Hyderabad, India page
I can't see what's wrong with this change of my bot. Everything looks fine. The four calls to deprecated {{web reference}} have been correctly converted to the new {{cite web}}. There is no visible change on that page caused by that edit. What did I overlook? --Adrian Buehlmann 20:38, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Please have a look at this version of Hyderabad, India. This is the version prior to my bot edit. This version uses the old unchanged {{web reference}}. As you can see, the ref's are not working in that revision already. So my bot edit didn't break anything more. But If you like I can help you fix Hyderabad, India. I would propose to use the same method as in AIDS, if you agree. It uses m:Cite/Cite.php. --Adrian Buehlmann 21:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Never mind. No problem. I know this kind of situation. That template stuff is not so easy to spot. It happens to me sometimes too :-). Nobody is perfect. If I can help in any way let me know. Cheers! --Adrian Buehlmann 22:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
now I have a new problem... how do I get the linked refs, the template refs, and hardcoded refs in proper order??
- I fear you cannot intermix them. There is no way to put things manually into the generated references that m:Cite/Cite.php does. BTW how about using {{cite web}} inside the <ref> [1]? (please note I did not change the text, the diff looks needlessly shocking due to added newlines) --Adrian Buehlmann 22:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Help with Hyderabad, India
Hello Hydkat. I received your request on my talk page.I just dropped in to tell you that I am willing to help out on this. Okay, lets get started! thunderboltz 06:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll get on it. But I'll be creating stubs mainly, because I'm not very knowledgeable about Hyderabad. thunderboltz 06:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, the page List of institutions based in Hyderabad India is not a required one. What should have been made, was a category. That is where all such listings are to be placed, right? So, I say delete the page List of institutions based in Hyderabad India, let the page Education in Hyderabad, India stay, and create a category containing the list of institutions. thunderboltz 14:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- EDIT: I just saw that there already is a category called Category:Education in Hyderabad, India. So shall we just add all the institutions given in List of institutions based in Hyderabad India to the category? thunderboltz 14:37, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

"Take that list out!!! It will only lead to trouble for you"
I really don't think you have any idea what you are talking about here. I did not create the list, I converted it from an existing list of external links within the article to a list of internal links. There are many articles that contain embedded lists. I think the only trouble that will arise here is for you, for adding comments like this to people's user pages.

Beatles vs Vengaboys
To be honest, I think I'm too young to know if they did. I'll look into it but for simplicity's sake I'll move the Vengaboys song to (Vengaboys song) just in case since the Beatles were around first... and my Grandmother would kill me if they (the Beatles) were second to the Vengaboys. :)

Kerala is on the main page!
Yes, thats the first thing I noticed today. :) It was made a featured article this January, I think. This shows the high level of the India related articles. I think South India should be nominated for a featured article too. What do you think? thunderboltz 05:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- I think we'll put it up for peer review before nominating. I'll do just that now. ^_^ thunderboltz 06:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, but it seems that it already has one. :P
- I just nominated it for featured article status. :) Check Talk:South India for the nomination badge, and add your comments too. thunderboltz 06:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks! Now lets hope we get positive "barah annas" from other users as well.
- PS:You forgot to give the status (whether you support or object) as outlined here. Check out the comments below the previous nominations. thunderboltz 07:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Romila sows communalism
It's great that an encyclopeadic article is created for Ms. Romila Thapar. Under the pretext of being a left leaning Marxist historian, Ms.Romila has authored many anti-Hindu works. She questions the scriptures of Hinduism, but doesn't have the same approach towards other religions. She takes a fanatical extremist anti-Hindu stand. She, of course is a proponent of Western thinking. It is said that the grass on the other side is greener and that is true for people like Ms.Thapar. But she would do well to understand that the grass on the other side, could be poisonous too. Ms.Thapar conveniently says she is fighting communalism. If she says she is secular, and tolerant, then I presume she is culturally tolerant as well. She would be a global citizen. I would request her to go to some theocratic states and preach secularism there. Her tirades against Hinduism are tolerated in India, not just because India is a secular state. Let me tell you that even if India would have been a theocracy (read Hindu Rashtra), she would have been tolerated. Tolerance is in Indian ethos. But if she would have been in a theocracy (like those Islamic states), she would have been severely prosecuted for blasphemy. But she doesn't understand that. She goes on rambling about things that doesn't exist. I am not a Hindutva supporter, but historians like Ms.Thapar make me feel that I should be one. But my true Indian origins stops me from adopting the Hindutva ideology. As far as I dislike Hindutva, I also abhor distorted history lessons of Ms.Thapar. However, as I said it's my personal opinion. I am a liberal and a proponent of free speech, so I would say let this article remain, but make it neutral and I would say let the word "alleged" remain as she doesn't seem to be removing communalism but feeding the Hindutva hate preachers and Islamic fundamentalists as well.

