. [[User:Utcursch|utcursch]] | [[User talk:Utcursch|talk]] 14:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

== cateogry ==

Please don't revert the removal of the category. It was discussed on [[Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 20]] and such category has been disbanded. When you readd it you recreate it, going against stablished consensus, if you persist going against agreed decisions, you may find yousrelf subject to sanctions. -- <small> [[User talk:Drini|Drini]]</small> 17:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
: You may need to read your own ('wisdom') page more carefully. If you see the pervious checkin by me, the page was not showing the (deleted) category in question, in fact your checkin messed up (visually) my user page and I am not sure whether you feel sorry about it or not. Vjdchauhan 05:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
:: I must apologize then. The thing is that political-type categories  are usaually reverted and fought by users going against the consensus. I'm sorry then.  -- <small> [[User talk:Drini|Drini]]</small> 21:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
::: My response was quite rude, sorry for that. Regards, Vjdchauhan 04:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC).

== [[IMS-BHU]] ==

The article didn't (and still doesn't) say that the Institute has its own hospital. Maybe you can expand the article by adding that info in.

Second, I don't think you're supposed to remove the merge tag before at least one day is up. You're probably the only person who's seen the proposal and removing the tag early does not give others a chance to comment. But since I have no problems with ''not'' merging the article, never mind. ;-) [[User:Kavadi carrier|Kavadi carrier]] 10:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I think the article should be called "Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University" since that is its official name. [[User:Kavadi carrier|Kavadi carrier]] 10:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

: I am not an IMS-BHU passout so would not be able to contribute there. I agree that the page should be renamed. Lastly sorry for reverting merge tag without waiting for at least a day. With due regards, Vjdchauhan 04:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC).

== Wikimapia ==

Hello! Look at http://wikimapia.org/#y=8495988&x=76930561&z=18&l=0&m=a&v=2&show=/503821/, there are two marks Pettah railway Overbridge, you will see one place is marked for deletion. <b>It will be deleted in 12 hours. You may ''cancel deletion''.</b>
Click ''Cancel deletion'' and use delete request in menu! You will see again this sign. Will this work, I mean the deletion? Because I think you pressed the bottom one (it's for normal users). [[User:Alexandre Koriakine|Alexandre Koriakine]] 11:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
: I just tried deleting some heavily oversized boxes using ('UserBox->Menu->Deletion Request') menu at [http://wikimapia.org/#y=27871859&x=78070564&z=13&l=0&m=a&v=2 Aligarh at Wikimapia] and got pop up ''sure you wand to delete'' with ''OK''/''Cancel'' option and on clicking ''OK'' threw another popup saying ''The place is marked for deletion and will be deleted soon'' with ''OK'' button. Reopening the box says ''This place is marked for deletion. It will be deleted in 12 hours. You may cancel deletion.'', '''wonderful'''. I think you just now raised my privilege level further (earlier it was raised to 2 votes level) and am also seeing a bit changed main popup box where now I cannot see ''Report Problem''->''Delete Request'' menu option at bottom-right of the box (this was the menu using which I deleted some boxes which didn't work always). <br/> Thanks a lot for further enhancing the privilege (on seeing power of this privilege level I think we need 12 hours or some other appropriate gap to revert deletion by mistake). <br> May be you would like to correct the spelling mistake in ''sure you wand to delete'' to ''sure you want to delete''. Regards, Vjdchauhan 12:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC).
::Yes, We are making more and more futures. What about temples: http://wikimapia.org/112312/ and near on the left is also an Ganesha temple. Are they real temples or they are homes? [[User:Alexandre Koriakine|Alexandre Koriakine]] 14:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

== Platform independent C++ counterpart for ''ActiveX Data Objects'' and 'VARIANT' ==

In general, you should probably read up on [[Standard Template Library|STL]], and have a good look at [[Boost C++ Libraries|Boost]]. Now to the specifics. One of the best C++ 'variant' implementations is probably [http://boost.org/doc/html/any.html boost::any]. To get "record-like" functionality, you can simply use <code>std::map&lt;std::string, boost::any&gt;</code>. A container of those - std::vector, std::list or std::deque, depending on your needs, would be analogous to a detached recordset. What more, [http://boost.org/libs/multi_index/doc/index.html boost::multi_indexed_container] allows for an arbitrary number of custom indices on in-memory data for fast lookup.

