Indian newspaper search

I've just used your customised search in an attempt to expand Vinod Jose. I got nowhere in terms of expansion but, hey, the search itself worked like a dream and produced many more hits than the standard Google job. Thanks very much for this. - Sitush (talk) 08:49, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

If you please allow me and in case if you didn't know it already, just a tip. You can use all advanced Google's search operators like "Queryyyy" for exact query or - to remove something (eg. Sonia Gandhi -UPA) or my favorite one "Sonia Gandhi The Hindu" or "Sonia Gandhi site:thehindu.com" fo mainly The Hindu results. --Tito Dutta (contact) 09:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Not sure about the first, which looks weird, but I know of the latter two. There is a somewhat bizarre saying here in the UK that probably originated from the football (soccer) grounds: "We eat all the pies so you don't have to". It is far too complex for me to try to explain the likely origins etc - the Brit psyche is very weird, and the football subcategory even more so! - but just take it from me, you've eaten all the pies and saved me a lot of effort working out the recipe and wasting time eating them myself. Simple, well-considered tools such as this are an absolute boon and deserve a barnstar. I am not a big donor of barnstars but, hey, please have one ...

		What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
		This is for a lot of stuff, not just your recent efforts to give us better access to the awkward Google results for Indian news sources, although that alone deserves it. Keep on doing what you do. It is much appreciated. Sitush (talk) 23:48, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

I owe you two bits of thanks! First, thank you for the invite to WikiProject India. I've already contributed to the area of Indian journalists by article creation (List of Indian journalists), article improvement of bios, or saving notable (IMHO) journalists from AfD attempts. Second, thank you for telling me about this amazing search source that I did not know about! And I too have been trying to expand on the Vinod Jose's article. How do I launch another independent search?

I'm fascinated by Indian journalism and the multiple language streams in which journalists there work. Is there any solution to my problem of finding sources in Malayalam (or even Telugu) language that you know about? These languages are not covered in Google search and articles in those languages are not accessible in commercial databases. Cheers, Crtew (talk) 10:17, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you can create another independent search. In case if it is related to WP India, please share it with WP India team. The basic code (the easier part) is in Google CSE. And then modification, placing etc have been done in my3gb. I did not use direct Google CSE page for following reasons a) I wanted to give a list of indexed newspaper b) there it was compulsory to sign in to Google account c) I wanted to customizes some links in that page. If you want I can share CSE settings with you (you have to provide email id where I'll invite as you an admin). But, frankly, there are 100 or something indexed newspapers there, I don't think I am going to make major changes there in near future.

About Indian language database, we have recently discussed it here. That went nowhere. --Tito Dutta (contact) 17:02, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

How to upload images from Bollywood Hungama?

Nowadays, a tag of Bollywood Hungama is placed on almost every image (celebrities, events, etc.) published by the site. You can check it yourself. So, what is the way to upload images of celebrities from Bollywood Hungama? Bubaikumar (talk) 07:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

you can upload only Bollywood Hungama events images (not wallpapers, posters), and try to upload un-watermarked images (i.e. where Bollywood Hungama's name is not printed in the image. About the process go to Commons and upload. Use {{Cc-by-3.0-BollywoodHungama}} as license! --Tito Dutta (contact) 07:39, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

But nowadays, even all the events and parties images are also watermarked. What to do? Bubaikumar (talk) 11:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

At the same time, if an image is watermarked, then can I crop a portion of it as it is done in the image File:Varun Dhawan Stardust Conference.jpg? Bubaikumar (talk) 11:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Reviewing File:Girish Kumar at the music release of Ramaiya Vastavaiya.jpg and File:Shalmali Kholgade at TOIFA 2013.jpg

I have uploaded an image of Girish Kumar Taurani and Shalmali Kholgade and used it in the article dealing with them. Can you please review them? Bubaikumar (talk) 12:07, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

both of these image look good and reviewed and have been reviewed. Though you have not done so far, yet as you are uploading images now, do not change image in an article just to put your upload. In addition, you can directly upload cropped version. You don't need to upload the main version first. Everything else looks good! --Tito Dutta (contact) 15:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Bubaikumar (talk) 16:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Ok, well it seems to me there is general approval of that hook and discussion seems to have stopped.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 16:04, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

That I offered another alternate hook would suggest I prefer the one I suggested (ALT2). ;) --The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 16:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that's all right! I am very much active in Misplaced Pages these days. Carry on your discussion freely, I'll catch up. Other reviewers can join too! Seeing the initial responses, I was expecting more reviewers! --Tito Dutta (contact) 16:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day

Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.

Quality

Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content

Is more content needed?

