Infobox SchoolHi! I saw your comment on the talk page of Barasat Peary Charan Sarkar Government High School.The infobox used on the page- is that not a school infobox?Are there other infoboxes as well for schools?Where can I find them?In other school pages I guess!!!--Dwaipayanc 05:33, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Great ContributorI see that you have been contributing extensively and wisely on Wikipedia. Would you like to assume janitorial duties on Wikipedia as well? If yes, then I would like to nominate you for the position of an administrator. Please reply. --Andy123 07:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Infobox in BarasatI tried working that out myself, but could not come to any possible solution. I am new to Wikipedia, and do not understand the mark up well. I think, I will ask for admin attention on this article. --Andy123 07:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Freakofnurture worked it out. The page is fine now. You can go and check. --Andy123 08:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC) NumberThanks and greetings. --Bhadani 09:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC) Brilliant!are all shaping up nicely! I'm going home from hospital (7:45 AM here, I was up all night on call) and will have a longer look when I wake up! -- Samir (the scope) 12:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC) Re:RfaHi - thanks for your support and compliments. I want to become an administrator, but I need to prove myself on RC patrol and other tasks around here. Adminship is not a reward for good users. I hope one day you too will be ready for an RfA.

Thanks. --Ragib 05:28, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Re:peculiar problemHi - then you should include the same instructions you gave me to find the page. It will be ok as long as those instructions are accurate themselves. Rama's Arrow 06:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
about TripuraThanks about bringing attention to articles regarding the state, I am from Agartala but now in Punjab. In my free time have tried to gather as much info as I can. If you are free you can also contribute to the empty pages list in my user page user:bdebbarma —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdebbarma (talk • contribs) categoriesHi Dwaipayanc - Just to let you know, I'm presently re-organizing categories related to History of India, and freedom struggle. There are many sub-categories specific to the job, so please keep in mind not to "over-categorize" - meaning, if you have "Indian revolutionary freedom fighters," no need to link "Indian freedom fighters" as well.

ProblemsThe problems we encountered yesterday were of technical type, and I had seen this happening earlier also. --Bhadani 04:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC) GreetingsHoli greetings. --Bhadani 11:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
SpookyHi, sorry for responding so late; in fact, it was the first time I saw something like that. Also, by mistake, another editor erased your message while messaging me and I got to see it late. A bug report is typically given in Signpost, probably we will read something in next week's signpost. --Gurubrahma 13:25, 15 March 2006 (UTC) Partition of IndiaDwai, did you even notice that we have two long lists at the bottom of the article re books and films relating to the Partition? You are repeating some of the material in your new section. I have a suggestion -- how about moving the book and movie lists OUT of the historical article and putting them in a breakout article, Partition of India in the arts, and then just having a sentence or two to point to the article? This would simplify the article and also allow you to include more of the material that interests you. Zora 00:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
1) "Culture" is ambiguous in English. It can mean high culture, or just the arts (which is what I suggested), or culture in the broadest anthropological sense, which would include things like kinship, table manners, etc. I do get the feeling that you mean the arts, not table manners. 2) "Impact" is an over-used word that makes the copyeditors I know (from a mailing list) snicker. It sounds like a fancy corporate word for "cause" or sometimes "effects". Starting with the words "Partition of India" is a good choice, because then we have the main article, Partition of India, and then we have breakout articles, like Partition of Indian and the arts, Partition of Indian and the effect on the Indian military, Partition of India and Indian cuisine, Partition of India and table manners, etc. :) Of course, other editors may have even better ideas. Discuss it at the Partition of India article? It's also easy to change the name, at least before it's linked to too many other articles, when it starts becoming a chore. So any choice is not necessarily forever. Zora 07:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC) Central AvenueJust wanted to shoot you a quick note to let you know that I set up Central Avenue as a disambiguation page. A few entries (including some I've worked on) dealing with the Los Angeles area linked to the page before it had been deleted, so I thought it best to create a page to send folks in either direction should the need arise. Cheers. Adbarnhart 19:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC) Did some copyediting and added refs. Looks great! May have to wikibreak for a bit as am on service on the ward for the week. -- Samir (the scope) 07:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC) Images KolkataHey, thanks!! I really like your images but I do have a request. I think we should not have more than two images per subsection as a general rule. For instance, you just added some nice images for the transport section but now it messes up all the other images. We need to keep images next to the relevant text as best as possible! Having said that, it would be really cool if you have access to a public domain tram image :) Thanks and lets hope that Kolkata becomes a featured article by end of this month! Your message: Hi! Nice works on Kolkata. Thanks a lot. Please see if any further shrtening of the article is possible. I am hunting for good images! Bye.--Dwaipayanc 08:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC) Well, I did look at Kerala. The only section where I noticed more than two images (it was three) was History. However, I did say "as a general rule." Thing is that when you add 4-5 images for the transport section, you suddenly have the images in completely different sections. It just does not look very professional then (in my opinion). However, if you look at any featured article (including kerala), they tend to have images next to the relevant text. If the text can support four images then it is fine to have four images. Does that make sense? Hi! Nice works on Kolkata. Thanks a lot. Please see if any further shrtening of the article is possible. I am hunting for good images! Bye.--Dwaipayanc 08:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC) I differ with you in one poine, the restriction of number of images. Somebody said (I cannot, as usual, remember who :)) an image speaks more than a hundred words ! Please see Kerala, where the number of images used is less, but some sections have more than 2 images. However, if we get better images, we can easily delete the earlier poorer images. I will be hunting for a tram. The article has more glitzy images of Kolkata]], rather than some images presenting daily life. I am looking foe some such kind of photos. Bye.--Dwaipayanc 08:49, 19 March 2006 (UTC) BTW, you mentioned Mumbai which is the guideline I am using to get Kolkata to FA tag. Mumbai has 10-11 images. Currently Kolkata article has over twenty images. I agree images are VERY important but you can also have too many images. I can almost guarantee that kolkata page has more images than any other India city page and it will not become FA if our images are floating around interferring with the flow of text. Sincerely, (Blacksun 08:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)) Ya, I use firefox too but I use laptop. For me, the third image for transport section went right in middle of festival section. Yes, I have no problem moving it to talk section. BTW, really like the sadhu image but now the Armenian jew image is floating in middle of next section for me :P Also, it would be pretty cool if you had a soccer image from kolkatta instead of the eden garden image for the sports section or maybe a better image of eden garden. Sorry, I just figured out today how to respond to private messages lol. Yes, getting feedback will be good. BTW, their might be another interesting way to present more images; check out this gallery section for jaisalmer at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaisalmer. Prostitution in IndiaSo far as I know it is legal but discouraged (this may vary from placwe to place, however). If you know differently, please add your say to the article. I am working on it right now and doing some reading that I hope will clear it up and get the stub into a decent artivcle over the next few days.

