Proposed change to party leadership categories

There's a discussion about Category:Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and Category:Indian National Congress leaders that started 16th October at --Mereda 14:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 15:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations

You have a wonderful, well-organized project. I'm the coordinator of the medicine project. Could I steal your Collaboration opportunities and the Collaboration Dashboard. Magic ideas. :) NCurse _work 20:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I think there is no need to ask for it. All the texts are provided under GFDL license. Anyways the ultimate aim of the WikiProject is to improve the encyclopedia content. If it is good for that project it would be a little help to the medicine project from my side :) Shyam 21:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Misplaced Pages Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Integral humanism

The talk page of Integral humanism mentions the (stub) article to be maintained by this project. It appears to me that it could well be a self-promoting article (promoting linked and seemingly dubious sites), hardly more than a hoax, that should be deleted. Else it needs some reliable sources that prove the title to be genuinely notable. Before putting it up for deletion, I suggest members of this Indian politics project to have a look and if it is worth keeping, make a few essential improvements. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 15 Jan2007 08:46 (UTC)

Yes, I do agree with you. I will work out on those politician pages as time permits. So please do not nominate them for deletion. Shyam 18:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Its notable in Hindu circles and in conservative hindu parties like the BJP. Its not well-known but hardly a hoax. Deendayal Upadhyaya is quite an important figure in Hindu politics.Bakaman 02:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Expert review: MCA 21 Project

As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether MCA 21 Project is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 13:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Comments requested at RfC for Sonia Gandhi page

Hi, I would request memebers of the POI wikiproject to give their opinion over the content of the Sonia Gandhi page at this RfC. I hope this is an appropropriate place for making such a request. Many thanks. ReluctantPhilosopher (talk) 16:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:INDIA Tagging with TinucherianBot

TinucherianBot can automatically tag articles with {{WP India}} Banner as {{WP India|class=|importance=}} to the talk page of articles without the project banner. It can also add the workgroup paramaters like "|kerala=yes|kerala-importance=" etc ,if needed. The currently supported workgroups are Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Bengal, Goa, Himachal Pradesh , Karnataka , Punjab,cities, Cinema, Literature, Protected Areas of India, History, Politics, states, Geography,Maps,Districts and Tamil.

If you need so, you need to provide me with the Categories to run the Bot. Due to some technical issues, the Bot will not run recursively to sub-categories. The requester should kindly verify that there are NO non-related articles in the category.
You may request for the bot run on my talk page... Thanks -- TinuCherian - 06:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

can you run the bot on the LS constituency pages? or maybe, wait till the last 3 are done. Lihaas (talk) 22:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Watchlists

To help this workgroup patrol existing articles for vandalism/recent changes, Ganeshbot has created the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Indian politics/Articles page. This page will be updated on a regular basis. Please do remind me if I forget. :) It contains articles that were tagged with the India banner and fall under the scope of this workgroup. Please let me know in case of any questions. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 11:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup listings

User:WolterBot has created a Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Indian politics/Cleanup listing page; it contains the articles that fall under the scope this workgroup and have cleanup tags on them. See this page for more information on this works. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 04:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Misplaced Pages 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Misplaced Pages 1.0 scheme!

Misplaced Pages 0.7 articles have been selected for Indian politics

Misplaced Pages 0.7 is a collection of English Misplaced Pages articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Misplaced Pages:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Misplaced Pages:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

GA reassessment of P. V. Narasimha Rao

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. As it fails many aspects of the GA criteria I have de-listed it. When the issues have been fixed, it can be renominated at WP:GAN. If you disagree with the reassessment you may ask for a community reassessment at WP:GAR. You can see the concerns at Talk:P. V. Narasimha Rao/GA1. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:43, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Indian politics/Archive 2/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Indian politics/Archive 2/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 00:47, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

FAR

I have nominated Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll) 01:45, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Indian politics/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 37 articles to be referenced, a 5.1% reduction from last week. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Indian politics articles have been selected for the Misplaced Pages 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Misplaced Pages articles selected by the Misplaced Pages 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Indian politics articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Misplaced Pages for Schools to extend the reach of Misplaced Pages worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Getting Mafia Raj to GA status

I was reading up on the Mafia Raj article, and I must say the article is certainly well-written. The prose is good, everything is referenced; I do feel it is worthy of GA status. Perhaps this WikiProject can do something about this? Of course, it will be a good idea to add some context sections, such as 'Background' and 'History' to make the article even more comprehensive and all-rounded. FA shouldn't be too far off either. Just some comments for an outsider. Cheers, ANGCHENRUI ♨ 12:40, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject cleanup listing

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 21:21, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kamraj Desiya Congress

The article Kamraj Desiya Congress has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references finds only a single very minor published (gBooks) reference to the subject, fails WP:V and WP:N

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Edit-warring at Ram Rahim Singh

I'm not an expert on the subject, but there has been a lot of reverting going on at this article for the last few weeks. If anyone with knowledge of the topic would care to look over the article and comment on the talk page, I would appreciate it. —Torchiest _edits 01:52, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Punjab Politics

Is this group still active? I'm interested in helping out with any articles related to Punjab Politics, I have good knowledge on the matter. Gsingh (talk) 22:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Indian politics will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Indian politics. We've created an event page on English Misplaced Pages (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 21:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Name of the Article Basic Structure

Name of this Article should not be just Basic Structure, as just the words basic structure are not in any way related to the Basic Structure Doctrine followed in respect to constitution of India. --Alok Bansal (talk) 07:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Article is moved to a new name, "Basic structure doctrine (Constitution of India)", as per the discussion in the Noticeboard for India related topics. Alok Bansal (talk) 21:32, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Tag and Assess 2012

The Tag & Assess Drive 2012 has been devised for pending backlog in WP India to achieve

• Quality assessments for unassessed WP India articles.
• Adding importance missed during previous assessment.
• Bringing more articles into the scope of the project and subject them to assessment.

So far 8706 assessments (including quality and importance) have been performed in a span of 10 days. The drive is still open and we encourage participants from WP Indian Politics to enroll themselves. WP Indian politics is one of the daughter projects having huge assessement backlog. The participation would be very much appreciated - thanks in advance.
