Could you or some other editor from WP:Bengal please fill in the missing data in this article. This article has been in the WP:Intensive Care Unit since 17 October 2007. Kathleen.wright5 05:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to draw your attention to the West Bengal map. The boudaries of districts Bankura and Bardhaman are grossly wrong. The whole Asansol sub division has gone into Bankura. Can you change them and load a newer version? You can refer to the Bardhaman district map for this.Crackjack (talk) 22:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Please have a look at Sutanuti and Kalikata - P.K.Niyogi 13:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'd like to draw your attention to Bangladesh portal. I have tried to address the concerns in earlier peer review and checked the portal against Featured portal criteria. Based on this I think it is proper time to push for Featured Portal status for Bangladesh Portal, which will be an important milestone for WikiProject Bangladesh. But to achieve this I need help from you. Please participate in the on-going discussion on the talk page and give me your valuable inputs.-Arman Aziz 03:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

On August 6, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article ACS Chemical Biology, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for your kind words. There is hardly anybody else working seriously on West Bengal related topics. You had started so well. Now, that you are back, it will take some warming up for you to return to your old form. My literature links are weak and yours were so good. Even in biographies, you did so well. You have started again with a DYK, but I am sure that there would be many many more from you. Regards. P.K.Niyogi 16:32, 9 August 2007 (UTC) ... Now, thanks for the medal. Regards. - P.K.Niyogi 02:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'd be happy to look over anything you think needs another pair of eyes. I'll have a look at the Wiki section, more publications are always welcome. Tim Vickers 15:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Antorjal, wonder if you can help. I created a stub for articles to with Azad Hind and Indian National Army, and it has just been nominated deletion on what I thought were more to with MoS grounds rather than substance and importance of the content. I don't know wether you know anything about this at all, but if you do (or if you have any comments), could you please have a look here. Cheers.Rueben lys 12:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your good wishes. I also wish you all the best. - P.K.Niyogi 02:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

It is good that you liked the article on Janbazar. I think I shall be able to do a few more articles on Kolkata neighbourhoods. There is another Indian editor, who is contributing enormously - Amarrg. It is a matter of time that he overtakes me in DYKs. So far, he has been really consistent. I am not well up on literature. I have not read that book. - P.K.Niyogi 05:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I today saw Sannyasi Rebellion created by you. Thank you for it. The impact and scale of Sannyasi Rebellion is deliberately underestimated by British historians. Total number of casualties, though uncertain, was much more. Bengal Famine of 1769-71 needs more space, because it was the immediate cause of Sannyasi Rebellion.

I recently expanded Bengali Brahmins to more than double its size, but I feel some points are dubious. Unfortunately, other editors are not interested in it at present. I had more data on Maithil Brahmin which I am still working on. Similar material of Bengali, Utkala and Shakadvipi (recently created by me) brahmins is lacking. I have similar plans for other branches. Unfortunately, non-brahmanical castes have not preserved such data, excepting the aristocracy. -Vinay_Jha 13:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:3116.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Knowledge (XXG):Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Knowledge (XXG):Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Knowledge (XXG):Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Knowledge (XXG):Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Phil Sandifer 04:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:3116.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Knowledge (XXG) constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Knowledge (XXG) page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Phil Sandifer 04:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Antor. We are going to start DYK section in Bengali Knowledge (XXG). If we want to initiate DYK medals there what could we do. Can we use the same medals which are used in english wikipedia. If so how? If not so, what can we do? Help me please with this. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh 05:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Narayan_Debnath.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Knowledge (XXG) articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR | 00:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Well an obvious initial idea is that you could begin including links to the relevant Knowledge (XXG) articles in the discussion pages at ACSCB, as the BBC has begun to do with its radio programs (link). We could then back-link from the talk page with a template that says something along the lines of "New research at ACS relevant to this article." Tim Vickers 14:50, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

