Ways to improve Rajiv Gauba
Hi, I'm Boleyn. SshibumXZ, thanks for creating Rajiv Gauba!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. PLease add categories.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Improve GK
- I think you are very poor in GK,
You believe that Mr,Rajiv Gauba is present Home secretary,And believe that Mr.Rajiv Mehrishi is not present CAG of India, Than definitely problem with your mind, Because as per my knowledge there is only one can set on the post of home secretary,two person can not serve for one post. Kartik Patel (talk) 17:44, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Kartik Patel:. Thank you for your concerns. But I am afraid your concerns are greatly unfounded.
- I have never said, or even implied that the Office of Home Secretary of India is being occupied two different individuals.
- Rajiv Gauba indeed is the incumbent Union Home Secretary.
- And like wise, Rajiv Mehrishi, currently, isn't the CAG of India.
- There's no correlation between the two. Rajiv Mehrishi, at this point of time holds no office. He superannuated from IAS on 30 August 2017. Though he's likely to become the CAG of India, when the incumbent, Shashi Kant Sharma demits office on 24 September 2017 i.e. when he attains the age of 65. But as of today, Rajiv Mehrishi is not holding any office, constitutional or otherwise.
- CAG is a constitutional office, one can't be removed from the office, unless, of course, one is impeached by the Parliament of India.
- @Kartik Patel:. Thank you for your concerns. But I am afraid your concerns are greatly unfounded.
I hope this clears your doubts, and, by the by, I believe that my General Knowledge about these particular subjects is sufficient.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions) 19:07, 5 September 2017 (UTC).
Thank you for your details but I have read this article regard appoint of Rajiv mehrishi to CAG of India,so I put it on wikipedia. Kartik Patel (talk) 06:51, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Sunil Arora
Hi, I'm Domdeparis. SshibumXZ, thanks for creating Sunil Arora!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The subject requires more sources to prove notability. he is an appointed civil servent and the sources are almost exclusively routine announcements of his appointment.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
Domdeparis (talk) 15:12, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Domdeparis:. First of all, thank you for reviewing Sunil Arora. Secondly, I would say that the subject is notable, as he's occupying a Constitutional Office. Be that as it may, I have added a few more secondary sources, so, can you check and tell, if the article now clears the bar?
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions) 22:21, 7 September 2017 (UTC).
- Hi just occupying a constitutional office does not make him automatically notable. Notability is not inherent or inherited. Even elected politicians have to meet WP:GNG. I may be mistaken of course so if you have a guideline or policy that supports automatic notability for those occupying constitutional offices I would be very interested. i'll have a look at those other sources and see if the notability tag can come off now. Domdeparis (talk) 09:02, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- I had a look and the sources are really what is needed especially the Indiatoday one. Domdeparis (talk) 09:11, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Domdeparis:. Thank you for explaining the General Notability Guidelines of Wikipedia, I would be sure to add secondary sources like the India Today one in the articles I create henceforth.

Rollback granted
Hi SshibumXZ. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 19:11, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:RajiveKumarIASChiefSecy.png
Thanks for uploading File:RajiveKumarIASChiefSecy.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 02:32, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Re: Sanjay Mitra
I have updated the Defence Secretary to describe him as a civil servant rather than politician, after reconsidering the content. Defence Secretary is often a political position in many nations, so the IAS aspect was missed. When multiple articles with the same name are involved, the article names should be "disambiguated" unless there is clearly a primary topic, and there could be potentially other articles about persons named Sanjay Mitra. WP:PRIMARYTOPIC has further background about this. Dl2000 (talk) 05:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Dl2000: Thank you! Also, I went through WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (just glanced through, haven't read it thoroughly), and indeed I was wrong. Also, thank you for making the world a better place by using `use dmy dates` template on articles! :P

Vikash Maharaj
The Vikash Maharaj article seems to have some issues, and I'd urge a little caution in linking to it at the moment, which is partly why I undid your edit of Uttar Pradesh (in addition to the "best known artists" test). Batternut (talk) 17:30, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Batternut: No worries. I should have checked the article first.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 18:11, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi SshibumXZ, I've largely completed the copy edit of the article. Please have a read over of it and see if the text matches up with the sourcing appropriately. Although I've generally checked the source, I'm sure I've missed a thing here or there. Let me know if it needs any fine tuning. Cheers. Blackmane (talk) 13:17, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Blackmane: from the looks of it, the article has improved vastly. I would do a deeper check later, but for now, I can’t find anything missing/wrong with the article.
- Thanks for the thorough c/e, I think now it can pass the GA review, whatcha reckon? Thanks again for accepting my c/e request.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 13:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)- Worth giving it a shot, always best to get an extra couple sets of eyes on an article to see what else can be done to improve it. I'll remove the GOCE tag and mark it as done at the Requests page. Cheers. Blackmane (talk) 13:59, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Reliable sources
Tx for input. So basically, you are telling my that a national register of commerce and the Financial Times are considered as NON reliable by the Wikipedia community. Kindly clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Al ashton (talk • contribs) 16:24, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Al ashton: Hi. Financial Times is a reliable source, but as per WP: RS, only passing mentions don't contribute to notability. As far as National Register of Commerce is WP: Primary Source and has to be backed up by a reliable secondary source. For further info read; WP: Citing sources. I know you may find all this a bit complicated, and maybe even absurd, I too experienced all this when I started (as you may be able to guess by looking through this talk page), but trust me, you'd get used to it. If you have any other issues, I would be more than happy to help.

Hi, the article you declined has multiple references from industry analysts, industry publications, and publicly-traded companies. Why was it declined for lack of reliable references? Wikisubmitter (talk) 19:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Wikisubmitter (talk) 19:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Wikisubmitter: first of all, sorry for the delayed response, my internet isn't too good at the moment. Secondly, as far as your draft goes, barring the lack of reliable sources, it's impressively well built for a first timer, so I'd like you to read up on WP: Reliable Sources, that should give you a fair idea. Once you add two-three reliable sources to your draft, it'd be ready to be published, all the best! Again, sorry for the delay in response.

- Hello, @ArtofSuiting: notability isn’t inherent on Wikipedia, for any article you create, adequate sources have to be provided to back up your claims. These sources have to be reliable and secondary, and passing mentions in a reliable sources won’t do. I encourage you to read up on WP:RS. I know this may seem a bit complicated right now, but once you get the hang of it, it actually can be fun. All the best!
