IP block exemption

Hi, you can make a request for IP block exemption. See this. That way your account will not be blocked by any checkuser, for whatever edits someone else may have done from an account created using your IP. Joyson Noel ^{Holla at me!} 15:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Joyson, thanks for the note :) . But I think I'll pass this time, because my IP range is quite a rare one. I'll request for it if I see the need. Thanks again :) Lynch 7 20:05, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mr. Michael, I wish to remind you that you had "linked" this article to my page. It is now nearly one month, I request you to please make it full fledge an "Article". Gespee (talk) 21:05, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Mike, I hope you don't mind, but i've undone your move of this page to articlespace, it is a complete and utter mess and nowhere near ready to be an article--Jac16888 ^Talk 11:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind of course. Yeah, it is a complete mess. I was hoping that the original author would take some steps to clean it up. Lynch 7 14:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Purswani Family Tree

I appreciate that you moved my draft in to mainspace on 12/06/11, saying that the draft is "passable" and cleaning can be done. But Mr. Jac has objected and shifted back to my userspace. I request you to please help me. I am 72 years old person and do not know the moderen tacts to handle. I request you to please help me in doing the needful so that the draft (user:gespee/purswani) can go to mainspace of articles. Thanks.Gespee (talk) 17:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Mikelynch, I am grateful that you have tidied up the article very satisfactory. I request you to please shift the article to the space of "articles". Thanks. Gespee (talk) 02:29, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice

Hi,

I am sure you follow what you preach. Also please not the Golden Rule & the Silver Rule, a few fundamental moral rules. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 08:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Any comments on why talkbacks should not be archieved? eg. your edits 1, 2, 3, 4.

Thanks. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 09:04, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, I archive discussions using Miszabot III, and I've set it so that it automatically does the job if the post is older than 10 days. For talkbacks, the thing is that many a times, they don't have timestamps, and so, the bot will not archive them automatically. For that reason alone, I delete talkbacks.

Purswani Family Tree

Dear Mr. MikeLynch, Hi! I am very much disappointed that my article "Purswani Family Tree" has not been shifted to space of article upto writing of this note. The "Purswani Family" is having very ancient roots and still survying and spread throughout world which is amazing. By not this article a suitable space, viewers are being deprived of this knowledge. I therefore request you to please explain Mr. Jac and shift the article to space of articles. Thanks.Gespee (talk) 17:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Gespee, the article has been moved to article space. You can find the article here at Purswani. Thanks. Lynch 7 09:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey Mike, Could you please undo this edit by User:Kandathil. He has blindly reinstated Malayalam as a major language. Thanks, — Abhishek ^{Talk to me} 06:23, 25 June 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)

Shriya Saran assessment

What more do you think it needs to reach GA? 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. Lynch 7 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). Lynch 7 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). Lynch 7 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. Lynch 7 15:05, 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. Lynch 7 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. Lynch 7 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)

Rohilkhand university is a reputed Government University overall India... this university is graded A by NAAC recently...and graded A++ by Career 360 magazine...as a top engineering college in india... I want to attach my college in your page....

and i also want a help from u..that how can i attach a picture to the page of MY university I edited...which u can see in the ranking page designed by u...

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! Lynch 7 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 ([email protected]) 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)

Proposed deletion of List of Indian engineering college rankings

The article List of Indian engineering college rankings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Ranked lists are copyrighted by the publishers of these lists (e.g. Outlook, India Today or Dataquest). 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)