To be honest, I’m not that sure about it myself  (sorry to revert you so bluntly there). Major problem could be that when only vaguely related links are included in the see also section (that are not in the nav box), people tend to think that’s all there is. It’s mostly unclear that the nav box contains the “primary” see also links. --[[User:Van helsing|Van helsing]] 13:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to explain why I had created [[Mahrajganj, Mahrajganj]]. When two towns in the same state (UP) have the same name, the convention is to disambiguate them at the district level.

==Chandrashekhar Azad's Birth place==


The fact is that Chandra Shekhar 'Azad' was born in Bhaawra Tehsil of Jhabua district in Madhya Pradesh, not in Badarka village of Unnao in Uttar Pradesh. His father moved from Badarka to Bhaawra before Chandra Shekhar's birth. So the birth place needs to be corrected.-Amod Bhagwat 20:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Amod Bhagwat[[User:Ab_18|Ab_18]].

Chandrashekhar Azad's father Pandit Sitaram Tewari was from Badarka, Unnao District in Uttar Pradesh, but Chandrashekhar Azad was born in Bhawra, Jhabua District of Madhya Pradesh. His mother, Jagrani Devi had spent her last years in Jhansi with Sadashiv Rao Malkapurkar, who was a very important man in Chandrashekhar Azad's group. After Chandrashekhar Azad's death, Sadashiv Rao Malkapurkar had been in contact with Jagrani Devi and she had told the fact that Chandrashekhar Azad was born in Bhawra, Jhabua, NOT in Badarka, Unnao. 1 June 2007.

If data is not there then 2-3 line/single para page is enough, also ensure to add some relevant category to the page else it will get lost in this huge encyclopedia. <br>Amod you should start using 4 tildes for any posts on talk pages i.e. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, which will automatically add your user name and time to your posts. <br> Also usages of <nowiki>:</nowiki> will put once comments right indented.
:Thanks for your tips! Now the work seems to be easier using these tips.

== Re:What is the source of city info added by Ganeshbot ==

I got the data from the Census 2001 website. They have removed that page now. I have stored the data on [[User:Ganeshbot/Census2001|this page]]. It does not have tehsil/taluk information. There is a [[User:Sumibot|bot]] that added tehsil/village information for Andhra Pradesh using [http://www.censusindia.net/results/Tahsil_Codes.xls this excel sheet]. [[User:Sumanthk|Sumanthk]] can help you with questions related to that bot.

Hello,

Thank you for your kind words. In fact I have also noticed your very important contributions. I think as proud UPites we must continue our efforts on Wikipedia.

I need your help in getting myself included in the category : Wikipedians from Uttar Pradesh.

:Added Indian Wikipedians, Uttar Pradesh Wikipedians and Lucknow Wikipedians user categories to your page, have a look. Pls start signing your posts on talk page using 4 tildes i.e. <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, which in turn will put down your user name and time to the posts. Also have you ever used '''What links here''' link there below '''Search''' button, its an important function using which I have organized pages related to Lucknow in one category.

नमस्कार,

I saw your post last year on [[User talk:Archerblack|Archerblack's talk page]]. You'll be happy to know that I'm doing this at the moment. I am creating the lab pages for the individual lab pages. I'd love your help and any suggestions in this regard. I have created a sandbox page for the labs at [[User:Sniperz11/Sandbox 3]] where I've created infoboxes for the individual DRDO labs. 

