Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome

Great contributions. Look forward to more. Would be good if the images are added to http://commons.wikimedia.org that way it can be used by other language wikis as well. Shyamal 08:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding of external links

Hello fellow human being. I notice that you are adding a large number of links to avis.indianbiodiversity.org, in quite a number of pages. Can you please stop doing that? At least until further discussion has taken place on adding them? - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 05:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AVIS-IBIS Portal External Link

Dear Aaron.....Sorry for mass edits....It's in good faith where I like to start contributing external links to Indian Birds. AVIS - IBIS (AVian Information system - Indian Biodiversity Information System) is an initiative collate and present information on Indian flora and fauna which is freely available to users. Later I'm planning to add links for book excerpts for individual species. I would really appreaciate if you can give me guidance to improve.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I'd suggest that, in order to avoid the appearance on your talk of more people asking questions, you see if these links are all appropiate as per the external links guidelines. There's also a noticeboard, and once you've reviewed the guideline I suggest that you open a discussion thread on the noticeboard.
Aaron Brenneman (talk) 06:22, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had gone throught the external link guidelines and also started thread on the noticeboard as per your suggestion

Arpit Deomurari (talk) 11:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good, thanks. Be aware that at this time of year discussions take longer than normal, is the only other thing I'd add. Regards,

Discussion

A discussion has been started about the external links to one website that you have added to many bird articles at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Birds#Indian_Biodiversity_links. You are welcome to advance the discussion there. Are you associated with that website? Snowman (talk) 11:42, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's really disappointing to see this actions and discussions...Although I'm affiliated to AVIS-IBIS website as a matter of fact it's my 10 years of work on Indian Birds Database...but I did this linking in Wikipedia Indian birds article in Good Faith only...My Future plan was to fetch more information where many articles are STUB or not much information from the links of AVIS-IBIS. thus I first thought to put a link to every Indian Bird Species Page and as and when time permits edit those article for more comprehensive information on the species. If everyone thinks it's spam I would revert all the changes I made to the articles. Being new to Wikipedia I might missed some points like remarks/summaries on edits etc. I had also started discussion on this topic as per the advice of (talk) at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Birds#Indian_Biodiversity_links

Guidelines

Hi Arpit, I noticed you had not got a welcome tag - and guidelines - so have added it above. Perhaps people assumed you knew your way around WP! Do check out the guidelines and hopefully you will soon be able to contribute to high quality content and research reviews here while making use of the journal research that you have done so far. Do feel free to ask around for help. Shyamal (talk) 14:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Birds, Indian and otherwise!

Hi Arpit: Sorry to see you've run afoul (or should that be a-fowl) of the Spam police. Overall they do a good and useful job, but I do find that some of them are very quick to bite the newcomers! Please consider joining WP:BIRD. We're far friendlier than the Spam folks, and would be happy to work with you and your organisation to get information into the appropriate articles. While we can't (apparently) add links to your website, at least we can incorporate information from the various books, journals, etc. that your organisation has collected! As Shyamal says above, feel free to ask any of us for help or guidance. MeegsC | Talk 23:53, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Science lovers wanted!

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! Sarah (talk) 01:55, 17 April 2012 (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.