South India FAC
Hi Hydkat,
I suggested User:Deepujoseph to put South India up for PR. Incidently, you may want to nominate the article for WP:INCOTW as well, since as of now the page has 5 articles and can accomodate one more. Thanks AreJay 19:02, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, hydkat, put it up for WP:INCOTW. That was what we should have done before putting it for FAC. :P There is only one more slot left in the nominations page. Go ahead. thunderboltz 11:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- You were sure I'd edit the comments, weren't you? ;) thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu Joseph |TALK
- Re your questions on the peer review. Let's hold that back for now. I just voted for South India in INCOTW - it is currently tied for 1st place with another nomination. I think it stands a good chance of becoming INCOTW pretty soon (as early as next Friday, in fact). Our plan of action should be: accomodate all changes during the INCOTW. Then put the article up for the second PR review as I suggested. Incorporate suggestions during the PR and then move the article for FAC again. Thanks AreJay 22:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Re:Jamnalal
Thanks for the note. All the text I added was from a single source. More references are needed and freedom struggle section needs expanding. And it needs copyediting. Hopefully these could be done this week. - Ganeshk (talk) 11:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

about FASTA
Hi, Hydkat I see you are interested in sequence databases searches. I would not even consider using a pure SW method for searching in a sequence database, BLAST is so much faster and the loss of accuracy is minimal and PSI-BLAST is very sensitive for remote homologues. BLAST uses an approximation of SW for speed improvements, and tends to truncate the hits, I often do a pairwise alignment between query and hit with SW just to check but that is a minor detail. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can be of much help for Comparative genomic hybridization and array-based CGH articles as I am more into protein sequences than DNA and it seems to be more molecular biology than bioinformatics topics. I can suggest you to join the Wikiproject Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology, you will probably find people who can help better than I can. I'll try to see what I can do for these articles. All the best. Blastwizard 01:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Changes in FASTA article
Hi, I had a quick look at the modifications, and at the Pearson and Lipman paper, the corrections to the article seem dubious at least for the substitution matrix, the Lipman paper talks about PAM250, so the reference to BLOSUM50 seems dubious. In addition BLOSUM50 is not the one I would use unless working with very low similarities, normally BLOSUM62 is preferred. I use BLAST so I'm not so familiar with FASTA which is a bit out of fashion but as suppose the user can chose the substitution matrix so it can be dependent on the need for the search (sensitivity vs selectivity). I need some more checking for the algorithm as the Lipman paper talks unspecifically of both SW and NW without specifying exactly which one, although my guess would be that it is actually SW. I will make the corrections when I have all the details if noone does it before me. Cheers Blastwizard 12:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- I Had a look to the paper and did a bit more research, it seems the FASTA servers, such as the one at EBI uses BLOSUM50 as the default matrix, I don't know the rationale behind that but it seems to be correct although in the original paper PAM250 was used, I suppose you should have a look on the article on substitution matrices in particular the differences between PAM and BLOSUM matrices. I read the summary of a paper by Pearson saying that BLOSUM62 should be used instead of BLOSUM50 if the query sequence is shorter. For the algorithm, it seems that the variant LFASTA uses SW for local optimization whereas FASTA uses NW. I suppose the modifications on the FASTA article can be considered as correct. In addition I've been a bit cheeky and although the editor was anonymous, I traced the IP address to virginia.edu where FASTA is maintained so it is likely that the editor has good idea on FASTA.

I'm going to be away from wikipedia for the next few weeks. Going off to stay in a hostel ( =Jail ) to prepare for an exam (JEE, AIEEE, CAT and AKEEE) that's coming up. I'll probably be back by 20th April. So that's four weeks without computers, internet and TV for me. :((

De-b'crating
Thank you for your message on my talk page. I made my decision to step down first, asked for it to be done, then posted the message stating that it had been done. This is because there are more important things to worry about in certain fora than lots of people trying to persuade me not to do something when I had made my mind up to do it. I'm still an admin, I think I'm a good admin, and it's good to know that people still trust me. I'm not a bureaucrat however, and that process has already been carried out.

Hold it an hour please! :-) Miguel Andrade 16:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
I leave it here! Created molecular marker (disambiguation), unified with biomarker (disambiguation), created redirects from molecular marker and biomarker. Modified a bit biosignatures. I have a problem with biomarker (chemicals). On the one hand most of these markers we are talking about are chemicals. On the other hand, the subject is a bit strange (abiotic origin of petroleum? where do you find a sea of Carbon if not through organic accumulation?). What to do with that one? Rename? Include in the biosignatures entry? Miguel Andrade 16:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agree! The term Biomarker (petroleum) looks perfect. It is also true that it is part of the Biosignature, geology part. One could split Biosignature in three articles, one for Astrobiology, one for Geology (which is not too different from the Astrobiology one in some respects) including the petroleum biomarkers, and one for Medicine.Miguel Andrade 02:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ociholi.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