I've also created general format for the lab pages. I've also created a template for the labs at [[Template:DRDO Laboratories]]. The template links to the individual lab pages, or at least to those pages that exist. I request you to help out in creating more pages... the more the merrier. Thanks.

धन्यवाद। आपसे मिलकर बहुत खुशी हुई।

hey, I just came across your profile from one of the many page of wikipedia. I find that you are from Etawah, and I hail from Agra. It is quiet a pleasure to meet a fellow from UP, because there are hardly any active on wiki and that too at such a frequent level. I have been on wikipedia for quiet a while but started regular editing only frequently. Would be nice to work up with you. Am currently working on [[User:Tarun2k/Sandbox/law_commission| Law Commission of India]]. Let me know if you could give me some hints on the design of the page as I plan to start this page soon enough once I am done filling the content.

* '''[[WP:IN1-T&A08|Tag & Assess 2008]]''', an assessment drive initiated by the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment|assessment department]] began on [[June 7]], [[2008]] and will be running until July 2008. Many Wikipedians have started contributing to this mammoth task. This housekeeping activity will help manage articles in better way. You can also '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment/Tag_%26_Assess_2008#.28A.29_Participants|get involved]]'''!
*'''[[Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics/Archive_34#Bot_Assisted_Assessment|Bot Assisted Assessment]]''' was successfully done using [[User:Bot0612|Bot0612]] in May 2008. 1744 articles (18.5%) of all India unassessed articles were marked if they had been assessed by some other project.
*'''What's Featured and Good?'''
:*Five new articles were promoted to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] status in 2008: [[Western Chalukya architecture]], [[2007 Samjhauta Express bombings]], [[Akhtar Hameed Khan]], [[Preity Zinta]], [[Kannada literature in the Vijayanagara Empire]].
:*Two new lists were given featured list status in 2008: [[List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar]], [[List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality]].
:*There is currently [[2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra|one Indian article]] as a [[WP:FAC|featured article]] [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra|nominee]]. Two more articles, ([[Bengali language]], [[Kazi Nazrul Islam]]) are undergoing [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|featured article reviews]]. You could help save these two articles by leaving your comments or assisting the involved editors.
:*Three articles are undergoing [[WP:GAN|good article nominations]]: [[Anekantavada]], [[A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada]] and [[Santosh Subramaniam]]. 
*'''[[2008 Indian Premier League|IPL was hot]]''' on Wikipedia too!!! During the tournament, the article was among the [[Wikipedia:Most_frequently_edited_articles|most frequently edited articles]]. It is currently the only Indian article in top 100, occupying 58th spot.
*Do you know of an article that is currently underrated? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment#Requesting_an_assessment|request for assessment]]'''. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.

I felt that the Top is too new a product to evaluate as "similar". The iMac, for example,  does not have a touch screen.

== GovernIndia ==

Hi Vijay,

I got your email in response to our post on Shyam's talk page. Thanks for the link to the top Indian wikipedians. We can actually do with all the help we can get, including creating a coherent mandate for GovernIndia. Initially, we had thought that we'd create a sort of subgroup at wikipedia itself. However, Wikipedia told us, rightly, that our aims were not really in line with Wikipedia's and therefore we should build a separate wiki. We are currently hosted at [www.governindia.org/wiki governindia.org]. I also manage a small blog with headline updates of what I consider important national news - but its only as much as a single working person can manage.

We would like to invite you to get involved. As I mentioned on Shyam's page, we're a small group of people and we're not even an NGO as such. Just something that we though we should do. In terms of wikipedia-ness, we're looking for someone who can build the right sort of templates for webpages about politicians, etc. I went through the box-template at wikipedia but it was pretty complicated - perhaps because of an attempt to make it generic. We also need people to help us figure out how to organise the different kind of information we want on the wiki, etc. The works.