Headings

Does this article have an appropriate section structure?

Images

Is the number of illustrative images about right?

Links

Does this article link to enough other Misplaced Pages articles?

Sources

For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 12:16, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Blocking an IP address

I think the IP address 120.59.6.240 immediately needs to be blocked. It has only made two edits in the page Girish Kumar and both the edits are just HORRIBLE and HUMILIATING. You can check it for yourself

• See http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Girish_Kumar&diff=556283588&oldid=556283320
• See http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Girish_Kumar&diff=556283320&oldid=556253111

What do you think? Such users are only aimed at damaging Misplaced Pages contents with bad words. Bubaikumar (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

First, you need to warn the user. I have just warned the IP. Use WP:Twinkle to quickly warn. After warning 3—4 times, report at WP:AIV. Don't report now, it'll be rejected, he has only 2 edits! --Tito Dutta (contact) 17:45, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Meghe Dhaka Tara (2013 film)

On 27 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Meghe Dhaka Tara (2013 film), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2013 film Meghe Dhaka Tara is inspired by the life and works of Ritwik Ghatak who made a film of the same name in 1960? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Meghe Dhaka Tara (2013 film). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Question

You have said that RMs are automatically included and monitored by a bot but I don't see anything happening with Mithunam (2012 film) or Rachcha. I am just curious ... Should we ask admins to close it? Nagarjuna198 (talk) 02:29, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I answered at Mithunam's talk page. But just in case... A RM can only be closed after a minimum of 7 days. Also, it should be closed by a neutral party. Somebody who voted in the discussion or initiated the discussion is not neutral. Tito is also neither neutral nor natural. Bgwhite (talk) 04:54, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

@User:Nagarjuna198. I just closed the move discussion of Racha/Rachcha. It was a case of no consensus. Bgwhite (talk) 05:29, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

@Bgwhite :Thanks. So there is no bot that automatically checks RMs like Tito said? Nagarjuna198 (talk) 06:10, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

@TitoDutta: I provided all the info/evidence you asked regarding Racha/Rachcha but you never responded. Thats Ok. :-)Nagarjuna198 (talk) 06:10, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

• I saw your reply to TrioDutta! I asked for reliable government documents and you presented this graphic design work and asked me to change vote! RMs ae monitored by User:RMCD bot! --Tito Dutta (contact) 06:46, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

* what about CBFC (Rachha) and google search only calls it "Rachcha". But none says "Racha". Anyway I will RM again. Nagarjuna198 (talk) 07:01, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

• You cannot request it again as it will be speedily closed. As I pointed out on the closing, the majority of reliable refs in the article say Racha as well as the official trailer. There is no clear-cut spelling of the movie. There are a ton of Google results for Racha and Rachcha. It would be best if you moved on. Bgwhite

(talk) 07:12, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

CBFC doesnt call it Racha. It calls it "Rachha". Racha doesnt get as many hits as Rachcha. Nagarjuna198 (talk) 07:52, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Your requested move of List of Bengali films of 2013

Hello Titodutta. I see you made this move request which I was thinking of closing. You've also participated at Misplaced Pages talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#2013 Bangladesh India WikiProjects dispute resolution. How about if I close your request as Not Moved, with a comment that you can reopen the request at any time if the discussion at WT:INB either makes progress or dies out with no action? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 14:53, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Ya, that can be done! Remove that "See WT:INB" notice from the bottom of the RM while closing, that can be mentioned at the closure statement! The closure will be incorrect (per RM discussion and INB comments), but, who'll move and copyedit 90+ articles now? --Tito Dutta (contact) 14:59, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Closed the request as not moved, without ruling on the merits. If you do get support to do this, I hope you can find some people to help you because a lot of material might need to be reshuffled if all the Bengali films need to go in the same list. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:17, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Would you help me?

Hello Titodutta. I'm asking you this because you are apparently wise in the ways of DYK, appear sanguine, and are one of the DYK folks that I haven't insulted (I hope!) due to excessive nervousness about the DYK process, which I don't know well. (I have participated in DYK several times, think DYK is a fine thing (should be expanded to include newly-GA'd articles IMO though), appreciate the work of the DYK folks, and feel badly if I'm making extra work for anyone.)

Could you help me understand -- and even keep me updated, if you would -- on the status of the proposed DYK for Wikipediocracy. Last I saw it was moved to Prep Area 3 (which I'm still a ittle fuzzy on what that is), but it's not there now. Where is it? It can't be nowhere I wouldn't think. I think (not sure) that it was removed from Prep Area 3 because of the AfD.

