Hi there, welcome to the Wikiproject! If you have any questions or suggestions please drop me a note on my talkpage. All the best Tim Vickers (talk) 04:45, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Categories

Hi, thanks for adding categories to articles. However, please note that categories work in hierarchies. The guideline WP:SUBCAT explains, "articles belonging to such a subcategory should not be placed in the parent category also." So forts in Maharashtra should not also be categorised in Category:Forts in India. - Fayenatic (talk) 08:04, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I will remove the Forts in India category. Thanks for the info! --Belasd (talk) 08:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've nominated Anandibai, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 07:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

When adding comments on new issue on a discussion user page or article talk, use "new section" to create a new section. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 05:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Tanaji Malusare

Hi Belasd,

Thanks for bringing it up, most of the stuff deleted is relevant to and mentioned in Battle of Sinhagad - the rest of it simply counts as redundancy imo. --ti 03:09, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

hi again, thanks for checking. to be honest, i never investigated before doing that, it just seemed natural to me to separate the information that way! --ti 19:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes there is a protocol. It is called WP:Be Bold, that is, Be bold and do what you feel is right. If it is disputed, then someone will revert, then we discuss the matter on the article talk. Since I have not reverted, I do not have any objections to removal of previous image, anyway it was low quality. Good work. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 12:06, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Mumbai Reverts

Hi!! There is no problem with your internal links actually you did a good job but problem was that. Before your edit and after your editd there was a vandelism so I just reverted all changes to a vandel free version. you can readd the links.--Suyog^{talk to me!} 03:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Samuel Stockhausen

Thank you for patrolling this new page.

I realize that what you added was a generic template, but I wonder if you have specific items in mind that need verification that I could work on?

I did cite two fairly recent, and accessible articles that discuss Stockhausen's work. Do you consider these references to be unreliable? How many citations would be adequate?

I will watch this page for a reply.

--AJim (talk) 20:10, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I found the article interesting(I am a biologist :)) so I went through the references of Samuel Stockhausen. But two of them were in another language. One lead to a Pubmed abstract(Chronological history of occupational medicine) which did not mention him which when I clicked through I could not access the article. The other Pubmed abstract mentioned him in passing.

But a Google search showed that he was notable. I felt that if he was so notable perhaps better references can be added. like a book perhaps? or a direct link to one of the articles (since it is freely available in Pubmed Central). I tend to expect more from medical science related articles esp as this person looks important. I hope this clears things up. I will probably work on the article sometime later too. --Belasd (talk) 20:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Found another book ref.--Belasd (talk) 20:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I am still learning how to get useful references. I found the first reference in Eisinger's history of colica pictonum, which mentions Stockhausen (p 295) and said that Gockel credited Stockhausen with supplying key evidence to show that the wine disease was lead poisoning. I do not think Stockhausen's book is available in English. I added the two alchemy database links to show that the original Latin books existed. The Gochfeld article is more interested in Ramazzini, but does mention Stockhausen.

I have seen several reviews of the Nriagu book (Lead and Lead Poisoning in Antiquity, Wiley 1983 pp437), including one by Eisinger (Lead in history and history in lead, Nature V 307 p 573 9 Feb 1984), but the book itself seems hard to find. Both reviewers were very negative about the apparent claim by Nriagu in the last chapter that lead poisoning "caused" the fall of the Roman Empire, which probably hurt sales. However, it appears that this book is filled with other fascinating information about the long history of lead.

Please add more references to the article. I too believe that this history is important. It seems clear that the lesson of the dangers of lead have had to be relearned fairly often, and this might help prevent more lapses. --AJim (talk) 21:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

RBI

Well, you know how the Americans think they're the only ones alive on this planet, so most of the things online, go according to their whims and fancies.
So, I thought, let's be a bit fair.
RBI, redirects to Run Batted In, which as we all know is a baseball term, and baseball is an American sport.
Sometime back, a vote was held to redirect it to the disambig page. Someone said, English is NOT a primary language of India, and hence there should be preference to non-Indian artices.
The Americans voted and made the article redirect to Run Batted In, so I feel, we should all have another vote.
So, please vote, on whether you support or oppose the redirect to RBI (disambiguation) rather than Run batted in.
The earlier debate can be found at Talk:RBI (disambiguation).
The new poll can be found at Talk:RBI
Regards,

Chor Bazaar

{{help me}} I am working on Chor Bazaar (an area in Mumbai). However two IP addresses persistently insert external links into the article which lead to a T-shirt company. When I went through the article history it seemed to me that he/she had added external links on 13 occasions (by my count). The T-shirt company has nothing to do with the Mumbai neighbourhood and is not even based in Mumbai. I and other users have warned the IP addresses several times. I want to know if this is sufficient reason to request that his/her IP addresses be blocked? --Belasd (talk) 18:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Yep. Go to WP:AIV and follow the directions. //roux   18:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Tensor of a quaternion

Hey thanks for stopping buy the new page about the tensor of a quaternion!

If you feel like doing a little editing feel free, right now it is just some old stuff that we paisted in from other articles.

As to why my talk page has been blanked(vandalized), not really sure, being stalked by some really nasty little trolls I suppose that went in and deleted it, because they don't like it that I am doing research on Hamilton's original conception of a quaternion. (Stuff by User:Hobojaks that he/she put on my user page by mistake. --Belasd (talk) 01:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC))
