: In general, no. Because rollback (true rollback, this doesn't apply as much to some of the Twinkle flavors) marks its edits as minor and doesn't give a descriptive edit summary, it's very harsh for any sort of usage outside of vandalism. There are a few other cases -- rolling back your own edits is generally okay (you're not going to complain!), and it does get used in undoing Very Big Messes sometimes, but mostly it comes down to reverting vandalism. This is all laid out more fully at [[Wikipedia:Rollback#When_to_use_rollback]]. Drop me a note if you have more questions.

In general, I check in with Wikipedia under this account around everyday usually in afternoon (also sometimes in morning). I try to check back in at least once more during night or evening. On weekends, I am often not here. When you loaded this page, it was 14:04 14 November 2024 (UTC+5.5). Refresh your page to see what time it is now.

Hi. :) I see you asked multiple people (including me) the same question ([1], [2], [3], [4]). This is generally not a good idea, since that means you will have multiple people potentially researching the answer for you and, if somebody else has already answered you, spending time on unproductively on redundant labor. Why not ask your question at a forum like Wikipedia:Help, where multiple people (who probably know the answer) will see it? Alternatively, unless it's legitimately urgent, it may be better to ask one person if they know and, if they don't, then ask somebody else. If it's urgent and you do feel you need to ask multiple people at the same time, please let them know that you're asking other people as well and when the question is no longer necessary as a courtesy to them. Thanks.
Well, I think I should add one more point :) When you're asking a script, or whatsoever, created by a person, it's best not to ask someone who doesn't know of it. Instead, ask the respective person involved directly. That makes it easy. I hope you remember this. Otherwise, I must salute your enthusiasm. Also, Vibhijain and me are good wiki friends, and are working together at WP:IPL. Regards, Dipankan(Have a chat?)11:56, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, {{subst:PAGENAME}}! We are looking for editors to join WikiProject Indian Premier League, an collaborative group which aims to support development of Indian Premier League related articles in Wikipedia. We thought you might be interested, and hope that you will join us. Joining us helps to improve the quality of Indian Premier League-related articles which are not in a good condition. I hope that you won't dismiss this request. We trust you, Tamravidhir, and we know that you have a lot of interest in this area. So why wait? Join fast! Thanks, and happy editing!
I have had a glance at the article. I can not understand your request completely– are you asking me to edit or do GA review? If I edit ot contribute anyhow now I can do GA review! --Tito Dutta✉12:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion on getting help Quickly without spamming
Please stop SpammingHi Tamravidhir, I see from your recent contributions on Special:Contributions/Tamravidhir that you have copy pasted a same message on so many editors talk page. I am assuming you have good intentions of improving this article but please note that suuch mass spamming is neither encouraged nor accepted. Please follow the suggestions on Wikipedia:Good articles to understand what steps to follow and how to get an article to GA. I am disappointed and I will not be participating on that article because of this mass spamming.--DBigXray13:45, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I understand you..if to say then still I am a newbie, please don't refuse at first, you should have given me first warning saying that why are you doing so? Please I too did not like this. I feel myself to be abused. Please I am junior than you so please don't warn me like this. Thank you. (Hope you understand my feelings) --Tamravidhir(২০১২) 13:58, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Change the title from "Please stop Spamming" to "Suggestion"! Remove that image too! Tamra is a 14 year old youngster! And Tamra, don't post the same message in everyone;'s talk page! I can see Moonriddengirl is already helping, so other should not hurry here! --Tito Dutta✉14:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please understand that I have no intention of abusing you, but please do not continue this. Moonridden Girl had already told you in the above section and you said you will follow it. I believe you did this and posted to so many talk pages to get quicker help,
Thank you! By the way Tito it's DBigXray (DBX) not DBigZray (were you trying to make me laugh) and DBX it's Moonriddengirl not Moonridden Girl. Secondly, Tito meet DBX and DBX meet Tito. :D --Tamravidhir(২০১২) 14:19, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Explain how, why and where you need attention from other users? Did you read appropriate use of WP:CANVAS? If editors are related to an issue, you can notify them in their talk pages! Anyway, explain how, why and where you need attention from other users?--Tito Dutta✉14:34, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can ask help at the talk page of the wikiproject in quuestion, eg WT:INDIA. or you can ask 1 or 2 editors who you know are active in that particular topic. You should be more specific in your questions and ask to the point
You can search in Commons, try to use PD-1923 and PD-US images, currently a discussion is going on on PD-India images
I have not checked copyvio. Close paraphrasing was Moonriddengirl's comment.
Ya, some more reliable citations needed! I could add CN tags in article. Since GA review is going on, let's wait for that and I need bit rest too for the day! --Tito Dutta✉14:46, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Vidhir, I would like to nominate the following two articles for WP:GA status, but before that they would require some additions and improvements. Abhay Sopori is an article created by my recently, and the other is R.N. Kao, the spymaster. Would really appreciate it if you could help me out with a free picture of Abhay sopori. I am also trying to get one from my sources but that could take time. Tito has provided some resourced to search for free images, but I haven't succeeded in finding one of Abhay yet.