I have replied to your email from my personal address. Please do check and respond with your thoughts.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Governindia|Governindia]] ([[User talk:Governindia|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Governindia|contribs]]) 09:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

| style="color: #000;" | The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach/Newsletter/June 2008|last newsletter]] was written a year ago. In June 2008, [[2008 Indian Premier League|Indian Premier League]] was "hot" on Wikipedia, but the article about this year's [[2009 Indian Premier League|IPL]] has attracted 477 editors, or 53% more than the previous year!  Even the number of articles [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/India articles by quality statistics|in the scope of our project]] jumped by a whopping 18,500+ articles in an year. The 3.2-year-old [[Portal:India/Quiz|India quiz]] continues to attract old and new Wikipedians, so join in the&nbsp;fun!

Wikipedians are organizing a [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/Bangalore3|meetup in Bangalore]] on July 4 or 5. If you are interested, head over to the page and add your name! Topics of discussion include Indian language editions of Wikipedia and [[:meta:Wikimedia India|Wikimedia&nbsp;India]].

[[User:RegentsPark|RegentsPark]], one of the prominent members of our project, was [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/RegentsPark|promoted]] to [[Wikipedia:Administrators|adminship]] this year.

"While [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Scientology|this issue]] has been resolved, one asks the question – what happens when there is a conflict of opinions? What about a Wikipedia entry on India and Pakistan, or the LTTE and the Tamils? Who can edit? Will the information be true?" writes B. Narasimhan of ''[[MiD DAY]]'' as deeper implications of the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-06-01/Scientology arbitration|Scientology arbitration case]],<sup>[http://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/2009/jun/030609-Wikipedia-Controversy-Church-of-Scientology-IT-Adda-Bangalore.htm 1]</sup> reminding us of the core principles of [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]] and the [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of&nbsp;view]].

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

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|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 [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|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 [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

|style="color:#000"|
WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment|article quality]]. A number of the project's [[WP:FA|featured articles]] underwent [[WP:FAR|featured article reviews]] over the past year. Of these, [[Darjeeling]] and [[Flag of India]] survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, [[Gangtok]], [[Harbhajan Singh]], Darjeeling and [[Mysore]] were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as [[Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760)]], [[Marwari horse]] and [[Iravan]] were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of [[WP:GA|good articles]], however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of [[WP:FL|featured lists]] saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16.

Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced [[CAT:BLP|Biographies of Living People]] (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/DashBot Unreferenced BLPs|565]] currently. During February-April 2010, There was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=361437108&oldid=361415052 large scale disruption] of [[Kerala]] related articles by a [[Thrissur]] based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP [[BSNL]] connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of [[Malayalam]] and [[Tamil]] film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like [[Arvind Swamy]] as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010.

After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias.

Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up [[meta:Wikimedia_India|the Indian chapter of Wikimedia]] have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a [https://github.com/srikanthlogic/WikipediaDYKTweeter bot] to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to [http://twitter.com/dykindia Twitter] was created and launched by [[User:Logicwiki]].

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while [[Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India]] was saved. Meanwhile, [[Chalukya Dynasty]] appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16.

The [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Replacement_for_the_late_Article_Alert_Bot|source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available]] and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that [[WP:INAA|article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject]] will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. 

The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach/Newsletter/June 2010|previous issue]] made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011.

In October there was a heated [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=393196649&oldid=392948652 discussion] in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of [[User:Wikiality123|Wiki San Roze]]'s party symbol images by [[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

*The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by [[Tamil Virtual University]] to the [http://ta.wiktionary.org Tamil Wiktionary] was completed in October. The words were donated by the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the [[World Classical Tamil Conference 2010]] (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of [http://s23.org/wikistats/wiktionaries_html.php largest wiktionaries] and has earned it a place in the [http://www.wiktionary.org Wiktionary front page logo].