One place to highlight it would be Knowledge (XXG):Knowledge (XXG) Signpost/Newsroom/Suggestions, you could also see if the PodCast WikipediaWeekly Knowledge (XXG) talk:WikiProject WikipediaWeekly would be interested. Tim Vickers 19:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Antorjal, have you considered uploading the pictures of Nonte-Phonte and other comics by Narayan Debnath in wikimedia commons. We could use them in Bangal wiki then. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.49.40.166 (talk) 05:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Image:Bijon bhattacharya.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Knowledge (XXG). This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Knowledge (XXG) have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on ] 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 Knowledge (XXG)'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. Sdrtirs (talk) 02:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Project News Tag & Assess 2008, an assessment drive initiated by the assessment department began on June 7, 2008 and will be running until July 2008. Many Wikipedians have started contributing to this mammoth task. This housekeeping activity will help manage articles in better way. You can also get involved! Bot Assisted Assessment was successfully done using Bot0612 in May 2008. 1744 articles (18.5%) of all India unassessed articles were marked if they had been assessed by some other project. What's Featured and Good? Five new articles were promoted to featured article status in 2008: Western Chalukya architecture, 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings, Akhtar Hameed Khan, Preity Zinta, Kannada literature in the Vijayanagara Empire. Two new lists were given featured list status in 2008: List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar, List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality. There is currently one Indian article as a featured article nominee. Two more articles, (Bengali language, Kazi Nazrul Islam) are undergoing featured article reviews. You could help save these two articles by leaving your comments or assisting the involved editors. Three articles are undergoing good article nominations: Anekantavada, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Santosh Subramaniam. IPL was hot on Knowledge (XXG) too!!! During the tournament, the article was among the most frequently edited articles. It is currently the only Indian article in top 100, occupying 58th spot. Do you know of an article that is currently underrated? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's request for assessment. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.

আপনি নিশ্চয়ই জানেন যে কয়েক বছর হল উইকিপিডিয়া একটি বাংলা সংস্করণ চালু করেছে। পশ্চিমবঙ্গ ও বাংলাদেশের অবদানকারীদের দ্বারা পরিচালিত এই সংস্করণে এই মুহুর্তে অন্তর্ভুক্ত হয়েছে উনিশ হাজারেরও বেশি নিবন্ধ। তবে উইকিপিডিয়ার অন্যান্য ভাষার সংস্করণের সঙ্গে তুলনা করলে বলতে হয় এই সংখ্যাটি কিছুই নয়। এখনও এই সংস্করণটিকে বিভিন্ন বিদেশি ভাষার উইকিসংস্করণের সঙ্গে সমকক্ষ করতে অনেক অনেক পথ বাকি। আর আপনি যদি আমাদের এই পথ চলায় সহায়তা করতে চান, যদি আপনার মাতৃভাষাকে সমস্ত বিশ্বের সম্মুখে মাথা তুলে দাঁড়াতে সাহায্য করতে চান, তবে আপনাকে স্বাগত জানাই।

কম্পিউটারে বাংলা লেখা থেকে শুরু করে, উইকিতে নিবন্ধ সম্পাদনা পর্যন্ত আমরা অবদানকারীদের সর্বতো সাহায্য দান করে থাকি। এই সংগঠনের কাজকর্ম সুষ্টুভাবে সম্পাদনা ও পারস্পরিক সহযোগিতার ব্যাপারটি সহজতর করার জন্য এবং বাংলায় ইন্টারনেট তথা উইকিপিডিয়ায় লেখালিখির প্রচার চালানোর জন্য আমরা, বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার অবদানকারীরা একটি ওয়েব কমিউনিটিও স্থাপন করেছি। আমাদের এই কমিউনিটিতেও সদস্য হবার জন্য আমন্ত্রণ জানাচ্ছি আপনাকে। এই কমিউনিটির মাধ্যমে আপনি উইকিপিডিয়ার অন্যান্য সদস্যদের সঙ্গে যোগাযোগ স্থাপন তথা উইকিপিডিয়ার বিভিন্ন সমন্বয় ও সাংগাঠনিক কাজের সঙ্গে অবগত হতে, এমনকি নিজেকে যুক্ত করতেও পারবেন।

