Hi Anir1uph, civil service officers in India namely IAS, IPS and IFS are like honorary title, which would be embedded to your name after successful selection in the UPSC exams.
In simple words it's like (Dr) etc..
On Wikipedia, only the name is used. In India, only 2 professions are allowed to use titles before their name: Dr (medical or otherwise) and defence personnel. IAS, IFS, CA (chartered accountants), Er (engineer) are all unofficial. On Wikipedia, even doctors and defence personnel articles have only their names. The ranks/titles are mentioned in the article body. See WP:NAMES. Thanks!
Everyone has teething problems, please follow the links in the Welcome message above to learn more about editing Wikipedia. For example each edit on a talk page is to be followed by four tildes like this ~~~~, please do so. Also each edit in the thread is to be given one extra indent by adding colons ":".

Speedy deletion nomination of K.A.Senthil Velan I.P.S
Hello Frozenprakash,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged K.A.Senthil Velan I.P.S for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
I've taken off the speedy delete tag, so it won't be speedy deleted, however it can be deleted in other ways. Please add more sources, also don't copy paste like you seem to have done the last time. I looked but didn't find more on him, added one little bit. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sign your posts
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
There are a few non RS which call Senthilvelan the "real hero" the "real world Singham", what is the story, is he covered better in Tamil sources? You could share Tamil sources too. I'd advice creating a note, pasting the original verbatim as a quote, providing a translation of the quote, and paraphrasing for use in the article. We need more substance for the article to survive, it may be sent to AfD any time. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 05:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Your image
Regarding the image File:Durga shakthi nagpal IAS.jpg which you uploaded: it is not your own image, it has unclear copyrights. It has no fair-usage claims, and will be deleted soon, like the previous one added by Gokulchandola (see this). Please read WP:NFC#UUI. You can only upload images taken by your own camera, or those that clearly mention we can use them in their copyright information. So I am going to remove that image from the Durga Shakti Nagpal article. I know you mean well, but you have to edit keeping these essential rules in mind.

Image copyrights
Hi Anir1uph, then how to get copyrights for images ?
because we wont be the photographers of the famous personnels ??
That is what the policy says - that if the person is alive, there should not be a problem in getting their image from a free source. The other possibility is that the image was already released with a Creative Common license by the photographer or imaging authority. See my uploads at Commons. Some of those images are licensed by the Indian Navy, some are licensed by the US government - both allowing the free use of their image. The third way is to directly contact the photographer, and ask them if they are willing to release the photograph under a Creative Commons license. If they agree, you can upload that image to Wikipedia and send an email containing the proof of the photographer's consent to OTRS. Anir1uph | talk | contrib17:44, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, most assume the President to be head of state for the simple reason the President is the head of state. The Chancellor is the head of government, not the head of state. --Caballito (talk) 16:02, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Point is, you may present your proposal to not have the head of state in front to the community. Maybe you should start with putting Queen Elisabeth to the second place behind the prime minister. Until then, head of state comes first. --Caballito (talk) 20:23, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/K. A. Senthilvelan until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. TheLongTone (talk) 14:55, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Minor edits
Hello Frozenprakesh,
I have noticed that most of your edits are marked as minor. You should not be doing this. The minor edit mark is only for things like correcting spelling errors, see WP:MINOR for more details. For instance this edit radically changed the meaning of the text and is therefore not minor. It was also completely incorrect and needed to be reverted. this edit changed the value of numerical data and is therefore by definition not minor. I normally revert on sight changes to numbers that are not accompanied by a reference, but in this case you seem to be right. Both those changes were small, but they are not minor, there is a big difference. SpinningSpark11:24, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh fine, i'll restrain using "Minor tag" for subsequent edits..

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curbon7 was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Sekar Reddy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Sekar Reddy, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Hello, Frozenprakash!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Curbon7 (talk) 22:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to O. Panneerselvam. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 18:40, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:SpaceX Starship, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Tarl N. (discuss) 00:09, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
