Lynch7 05:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC) Bishop Cottons Hi, Is there a particular reason you removed the school song and the house songs from the Bishop Cotton's article? What does rm songs mean? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KaranJoseph (talk • contribs) 22:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC) (talk page stalker) Mike would have removed (rm stands for removed) the school song and house songs as they are not encyclopedic. Please go through WP:NOT for more. —  Abhishek  Talk 04:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC) GOCE drive invitation Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way!

We have found in the past that there was a lot more information, but all the references were tagged as unreliable. Then by the time all of those sources and their info was removed, it was said the article was not comprehensive enough. Seems like a no win situation. Hard to get GA quality material on minor stars. And yet I see a GA like Ranveer Singh, who is a very minor star, but he is from Hindi films, where sources are "more reliable". What do you think? BollyJeff || talk 14:02, 6 July 2011 (UTC) I agree with you. In fact, I think its quite good for GA, with some MOS improvements (like section headers). Also, the transliteration should be in Tamil, because she is basically a Tamil actor. Lynch7 14:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC) You could ask for a Peer review, where you'll get detailed comments (I can't give out GAs as part of assessment). Lynch7 14:12, 6 July 2011 (UTC) She was born in the Hindi region of India, and her website says that her mother language is Hindi, so I suppose that matters more than what films she acts in. I worked on this article for a while to get it to GA, but it failed for the reasons above. You can look at the notes on the review here for the details. I have been wanting to improve it and get it promoted, but its hard to find good sources. Your additional comments would be appreciated. BollyJeff || talk 14:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC) There was a similar discussion at Deepika Padukone, it doesn't really matter where she was born, its where she is most noted that is important. Anyway, I'll try and give detailed input, I'll probably even try and improve the article; probably tomorrow (IST). Lynch7 14:58, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Then you get into "well she's done as many Telugu films as Tamil...", blah, blah. I personally hate those scripts for the division that they cause, and would like to see them banned from the en.wiki. Anyway, I look forward to what you can do, thanks. BollyJeff || talk 15:03, 6 July 2011 (UTC) That's true actually, such debates can go on. Forget that, we can discuss that at a later date. Lynch7 15:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Barnstar The India Barnstar I hereby award this barnstar to User:MikeLynch for his help and contributions to the assessment dept. of Wikiproject India. In particular, for clearing the backlog of articles for which assessment was requested. Keep it up! Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC) S. P. Balasubrahmanyam Hi, thanks for re-assessing the article. But I don't think it deserves a "B" Class. A lot of work needs to be done and I am planning to spend some time on that article. --Commander (Ping Me) 16:33, 6 July 2011 (UTC) I kinda agree. But I gave B class because it was pretty comprehensive, and has no serious problems. Though yes, sections have to be expanded. For a popular singer like SPB, it has a lot of potential. Lynch7 16:48, 6 July 2011 (UTC) If you don't mind can you re-assess Mani Ratnam. I believe the article is currently in a good shape. --Commander (Ping Me) 16:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Sure. I'm inclined to give a C class. Large paragraphs are unsourced. Lynch7 17:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC) Ya, you're right. Will improve that article too. Thanks again. --Commander (Ping Me) 05:36, 7 July 2011 (UTC) Peer Review I had submitted this article for a peer-review long back. Can you post your suggestions. --Commander (Ping Me) 08:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC) I'll do that once I'm back from a break :) Lynch7 12:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC) Re: Vadama Thanks a lot! :) By the way, I've submitted C. Rajagopalachari for a peer-review. Can you review the article and give your comments?-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service 07:15, 8 July 2011 (UTC) Sure! Once I'm back from a break that is. :) Lynch7 12:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC) about ranking of MJPRU Hii mike.. myself Utkarsh Pandey from INDIA... The Institute Of Engineering & Technology, M.J.P.

With Regards.. Utkarsh Pandey — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utkarsh1992 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 8 July 2011 (UTC) Hi Utkarsh, thank you for replying. I understand that you want to list your university in the rankings page, but if you will notice, only colleges that were ranked are listed on that page. It is possible that your university did not participate. It does not appear in those rankings, hence, it does not feature there in the list. About images, Wikipedia has a strict policy on images you can upload. Ideally, you can upload images that you took yourself, you can also upload images which are in the public domain, or those which have some copyleft licenses. Simply speaking, you cannot lift off an image from Google Images or your college website and upload them to Wikipedia. You can do the actual uploading at commons:Special:UploadWizard. Welcome to Wikipedia! Lynch7 17:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC) PPI Assessment research gets some attention! Hi MikeLynch, I wanted to let you know that FactCompany.com reported the Public Policy Initiative research. They noticed all of our hard work on article quality assessment! And, I presented some preliminary results of the Public Policy Initiative today at the Wikipedia in Higher Education Summit; it was very well received by academics. They were impressed with the rigor of the research and that is due in part to your efforts. So yet again, Thank YOU! I will keep you posted as I continue to get the results out there. Also, if you would like a token of appreciation (aka Wikipedia swag) send me an email (aroth@wikimedia.org) with your address and I will get a package out to you later this month. all the best, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 02:32, 9 July 2011 (UTC) how to upload a own clicked photo first of all thanks Mike for ypur reply... can u please tell me that how can i upload ny own taken photo at the page of my university...— Preceding unsigned comment added by Utkarsh1992 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 9 July 2011 (UTC+5.5) (UTC) (talk page stalker) Hello Utkarsh.

Compiling these lists from various websites and publishing it on Wikipedia doesn't make it GFDL. While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons. 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. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  – ∃ Aditya 7  ¦  09:55, 9 July 2011 (UTC) To delete a page How can i delete a page created by me..??

He knew only Kannada and Marathi(Mother tongue) and he learnt tamil after moving to chennai. He is no doubt belongs to Kannadigas as well tamil. Hope this clears question of kannada transliteration in the literature. Rajnikant may be the name given by tamil director but the person roots are from Karnataka hence transliteration in kannada will not impair the reputation of the person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indian born (talk • contribs) 19:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC) I'm afraid Rajini's repute was gained in the Tamil film industry, and that is the primary reason why his name is not given in any other language. (In fact, his roots are in Maharashtra, not Bangalore). Lynch7 19:17, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
