The Signpost/ state of task forces in 2017
Are your project's task forces struggling to survive? Or is it just the opposite? What are strategies do your task forces use? Does your project even think task forces need to be replaced? Whatever the case The Signpost wants to know! Have one of your task forces go to this page to contribute a section about their story. NOTE: This peice is an opinion peice with severel different editers contributing and the veiws of your task force or project may not be expressed in the articles entirety. Any questions can be left on the talk page.
Recruit new editors for the project?
Hi, just wonder if there is any template or program in the project to recruit newcomers or new editors to join the project? Bobo.03 (talk) 04:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Bobo.03: Not sure if there is already a template or not. But if you need an example for template, then you can take a look at {{NPR invite}}. I can help with it if you want. But personally, I have observed that if an inexperienced editor is invited to work on a WikiProject, then he becomes too confident/bold. So instead, I would suggest to invite experienced editors. Also, after creating the template, getting a consensus to invite editors is suggested before actually inviting a lot of them. —usernamekiran(talk) 18:59, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- That's interesting. Thanks for letting me know! I am a PhD student at the University of Minnesota. We are planning on a study to help WikiProjects recruit new editors - those new editors include both newcomers in Wikipedia and relatively experienced editors who have been in the community for a while. More detail can be found here. I am not sure this is something WPI would be interested. Bobo.03 (talk) 19:26, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- There's
{{WikiProject India invitation}}. I think Titodutta also tried some other things to bring in new members, he can perhaps answer some of your questions. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 04:14, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Usernamekiran, Titodutta, SpacemanSpiff, following the previous discussion, I made a set of recommendations (it might contain some blocked editors who I will remove later). You'll notice that they are split between new editors and experienced editors. What do you think?

- @Bobo.03: I think all of them are good. Contradicting my previous comment: I think we should invite whoever seem to be fit. Searching specifically would take a lot time/energy. I think, we should "just do it" :-D
—usernamekiran(talk) 21:06, 26 July 2017 (UTC)- Good to know the list looks good to you, usernamekiran! It's great to have your support! So I wonder how much system support would you like in inviting new editors to your project? Would you be interested in an automated approach, for example, the system inviting the most suitable candidates each week? A semi-automated approach, for example, a single "button" to generate a invitation to a candidate? Or would you prefer to manage the invitation process totally manually? Other ideas?

Discussion re: categorising people at Dalit and/or Bahujan

Social reform in Maharashtra
Anyone got any ideas regarding what to do with List of Marathi social reformers and Social Reform Movement in Maharashtra? They're a real mess. - Sitush (talk) 07:19, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- Blow it up and start over --Muhandes (talk) 10:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- e/c :That second one reads like an essay or a copyright violation. The article is mostly duplicated in this book, including some exact copying: [1] . It's hard to tell if that book is copied from Wikipedia or vice versa. First Light (talk) 10:58, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- That book is published by Gyan, who routinely plagiarise Wikipedia and also respected publishers (see what I did there! <g>). See User:Sitush/Common#Gyan. - Sitush (talk) 11:01, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
- I have PRODed the second article. The first also needs to go, because it seems to be synthesis; each entry has some references, but the topic as a whole doesn't seem to have coherent coverage. I'd suggest AfD. You are probably going to hear some "How dare you" opposition, though. Vanamonde (talk) 05:02, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

- On lighter note, I wish you dare them more so people will work more on their respective mother tongue wikis. :) But can you do realy without those articles entirely cause social reform movement in Maharashtra is one of the core part of Social reform movement as well as Indiapendance movement in India along with social reform movement in Bengal and Tamil Nadu.
- How about draft namespace for both the articles as first step? because second article does not have sources but flow of the article is developable and material from first list article and social reformer articles can be selectively used in broader article, still will need little more search and reffer activity for proper encyclopedic get up.
- Whether there is a need of separate article for "Social work in Maharashtra" ? Besides there is a need for template that would include social workers and social reformers, so it will be better presentable and will reduce burden on lists.

Article deletion proposal relisted twice with no discussion
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Y. K. Raghunatha Rao - Sitush (talk) 05:28, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- Deleted page per WP:SOFTDELETE, no point in prolonging the discussion. Vanamonde (talk) 07:05, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
He is an eminent Cardiologist based in Hyderabad serving as Medical Director of Care Hospitals, Secunderabad and Musheerabad. He has saved many human lives taking personal care. I know him closely and he has done very good social service for the last two decades. But unfortunately, when I am trying to add content to his page, it is getting deleted. Can someone help in rewriting his article page. I have added even the publications from Pubmed. He is really a notable person. I need someone to help. Thank you.--Rajasekhar1961 06:52, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- Rajasekhar1961 the problem is that some of the content you've added (e.g. the awards and social service) section are unsourced. All statements made about someone in a biography need to be properly sourced. See WP:BLPSOURCES. Anything that has been added to a biography but doesn't have a source is liable to be deleted. Also, if you know the person that you are writing about then you have a conflict of interest. You musn't add information to Wikipedia articles based on your own knowledge of a person as you did in this edit, unless you can back it up with sources that prove what you've written. See WP:OR. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:50, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you Curb Safe Charmer for clarifying some points about writing about the known people. I have added two of his publications from Indian Heart Journal available in Pubmed. They are related to their medical teamwork. They are also removed. Can you clarify about this.--Rajasekhar1961 15:14, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Question regarding WP:INDICSCRIPT
Does WP:INDICSCRIPT apply to motto field of {{infobox university}} or only to the native name field? --Muhandes (talk) 15:28, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
- Well, a non-English motto on the English-language Wikipedia is not terribly useful to most readers. Is there no English translation? I certainly think the guideline should apply, and for the same reasons as it applies elsewhere. - Sitush (talk) 15:33, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
Social reformers of India
Is Social reformers of India retrievable? A quick glance suggests it is a massive series of unattributed copy/pastes from linked articles. - Sitush (talk) 18:28, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