What about the RfC? If the AfD results in Keep or No Consensus (which it surely will and quite possibly should), will the RfC be ignored and the DYK nom go forward to publishing? I hope not, but I haven't really seen a positive answer to this question.

(I'm assuming that this won't happen -- The RfC looks reasonable, and there's no consensus that such RfC's aren't valid where I have asked, and I'm confident that the DYK folks are men and women of good will and subtle thought -- but just in case (I told you I'm nervous about all this!) if you are "in" with the DYK folks, could you communicate that if it does happen, this would make me feel pretty badly done by and I would likely push the matter to some form of further discussion (which I hope nobody wants). You have my permission to preface any communications in this regard with "Yes, I know he's been acting like an asshole, but..." or somesuch if you wish.)

Could I receive your reply by return post? If you can't help me out with that's perfectly fine, but you could you let me know that soonest, and perhaps even point to someone who could? Thank you. Herostratus (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

• Hey, what's up? I am very busy with the recent death Rituparno Ghosh at this moment! The quick reply is— yes, if the RFC and AFD close as "kept" the DYK will go ahead! Read User:Crisco 1492's post at RFC. That was bang on target. --Tito Dutta (contact) 15:21, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

• Hi Herostratus, the Wikipediocracy DYK nomination is on the back burner (so to speak) until such time as the AFD closes (you can still access it through T:TDYK though). If the article's deleted, the RFC is moot. If not, it will be up to the community: will they prefer to discuss it at WT:DYK or at the DYK nomination? I personally think the latter is better, although some may disagree. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:27, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

OK, thank you. If the is DYK is published the RfC is moot also of course. That would be huge problem I think; I think that RfC's trump DYK discussions -- that is mainly what RfC's are for after all, to let the larger community override purely local talk page discussions and decisions.

I admit this a little different because we're not talking about an article talk page discussions, and this is a new thing since RfC has not been run on a main page item before (that I know of). But your statement "If (the AfD fails), it will be up to the community: will they prefer to discuss it at WT:DYK or at the DYK nomination?" makes me nervous. I'm not sure what "community" you refer to here -- The larger Misplaced Pages community or the DYK community? if you mean the larger Misplaced Pages community, they have estabished RfC just for this purpose. And DYK internal discussion are more set up to deal with technical matters (is the hook the right length, is the article the right age, is the article of acceptable quality, and so forth) rather than the larger points I raised at my RfC vote.

Your comment "I personally think the latter is better" also makes me nervous, not because it's not a valid opinion (this situation is a little different from most RfC's after all) even though I disagree with it, but because others might share this opinion, including someone with the rights and inclination to publish the DYK.

I think there should be an extensive discussion, maybe another RfC or something, to establish whether or not main page items may be RfC'd. But there's no time for that for this case. For all the nervous-making reasons state above, and because this is time-sensitive such that WP:WRONGVERSION doesn't apply, my inclination is to now go to WP:AN and seek guidance and help there. Is there any reason to belay that step, do you think? I don't want to make anyone mad or anything, but I also don't want the RfC to be published unless the RfC passes (FWIW, I think the RfC probably will pass if enough people go there, which is my answer to this conundrum, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.) Thanks again. Herostratus (talk) 16:13, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Alasinga Perumal

On 31 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alasinga Perumal, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Alasinga Perumal (pictured) sold his wife's jewelry to help the financially beleaguered Swami Vivekananda, a participant in the 1893 Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alasinga Perumal. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Feel free to suggest an altblurb. I unmarked ready at ITN in part to give you time to do this. I support the nom only after reading the article--the only thing I can do in Bangla is count to ten. But he seems quite fascinating from the article. μηδείς (talk) 03:28, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I saw you removed "Ready". The removal was unfortunate. Frankly, (what I am attempting not to tell there), the article was updated and nominated within six hours of subject's death (a good number of newspapers did not publish that at that time), and for last 1 day, it is in the queue. A recent news should be a recent news. Anyway...
You don't need to read Bengali. Search in English, you'll get hundreds (yes, "hundreds", don't believe? see this) of news articles. --Tito Dutta (contact) 03:34, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Cinematic vision

Cinematic vision is much more important his sexuality. The sexuality has been reported in publications now and then, so needs some coverage (may be in a personal life section). But cinematic vision really needs to be further developed. I will be busy for, perhaps, next 72 hours, so may not be of much help.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:12, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

The problem is, I have hundreds of tribute type comments. But, not much details on cinematic vision! --Tito Dutta (contact) 04:17, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

I did a quick google book and scholar search. There is a large chapter on Chokher Bali in a book, which may be of some help. But, unlike many other globally famous directors, he has not been thoroughly discussed in books. There may be stray articles in film journals, but I did not search very thoroughly.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:26, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

नमस्ते! Though I added a Hindi transliteration for the first time here, I did not expect a revert. Can I have a reason?

