Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In {{{{{subst|}}}#if:Taj Mahal|your recent edit to :Taj Mahal|one of your recent edits}}, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. {{{2|Thank you.}}} Greswik 19:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Dear Universe=atom, Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but your linking (in Taj Mahal) and referencing (on the India page) are both excessive. Please read WP:MOS for a guide to editing. Thanks! Fowler&fowler«Talk» 17:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

:Thanks for your post, but your linking is excessive. As a new comer, you should first read WP:MOS, rather than frenetically linking everything in sight. All your edits on the India page and on Taj Mahal have now been reverted and the latter caused a lot of headache. If you persist, it will be considered vandalism. Also, please don't leave any more messages on my talk page; bring it up on the relevant article talk page(s). Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 18:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

::Thank you for telling me. From now on, as I learn new rules on Wikipedia, I shall try to be more careful in what I wikilink. Thank you again; it is by the telling of others that I know my mistakes on Wikipedia. Universe=atom 14:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Universe=atom,

It is generally considered bad form to blank (or delete content from) your own talk page, unless there is offensive language in a post. The usual custom on WP is to archive post, when a large number has accumulated, not to delete them as you did [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Universe%3Datom&oldid=124420241 here]. Thanks. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 11:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

:Thank you for telling me. Can you please revert my deletion, for I do not yet know how to do so? Universe=atom 11:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I see you have been editing India-related articles quite a lot, and also have participated in WP:INCOTW nomination procedure. History of India will probably be next week's INCOTW. We hope to improve the article substantially. At present, the article is dingy and lacks inline citations. Please continue your edits, but please also read the wikipedia guidelines (as mentioned in previous posts in your talk pages).

Meanwhile, you can try editing Education in India which is this week's INCOTW. Here are some links you may be interested in:

Hi Universe=Atom, Can you please let us know if you are also using the Johnsmithcba account since, as Fowler&fowler pointed out [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:India&diff=126374716&oldid=126371254] your edit patterns are suspiciously similar, and are reminiscent of sockpuppeteer Nikkul ? Also your previous blanking of your user page and recent archiving of the Talk:India page (upto and including F&F's query), do not raise confidence. So, I request you to clarify once and for all, if or if not you are Nikkul and/or Johnsmithcba. I apologize for this seeming assumption of bad faith, but the India page has recently had a bad experience with sock-puppets and no one wants to go through that again. Thanks.

Dear Universe=atom,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that {{{1|at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username={{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}}&site=en.wikipedia.org here])}}}.

Sorry, I got busy with other stuff and forgot to answer your post on my talk page. I don't have any prejudice against you. I only react to what people say or do on a page, not who they are (which in any case I don't know anything about). When you made the change on the India page which provided a link to all the names of India in different languages, I thought it was a good edit and I was quick to praise you. So, please don't think that I bear any ill-will against you (as a person). I don't. Regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 21:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I dont see where they accuse you of being a sock of KH. I dont think they're accusing you of being a sock of anybody else other than John. If you're innocent, dont worry about anything. I've been through baseless accusations myself. Several checkusers have been filed against me and several users have trolled on wikipedia including an admin have taken undue advantage of it in bad faith. You will just have to be thick-skinned about it and continue to edit in good faith and contribute to the project. Also dont be scared of anyone. Policies and guidelines govern all of us. So if somebody's being rude to you or if they're throwing around baseless accusations and calling you names etc., do not mince any words in pointing out to them that they are in violation of wiki policies. If they persist, report them to an admin or on WP:ANI, but avoid stooping to their levels and responding in kind. Ping me if you need any help. Sarvagnya 18:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah, where did they call you my SOCK but suspect John is your sock(won't comment on it). Don't they know I wear only branded stuff.

On a serious note, nobody can bully you by calling you a sock without proof. If they do report them to a neutral admin. Suspicious ppl suspect everything.....that doesn't imply you need to worry about them. Let them do their work(ie. suspect) and you do your work(ie. edit). Don't let these issues stop you.But after this comment I am afraid they not further suspect 'I am Nikkul's sock' or 'he is my sock' or 'we are both socks of u' or 'you are a sock of both of us both' or 'you are a sock of me and i m a sock of Nikkul' 'or maybe I am a sock you and you are a sock of Nikkul' or 'we all our socks of someone else'.

But now I will have to keep distance from you and Nikkul especially. Man what am I saying. I am contradicting whatever I have just said above.

