Hey, Dharmadhyaksha, I just wanted to let you know that I've declined your F9 speedy deletion nomination of File:Bhaichung Mahuri.jpg. The source you cite is actually dated after the image was uploaded to Wikipedia, so it's very possible that the website copied the image from Wikipedia, not the other way around. If you have more conclusive evidence that the image was copied from another site to Wikipedia, let me know. Thanks! Writ Keeper⚇♔19:22, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mohan Joshi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Economic Times (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Take a step back and enjoy a cuppa. I know that I do not always practise what I preach but, hey, you're a better person than me. Best. Sitush (talk) 08:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: Pamela Yash Chopra
I did not realize she has got some notability. A quick search yeilded her identity just as the spouse of Yash Chopra. However, given the data you presented, she seems to meet notability criteria.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Taare Zameen Par
Hello, you participated in a move discussion for Taare Zameen Par. A similar discussion has arisen regarding the article's lead. If you don't mind, could you please give your opinion on the matter? Thanks. Ωphois15:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
I've reverted your edit here, though replaced Pamela Chopra.
Links to disambiguation pages are supposed to be made using the redirect from "... (disambiguation)". This means that we can then check for accidental links to disambiguation pages, because the intentional ones will all be easily identifiable. So your "cleanup" was well-intentioned but wrong. Happy Editing! PamD08:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
You'd also added P Chopra to the wrong place in the alphabetical order, after P Crossley! Please take care. Thanks. PamD08:34, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
All changes to that FA needs to be discussed on its talk page. So make a proposed text and submit it there. Other experienced editors will help you and then you may add it to the article. I guess such empty separate section with a simple link would be deleted very soon. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:15, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
On 26 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Meenakshi Shirodkar, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi AK/DD. Just noticed your message at the top of this page. Clearly I missed something and have no clue what this is all about but don't let whatever it was get you down. Wikipedia can be a bit bipolar at times and it is not worth letting it get to you. I would personally hate to not see your comments on various India related discussions! --regentspark (comment) 18:52, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi RP! Not to worry. I am still not quitting editing, just changing role, moving out of futile discussions and unnecessary fights. No one specific event triggered it. So now i edit article, but if reverted i don't care. I don't fight petty vandalism. But i get to create various articles now with that all saved time. Happy with that. And as to comments on various issues... there are others to do that. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:38, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Please help on the article Rathakalpana. The topic is mentioned in Kathopanishad and Bhagavat Gita, but i think it has more scope as an independent article. There are many modern theories based on this, along with our ancient concepts on yogasuthras and mind-body co-ordinations. Please help finding sources and developing the topic. bc-ndra (talk) 15:19, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for all your help in identifying copyright violations and sockpuppetry on Indian television and movie articles. These are quite thankless and eternal tasks, and it's great that you've been able to contribute to mitigating the problems. I just wanted you to know that your efforts have not gone unappreciated.
On 11 February 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mai (2013 film), which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi. Can you offer your opinion on which photo is more appropriate for the Infobox in the Scott Allie article in this discussion? You don't need to know anything about Allie; I'm contacting you because you've worked on Featured Pictures. I tried contacting lots of editors who work on comics-related articles, but every time I do so, we wind up with the sentiments split down the middle, and no clear consensus. I'm thinking perhaps that people who work on matters dealing with photography might be able to offer viewpoints that yield a consensus. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 15:33, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, From what you have said on your own page perhaps you would rather not get another message but your work on the Rani's article has improved it, especially the new statue picture with the Rani and her son. Since it is in Commons it will be easy to include it in WP articles in other languages.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 03:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
It has become much better since the version of September 2012; it needs some work by an editor able to consult the most relevant books. However the account by Allen Copsey includes information about the different views of their authors and Michael Edwardes based his book Red Year on both British and Indian sources unlike the earlier British writers on the subject.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 22:56, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

On 28 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Saptashrungi, which you created or substantially expanded.

if it was U who reviewed Mughal-e-Azam for making it GA, I think u missed one thing: this source [1] which is used over 20 times in the article has the original source in the archive slot instead of the archived version. if u don't understand me, pls see any past revisions of the article (preferably post-GA version).

Hm. I've just read your collapsed box above. I hope that the query above is (a) suitably brief and (b) 21st- rather than 16th-century in style. <g> Chin up! - Sitush (talk) 18:35, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
No problem... i don't mind answering this one. I think they both refer to same names... just variations in pronunciation as well as spelling both in English/Indian language. If you see Help:IPA for Hindi and Urdu, there are small variations in "n", "ɳ" and "ŋ" and also "d̪", "d̪ʱ", "ɖ" and "ɖʱ". Our word over here hence has many combinations and permutations. We have an article on Karishma Randhawa who i see is quite widely being referred to as Randeva also in many fan forums. But this one case shouldn't make it a rule. There are chances that they are actually different. Its mostly like Chaudhary, Chowdhary, Chaudhari, Chowdhury, etc. where spellings have mostly changed per region or simply personal choice. I don't think one can distinguish these also easily now. Another simpler example would be "Chauhan", which is the way it is used in Norther India, especially Rajasthan. (You must have come across it in your Rajput cleanups.) "Chavan" on the other hand is quite popular surname in Maharashtra. They probably are father and son (not respectively), but you notice that a person not so keen about language or just by habit may interchange these two. I don't think this has been of any good help... but i guess no one can be in this case. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:49, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
You have hit the nail on the head there. Someone claiming to be Karishma Randhawa/Randeva has contacted me asking for that article to be renamed. I did some research and while Randeva is used quite a lot in the context of her, Randhawa is much, much more frequently used in English sources on Google. There might still be scope for sidestepping the basic requirements of WP:COMMONNAME (BLP has all sorts of implications, for example) but I really need to understand the motives for requesting the change. I have asked her if she is willing to explain those reasons to me, privately if necessary.
Your explanation has been of immense help, thanks. Aside from elaborating on the general issues of transliteration etc, it eliminates some basic reasons why she might want the title to be changed (eg: because she has legally changed her name). Great stuff, and much appreciated. - Sitush (talk) 16:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dharmadhyaksha, I want to change the sources (dead links) of the awards sections with links that work but the only link for BJFA awards I find is gomolo. I also don't know where it is a reliable source. Do you know whether it is a reliable source and can be used in the article? Tolly4bolly19:17, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Gomolo is not considered as the best source. But it has been used many a times for verifying some facts. Depends on what kind of article it is. If its something like Pran's biography (published especially after his win of DPA) then i wouldn't consider that as the best source. There are chances that Wikipedia itself has been their source. You see, until now Yamla Jat was a 1945 film per our article. And thats why it appears so in Times of India's print edition of 13th April. In case the gomolo article is a list of winners of that year, we can have that as a reference for sure. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:52, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

All of it, against me and the other editor. You are implying bias on our part against editors from a particular location. Such wholly unfounded accusations are covered by the first section of WP:WIAPA. Leaky Caldron12:37, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
And it wasn't me who at first linked editors with their country wise editing preferences. (Also note that i did not imply you were biased against editors of a particular location. That's quite different than what i said.) §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:28, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I have made no association between editors and their country of origin. My single reference to nationality was "The entire subject is notable and you being in the huff because your article about the death of an Indian politician being deleted plays no part in the decision on the title of this subject." An editor had asked about "a recent politician in India whose funeral was one of the biggest in recent history, Mumbai a city of ten million and the state of Maharashtra (100 million) ground to a halt while the body lay in repose, yet Wikipedia considered that the event wasn't notable enough for a separate article. I was wondering why the death of Thatcher and the funeral is notable to have an article of its own? The article was created and the Afd decided that it be deleted. Oh a seven km long cortege isn't notable?" I answered that the manner in which the WP:GNG policy applied to the Thatcher article was appropriate. You said "Well.... your dear friend Leaky Caldron has already made it sufficiently clear above that the inflow of India-related editors is because of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death of Bal Thackeray. By saying it again and again are your propaganda techniques based on Big Lie? And is it that you don't wish India-related editors or any non-Britain-related editors to voice their opinion here?" That is a clear accusation of nationality-based bias. I suggest you examine your inaccurate, fact twisting denial above and admit that you have made wholly unsubstantiated and bad faith claims. Leaky Caldron10:52, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I never said that you associated editors with countries. I have said, "it wasn't me who at first linked editors with their country". §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:15, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Nor was it me. Your dishonest misrepresentation of your own statement, which I have highlighted above, is reprehensible. You are an editor to avoid.

