Your reversion on Times of Assam

edit

Dear Shovon 76,

Well, I don't understand how you don't see the source?

You have reverted the Staff writers, where you can see about them in the portal's About us page. Things are are clearly mentioned there.

You have also removed the

 

. I don't understand for the logo, what else source is needed there.

You have reverted/deleted "==Hit by Plagiarism attack==" section. But the source already mentioned. Again FYI, please have a look at: http://www.imediaethics.org/News/2954/Indias_times_of_assam_calls_out_assam_tribune_for_plagiarism.php


I wonder, what wrong with you. I am from India(particularly from the same region where I am editing). And only Indians know better, what is wrong, what is correct here.

When reference is cited, you should have the source first.

But it seems, you are in fun to remove the Indian pages. :)

Your reversion on Jana Gana Mana

edit

Dear Shovon 76, I've restored the factual information I provided about the version "officially" performed, and it is Murrill's version which is the shown in the graphic of the sheet music on the page. Please don't simply change this back again, but courteously contact me in TALK if you wish to debate this. I am a British music critic and writer with particular knowledge of Murrill's work. It is right that the arranger's name should be given, because his "martial.music" version is indeed so different from the fine original. Best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zarzuelauk (talkcontribs) 11:41, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm not talking about Territorial Council, that page is about a "Dimaraji State" not a territorial council. And you've added "three districts" in Dimaraji State? You're wrong in this case, you should create a new page "Dimaraji Territorial Council" which is not equal to a State. You should read that page carefully, at the top it is written "Proposed state Dimaraji". You've reported me, without any confirmation whether "Dimaraji" page is about a state or territorial council. And talking about the boundaries and areas to be carved in proposed Dimaraji state, my status fails due to insufficient sources on net. Hence, that blog was just to show you, not for the sources.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Gautama Buddha, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Aoidh (talk) 15:51, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Regarding your edit summary: If you're going to ask someone to "use talk page before reinserting", it would help if you looked at the talk page you're referring to, since that's already been done. It is also not "POV pushing" to restore sourced content that has been removed without explanation; removing any content that doesn't fit within a particular POV is "POV pushing". - Aoidh (talk) 15:58, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
I can see that you, Aoidh, as one of the editors, who are edit warring on the page. Btw, you have reverted other editors' edits on that page more 5 times in the last 2 days and have removed valid and sourced content, replacing those with fringe theories. Now, if that's NOT POV pushing, then we have to invent a new lexicon. And, THINK TWICE before templating.Shovon (talk) 16:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
If you believe that restoring content by editors who remove anything that doesn't fit their own POV is POV-pushing then I can't really do anything about that; you are welcome to your opinion, such as it is. However, that you reverted citing a lack of use of the talk page highlights the problem with your edit given that there was already a discussion started on the talk page, as well as numerous discussions previously. Given your unexplained blanking of sourced content the template is relevant, and that you believe I removed "valid and sourced content" suggests that you haven't actually looked at the content of the edits or the talk page in any way before reverting. - Aoidh (talk) 16:26, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Let me write the article first, if it is not significant, then do add any deletion tag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S.M.A.A.R (talkcontribs) 09:58, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Janab Deputy Mohammad Syed Khan was a great person ...this article must be added in encyclopedia...

He had always tried uplifting the educational standard of Kamsar-O-Bar throughout his life. He was born in year 1894 in historical village Usia. He was kind hearted, down to earth and soft spoken. After completing his B.A. (Hons.) from Presidency College with first division, he joined Patna College, Patna as a lecturer. Honorable Jaiprakash Narayan was his student. Later, he was appointed as a Deputy Collector in Hajaribad of Bihar.

It was his tireless efforts and sacrifices which proved to be the boon for society and spread the light of education in Kamsar. In 1938, he established Muslim Rajput High School at Dildar Nagar. In 1949, Rajput High school became Muslim Rajput Inter college. Rajput Inter College name got again changed in 1969 and renamed as Syed Kamsar-O-Bar Muslim Inter College, Dildar Nagar (S.K.B.M. Inter Collage, Dildar Nagar). He died in 1966 and got buried in Patna. May Allah grant him peace and highest place in Paradise.