I'll talk to Fowler&Fowler abt this whole wrangle.KnowledgeHegemony 10:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi U=A, I noticed that you often spell out centuries (eg. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_mathematics&diff=135840322&oldid=135839171 18th-> eighteenth] with edit summary "18th should be eighteenth"). Can you please clarify which wikipedia style guide you are following, since WP:DATE contains no such injunction, or even specify a preference, and gives examples for both uses ? Furthermore, you'll note that Eighteenth century is in fact a redirect to 18th century!

Note too that not using a serial comma is not a grammatical error and the wikipedia MoS allows its use/non-use as long as ambiguity is avoided. That aside, in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_mathematics&diff=135840719&oldid=135840322 this edit]

you changed the punctuation within quoted text, which is a no-no unless there is a strong justification for doing so (and even in that case the reader needs to be told that the quoted text has been tampered).

Finally note that according to WP:NUM#Numbers_in_words, "Whole numbers from zero to ten should be spelled out", while, "Numbers above ten may be written out if they are expressed in two or fewer words" (emphasis added). I point this out simply because your edit summary [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_mathematics&diff=135839171&oldid=135838014 here] was incorrect, even though the edit itself was fine.

Hope you'll treat the above comments as friendly pointers rather than admonishments. I just thought it would be better to explain my reasoning for undoing some of your edits in detail here, rather than in a 4-5 word edit summary. Cheers. Abecedare 19:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

: Thanks for your reply and understanding. I should have also clarified in my earlier post that none of your edits (except the one that changed quoted text) are fundamentally "wrong" and I could see your good-faith reasoning behind each edit. However since wikipedia is edited by so many editors, following different grammatical conventions/traditions, it is usually best to follow the wikipedia manual of style whenever possible - else every editor trying to "correct" wikipedia articles according to their (justifiable) preference will only lead to revert wars, bruised egos and anarchy (as if, we don't have enough of those already! :-) ).

Hi, I noticed that someone had queried, "What wonders might that be?" in reference to the Taj Mahal (in the WP:FPC section). Although it is commonly said that the Taj (or the Great Wall of China) is one of the Seven Wonders, the more common Seven Wonders are the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (i.e. the seven wonders of classical antiquity), a list that did not include the Taj. You might want to change your post to one of the lists on the "Seven Wonders" page above to which the Taj does belong (Medieval, or Tourist). No big deal though.

Hello, I am a recent edits' patroller. While patrolling, I obviously come upon vandals, the edits of whom I of course revert. I was wondering, though, if I am allowed to give a warning to a vandal (such as the ones in Wp:vandal#Warnings) even though I am not an administrator. I was wondering this because on the warnings, it states that "...if you continue, you will be blocked..." Obviously, since I am not an admin, I do not have the ability to block users, but on the warnings, it looks that I can do so. So, am I allowed to give out these warnings? Also, please reply on my talk page instead of here. Thank you. Universe=atom^{•Talk•Contributions•} 16:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i came across your page via FPC, and i thought i should point out a flaw in the 'Etymology' section of your user page. According to the law of conservation of matter, atoms are only preserved for basic chemical reactions. Once you get into nuclear reactions ( which i thought you guys would be familiar with ;), see India_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction ), this does not apply and atoms are split all the time. Anyway i just though i'd let you know.

I've noticed on many FACs that you advise the addition of a See also section, which goes against the WP:MOS, specifically WP:LAYOUT#See also. Ideally, any links worth having should be incorporated into the text, and many well-written articles have no See also section for that reason; your advice to add a See also section is confusing and often incorrect.

I want to bring it up to the level of this article and then work on the Science and technology in ancient India (rename it 'History of science and technology in India') article and then perhaps add a section like this one in the India article.

Thanks in advance, South Block (talk) 09:11, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Saturn know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 4, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 4, 2011. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director {{user|Raul654}} or his delegate {{user|Dabomb87}}, or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

File:Saturn during Equinox.jpg

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter, with an average radius about nine times larger than the Earth's. Saturn is named after the Roman god Saturn, equated to the Greek Cronus (the Titan father of Zeus), the Babylonian Ninurta and the Hindu Shani. Saturn's astronomical symbol (♄) represents the Roman god's sickle. Along with Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, Saturn is a gas giant. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets, meaning "Jupiter-like". Saturn has a ring system that is divided into nine continuous and three discontinuous main rings (arcs), consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. Sixty-two known moons orbit the planet; fifty-three are officially named. This does not include the hundreds of "moonlets" within the rings. Titan, Saturn's largest and the Solar System's second largest moon (after Jupiter's Ganymede), is larger than the planet Mercury and is the only moon in the Solar System to retain a significant atmosphere.

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide.

Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indian Sports Teams & Players 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 template from the top of the article. — Bill william compton^Talk 16:48, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
