Scrolling lists

Per WP:ACCESS, we do not use scrolling lists for article content. This is because some users access Wikipedia with older software/hardware, and those lists may not render on such equipment. There are a number of choices that WP makes that provide "inferior" browsing for people with more features, but we'd rather the site be as accessible to as many people as possible.

But I introduced the scrolling list in only reference section and only after getting inspired from similar reference section in Economy of India article. Alok Bansal (talk) 16:39, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I've now removed it from that article as well. I'm not sure who added it there, but this is a pretty solid rule on Wikipedia—we want as many people as possible to be able to access Wikipedia, even if they're using Windows 98 on a dial-up modem. It's fine that you boldly did something that you thought improved Wikipedia articles; sometimes, the end result is that such changes get reverted.

Re: PMs

Hi Alok, I think it'll be good if we settle this properly on the article's talkpage; this'll affect not just that one article, but all prime minister-related articles. With this in mind, I'll start a fresh new thread over the weekend.

My argument: since there are sources that count Gulzarilal Nanda as the second PM and sources that don't (incl. govt sources), we editors can take a decision about this. While Nanda technically was the second PM, I think Wikipedia can look at the de facto situation of him being an interim PM and Shastri being Nehru's successor; we don't need to always go by technicalities. For example, our article about the man who is officially Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is named Mahatma Gandhi.

As for your argument that the PMO website is the supreme source on the matter, I disagree. The PMO is a primary source, and our policy dictates that we should prefer independent sources over these.—indopug (talk) 14:42, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for some of your uploads

Thanks for your uploads to Wikipedia. There is an issue with some of them, specifically:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the images because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the images, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image files themselves. Please update the image descriptions with URLs that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:13, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
