Thanks! Debresser (talk) 20:17, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
: Nice collection. I'll see if I can help out.... --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 11:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Did you ever have that look? Debresser (talk) 12:59, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
: I didn't have time to go thru all of them....I had a bit of a time constriction.... I'll go thru it it and let you know in the next week or two. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:34, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
:: There are only 30 there. Those are my "orphans". The rest I have with links to their pages. Thanks, I'll be looking out for your reaction. Debresser (talk) 10:56, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
: I think I recognise a few of them, I'm trying to remember which ones those are. I have a strange feeling that the last one might belong to an anitspyware/av company as yahoo antispyware hade a similar logo. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 15:22, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

[[Transport in India]]
Thanks. Writing in Hindi on computers will be tough for me :) though I can review sometimes if needed. Even in my mother tongue, I find it quite laborsome to write on computers.--GDibyendu (talk) 10:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks for bringing it to my notice. I'm back and active now, and will be editing the article regularly. I think we can go in for a GA shortly :) Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 12:52, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

RE:KK
Thanks. I loved his "Nenaithu Nenaithu" song from 7G and that started my search for his picture. I got lucky in this instance getting the author to change the license from a CC-non-commerical to a regular CC. There are some good souls out there. See comments at [http://www.flickr.com/photos/52985555@N00/3341066166]. I got Resul Pookutty's picture from the same author. Pictures, they make a world of difference for an article.

Speedy deletion tagging
A-7d
It should be just A-7: "An article about a real person, an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people and organizations themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software and so on. The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source. If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion.". I think the "d" was a typo. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
: It should be A-7 on WP:CSD. I meant to type A-7ed, the the e slipped out, as Niteshift36 says, a typo. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 16:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

style="color:#000"|
Congratulations to the West Bengal workgroup for having their flagship article featured on the Main Page! The Indian states workgroup is also involved in maintaining articles about India's states and union territories. »
WikiProject Indian roads was recently started as a new workgroup, to standardize and improve articles related to Indian roads, mainly the National and State Highways. After all, India has the second largest road network in the world. Iravan, the son of Arjuna, is now our 85th good article. How do we know this? Since last year, more processes have been automated, increasing productivity. Article alerts update the project with what's happening to India-related articles, from copyright violations to featured article candidates. |

style="color: #000;" | During the last few weeks, peer reviews for the recent general election and 2003 Afro-Asian Games (held in Hyderabad) were opened and are waiting for more comments, as are several articles at the peer review department. Sikkim has been nominated for FAR, and Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay has been nominated for FAC. »
Currently, {{PAGESINCAT:Wikipedia requested photographs in India}} Indian articles need images. Please improve these pages, especially if you enjoy photography! We look forward to more contributions from you. To get started, go to the noticeboard. » |

! From the editors… |
style="color: #000;" | The last newsletter was written a year ago. In June 2008, Indian Premier League was "hot" on Wikipedia, but the article about this year's IPL has attracted 477 editors, or 53% more than the previous year! Even the number of articles in the scope of our project jumped by a whopping 18,500+ articles in an year. The 3.2-year-old India quiz continues to attract old and new Wikipedians, so join in the fun!
Wikipedians are organizing a meetup in Bangalore on July 4 or 5. If you are interested, head over to the page and add your name! Topics of discussion include Indian language editions of Wikipedia and Wikimedia India. RegentsPark, one of the prominent members of our project, was promoted to adminship this year. If you'd like to know who are the most avid editors of Wikipedia by number of edits, refer to this list. "While this issue has been resolved, one asks the question – what happens when there is a conflict of opinions? What about a Wikipedia entry on India and Pakistan, or the LTTE and the Tamils? Who can edit? Will the information be true?" writes B. Narasimhan of MiD DAY as deeper implications of the Scientology arbitration case,[http://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/2009/jun/030609-Wikipedia-Controversy-Church-of-Scientology-IT-Adda-Bangalore.htm 1] reminding us of the core principles of verifiability and the neutral point of view. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or just start editing! {{-}} Project · Portal · Members · Noticeboard · Discussion[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=edit§ion=new +] |

[[User talk:Nilnone]]
Hi. Just a note re [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Nilnone&diff=295990137&oldid=295984879 this edit]; per WP:BLANKING, editors are permitted to remove warnings from their own talk pages, it's taken as signifying that they have read and understood the message. I remember making this mistake myself a while ago, until someone pointed me to the guidelines. :) – Toon(talk) 22:15, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: Raghuji Karande
INCOTM
Hi, please nominate articles which can be interesting for a general editor of WP:India to contribute. For articles which has POV issues or bias issues etc, can be handled separately. Also, I am not sure whether it will be at all possible to make articles like Cafe Coffee Day to at least GA at this point of time. --GDibyendu (talk) 11:06, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | While a few of us were involved in editing Transport in India and taking it to GA-status, it was your relentless zeal and unflagging determination that saw the article grow from strength to strength. Today, if the article is a far cry from what it was a few months back, a substantial portion of the credit goes to you. Thank you for inspiring me with your enthusiasm to contribute in my small way to the article - you deserve every point of this star. Keep up the great work.
