Hi Dwaipayanc,

Thanks for your explanation on the layout of image of Howrah Bridge.

I have one more doubt Sir, how to upload/contribute to Wikipedia Commons? Or to any central repository of Wikipedia pictures/images?

Thanks

Jagadish Chandra Bose

This is just a beginning with Jagadish Chandra Bose. I have more to add to other sections of that page. I am also thinking whether I can add a page on Bhagaban Chandra Bose, may be just a stub. Please give me some more time to add information to the page and then you can work on that page. For the present best wishes for your exams - all the luck. -- P.K.Niyogi 06:00, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter: Volume II, Issue 2 - March 2007

Project News Plagiarism by the Times of India: Recently it was noticed that the Times of India, the world's largest distribution daily had systematically plagiarised many of Wikipedia's biographies on members of the Indian cricket team among other cricketers on its website, sometimes with errors propagated (details). After discussion and discovery of further plagiarisms in other fields, the issue reached the admin noticeboard archived here. Jimbo's visit to India and the WikiCamp in Chennai: Jimbo recently visited India in late February and early March on wiki work. This included a trip to a WikiCamp in Chennai. The one day conference attracted 300 participants from across India and beyond dealt with issues facing wikis ([1]). It was widely covered by the press, eg The Hindu( [2]), which cited the efforts of Bhadani (edit count), Sundar (leadership on Tamil Wikipedia) and Ganeshk (Creation of Ganeshbot to create articles on Indian towns from census figures). Ganeshk himself travelled from California to attend the conference. Wikipedia Weekly 15: Wikipedia Weekly, a informal Wikipedians' program that purports to give "A weekly audio roundup of Wikipedia happenings with news, interviews and roundtable discussions" recently interviewed two prominent editors Rama's Arrow and Ragib(listen). The entire 34 minute interview was entirely about the world of Indian subcontinent wiki-happenings, and was the first episode which was not entirely dominated by discussion of wiki-politics and wiki-bureaucracy, with the host Witty lama praising the efficiency of the project and its proliferation of featured content. Rama's Arrow cited the team spirit, friendship and respect among project members in discussing its success and FA productivity, as well as discussing subcontinental wiki-conflict. Ragib talked also of his public campaign to raise awareness of the Bengali Wikipedia in his native Bangladesh, which has seen a 30-fold increase in article count over the past year. Arbitration: Three cases are either in progress or have recently ended. Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan regarding the activities of various Indian and Pakistani editors on pages related to Indian subcontinent history topics, the national status of various pre-Partition figures, and edit-warring over Indic scripts and WikiProject tags was held and concluded in late February- early March. As a result of this, four Pakistani users, Siddiqui, Szhaider, Nadirali and Unre4L were all banned for one year for disruption via edit-warring and confrontationalism. Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba 2 regarding a dispute over the article of the religious teacher closed in early March with four users indefinitely banned from the article. Currently, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies is in the evidence phase. It is concerned with the editing of Freedom_skies, who edits articles on ancient Indian history, primarily civilisation articles such as Indian mathematics and related articles, as well as Buddhism articles such as Pusyamitra Sunga, as well as those pertaining to the propagation of Mahayana Buddhism to China such as Bodhidharma and Zen. What's New? Vijayanagara Empire Featured and Good Content: Eight articles: Vijayanagara Empire (nom), Delhi (nom), Pashtun people (nom), Nathu La (nom), Harbhajan Singh (nom), Hoysala architecture (nom), Harbhajan Singh (nom), Technopark, Kerala (nom) and Western Chalukya Empire (nom) were featured from our WikiProject recently, since our last edition. 'Dineshkannambadi has been a phenomenal force in the production of FAs recently, being responsible for three of these eight articles. He has totalled five FAs, all relating to Kannada history. Three portals: Portal:Hinduism (nom), Portal:West Bengal (nom) and Portal:Kerala (nom) were also featured. There were two additional GAs, Murali Kartik and Bhagat Singh.

Note from Editor's Desk Welcome to the March 2007 edition of our newsletter. Congratulations to one of our most respected writers, bureaucrats and administrators, Nichalp, who is now entrusted with the oversight permission. In addition Riana has joined the administrative ranks after a successful RfA. On a sad note, Nobleeagle, who was responsible for the creation of the Punjab WikiProject, and was largely responsible for Indian cricket team, Bhagat Singh and Lage Raho Munna Bhai becoming GAs, as well as working heavily in Indian religious and cricket work, has left the project after having his identity revealed. More generally, certain Indian users have recently been subject to real life harassment by banned users, etc. If this is affecting you in real life, please do not hesitate to contact Wikimedia board members for assistance, or ask a senior Wikipedian to solicit help on your behalf if required. Nishkid64, a prolific contributor and administrator, is currently undergoing surgery to fix a congenital heart defect. You can wish him well here.

