[edit] Zira

Regarding the removing of template from Zira, it is because that info has been added to the actual article now. This article was created by a bot, and after adding the info to the article, the uncat is supposed to be done -- Lost 18:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your comments on my talk page, let me explain a bit more in detail to you. user:Ganeshbot created thousands of articles about Indian cities based on some demographic and geographic data. You can see their list at User:Ganeshbot/Created. However, other Indian cities already had info about them at Wikipedia. The bot put these articles under the list: User:Ganeshbot/Not created. Now I was merging the info from these articles to the existing articles. So you may see Zira (India) for example. As part of the procedure, I am also supposed to uncat and untemplate the bot articles and then strike them in the list. What you did would add the bot article to the list of Punjab stubs which would be a duplication of the other article. I hope I have not confused you further. Please let me know if you want more clarification -- Lost 19:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your query as to why leave the template and not delete it, I am not the best person to answer this. I have asked the owner of the bot, user:Ganeshk to reply to you. He will reply whenever he is online. -- Lost 19:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Deleting the template line would work too. The end-result should be that the sandbox town be removed the category list. Uncat is one other way to do it and is the procedure we are following while merging the BOT info into the article. After all the articles have been merged, the sandbox articles in the user space will be deleted. Hope that answers your question. Please let me know if you have any questions. - Ganeshk (talk) 19:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
No problem. You did not mess any system. It's okay to be bold. Happy editing! - Ganeshk (talk) 20:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
