Orphaned non-free image File:Chennai marathon 2006.png

Thanks for uploading File:Chennai marathon 2006.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:21, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs) 09:32, 30 April 2015‎ (UTC)

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.

A tag has been placed on Pusillina fuscapex 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. Zppix (talk) 20:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

@Scribbleyard:, thanks! It is great to hear feedback for a task that is 10 years old. The same Census bot was used in multiple language wikis and these town articles were created in multiple Indian languages so that the folks can view them in the language they are familiar with.

Unable to create New entries

Hi @Ganeshk: So, i have this csv file with 3 entries as you said. I loaded the plugin with the column headers. I checked skip if page exists but when i run it does nothing.

I tried other tabs and i see if i use the More tab with Append/Prepend and type something inside and then run again. It does work but then again it does not call the column headers in the More tab.--Satdeep Gill (talkcontribs 18:21, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
AWB Screenshot
@Satdeep Gill: Please post the CSV file, Column Headers, article template text, and screenshot of the CSVloader here. That will help me troubleshoot the issue. Unrelated, your signature links to the wrong user page. Ganeshk (talk) 17:21, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi @Ganeshk: here is the text from the CSV file:

ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ:Satdeep_Gill/ਕੱਚਾ_ਖਾਕਾ/manger,mandō,ਖਾਣਾ
ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ:Satdeep_Gill/ਕੱਚਾ_ਖਾਕਾ/chanter,cantāre,ਗਾਉਣਾ
ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ:Satdeep_Gill/ਕੱਚਾ_ਖਾਕਾ/danser,ballare,ਨੱਚਣਾ

  • Column headers are: ##article##, ##ety##, ##mean##
  • Template text is:

##article##

==etymology==
##ety##

==Noun==
##mean##

and thanks i fixed the userpage issue. --Satdeep Gill (talkcontribs 17:44, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

@Satdeep Gill:, I made it work here, User:Ganeshk/sandbox/CSVTest/chanter. Please do the following:
1. Replace your delimiter with ~.
User:Ganeshk/sandbox/CSVTest/manger~mandō~ਖਾਣਾ
User:Ganeshk/sandbox/CSVTest/chanter~cantāre~ਗਾਉਣਾ
User:Ganeshk/sandbox/CSVTest/danser~ballare~ਨੱਚਣਾ
2. Remove spaces in the column header string and use ~, ##article##~##ety##~##mean##
3. Update the field delimiter to ~ on the CSVLoader box.
4. Set the page to exists on Skip tab.
Please try the above and let me know how it goes. Ganeshk (talk) 01:25, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
@Ganeshk:, I tried it again with these settings but still it is same. I dont know if there is bug which prevents it to create articles on Punjabi Wikipedia. Delimiter and Field separater are one and the same thing right?
If I make some changes in the more tab and add some text in Append/Prepend text then it shows those changes. Otherwise it says No changes.
One more thing when i just wrote the words with the User:Satdeep Gill/Sandbox, the first letter became capital on its own. I think there must be a solution for that as well.

Thanks a lot for your support.--Satdeep Gill (talkcontribs 01:49, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
