Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Some bubble tea for you!

The red heart at the top of user pages make you able to give some wiki love. It can be food, barnstars, kitten or even your own design. When the food thing started I do not know. Probably pretty early just like the barnstar thing started pretty early. I thought this was an easier answer to show you instead of posting back at the teahouse.

I know that a page can be created if it meets notability standards . But as I am a new user I am not aware of every rules . Can I find anybody who can create page for me . I can give him references. Its upto him how he creates and designs the page. Pallavi Purakayastha Murder Case was widely discussed in Indian media . Every details of the case was published in almost all leading newspapers and all English and Hindi news channels gave huge coverage to the murder case . There were lots of weekend columns where female writers discussed about safety of women in India after Pallavi was murdered by her watchman . As it happened in a posh locality and the witness was also dead due to natural reasons , the case got coverage . Even the conviction , sentence of the accused got coverage after few years of the murder. I am 100% confident that there must be a Wiki page about this Murder.--CosmicEmperor (talk) 10:16, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi CosmicEmperor, if you want to create an article about this murder case, I would highly suggest going through the Article Wizard. This will create a draft, which will be reviewed by other Wikipedians to ensure that it is a high-quality article. It will also not be deleted unless there are copyright violations. If you do not want to write the article yourself, then I suggest going to the Requested Articles page, where you can put your references and the reason why you think it should be written. A volunteer may decide to write the article if it looks promising. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, the IRC channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

POTD template

It looks like it's updating. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache? Adam Cuerden 13:20, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Adam Cuerden Actually if you check my User Page revision History The Herald helped a bit by doing this https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User%3ACosmicEmperor&diff=653124662&oldid=653110724

@Adam Cuerden:As I had posted a help question here after that The Herald changed the capital P to small p.Cosmic Emperor (talk) 13:33, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Fair enough! If there's more issues, let me know. Preferably while it's still showing the wrong day. Adam Cuerden 15:49, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

I started using Twinkle , and now there is Huggle and stiki. Can I use them ? How?. Is there any other softwares like Twinkle that I need to know?

I can't use bots right now(it's for administrators)--Cosmic Emperor (talk) 13:45, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Huggle requires the Rollback user right, which you currently do not have. STiki similarly requires Rollback, at least 1000 edits to articles (not including talk pages; you're at 107 right now) or a special permission requested on that tool's talk page, and I rather don't expect you would be considered experienced enough for such a special permission right now. What would you need those tools for?

Bots aren't just for admins, but they require approval for specific tasks by the Bot Approvals Group. What kind of bot do you think is Misplaced Pages missing right now?

On an unrelated note, please don't make the {{help me}} template the section heading; it doesn't really work that way. Compare the seventh entry in the table of contents of this old revision of this page. You can add it immediately below the section heading instead. Huon (talk) 14:21, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, CosmicEmperor. I noticed here that your signature is extremely lengthy and that it contains images. While I appreciate the creativity, I need to ask you to please remove the images and reduce it to something that meets the guidelines. Thank you ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:14, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Masala Dosa

Looks fine to me. Cheers, Acroterion (talk) 11:49, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

@Acroterion: a redirect Masala Dosa already exists to Dosa . But I am sure Masala Dosa requires a separate page .--CosmicEmperor (talk) 11:58, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Then I'd suggest a little greater emphasis on the fact that it is a variation on dosa right up front. One could argue that it might be a subset of dosa, to be included there, but I think you have a case for a stand-alone article. I don't have enough experience of food-related topics to have a sense of how we determine whether a separate article is useful for a variation on a culinary theme.

Possible copyright issue on Image upload

Regarding: File:Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar harvard.jpg

Your rationale is "... The picture is too old and the copyright has expired..."

Do you know how old it is? Are you sure it is now in the public domain? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:26, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak:I found the date as 1938 here - http://www.nbi.dk/cgi-bin/search-nba?form=1&katAll=1&katS=on&mode=Search%20archive&search . the person who took the picture can be an unknown photographer who is completely forgotten .

Source is AIP is American Institute of Physics , and this is the page - http://www.aip.org/history/acap/biographies/bio.jsp?chandrasekhars

This is the policy for usage of that pic - https://photos.aip.org/use-policy --C E (talk) 08:48, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. I asked a few folks at the IRC commons channel. They think it is likely PD because of no "Notice or Renewal", but not 100% sure. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Could use an opinion

Not sure about the references here (Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Peanut Butter Conspiracy Is Spreading) but would appreciate an opinion of keep or delete on this nationally charting album. TheGracefulSlick ( talk)

1987 Meerut Riots

The page i ceated 1987 Meerut Riots is constantly getting redirected to another page. I have written on talk page why i oppose the redirect. I want some administrator intervention to tell others to discuss on the talk page and reach a consensus before such redirects. I provided so many reliable reverences but I don't get it why Massacre of 350 people (including Hashimpura Massacre) is going to be a part of massacre of 42 people.--C E (talk) 05:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

It was redirected once. That's not "constantly". If it happens again, get dispute resolution or a third opinion instead of asking for an admin. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message.

While trying to give barnstars to others, I couldn't find teahouse barnstar in my list. But i saw that on other user's talk page. Or only tea house Hosts can give it?

You can find teahouse badges here. I would think that the status quo would be that only hosts give them, but don't let the status quo stop you!

Lots of featured articles have Notes above References. What is the difference between Notes and Reference section? Why can't I enter Notes anywhere? Do Notes exist only in featured articles?C E (talk) 17:23, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

The copyright holder has given me permission to use the image on Misplaced Pages. He wants me to send the link of wikipage, where i will use the image.

This is the printscreen of his E-mail.

https://en.wikipedia.org/File:Snapshot_of_permission_from_copyright_holder.jpg

And this is the image for which i asked his permission.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/abhinaba/9227097668/

So what should be my next step? --C E (talk) 08:52, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Do you have any proof of where you have sent the mail?

Yes https://en.wikipedia.org/File:SNAPSHOT_OF_SENT_MAIL.jpg @Acagastya: --C E (talk) 09:02, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Well, you may be aware of different licence for the media, isn't it? Ask the Author to write a comment to his/her photo, saying that he/she has released the photo in "XYZ" licence. Then you are all set to upload it. Once read this. Hope that helps.
aGastya  ✉ Dicere Aliquid :) 09:06, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Actually, there is a letter that the Author has to write. (Well this also works: especially for flickr). I will try to provide you the link to that letter format. Please wait.
aGastya  ✉ Dicere Aliquid :) 09:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Got it! For future, use this WP:CONSENT.

Blocked editors returning and being abusive on talk-pages - let me know if there are any more problems

Hi CosmicEmperor - revdel already done by @5 albert square:.

• This is in Punjabi language, yes? (I can only recognise it as Punjabi from the context and because it looks a bit like Hindi to me. And the only word written in Hindi I can recognise is भारत , and only because I've seen it so many times. Otherwise it's straight to Google Translate.)
• Which user do you mean? Please add them to the sock puppet investigation.

Notes

There is a lot to tell about notes: but consider reading WP:NOTES. It will give the answer you want.
