Hi sir, hope you are doing good. Do you have any sources to expand the article? I cannot think of a better Wikipedian than you in this regard :) —Vensatry _(ping) 18:48, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Greetings

Greetings, how are you? --Tito☸Dutta 23:16, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks, Tito! I will be back soon with more articles, since I have almost covered most important topics related to India here. [1] on Wikiquote.

• Okay, please inform me when you will come back. I'll also join there. I (also) stopped after those DYKs last year.
  Did you know about the recent Indian Community Consultation (2014) organized at Bangalore WP:RMI? Will you attend if WMF invites you from now? This time, I myself, was invited after last date (main email somehow did not reach my inbox). So, could not suggest anyone's name. --Tito☸Dutta 09:20, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

At present I am in Sandiego, USA. I will be returning to Delhi in mid December. I can attend after that in early January 2015.--Nvvchar. 17:04, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I don't know when WMF will organize their "mega" event. Last one was organized in 2011, although it has been proposed to organize such event annually, I don't know about now. Chapter etc, conferences are done in every few months, but I don't really follow those things or anything outside "our community". :( I'll keep following these things.
Please inform me when you will start creating article, preferably something on different topic, not Swami Vivekananda, like Indian Army war martyrs, Temples in India, Indian scholars, historians --Tito☸Dutta 00:00, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Banyan tree in Lahaina, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Japanese, Canopy and Hawai. 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.

DYK nomination of Banyan tree in Lahaina

Hello! Your submission of Banyan tree in Lahaina at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 21:31, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Banyan tree in Lahaina

You recently created Banyan tree in Lahaina, a duplicate fork of Lahaina Banyan Court Park, a GA that has already gone through the DYK process. The majority of the content already appears in that article and should be redirected appropriately. Since the appropriate article titles were already in place as redirects (for example Banyan Tree Park), your particular choice of article title and content tells me you knew this but created the article anyway. Viriditas (talk) 06:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Based on the sources and the repeated content in this article, I really can't see a need for a separate article at this time. I will plan on merging whatever we don't have into the parent, although you are welcome to do it yourself. Viriditas (talk) 07:09, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Fort at Lahaina

You recently created Fort at Lahaina, a duplicate fork of Lahaina Banyan Court Park, a GA that has already gone through the DYK process. The majority of the content already appears in that article and should be redirected appropriately. Since the appropriate article titles were already in place as redirects (for example, Lahaina Fort), your particular choice of article title and content tells me you knew this but created the article anyway. Viriditas (talk) 06:13, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

• I thought such forking was allowed in DYK and hence I created the two articles both of which have much more information on the topics than in Lahaina Banyan Court Park. I can change the hook for the first article on Banyan tree but there are so many references including official references which state that it is the largest tree in USA.--Nvvchar. 06:19, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
  • What you are talking about is splitting not forking. Yes, we can split articles into subarticles when they get too large, however the parent article is only 21,451 bytes, and what you've written does not come close to justifying splitting, because your two articles combined contain little new information that doesn't already appear in the parent. Banyan tree in Lahaina itself contains little to no original content, while Fort at Lahaina seems to have added a tiny bit of new information, but nothing that won't fit in the parent. I'm a little worried that in both cases, it looks like you tried to either copy or rewrite what we already had in the parent. At this point, I can't see any justification for two new articles. Furthermore, the quality of the sourcing in the original article is superior to many of the sources you are using. Finally, if you want to expand the Lahaina Banyan Court Park article with new information, that's widely encouraged, considering you maintain the quality of the sourcing. You could even take it through the featured article (FA) process at that point, if you so desire. The bottom line is, we have a long list of requested articles that we need created and expanded on Wikipedia. You knew this article existed, yet you created two duplicates while we have hundreds of Hawaii-related articles needing work. That doesn't make much sense to me, but perhaps you got carried away in your enthusiasm after visiting Maui last month? Viriditas (talk) 06:28, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Largest tree?

I can change the hook for the first article on Banyan tree but there are so many references including official references which state that it is the largest tree in USA.

I'm curious about those refs. Are they found in good sources? When I did the research on this topic back in 2012, the best sources said that the largest Banyan tree in the US was unknown, with some claiming it was in Florida (see Edison and Ford Winter Estates) and others saying it was in Hawaii. Since we tend to stick with verifiable facts, I was able to determine that it was considered the largest in the state of Hawaii, and because of the ambiguity of competing sources, I found that it was considered one of the largest of its kind in the country. Has that changed? Viriditas (talk) 06:39, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Swami Vivekananda

Hello,
You took Swami Vivekananda to GA status. Now, could you help to make it an FA? (obviously following my practice, I'll not nominate it. I'll ask someone else, PREFERABLY you to do the work). Could you help by suggesting what changes/improvements are required in this article? --Tito☸Dutta 02:09, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I will do so shortly. You may like to suggest names of Hindu temples or siantswhich are stubs here so that we can expand them.--Nvvchar. 05:34, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
