]

Anyone interested in beefing up ]? I found that a writer in The Hindu compared it to PRISM. It might be something that will come up in Indian politics.

I also made a request for a Hindi version of this article. Any editors who want to write articles about this in regional languages are welcome to do so.
] (]) 20:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
* It's now available in Hindi and Tamil ] (]) 14:00, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

== Jainism articles: Serious problem ==

There are 24 Tirthankars or founders of Jainism. ] just managed to delete and wipe out almost all of them from wikipedia. But wisdom dawned on admin ] and he restored all of them. Some copy-vio text was/is in articles and instead of re-wording he tagged them for speedy deletion. I have already complained so many times that the user keep removing contents, infoboxes, cats, templates, moving-redirecting pages. I seldom see him adding contents. I reported him on ANI 3 times but all admins remain silent. Only admin ] took lead in looking in matter. And Qwyrxian blamed me on his talkpage! Perhaps user was encouraged by comforting words of admin and today he went in full swing. Woo-hoo! He managed to wipe out almost entire rank of Jainism founders. ] (]) 19:04, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
:I only have time to make a very brief comment here. I assume you're referring to edits like ? Not only is that edit correct, it's actually '''mandatory'''. The information was copied, word for word, from the source. That's a ]--always against our rules, and usually ''illegal''. Reinserting copyrighted material can result in your account being blocked, Neo. Now, if you want to re-add the info, it would need to be re-written entirely. However, I'm fairly certain that said book isn't even a ] anyway, though I'd have to examine it to be sure. But no matter, what, copying directly from another source is absolutely forbidden, unless that source is in the public domain or CC-BY-SA licensed (and, even then, you need to explicitly state that the info is copied, using a special template). ] (]) 12:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
::I am referring to edits like . We don't tag articles for speedy deletion if we detect that some copy-vio text is included in article few years ago. We remove that text and rewrite if possible. But we don't delete articles of notable subject. TRJ had tagged 18 articles for deletion and they were deleted. To avoid another deletion by some admin I simply reverted his edits. Do you support deleting articles of notable subject because of some copyvio text in the article? If that's policy, pls give me link. ] (]) 08:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
:::I absolutely do. Copyright violations MUST be removed for legal reasons. If a stub is possible, then that is, of course, a better alternative, but getting the copyvio off the site is the first, most important task. ] (]) 09:55, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

::::If you "absolutely do" support deletion of articles because 'some' copyvio material was inserted at some time, then being a admin you should delete those articles first and then talk to me later. This states that if non-infringing material is on page that is worth saving then page should not be deleted. I am seeing that after removing copyvio text, articles like ], ], ] have at least 1 ref. Current policy does not support your assertion that what TRJ did was right. If I am wrong, I request other users to correct me. ] (]) 11:16, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

I'll take a decent look at it in a few hours, after I've recovered from my puzzlement and embarrassment! - ] (]) 17:38, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

:::It seems that Tito did some fancy footwork with organisation of the INCOTM nomination page and tripped me up. Anyway, I've now got back on my feet and see that ] has the most support. I wasn't aware that this process was basically a straight vote but that it how it is and so I've updated a couple of pages to indicate that this article is our Collaboration of the Month for July. Thanks to all who gave suggestions and indicated preferences - now let's collaborate! - ] (]) 21:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

== Recent major caste cleanups ==

I've been tackling a few more caste-cleanup articles as of late. If anyone is interested in the struggle thereof, wants to help refine a few of these or spot-check for accuracy, or watchlist them, your support is always appreciated. Here are a few I've worked on in the last week, often near-total rewrites:
*]
*]
*]/Viswakarma (this one has a huge spike in pageviews and IP involvement, I suspect an off-site campaign)
*] (including re-directing ] there)
*] (a once-Untouchable caste that has claimed Rajput and Kshatriya origin)

Again, my intent is not to "denigrate" groups by noting that their lofty origin stories are not credited by anyone but themselves. My intent is instead to show the complexity of these social situations, and their variations over time. And also to prevent the very frequent use of Misplaced Pages as a caste-advancement tool to "re-write" caste history for political and social advantage. ] (]) 21:48, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

:] has been a problem for years and spikes are common. You may not have noticed that it has existed under various names/POV forks etc. Right now, it is way longer than it would be if it were policy-compliant and it incorporates a lot of the stuff that was removed from other versions. I think that ] might have had a few iterations also. I've had both of these articles watchlisted under prior names but missed the redirects. - ] (]) 21:56, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

== Overcat in a template ==

] in categorised in both ] and ]. The monarchies category is a subcategory of the countries one, so we do not need both. Problem is, I can't spot where these two categories are being added to the article - it must be via one of the three templates on the page but I'm useless at template markup and cannot work out which is causing the issue. If someone can, please could they remove ] from it. I realise that this will affect a host of other articles also but an overcat is an overcat on any article. Thanks. - ] (]) 05:13, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
: ] is the root cause, but is fully protected, so can't edit. --] <sup> ] </sup> 06:14, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
::Maybe you can leave the |continent=Asia field empty. It will remove the category. But maybe it will add another general category. §§]§§ {]/]} 06:24, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Thanks, both. I've queried it at the template talk page using a link to this discussion. - ] (]) 06:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
::::Interesting choice of terminology - technically, kingdoms are not countries so the infobox should be "former kingdom" rather than "former country". --] <small>(])</small> 11:43, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
:::::I wondered about that, too. I could resolve the immediate problem by changing the infobox but the template would still seem to need some sort of work. - ] (]) 13:29, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

== Jainism: Peer review ==

Hello, I have listed the article Jainism for peer review. It is one of the ancient Indian religions. The peer review is at ]. Please do participate in the discussion. Thanks, ] (]) 17:19, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

== Finding original source for these Madiga caste images? ==

As so often is the case, I'm finding some good vintage photos of an Indian caste, but the only versions online are unattributed/uncited, and/or have an ugly watermark stamped on them by some person who's done no actual work other than simply scan an old book but still asserts some authority over an item.