Well calling the comment of other editors as crap and threatening me by saying I suggest you keep out of it is all you have got? I am sure you can do better. Even a child can see that you are the first person to make comments about nationality(I am not saying that there anything wrong with your comment) The entire subject is notable and you being in the huff because your article about the death of an Indian politician being deleted plays no part in the decision on the title of this subject. Leaky Caldron 15:01, 19 April 2013 (UTC)(emphasis added) and Dharmadhyaksha just stated what you said also it would be dishonest to miss the comments that were made by other editors before Dharmadhyaksha's comment. An editor said I did not explicitly say so above. Note that User:Yogesh Khandke appears to have been canvassing opinion, including requesting a fellow editor AfD this article to which DD replied Note the dates. That discussion was a few days before the day this move was requested. If deletion was intentions, which logically can not be achieved with a move request, a move request would never have been made. Putting such irrelevant notes is playing foul..There was again a comment from the other editor It strikes me as odd the amount of people who are coming here to !vote whose main interest is in Indian subjects(emphasis added) to which DD replied Well.... your dear friend Leaky Caldron has already made it sufficiently clear above that the inflow of India-related editors is because of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death of Bal Thackeray. By saying it again and again are your propaganda techniques based on Big Lie? And is it that you don't wish India-related editors or any non-Britain-related editors to voice their opinion here?. I hope you have read those comments and you deliberately did not miss them. --sarvajna (talk) 17:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
I made an accurate comment about the nationality of a dead Indian politician who's article was deleted. That in no way amounts to making a reference about the nationality of particular editors or the "inflow of India-related editors" to the Thatcher article. I have made no such inference, insinuation or statement. You've picked on the wrong editor to make false claims of racist behaviour I'm afraid. Again, I suggest YOU keep out of it since my dispute is with the talk page user and your constant interference is as annoying as it is unhelpful. Leaky Caldron17:17, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
(edit conflict)If you feel that i should be avoided then please do that. I am not overly delighted to converse with you either. Sarvajna; thanks; has now put down all points in front of you. If you still fail to comprehend any substance from them, i don't think me talking more on it will help you. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:22, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
You have completely failed to justify this remark: "Well.... your dear friend Leaky Caldron has already made it sufficiently clear above that the inflow of India-related editors is because of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death of Bal Thackeray.". Unfortunately the discussion about moving the Thatcher article has been closed otherwise I would have struck your disgraceful remark using (Personal attack removed). Your friend is as bad as you, dishonest and evasive. Leaky Caldron17:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
What the hell is racist about that? Your failure to comprehend simple statements has left me nothing much to say here. Dishonest, crap,evasive. Grand show of civility --sarvajna (talk) 17:44, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Well, you got it wrong about Bal Thackeray, you got it wrong about whether the Thatcher article was needed and you got it wrong about renaming it so making wrong assertions about editors with whom you disagree is hardly a surprise I suppose. Leaky Caldron18:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I must say that I am very disappointed by your GAR which indicates that you have no desire to work with the article writer but against him. I can't help but think you're doing this out of spite for what this editor has said to Gleek Vampire which is very childish indeed. It seems to me you saw Prashant's attack on Gleek's work so you've decided to return the attack on his out of spite, the timing is clearly not a coincidence and I see you've also put 7 Khoon Maaf up for GAR. I'm sick and tired of the ill feeling between you all. You've let the Indian cinema work group down, all of you by your refusal to work together to improve things and self support each other. You could have quite easily mentioned the points for improvement on the talk page without taking it to GAR.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld16:01, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
I also agree, it is quite tiring. That was not my fault that Gleek passed that GA. I don't know. If you can reasses then, make a particular Criteria for Reviewers and tell them that only experienced editors should grab articles to review. It was not my fault that he chose to review my article. He also passed Freida Pinto, I'm sure that article is also, was easily passed but, why you didn't reassessed that one. Why not Imran Khan? Its is tiring....i worked day and night on the article. I don't want to listen any excuse. Comments on Imran Khan, not reassesment. But, on my article you reassesed all, why not you came on talk page. This shows your biasness and hypocrisy. No. Please delete all reassesments for god sake.Prashanttalk17:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
(edit conflict)Oh please... i don't follow these guys talk pages at all. I am sincerely of the opinion that GA quality of this project is degrading day by day. 2 weeks back i posted similar comments on Imran Khan (actor)'s talk page post its GA. After Kareena Kapoor became FA, some non-INCINE editors posted a huge list of changes on it's talk page. The article did not even mention that she has a wax statue; countable few Bollywood people fall in that class and our "FA" didn't mention it. I don't care who nominates these articles and who reviews it. I don't care if they team up together and clear each other's articles or team up against each others and trash it. And i also don't consider my comments as something against the project but more inclining to the betterment of it. If you think my points in GAR are wrong, you may point them out there and i am always open to consider your counter opinions. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:33, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Who are you to consider our question. I'm not interested in any GAR. This shows your hypocrisy and I know who or how many told you do this. If you posted comments on IMRan Then why not on their talk page? Because you want to show your supremacy. You biased user, smell the coffee and look at the mirror. If you can't work on any Indian article , you don't have any right to do this. First, you should work on a stub, then you would know what hard work means. Huh..Prashanttalk17:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
(edit conflict)@Blofeld and Prashant: I don't like using templated warning related to Wikipedia:No personal attacks and thats why i won't be adding those on your talk pages. Also, you two, and probably others who plan to come charging on my talk page, should comment only on the content of the articles. No personal attacks, on me or on nominator or on reviewer are going to be helpful here. GAR stays open for many users to comment on. If majority of editors feel that this is the best we can make of these articles, it will remain so. If not, we will just have to wait for what they comment. Till then, keep calm, especially Prashant. This isn't the first event where you are turning violent. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:51, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Aah... Maybe they had a drive sometime to create articles on all people who have some minimum x number of films on their credit enlisted in IMDb. We have that kinda list somewhere. It never struck me to create an article on him. Also, with Marathi film/actors i have been overly cautious. They are lesser known and editors not familiar with subject are anyways happy to tag yellow labels of POV and notability. I now see that SD's article created by a newbie was rejected before.

