Rana dynasty[edit]

Hi, I see you are creating articles for each of the Rana rulers. Perhaps it would be better to integrate these biographies into the main Rana dynasty article? When there's enough material for a separate article (like Jang Bahadur) these could be split off. Jihg 17:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lij Iyasu of Ethiopia[edit]

Hi, I'm a little puzzled about your claim that Lij Iyasu was awarded the Knights Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order. His reign was short, & to the best of my knowledge he neither made himself available to receive this honor (he spent most of his reign away from his capital, where the british embassy was, engaging in dubious activities) nor had he "performed personal service for the Sovereign" -- I assume this means the monarch of the UK. In fact, some of his official acts were potentially harmful to the British. I'd like to see a source for this claim. -- llywrch 23:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to the article on Lij Iyasu is too terse to explain its purpose. And the URL is not correct. -- llywrch 04:45, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Malerao Holkar II[edit]

A tag has been placed on Malerao Holkar II requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Evan Seeds (talk)(contrib.) 21:56, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability.

Order of the Chrysanthemum[edit]

In my view, your recent edits would have been more meaningful if they had been accompanied by at least one in-line reference citation, which then becomes something of an invitation for further development. This would have been particularly interesting for me -- and plausibly for others as well -- if it just happened to turn out that the thread of research which led you to these specific edits were a little different than my own. Do you see my point? As long as you're opening a door, I'm just suggesting that you consider making that opening a bit broader, wider, etc.? --Tenmei (talk) 19:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May 2008[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Umaid Singh, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article.

Your edits to Chowder (TV series)[edit]

I've reverted your edits [1] to Chowder (TV series). If you examine the reference cited, you'll note that is a direct quote from that reference, and changing the text is effectively negating the purpose of the reference. Yngvarr (c) 15:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Family tree of the Mughal Emperors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 13:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tokugawa shoguns[edit]

You may recall a recent edit in which you modified the bland Succession boxes for each of the fifteen Tokugawa shoguns. You substituted an enhanced "regnal" version; and this has generated some interest. This plausbile improvement is the subject of a discussion thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan #Tokugawa shoguns. You may have a useful contribution to make in this context.

I find that I am not alone in preferring the previous version. My reasoning has to do with graphics and visual analytics; but others may see things differently. I can't help wondering what you might think ... and yet, the talk page above suggests that you have not participated in this kind of give-and-take in the past. Perhaps this would be a timely opportunity to follow-up your edit by participating in the discussion about it? --Tenmei (talk) 21:08, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I again invite you to post a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan #Tokugawa shoguns? --Tenmei (talk) 17:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have now reverted the shogunal succession boxes to a plain, standard format; but in doing so, I don't want to forget to thank you for your constructive contribution. Your explanation made it very clear that you were only interested in enhancing the quality of these articles -- and vicariously, your edits did achieve your salutatory objective. The thoughtful conversation your edit inspired was interesting; and it is likely to prove useful in the future.
On each Tokugawa shogun's talk page, I've posted a link to the thread. If a similar issue comes up again, the archived thread may become a way for us all to avoid the necessity of "re-inventing the wheel" ....
Please know that your participation was appreciated. --Tenmei (talk) 00:31, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Thanks for your addition to this article. Could you please provide specific references, otherwise the information could be removed. thanks --Merbabu (talk) 12:43, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Post-nominals for Americans[edit]

Thank you for your edits, however for Americans, please do not include post-nominal letters in the WP:LEAD or its infobox. Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(biographies)#Post-nominal_initials,

Post-nominal letters, other than those denoting academic degrees, should be included when they are issued by a country or widely recognizable organization with which the subject has been closely associated. Honors issued by other entities may be mentioned in the article, but generally should be omitted from the lead.

This kind of information would be more appropriate to be included later in the text or in a section dealing with honors or awards. — MrDolomite • Talk 15:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled[edit]

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

  • This permission does not give you any special status or authority
  • Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
  • You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
  • If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it
If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing!HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Ranjitsinhji[edit]

Thanks for your information about Ranji's honours and titles. However, I'm not sure that it belongs in this main article. I've moved it to the talk page for the moment, where other people may comment. But this is my view. Firstly, I'm not convinced by the importance of this information where it is not covered in the main article. Does it matter that he changed from Major to Lieutenant or from GBE to GCSI. These titles and his honours are largely symbolic as he was hardly a major military figure. Secondly, even if these are important details, they remain details and I would argue they are trivia (except where the facts are covered (or will be covered) in the main article. An encyclopaedia should not include such minor details as these in my view; however, there may be mileage in a separate article, such as List of titles held by K. S. Ranjitsinhji but I'm not sure it would be notable enough. Also, I am in the process of a major expansion of the article, which I hope to take eventually to FAC, and some of this information will be included very shortly. Finally, it is usually better when giving a reference to include more details, such as in the rest of the Ranji article, rather than give a bare URL for the reference. Please feel free to discuss this either on the article talk page or on my own talk page, and if necessary, we can ask for other views at WP:CRIC or elsewhere. Also, if you have any other information about Ranji but are not sure about the sourcing for it, let me know and we can see what we can dig up! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:07, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]




