Did I forget to thank you? ..

  Gppande ,Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed nearly unanimously with 174 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral votes. Special thanks goes to RegentsPark, Samir and John Carter for their kind nomination and support. I am truly honored by the trust and confidence that the community has placed in me. I thank you for your kind inputs and I will be sincerely looking at the reasons that people opposed me so I can improve in those areas ( including my english ;) ). If you ever need anything please feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :). Have a great day ! -- Tinu Cherian - 06:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Election maps for India

I looked at the map posted under the page List of Chief Ministers in India. I was wondering if you could create a similar map, for all the indian general elections, starting from the recent ones.--Harish89 (talk) 04:30, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Ahmedabad Page

Gaurav, why did you revert changes done by me? - Hardik jadeja(talk) 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Gaurav, thanks for the reply. I added just one section 'Gardens and parks', rest was just rearrangement of the present data under appropriate headings. And yes, I did follow other articles of FA class cities, to be specific, I followed New York City article. I added the section 'Gardens and parks' because I found the same in most of the well established articles like New York City, London, Paris etc. I do share your concern about having only required information in the article and that's why I added information about just three of most popular gardens/parks in Ahmedabad, not any random gardens. If you have been to Ahmedabad, then you must be aware of these names. If you don't mind, I am putting those changes back. - Hardik jadeja (talk) 16:17, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Dude, I did inform you before reverting. Why are you so against having that section in the article is beyond me. Like I said the last time, there are a number of FA class city articles that have this section and Featured article criteria does not say anything about not having such sections in the article. Information given there is authentic as I have provided link to AMC website there. Plus when we talk about cityscape of Ahmedabad, these places are important landmarks. Trust me dude, I live in the city. If you are worried about the length of the article then, let me tell you, articles of Indian cities are way smaller than FA articles of cities from US or Europe for that matter. - Hardik jadeja (talk) 23:13, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter Volume V, Issue no. 1 - (June 2010)

Project News

WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving article quality. A number of the project's featured articles underwent featured article reviews over the past year. Of these, Darjeeling and Flag of India survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, Gangtok, Harbhajan Singh, Darjeeling and Mysore were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760), Marwari horse and Iravan were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of good articles, however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of featured lists saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16.

Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced Biographies of Living People (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to 565 currently. During February-April 2010, There was a large scale disruption of Kerala related articles by a Thrissur based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP BSNL connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of Malayalam and Tamil film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like Arvind Swamy as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010.