Hi, Thank you for your recent inquiry about the racially censored theological articles on Wikipedia. The full text of the censored articles discussing the events at the formation of Christianity in the Temple of Jerusalem in AD 70 are below. It includes the original text and sources for the DYK Ascents of James article. I am a hunted man for leaking such information, but if you would like to un-censor it by reworking and reposting it yourself, you would have my thanks and also have assisted in bringing a bit of light to the theological dark age that this system is hell bent on maintaining. NigerJamesJesusChrist (talk) 16:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Ascents of James...
The Ascents of James is the conventional name given by scholars to a book believed to have been used by a JewishChristian sect in the Transjordan, written in Ancient Greek in the second century BC.[1]
Context
The Ascents is no longer in existence and all that remains of it is known from a few references found in a heresiology written by Epiphanius of Salamis known as the Panarion (Adv. haer. 30.16.6-9). The Recognitions of Clement also contains source documents (Rec. 1.27–71 & 1.33-71), conventionally referred to by scholars as the Ascents of James.[2]
Content
The Ascents discuss various topics and salute Jesus Christ's brother, James the Just instead of Saint Peter for starting the first Christian Church. It derogates Saint Paul as "the enemy" who stopped the whole Jewish population converting to Christianity. The narrative in the Clementine literature suggested to be related to the Ascents calls for the abolishment of the Jewish sacrifices substituting a Christian water baptism for the remission of sins. It gives a Jewish Christian discourse of the history of Israel from Abraham through the prophets to Christ and discusses the concept of pre-existence Christology in relation to the notion of the continuously re-appearing "True prophet" resembling Moses and the comparison with Jesus.
Ascents also discuss the meaning of the word "Christ" as a Jewish king, qualified by having been the first annointed with an oil taken from the wood of the Tree of life.
It does not discuss the death of James by stoning that was recorded by Flavius Josephus or Hegesippus who described him being taken to the "summit" of the temple in Jerusalem, stoned by pharisees and scribes and finally killed with a throw of a staff to the head. This has suggested he fell victim to some type of inter-Jewish conflict. In the Ascents, James climbs the steps of the temple with the twelve apostles and a "great multitude" to bare witness to the High Priest that Jesus was the true Christ.[3]
Original Black Madonna of Częstochowa
Niger of Peraea was a first century C.E. Jewish military commander, and governor of Idumaea.[4] He was one of three leaders in the attack on Ashkelon during the Jewish War.[5]
Attack on Ashkelon
The Romans invaded and took control of Ashkelon, a historic centre of the Essenes under a General Antonius. In December of 66 or January of 67 CE, three noble military commanders launched the largest offensive attack of the Jewish war against Antonius at Ashkelon. The attack on Ashkelon was made up of three waves of Jewish and Essene forces under three commanders. The first commander was John the Essene, who was a governor of North Judea, who attacked from the direction of Joppa. The second commander was Silas of Babylon, a highly ranked noble from Herod Agrippa II’s army who had deserted during the Great Rebellion and likely came from the Babylonian military colony of Batanea. Silas launched his attack from the east, from Judea. The third commander, Niger of Perea was a famed warrior and governor of Idumaea. An unusual name for a Jew that meant "black" or "dark skinned" that has now become a racial pejorative.[6] He attacked from the southeast, from Idumaea.[4]
The Roman commander Antonius was prepared for the assault and charged the Jewish infantry with Roman cavalry, the result was a massacre of ten thousand people, according to Josephus. John and Silas died in the first attack whilst Niger managed to escape with the wounded to a nearby town called Chaalis in Idumaea. Before their wounds could heal, Niger launched a second attack on Ashkelon resulting in another Roman ambush and the slaughter of eight thousand more Jews.[5]
Miraculous Escape
Niger however escaped a second time to retreat to a strong tower called Bezedek in another village. The Romans pursued Niger and set fire to the tower, burning it to the ground and presuming him dead. Niger had however leapt from the tower, broken both his legs and crawled away to a nearby cave, where he was found by friends three days later. This act soon became widely regarded as an act of God and Niger regarded as a messianic figure of divine intervention.[5]
Siege of Jerusalem and execution
Niger lived for another three years fighting Romans until the Siege of Jerusalem (70), when he was brutally tortured, dragged through the streets and killed by the Zealots, who he cursed with his last breath. Robert Eisenman has noted the numerous parallels between the death of Niger and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ saying "one can only bring to mind Jesus of the Gospels".[7] Another parallel to note is that with the death of Simon Magus in the gnostic literature from Nag Hammadi, who is described as levitating with the power of God in front of the Roman Emperor Nero. The apostle Peter prays and Simon falls to break his legs in three places. He is then taken away and tortured elsewhere.[8]
Hello! My enquiry was in no way related to racism/radicalism or whatever you are calling. It was just a curiosity to know why a DYK article was deleted. The admin had noted that it was deleted for "Creation by a blocked or banned user in violation of block or ban: see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Paul Bedson/Archive". I didn't even know what the article was like. In case you have complaints against this deletion of the article, please approach Wikipedia:Deletion review. I can't help you here as i have no knowledge of the subject. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 19:45, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
We have a better source that says he was 62 years old when he died. So he must be born in 1951/52 and not 1954. (I personally don't trust DNA either. But thats a newspaper and hence should be considered more reliable.) But good that you found the betterphotography link. It has good info. Will have to add it. I have few unused QPQs. But i don't see anything interesting worth a hook as of now in the article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
I have a doubt, that ToI has used the image I uploaded. I cropped Bollywood Hungama, they cropped me! That January 2013 Andheri wandering or one of most celebrated photographers of 1990s may have some potential as hook! --Tito Dutta (contact) 09:00, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Andheri wandering incident has a bad connotation and can't be used. Plus his daughter has said that the reports are false. Such likely untrue statements can't go on main pages. "Celebrated photographer" is a POV of the reporter, who himself isn't much notable for his penmanship. Its just like how every old celebrity is "veteran". Nothing interesting in it so far. And recently i have been strolling around on WP:TDYK and rejecting/commenting on such mediocre hooks. There are many editors who are of the opinion that such hooks are a reason why DYK section should be removed from main page. Adding one more to their example would only help their case stronger, which i personally wouldn't want. I like DYK more than any other section on main page. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
2.Narendra Modi is a patriot since childhood. During Indo-Pak war of 1965, Modi, as a 15 year old boy, volunteered to serve the soldiers in transit at the railway stations. Similarly, in 1967 at an age of 17 years, he served the flood affected people of Gujarat.

Hi Dharmadhyaksha, I see that you state that you don't do vandal fighting any longer - I respect that, because it is an eternal uphill battle and tends to sour the editing experience... I hope you don't mind me asking your input on something, though; if you don't want to comment, please ignore this message and remove it if you like, and accept my apologies for bringing you potentially unwanted commentary to your talk page. What I am wondering about is a possible new Shrik88music sock - Lionbase1234 (contributions). I don't want to start SPIs frivolously, and I really may be seeing similarities where none exists, so I would very much appreciate it if you would just cast a quick eye on their editing and let me know if I'm way off base here. But as I say, I respect your wish to stay out of some of the more unpleasant sides of Wikipedia, and I have felt rather discouraged by this particular sockpuppeteer in the past myself (which is why I dropped the previous SPI, which you later brought up, for which I thank you), so if you wish no involvement in this I completely understand. Sincerely, --bonadeacontributionstalk10:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
I will have to AFD it once the speedy is rejected. Also i chose Persecution article because if this article ever grows into something more than Gujarat violence, it will eventually become similar to persecution section. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 14:57, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This is a non administrator notification, and will be logged as such on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.
In case I am absent to raise these issues myself once that is on article space, I request you to quote these from here, I would like to point to the following things:
This term, "Pogrom" originates from 19th-century Tsarist Russia where it was first used to label attacks against Jewish civilians that were officially approved by the authorities but carried out by civilian mobs who acted with impunity while the police watched idly.
The pogrom thing, as of now, is mentioned in context of Gujarat. Now, there is no proof that it was formally instigated by the Gujarat authorities. Far from stoking violence, the authorities, in an attempt to quell the riot, actually declared a curfew immediately after the first signs of attack — and this was spelled out even in media reports. Thus, the police didn't sit back and watch idly.
In the aftermath a good many people (mostly Hindus) were punished (sentenced to life in prison). Hence, they weren't acting with "impunity".
Thus there were no "pogroms" against Muslims in India.
Oh, by the way, I saw your comment on 'Religious violence in India' the content about Vijayanagar sack is still missing from the article. The sources
Farooqui, Salma Ahmed. A Comprehensive History of Medieval India: From Twelfth to the Mid-Eighteenth Century. Pearson Education India. pp. 124–125. ISBN8131732029.

corroborate the claims. DS cited, "Hindu culture during and after Muslim rule: survival and subsequent challenges 1994 p43 Originally from Sewells A Forgotten Empire". However, he didn't even try to specify which part is the copy-vio and confirmed that "that really is all [he] can do". Nonetheless, majority of the removed content was inside quotation marks.