Hi - magnificent work on Satyajit Ray's work as a writer, and the partition-culture initiative. You create some really brilliant articles! - medicine, history, geography, culture. Just great!Rama's Arrow 05:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
KolkataThanks for the tram image. BTW, I have started a post in Kolkata talk over getting feedback for the image issue. (Blacksun 16:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC))
(Blacksun 13:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)) You wrote: Hi ! The sections "Colonial architecture" and "Modern Kolkata" seem extra in Kolkata, as Rama's Arrow and AreJay have pointed out in the talk page of Kolkata. Though it is not necessary to build the article just like other city articles, yet we should try to conform the article to a general rule which has been followed in Wikipedia. We should try to absorb these two sections elsewhere, may be in "Geography", "Administration" etc. Regarding images, we should create a central repository in Kolkata image gallery and use images from there as appropriate , as Ganeshk nicely adviced. However, we should concentrate now on the text, so that the text is good, informative, grammtically correct, and properly resourced. Thanks for all the work you are doing. Please see the template I've added in "See also" section. You can add more Kolkata-related articles to the template, I could not incorporate all articles. Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 08:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Please try to sign your comments by clicking the third button from the right on the switch panel above the edit box. Usually new talks are added to the end of an on-going talk page, both user talk pages and article talk pages. Hey, please look at the Kolkata image gallery, you can use image from the gallery. You can remove images from the main article as appropriate, but just check in every case if the image exists in the Kolkata image gallery. Please add more images to the gallery when you come across them. Bye.--Dwaipayanc 13:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Hi ! Please see Canberra. There the geography section consists of geography proper, "climate" and the "urban structure", while a separate section of "Infrastructure" contains health, transport and utilities! Sydney also does the same. We can solve the problem of "modern Kolkata" and "architecture" etc by following this pattern, and absorbing the contents of these would-be-deleted sections within "urban structure". Kolkata is still a moderate article, just about 35 KB. Many F.A.s are 45 KB. So no problem regarding size. Bye.--Dwaipayanc 14:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I really like the radar image under urban structure. I removed it originally as it did not seem that good under geography. I was wondering if you think we are close to nominating the article for review? We have a good reference list and text has improved a lot in past few days. A review might be useful at this point. Looking forward to your suggestions.--Blacksun 20:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC) Nice workHey, I must say it looks lot better by moving colonial architecture stuff to tourism. Now the urban structure has a lot better lead in and tourism looks less like a brochure. I still have concerns about the last two paragraphs in tourism but it is lot better now than before. Nice work! (Blacksun 00:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)) Thanks for noticing......my slip-ups; actually, we have changed the way of informing on talkpages ;-) due to several changes as announced on Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Announcements_and_proposed_changes and as linked to from Template talk:Did you know. Thanks for your interest, --Gurubrahma 08:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC) DYKKolkataHi - In case my shout was not received, I'll write it down below. I'm in Ahmedabad rite now, so I figured this would be the closest I'd get to Kolkata, and fancied my chances... There is no need to hesitate in starting peer review. However, bear in mind that writing an FA on Kolkata will require covering more ground than a PR will reveal - some key holes may go unplugged till FAC. I'm sure Kolkata will be FA in no time. I was very surprised to find no article on Sarat Bose - could have sworn there was one. Rama's Arrow 10:09, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dwaipayanc, A request has been made for Indian Institutes of Technology to be peer-reviewed so that it can achieve a Featured Article status. I have been working on it for the last one week and feel that it is satisfactorily good to start the peer-review process. Please care to have a look at it and give your precious comments. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:36, 26 March 2006 (UTC) Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #1
SorryHi Dwaipayan, my statement about Kolkata was badly put, I really didn't mean anything when I made it. I know very well the incredible contribution of Calcuttans to the BD liberation, and really like the place personally as well. Thanks, --ppm 19:49, 26 March 2006 (UTC) I personally know very little about FAC procedures and such, I've left the issue with User:Ragib.--ppm 21:20, 26 March 2006 (UTC) Kolkata PRYou're welcome, Dwaipayan...I sincerely hope Kolkata becomes FA soon!