== Redirects ==

When you create a new article, is it really necessary to create redirects from every conceivable mis-spelling of the subject's name? The search tool works pretty well and doesn't need all these pointless redirects. [[User:Bazj|Bazj]] ([[User talk:Bazj|talk]]) 12:01, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

== Need help on the [[A2Z Group]] Article ==

Hello, I am trying to create an article for an Indian Organization, [[A2Z Group]] that is invested into Energy generation from renewable sources of energy like waste, biomass, etc. It's efforts have therefore helped our country a lot. Unfortunately since I am new to Wikipedia and since [[A2Z Group]] is an Indian company the wikipedia editors haven't been able to verify the 'notability' of the company.

Could you please help me with improving the Article and with convincing other editors/administrators about the notability of the Company? Thanks!

== References and citations ==
Hi IndianGeneralist. I have recently patrolled your new article [[Tanda thermal power plant]]. I noted that the article contains no in-line citation and no secondary source as a reference. This is a serious problem for any new article. Anything written on Wikipedia that is likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable published source to allow independent verification - see [[WP:Verifiability]]. This can be done using in-line citations.  At present, ''Tanda thermal power plant'' has no in-line citations. To find out about use of references and in-line citations please have a look at [[WP:REFBEGIN]]. Also, all articles must demonstrate that their subject is notable - see [[WP:NOTABILITY]]. At present, there is nothing in ''Tanda thermal power plant'' to indicate that it is sufficiently notable to warrant an article on Wikipedia. If these deficiencies aren't corrected the article is vulnerable to deletion - see [[WP:Guide to deletion]]. If you have any questions about these things please leave a message on my [[User talk:Dolphin51|TALK]] page and I will try to answer them.

I have also noticed that all your new articles have titles in which every word is spelled with a leading capital letter.  Wikipedia's policy is for titles to be written in "sentence case", not "title case", so leading capital letters are not necessary. (I changed the title to [[Tanda thermal power plant]] to conform to this policy.) Please see [[Wikipedia:Manual of style#Article titles]].

{ It's a friendly comment. Please do not misunderstand :) }
Buddy, so many articles for the different power stations! :D . Almost all of them are really short but also complete at the same time.

== Bolding ==

Hello IG! I noticed you have been bolding the installed capacity and other factoids for many power stations in India. I do a lot of work on dams and hydro (hydel) projects and the installed capacity is never bolded. There really isn't much else that should be bolded in an article except for the title in the [[WP:LEAD|lead]]. If a dam supports a power station with a name other than the dam's name, we bold that because they are redirect targets. See [[Maneri Dam]] as an example. You can see more cases at [[WP:MOSBOLD]] if you are curious.

== New Category of trains ==

Hello There,

I have noticed that on two pages .i.e. [[Ahmedabad Mumbai Central Double Decker Express]] & [[Jaipur Delhi Sarai Rohilla AC Double Decker Express]], you have removed the category of Named Passenger trains of India & added a new one of Double Decker trains of India. Is it possible for both categories to co-exist??
[[User:Superfast1111|Superfast1111]] ([[User talk:Superfast1111|talk]]) 04:17, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
:: category 'Double Decker trains of India' is a subcategory of 'Named Passenger trains of India', so is there really a need for adding category 'Named Passenger trains of India' to the articles already having category 'Double Decker trains of India' ? If you feel that both should be there, am fine with that too. Regards. IndianGeneralist 09:50, 7 April 2014 (UTC).

* Actually i do feel that way but i felt it was important to know your point of view. So i am re-introducing the category of 'Named Passenger trains of India' since you have no objection. Regards.

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/IndianGeneralist|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give [[:Subhash Yadav]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "[[cut-and-paste]] move", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is legally required for attribution.  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

A tag has been placed on [[:Thanga Tamil Selvan]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|credibly indicate]] how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:Notability|what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Thanga Tamil Selvan|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Thanga+Tamil+Selvan|deleting administrator}}. <!-- Template:Db-notability-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:ST47|ST47]] ([[User talk:ST47|talk]]) 18:35, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello IndianGeneralist,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[Saraswati Medical College]] for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:Saraswati Medical College}}&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