I am not in a position to comment on the content of the request because I lack the ability to see the books mentioned. They may be hagiographies, they may be impartial or they may be critiques. Given your tendency to appear pro-Modi, I'd guess that an admin might be cautious in accepting the request but I am no mind-reader. It is odd that no-one has commented for or against, so you might want to bump the thread; otherwise, I can only suggest that you list it at the link I mention above. Given the sheer volume of traffic on the page, perhaps people are not commenting for/against the proposal because they are just getting tired of dealing with relatively minor stuff. The entire thing is a war zone at present! - Sitush (talk) 11:32, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh, btw, I do know that Modi recently pulled his approval of a biography - it is mentioned somewhere in the archives. Is that biography one of the books that you have listed? It probably should be. - Sitush (talk) 11:34, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I don't have access to any of those books. I simply searched on Google and found these relevant to him and hence enlisted them.

Anti-Muslim pogroms in India
This is disruptive. The article is inherently biased starting from the name. It claims, "Anti-Muslim pogroms in India refer to pogroms carried out with the states tacit approval" who can really claim that where was it proved that it was a "pogrom"? Mr T(Talk?)(New thread?)16:40, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Are you guys seriously going to deny that the BJP use anti Muslim rhetoric on a regular basis? And deliberately foster this violence? And that these pogroms happen? Read the sources, then condemn those who do this. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:45, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
You created an article about Anti-Muslim violence and speak about BJP rhetoric? You should know that majority of violence occurred under congress rule. Also you seem written a lot of biased things on the article.-sarvajna (talk) 17:20, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
It occurred under congress rule as it was an electoral strategy by the BJP. What in the article is biased BTW? All is academically sourced and neutral so far as I can see. Ironic really, Mrt asked me to look at the Godra train burning article and here we are, now I am detested both sides of the LOC, best I stay in England. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:26, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
I am not sure if you really know this, BJP is almost non-existent in Assam, BJP formed the govt along with JD(U) in Bihar where Bhagalpur is situated only in 2005. BJP was power in Gujarat even before 2002 violence, they were actually in power since 1995 I guess. There had been no riots in Gujarat since last decade, probably the most peaceful decade in Gujarat.No riots in MP or Chhattisgarh. I feel that you should do some more research before coming to a conclusion. I will try to stay away from this article as much as possible, I have already been accused of being a paid agent :-(-sarvajna (talk) 17:47, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Hmm, a paid agent? I think not . The violence had tapered off for a while as the BJP had been going strong, when they were not they used the good old divide and conquer rule. That actually needs to be added to the article, I had forgotten it, but if you look through the sources you will see I am very accurate in following them. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
That article is rabble-rousing to the point of ridiculousness. The following articles Persecution of Muslims#India, Religious violence in India and 2002 Gujarat violence cover the topic in detail. A whole article based on allegations and propagandist assertion is nothing but disruptive. Who cares what "Christophe Jaffrelot" thinks or believes, he, or anybody for that matter, has not proved that the "riots" had official approval of the "Government", that's what "pogrom" implies.
I am not denying religious violence has always existed in India as a pestilence since the very inception of this civilization, but to label them as "pogroms" is grosslybiased. The article reels off many popular names of organizations and appends very derogatory claims behind them, based on what? Garbled assertions and twisted claims which, after a thorough scrutiny, prove to be patently false. It distorts many things. It omits the cause as well as the aftermath of the riots, the actions taken by the government altogether, why? I think it is so that the crimes seem more like "pogroms". Darkness Shines makes it seem the gujarat violence was a "pogrom"-thing as of now. There is no freaking proof that it was formally instigated by the Gujarat authorities. Far from stoking violence, the authorities, in an attempt to quell the riot, actually declared a curfew immediately after the first signs of attack — and this was spelled out even in media reports. Thus, the police didn't sit back and watch idly. In fact Modi has been exonerated by the SIT. In the aftermath of 2002 Gujarat violence a good many people (mostly Hindus) were punished (sentenced to life in prison). Hence, they weren't acting with "impunity".
"The destruction of the Babri Mosque by nationalists lead directly to the violence in 1992" (Bombay Riots) — how on earth is "Bombay Riots" a "pogrom" now? Nellie massacre, 1989 Bhagalpur violence are "pogroms" now? Did DS even read the target articles before adding them in this article? Just because some self-styled "author" doesn't know how to use some English words in right context or tremendously lacks basic knowledge of history, does it make every one of his radical claims true? That article is a POV-hellhole, and the language oooh it's pure seditiousness. Mr T(Talk?)(New thread?)06:36, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
It is discussions like this which make me believe that wikipedia is a waste of time. Something I have already know of course. But it is not something that happened overnight, it has always been like this, compare with this article on Google Groups alt.wikipedia groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/alt.politics.india/j9kEYaZ7DrQ --Cuffasofas (talk) 18:04, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Why?
I really don't know what has happened to you of late, Animesh, but you've changed from being a helpful, positive contributor to being someone who, well, isn't. And you've changed from doing good stuff on movies etc to doing somewhat more iffy stuff relating to right-wing/Hindutva politics. What you do and why is your affair, of course, but I'm sorry to see this development because it is likely to end in tears. I will say no more here but you have my email address if you want to use it. - Sitush (talk) 05:32, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
I am still helpful and positively contributing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Its you who cant see good stuff in my editing. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:45, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Well, I guess I tried. I'm sorry because you are going to find yourself blocked and even topic banned if you keep this up, especially when you start making unfounded insinuations about me and the admin corps: you've lost all sense of proportion and reason. As you are aware, the sanctions are wide-ranging and you should be aware that you are under the microscope. - Sitush (talk) 05:59, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
"I'm sorry because you are going to find yourself blocked and even topic banned if you keep this up" - why are you so vague, is that a threat? Why don't you look in the mirror, Sitush? What exactly did Dharma do to merit a topic ban or block? Stop this attitude. Mr T(Talk?)(New thread?)06:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
You'll likely find out why - it is out of my hands now. Life would be a lot better all round, Mrt, if you didn't feel the need to insert your own comments across quite so many talk page. Mine was a gesture of good faith based on knowledge of Animesh both on- and off-wiki but, of course, you go straight into accusatory mode. - Sitush (talk) 06:50, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
"Mine was a gesture of good faith based on knowledge of Animesh both on- and off-wiki" - do you know him in real life? In that case It would be preferable, I think, if you didn't mix the two. I am not the one who is accusing, it was an observation, or rather a query. You're habituated to threatening others, you've in past vilified, vituperated and threatened me too. It seems as though it's your habit. You already know how Dharma feels about you, yet you come here and threaten him with Blocks and Bans?? How amicable! Mr T(Talk?)(New thread?)07:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Dharma always remember you were, are and you will always be a good contributor if you are clear to your conscience and adhere to Wiki-policies. Don't let other people demotivate you or dictate you what you should or should not do. You're free person, not an intellectual slave of somebody. Mr T(Talk?)(New thread?)06:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
The line you refer to does come from that source. But the line is a quote with no attribution. So if Johnny Lever has said that line it would be our stupidity to use it. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:59, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
I don't know why they didn't add Google Books previews in that Anti-Muslim pogrom article, few more sources have similar issues. But, without direct preview link it is getting difficult to verify those. --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 18:23, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
I would assume good faith here and suppose that DS simply missed that and also years of publications. Those years also help in getting proper perspective. It is stupid if we use old sources for claims which were later proven wrong in court. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 18:31, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
I always add year of publication, dunno why they are not showing but if you edit the article and look at the refs you will see date, month and year. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:39, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
@Darkness Shines: Date and month is not required for books. That's why the year wasn't seen. @Titodutta: You are right. There are issues on several sources. Misrepresentations mostly. I see no point in cleaning it. Cleaning it would mean writing "according to XYZ" after every sentence. Taking it to AFD straightaway. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:06, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Sure! No rush. Given the nature, the AFD is not gonna close in one week's time anyways. We will be seeing few IPs, few socks, few simply I-hate-this-AFD kinda votes, big walls of posts and what not. You will need good net speed for sure. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
It is disturbing to see the article does not provide direct Google book preview link. Currently one needs to click on ISBNs and then search in a) Google Books b) Amazon preview c) and finally Questia etc to verify sources. A good number of sources "have" Google Books preview. I don't know if it was an attempt to create hindrance so that someone faces difficulties to verify sources. See Baboon43's first !Keep vote at AFD, I doubt if he has read all the sources (in just 9 minutes) before commenting "well-sourced". In my opinion, statements and allegations in that article have been exaggerated. In addition, your definition of "pogrom" i.e. attacks on Jews may not be "totally" correct (note "totally") as well. Current use of the word suggests "attack on minority groups or helpless people" --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 05:34, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
They will come in sooner or later once the AfD gets sorted. Also all concerned people have these articles and my talk page on watchlist. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:49, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
So, when are you closing those GARs? In next birth? It was very easy for you to take both the articles to GAR and now you have got slap across your face, when you'll close them. When everytime I see those GARs, my blood pressure rises to see as why it happened. You should be shameful for that as if you can't respect others hard work, how could you expect respect? Please, close them as soon as possible. But, it will remain a thorn in my hand (as I typed these articles with my tired hands).Prashant10:40, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
I think, you haven't read that. Both pages screams "Keep", which were the thinking of all the editors. You go and close by contacting the coordinator/ administrator.Prashant13:12, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