It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community. Sponsored content for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome, including requests for copyediting, photographic work, peer review, etc. We'll be very happy to include them here. This edition special Translation Department: Can you read and write any languages of India? Do you know multiple languages and are looking to keep your skills at a high level or improve them? If so, the Translation Depeartment may be for you! The translation department of the India WikiProject aims to utilize high-quality non-English material related to India for the goals of the project. This includes both translating articles from and to other-language Wikipedias as well as assisting contributors with non-English sources. The department aims to provide services in transliteration, formulating scripts for various languages, as well as translating articles from one language to another and validating sources in other languages to that of the encyclopedia article.

Dakshin Dinajpur

Hey, I was thinking of having a task force, focussing on Dakshin Dinajpur articles, set up. In this regard I am sort of seeking others opinions and who might be interested, so that it can be formalized. What do you think? --soum (0_o) 19:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

West Bengal in Google

Today I have created lot of new articles related to Kaziranga and added Geology part and made other minor corrections. Check out the article. How far do u think is this article from FA. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 06:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Alizée

Hi. Saw your comment on the FAC review page for the Alizée article. It was listed to basically find problems with the article (PR listings did not generate enough criticism). Thanks for pointing out the problem with the lead, which, btw, was already known.

We would also like feedback on a few points. Foremost section naming. We went against the more popular chronological naming of sections. And the second one is not having a separate Awards section (but integrate into Critical response section as a table). What do you think of those? Thanks, in advance. Cheers. --soum (0_o) 10:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Changes to the lead section have been incorporated into the article. --soum (0_o) 19:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the photo!

I have been looking long and hard for illustrations for Indian vernacular architecture so I truly appreciate your addition. Thank! Sincerely, Mattisse

That would be great if you could find more rural or vernacular photos. Most of the photos available are of famous places. It is hard to find photos of regoinal housing styles in different locally-available building materials. Thanks! Sincerely, --Mattisse 18:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Images from last year

Hey, I was shuffling through my collection of images and came across Image:Kalinagar Floods A.JPG and Image:Kalinagar Floods B.JPG - taken at Kalinagar (Bardhaman district) depicting the floods last year.

India article

Dear Dwaipayan...Saw some of your opinions in the India main article...am kind of new...but I still feel that the article is written from a British/Western point of view. From an Indian point of view, we always see the UK/PT/FR as foreigners and occupiers. I thus feel that we should adopt another POV in which we denigrate the British view and put more emphasis on the history of India before the British came...so that India is continuous since Indus Valley Civilization and not overnight from 1947...I already had some discussion with users IndianStar, NobleEagle, Chanakyathegreat...and they agree, however, the British writer Fowler always negates all these opinions and puts in the British POV with the guise of Encyclopaedia Britannica references. I thus urge you to refurbish the India main paragraph and remove even the word British and put more emphasis on Indus Valley Civilization...and India's first emperor Ashoka...and maintain the continuity since 5000 years. The British maybe just referred to as foreign occupiers. Basically even the word British is derogatory in the India article... 218.186.8.10 04:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dwaipayan, I have not really delved much on the portal side and to add to that, I am hardly active these days due to some (good) things happening in real life. I think the best people to help out would be Ganesh or Ambuj. Sorry cant help out much :(— Lost^(talk) 15:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Rashtrakuta

Yes, I will reorder the references here and in western chalukya. Got held up with other articles I am currently working on (not titled yet, but on history). I will add more images in a day or two. No shortage of images from Ellora and Elephanta on wiki.

Date/year linking in Jerusalem

Hi! This is with regard to the date/year linking in the article Jerusalem. Per Dates section in Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context, standalone years need not be linked, unless relevant to the context. The article has almost all the years linked which IMO increases wikilinks. Yes, some historically significant years need to be linked, but I think the article could do with some less amount of date/year links. That helps easy reading. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to remove links that you feel are unnecessary. Coincidentally, I was just about to notify you that I moved the {{Jerusalem}} template back to the top of the article. Jerusalem, of course, is the main article in the template series. Thus, I thought it would make more sense to keep it in a more prominent location. I kept the template right-aligned (because I had a feeling you preferred that) and moved an image in the History section to the left to accommodate that. -- tariqabjotu 15:26, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

By the way, are you aware of Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Jerusalem? -- tariqabjotu 15:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