আশা করি, বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়ার সার্বিক উন্নতির এই অভিযানে আপনিও আমাদের সহযাত্রী হবেন। ধন্যবাদ ও শুভেচ্ছান্তে Jonoikobangali (talk) 16:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Project news Congratulations to the West Bengal workgroup for having their flagship article featured on the Main Page! The Indian states workgroup is also involved in maintaining articles about India's states and union territories. » WikiProject Indian roads was recently started as a new workgroup, to standardize and improve articles related to Indian roads, mainly the National and State Highways. After all, India has the second largest road network in the world. Iravan, the son of Arjuna, is now our 85 good article. How do we know this? Since last year, more processes have been automated, increasing productivity. Article alerts update the project with what's happening to India-related articles, from copyright violations to featured article candidates. To do… During the last few weeks, peer reviews for the recent general election and 2003 Afro-Asian Games (held in Hyderabad) were opened and are waiting for more comments, as are several articles at the peer review department. Sikkim has been nominated for FAR, and Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay has been nominated for FAC. » Currently, 11,085 Indian articles need images. Please improve these pages, especially if you enjoy photography! We look forward to more contributions from you. To get started, go to the noticeboard. »

From the editors… The last newsletter was written a year ago. In June 2008, Indian Premier League was "hot" on Knowledge (XXG), but the article about this year's IPL has attracted 477 editors, or 53% more than the previous year! Even the number of articles in the scope of our project jumped by a whopping 18,500+ articles in an year. The 3.2-year-old India quiz continues to attract old and new Wikipedians, so join in the fun! Wikipedians are organizing a meetup in Bangalore on July 4 or 5. If you are interested, head over to the page and add your name! Topics of discussion include Indian language editions of Knowledge (XXG) and Wikimedia India. RegentsPark, one of the prominent members of our project, was promoted to adminship this year. If you'd like to know who are the most avid editors of Knowledge (XXG) by number of edits, refer to this list. "While this issue has been resolved, one asks the question – what happens when there is a conflict of opinions? What about a Knowledge (XXG) entry on India and Pakistan, or the LTTE and the Tamils? Who can edit? Will the information be true?" writes B. Narasimhan of MiD DAY as deeper implications of the Scientology arbitration case, reminding us of the core principles of verifiability and the neutral point of view. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing! — , Ganeshk and Tinu Cherian Project · Portal · Members · Noticeboard · Discussion

Hello Antorjal! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 696 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Amlan Dutta - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Anil Ghorai - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 07:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. You are being notified as you have made a number of contributions to the article. I have found a number of concerns which you can see at Talk:Genetic code/GA1. I have de-listed the article as the referencing is so poor. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

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 Knowledge (XXG), 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. What's New? Three members of the project, Abecedare, Tinu Cherian and SpacemanSpiff received their sysop mops in October-December 2009. Congratulations! Wikipedians in Bangalore have been organising periodic meetups over the past year, in collaboration with the Centre for Internet and Society. The next meetup is scheduled for July 18, 2010. Indian and other Wikipedians from all Wikipedias in various languages are welcome to attend.

Current proposals and discussions Please add Knowledge (XXG) talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics to your watchlist in order to stay updated with the latest discussions regarding various aspects of the project. A discussion is underway here to reach a consensus regarding the use of Indian number names (lakh, crore etc.) in Knowledge (XXG) articles. Please participate and add your comments. Join the effort to source and save unreferenced Indian BLPs. Some unintended vandalism is going on at the Assamese Knowledge (XXG) by the sole active editor. This is a request for Assamese-conversant Wikipedians to help resolve the issue. A discussion is in progress here in order to determine whether non-Western (including Indian) forms of classical music should be referred to by the nomenclature of art music instead of classical music. Please participate and add your comments. Watchlist the Articles for Deletions page for India related discussions. Opinions from more Indian Wikipedians are required in many of the discussions. The World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 is at present underway in Coimbatore, and the Tamil Knowledge (XXG) is actively involved at the event. A detailed report will follow in the next issue. Wikimania 2010 is happening in Poland from July 7-11. Indian Wikipedians attending include Gurubrahma, Shiju Alex, Ravidreams , Santhosh Thottingal, Tinu Cherian, WMF Board member Bishakha Datta and Advisory Board member Achal Prabala. We wish them all the best! More on their experiences in the next issue. If you've just joined, add your name to the Members section of WikiProject India. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy! Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 2 – (July 2010)). Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing! Looking forward toward more contributions from you!

Thank you for uploading File:Batul cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Knowledge (XXG) may not meet the criteria required by Knowledge (XXG):Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Knowledge (XXG):Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Knowledge (XXG) policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:38, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

English WikiProject News After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias. Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up the Indian chapter of Wikimedia have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Knowledge (XXG) editing among the general public. In addition, a bot to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to Twitter was created and launched by User:Logicwiki. What's New? Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India was saved. Meanwhile, Chalukya Dynasty appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16. The source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the previous issue made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011. In October there was a heated discussion in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of Wiki San Roze's party symbol images by Hammersoft as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue.