That was a request for input or request for comment. Anyway, leave that.
In January we (CorrectKnowledge and I) found an anti-Indian person, his comments and ideas included—
"The Devil has taken the shape of Asia and His heart is India."
"Freedom for India is freedom for evil."
"India is a cancer." etc.
We nominated those for deletion in Wikiversity. You can see the deletion discussion here wikiversity:Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion#Kedar_Joshi. See "archived article link" below each entry. Now, after 4—5 months those have been deleted. Totally absurd and defamatory! But, the problem is they have created the biographical article in a bunch of Wikipedias. The one of the English Wikipedia has been deleted for notability issue! --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 06:41, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
I was actually gonna enquire whether some common deletion forum can be established. If Meta does that, lets head there. Or else its difficult to do it on other wikis. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:39, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Excellent! There is a RogDel who'll notified automatically (I mean, so far, it has happened so). I have added a comment and added few more entries. Let's wait for initial comment at least and see how it goes and then we can notify the editor who participated in the English AFD (that will be "legitimate canvassing"). Those content are deleted and recreated multiple times. It is a deliberate attempt to promote anti-Indian comments. In Meta, you can change preference to "notify me after every watchlist change" and add that page in watchlist. --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 15:41, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Dharmadhyaksha, can't you see that the 14.* IP is a sock of Krant M L Verma? Is there no alternate image of Singh that omits the self-promotional twit? - Sitush (talk) 18:25, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Who so ever the IP is, both subjects are notable and have article here. So come up with a reason that warrants exclusion of Verma's image irrespective of who the editor is. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 18:28, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Tito, in so far as it relates to this thread, the article is Rajendra Singh (RSS). More generally, contributions from 14.* IPs promoting the works and image of Krant M L Verma have been making appearances elsewhere. He was indefinitely blocked after a prolonged period of self-promotion, incompetent contributions and apparent lying. Thus, any attempt to repeat by an IP and in such a consistent manner is block evasion and warrants immediate removal. There's the rationale, D. - Sitush (talk) 19:51, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Edit Conflict
I was doing some major work on the 2013 North India floods article, when I edit-conflicted with you. I over-rid the edit conflicted, and then manually tried to add everything that was added. Please check the article to see if I have missed anything.
Per your request at WT:HOCKEY, I have expanded the article beyond a stub, so if you were hoping for its associated image to appear on the main page, the article should now be of sufficient quality. Cheers! Resolute00:29, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey Resolute! That's a good job done. If you haven’t noticed, you have also expanded the article fivefold and now its eligible for DYK. And i dont think there are any rules that stop an article from being featured in DYK as well as TFP. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
Personally, I find the QPQ requirement annoying - though I understand and support its purpose.

Though anyone else is free to nominate if they so choose. Thanks! Resolute22:23, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Superfast1111 (talk) 04:02, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to trouble you again. But there is a particularly disruptive editor with whom i have had frequent run ins as he has been undoing my uploaded images without good reason other than ego. He has replaced a image that i had uploaded at Surat Railway station despite me tell him that he is wrong & why he is wrong also. The present image on Surat Railway station & Mumbai Rajdhani is exactly the same but still he refuses to listen & starts making accusations. Could you pls look into it?
Superfast1111 (talk) 05:40, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Dunno whats wrong with this editor. But if he keeps doing that repeatedly again we can get them blocked for such nonsense. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:05, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Good luck with that. I have been blocked twice coincidentally by the same admin on whose talk page the other editor has admitted to edit warring but was given a pep talk while i got a month's block so i doubt i will be taken seriously but i will fully support you should you decide to proceed with such a action. Fyi, i have put in a request at the dispute resolution noticeboard so presently i am dealing with him there.
Stop removing reliably sourced content just because you do not like what it says, this disruptive behaviour is getting ridiculous now. And what do you mean by my "team"?Darkness Shines (talk) 10:37, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Darkness, I know that it is convenient to do this sort of thing using Twinkle etc but I do think D falls into the "do not template the regulars" criterion. I mean, your message starts with "Welcome to Wikipedia", which seems a bit bizarre! I've no idea regarding - and have no intention of looking at - the edits that you refer to but, hey, surely there is another way to get the message across?

I was wondering if you could take a look at the article again. I expanded it to 1,527 characters and formatted the references, but it seems doubtful that he deserves his own article, which I explained at the DYK nomination.

On this page Jawaharlal Nehru, the cited religion says Atheist/Agnostic, i have read his autobiographies, and interviews, he never said himself if he is any one of them. And if we go by such sources, then there are always some false assumption, but just any person. Remembering, that this page had shown, the religion of Nehru as Hindu until the end of 2009[10], after this the page fallen to some propaganda, while other websites suggest that Nehru's religion was hinduism, as per his own admission. Let me know what you think about it. Although the edit that i had made there can be seen here[11] the explanation is situated in talks. Thanks. Capitals00 (talk) 04:41, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
bhai.. can you please help me in this issue? have a look at nitesh rane's page.. controversies section.. someone has added his personal comments about gujarati community using reference of twitter account.. can we use tweets as reference even if the account is not verified by twitter?? that user has tagged me for disruptive editing.Aniketp007 (talk) 03:22, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Aniketp007, you deleted well sourced comments made by Nitesh Narayan Rane with secondary references from established newspapers like Economic Times and Dna India. Nitesh Rane has not denied making those statements and has given interviews supporting his rather controversial xenophobic tweets. By unilaterly deleting those comments you fell foul of wikipedia policies and I left a message on your talkpage. Wikipedia policy is not to censor offensive material. If you want any clarification for me please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Neelkamala (talk) 03:38, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Sorry guy! I dont have much time at hand now. But i agree with Neelkamala that the content should stay. Only i object to it's current form. One or two lines about the situation are fine. Also, we need not have a special section as "controversy". You see, the content above in the article, like the birthday banners, vadapav stalls, Zenda, etc. are also termed as "controversy" in media. But we don't create such special dedicated sections in BLPs; unless they are only known for that. We blend the content in other sections. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:49, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
bhai.. i admit it was a mistake to directly delete that content and as you have said using some lines about situation is fine but those quotes are removing the attention from other material and there's already a section named "media". i hope that user will make changes to that content.Aniketp007 (talk) 09:05, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
query
can you tell please me what tag should i use to blend that "controversy" section into "media" section? or should i just remove the section and write the summarized matter into media section? and the reference links too.Aniketp007 (talk) 12:55, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Why? Dharmadhyaksha has not to my knowledge contributed to the article for nearly a year. Forgive me for thinking that you are trying to canvass someone with whom there have been disagreements far more recently. - Sitush (talk) 00:02, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
It is similar to you approaching Drmies on his talk page after you came to know from me that i had taken him to DRN when i gave you the link to what TransporterMan had said about WP:WELLKNOWN in DRN. (Subsequent to which Drmies initiated a complaint against me.) Clearly you were canavassing for support with someone with whom you knew i had had a serious disagreement in the past, and so i see no reason why i should not emulate you. Furthermore, the fact that User:Dharmadhyaksha has complained about the way you interact with other editors is very relevant to the discussion taking place in ANI about me because a similar complaint is being made against me. Soham321 (talk) 01:41, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
I just expanded the article by adding new material to the 'What to do' section. Feel free to comment on, correct or modify my edit. Thanks. Soham321 (talk) 02:40, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
See WP:SEEALSO. Such sections shouldn't exist if the links provided in them are covered elsewhere and it is covered in the template at the end of the page. Also, biography template is just useless. It has no such meaning as such on this particular article. Its like putting a Fashion template on her page, because she wears something that might be considered fashionable by some people in the world around.

