Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:50, 26 July 2011

Bogdan Nagachop is currently feeling discouraged about Misplaced Pages and is taking an off-and-on wikibreak due to loss of motivation. Your help in cheering this user up would be appreciated. They will return when their wikistress has dissipated and their confidence in the wikicommunity has been restored.

Welcome, Bogdan Nagachop!                                                                                                                                                                                                Now that you've joined Misplaced Pages, there are 48,515,240 Users

Hello, Bogdan Nagachop, welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions! I'm Magister Scienta, one of the many editors here, and I hope you decide to stay here and help contribute to Misplaced Pages.

Alternatively, drop a note on my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

If you enjoy being here, there are many ways you can contribute to Misplaced Pages. Here are a few ideas:

Remember to always sign your name on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post; this will automatically insert your username, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.

As always though, the best way to learn about something is to experience it. Go and explore Misplaced Pages, the more time you spend on it, the more you'll know, and don't forget to have some fun!

        Sincerely, Magister Scienta (talk) January 7, 2025.

So, how come...

...I didn't get an invitation? Canvassing is a sin, you know...—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 5, 2011; 18:49 (UTC) replied at the related thread, pointing to the invitation that I gave to Ezhiki like to others on WP:NCGN Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 19:04, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

My bad, apologies. I replied to the second part of it but must have missed the first.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 5, 2011; 19:31 (UTC)

Amini Island

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Amini Island, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://lakshadweep.nic.in/ISLAND_web/AMINI/index.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Amini Island, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  Chzz  ►  22:34, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Begar, India

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Begar, India requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ... discospinster _talk 04:12, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Page moves

Please ease up on the page moves, quite a few of the moves you are making are incorrect as you're moving primary topics to disambiguated titles. I see that you've started a discussion at WT:IN, please wait for people to respond before continuing with these moves. —SpacemanSpiff 15:55, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

SIA pages

Also, please do not create disambiguation pages like Kallur, India when the existing one at Kallur is perfectly acceptable. —SpacemanSpiff 16:12, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

It's a SIA page, see WP:SIA. Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 16:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Note that per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, articles should be at their primary topics regardless of whether there are alternative meanings for that title. You shouldn't be disambiguating primary topics. --rgpk (comment) 16:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Canvassing

This & this constitute canvassing. You are not allowed to attempt to skew the outcome of a discussion by notifying users who you suspect might share your opinion of specific discussions. Especially when you use non-neutral language. Consider yourself warned. Please don't do this again. Spartaz 03:11, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

All involved have been informed: "On the talk pages of concerned editors. Examples include editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics), who are known for expertise in the field, or who have asked to be kept informed. The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. Do not send notices to too many users, and do not send messages to users who have asked not to receive them." Opposing party Ezhiki was aware of the discussion.

A kitten to cheer you up!

Since we now have this stupid kittens feature, might as well use it, eh? :) Maybe it'll even cheer you up a little or restore your motivation. Best,

A brownie for you!

I've seen your works on wiki.your efforts to reunite different places of same name are appreciable!Good luck. Roh??· 12:45, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot :-) Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 12:46, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Templates

Forgive if the question is too stupid, please explain what this template stuff is all about.Yogesh Khandke (talk) 19:36, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

You mean Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(India)#Fixing_dab_links_in_Karnataka_templates? Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 23:07, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

No I want to know what the whole issue is?? S l o w l y.Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:11, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

You mean not specifically templates but maybe the whole issue that I have, which is disambiguation? Maybe this helps: Misplaced Pages talk:Naming conventions (India)#Disambiguation by state or district compared with dab in other countries. I think the system for India is not as good as the system for Ireland, the UK, the Philippines, the US. And I think it can be easily improved by using the district level as default.

Your contributed article, Sub-districts of India

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Sub-districts of India. First, thank you for your contribution; Misplaced Pages 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 - Tehsil. 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 Misplaced Pages. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Tehsil - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. 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. Misplaced Pages looks forward to your future contributions. Rymatz (talk) 11:43, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Talukas of Gujarat

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Talukas of Gujarat requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Removing Speedy at Talukas of Gujarat

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Talukas of Gujarat, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:54, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Please stop

your page moves citing WP:NCINDIA. Most people have opposed your version of things and now moving articles randomly citing an unaccepted proposal as guideline is not on. Please establish consensus first and then do what consensus dictates. —SpacemanSpiff 13:50, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