Sourcing for Louis Mountbatten's honors?[edit]

Hi. I realize you made this edit 2 years ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Louis_Mountbatten,_1st_Earl_Mountbatten_of_Burma&diff=343010289&oldid=343008144

But. Where did you get this list? Can you please add a reference? I'm particularly interested in the Order of Isabella the Catholic he apparently received from Spain. I've been trying to keep that article well-sourced, and I can't find anything that confirms he actually got it. Doesn't mean he didn't, because records before 1945 or so are pretty scarce, but nothing comes up in Google searches in Spanish, and it's not listed on es:Anexo:Condecorados con la Orden de Isabel la Católica#1922. SnowFire (talk) 01:10, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]





Ranji[edit]

I reverted your last changes to Ranji. As I believe I may have mentioned before, references should not be bare urls, as you included in your two references. Also, I am not convinced that www.royalark.net is a reliable source, per WP:RS. There is no indication of the expertise of the author, or any editorial control of the site. The information also looks very like the details in the Simon Wilde biography of Ranji and I would like to have a check for copyvio on that site. Finally, I'm not sure that the information about Nawanagar is relevant as the article is about the man, not the state. If you think the information is very important, please place a note on the article talk page and we'll see what we can do as it can almost certainly be better referenced if consensus is that it is important. I would note, however, that the article is already very long, with room to expand as I hope to include more on his time in Nawanagar soon, having acquired some more sources. Thanks. --Sarastro1 (talk) 23:02, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Higashifushimi Kunihide. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:11, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Higashifushimi Kunihide has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. -- Patchy1 03:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, List of Indian Civil Service Officers[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of Indian Civil Service Officers. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – List of Indian members of the Indian Civil Service. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of Indian members of the Indian Civil Service – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Sitush (talk) 19:39, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback. If possible, I would like my list to be merged with the List of Indian members of the Indian Civil Service as I have provided references for my information and the other article does not provide any

Updating the List of United States light rail systems by ridership Request[edit]

Hi Aumnamahashiva! I see you updated the List of United States light rail systems by ridership's figures to Q2 2014. A couple of points:

  1. When you updated the avg. weekday ridership figures you also have to remember to update the 'Ridership per mile' column using the new figures.
  2. You deleted the APTA Q4 2013 reference and changed the Annual Ridership column heading to 2014, but that is incorrect – the Annual Ridership figures are still coming from the Q4 2013 APTA ridership report: so the old column heading, with its previous APTA Q4 2013 reference, need to be restored.

If you could make these changes when you get the chance, it would be appreciated! Thanks! --IJBall (talk) 16:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Chichibu[edit]

Hi. The source that you mentioned says he was quietly passed over in the line of succession in favour of his brother Prince Takamatsu. Well, it is clear that heads of the previous cadet branches of the imperial family or maybe the government didn't want an ill prince ascend the throne, but there was no official announcement or even an official press release to say that he is out of the line. Under the imperial household law he legally held the third position to become the next emperor but he was not the best option for being monarch. So I think we should count his name in that list. Keivan.fTalk 19:37, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, It seems that you're not interested in discussing the matter. So I change the article's material. Keivan.fTalk 14:02, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you have read the section on succession disputes, also note that an official decision was taken in July 1944 to appoint Prince Takamatsu as regent, though in the event the plan was not carried out. Another postwar proposal also intended Prince Takamatsu as regent, not Prince Chichibu. There are references available for both. Again, please do not make any changes to the material based on your own interpretation of the facts unless and until you have references to support your changes.Aumnamahashiva (talk) 15:17, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are the one who changes the material based on your own interpretation of the facts. Please just think of what you said. Because Prince Takamatsu was regent Prince Chichibu was passed out of the line. Funny reason!! You should prove that Prince Chichibu was passed out of the line by a strong and official reference, because many princes around the world become regent instead of crown princes or higher ranked princes but it doesn't mean that the others are passed out of the line. I'm just avoiding from starting an edit war with you. Don't use your rollback permission for reverting (or avoid from undoing) non-vandalism edits. Keivan.fTalk 15:35, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, I'm not interested in an edit war as I've numerous other articles to work on - so let me know what you think should be done re. the status of Prince Chichibu. I'm also curious to know how much you've studied on the Japanese Imperial Family, as they historically had a complex system of protocols which often greatly differed from those adopted by European royal dynasties.Aumnamahashiva (talk) 15:48, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One suggestion I can make is to include Prince Chichibu in the line of succession, but place a note beside his place and the places of a number of other imperial princes from the collateral lines as "Potentially ineligible to succeed by the terms of the 1889 Imperial House Law."Aumnamahashiva (talk) 15:54, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I should say that I have more knowledge about European dynasties than Japanese imperial dynasty, but I have also studied about Japanese Empire. Your suggestion seems good. Please include them in the line and add a note beside their names. Keivan.fTalk 18:05, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After doing this, please remove Template:Citation needed which I added a few hours ago. Keivan.fTalk 18:07, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Birth place of Maureen O'Hara[edit]

