Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 17:25, 21 November 2006

Lostintherush is currently lost in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

If you are wondering why LostBot is going on adding {{WP India}} to many article talk pages, I have put in a FAQ section here. Please go through them to understand the rationale.

Please click here for my DYK collection. Current count = 16.

Bot claiming articles for India project

What's with the bot stamping every article with the slightest connection to India with the India project boxes? I don't think everything produced in India (such as Bollywood movies, or music, etc.) needs a nationalistic stamp. Zora 01:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Zora, Bollywood movies and Indian music are very much related to India. I don't understand why you call it a "slightest connection". These articles will later be tagged with the subgroups. For example, Bollywood articles with "cinema=yes" parameter. We do this so that we can generate statistics such as the one shown on the right. I suggest you read this FAQ. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 01:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not surprised Zora said something inflammatory like that. She accused me of perpetrating massacre, just for creating a couple of cats.Bakaman _Bakatalk 04:26, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I have put a link to the FAQ right at the top to explain the rationale in detail. -- Lost 07:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Ha, our trusty soon-to-be-admin is blocked. Bad luck, mate - I'll see if I can annoy an admin in #wikipedia enough to have a look. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 05:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey thanks Daniel, since this is the only page I can edit, I am making merry here :) -- Lost 05:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Can lostbot tag Hinduism articles?

Can you have lostbot tag WP Hinduism and Hindu mythology articles for those projects?--D-Boy 06:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes I can. Give me a few days to complete WP India. Will get on with WP Hinduism. Also need to figure out if I need to ask permission from WP:BAG -- Lost 06:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

On the matter, once you've done the above, any chance I could get you to tag some of the articles related to A-League player profiles. If so, I'll give you instructions on what specifically has to be done. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 08:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Definitely. Do let me know what needs to be done. I think I will need a blanket approval from WP:BAG. Right now, I have taken permission only for {{WP India}}. -- Lost

Re: Help needed!!

I responded to your query that you placed on my talk page. My response can be found here. Feel free to post any further comments on my talk page, and I'll respond to you as soon as possible. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:42, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

thanks!

Hi Lost - many thanks for your kind gift. I've been feeling a bit over-rated as far as barnstars go, but I'm indescribably happy at knowing that people value my work and see me as a friend. Thanks again - when you get your mop/bucket, don't miss a single spot anywhre! We demand a squeaky, shiny floor. Rama's arrow 16:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Nirav, u deserve them all the way.. As far as the mop goes, well Abhi Dilli Door Hai:) -- Lost 16:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh I caught a red link there. Got to report this to WikiProject Indian Cinema! -- Lost 16:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

New to Misplaced Pages

Hi Lost, I am somewhat new to wikipedia. I created one user account and you put a toolbox on talk page of that account. Without doing much edits, I abonded that user account. Now with new user account i.e. Pruthvi I have contributed in few articles. I hope to keep this account permanently. I wish if you can tell me the template, which gives easy access to links for new comer. pruthvi 00:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Lost, There is an dublicate article created to Sachiya Mata Temple with name Sachiya Mata. What required is this, move the Sachiya Mata Temple article to Sachiya Mata. What should I do? pruthvi 15:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that your bot has marked this article as relevant to the India project, and I think this may be a mistake. As far as I can see, there is no connection at all with India. Deb 21:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Corrected, sorry and thanks -- Lost 05:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support!

Help on possible DYK article

I know you may be a bit busy with the mop, but can you spare a few minutes to look at Pamheiba ? I'm planning on rolling a large list of Manipur related articles after this nonsesne is over. I'm creating another article in my user space for Bhagya ChandraBakaman _Bakatalk 02:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Congrats!

Welcome to the cabal! Wield the mop efficiently! And thanks for your wishes :-) --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 11:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

re: Thanks

Hi Lost. That was such a simple motivation and you attribute so much to that! (I really like the people who acknowledge small random acts of kindness as those are what keeps the Wiki growing.) The mop is in well-deserving hands. You'll do well. Cheers. -- Sundar 14:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Bhadanji, your exceptional newcomer has become an admin!! Thanks a lot for your support and encouragement all along. Its been quite sometime since you were fully active here. Hope all is well and hope to see you in action soon! -- Lost 12:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I congratulate you on your achievement and wish you all the best! So many things are in mess here that I feel disgusted and disappointed and as such I have reduced my activity here as no one would like to waste time in foolish discussion. However, I am still hanging on and I am sure that the Project shall continue to improve and attain still higher levels. Moreover, I have some real life working commitments which have also forced me to reduce my presence here. I thank you for your concern and once again wish you all the best. --Bhadani 14:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Newbie Questions:

Dear Lost: Thanks for the welcome. Two Questions:

1. How do I indent in text?

2. When will Google pick up my new article? Thought they had bots that searched out new stuff almost instantaneously.

Need help moving Delhi Sealing Drive

Hi,

I've got some admin work for the new admin ;) The Delhi Sealing Drive needed a page move action to place it in the correct time context i.e. 2006. So I moved it to Delhi Sealing Drive, 2006 only to find later that there was already a redirect page with the title 2006 Delhi Sealing Drive. I feel, it would only be appropriate to move the page to the 2006 Delhi Sealing Drive title. Since there is already a redirect page with that title, this requires admin action. Thought, I'd leave it to you. Cheers. -- Chez 02:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Chez, I moved this for you. -- Ganeshk (talk) 02:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Request of assistance for vandal user behaviour by Khoikhoi

Could the administation and users take an independent look for the following reversal of useful and pertinent contributions at the Mustafa Kemal Ataturk site please? It is very difficult for me not to interpret the revision by Khoikhoi as disrespectful vandalism and disruptive behaviour. More I studied his log history at various article related to the Turkish subjects and prior bans for the same disruptive behaviour, more concerned I became. Could someone help revert the edits he damaged and request him to be more respectful to others' work? Thank you.