I am working on some articles for Wikiproject India and observed that the map shown here Outline of India is not in line with the current status. Pls. see the map.
In this, Kashmir is shown of Pakistan. This map is linked to many articles Request to help in deleting this map as it gives the wrong message to the world. I request you to help in deleting all such maps and put the right map in place of that. Coolgama (talk) 06:26, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi! It is not really possible to delete this map. The map is freely available and comes from CIA World Factbook. Even if it's different from reality (reality being that Kashmir is officially part of India) or global consensus (global consensus being its officially part of India but occupied by Pakistan and thus termed POK), the fact that CIA WFB thinks that this is how India's map is is enough reason to keep it. However, what you can practically do is remove it from articles and replace it with another one. Moreover, a non-practical solution would be to raise a deletion review on Commons. But there are fairly very good chances of it going unfavourable for numerous reasons. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 16:51, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
Pav Bhaji
A plate of Pav Bhaji for you
Here is a plate of Pav Bhaji for you. Pav Bhaji is a Maharashtrian fast food which became popular in all over India. Pav bhaji consists of bhaji (a thick potato-based curry) garnished with coriander, chopped onion, and a dash of lemon and lightly toasted pav. The pav is usually buttered on all sides. Thank you.

Your expertise urgently needed
I can manage Vivekananda, Ramakrishna portal, since I know about them. But, I do not know much about Asaram Bapu (he is not much popular in Kolkata). I need few editors who know both a) Asaram Bapu and his works b) current Indian politics and on other hand he must be a trusted Wikipedia editor as well. Please see this Talk:Asaram_Bapu#Removed_sections and more importantly the writing pattern of Asaram Bapu article and provide your insights. Tito☸Dutta07:19, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

I have just noticed (most probably), we do not have any article on Maun Vrata. Such a crucial and unique practice. We can create one and take it to DYK. What do yu think? --Tito☸Dutta21:48, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
But there is a article on Vow of silence which in a line says that its called mauna in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Its better to add info to that article itself. 5x for DYK would mean taking from 2493 to 12465 and huushh!!! i see myself nowhere even close to being able to do that. Have redirected it now. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:55, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

2013 is being celebrated as the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda. In September 1893 he delivered a series of lectures in the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago. Six of those lectures are mainly referred and recorded in the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda. We are attempting to feature DYKs on the dates on which Vivekananda delivered his speeches in Chicago.
If "DYK featured?" column indicates "no", that means, the date is still free.
Please do not select more than 1 DYK per day (even if you see more than 1 DYK are nominated per day).
Do not comment on this template or the planned DYK celebration in the DYK nomination page. Post your comments here.
Task completed: 100% complete
DYK promoter/Admin, please note
If you feel a "passed" DYK nomination is not ready to be promoted or a hook needs to be pulled down from queue, please replace it with the immediate next DYK hook or select one from the reserved DYKs.

Hi Dharma, i am having some trouble on the Jaipur Duronto Express article which has been created by me. Another editor is repeatedly trying to add irrelevant information despite my request to him to explain his actions on the talk page where i have written detailed reasons for my actions. His persistence on adding irrelevant information is pushing me close to the 3RR limit & his refusal to comment on the talk page renders the option of going to 3rd Opinion or Dispute resolution unworkable.
Can you please go through the talk page of this article & comment your opinion on 'battery operated rickshaw driver's protest'
Summary of it is as below.
Topic- Which of the two versions be preferred to go into the protest section of 'Article'
Option A -
ADD - The AAP has supported various regulatory complaints raised by rickshaw operators in Delhi.
KEEP - the rest of the 'protest' section as it is.
Option B -
ADD - On 16 September 2013, Aam Aadmi Party supported e-rickshaw driver's demand in Delhi that there should be a policy on battery operated rickshaws in the capital city to stop their exploitation by Delhi Transport Department. Party also said that a subsidy should be given to manual rickshaw drivers who want to purchase e-rickshaws. Earlier in June 2013, the party had supported agitations of rickshaw drivers against ban on advertisements on auto rickshaws alleging that the ban is imposed because most rickshaw drivers supported Aam Aadmi party & carried their banners.
remove - On 10 June 2013, Kejriwal supported the agitation of Delhi auto rickshaw drivers, who were protesting the Delhi government's ban on advertisements on auto rickshaws. Kejriwal claimed that, auto rickshaw drivers supported his party and they carried AAP's advertisements on their auto rickshaws and this is the reason for Delhi Government's ban and he challenged that volunteers of AAP will put 10,000 advertisements on auto rickshaws as a protest.

Our good friend is back on the Pushpak Express page. Think you need to pay a visit there.
On another front,i have managed to upload images on every page on the western railway suburban railway station pages from Virar to Churchgate, Harbour Line from Andheri to Mumbai CST, Main Line from Mumbai CST to Thane except Vikhroli & Bhandup ( i have a similar image to the present one). So life is good here.
I dont think i have time for the Pushpak issue. If at all it is getting out of control with a certain editor you can ask for some help at WP:DRN. Nice to know about all the images. I have some images of stations post Thane on Central line and i will try to upload them today. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:52, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
Good heavens, the idea is not to bother you but in my experience if you get more people involved in the beginning of the problem, it helps preventing it spiral out of control. Anyway, the issue has been taken care of.