Hi Tamravidhir, I have removed the reference you recently added to the Red Fort article. Websites like roseindia.net, whereinindia.net, rrindia.com, burrp.com etc. fall in the category of Self-published sources. These cannot be considered to be reliable fact checking sources. You can however use government websites, websites of government agencies like the Archaeological Survey of India etc. as references. Otherwise, your contributions to the article were extremely helpful. Keep them coming. Correct Knowledge«৳alk»16:04, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
are you aware of Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user ? I think you are a very promising new editor, and you will improve a lot if you get guidance by an experienced user or admin. Take a look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user and Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area . There is a list of editors from where you can go and post a message on their talk page for that. That will be very helpful for you, so that you do not make mistakes here unknowingly. What is your opinion about you. Please let me know. cheers--DBigXray18:03, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, I still have confusions..after adoption what will happen..will I be able to leave adoption..how is it..what happens..what are the consequences...please reply..Tamravidhir(২০১২) 05:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) Can I clarify? Tito is talking about DBigXray's message above. If you want to be guided by an experienced editor or admin you can choose them from the list of guides and request them to accept you as an adoptee on their talk page. Have a look at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area. Adoption is not permanent and you graduate out of it. Basically, your mentor/adopter answers your questions and offers you friendly advice and support. They will also help you with policy interpretation and conflict management till you don't need them anymore. If you look at the list carefully, you'll notice that Tito is also a guide. So.... Correct Knowledge«৳alk»05:59, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To explain more– after applying for adoption, the editor you'll choose, you have to go to his or home and need to stay there for 3 months. There you will have to follow strict routine. Waking up at 4 AM in the morning and till midnight you have to read long long pages on Wikipedia rules and guidelines and you have to memorize each and every word of every page. In short you have to take a course. And after 3 months when you'll complete the course you'll become Jimbo Wales part II.
I still have confusions..after adoption what will happen
You will get an experienced user who will help you to learn your ways here, how to get things done, he will be a mentor. and will make sure you are able to grasp all that. there will not be any time limit for that, you can grasp on your speed.
..will I be able to leave adoption..
Yes its totally voluntary, if you dont like a mentor you can leave him whenever you want, you can also be mentored by another user.
how is it..what happens..
Its awesome, basically you will be asked to read a few pages and the mentor will explain the related things and ask you few questions.
what are the consequences...
you will become a good editor, who knows all the important things. you will not make mistakes, and after some experience you can become an admin.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an adopter neither i am on that list,but my personal experience says, if the mentor has been here for long or he is an admin, then his advice will be very valuable. Choice is yours Cheers.--DBigXray20:45, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:C.I.D. (TV series) Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:C.I.D. (TV series) Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:11, 15 October 2012 (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.
Hi. :) I'm afraid that semiprotection might not be that helpful. :/ The last person to edit the article in a way that you reverted was a registered user who would not have been impacted. It hasn't been that heavily edited over the past several days. I would recommend you try to complete the work, and if IP disruption continues or resumes revisit the question. --Moonriddengirl(talk)12:51, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's not really a rationale. You need to explain what exactly those two images are meant to illustrate. Why do you need these screenshots? What in the article are they meant to illustrate?

The easiest thing to do is to create a new subpage in your userspace (e.g. User:Tamravidhir/Userbox), then copy the syntax of an existing userbox there and amend it accordingly. You're welcome to use one of mine (try User:Yunshui/Userbox Yang style) as a basis if you like; just change the text and image to whatever you deem appropriate. Let me know if you need more help.

