:*William, Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though I find it hard to believe as to why would anybody do such a defacing of the article, no matter what the pretext, unless they have a personal agenda. On the larger issue - Are we here to build wikipedia or to destroy it, one article at a time, using rules as an alibi? On my 2009 edits, all of it is gone now, I do not believe it was copied. RMAF is a reliable and respected organization and so is Aruna Roy, which saddens me more, as what is missing is that from the intentions behind the person editing is also respect, we can go horribly wrong, no matter how justified. Otherwise we'd do everything to build wikipedia and use a bit of [[WP:COMMONSENSE|common sense]]. I wish you the best in your efforts.. --[[User:Ekabhishek|Ekabhishek]]<sup>[[User talk:Ekabhishek|talk]]</sup> 04:19, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

  • I am not sure the district map you have added is better, as the words are hardly readable, if the previous one has some factual errors, then it is different case!--Ekabhishektalk 10:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The two other maps available here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Uttarakhand were no better.But the one i added at least showed the kumaon and garhwal mandal in two shades.So i thought it would be better.Ayanosh (talk) 04:01, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interested to nominate your name as an admin

Importance: High

I am interested to nominated your name as an admin. Following step 1 of nominating someone else, I have to ask a candidate before nominating his name. Please tell me what you think!

Some unnecessary details

--Tito Dutta 20:35, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some months ago another editor had also asked me about this, then the list of requirements he suggested, looked too daunting, so I declined. In the meantime I did released at times when encountering vandalism, rolling back or plain shifting or helping with someone's request, not having such rights was a handicap. So now if you are assured that the requirements are met as things stand, then do go ahead; I can devote whatever time I get in making fruitful contributions, be it content writings, or admin work. Thank you all the same for the faith... no matter how this goes.. --Ekabhishektalk 03:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Part 1
Questions you'll be asked:
1. What administrative work do you intend to take part in?
2. What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or have other users caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
You can see sample additional questions here: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship
Part 2
You may have to open your edit counter page (point 6 here) --Tito Dutta 04:46, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sample question
(Please don't take it seriously, just sharing my opinion what I had asked if I was a reviewer/voter and I want to see how you answer it, again please don't take it seriously!
You are frequently creating disambiguation pages, but you are not following MOS:DAB always (As in here, here, here) – I have checked only first few articles and most of those had problems like a) in DAB page nothing else should be linked other than article title, b) punctuation (specially full stop should not be used at the end of short description etc! Please share your opinion!--Tito Dutta 05:04, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Evidently, I have ample to learn in DAB, gave it a thorough read, would make informed decisions in future. Thanks! --Ekabhishektalk 06:13, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked most of your articles and image files. Overall excellent! Thankfully you are not Dr. Blofeld, otherwise I had to check 88 thousand articles :-D (I often wonder how that editor created 88,000 articles in Wikipedia, anyway...).
Sample questions
What do you think of using IMDb as reference in Wikipedia? Do you agree with Wikipedia:Citing IMDb?
  • An important and fairly reliable source of film info; especially for Indian cinema and Hindi cinema. Though it lacks pan-Indian coverage, say South Indian cinema. As for the dispute over released film only, I think historically important unreleased films of the past can have IMDb reference. --Ekabhishektalk 04:06, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
At least two of your articles require Copyediting– 1) Devigarh, 2) National Bravery Award. Do you have any planning to work on these?
Thanks for creating the editcount page! --Tito Dutta 08:09, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Part 3
I have checked your contribution in details (including your contribution in Deepa Mehta's articles etc in other languages wiki) etc. Over all excellent! I think we should go forward with nomination now. Tell me when you are ready, I'll start nomination procedure after next 24 hours! Also tell the name of the editor who asked you to become an admin, we can include them too in the procedure!--Tito Dutta 15:09, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really can't recall that editors name though he is a prominent one at wikiproject India...I am OK too for the next step..--Ekabhishektalk 04:08, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Writer's Barnstar

The Writer's Barnstar
You deserve this barnstar for writing this brilliant article Bibliography of IndiaTito Dutta 07:05, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks! It is indeed one of my personal favourite and on-going tasks, intended help future referencing on India-related articles, and even those working on Indology.--Ekabhishektalk 04:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Admin nomination!

