[edit] Comment

If you don't like a grammatical style, that's fine, but please note that other people may have preferences for it. "Is this a featured article" - well, yeah, it has gone through its share of candidacy stage. Thank you. --Ragib 11:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Geez. I was just trying to be haughty. I forgot my last account's password. :( Zamkudi 11:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Wow. You're Bangladeshi. I thought only Americans edited this thing. YAY! Zamkudi 11:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted edits on the Cartman page

You wrote on my talk page: "Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Eric Cartman, is not consistent with our policy on attribution and verifiability."

Excuse me, but what are you talking about? How did I "vandalize" the page, and what "sources" did I neglect to cite? —The Real One Returns 04:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WP:India!!

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
  • Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! — Lost(talk) 21:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

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

Project News
  • 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.

Congratulations to all contributors who helped to develop the above content to represent the best of Wikipedia!

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.
  • Weekly Collaboration (Shortcut:WP:INCOTW): Collaboration of the Week has fallen from its once high feats. Please drop by and help rejuvenate it.
  • As before, we'd like to stress, this is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips. It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community.

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. If you are looking for a friendly translator here is your go-to point. Currently, we are still seeking representation for Kashmiri, Nepali, Oriya, Sindhi and Tulu, as well as reinforcements in all other languages.

[edit] Indian collaboration of the week news

As mentioned in Wikiproject India newsletter of March 2007, the weekly collaboration of the Indian wikiproject has fallen from its once high feats. This message is to request the users to visit the collaboration page and help rejuvenate it.

The present collaboration of the week is Religion in India. Please go through the talk page of the article to see the proposed changes in the article. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thief!

Hey, you stole my userpage! Haha, actually, I really don't care! I'm actually quite flattered! Anyway, happy editing. Jaredt  18:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, can you fix the formatting on the page? Please. :) --Zamkudi 07:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
What formatting would you like me to take a look at? Jaredt  11:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
I'll let you know after I finish my work on the page. Thanks. --Zamkudi 10:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Irfan Pathan

Hello Zamkudi. Thank you for your inquiry. From my understanding, there is not general policy regarding scripts. However, WikiProject India has conventions given here. Since most Gujarati Muslims speak Gujarati rather than Urdu, I suppose it would be safe to remove the Urdu script from the article. If you have any more questions, please feel free to let me know. I hope this helps. Thanks, AnupamTalk 07:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I will get the name in Gujarati script. Regards, --Zamkudi 08:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Cricket

Hello Zamkudi! I noticed that you contribute to cricket related articles. We have a "WikiProject" which aims to improve, expand and organize information better in articles related to the sport of cricket. We would like to invite you to join us. If you would like to help but don't know what to do, see the Welcome page, or inquire on our talk page. You may sign up for the project on the Participants list. Add your name here and here if cricket is one of your favourite sports. Happy editing!

I think you may be the first female member if you join. :) Perhaps you can get involved in Women's cricket. Also I saw that you are an aspiring journalist. Have you thought about contributing to Wikinews, a sister project of Wikipedia? Thanks! GizzaDiscuss © 09:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

That is very kind of you. I will definitely contemplate joining Wikinews, but as it is I am really busy finishing assignments that are already overdue. :( -- Zamkudi Dhokla queen! 09:59, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tabloids

as journalism (or law) school will teach you, it isn't only tabloids who report the identity of a named witness in a public enquiry, who happens to be a public official, and makes broad allegations against a group of people. Doldrums 08:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

An encyclopedia is not one of them. :) -- Zamkudi Dhokla queen! 08:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] join wikipedia:WikiProject Indian portals

hi zamkudi, wikipedia:WikiProject Indian portals needs you. please add your name in the participant list and start up with indian portals. thankyou, Sushant gupta 14:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Telugu script

The inscriptions and the respective figures are very important to the artcle. You may avoid deleting them.Tejam 17:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Copyrighted images cannot be used on Wikipedia, unless under fair use. In that case, you might include two or three fair use pictures at max for the purpose of illustration on the articles. We have to respect the copyrights of the authors. -- Zamkudi Dhokla queen! 08:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Obesity

I see you have an interest in obesity. I've been pushing for that article to be improved for some time now. Some medical contributors have been at work, but assistance from the social sciences corner has been limited.

Instead of making the article grow in size, I think we need to work on quality. Have a look on the talk page for some suggestions. JFW | T@lk 12:28, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit dispute on Atul Chitnis

I have protected Atul Chitnis in its current form because of the edit dispute surrounding it. Please work out all differences on this article's talk page. And while I am not supporting any particular edit or version of the article, I would like to hear your reasons for repeatedly deleting the vast majority of this article. WP:BLP requires the removal of only unsourced negative information on a person; other unsourced info is generally not removed unless a person first asks for a source to be provided.--Alabamaboy 12:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello there, please review WP:NPOV and oblige. -- Zamkudi Dhokla queen! 10:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 Noida serial murder investigation

Hi there, fellow editor! I noticed your contributions to the 2006 Noida killings and I felt that you might want to consider putting up a GA nomination for this article. With the breadth that it covers, I felt that it was worth being classified as a good article. Cheers and regards, Mspraveen (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