Thanks! But it would be really great if you work on your article more. You should start with it in your own space Help:Userspace draft and then move it to article space when you are done with it. That way you can take your own time before someone speedy deletes it. (I take months together many times in userspace.) Also i find it easy to nominate article for WP:DYK once they are nicely fleshed. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 07:27, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Consensus of what? Editing doesn't require consensus. The matter to be written in it might require and you can't discuss to reach consensus until its written. (Unless you are the-one-who-must-not-be-named and are already reading my mind.) Basic stuff: the guy is talked about a lot in newspapers, news channels, his books are mentioned many times, his Mission Netaji is talked about a lot, his "RTI crusades" are covered in news and all is happening since long; not a one time event. Your best chance of not getting me to edit is to get the article deleted. And i know you and i haven't gone along well majority of the times so its obvious for you to go polite-warning me. But dude, you are reaping what you sowed. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 13:07, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
Two reasons for reverting you. You removed RegentPark's edit of "several book" and wrote "three" there. That was unnecessary. We need not be so precise. We can't sit and edit articles every time Dhar writes another book to change this count. Secondly, the article already mentioned No Secrets as "In the book No Secrets, Dhar claims that, according to a newspaper article published by Bose's elder brother Sarat Chandra Bose in The Nation, Bose was in China in October 1949." Hence i found it repetition. Also, the reference doesn't mention Vietnam. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 19:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
The monarch infobox is used in only a few mythology related article, all of which were recently added by Parik92 (talk·contribs). I recently removed most/all of these infoboxes from those articles too... before I saw your revert (else I would have waited)
As I noted of Parik92's userpage, the monarch infobox is an ill-fit for mythological figures with complicated lineages and varying legends.
In addition the particular Karna box has glaring anachronisms: for example giving him the title of "Samrat Karna" or religion of "Hinduism".
I think whatever info shared on wiki should be a complete one.. If public is getting information on Karna's character they should know correct thing.. Samrat is not at all related to hinduism .. it means King and according to epic Karna was the king of Anga state and mentioned many a time by the title of samrat in literature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parik92 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Well, i wasn't aware that such infobox addition was recent. I thought there always was some infobox there. Its strange that many Hindu characters don't have infoboxes, now that am seeing. In case you find monarch as unsuitable template, do we have any other option? Ravana uses this box too, where it does not seem odd. Although it did use Template:Infobox deity before that. Do we go on using deity template for all? If we try really hard, we can surely locate a temple for all these to prove they are worshipped and bestow them with deity status. Karna has at least one temple. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 18:33, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't have a problem with infoboxes in general, and the exact template used (diety, monarch, person etc) is not much of a issue either, since wikipedia readers don't see the template name in any case. The main issue, as I see it, is that the fields that are included in the infobox be well-suited to the article's subject, and not leave the reader with the wrong impression (or worse, wrong information).
To be explicit, consider the case of Karna: the most notable aspects of his story in Mahabharate are his being (to put it loosely) a half-brother of Pandavas who was brought up outside the family-fold, and fights at the side of the more-distantly related Kauravas. His being the nominal King of Anga is completely incidental. Now look at the infobox included here and go through the fields in order: you'll notice that many, if not most of them, are just made up ("Samrat Karna", "Angaraaj Karna" as full name), wrong (Mahabharata and Kunti as Issues (?!)), or debateable/misleading (Surya as "Biological father"; Yadu as Royal House; Hinduism as religion). While some of these are easy to fix, the last category of errors is especially hard to deal with in pre-formatted infoboxes. We would seem to have a choice between with either a non-informative infobox with only a few fields filled, or worse, a misleading infobox that leaves the reader less well-informed about what is important to know about Karna, than two well-written sentences in the lede. Trying to shoehorn Karna into a diety infobox would present comparable problems.
All that said, perhaps we can build a new (or, usurp an existing) infobox better suited for such cases. Since I have not looked at this for a long time, I'll ping @Redtigerxyz: for input too. Thoughts, comments welcome. Abecedare (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
There would also be some or the other problem in putting things in a template. Even if we manufactured our own separate template, which will surely be deleted by horrendous majority in no time, it will also have some or the other problem. The main problem comes in fixing all Hindu concepts to suit something with the Western ones. In that we at times complicate stuff or really dumb down them. Its right that a well written lead will suffice any infobox. But i prefer infoboxes over complicated sentences which our editors frame. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:08, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

This is your second warning: please do not be disruptive by pinging people in that manner. I have undone your inappropriate addition for hopefully the final time. Stop. ES&L15:31, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Interesting to see how you find it disruptive when pinged but are okay with tagging article for deletion and not caring to reply back on AfD. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 15:45, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the pinging is about, but as you've been warned against it I suggest you find other means of communication. Why not simply explain your position in the discussion? Take care. Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:50, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
You were given a FINAL WARNING that using ECHO in that manner to ping individuals was inappropriate. I rightly removed it once, and warned you. You modified it and re-added it. You are being disruptive, and you have been advised as such - and now you're edit-warring about it. At what part do you stop before becoming blocked? ES&L10:35, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
You have also been warned now to not refract my talk page comments. Your name is not mentioned in it anymore and other two editors have not bothered with that ping. So when will you stop being nosy? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:59, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
The refactoring was done because your actions were in appropriate - as such, your "warning" is useless, and shows you seem to lack a clue about your behaviour, even though you were advised by more than one person. In fact, it's a petty tit-for-tat. You were told that using ECHO for that purpose was inappropriate. I removed it, and you ridiculously re-added disruptive material. Which part of "do not ever use ECHO for that purpose" did you not understand? You cannot warn me for removing your violation ES&L11:06, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
You calling it inappropriate doesn't make it so. I say you editing my talk is inappropriate. Now don't return back and stop changing my edits on talk pages. You are changing my edits and giving wrong impression to others about me. That's a far more serious wrong you are doing. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:17, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Here's an idea: you don't break the policy again ... and now the edit-warring policy too ... and I won't have to either a) post here again, or b) report you to WP:AN/3RR. It's a simple ideal: don't break the rules, you won't get called out for breaking the rules. Follow the rules, we'll get along just fine :-) ES&L11:28, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
What, I made up the edit-warring policy now? Look, I know I'm an admin and all, but I don't think I made it it up ... I'm not even sure I've ever edited that specific policy - although there are many that I have been involved in ES&L11:33, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
It would be canvassing if i called uninvolved editors to the discussion by using ping and not the already involved ones who simply haven't replied back since long. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:53, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
I know, and that's why I think this is a storm in a teacup. Still, I've deliberately not pinged in AfDs to avoid such drama. BTW, ES&L is an admin (Bwilkins) - they're using an alternate account. - Sitush (talk) 12:20, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
ES&L, can you clarify again why you think Dharmadhyaksha original actions broke some policy? Here is how I see them:
He added responses to earlier delete votes at this AFD and pinged the original nominator (ie you) and !voters to inform that there was something on the page they may want to review and respond to. This is perfectly acceptable use of the notification system, as would have been clear if he had used {{reply}} template in his original responses (or left a {{tb}} on the listed users talkpage) instead of making a separate post. You'll note that the other two users that were pinged did respond, with one of them changing their delete to keep.
You responded here that you didn't want to be so pinged and that you as a personal policy "have little intent to return to" AFD pages for articles you nominate for deletion. FWIW, I think that is a poor policy to have, but it is your choice. All fine so far.
After that both of you started acting silly: you by removing his earlier message with the {[t1|ping}} template (which AFAIK doesn't serve any purpose since the notifications were already sent out) and Dharmadhyaksha by re-adding it (which was worse, since it would add another notification for the other users, which obviously was not the desired effect)
So at this point I'd just request that both of you disengage from conduct listed in (3) above and move on from this pointy exchange. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 12:28, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