Also see point 8 and onwards here --Tito Dutta 04:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Have posted my acceptance, at both the page, Thanks.. --Ekabhishektalk 06:18, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Most probably, you have to answer those first three questions before we transclude it to the main page! For help you can see sample answers in other nominations. Also be prepared for bunch of additional questions! --Tito Dutta 06:38, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Am posting the three answers, do look into them and advice, if alright then transclude... --Ekabhishektalk 17:44, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • eh.......I would like to co-nominate... :)..is it too late? TheStrikeΣagle 14:23, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, yes, please go ahead with the nomination, I have created a blank field where you can put nomination. If you need help on what to write, see these sample nominations --Tito Dutta 18:03, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen him work and I was pretty impressed. Perhaps, can I be a conominator too? TheSpecialUser TSU 06:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes you can! --Tito Dutta 06:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We should go forward now, does anyone else want to co-nominate? --Tito Dutta 21:46, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tito, you can ping admins such as RegentsPark (talk · contribs), SpacemanSpiff (talk · contribs), Sitush (talk · contribs) (not necessarily for conomination, but just an FYI), as they are experienced in the procedure. --Dwaipayan (talk) 01:55, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I thought of doing so. Are you sure it'll not be WP:CANVAS --Tito Dutta 02:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is kind of canvass and editors can take the topic for building opposes thus it would be much better to not to do that. If those editors in past had asked Abhishek to nominate him then yes, you can ask but not if they are not involved in similar things- I'd advise to not to do it as I don't think that it is the case here. TheSpecialUser TSU 05:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Its time now to start the RfA unless Abhishek wants a 4th nom :) TheSpecialUser TSU 06:11, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If Ek Abhishek is all set, any one of us can go ahead and transclude the page.. or the best thing might be if Ek Abhishek goes ahead and transclude the page when he is fully prepared! --Tito Dutta 06:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I am all set Tito.., though I would prefer a nominator to transclude, Thanks! --Ekabhishektalk 07:19, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I really see no hope if they stress on the point "project space edit" (see the latest message in my talk page). --Tito Dutta 09:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It may still be ok. The RfA reforms have stressed on trustworthiness rather than experience. The answers to the questions may influence voters.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tathastu! Hope to see you as Admin. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 13:51, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Project space work is something I would usually require in order to support - but I'm happy to waive it when I see an otherwise exceptional candidate :-) Hope it goes well. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:31, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Always a delight to encounter a generous heart, and so many here (Tare Zameen Par)! --Ekabhishektalk 07:08, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CONGRATULATIONS
But i had edit conflict with the RfA closure and have left a cmt on it. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 07:46, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hemu

Need your help on the page Hemu. Since last 10 hours, when we look for 'Hemu' page on Google, the page does not appear in Index. Earlier it was on the top, the first one on index. Now pictures of Hemu appear, not any mention of page.Please see if you can help.Sudhirkbhargava (talk) 14:16, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sudhir, This might just be a temporary glitch, watch it for a day or two. When I typed "Hemu King" it did show the wiki article, also the lead in of this article has too many names, see if you can simplify it (with consensus on article talk page) so that the search engines get Hemu clearly. If that too fails, post a request at Wiki helpdesk.--Ekabhishektalk 14:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Could link it today. Thanks for help. Sudhirkbhargava — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.68.239.238 (talk) 17:59, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up! Additional questions!

You have some addition questions in Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ekabhishek, hope you have seen those. You can prepare your answers in sandbox and then post there! --Tito Dutta 13:08, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, you are an administrator!

Hello Ekabhishek! I am pleased to report that I have closed your request for adminship as successful. Welcome to the admin team, and please let me know if you have any questions. You may find WP:New admin school helpful as you get started. Happy editing, and happy adminning! 28bytes (talk) 07:35, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats Ekabhishek! At first, I wouldn't have nominated you and even would have opposed your RFA but why did I went for co-nom? It was because I was really impressed and stunned to see your answers thus went for it. All the best and use this tools wisely :) TheSpecialUser TSU 07:42, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fixed already by another user, Thanks! However, the confusion remains...needs additional citations.. --Ekabhishektalk 02:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thank you

