Assistance for page mararthwada institute of technology

need inputs on the alunmi section which was posted now that has been deletedRiyakeyatanmayee (talk) 11:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

@Riyakeyatanmayee: First, I left you a message on your talk page regarding possible conflict of interest in regards to Marathwada Institute of Technology, and I ask that you familiarize yourself with that material. Regarding the alumni section that I deleted, the first sentence is completely promotional and has no place in an encyclopedia. As for the rest, none of the actual facts were attributed to reliable independent sources. In general, we are less interested in what the institute has to say about itself and more interested in the commentary of secondary sources. --Muhandes (talk) 14:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Denmark certification guidance

Hi Muhandes regarding this do you think we can leave a note with the certification generated like "Please scroll through the page-list below to obtain certification" or something like that so that a reader/editor has guidance atleast? —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 11:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

@IndianBio: sure thing. I think I can even do slightly better and point at the right date, but this will all have to wait till the weekend when I have a bit more time. I am going on a business trip tomorrow (Hanover again). --Muhandes (talk) 20:01, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

@IndianBio: Done. --Muhandes (talk) 18:55, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

We don't think we have seen the last of this disruptive user based on the racial attacks its resorting to now. I urge you to take action and remove atleast the gross insulting edit summary please. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:44, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@IndianBio: Well, that alone will suffice for block for sure. And I am not even Indian or even ever visited India, but I'm honored. --Muhandes (talk) 10:49, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Pretty sure that was meant for me based on my user name alone *sigh* —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:51, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

"rats" in plural, so I'll assume I'm also a target :) Not that racial insults are foreign to my life experience, at least they reveal their true racist face.--Muhandes (talk) 11:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@IndianBio: I wouldn't jump the trigger if they don't edit disruptively. --Muhandes (talk) 16:47, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Germany

Hi Muhandes, Over at Template:Single chart you've updated Germany however on all articles it now says "songid field is MANDATORY FOR GERMAN CHARTS" - If German charts go by songid then you need to fix each and every article where this template is used, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:07, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

@Davey2010: See discussion at Template talk:Single chart#Parameter name. To summarize, either |id= or |songid= must be used. The former was mandatory for quite a while, I just made the latter a preferable alternative. The message says "songid" because that's the preferable one. We don't need to go over all 6,000 usages and correct it, although I did make a bot request to do that, just for cleanliness. --Muhandes (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Well you can atleast revert this change until you can get something sorted ? .... Given this is used on over 6 thousand articles you need to get a bot to do the updating (or you might be able to use AWB but don't quote me on that), Either way your changes cannot remain as is, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 20:14, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

@Davey2010: I think you misunderstand (or I do). I didn't make |songid= mandatory. There are no 6,000 articles impacted. The change I made has no effect at all on anything since it takes the previous variable as a default. Can you please explain what is the problem? --Muhandes (talk) 23:52, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Addendum: Anyway, this effort is something which is in the doing for maybe six months now. If you have any concerns, why don't you join the discussion at Template talk:Single chart? I am just implementing whatever the consensus is. --Muhandes (talk) 23:58, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

TIU

Since you are the creator of List of private universities in India; would you be able to tell how the wealth of Satyam Roy Chowdhury and Goutam Roy Chowdhury (owners of the Techno India University setup in 2012 with an endowment of 10,000 crore) compares with the other billionaires listed at Forbes list of Indian billionaires. The last one on this list based in Kolkata is Sanjiv Goenka at #77. Solomon7968 13:06, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
