Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ramanathapuram, Coimbatore

Congratulations. Please follow up and add those sources to the article. I suggest a cut-and-paste at first, then clean it up. Bearian (talk) 17:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Sure, will do it this weekend. Cheers, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:48, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Double vote at AfD by you

Hi 05! It had not been your intention but you made a double vote. Sorry but I had to convert keep to comment as it was a double vote which is not allowed here. Be little more careful next time. Cheers! :) →TSU ^tp* 10:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Errr, it had been RELISTED [by YOU], so that would mean, anything above the line isn't being considered. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:48, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

No. Please read WP:RELIST. It merely means that voting has been extended for 7 more days to get consensus and double voting is not good at all for it. I assume that you weren't aware so no trouble caused :) →TSU ^tp* 15:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

That happens. Relisting just means that the time is extended in order to get consensus. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^{Talk Email} 15:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Stop assuming things. Thank you for the reminder. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Transport_in_India

I saw that you had started recording for spoken wiki on 2009-09-14 and are not finished yet. In the template, it is written that; If a significant amount of time has passed, please check with User:Rsrikanth05 to see if he or she is still working before removing this message. Thus, I felt it better to ask that if you are still doing it or not and if not then either remove the template or if you are re-starting it, then change the date please. Thanks! — TheSpecialUser ^(TSU) 14:30, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Spoken Wikipedia is now an abandoned concept. Noone does it anymore. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:27, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

I fear that it is not abandoned concept. See the the project, it is not inactive because there are almost 300 pending requests. — TheSpecialUser ^(TSU) 07:04, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

It was abandoned back in 2010 because there were automated applications that were being used. There was one user who did this in India and that user did Mumbai, then FA. However, he has since left Wikipedia. I doubt it if anything related to India goes thru. I'd be willing to give it a shot, but it's a rather time consuming process, and time isn't something I have these days. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:10, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Kuvempu University

Hello Rsrikanth05, I really like the way you are contributing to WP India education related articles, you are doing a fantastic job, keep it up. I would plea to you if you could contribute at Kuvempu University article, since this article requires enormous contributions and also try to bring to other WP India editor knowledge so that they too can contribute to the article substantially. Cheers!--♥ Kkm010 ♥ ^{♪ Talk ♪} ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 09:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Sure, will do my best. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:54, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Your note

Hi Rsrikanth05, autopatrolled is for users who create new articles rather than redirects; I don't think redirects show up in the new pages log. As such, unless you've created/will create articles of reasonable quality, your request for the userright would likely be declined. Hope this helps. Best. Acalamari 09:17, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I only asked because I noticed you assigned permissions to a user who wasn't very actively creating pages, nor did make a request. Cheers, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:52, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Which editor was that one? Thanks. Acalamari 13:49, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Thought on response to IP

Hey, I saw your response to the IP at Talk:Renewable_energy_in_India#Solar_Power. Unfortunately just saying "do it" to an IP user rarely helps them participate. At the very least, you could leave them a message on their talkpage communicating that they can make a change and giving them access to a tool. Reader to editor conversion is extremely low, and unless we actively give them tools to change something, they never will participate.

Also, that was a small thing, that could have been easily followed up on with a judgement call on your part. Responsiveness from the community, in solving problems that readers point out, helps show people that we really exist and really do care. You probably could have made that edit...it was a small judgement call thing.

Anyway, thank you for monitoring the article, and your other activities are extremely useful! I hope you have a good day and happy editing, Sadads (talk) 18:56, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Really sorry about that. I'm a blunt with words. :( --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi sir, the last meetup in Kovai was in March this year. Will there be one coming soon? Regards, Palaniappan. 115.249.25.252 (talk) 14:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately not at the moment. I'm considering requesting people from Bangalore help me out. If any new one comes up you can always scan the QR Code. Cheers, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:50, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

IRB

does IRB stands for Ideal Road Builders? 115.249.25.252 (talk) 17:21, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I think so, I'm not too sure. IRB has an SPV called Ideal Road Builders while this article as well as this article refer to IRB as Ideal Road builders. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:58, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Madras

