Your user page is delightfulHello, Sd31415. Maybe a lot of people have told you this, but since I've just discovered your user page for a while → pop by to say your user page looks incredibly gorgeous, wow ... with all those splendid featured pictures . You must be a brilliant designer! Best PeaceNT 14:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry if I'm too slow, anyway, found the right barnstar at last, it's just that I feel this one must be given to you since you so richly deserve it.

Change to Samuel R. Delany page was not vandalism."Stratum" is the singular for "strata". The wording was correct and was not vandalism, therefore the threat of banning was not appropriate. Just thought you should know. --Kdring 00:19, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks...Thank you, have a nice day :D. ~ Arjun 13:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
← (Reset) ...for the barnstar!!! I know, that was weird that my RFA was vandalized, some users give me barnstars and some give me that :). Cheers my friend. ~ Arjun 16:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Bengali WikipediaHello Sd31415, I was just wondering if you have heard of the Bengali Wikipedia (bn.wikipedia.org). The Bengali Wikipedia is desparately in need of more Bengali articles about India and West Bengal. But anyway, I just thought that you would like to have a look there, because despite it is a still-developing Wikipedia, it is the second biggest Indic-language Wikipedia. অনুগ্রহ করে বাংলা উইকিপিডিয়াটি দেখুন। --Wolftalk 16:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! #2
My RfAHey Sd31415, I just would like to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed with a final tally of 54/13/11. I appreciate the trust expressed by members of the community, and will do my best to uphold it. Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 21:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!That looks so good! Why didn't I think of that, thank you so much. I would give you a b-star but there is too many backlogs to clear ;) and I have already given you a ton. Seriously thank you. ~ Arjun 02:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Portal:WBHi SD! Nice image of the Indian Museum; would you mind keeping an eye out for other potential images to put into the portal? Thanks a bunch,
[Reset] Hey, good work, now the article and the bios are randomising :)
[Reset] Oh yeah, and I've written up a layout for the pics dzasta 15:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC) ]
[Reset] LOL! Thanks SO much for making that list, I wasn't looking forward to it ;) The portal's already had a peer review some time ago, and I think that there's really nothing to be concerned about - maybe it can go straight to featured portal candidates. Let's add a few more images, maybe, and then take it through. Thanks again for making that list (phew!)
[Reset] Eh, I've had enough for the day :) High five on a job well done, though. Once we have a little more content, it should be ready for featured! Take care, I'm off.
[Reset] Randomising the DYK was a Very Good Idea. Good work! I also like the navigation template, that's another great idea. Maybe the two of us should pick a random Indian portal each week and get it up to featured ;)
Portal:wb - moreHi! thanks a lot for working on the portal. I have just 1 query. The archive of Did you know section is in red. But previously that archive contained some previous DYKs. And that archive page is not in the deleted subpages list!--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[Reset] Thanks a lot for all the support extended to brighten up the Portal. The change is really standing out. Regards. -- P.K.Niyogi 01:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Portal updatesHi! Howrah Bridge, though a smaller article, could be a good candidate for selected article, as it can be provided with references and inline citations (hopefully). On the other hand, both Durga Puja and Bengali cuisine lack good references, and are absolutely deficient in inline citations, though both articles sounds comprehensive. Howrah Bridge may have some problems regarding comprehensiveness. Let's put those as candidates. Regarding direct promotion to selected pictures, I don't have any problems. But will it be ok once the portal is up for featured candidacy? I dont have much idea, but someone may tell that images were not selected by nomination procedure. Already we have the whole biography section which has not been chosen by nomination procedure.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
[Reset] I wouldn't worry about the articles on that count - that isn't really a fault of the portal, or even a fault at all really! But for images, I would definitely push for at least 15.
[Reset] A couple: [8], [9], [10]. What do you think?
[Reset] I like the new format. I personally don't think the nomination procedure is very important, but since it seems to have been the way things have been done for a while, I'll let it go. I'll rename all the selected articles to featured articles now.

Yup; done with the deletion. Thanks for your kind words; and portal Bengal is looking awesome. I am happy that you and other editors are working so hard on it. Looks like featured quality. Cheers! ~ Arjun 00:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Your tips
First of all, thank you very much. :-) Your first tip says "I would suggest randomizing the contents of the portal.", which, frankly, I don't understand. The second is "The introduction needs an image.", is that fine? Third: "More selected content, did you know's, and a things you can do box are needed." Selected content will be updating once monthly, DYKs have to be on the main page first, so it's hard (or am I wrong on that?), and I'll make a "things to do" section soon. Your fourth is "Try to add an image to every box." do you mean literally? (eg. I can't think of images that would go well in the category box). · AndonicO Talk · Sign Here 01:50, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Replied on the user's talk page. S.D. ¿п? § 02:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- An example of a portal that randomizes content is the Chemistry portal. Here, the content (articles, pictures, did #you know's, etc.) doesn't have to changed. Every time you press "Show new selections," new content shows up.
- I noticed Arjun's Portal:Hinduism had the "Show new selections", but I have no idea on how to do that. Do you?
- Yes, I learned how to do it over the weekend. I would suggest that you first get you create selected articles subpages for the 6 featured articles, good articles, and the former featured article. Also, create 10 selected pictures, selected biographies, and did you know's (which don't have to show up on the Main page). Then, I'll put in the "Show new selections" and show you how to do it (it's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it :)). S.D. ¿п? § 12:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- I noticed Arjun's Portal:Hinduism had the "Show new selections", but I have no idea on how to do that. Do you?
- Yes, that's great. :D
- Okay!
- Not literally, but images on content like selected articles, pictures, and biographies and things you can do would be good.
- What kind of image would go in things you can do? Also, the Sid Meier fellow doesn't have any pictures, and all the games he's made have copyrighted images. I had this image on, but someone removed it because of the licensing. · AndonicO Talk · Sign Here 10:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Good news
I've just received an e-mail from Kuldip Garhwal (the owner of the blog you linked me to the other day) giving us permission to use the photos on Wikipedia under the GDFL. I'll include the text of the e-mail in the picture summary. How does that sound? :) Cheers,

There is a suggestion about the biographies and I feel that we can fix a limit to the summary size, so that it comes within a fixed space. I will get in touch with Dwaipayan and fix up. Regards. -- P.K.Niyogi 04:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Portal candidacy
I could not find a solution to the problem of baul image (by user:Mukerjee) as poited out by Ambuj in the FPOC. Can you help? Otherwise we may have to demote the image from selected images pool. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

FPOC comments
Need help. Have to move "West Bengal news" to "News", and "West Bengal topics" to "Major topics", per suggestions in FPOC. I did not do that because I sometime make gross errors while moving pages, especially these things (which seem pretty complex to me!!). Please do whatever is needed. regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