Dy. Syed sb. has devoted his entire life for the welfare and happiness of the people of Kamsar. He always thought above the caste and creed, low and high, poor and rich. He has always dream for the educational advancement of Kamsar. He was used to say that no community, society or region can progress until its educational standard is improved and quality education is made accessible and under the reach of every common people.


There is very famous story about Dy. Syed Sb.: When he was posted as Dy. Collector in Hajaribagh, Bihar, in the same period Mahatma Gandhi was arrested by British Govt. in Hajaribad and Gandhiji appeared before him for a bail. British senior officer advised him not to give the bail to Gandhiji but Dy. Syed was pure nationalist and honest officer, when he did not find any criminal record against Gandhiji then he granted bail to him. As a result British officer called a meeting and miss-behaved with Dy. Syed which he couldn’t tolerated and replied strongly to that officer in the same meeting. Therefore, that senior officer suspended him. He appealed against the decision of this senior officer to the Governor of Bihar. Coincidentally the same officer became Governor of Bihar later then he realized his mistake and called Dy. Syed sb. , apologized to him and restored his job. But in his decision he wrote a word that Dy. Syed shall never be given promotion in his career. It was his one of the great quality that in most of the cases he was used to make the settlement. On 15th August 1947 when India got independence then Politician Shri Jaiprakash Narayan who was the student of Dy. Syed Sb. tried promoting him but he refused saying that it’s not good and desirable that a teacher shall get the promotion from his student. Then Bihar Govt. brought this matter in legislative assembly (Bidhan Sabha) and passed the order stating that he should be given the post of a special Dy. Magistrate till he wanted to serve.

Hello Shovon76. Thank you for tagging an article as a stub. I noticed that you used the {{stub}} template.

For example, you can use {{US-novelist-1960s-stub}} for an American novelist born in the 1960s. Of course, if you can't find a proper category, you can always use the {{stub}} tag and someone else will sort it for you, or you can propose a new stub template or category here. Thanks!

  Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Mumbai Football Arena. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Muneesh Sappel

edit

Hi,

I would like to inform you that this article is false and utter rubbish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muneesh_Sappel and should be deleted immediately. In future, we should make it the point that only admin can create this article.

I am sending you because you are in this article’s View History and you took initiative earlier to delete this article and ignored it later. Muneesh Sappel took advantage of this and written more rubbish than his previous articles.

He is using wikipedia page for his publicity and propaganda. I am quiet shocked there is no article about him on Indian newspapers and on google, what you find one …. Is only one liner. Even images on google also posted by him….. not a single newspaper photos.

In his article most of the awards has won by other cast/ crew but he is showing in his article like he won!!!

Please do see his sixth article which he has written again in 2015: He says he is “Indian and International production designer, art director, costume designer, hair and make-up artist” but there is not a single hint about AWARDS. In his recent updated version he won so many awards, he has become now Indian production designer, art director and costume designer from previous claiming being INTERNATIONAL production designer…

Now he has become an actor, writer, director, poster design, publicity set construction, theatrographer, production assistant, art director… blah blah….

His article deleted many times since past (10 – 12) years and I see he writes article about himself again…. than some same user:Sapna Shrivastav: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SAPNA_SHRIVASTAV who use to write earlier on fake name user:Shruti Narayanan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Shruti95Narayanan takes-over…..

“CONFLICT OF INTEREST”

He is a paid IMDB member, which you can understand… if you are not IMDB paid member. You can’t write anything. Rediff References are bullshit because Sapna Shrivastav works at Rediff. Just see how cleverly he created and designed false newspaper article for reference on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=551791188210278&set=a.345572122165520.79274.100001382062100&type=1&theater

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=542341122488618&set=a.345572122165520.79274.100001382062100&type=1&theater

How someone could use his website as reference, he used it: http://www.indianproductiondesigner.com/PL/profile.php?ref_=nm_awd


For your reference (since 2010 his articles are getting deleted.): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Muneeshsappel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Muneeshsappel — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.59.250.141 (talk) 20:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution

edit

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:

(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.
