Indo-Pakistani wars and conflictsHi, you removed an image, can you link the policy that states one image given a fair use rational can not be used on another wiki article? And if at all this image has something like that? --lTopGunl (talk) 10:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC) Noteworthy Wikimedian Recognition 2011

An Invite to join the WikiProject Offline Wikipedia for Indian Schools
naveenpf (talk) 02:54, 7 December 2011 (UTC) OWISHi Utcursch, thanks for your edits. Truth be told, there is some confusion in the linking. The adding of content has not yet been completed. So dont be surprised to find the page content moved. :) The revised aim is to fix the scope for each subject in the OWIS-FULL and then contract the list to minimum possible for OWIS-500. (OWIS = Offline Wikipedia for Indian Schools. AshLin (talk) 07:09, 7 December 2011 (UTC) Offline WikipediaHi, the Offline Wikipedia project has been formally announced on Wikimedia-I list, wikipedia-in-eng list and on the India-noticboard which you may like to read.

Collapsed templates in QawwaliHi there! For some reason, "Islamic Culture" is not showing in collapsed form. "Pakistani Music" and "Indian Music" are probably much more relevant. Right now they are being overshadowed by the uncollapsed "Islamic Culture". If it can't be made to collapse, perhaps they should all be uncollapsed? Thanks! --Sarabseth (talk) 12:22, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Possible sock of Mughal LoharSir the IP address 182.182.0.181 seems to be sock of the banned user User:Mughal Lohar. There is some similarity in edits in the article Battle of Panipat (1761). He is deleting Ibrahim Khan Gardi again and again from the list of Maratha commanders. Please have a check : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Panipat_(1761)&action=history — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamlesh-rattan (talk • contribs) 14:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC) Sir can u please semi-protect the article Third battle of Panipat to prevent sock edits by Mughal Lohar? Today u have reverted his edits, but tomorrow he will come again with some new IP. He has a long history of vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamlesh-rattan (talk • contribs) 06:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Ging gang goolie, scouting song with several possible mythsI notice that Utcursh did some excellent work on the Ging gang goolie wiki article. Now I would invite you to revisit this article and participate in the discussion. We, my twin brother and me (born 1947), have during several years researched "Ging gang goolie" (and some various langugage and music versions), its origin, its possible meaning and its road to fame. The sources have been libraries and archives inside and outside Scandinavia as well as contacts with linguists and with the music industry. And of course the web. Our dedication has been boosted by a family tradition to sing “Ging gang goolie” (Scandinavian spelling, same melody) at family gatherings (started well before 1950 with our grandfather, 1882-1960), plain curiosity and a zeal for scientific research, in other words to find and evaluate relevant evidence. We now want to share our humble findings of this research. We understand there are four main myths? regarding “Ging gang goolie” all over the web. Some have been discussed previously. I. Robert Baden-Powell as originator: no evidence found (rather the opposite), highly improbable II. The music used was written by Mozart, 1st symphony: no evidence found, influence possible III. Exotic place as origin: many suggestions, none seem to be verified by evidence IV. Meaning of the lyrics among others indecent/vulgar/obscene: many suggestions, none seem to be verified by evidence Please ref Wikipedia Discussion on "Ging gang goolie" for a more detailed discussion Talk:Ging_Gang_Goolie Brommabo (talk) 19:23, 22 January 2012 (UTC) I note you purged the history to get rid of the woman's name. There's now a redirect from the woman's name to the article which I guess ought to be deleted and salted. Regards, Bazj (talk) 15:22, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
You deserve a barnstar, and you just got one!
Oops!I guess my twinkle-CSD hit in the split second where you recreated the article before userfying, and identified you as the creator. Sorry. Bazj (talk) 10:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Arindam ChaudhuryCopied from the original talk page to yours. Please stop reverting the edits: (1) The source is not the unpublished book. The source is a published article, which qualifies as a reliable source as per Wikipedia's existing guidelines. Please stop making your own guidelines about what qualifies as a reliable source. (2) You're reverting the entire set of changes blindly -- not all of them are based on the article you're talking about. (3) Please read the Wikipedia policies on conflict of interest, if you've any connections with IIPM or Arindam Choudhuri. utcursch | talk 15:59, 1 February 2011 (UTC) (1)The article that you say has not been written for the caravan, it has been written for unpublished book. This was not the case then the caravan would not have written "printed from the book" (2) Sorry for reverting all changes... (3) I saw on your page, your are a management schools student in Mumbai, therefore I think you have a confilcts of interests editing an article about another management schools professor . so please read the guidelines your selves and clarify on the articles talk page about the conflicts of interests you have.You are administrator OTRS user, I expected higher ethic and value from you.

This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_- _New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

Editing of User:KrantmlvermaMy dear Utcursch! Actually it was not my intention at all to blame anybody for confrontation whether he be you or any other. It was my finding based on the talks with three living persons at the time of my earlier research. They were: (1) - Manmathnath Gupta, (2)- Prem Krishna Khanna and (3) - Ram Krishna Khatri; who provided me rare photographs and other related informations. I can show them to anybody. If you are interested you may visit my residence any time and see them. I have already given very rare photographs and other facts in my book Swadhinta Sangram Ke Krantikari Sahitya Ka Itihas which was published in 2006 by my regular publisher. Even then if my fellow wikipedians do not want I am the least interested to place them before the wikipedia viewers. Hope you would not mind it and excuse me for anything that might have hurt your sentiments anyway. Yours very truely,Dr.'Krant'M.L.Verma (talk•Email) Krantmlverma (talk) 16:05, 29 February 2012 (UTC) Regional Science Centre, BhopalDear Utcursch, |
