Invitation for the 2012 Tag & Assess Drive
Tag & Assess 2012
Each Wikiproject in Wikipedia has many article under its stewardship. Assessment means 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.
In WikiProject India we have 93,867 articles under it as of date. Of these a stupendous, 18235 17511 articles are completely unassessed, both for class and importance. In addition, another 42,772 articles are unassessed for importance. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 contest has been proposed to run from 01 March 2012 to 31 May 2012.
You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page itself. There are many awards to be given and scope for everyone to win huge awards. Come & join us in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India this way.
Sure, will do my best. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:31, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Huggle the Horrible
This application is a very nasty way to remove hours of work that someone has put into an article. It's purpose is to remove vandalism, not to be a form of it. From what I can see, you use it a lot. In my particular case, I even actually understand your reasons for using it. I was getting a little carried away on a "See also" list. However, you also removed good edits unrelated to what you were obviously trying to "fix." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.20.170.147 (talk) 07:36, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Please post new messages to the BOTTOM of the page. Huggle is not Nasty, nor is it Horrible. It is one of the most useful tools present. I reverted your edit, specifically, as you added some extra content [particularly other Religions] in the bottom. While I'm neither Christian, nor Jew, I am of the opinion, that non Christian content need not be present on pages relating to Christianity, as the presence of such matter often results in heated discussions on various talk pages. Also, since you did feel it was wrong, I'd like to point out that you can click the Undo edit button on that page. Thank you for bringing this to my notice. In future, I'll not bother about articles relating to Religion. Also, do remember to sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes, ~~~~. Regards, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:47, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
I guess, because there was already information within the "See also" section about other religions, I took the "All" approach of the "All or Nothing" philosophy. Now, I will most likely go with the "Nothing" approach, as I actually agree with you, that maybe information about other religions shouldn't be on that page. Also, just because of this incident, you should not just quit editing religion pages. I was just a little frustrated at first, but then I saw the value in you edit. 98.20.170.147 (talk) 16:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
I guess that I have a few more comments. What happenned in my particular case is that I made a small edit after you Huggled me, and I was unable to revert back. There were some edits that I made earlier in the day that had nothing to do with the "See also" list, and they were actually changed as well. Now I am trying to figure out what they all were, as some of the were just grammar and punctuation edits and the like. But, part of the nature of wikipedia is to have instances like this. All in all, I believe the article is better because of it. You brought me to my senses about what I was doing, as I now removed all of the links to unrelated religions--even the ones that were put there by other users--and replaced them with a single link to an exhaustive list of Religious text that accomplishes the very same thing.98.20.170.147 (talk) 17:28, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your understanding. I'm sorry if I was rude. I assume you've been editing anonymously for a while. You seem to understand what you're doing. As for reverting, as an IP you can only revert one edit. I hope you chose to stay and edit constructively, and maybe even register. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 18:38, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello I read you message on my wall that you could help me with my article, I am sorry I did not read it before today!, my article Antonella Ponce is corrected in my sandbox with all the references that I have, I am actually adding a couple more and I still need to add the picture. Please help me! and thanks for your offer to help

I assume it is the one present on User:Anahiponce/sandbox. We'll need to Wikify it first, bring it up to Wikipedia standards and then go forward. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:34, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry this is my first time here so I am kind of lost when you say Wikipedia standards, thank you...and again sorry for my ignorance =(
(˜˜˜)
Sure, no issue at all. Note, instead of clicking new section each time, come down to Antonella Ponce on this page and click on Edit on the left hand side and leave a message below the last one. Also, when signing with ~~~~, do not put them in brackets. When I mean Wikipedia standards, what I mean is that there are a set of policies each article must follow. TheManual of Style describes how an article must be written- language, grammar, etc. Then, the citations on that page must be made inline, which I shall teach you to do.--Rsrikanth05 (talk) 15:22, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
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.
Hi. When you recently edited Tirupur, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Salem (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Good! Now be this way. Remember, a barnstar is merely a reflection of what you have done. If you do well, it will reflect from your edits and your style of editing.
