How can i contact you to discuss raja ravi varma lane more? Mallu.rani (talk) 02:02, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello Mallu.rani, what exactly do you want to discuss about Raja Ravi Varma?

Women in Red

Hi there, DesiBoy101. I've been looking at the interesting articles about women artists in India you have been writing over the past year. It would be useful to have you as a member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve coverage of women on Wikipedia. This month's focus on Art+Feminism and Folklore seems to coincide with your interests. You can become a member by registering in the box at the top of wp:Women in Red. Even if you do not feel like joining, I look forward to your future articles. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:55, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Ipigott, thank you for reaching out! I'm indeed aware of the WikiProject Women in Red and the work that is done by the wonderful community. My foray into editing Wikipedia and subsequently, the Indian women artists, came about during Art+Feminism in 2021. Currently, I'm participating in one of the Indian A+F events as a part of the 2022 edition. Happy to share that I've now joined the WiR project and will check out the details of the ongoing event soon. With WiR, I look forward to extend the number of my contributions beyond the Women's History Month and hopefully make a sizeable effort throughout the year! :) DesiBoy101 (talk) 17:53, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Women in Red! Good to have you as a member, DesBoy101. For reference works and related links on Indian artists, you should browse through our Redlist index. If you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Ipigott! I've gone through the list and the primer that you've shared. I think I'm ready to dive right in! While going through the red list I discovered that there is one artist, Parvathi Nayar who already has a Wiki page but two Wikidata entries - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20563273 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q27452173. Maybe you can merge these two, if possible. I'm pretty sure they are the same. Also, if you could share the merge process with me, I could learn something new.

June 2022

Hi DesiBoy101, I just wanted to give you a heads-up that when adding infoboxes to articles, they should be placed before the introduction per WP:LAYOUT. I think I have them all fixed now, so no big deal. I just wanted to message you incase you seen the edits and was wondering what I was doing. Thanks. Cmr08 (talk) 06:39, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Cmr08, thanks for the heads-up and updating the infoboxes as well as headings. Those were some of the initial articles I'd created on Wiki when I thought that I need to place them after the first paragraph for mobile layouts, haha. I realized later that this was not the case and placed it rightly in the future pages without looking at the previous articles. Appreciate your time and effort in going through my articles.

Hey! Just wanted to drop by and say that I commend you on a very strong article. When dealing with a subject that touches upon British India and sati, NPOV is especially needed—your commitment to neutrality brought forward an informative and fascinating article. Thanks for you contributions and the nomination I was very glad to approve. ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:59, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much @Pbritti for the appreciation as well as taking time to approve the nomination. The article has been well researched and written by @Aadrit28 (as you can see), so the entire credit goes to them. I just made little tweaks to ensure that it followed the Wikipedia guidelines and further nominated it for the DYK. Happy to see it go through the review process. :) DesiBoy101 (talk) 03:00, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Verifiability not truth

You have made a partial balls-up of your edit to the article on PCMC Bhavan metro station. This message is intended to help you understand what mistake you made, in the hope that you will do better in the future. The existing citation from Urban Transport News supported the claim that currently Purple Line is operational between PCMC Bhavan and Phugewadi. That information was correct until Prime Minister Modi opened the section to Civil Court on 1 August 2023.

• Your edit updated the information, which in one sense was good.
• But you parked the updated information next to the existing citation, which goes against our policy that information in articles must be verifiable.

What you should have done was either: (a) delete the citation from Urban Transport News and provide a new citation that supports the updated information, or (b) grow the article so that it explains both what was the case from March 2022 to July 2023 (which was supported by the from Urban Transport News) and provide a new citation that supports the current text. (b) would have been the best choice, because the idea is to build an encyclopaedia.

I will fix the problem. I know you mean well, and partially did well.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Toddy1, thanks for your comment. I understand your point and have already realised the same while updating the page(s). Will keep it mind for future edits. Regards - DesiBoy101 (talk) 19:26, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
