National Commission for Protection of Child Rights

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://ncpcr.gov.in.

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.

WP India Tagging on new articles

Hi , Aravind V R, I just wanted to remind you not to forget to add the tag {{WP India}} the talk pages of India related articles that you create, actually i was browsing some of the Indian articles that were still untagged with {{WP India}}, and found that you had created them. Please note that this tagging helps a lot in improving the articles by attracting Indian editors to the article. At last i would request you to please consider patrolling the talk pages of articles for tagging it with {{WP India}}, keep up the good work, thanks and regards ---- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 08:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

• Hi DBigXray, this is in reference of your post on my talk page. I was unaware of that. I used to think it is the reviewers/patrolmen who do this tagging. Thanks for the info. I'll (try to) add the tag from now on. Aravind V R (talk) 08:16, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

• There is a difference between Tagging and assessment, it is very important for you to place the tag {{WP India}} for any india related article that you create or come across that does not have it already. -- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 08:20, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

• Yes, I understand. Thanks, once again.. Aravind V R (talk) 08:23, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

• what is your reply about patrolling the talk pages of articles for tagging it with {{WP India}}, ??-- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 08:27, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
• you should also learn to properly categorise and tag the articles that you create, if you have autopatrolled rights then they will not be patrolled by others and so they will be left un attedended, hope you got my point.

Misplaced Pages:NPP#Patroller_checklists IS a good place to understand what basic things to check and include in your newly created article -- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 08:34, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

• Actually till now I wasn't much concerned about wikifying stuff since I wasn't that regular and didn't have autopatrolling rights. But yesterday I applied for autopatrolling rights and I plan to be more regular in this. I am aware that much of the talkpages for articles I created might not have been tagged. But some important work is coming up for me in the next few weeks. After that I can do the tagging. Aravind V R (talk) 08:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Copyright - National Commission for Protection of Child Rights

Hi, I noticed you removed the suspected copyright violation tag from National Commission for Protection of Child Rights with an edit summary indicating you dispute it. There is a chunk of text that is clearly copied from an Indian Gov't domain, is there some provision of Indian law that would make copying the text not be copyright violation? Monty₈₄₅ 02:07, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

I have responded to that here. The intro contains some basic facts regarding the commission viz, the act behind it date of enactment etc. It is the definition given to the commission by the government. Wouldn't it be wrong to write it in my own words? As you can see the rest of the article is in my own words. I'm copying this discussion to the talk page in case anyone else has the same concern.

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_National_Institutes_in_India. Thank you. Please also refrain from personal attacks on editors who disagree with your opinions. Panyd 12:10, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Misplaced Pages's help system.

Narendra Modi

Hi, just letting you know that I have reverted your addition of Category:2002 Gujarat riots to the above-mentioned article since the category refers to an event or series of incidents which happened in the past, while the page Narendra Modi is a biography of an individual. Hence the category does not qualify for inclusion on that page. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 19:12, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

There is no such rule against including a biography to category of an event. You can search and find any number of such instances in wiki. For instance Category:1984 anti-Sikh riots -- Aravind V R (talk) 19:23, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Please review WP:BLPCAT. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 19:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Do you really think that I hadn't read this? The limitation is mainly against "Categories regarding religious beliefs or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified" and adding under groups such as Criminals which are defamatory. This particular category is concerned with an event and every person associated with it are included (even the then DGP Sreekumar). Aravind V R (talk) 20:00, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I think you need to go and have a look again. This category does not pertain to the notability of the individual concerned. He is notable as the chief minister of Gujarat and not because of the incidents of violence in the state. There have been no convictions or rulings with reference to his alleged involvement in the incidents of violence either.

A general principle on Misplaced Pages is that policy and guideline pages are intended to be descriptive, not prescriptive and therefore they must be read in context.

"Caution should be used with categories that suggest a person has a poor reputation (see false light). For example, Category:Criminals and its subcategories should only be added for an incident that is relevant to the person's notability; the incident was published by reliable third-party sources; the subject was convicted; and the conviction was not overturned on appeal." (emphasis mine)

For instance, the biography of George W. Bush does not include categories with references to Iraq War, or for that matter, the biography of Indira Gandhi does not contain category references to 1984 Anti-Sikh riots. Please use caution while editing biographies of living people. Thanks. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 20:26, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of National Competition Policy (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 National Competition Policy (India) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Tgeairn (talk) 06:10, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Katyn massacre

Hello. I undid this edit of yours without much of an edit summary for the following reasons: 1) You changed just one sentence of the article into a "the Nazis did it" statement, whereas the entire article details the "NKVD did it" one. This makes no sense, as you'd have to completely rewrite the article to reflect the change. 2) You also added Stalin's personal correspondence with Churchill to support your change, which doesn't make sense either, since it's a) a primary source and b) a statement by one of the main perpetrators of the massacre (bit of a conflict of interest there). 3) To top it all off, you claimed that the edited sentence is "fascist propaganda", which is incorrect, since the Nazis did not know about the other two execution sites, which were discovered only when the primary documents pertaining to the massacre were declassified in 1992. Because of all that I assumed this was obvious drive by trolling. However, judging by your user page and edit history, your edit was prompted by lack of knowledge of subject matter, hence this longer response. You are welcome to further alleviate the lack of knowledge by reading past the first few sentences of the article as well as examining the wealth of provided sources. Hope this helps. --illythr (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