You're welcome! Sorry for late reply. I have been busy with some new articles on Cinema Halls of Kolkata like– Globe Cinema (Kolkata), Metro Cinema (Kolkata), Paradise Cinema (Kolkata), Priya Cinema (Kolkata).. In last 1–2 month I have created few articles on Theatre auditoriums in Kolkata, see in {{Bengali theatre}}. Still at least 4 more articles on Kolkata Cinema (halls) to be created. I think after that Kolkata will be the first/only Indian city to have so many articles in Wikipedia on cinema (halls). I am mainly concentrating single-screen theatres and not multiplex. The worst problem is I have to study very hard to find reference for these articles. I have found this Telegraph article. If I find few more good articles like this, ho jayegi balle balle.
After completing works with Bengali theatres and Bengali cinema halls, I wish to start working (creating and expanding) articles related to Bengali little magazines
With my good wishes. --Tito Dutta 13:21, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seems you are enjoying the flow! Keep it up! --Ekabhishektalk 03:21, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bengali play

After creating articles on Bengali theatre groups, personalities, auditoriums (though lots of works to be done here), I have started working on individual plays– I have started with 2010 Bengali socio-political play Birpurush (play) and my dream work– 1944 classic Nabanna (play). Could you help in the second one (Nabanna)? Ut is a 1944 (IPTA) and 1948 (Bohurupee) play which is a milestone in both Bengali and Indian theatres.

After creating some more Bengali play articles, I have plan to work on at least two Hindi plays– Rudaali (not the film, I mean Usha Ganguli's Rudaali, I'll move the film article to Rudaali (film) and make it a disambiguation page or do you think we should have three different articles on it 1) novel 2) film 3) play? anyway...) and Mahatma Vs Gandhi (play)! I'll seek your suggestion about more best of the best Hindi plays we should work on in Wikipedia. --Tito Dutta 20:23, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Let me see what I can add to Nabanna, which I believe is a classic IPTA! Next you can attempt Badal Sircar's plays, or in Hindi theatre, look for the landmark plays of early 1960s and onwards.. a look at the history section of the article would help, though why not Girish Karnad, the genius..after Vijay Tendulkar, he is one of the best we have. --Ekabhishektalk 02:49, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you for the reminder, have added the adequate edit summary now. Though, I was surprised, you had forgotten to add the relevant text to the main famine article..so added a line... :) --Ekabhishektalk 07:59, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Editor's Barnstar
Thanks for creating Naroda_Patiya_massacre. I was about to start work in my subpage but however, it is done by you now. I'll be expanding the article a bit now. Cheers! TheSpecialUser TSU 06:36, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the kind words...there are so many such incidents of those horrific days that can have their own page..like Chamanpura. The Human Rights Watch link on the page, has extensive details regarding the incident that might help you...--Ekabhishektalk 11:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'll use it and add whatever possible. On the other note, I've seen the violence with my own eye. I can still re-call the terror that was around. We didn't use to go outta our houses once it would become dark etc. I and many of us have been an indirect victim of Naroda and other things and I'm really glad that nothing prevails anymore :) TheSpecialUser TSU 13:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Growing up we have merely heard the stories of partition scars, thought such act were not humanly possible, holocaust was too far, so really our first brush with such tragic mindset was only during the 1984 riots, followed by 1992, but truly it was 2002 that left most people who grew up in a euphoric post-independence bubble of Indian secularism badly shaken when we saw the truth behind our collective facades...sad you saw all that..., but I have hope when I see your positive and realist outlook...--Ekabhishektalk 16:43, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was just 5 when 2002 riots occurred but I've got few quotes and images stuck in my brain which will never fade. BTW, can you semi-protect the page for at least one week? It'll be getting thousands of views as this has recently sprung up in the news and chances of vandalism will go high. And did you liked my expansion? I'm not done yet and may be adding content worth around 20K words by tonight and then will go for a GA and DYK nom! TheSpecialUser TSU 01:37, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So far so good!.. --Ekabhishektalk 04:15, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Neverwas (2005).jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Neverwas (2005).jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Help Needed for the article of Baba Amte on Marathi Wikipedia

I was editing the article of Baba Amte on marathi wikipedia. I found that this photo by you is better than the current photo on marathi wikipedia. But I am not sure if it is properly copyright free. The discussion about this is going on at matathi wikipedia over here. Will you please throw some light on it and help? Thanks. Abhijeet Safai (talk) 11:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Abhijeet, as it is uploaded under fair use, so I doubt whether you can use it there or how for that matter. Searched, yet can't seem to figure the latter out. Another option can be to upload it directly to Marathi wiki, using similar fair use rational there. For further clarification you can ask at WP:HELPDESK. --Ekabhishektalk 12:16, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

