== New deal for page patrollers ==
I see you are a British Indian.


Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}},
You might like to read these pages to understand how kind Ian Wilmut is to British Indians. He unlawfully fired the only British Indian senior scientist employed by the BBSRC.


In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the [[WP:Page Curation|current system we introduced in 2011]] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created.
From Daily Telegraph newspaper ( U.K. ) (3 articles)

[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/11/24/nwilm24.xml Article 3]


Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

I notice you devote pages to Shipla Setty, a very girly and peripheral thing, but seem affronted by the case of a British Indian scientist's plight. You are not open-minded to Dr. Singh's case as you went out of your way to put the might in "might be racist" in italics. Why did you put "might" in italtics? It is the equivalent to the way girls wobble their heads to indicate that they mean the opposite from what they are saying.

Hello! I noticed the picture you uploaded under a fair use rationale at [[Assassination of Benazir Bhutto|this]] article was of poor quality. While pictures uploaded under fair use rationales are supposed to be of low resolution, that copy was so poor you could barely make out the assasins features or the outline of the gun he was holding.

I wanted to update the picture with my own edited version of the same pic. But I somehow ended up duplicating your copy, and because the whole point was to put it on the Bhutto article, I had to orphan your image. I hope you don't mind, and would agree to have your uploaded image deleted for being of poor quality. I retained your comprehensive fair use rationale.

Hello, as you are one of those who mainly expanded the above-mentioned article, I would like to ask you to reduce the controversy section. I know, you were a major contributor to this article, thus decided to ask ''you'' to reduce the section, and not do it for myself. I was willing to reduce this section since long time ago, but now that you're here, maybe you will feel better doing that for yourself.

== Nomination of [[:Mukul Nag]] for deletion ==
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[:Mukul Nag]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].


The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mukul Nag]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
The main problem of this article is, as said the GA reviewer, [[WP:UNDUE|undue weight]], and the controversy section, especially the mafia links, is amazingly huge. It needs to be cut down and reduced; there is no need to go into minute details.


Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.<!-- Template:afd notice --> [[User:Boleyn|Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Boleyn|talk]]) 13:29, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

:As for Romanov Vodka, I can't get the reason to mentioning it. Actors endorse numerous products every year. Unless there is some controversy behind it, something that is genuinely notable, a description of her work (it only states that she was chosen) -- it's non-notable. You also can't compare it to PETA and HIV drives, you know.
== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Kesava Bharati]] ==
:It might also be a good idea to rename 'commitments' to something more descriptive. The term "commitments" could have a pretty wide range of meanings. Regards, [[User:Shshshsh|<span style="color:blue">'''''Shahid'''''</span>]] • <sup>''[[User talk:Shshshsh|<span style="color:teal">Talk</span><span style="color:black">'''2'''</span><span style="color:teal">me</span>]]''</sup> 19:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]


The article [[:Kesava Bharati]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
::Hi again! I'm sorry, but I disagree with you in that particular case. I have absolutely no problem with mentioning endorsements of actors, as long as they are notable. Launching a new perfume is great and definitely can be mentioned, but Vodka? I can't understand the matter of making a whole section for endorsement for Vodka, when actually nothing regarding her actual work there is mentioned.
<blockquote>'''Article's only source is not RS, and the person doesnot meet GNG.'''</blockquote>


While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].
::Well, the Britney Spears article is not a good template for inspiration. It has recently failed an FAC. And even if you want to do the same, remember that while her article presents numerous endorsements, you have a whole section dedicated to only one. Have a look at some FAs and you will see that there are no such mentions. But still, I repeat, I have no problem with endorsements, but there must be some significance to it. As I said above, unless there is some controversy behind it, something that is genuinely notable, ''a description of her work'' -- it's non-notable. So this one is clearly non-notable. Launching her own perfume is notable, but an endorsement for some vodka, one of thousands endorsements she may have done, is...


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Kesava Bharati|the article's talk page]].
::A BLP should provide biographical information; a new own perfume is great, and endorsements are great only for one of the above-mentioned reasons, but mentioning one of many endorsements in one section is definitely not an encyclopedic stuff. Have you seen an encyclopedia entry for some actor mentioning something of the sort? PETA and HIV drives are great causes, part of her humanitarian work, therefore ''very'' notable, as they constitute a part of her very biography.


Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Nitish shetty|Nitish shetty]] ([[User talk:Nitish shetty|talk]]) 07:00, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
::As for "It is also not a very good practice to remove sourced/referenced information, as it may be done with good intentions but it can also be construed as vandalism." - Just to note, it doesn't apply to established editors who have been working on an article, and although I immesely appreciate your terrific work on this article, I have full right (and equal to yours) to edit this article. We better try to expand her brief career section, rather than adding things to make the article longer. I have expanded her career section, her lead, fought vandalism down the months, and impolite editors on the talk page as well; so I also can remove something which is non-notable. I'm not going to remove it now, I hope you get the matter and do it for yourself. I don't want an [[WP:EW|edit war]]. If you still disagree, we'll take it to some noticeboard or a better idea will be to turn to some editors, whom I met on FACs and who constantly vote on FACs, for their opinion. Then it will get clear. In fact, I believe, we both are trying to improve the article.

:::Why should I have a problem with endorsements? Yes, I personally wouldn't like such section in an article I mainly work on, because my opinion of what a BLP (actors) should include and what it shouldn't is firm -- Early life-career-other work (including humanitarian work and even endorsements)-personal life (including controversies)-Media lists (including controversies)-and so forth. That's how we'll have a well-written '''BLP''' in the full sense of the word - Biography of a living person.

:::Now, if you want a section for her endorsements, so first of all, that's how it should be named - endorsements, not Romanov Vodka, and not only a brief mention of that. It is literally silly to have an entire section ''only'' for this Vodka. If you really want a section for endorsements, so it's better to include other endorsements too, many of these she has endorsed, and name it "endorsements" - not Romanov Vodka, which is a little part of thousand products she has endorsed.

:::When I say that I want to consult an editor who regularly votes on FACs, I don't mean that I want to make the article an FA, I mean that I want an opinion of an intelligent editor who knows and understands what the perfect standard for a BLP is. In fact, the article is far from reaching a GA status, let alone FA. I can assure you that if I turn to editors like Sandy, they won't support the existence of a section named Romanov Vodka.

:::Now, Britney Spears, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, are not good enough to serve us as rolemodels and your points that "other article has that and that, therefore this article should" are not valid, see [[WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS]]. They are full of gossip and data that resembles a gossip magazine at times rather than an encyclopedia. I have always used articles like [[Jolie]], [[Mariah Carey]] and other FAs to promote INDICINE articles, but these???

:Hello Ekantik!

:I made some changes from your revision. I know what a [[WP:AGF|good faith edit]] is, that's why I explained my reversion of the anon's addition. The fact that his edit was not a vandalism doesn't stop me from reverting it, yet assuming good faith. How many scripts can we have on one page? Why specifically Hindi? She speaks nearly ten Indian langs, no? ''Tulu'' is her mother tongue, so that's the only version that should be bracketed there.

:Could you tell me please if you plan to reduce the controversy section? If you don't, please let me know. These mafia and obscenity charges sections etc deserve at most two short paragraphs each. They were never as well publicised as the celebrity big brother contro. Plus, the former (mafia links) is not even related to her directly, and, BTW, was not as famous as the Bharat Shah case for example.

:I hope you find more time to come in more often. As you know, I had expanded the career section back in time, but it's still too short even when not compared to her other activities. And I repeat, ''other''; she is, first of all, an actress. We have to highlight the fact that she is an actor, a performer; but the article, on the contrary, presents her as a celebrity, a star, a "Celebrity big brother" winner, a famous woman, an activist, which is great but secondary to the most important (and unfortunately, short) film career section. I do agree that CBB contributed much to her status, but for Shilpa, the actress, it's not as important as her acting career (I personally think she deserved every possible award for Phir Milenge. Have you seen the movie?) Do you agree with me regarding that? Do you have some idea how to expand it?

:My best regards, [[User:Shshshsh|<span style="color:blue">'''''Shahid'''''</span>]] • <sup>''[[User talk:Shshshsh|<span style="color:teal">Talk</span><span style="color:black">'''2'''</span><span style="color:teal">me</span>]]''</sup> 23:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

::Dear Ekantik!