1. PROD means uncontroversial deletions. If someone has objected the deletion, be it IP or registered user, be it with a reason or without, the deletion is objected and thus no longer remains uncontroversial.
2. While requesting deletion, via PROD or AFD, one has to check on many things. If at all you would have checked a few of those mentioned, you would have not in your senses asked for deletion. Sandhu had tremendous web references and a very good list of works.
Redirect of "List of companies in Noida and Greater Noida"
Hi Dharmadhyaksha, I am the editor who recently redirected "List of companies in Noida and Greater Noida" to "Noida". In my opinion the list is problematic for several reasons. Other than the fact that it is tagged as an orphan, it has zero references and fails the notability criteria. It has also become a target for spam links. Do you have any objections to a redirect to either "Noida" or "Greater Noida"? If you have any misgivings, I'd be happy to try to sort things out. Best regards, – Zntrip18:43, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Essentially, my problem is the scope of the list. Those other lists are of companies based in a particular location. In this one, most of the companies listed are foreign and the Indian companies include ones that are not headquartered in Noida. However, I would be willing to not redirect the article if the list is limited only to companies headquartered in Noida. – Zntrip04:06, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Noida is an industrial zone, essentially set up so that industries from abroad and within can be housed there. These companies make Noida what it is and hence a list of these all isn't an outright bad idea. Their origin hardly matters. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:12, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
What about Gurgaon? Was that set up as a zone also? I know that there are ISZs in various places (starting to look like any large city). I worry about this type of list becoming little more than a directory unless there is some sort of criteria. Obviously, WP:NLIST is a start ...
Well... Gurgaon wasn't setup as an industrial area, but eventually turned to be one. Noida was like clubbing of small villages together to form such zone. There were cries also of how govt took away land for inadequate compensations. There must be some fancy name also given to this scam and Indira and Rajiv Gandhi's ministers might also be named in them. In such case i think Noida gets its notability only of these companies and hence their article seems fine. Many a times i am of the opinion that editors call something non-notable just because its not presented well. make it a table, add the foundation year, add photographs and there will actually be editors considering to make it a FL. Now i dont know why British cities and their companies don't make up a list. American's very well do. Check List of tenants in One World Trade Center and its similarities. LuLu International Shopping Mall is the 2nd largest in India and there will be a day when on similar lines someone will start their tenants' list. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:31, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Yes, the special name is probably "Land scam #[insert some digits here]"! I think the WTC list probably came about because of the connection to 9/11 - for obvious reasons, many businesses were very badly affected and such things can be linked through the list. If LuLu gets hit (please, I hope it doesn't) then the same might apply. However, lists that constantly shift around will not likely make FL because maintaining the standard of the things is nigh-on impossible ... and companies come and go at an alarming rate.
I'm not saying that no UK cities have a list - I think some poor soul has tried to do one for London, which has the added problem of how one defines "London"! I also don't have a problem with such lists existing but I do think that some sort of basic criteria should be established beyond that of WP:NLIST. For example, as Zntrip mentioned above, that a business is based there rather than just operating from the place. Or maybe I should start List of Wal-mart stores, including ones not actually called Wal-mart but operated by them. - Sitush (talk) 08:55, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
They surely come and go at a lesser alarming rate than CMs do. We have List of current Indian chief ministers as FL. Lists and categories are always gonna be disputable. There is never gonna be a hard line drawn to distinguish them. We might make Category:Companies with offices in Noida also to get rid of the list. Within the article of Noida, i hope, you wouldn't mind mentioning the names of the companies which are present there, even if the owners are foreigners. That's because they make the city, provide employment, help in other social stuff and what not. If the names can not be excluded from the article's prose, why should a forked list be deleted? And why should only the headquarters be listed? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:36, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Businesses as entities may come and go less frequently but in terms of their location I suspect it is often different, and these lists are based on location. I'm not all that mithered - I'm only watching the one because having to weed out spam and puffery is soul-destroying stuff and is all too common. If I want to find a company then I use Google, which is far more reliable than any single Wikipedia list of this type, but if other people are happy to look at a load of crap then I guess that is their choice. I certainly wouldn't propose deleting the things but tightening up what qualifies might be useful, even if only making it abundantly clear what geographic limitations apply - to take the London example, there is City of London (a very small area), London and Greater London. The latter two are not even well-defined by, say, postcode or telephone number.
Hey, here's something that might make you chuckle. India's Mars probe is costing UKP45 million; the UK is proposing to spend UKP50 billion getting people from London to Birmingham. - Sitush (talk) 11:42, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Hehe! We should include that in the mars probe article. Compare it will all such unrelated stuff. I can't find that link anywhere now, but when Sachin Tendulkar retired there was lotsa such crap in news; like how many PMs have changed in his career duration, what were the prices of onions then and now, etc. etc. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Well, the price of onions is a major issue, isn't it? I bet people can find a way to connect it to just about anything in the certain knowledge that it affects just about everyone and just about no-one is happy about it. What is the cause of it, though? The last figure I saw was a rise of 270-something per cent in six months or something like that. Is it speculation, poor harvests or what? Do we have an article yet, perhaps 2012 onion scam: the year that India cried? - Sitush (talk) 07:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Human sacrifice, a user is annoyingly reverting to a debunked and useless version, which claims sati to be human sacrifice and thuggee to be human sacrifice, despite the given sources are clearly dead links, and unrelated, like explained in talk. Bladesmulti (talk) 14:06, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
This picture looks a bit funky (looks like some sort of layering), I'm unable to find a reasonable source. Can you check it out? I'm just catching up with talk page archives, will respond soon on the BH fiasco. —SpacemanSpiff12:52, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
@SpacemanSpiff: Strange pics they are; all of those the user has uploaded. I can't find copies elsewhere. But to me they look like they are photographs of TV screen. The recent LED/LCD TVs don't do it, i guess. But if you clicked a photograph of the screen of the old fashioned CRT TVs, you might get something that has such colour changes. Also, as the screen is not flat, the images look like they are taken in curved mirrors. Could be taken for deletion. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:03, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
According to the Indian Copyright Act of 1957, if a person is hired and paid to click a photograph, that image is the property of the person who pays for it. Is that correct? Quoting the provision in the act - "in the case of a photograph taken, or a painting or portrait drawn, or an engraving or a cinematograph film made, for valuable consideration at the instance of any person, such person shall, in the absence of any agreement to the contrary, be the first owner of the copyright therein"
Mr Shivam has also written an email to me verifying his ownership of the image, and he has also released the image with a CC BY 2.0 license on his Flickr stream. Can this image be used on Commons, or does it have to be deleted? Your suggestion would be very helpful. Thanks Anir1uph | talk | contrib14:52, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
You should have given some more time before closing that debate very early .If I am new to wikipedia that doesn't mean that i am not aware of wikipedia rules and policies. I was not saying that is Bappi Lahiri a notable topic or not. I was saying that this article lacks sufficient citations and it had not been written properly. The wikipedia administrators and old editors should help the new editors instead of blaming them for creating nuisance for others. I, am sorry but that is not the spirit of Wikipedia.--Param Mudgal (talk) 07:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
What would you have achieved with more time? It wasn't gonna help the article in any way. The real spirit or whatever of Wikipedia would be to mend the article if you see problems in it and not get it deleted completely. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:13, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I know the guidelines for deletion and i would mend the article if there are problems in one section of the article , not the whole article. And if more time was given more editors could give their views and decision should not be taken by the consent of 2-3 editors and new editors should be helped by old editors instead of criticizing and blaming them for creating nuisance for others.--Param Mudgal (talk) 10:59, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
"I was not saying that is Bappi Lahiri a notable topic or not" – When you yourself feel that it's notable then why did you take the article to Afd. If you feel it lacks citations, needs copy-edit, etc., you can tag the article but not simply tag them for deletion. —Vensatry(Ping me)08:35, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
In the past I've come across several images (from the site) of HR present elsewhere in many other websites, at an earlier upload date. I don't think they own the rights of all the images as they claim in their site. See this image for eg., grabbed from here. I can quote some more files. —Vensatry(Ping me)11:51, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Well... they claim that they are the copyrights owners of those 7-8 files. And they claim only those, unlike how BH claims all parties' images. So if you have doubts, you may open a common DR for all those images. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 18:00, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
I personally don't think the lead needs rewritten. I think it summarizes things rather nicely, if you agree would you mind fixing it or removing the tag? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 09:33, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Just so you know I have an open ANI thread here[[13]]. It's not about your changes which had been good and you may not need to reply there at all since you haven't really been part of the dispute but I figured you may want to know. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 10:40, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

As said in the edit summary, the images fail WP:NFCC. Please read that. The images are not required here in this article. Please revert your reversion of my edit and remove the images from the article. In case of doubts ask. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:21, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
(edit conflict)The easier way with lesser documentation is to remove them from articles. Unused images with rationale get deleted after a certain time. That's when there is no dispute about the images. If there is dispute, the images can be taken up for deletion. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:59, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