Sorry, I have had medical emergency in the family and been tied up. --Blacksun 07:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC) I may not have much time in the next couple of weeks due to a death in the family. Will try to look at it later. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC) Pakistan articleHey, thanks for the congratulations.

Lets work together to the FA status. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:37, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Bangla wikipediaHey, do you want to work on the Bangla one too? Right now, there seems to be no Bengali editors from west bengal. You can join it at http://bn.wikipedia.org . You need to enable Bangla text rendering support (in WinXP) though, details of which can be found at http://www.omicronlab.com/avrokeyboard/ . Thanks. --Ragib 19:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC) On SantiniketanDwaipayanc, Thanks for your response. I understand your point of view. But the aforesaid line (The generally disreputable state of affairs perpetuated by the West Bengal government, communist and totally corrupt has not helped matters) was not my contribution in the first place, but that of someone called Ishanb on 2nd January 2006. Please refer to his/ her contribution on that date. This person even made it autobiographical by adding the following: "Santiniketan is still my home, but the idyllic existence envisioned by Tagore (and my grandfather, Amiya Chakravarty, who was Tagore's secretary and a poet in his own right) is rapidly disappearing" I had to reduce that. As regards the article, do what you think is best. Also keep up the good work. Regards, LordGulliverofGalben comments on DYK nomsYeah sure, we want more participation ;). Ghirla who comments regularly is not an admin and is not interested in becoming one. --Gurubrahma 04:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC) SatyajitThe only worry I have (looking ahead), is whether the fact that all our images are fair use will be a problem if/when it goes up for FA. Thanks.--ppm 16:27, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
would look for Harvard
There are some formatting issues (how to make it 2 columns and such), but u can just copy from Satyajit and the fill in the Kolkata references. Once you made the Reference, you really refer it like this: There was lot of communal fury. [1] On Mohiner GhoraguliNot a problem that you remove the links to Mohiner Ghoraguli from the main Kolkata page. Actually, I was browsing some pages and came across these articles on the band and Goutam Chattopadhayay, and tried enriching them with more content. Then felt the impulse of adding them to the Kolkata article. Anyways, folks can get to them from the Bangla band link already provided. Also, I added and linked up Allahabad Bank from Kolkata and also tried to add content to the bank's page as well. You are doing a tremendous job for the article and I sincerely hope that for all the hard work put in by you, Kolkata becomes a FA. Why are you adding a category for a place that isn't mentioned in the article? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Kolkatalooking at kolkata, though, it seems to be mainly web references. I am not sure if Harvard style is the best option there.--ppm 02:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC) |
