Article on Dr. H. K Kaul

Dear Mr. Paul,

An article on me in the Wikipedia has been pending editing for quite some time. Can you help? Regards. H K Kaul [e-mail: hkkaul@gmail.com} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaul H K (talk • contribs) 12:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I see that it's already been explained to you that the article is not in a satisfactory condition, and you have been given some advice about what its major shortcomings are. The best help I can give you is to recommend that you heed the advice you have already been given. — Paul A (talk) 13:40, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

About your comment and deletion : Wikipedia is not a poetry anthology

I looked up wiki entries of few notable Poets and found some of their notable Poetry. Could you please elaborate why this particular Poem was deleted? I know the article is not upto the mark in a lot of ways and we should be working on it. But why delete one of the most important poems of the poet when it seems a norm in other articles? Koteshwor (talk) 19:33, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't know the poet articles you speak of, so I don't know what might be different with them, but the rule as I understand it is that poetry should be quoted only as an integrated part of the article's discussion. For example, it is not sufficient to say "Here is a poem by Bhupi Sherchan:", but it might be appropriate to say "One of the characteristics of Bhupi Sherchan's style is [such-and-such], as can be seen in these verses from [poem]:".

There was also another consideration, which I didn't mention in my edit reason because I thought perhaps it was too obvious: This is the English-language Wikipedia, and there is an expectation that English-language readers can read any article without missing something because it's in another language. That doesn't necessarily mean you can't quote from another language at all, but if you do it should be accompanied by a suitable translation into English.

Sorting

Thank you very much for pointing out the sorting issue. I didn't realize it had been solved. The page you mentioned also has a lot of guidance and answers a number of questions I had for sorting names in other languages. Happy Wiki'ing--FeanorStar7 10:27, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Accounting networks and associations

Hello.

Re: Accounting networks and associations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting_networks_and_associations

I work freelance for an international accounting network, Russell Bedford International. http://www.russellbedford.com/

Russell Bedford have seen the Wikipedia Accounting networks and associations article, and have provided me with a list of points they think are out of date, better tables/data to include, and additional links. They have asked me to edit or incorporate these into the article as it currently stands.

I am contacting you because it looks as though you input the first edits on the article when it was originally written, in September 2011? I don't want to go barging in all over your work, but it does look as though some parts are now out of date.

What's the best way of doing this? Should I send you an attachment (Word) with proposed amendments and ask you to review? Or should I go in, input proposed changes and then send you a link to the revised draft?

Let me know how you'd prefer me to handle.

You can reach me at contact@urgentedits.com, or please post something into the Talk page and I will pick up.

Kind regards,

Hillary RussellBedfordInternational

I think you have the wrong person – I have made only one edit to the Accounting networks and associations page, and that was a minor copy-edit. The first and largest editor was User:Robertacc (who doesn't seem to have been active on Wikipedia for some years now).

Speaking generally, the rule on Wikipedia is that if you believe you can improve an article you should go ahead and do so. Articles don't have owners or gatekeepers, and changes to articles are automatically tracked so they can easily be reviewed (and if necessary undone) later. (This is explained in more detail on the pages Wikipedia:Ownership of articles and Help:Page history respectively.)

By the way, I should also point out that your current username is considered inappropriate under Wikipedia's Username policy, under the rules regarding Usernames implying shared use. I recommend that you read the username policy and consider changing to a more appropriate username.

Bot Use

How did you use the bot to re add the citations? I was trying to fix that but got lazy. I saw that you did it in a way that kept my changes, but added yours. Very neat(Lowkeyvision (talk) 16:54, 15 March 2013 (UTC))

I didn't use a bot, I did it by hand. Had the edit box open in one tab, and the edit diff from the first time I added the citations in another; copied the relevant markup from the latter into the former. (And while I was at it, I did the same for a couple of other editors' contributions, including Addbot's interwiki link update, which is why I mentioned Addbot in the edit reason.) — Paul A (talk) 18:43, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if you had some tips on how to improve pharmacology pages. I have improved Diphenhyramine page, but I am looking for guidance on how to improve other pharmacology pages. Also, I have a picture of the benadryl box(Diphenhydramine in US) and I was wondering how I should go about uploading the image because it is a trademark. Thank you :)(Lowkeyvision (talk) 20:48, 16 March 2013 (UTC))

Knowing my own limitations, I suggest you ask the editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology, who are more likely to be familiar with the best ways to handle pharmacology pages. My own beat is more general, and I wouldn't want to give you any advice that turned out to be wrong. — Paul A (talk) 00:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Use of derviative works templates

As the leading editor in terms of edit count of {{Oliver Twist}}, I am alerting you to the discussion about the use of derivative works templates in author bio articles at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels#Derivative works and cultural references templates. We are discussing whether they should be removed from or collapsed or left alone in the author's articles.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:46, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to With One Last Breath may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 01:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