Hi Abhi, Glad to see that you are an admin now, Congratulations! You shied away when I had earlier proposed to nominate you for the RFA :P. Very pleased now, anyways.. Best wishes -- Tinu Cherian - 09:21, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Tinu! I do remember your offer...I guess this time, the present nominator presented it all so simply that it appeared more doable and so I went ahead... Hope you are doing fine.. --Ekabhishektalk 10:49, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!
I have now expanded the article and wish to nominate it for DYK. First double role and that too of a man and a woman is quite interesting. I was wondering if the image of Salunke from here can be uploaded to Commons. Its a 1917 film and hence it is in public domain both in India and USA. But would we require better source than this blogspot one? I will try and find one till then. But the nomination has to go by 6th Oct (within 5 days after creation).§§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:33, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I believe you can, though I'd suggest you look for film's poster as well.--Ekabhishektalk 11:50, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Couldn't find the poster yet. But found another image. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:15, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sister Nivedita template colour

Greetings,
I am confused on the colour choice of Template:Sister Nivedita, earlier I used light black to express the sadness of Sister's life. Now, I have changed to bright saffron((with the meaning, though she was not a monk (Sannyasin but more than a monk). I am looking for some colur which will match the following themes–

  • In her young age she was committed to marry a Welsh young man who died somehow and Sister never married in her life.
  • In her epitaph it is written "Here reposes Sister Nivedita who gave her all to India." (this line is really striking)
  • She came to India in 1898 (at that time Sister was 30 years old, though she met Swami Vivekananda in London in 1895) and dedicated the rest of the life for the service of India, wrote multiple books, opened a school. She also worked for Indian nationalism and freedom movement.
  • Her life in India was not very happy one. Her attachment with Ramakrishna Mission broke for some reason etc.

Now, which colour matches these all? Any suggestion please?
Regards!
Tito Dutta

About colour you can choose the colour from here.--Tito Dutta 09:37, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) For being "Nivedita" (Dedicated to God) i would have suggested the same orange shade of Template:Swami Vivekananda. But as her work wasn't solely religious, some other colour would also work out. I didn't understand why Template:Ramakrishna is of sky blue colour. That could very well be of the same orange shade. I, in fact, was gonna suggest that blue shade for Nivedita; it sort of represents India. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 09:54, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also i am very glad Tito that you are putting such a thought process on colour selection. Good job! §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 09:55, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings,
Ramakrishna was not a Sannyasi, that's why saffron was not chosen. In The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna (collection of all his sayings), he told many times that colour of Krishna/Kali or colour of sky/water these are symbolic. As colour of sky or water seems to be blue but, if we go closer we find it is colourless, similarly if we approach (try to find) Krishna/Kali/God, we'll find his colour is not blue/black. Bule/black here actually is the symbol of our ignorance. He has some more quotes on light blue/blue like light blue symbolizes vastness, eternity, that's why that colour was chosen! Please change if you want! --Tito Dutta 10:09, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no! This explanation is good. Glad i asked. But in such relation sky blue won't suit Sister Nivedita. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:23, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Don't know! That's why asking! --Tito Dutta 10:27, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello Tito! If you had meditated on it, this task would have been fairly easy, simply tune in to her energy, as we don't go anywhere after we leave the mortal shell do we, all here near by... In any case, I am glad you and Dharma intuitively went for the blue shade, which is bang on!.. and light blue at that would be perfect for this very wise, loving and joyous lady! --Ekabhishektalk 17:13, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! I have changed the colour to blue here: {{Sister Nivedita}}! Looks much better! --Tito Dutta 22:23, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bengali theatre

