Hello! Thanks for the wb message. No worries about the phoning issue. I'm still keeping my editing controlled, as the problem is yet to be fully resolved. Hopefully, I will be back editing very soon.

On something totally different now; I noticed that LostBot was tagging

Project News Plagiarism by the admin noticeboard archived here . Jimbo's visit to India and the WikiCamp in Chennai: Jimbo recently visited India in late February and early March on wiki work. This included a trip to a WikiCamp in Chennai. The one day conference attracted 300 participants from across India and beyond dealt with issues facing wikis ([1]). It was widely covered by the press, eg The Hindu( [2]), which cited the efforts of Bhadani (edit count), Sundar (leadership on Tamil Wikipedia) and Ganeshk (Creation of Ganeshbot to create articles on Indian towns from census figures). Ganeshk himself travelled from California to attend the conference. Wikipedia Weekly 15: Wikipedia Weekly, a informal Wikipedians' program that purports to give "A weekly audio roundup of Wikipedia happenings with news, interviews and roundtable discussions" recently interviewed two prominent editors content. Rama's Arrow cited the team spirit, friendship and respect among project members in discussing its success and FA productivity, as well as discussing subcontinental wiki-conflict. Ragib talked also of his public campaign to raise awareness of the Bengali Wikipedia in his native Bangladesh , which has seen a 30-fold increase in article count over the past year. Arbitration: Three cases are either in progress or have recently ended. Nadirali and Unre4L were all banned for one year for disruption via edit-warring and confrontationalism. Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba 2 regarding a dispute over the article of the religious teacher closed in early March with four users indefinitely banned from the article. Currently, Mahayana Buddhism to China such as Bodhidharma and Zen . What's New? Technopark, Kerala (nom) and Western Chalukya Empire (nom) were featured from our WikiProject recently, since our last edition. 'Dineshkannambadi has been a phenomenal force in the production of FAs recently, being responsible for three of these eight articles. He has totalled five FAs, all relating to Kannada history. Three portals: Portal:Hinduism (nom), Portal:West Bengal (nom) and Portal:Kerala (nom) were also featured. There were two additional GAs, Murali Kartik and Bhagat Singh.

The portal needs immediate and continued attention. I don't understand automated technologies much. Please try to fix (if needed) and clearly state in the help page what is needed to update/maintain the portal.

Hi lost, when I checked the history of the pages it seemed that you were the only Wikipedian who was interested in editing topics regarding Himachal. Whenever I see other pages like west bengal, delhi, sikkim, kerla and lots more I feel quite ashamed. It is really disappointing that there is nothing available regarding HP there on other associated Wikimedia. But then also I would be trying to complete as many topics as possible. I have started up with the history of himacahal. Thanks Sushant gupta 11:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lost, it seems that you have really lost in the rush. Its been quite a long time you had not been here on Wikipedia. Well anyway I am just kidding. The page you have created on the geography of himachal pradesh is having the content copyrighted from http://www.webindia123.com Kindly see to it. If you can't rewrite the page since you are quite busy person may I start up the geography of Himachal. You may get angry with me that I am eating away yours contribs. but what can I do they copyrighted. I really appreciate your edits on Himachal Pradesh topics. Sushant gupta 11:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not editing any articles these days because I am relatively inactive. However, I am keen to help write it. Gizza^{Chat ©} 09:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And unfortunately, 2 more India-related articles are in FARC. (Railway and Geography). Thought I'd give those a try, but am not finding enough time. India-related FAs are really going through a bad state :( SO are you guys preparing the news letter?--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey lost, glad to know that you are switching over to a new place, new job and new life. May i know what job were you doing and what are you planning to do now. I love nomadic life (nomadic doesn't means tribal). Changes are important in life. We gain new experiences from them. Well you might be busy these days but this experience will definetely pay you in your upcoming life. May i also know to which state are you moving to?
one more thing, since you know that i was frustrated you must kowing the reasons also. i won't be leaving HP FAC like that only. I would try to make it atleast Good article before starting up with Wikipedia:WikiProject Astrology or with India related topic only. thanks for all the guidance you gave me. And one more thing i would like to share with you but later... Sushant gupta (talk · contribs) 07:07, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi lost, i know you are very busy these days. well i wished to tell you that i won't be much active there on

Many thanks for this message and the good sentiments with which it was accompanied.
I should have joined the wikiproject earlier but I developed a habit of working alone as soon as I started editing here. My involvement in a long, drawn out arbcom case and suffering an injury have insured my contributions to be delayed by several days, but I intend to work productively and visibly as soon as conditions permit to.
Many regards and best wishes,

My talk page was very bare, now it's much better! I have been around here for a while, but it is nice to be officially acknowledged. My main impediment from doing more on Wikipedia is that I don't have the technical aspects of editting down. I also don't know what needs editting. Like the question I just left on the help page. I care about the use/mention distinction, but I didn't know if that was just me being nutty or not. Hopefully I'll figure out all the editting macros, info boxes, and methods of design (like that sig that Freedomskies just left). Anyway... thanks again! Tdmg 06:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5

The Biography WikiProject Newsletter Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007
Project News The three-month long Summer Assessment Drive, organized by Psychless, was a huge success! It ran from June 1 – September 1 , and reduced the backlog of unassessed articles from 113,385 to 56,237. In all, over 100,000 articles were assessed. Over 60 people contributed in some way. A barnstar has been created for exceptional work on Wikipedia biographies and for assisting the project. The Biography Barnstar is listed with the other WikiProject awards and can be awarded easily with a template. See the template page for more details. Member News Wallis, Duchess of Windsor; Walter Model; William Bruce; William Goebel; Yagan; Zhou Tong; Æthelbald of Mercia; Æthelbald of Mercia New Members Congratulations to our 225 new members	From the Editors The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome.