In any case, ] could really use some images, do any of the images in this link look familiar to anyone, can you guess what book I might seek out that would contain these photos: http://mahadiga-channal.babelred.com/?counter=45 ? ] (]) 20:23, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

== Policy regarding article names of Indic origin ==

policy makes it clear that name used in more than 75% wider usage of english should be used. But this link is not given in ] and . Users like ] and ] misinterpret it as "scientific name used ony in reliable sources" and ignore the words common, wider usage or popular. Please see Rfc and discussion. In future someone may insert reliable sources in article ] which write 'Rama' as 'Rāma' and will move article to IAST name. So policy regarding articles names of Indic origin should be made absolutely clear. ] (]) 07:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
:Try to avoid IAST, if only because it makes it difficult for people with standard English-language keyboards to search an article for recurrence of a word or term. I made the mistake in one of my creations - ] - and I regret it. - ] (]) 10:04, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

::Every time I have to copy-paste these IAST alphabets. I think most of the wikipedia readers don't know how to type or pronounce IAST alphabets like ñāīśṇūṃēṣ. Sometime I just see boxes. Assuming that ALL english wikipedia readers have learned IAST language and ALL readers have right browsers to display IAST characters is wrong. BTW, perhaps you didn't notice, it is 'Mokṣa', not 'Moksa' and as I found more results for 'Moksha', so I proposed to change name to 'Moksha'. I think policy is already clear. We just need to include link in ]. Otherwise users will keep moving pages to IAST spellings. ] (]) 07:15, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

] and ] are among most important figures in Indian history. It is shame that even after 2000 years after their death we don't have their public domain images for articles. Users keep uploading non-free images and they gets deleted. One user pointed out that there should be public domain image on net. I did some hard search and found 1915 image of Chanakya and . As it is published before 1953, it is in public domain. I request users to verify this, especially to expert ]. But please make sure that we get public domain images of Chanakya and Chandragupta.

So far actual looks are concerned, it is impossible. We just give general idea of looks of historic figures. For example, Rama's looks varies in different pics but he is depicted with bow-arrow, dhoti, clean-shaved face, rather medium built body etc. So we can just give general idea of Chanakya's and Chandragupta's looks which are consistent with their biography and Indian culture. ] (]) 09:19, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mondipalayam

Notice

The article Mondipalayam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. The Bhavani taluk does not exist any more, and the Mylambadi subdivision does not exist. Unverified, run of the mill, very small village. Not enough information to merge.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 20:26, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Bearian Not sure if you saw the comment for the other proposed deletion of Gandhali, but looks like these villages articles may meet WP:NGEO. I am not quite clear after reading WP:NGEO, but I am guessing that they need to be kept and not deleted. Asteramellus (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
I can't emphasize enough that it's very important that you need to put in a source before it can be deprodded. If you insist, and want to be difficult, I'll take it to WP:AfD. Again, the easy-peasy approach is to add a reference. Thank you for improving this project. Bearian (talk) 01:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
@Bearian Oh I too support the proposed deletion for this page and other such minimally developed unsourced pages! But I was just highlighting what I saw & mentioned by the other editor regarding WP:NGEO. Asteramellus (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Srinivasa Higher Secondary School, Melaiyur

Notice

The article Srinivasa Higher Secondary School, Melaiyur has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL. Several searches with Google and sub-engines show nothing besides social media posts and Wikimapia, which both fail WP:SELFPUB. TL;DR, no sources, no notability.

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

P.S. So many PRODed article messages here. Sparkle and Fade edits 05:15, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

We Wikipedians are in the process of cleaning up a 15-year backlog of unsourced and unimproved articles. I plan to take a two-week break over the Christmas holidays, but I'm still volunteering on my birthday. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Left unsaid is that many of the single purpose accounts who created these articles and pages are no longer volunteering. It's an excellent example of Brandolini's law. Bearian (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

More eyes at Zakir Hussain please

See my note regarding the page protection. Would be good if some experienced editors could add the article to their watchlist. Abecedare (talk) 19:03, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Done, also welcome back! @Abecedare:. - Ratnahastin (talk) 00:10, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Banajiga

Expert input needed please at Talk:Balija#Proposed merge of Banajiga into Balija, thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 16:10, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Nalloorkonam

I can't find any English language sources. Can you please help? Bearian (talk) 04:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

I didn't get any results searching on the indian census site. Searching for "konam" only gives 2 results, neither of which are in Tamil Nadu. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:53, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Bechar Bhadani

I'd be grateful for any pointers about the notability or otherwise of this Gujarati politician Bechar Bhadani. I came across the article during my general monitoring of unreferenced BLPs, and declined a BLPPROD on the basis that there was one source and a subsequent PROD on the basis that there were some potentially reasonable looking sources on the first page of a Google search. I will look into those a bit more, but if anyone had better knowledge of the subject and could give an informal "yeah, notable" or "no, almost certainly not notable" I would appreciate it (this is not an area of expertise for me!).
