Help me!

I want to use WP:Twinkle but I can't find it on the Gadgets list.

Bharatiya29 (talk) 09:22, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi there - if you navigate to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and look at the 'Browsing' section, Twinkle is normally the 13th from the top. Could you confirm again if it is there for you? Samuel Tarling (talk) 10:54, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

No I can't find it. Bharatiya29 (talk) 11:47, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Okay. What Operating System are you using, and which Web Browser (and version)? I've just checked - you're not yet Autoconfirmed. Twinkle is only available to autoconfirmed users. To become autoconfirmed, you need to have had your account for four days and made at least 10 edits. Samuel Tarling (talk) 12:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the information! Bharatiya29 (talk) 12:42, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

User rights

Hello, Bharatiya,
I noticed this edit you made. While your enthusiasm is appreciated, as a new editor, you don't have a great deal of experience and shouldn't be passing judgments on other editors' requests for permission. The administrators who watch over WP:PERM are thorough and will check out each applicant themselves before coming to a decision. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:52, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I don't think that any policy prohibits a new user from nominating someone else. Bharatiya29 (talk) 15:09, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Many actions aren't specifically prohibited but are not common Wikipedia practice and nominating another editor for advanced user rights is one of them. Please read over the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requests for permissions for guidance. If you believe this editor would benefit from having this user right, you should go to their user talk page and suggest they apply. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. Bharatiya29 (talk) 15:19, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bhagwanpur,jaunpur

Hello Bharatiya29,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Bhagwanpur,jaunpur for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. WelshWonderWoman (talk) 00:03, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Haier T20 Cup 2015-16

Hi. Thanks for your request at WP:RMTR to move the Haier T20 Cup 2015-16 article. While ordinarily I agree it would be a good move to make, in this case I'm going to decline because articles at AfD shouldn't be moved. If the article is kept, which I assume it will be, feel free to nominate the article again at RMTR or drop me a note on my talk page. Best, Jenks24 (talk) 15:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Sure. Bharatiya29 (talk) 15:21, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

The AfD is now closed so I think that it will be appropriate move to make. Bharatiya29 (talk) 14:20, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion and WP:BITE

Hi there! I very much appreciate your work patrolling new pages. However, I'd like to draw your attention to Wikipedia's policy on biting the newcomers. Tagging a page for deletion moments after creation is considered uncivil and may drive away newcomers whose edits are made in good faith. It's generally a good idea to give a page no less than 10 minutes before tagging unless, of course, it's an attack page or some other sort of vandalism. If I can be of any assistance, you know where to find me. --Non-Dropframe _talk 12:29, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. Can you please tell which page you are talking about? Bharatiya29 (talk) 13:29, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

I believe it was Skapparoneday. The CSD tag was added about 1 minute after the article was created. It's just a bit jarring for a new contributor, if you know what I mean. --Non-Dropframe _talk 13:40, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

The band was actually not notable. It wasn't going to be kept even if the contributor would have expanded it. Anyways I agree with the point you made and will take care in future. Bharatiya29 (talk) 13:49, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Please don't misunderstand my point. You're absolutely correct about the article. It was never going to be kept and was absolutely a candidate for speedy deletion. It's just not important not to scare off new, well-meaning editors with the hasty addition of speedy deletion tags. Your work patrolling new pages is very much appreciated and keep up the good work! --Non-Dropframe _talk 13:54, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the appreciation. I realized that the point you made is correct. Instant tags might be discouraging for new users. Will take care next time. Bharatiya29 (talk) 14:31, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Balochistan conflict

Hi Bharatiya, are you still interested in the content you have added to Balochistan conflict, which has been repeatedly deleted? Would you like to take it to WP:DRN? Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 08:16, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