::I know very well what I can and what I cannot revert. I'm a well experienced editor. Vandalism - revert; [[WP:AGF]] edit, but still wrong - revert. You have also reverted some of my edits back in time. When I revert good faith edits, I explain my reversion in the edit summary. When I disagree on something, I usually do turn to the talk page, but some things here are just obvious.
::I repeat, her ''mother tongue'' is Tulu, therefore, it's the language which should appear there. If she went now to Germany and lived there for 2 year, would you agree with adding a German script as well? I know it's a silly comparison, but that's it. The fact that she has mostly worked in Hindi cinema is not really valid. Her native tongue, that's what counts. She has also worked in Kannada and Telugu films. So what? Also see [[Gandhi]] and [[Satyajit Ray]] (FAs), there is only one foreign script for each.
::Miss Bollywood is a recent event. The lead is here to summarise the article. We still don't know what the reception is, how it benefited her, how it contributed to her success, if that is notable, if that builds her image. It is still on going (and it has nothing to do with the fact that Wikipedia is an ongoing project in that context). Currently, Amitji works in some 10 films or so. So what? What's the problem? We can wait and see the result. According to [[WP:WBA]]: "...the first paragraph should be short and to the point, with a clear explanation of what the subject of the page is. The following paragraphs should give a summary of the article. They should provide an overview of the '''main points''' the article will make, summarizing '''the primary reasons''' the subject matter is interesting..." - is Shilpa (in our particular case) known for ''Miss Bollywood'' among others?

:::As for the National Film Awards, yeh it was a hard task, I turned to almost every possible administrator. The reason is clear: a veteran, prestigious, and the most prominent award ceremony in India, with a distinguished jury, selected by the government. The award is given by the government itself etc etc. Haven't you seen Phir Milenge? Oh how could you miss the film? You should see it. Shilpa was brilliant!

==Biblical references abound in Christianity-oriented articles==
I agree completely with you but I don't know what to do about it that isn't going to take a lot of effort. You might want to start at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lutheranism]], or [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity]], or [[Wikipedia talk:Verifiability]] and post a comment. Your description of the use of biblical verse to "prove the point" in liu of actual citations of secondary sources is, unfortunately, tied up in some Christians reliance on [[prooftext]]ing in making an argument. They might not get your point at all. Still, the fight would be worthwhile. Cheers! [[User:Wassupwestcoast|Wassupwestcoast]] ([[User talk:Wassupwestcoast|talk]]) 02:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

==Indian lists==
Hey friend how are you? Happy New Year!!!

Yes I have done a lot of work on Indian films and lists but predominantly Bollywood which I have split by year. Due the fact that the original Tamil and Telugu list were so incomprehendable I only split them by decade and haven't cleaned them up because I have no knowledge of the films and imdb is very poor for tamil and telugu. I had strongly hoped that somebody from Indian cinema would come along and beautify them like the Bollywood films which I split by year and are now linked in [[Template:Bollywood]]. I strongly urge somebody to do the same with Tamil and Telegu films - a detailed guide by year (given the sheer amount of films) and have the [[Template:Tamilcinema]] linked with the years in Tamil film at the bottom of every article like bollywood. i'd like to see cleaned up and developed pages like [[Tamil films of 1972]] like [[Bollywood films of 1972]]etc. Unfortunately it never seems like anybody except Shahid, Bollywood dreamz and universal hero are consistently active in this group aside from myself, let alone in Tamil or telugu cinema. pLease can somebody clean up the tamil and telegu lists and perhaps from 1950 onwards split by year like Bollywood.

Bollywood is in the middle of development. Ideally I want tamil and telugu to have pages like :

Yep, glad you agree amigo. Thats why I created around 70 odd locator maps a few days ago for all the countries which don't have maps and will begin adding infoboxes and the locator maps. Its a shame Jimbo can't bring himself to spare me a few words -particularly after all I;ve done for his project. Hope you are well!

. Yeah, it is not the first time the user has had some more, shall we say, youthful mistakes. before the user changed their username, they had just come off a block for ''precisely'' that sort of behavior.

New deal for page patrollers

[edit]

Hi Ekantik,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

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

Article's only source is not RS, and the person doesnot meet GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia 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.