From WP:IMOS;

The place of birth, residence and/or death of people who were born, lived or died before 1921 in what today is Northern Ireland should be given simply as "Ireland", and they should not be described as "Northern Irish". "Ireland" should not normally be linked, but if thought necessary should be linked as [[Ireland]], not [[Northern Ireland|Ireland]]. For people who were born, lived or died in Northern Ireland after 1922 use "Northern Ireland", which will not normally be linked and should never be pipelinked.

For people anywhere else in Ireland at any time, "Ireland" should be used. Should pipelinking be considered necessary, [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] can be used after 1922.]]

Hope this clears up the confusion. Murry1975 (talk) 11:58, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Editing restrictions on Kashmir conflict articles.[edit]

Please note that the following restrictions apply to all articles related to the Kashmir conflict, including 2016 Uri attack. The restrictions are listed here. Reverting another editor without discussion on the talk page is a violation of this restriction as is this edit. Please be aware of these restrictions going forward. --regentspark (comment) 22:30, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2016 Indian military raid in Pakistan-administered Kashmir is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2016 Indian military raid in Pakistan-administered Kashmir 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 notice from the top of the article. Mar4d (talk) 19:27, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Express casualty count[edit]

Hey, I saw you made this edit. However, this information is already in the "Media reports" section below:

However, the Express said that according to eyewitness accounts, and classified documents, the number of militants killed was lower than the 38-50 number reported by Indian officials; there were reports that "five, perhaps six" bodies had been trucked out the morning after the raids from Dudhnial (4km from the LoC), while three or four militants were killed near Khairati Bagh.

We probably don't need to duplicate this.VR talk 15:10, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Order of XXX Merit" vs "XXX Order of Merit" (in National Order of Merit (France))[edit]

Sorry, this is the second time I cancel one of your change on National Order of Merit (France) (first time was in mid 2013), here's the detailed explanation why your changes were wrong: the defunct order names were built in French using the "Ordre du Mérite XXX" pattern as those ministerial (or colonial) orders were established to reward their recipients for their "XXX merit" ("mérite XXX" in French); hence in English they should be translated into "Order of XXX Merit" and not "XXX Order of Merit". Compare this pattern with the present "National Order of Merit" ("Ordre national du Mérite") that replaced them. –BlaF. (talk) 09:44, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Aumnamahashiva: I have noticed this in many articles. Like Sarvatra, I'm also interested in learning where one could find this online. Thanks! - Zwerubae

Hello! Gazette of India notices are available at egazette.nic.in

For Defence Ministry notifications in particular, proceed to "Search Gazette," then "Search by Gazette Category" then under Gazette Category select "Weekly Gazette." Under Part & Section, select "Part I-Section 4" and select your desired date range. Via the site, MoD notifications are generally available from 1949 through the present, though there are some gaps from the 1950s and 1960s.

As I've also found recently, the Gazette of India is also archived on archive.org

Hello, thanks for your edits for Indian military figures. Wanted to ask how you know which Gazette of India issue to look at for promotion dates to Major General, Lt General, etc? Like in the article you created for JS Nain?

I see that the reply you gave to Sarvatra, but I am still curious - how do you know which issue to look for? Do you guess the approximate dates and manually download and check each issue around the time?

Many thanks

Ranban282 (talk) 07:25, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I usually start by looking up the army officer's service number (ex: IC-41067N for JS Nain) then going to archive.org, selecting "search text contents" then entering the service number, which pulls up the relevant archived Gazettes. To fill in any gaps in the officer's schedule of promotions, yes, I go to the Gazette of India website, select "Weekly Gazette"=> "Part I, Section 4" and manually download and check the issues around the estimated date. You are welcome!

ILoveEatingBats, usually editors are allowed to seek the input from other users for a discussion at other places but care must be taken that the entire discussion takes place at one talk page to maintain readability. It is therefore advisable that you link to the main discussion when asking users for input at their personal talk pages even if there haven't been any replies there.

The article Dungar Singh has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unsourced

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

simplified successions[edit]

It's generally a good idea, but I have a few quibbles.

  • I would not italicize male desc. in succession, because elsewhere in the tree italics mark the dead, and extinct lines are omitted.
  • in succession seems redundant within a succession tree! Dropping that phrase would make room to expand the word descendants – or, what I'd like better, change it to issue.
  • I've forgotten where I saw this, sorry – there's a "male desc." shown as ancestor of someone named, raising the question of how many generations intervene; and made doubly mysterious by an unexplained change of surname.

Tamfang (talk) 22:58, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
