Social media slowly turning into media

I guess the media go wherever their readership goes [1]. Google indexes them fine. But archive.org can't deal with them yet. It is having trouble even dealing with the plain old web. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 03:52, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The DCWC is back!

The Developing Countries WikiContest Gold Belt Buckle
The Developing Countries WikiContest Gold Belt Buckle

Noticeboard for India-related topics, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs). (To unsubscribe from these updates, remove this talk page from this list.) Sent via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 12:15, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Can somebody please help me out with this article about an Indian academician? It was moved to draftspace an year or so after being published because it did not conclusively meet WP:GNG but could meet in the future. I did some research and found more independent sources that could fulfil some of the criteria under WP:NPROF, but I have been blocked from editing due to COI. How can I go about improving the article and getting it re-published? Thanks! Shashy 922 (talk) 06:14, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