Rituparno Ghosh

Tweets of Bengali actors should be removed in favour of other well known actors who can claim to have been directed by him. Have the whole list, then remove on a judicious basis. This call for no more tweets is kinda dictatorial. Plus, there's no logic to remove Raima's tweet when we can have those of other Bengali actresses of lesser countrywide fame. DebashisM 06:31, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

• I just got your "thanks". Anyway, a) yes, there are already 4 or 5 tweets, so, no more tweet in the section. One can replace one, but, no more addition b) those are selected tweets, every subject, every topic has multiple speakers, generally one or two are quoted randomly c) the section will be removed later specially if a free image of Ghosh's funeral procession is found! --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 06:37, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Ghosh's personal life

I got your note and having read a bunch of articles where his sexuality WAS mentioned, and since he is now dead, the standard for what we say about him on wikipedia is somewhat different than it would be for a living person. I recognise that he worked in an area of the world where sexuality and LGBT issues aren't often discussed. However, the question we editors should ask, discuss and think about is whether or not future readers of the English Language article here should KNOW about how he chose to self-identify. It seems he wanted to self-identify as not merely "gay" but Transgendered. There is a project for that and perhaps they should be brought into the discussion. I am open to all views. I would like to see a photo that represented Gosh as he was shortly before he died since he went to great lengths to alter his appearance. It would be like Lana Wachowski dying and no mention of her as Lana or  ? I'll just read and listen for a while. LiPollis (talk) 11:14, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

If you read Rituparno Ghosh#Death, it slightly touches the topic. I expanded and copyedited the whole article and asked User:Dwaipayanc to write on the above-mentioned part. Yesterday's Anandabazar and The Times of India had detailed coverages on it! Yes, that can be added and in my opinion, should be added! A new section on "Personal life" can be started! About image, it is difficult to get one, see if you get something in Bollywood Hungama! --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 11:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Right now I am one mobile device, and its very painstaking to add the sources in correct reference format, so kept that pending for later (or others). Regarding h2 level for personal life, other option could be to add this info within a section names Early and personal life.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

It is my opinion not to add unsourced content in that article right now, specially if it is sensitive information. About "Early life", I have not found any other information, about Personal life, you know I am reluctant to write there! It will be great if you prepare the section in the sandbox first. You can write in your and my sandbox with just giving the reference link, I'll format and ad later giving attribution! Do not take "editing in sandbox" in a wrong way. I too when edited those Filmography, Awards sections in sandbox! --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 15:19, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh?

Hi,TitoDutta what do you really want?BSF had 215 man?The link does not work.BDR had 17 it did not work,finally the source which is provided about causality says the BSF dead is 15,not 16.

You said me about unsourced change,is not the information given in info box is without source?

So what is the problem?Ovsek (talk) 14:35, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

& Your change was unsourced! The figures had source, and you suddenly changed to "unknown" without adding any source! --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 14:37, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

But is not that source that says BSF strength was 215 and BDR had 17 is dead?So it should be unknown. By the way the source is given in Causality information says BSF dead was 15 not 16.Ovsek (talk) 14:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

• Add space after punctuations! "Unknown" in infobox does not make sense. You can discuss at WT:INB --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 15:04, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

The source saying 215 and 17 is dead.How can we accept the dead link,we are no longer able to explain it,and for causality what about it?You always said to give source,now why you are not approving the source given in causality info box? If we cant give any good source about strength then we should exclude that completely.Ovsek (talk) 15:16, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

• Please add space after punctuation! Changing information because a source is dead is not acceptable. If you want to change information find new source! And if you want to exclude it, delete the information, don't replace with "unknown". When you say "unknown" in the infobox, it means, the number is not known! Can you understand? --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 15:25, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

So I am doing that,hope this not vandalism.I am deleting the strength information box.Also there are plenty of war articles without strength,"Unknown" thank you.Ovsek (talk) 15:29, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

• Why aren't you adding space after punctuations? In talk page it does not matter, but, in article, it'll be problematic! --Tito Dutta  (talk • contributions • email) 15:36, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Exclamation points

Hi. :) It appears that English may not be your primary language. For native speakers, exclamation points (!) tend to come off as unnecessarily aggressive in online communication, and thus are hardly used. I would encourage you to limit your usage of this punctuation mark to only those cases where you are really exclaiming something. Cheers. -Nathan Johnson (talk) 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