I need some help in this template, Template:Bengali theatre, can you add few entries in Bangladesh section and comment on color combination? --Tito Dutta (talk) 10:19, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think this template can be made compact by removing one of the images, and simplifying the borders and boxes. Also try a single colour, say sky blue, which would have more harmony. Try this look Template:Theatre in Detroit, for example. --Ekabhishektalk 13:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Nabanna image has some problems. Per commons consensus, all Indian PD images without PD-1923 tag will be deleted. The image may face problem then. The Academy of Fine Arts image is okay– under CC SA license. The Detroit template is simple and elegant. Bengali template size will get doubled, in next few months I'll create some articles on Bangladeshi theatre, they too have a rich heritage, the good point is their newspapers like The Daily Star etc cover their theatres regularly. About colours, I chose colors nation's common colours. I do wish to create a third group "Other countries" (that means group a Bangladesh, group b India, group c Other countries), but, I see no hope to start that section within next few months! --Tito Dutta (talk) 14:25, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Single colour is looking dull, you can test here: User:Titodutta/sandbox --Tito Dutta (talk) 14:26, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd go for the subtle colour variations in the Detroit template, (two shades of blue), so that it doesn't overshadow the article itself, also choose the image you find befitting.. Will add whatever comes to my mind... --Ekabhishektalk 14:30, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ya, edit freely (colour change etc)! I have seen some people can perform in much better way when there is not any condition or restriction! --Tito Dutta (talk) 14:42, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Amity University

Dear Ekabhishek,

I am the President of Amity and would request for your help in rectifying a few things on the Amity University website. Not fully knowing how the environment on Wikipedia works it is very difficult for us, but you seem to be an expert. As you may be aware, Amity is a large non-profit foundation in India. We have 100,000 students across many schools and Universities. We are a very honest and hardworking group with a clear dedication to serving out Country India. Because of our honesty and the rapid growth of Amity, we have always faced problems. For some reason someone is very adament in writing all negative things on the Amity University Page. This very badly impacts the students who are studying at Amity. There are two issues that are not correct and keep coming up. One is about AICTE. The law of the land says that Universities do not come under AICTE and do not need any permission from them. Now it seems that some foreign journalist in one of the papers wrote that Amity does not have AICTE approval or it was withdrawn. There is no case of it being withdrawn as Amity University never had it in the first place. Now people keeping referring to this wrong statement and uploading on the page. This is creating a lot of confusion for our students as well as students wanting to apply and the industry who want to recruit from Amity. Not everyone is aware of the laws of the country and by reading this they think that Amity University is doing something wrong. We request for your help to resolve this. There is also the issue of some warrants against Dr Chauhan. This is also absolutely wrong. There were some people who tried to blackmail the group and used all their power with the media and politics as we did not relent. We have documentation which shows that there is nothing at like this. what happened is that a journalist published a false story in a magasine. This magasine subsequently removed the material when the owners realised what the journalist had wrongly done. But in the meantime other journalists saw the article and wrote about it thinking it was true. That is why there are wrong stories from many years ago still floating around the internet. It is now coming up again because someone is proactively putting it up on wikipedia. how do we solve this? It is very unfortunate that absolutely wrong information is being given about a living person.

Many thanks for your help. 165.123.45.193 (talk) 19:06, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please contact me at president@amity.edu. Many thanks. It is very urgent. 76.124.109.233 (talk) 08:37, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concerns, wikipedia has elaborate ways for Dispute resolution, so please give this article a thorough read. Here you would be guided to take up the issue with one of the Disputes resolution Noticeboards or specifically Requests for comment or the next option Dispute resolution noticeboard, if you feel befitting, where it can be better handled.
Under WikiProject Cooperation, "employees working on assignments from their employers" or a "paid editor" are also offered help, see here, otherwise directly editing themselves puts them in a Conflict of interest. Hope this helps.. Thanks! --Ekabhishektalk 06:19, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aruna Roy

An article edited by you a couple of years ago is now on WP:ANI. User RobertRosen claims RMAF is not a reliable source for sourcing personal details of Aruna Roy. I took him to WP:RSN which too failed to make things clear. I checked the article's history and found that a different version of the text subject to dispute was added by you in 2009. The same was removed by RobertRosen in 2011 stating that the entire section is copied from the source. What is your say? morelMWilliam 19:13, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • William, Thanks for bringing it to my attention, though I find it hard to believe as to why would anybody do such a defacing of the article, no matter what the pretext, unless they have a personal agenda. On the larger issue - Are we here to build wikipedia or to destroy it, one article at a time, using rules as an alibi? On my 2009 edits, all of it is gone now, I do not believe it was copied. RMAF is a reliable and respected organization and so is Aruna Roy, which saddens me more, as when it is is missing from our intentions behind editing here, we can go horribly wrong, no matter how justified. Otherwise we'd do everything to build wikipedia and use a bit of common sense. I wish you the best in your efforts.. --Ekabhishektalk 04:19, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