Hi, can i add मद्रास too top of Chennai article. --122.178.149.165 (talk) 09:32, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid not. Madras is the old name. Also, we've decided not to have Indian language scripts in the article. ALso it is मड्रास. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Stop stalking

Srikanth,

I repeat, and this is my last humble warning to you, please stop stalking me. It makes me very uncomfortable and no editor, new or experienced appreciates someone constantly hounding their edits and making unnecessary changes. After this, I will not take kindly to these acts and will take necessary action. Please consider this a gentle request and stop stalking. Noopur28 (talk) 12:08, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello I am an administrator on English Wikipedia, and know that a stalking accusation is a very serious accusation. I will follow up on the accusation, and asked Nooper28 to provide more evidence that this is the case at User_talk:Noopur28#Stalking_accusation_at_User_talk:Rsrikanth05.E2.80.8E. Until we figure out entirely what he/she feels wrong with your interactions thus far, I would suggest not doing anything near his/her edits, except, of course, on this talk page. For your education, here is a link to the entry in our policy pages on harrasment. Happy editing! Sadads (talk) 13:45, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

In reply to User:Sadads, I found the article on Yahoo search. It is a major issue in India and people are still talking about it on Twitter. All I did was move it to a more appropriate title. I admit that adding Category:Rape in India was not correct, and I was wrong. I added a copyedit tag, and I will justify my action because the text needed [still needs] to be cleaned up. Frankly, the English in use was [and still is] pathetic. I will keep away from that article from now on. I could've done some good work there but obviously said user doesn't like me editing there. However, as a paid consultant for the foundation, shouldn't her edits be under the scrutiny of the community? I barely get enough time to go thru my own watchlist, let alone another persons edits. Have a good day sir. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

As far as stalking is said, there is no disruption done by 05 here and it is clearly not a hounding case. 05's edits were in good faith and were not intended to hares you Noopur. If you feel that it is making you uncomfortable, then best to ignore it as he is breaching no policy here. I myself have a habit to open contributions and go to articles I feel interesting which is a similar case here. This, this, this, this, this and finally this clearly shows that 05 never edited those articles but came and edited that article after Noopur did within the time span of 1 day. I don't think that there is any disruption or hounding but just editing by opening the links which he reached by going through Noopur's contributions. While I appreciate 05's efforts in improving those articles, I'd like to advise him to avoid it if it is actually making an editor uneasy. No doubt, you are free to edit and in the way you like but if someone has an objection, then better limit it especially if it is following one's edits. Thanks! — TheSpecialUser ^(TSU) 09:31, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you TheSpecialUser, I really appreciate your opinion on this, and I support your advice. I am following up on both of their opinions on what led to the alleged stalking, so hopefully we can follow up on this without a major dispute! The best advice: don't interact onwiki, online or offline until their is mutual understanding, Sadads (talk) 14:13, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I look up random Indian articles based on their size. I came across DCI on Gsingh's talk page. I'm not following any edits here. I've have always edited articles which I felt needed to be edited. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:38, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

To let you know some of the articles also pop up on User:AlexNewArtBot/IndiaSearchResult. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:05, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Jabalpur Engineering College

Hello,

May I know the reason why you reverted the changes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.212.227.23 (talk) 09:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

The edit I undid was the library edit which was unsourced. Looks like the rest got undone because I used Rollback instead. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:40, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

OK! You should've reverted only the library section. I'll try to add some third-part reliable reference to that section until then please don't rollback it.

Thanks!

I won't. I'll search for a ref myself. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

That'd be a great help!

Regards! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.212.227.23 (talk) 09:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

You may wanna visit National Institute of Technology Calicut that is unreferenced and claims to have the one of the largest technical libraries in India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.212.227.23 (talk) 09:54, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Will have a look, thank you. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Here's the institute's official link http://www.jec-jabalpur.org/students/student-amenities/

That would be a primary source and thus would be a biased one. But I guess it can be used. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:07, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