Forgot to add - once you've done that, you can then use it on your userpage by transcluding it like any other template (for the example above, you'd use {{User:Tamravidhir/Userbox}}). Yunshui雲水09:42, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tamravidhir, I saw your post on Moonriddengirl's talk page, where you wrote, "I have nothing much to do on Wikipedia. Please suggest anything."
I don't know if this is something that you could do, but I've had the Kalampattu article in my watchlist for some time, after trying to clean it up and add a reference in 2010. I've noticed that subsequent edits to the article have introduced new problems (unreferenced material, spelling, capitalisation, punctuation, grammar, etc). My problem is that this topic is totally outside my field (I'm English, living in UK, and have no knowledge of Indian culture and languages, so can only search for references on English medium sites). The article could do with some serious background research, good quality references, then proper structuring, rewriting in correct grammatical English, and a balanced view of the subject. Is this something you'd like to tackle?
Hebrides, (Hebrides? I like that name, I have read this name in the Solitary Reaper. As far as I know they are a group of lonely islands) thank you giving me the opportunity to edit Kalampattu. As you know (I hope you know) India is a country which is multicultured whith different communities living in the country. Kalampattu is a traditional art form of Kerala in south India. I am a Bengali, rather a North Indian. If you give me some thing related to Rajasthan, Goa, North India, Bengal, history, novels, Indian soap operas, mythology, Hinduism I may edit them but not anything south Indian culture. i know nothing about their culture. I hope you may find it strange that I don't know anything about my own culture, but I don't know everything about them. And secondly if something goes wrong then I am chopped, I don't want that. If you can offer any other article as per my interests (for more visit my user page) please feel free to post me. Thank you so so so very very very much! Regards! --Tamravidhir (Jiva is Shiva!) 10:12, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense. India is vast and has such rich and diverse cultures. I hadn't realised you were in the north.
It is really heartwarming to meet someone so enthusiastic about Wikipedia. I don't know what Wikipedia activities you find most satisfying, but I can share with you some of the things I enjoy doing. I think my greatest satisfaction comes from creating new articles – this can be very time consuming, but feels very worthwhile. Sometimes I find a red link in an article, and it prompts me to create a page for it to link to. Sometimes I search Wikipedia for something, and find there is no article. Occasionally I create an article from the list on Wikipedia:Most wanted articles. Or I may find a page on a foreign Wikipedia that doesn't have an equivalent page on English Wikipedia – I can then start from a translation of that page to build an English article.
When creating an article, I first gather all my sources – Google, including Google books and the Google news archive, and then other internet sources as appropriate to my subject (lots of national newspapers have an online archive, for example). I then work out an appropriate structure for the article, and then write each section, including my sources as references using <ref> (I find the "cite" templates very useful), but being careful not to use the same words as in the sources (i.e. avoiding copyright violation). Then the next stages are linking words and phrases to other pages, adding categories, and if appropriate adding an infobox, defaultsort statement, persondata for biographies, images, maps for places, interwiki links if there are any, and possibly a See also and/or External links section. (that's my basic "checklist", anyway)
Personally, I do all this in Notepad, and I don't publish anything on Wikipedia until I think it is complete and finished and I'm happy with it. This avoids somebody deleting it in its early stages! Every so often, I copy from Notepad and paste into a new page on Wikipedia, then use the "Show preview" button to see how it looks and check for errors, but I don't click "Save page".
Then when it is finished, I paste it into a new page, preview carefully, then save the page. I then immediately search Wikipedia for pages that I can link to my new article, and insert wikilinks – this will avoid somebody putting an "Orphan" tag onto the top of your page. Finally, if there are alternative names or spellings for your pagename, create redirect pages. I don't create enormous articles – usually they are about a screenful, and usually have at least five good references if I can find them (and often a lot more). I can tell if an article is reasonably complete if nobody seriously edits or adds anything much to it.
Forgive me if you know all this – I notice you have created a number of pages already.
Apart from creating new articles, another activity I find rewarding is using AutoWikiBrowser, which enables you to do a wide range of routine tidying edits by suggesting the edits and then allowing you to simply click the Save button to accept them. If you opt for RegexTypoFix it also checks 3476 spelling mistake patterns and corrects those too. I tend to load in links to all new pages, then run through them, tidying those that need it.
Well I don't create any article randomly. My one bad habit is that I do the entire article in Wikipedia, see preview ans then save it. Yes it takes time but it is worthwhile. I keep on editing it until it satisfies me. My interests are mainly Indian soap opera, history, heritage, mythology, religion and culture.

List of Episodes deleted
Had added the list of episodes that you have deleted. This was added to have a ready list, as it is available for popular english series like:
In general, no. Because rollback (true rollback, this doesn't apply as much to some of the Twinkle flavors) marks its edits as minor and doesn't give a descriptive edit summary, it's very harsh for any sort of usage outside of vandalism. There are a few other cases -- rolling back your own edits is generally okay (you're not going to complain!), and it does get used in undoing Very Big Messes sometimes, but mostly it comes down to reverting vandalism. This is all laid out more fully at Wikipedia:Rollback#When_to_use_rollback. Drop me a note if you have more questions. Best, --j⚛e deckertalk07:41, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