Your speedies

As you requested on Category talk:Candidates for speedy deletion, I've looked through the articles you deleted today. Aside from the deletion summaries that I mentioned earlier on the category talk page, they all looked correct. There's some followup that I do whenever I delete an article that wasn't done with several of these, though it's not strictly required:

• Particularly for speedies, check the article creator's contributions. Often you'll find other speedy candidates, or outright vandalism that needs reverting. This will also turn up images, which are almost never worth retaining; I tend to speedy images that have only ever been used on A7s (though strictly speaking they should go through WP:IFD), while images from G11'd articles can be deleted as spam themselves.
• Depending on the article, check its whatlinkshere. A7s in particular tend to be linked from disambiguation pages and the like, while G4s should have been orphaned as part of the AFD process. On the other hand, most copyvios and almost all test pages should keep their redlinks.
• Delete the talk page which you've just turned into a G8 by deleting its article. —Cryptic 21:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Note from Editor's Desk Welcome. It has been weeks and months since the idea of newsletter was mooted among the WikiProject India Community. This would be our first full-fledged edition of our Newsletter, and we'd like to start by saying we are very happy to have you among us. This is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips here. It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community. If you have received or given any barnstars recently, do let us know. Advertisements for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome. We'll run special sections, and recurring columns in the coming issues. This edition special Cartography Department (Shortcut:WP:INMAP): The Department of Cartography within the WikiProject India is a group of wikipedians who work on providing quality maps related to India. Their contributions gain more significance as we try to provide more information on places, districts and states of India. As a thumb rule, maps serve better if they are in SVG format. The location maps by the cartography department has helped us include location information based on latitudes and longitudes for a give place within India. The Indian Roadways map is a featured image, one amongst the few best road maps in the world. Still, there is more work to be done. There are 604 districts in India (see List of districts of India), and each district page needs a map of that district. You can help too. Contact the Cartography Department to learn how you can help in making the best maps in Misplaced Pages to be India-related! Signed... Edited by Chez and distributed by Lostintherush

Wrong cat

I noticed you removed the wrong cat from your talk page. Can you run through user talk pages on Category:WikiProject India newsletters and do the same? Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 19:29, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Help

Some admin deleted Rasa Lila (the religious celebration). I know there are two Rasa-Lila (the other being a Ras Lila (dance) a Manipuri dance) . Any chance you can undelete it so that I can start the religious celebration article over? See Special:Log/delete&page=Rasa_Lila.Bakaman _Bakatalk 20:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings! Thank you so much, Lostintherush, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 20:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Newsletter!

Hehe (blushes), somehow I missed it. Added my name to the list now. BTW, I thought of adding some more stuff on the left side of the newsletter before it is delivered, so that it would be bit symmetric. Anyway, that was a quick delivery. I guess we have to coordinate the delivery process next time. May be we could do on first Monday every month (or if we can make it twice a month, then first Monday every fortnight). The thing is, it should be regular. That's it for now. Once again, Kudos! -- Chez 01:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

DYK on new article

Hi Lost, I hope you're not busy. I've created a few articles yesterday - Madhu Sapre, Shwaas and Ratnakar Matkari. Of these, I have expanded Ratnakar Matkari quite a bit. Please, can you go through it to see if any intertesting fact can be put for DYK nomination. Thanx, in advance. And once again, congratz ! Keep rockin' --NRS | /_M\ 11:56, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

And yeah, I would like to work on a few articles to help them become FA status. Especially Shivaji & Indian rock which needs to be worked on a lot. --NRS | /_M\ 13:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

DYK

No, it's alright. I know, you've just become an admin and you certainly must be very busy. But I have nominated the article Ratnakar Matkari just now. I don't know if the wording, I've used, is proper though. Do take a look and make any changes if necessary. Bye, and keep rockin' --NRS | /_M\ 17:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Shiny new buttons

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired special powers, and there's even a feature to roll back time. With such awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to tread lightly to avoid causing irreversible damage and getting into any wheel wars. Thanks again and let me know whenever I can be of use. ~ trialsanderrors 06:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Lost, I am very delighted to hear from you regarding the above! Appreciate you going through the article and it's satisfying to see that it pass for an A. Nonetheless, this is no signal for complacency; there is plenty of room for improvement so that we can elevate this article to FA class.

RfA thanks

Thank you for the Support I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Lost, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, Martinp23 14:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support!

A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Misplaced Pages as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again!

Plug-in

Have not heard any news. I feel we don't need to wait for the plug-in. We should tag all the pages (geography ones too) with the generic India banner. When the plug-in supports us, we could do a fresh-run with it. Your thoughts? Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 02:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Imperialistic bot campaign

I removed the India and Hinduism ads from the Gautama Buddha article. I'm getting very upset by this imperialistic campaign to claim anything remotely related for India and Hinduism -- by bot, no less, without even communicating with the editors who usually work at the articles. When I calm down a little and have a spare moment, I'm going to raise this issue at the Community Portal policy discussion. Zora 17:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