News from Indian-language Wikipedias The Bengali Wikisource, which contains the literary works of many prominent writers of Bengali language including Rabindranath Tagore, has crossed the 5,000 pages milestone. According to List of Wikisource page, Bengali Wikisource is now at rank 21 among 56 Wikisource based on number of content pages. The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by Tamil Virtual University to the Tamil Wiktionary was completed in October. The words were donated by the Government of Tamil Nadu due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the World Classical Tamil Conference 2010 (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of largest wiktionaries and has earned it a place in the Wiktionary front page logo. In addition, Tamil Wikipedians set up a stall at the WCTC and introduced Tamil Wiki projects to people from all walks of life. The Hindi Knowledge (XXG) and its sister wiki projects migrated to the new vector interface on September 1, 2010. In addition, Hindi is the first (and so far the only) Indian language to be incorporated into the WikiBhasha translation and contribution toolkit developed by Microsoft Research. Malayalam wikimedian Santhosh Thottingal has developed a software (Wiki2CD) for the creation of the Malayalam Knowledge (XXG) CD, which was launched in 2010. In addition, Santosh, along with fellow Malayalam wikimedian Shiju Alex coordinated a panel discussion at Wikimania 2010 on creation of offline Wiki content.

Community news Mumbai and Delhi held their first meetups in September, where Wikimedia Board members Barry Newstead and Bishakha Datta met up with Wikipedians and other interested members of the public in these cities. A month later, Hyderabad also held its first meetup. Wikipedians in Bangalore continued their tradition of meeting up regularly at the Centre for Internet and Society, with the nineteenth meetup in September featuring Barry and Bishaka as attendees, and marking the release of the community newsletter. Along with Delhi and Mumbai, Bangalore is reported to be one of the three cities in contention for the Indian office of the Knowledge (XXG) Foundation. Knowledge (XXG) founder Jimmy Wales had an interaction with Wikipedians followed by a presentation to members of the public at the third Knowledge (XXG) meetup in Mumbai on October 31, 2010. The first Wikimarathon, where Wikipedians and members of the public were encouraged to contribute to Wikimedia projects onsite, was held simultaneously at the meetups in Bangalore and Chennai on November 14, 2010. Wikipedians in Delhi also held a meetup the same day. The Malayalam Knowledge (XXG) held several academies in different parts of Kerala over the past few months. Wikimedia Foundation board member Bishakha Datta and Indian Wikipedian Srinivas Gunta co-authored a panel presentation at Wikimania 2010 on the Wikimedia Asia Project.

However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Knowledge (XXG) (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Rosogolla. First, thank you for your contribution; Knowledge (XXG) relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Rasgulla. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Knowledge (XXG). If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Rasgulla – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Knowledge (XXG)'s policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Knowledge (XXG) looks forward to your future contributions. —SpacemanSpiff 08:49, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Knowledge (XXG) arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:00, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

The article Ghanada has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

What is sourced is entirely sourced from one wixsite (non-RS). Appears to fail WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Knowledge (XXG) are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:Ghanada.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Knowledge (XXG) under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Knowledge (XXG). If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Knowledge (XXG) (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:26, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

You're Byomkesh.com's creator? It's nice to meet you! I recently mailed you at the address present at the site.

I'm here with a invite to become a part of the wikis I'm creating:

1. sharadindu.wikia.com
2. feluda.wikia.com
3. professor-shonku.wikia.com

Your articles and story analysis skills are needed in the service of making an unified encyclopedia for the fandoms. In the wikis, you would be able to:

• create and edit articles on various aspects which can be edited by anyone. (completely like Knowledge (XXG), even editing styles)
• create blog posts that are only user editable. (I guess that is what you were looking for in Byomkesh.com)
• create discussion posts and chat with others on others on the community. (almost like social media)

There's a ton of work to accomplish in them and I can't do them alone. Are you in?

Either way,

Love you work

The article Abul Bashar has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Knowledge (XXG) policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — A.A Prinon  10:30, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
