Archiving

Use something like: {{User:MiszaBot/config |maxarchivesize = 200K |counter = 14 |minthreadsleft = 5 |minthreadstoarchive = 2 |algo = old(14d) |archive = User talk:Ganesh J. Acharya/Archive %(counter)d }} if you get stuck. - Sitush (talk) 11:58, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the help :-) Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 12:00, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Something went wrong while archiving.Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 15:08, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

The only offish thing I see with your archive code is the counter= parameter, which should begin with the number one (1). Please try:

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|maxarchivesize = 200K
|counter = 1
|minthreadsleft = 5
|minthreadstoarchive = 2
|algo = old(14d)
|archive = User talk:Ganesh J. Acharya/Archive %(counter)d
}}

My fault. I've undone the archive attempt so that it can run correctly. And I'm about to change your code for you. Hope this is ok. - Sitush (talk) 15:56, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, please change that. Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 16:47, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Blanking Achari (community)

Hello Ganesh J. Acharya, I've noticed you've blanked Achari (community) which was a redirect to Charodi (community). The redirect was there because, currently, as it stand, the only article with a community named Achari is Charodi (WP:R). Please see the guideline regarding page blanking. It only makes sense to remove the redirect if you want to create a page about a community named 'Achari' (other than Charodi). Until such time, please keep the redirect in place.

Thank you! --CyberXRef^talk 20:03, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Charodi is a usage only specific to people in Karnataka and not people else where. While Achari Community has a much wider usage. There is a usage of Achari Community among Iyengars, "As a matter of fact, Chari is a shortened form of Acharya and in the South all Vaishnav Brahmins have the caste suffix Achari or Iyengar to their names" Memoirs of an unrepentant communist [1] - Page 20 and Vishwabrahmins "VISWAKARMA/KAMMALAR A community of Tamil Nadu, they are also known as Viswa Brahman, Viswakammala, Kammalar, Panchala or Achari." People of India: A - G. - Volume 4 - Page 3662 [2] Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 05:03, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Needed to know what can be done about this? There are multiple different communities being addressed as Achari Community in India. So, I blanked the page removing the existing redirect, and it seems it is not the right way to go about this. In this case what is to be done? Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 12:02, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I would suggest that you leave the redirect as it is until you can form enough articles related to the redirects words, to for a disambiguation page. If there are already enough articles you can begin immediately. To help you, you can read this. -Pending^{(tell me I screwed up} 13:34, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk page guidelines

I'm sure that I've advised you previously not to make changes to messages after other people have replied to them but still you persist in doing so at Talk:Vishwakarma (caste). Ganesh, you are treading on very thin ice on that talk page anyway - I suspect that you will soon find yourself banned from it - but there is no point in making a bad situation worse. If you must change something after a subsequent response then you are going to have to make it extremely clear. Usually, it is better just to write another message retracting or clarifying what ever your concern may have been. A read of WP:TPG may assist. - Sitush (talk) 17:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I will leave a note below...Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 17:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I assumed the changes were fine with fresh edits. I will take care. Also the changes did not look very serious to me. But yet they can become habits if not addressed and I might edit something serious in the future. So, I better be careful. Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 12:47, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Just so you know (i.e. no implication of misbehaviour on your part)

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

Thanks Salvio. It was a great experience understanding the | truth about wikipedia. I will keep myself informed about these. Ganesh J. Acharya (talk) 11:48, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Vishwakarma POV and breach of WP:TPG etc

If you continue the Vishwakarma campaign that you have engaged in now for several years at articles such as Adi Shankara then I shall report you to WP:ANI with the recommendation that you are indefinitely blocked for incompetence. How many more times must you be told that Wikipedia is not the place to right great wrongs, that your efforts are almost always original research and that we have policies & guidelines for a reason. Enough is enough. - Sitush (talk) 17:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
