Speedy deletion of BasantaShrestha edit

 

A tag has been placed on BasantaShrestha requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. MANdARAX  XAЯAbИAM 08:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Mid Banesore edit

Re: your edit, is the content you added written down in a written WP:RS any place? A search for printed usage of "Mid Baneshwor" found nothing. [1]. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 15:43, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I wrote the fact on my own . No I used to live near Mid Baneshwor and used to travel everyday for around 10 years. --RajeshPandey (talk) 22:34, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
Not trying to beat up on you here, just trying help you write better encyclopedic content. The policy Wikipedia:No original research requires article content be previously published, not based on your own experience (but also not copy and paste from other sources (see Wikipedia:Copyright violations). That being said, you can use your experience to find published works (any language) that discuss the topic and use them as sources (see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources) to improve the article. You can just list them at the bottom of the page in the Reference section, or you can use inline citations (see User:Jeepday/Cite). The article is currently being discussed for deletion, because of a lack of reliable source supporting the content. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated.

Wikimedia Stories Project edit

My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at vgrigas@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page.

thank you,

The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed edit

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.

It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitz gmail.com.
