[edit] Indian Railways

To start with: I like the condescending way you posted this sentence: expected more informed people like you to take it up instead of bringing it down. I certainly had reasons to remove as the article is a featured article, or one of the best on wikipedia. Reasons why I had removed content:

  1. When adding content, cite credible sources. Without a source, certain content can be deleted as 'unsourced'.
  2. As for the coaches: The article is about the company; to add stuff on coaches etc, it should be correctly placed in/linked in Rail transport in India.
  3. Unfilled sections like 'Modernization' and few subsections like 'Passenger safety', 'Station cleanliness', 'Coach cleanliness'. -- Having blank subsections reflects poorly on the structure of the article: If content is needed, place a request on the article's talk page.
    • Also isn't it's a bit unfair on your part to place empty sections on a page and expect others fill in content? As a railfan you're more than welcome to add content from credible sources and do your bit to improve the coverage of railways in India.
  4. info calculation rules of FINE imposition (why not as this is faced by several railway passengers). -- isn't this a bit subjective?
  5. Lastly, as you rightly put it our purpose is to inform readers. However, this is not a complaint forum against the Indian Railways for them to see their pitfalls. Report things as is keeping in mind the neutral point of view.

[edit] Vandalism by 152.12.4.15 on 'Binaca Geetmala' releated pages.

Hi,

Kindly check the link below and you will find the user using this IP is consistently engaged in vandalism, would request to facilitate in blocking this IP (below list suggest it is used by the user in question only)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=152.12.4.15

Thanks,

Vjdchauhan 05:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I can't really tell if they're obvious vandalism. You'd probably be better off reporting to the administrator's noticeboard for more views. —Mets501 (talk) 12:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding "alleged" Vandalism by 152.12.4.15 on 'Binaca Geetmala' releated pages.

Mr Chauhan

Here is the bottom line - I was the person that started these webpages; however the person who had supplied me with some of the lists had requested me to take them off this website temporarily till Oct/Nov of this year. So I had tried to delete the contents but they were later put up again by Samir among others, I sent a message to Samir requesting him to take down those pages at least till October - however I have had no reply or positive feedback. I would like to request you to do the same i.e take down the lists till Oct/Nov. Also I have every Binaca geetmala annual list from 1954 till 1993. If you guys do choose to keep these pages up denying my request, I will make sure that neither I nor the other people that have access to these lists will ever put up anything in these pages. However if you do hide these lists temporarily, then we will put up all the lists after November. The choice is yours - do you wish a wonderful web resource to be created or do you choose to ignore our request and have these incomplete lists be all the resources that is put up.


Cheers 152.12.4.15 16:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to your reply

In response to your question, the person who supplied us with at least some of the lists is writing a book which will be published in Oct/Nov: we dont want his book sales to be hurt.

[edit] Re:Your 'rm parent cat, category diffusion' changes

I am afraid you've got the idea of categorization on Wikipedia wrong. From Wikipedia:Categorization: "Categories help users find information, even if they don't know that it exists or what it's called."

"If one knows only the name of university/college", the search box is there to help. Categorization is for organizing the information.

Please see the guidelines on Wikipedia:Categorization#Some_general_guidelines: "Articles should not usually be in both a category and its subcategory". Also, cycles should be avoided (on same page).

As about breaking the category 'University and colleges' in India, you can put forward the proposal at Wikipedia talk:Notice board for India-related topics. utcursch | talk 14:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cateogry

Please don't revert the removal of the category. It was discussed on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 20 and such category has been disbanded. When you readd it you recreate it, going against stablished consensus, if you persist going against agreed decisions, you may find yousrelf subject to sanctions. -- Drini 17:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

You may need to read your own ('wisdom') page more carefully. If you see the pervious checkin by me, the page was not showing the (deleted) category in question, in fact your checkin messed up (visually) my user page and I am not sure whether you feel sorry about it or not. Vjdchauhan 05:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I must apologize then. The thing is that political-type categories are usaually reverted and fought by users going against the consensus. I'm sorry then. -- Drini 21:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
My response was quite rude, sorry for that. Regards, Vjdchauhan 04:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] IMS-BHU

The article didn't (and still doesn't) say that the Institute has its own hospital. Maybe you can expand the article by adding that info in.

Second, I don't think you're supposed to remove the merge tag before at least one day is up. You're probably the only person who's seen the proposal and removing the tag early does not give others a chance to comment. But since I have no problems with not merging the article, never mind. ;-) Kavadi carrier 10:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. I think the article should be called "Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University" since that is its official name. Kavadi carrier 10:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I am not an IMS-BHU passout so would not be able to contribute there. I agree that the page should be renamed. Lastly sorry for reverting merge tag without waiting for at least a day. With due regards, Vjdchauhan 04:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC).

Well that's the problem with automated tasks, I deleted complete portion as the Category:Sangrur category page itself was having complete article copied from its main page Sangrur, pls check. Vjdchauhan 17:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I blanked it. ;-) Kavadi carrier 00:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. A questoion: why 'AntiVandalBot' haven't reverted your changes, are you operating it. Thanks again. Regards, Vjdchauhan 04:27, 4 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Wikimapia

Hello! Look at http://wikimapia.org/#y=8495988&x=76930561&z=18&l=0&m=a&v=2&show=/503821/, there are two marks Pettah railway Overbridge, you will see one place is marked for deletion. It will be deleted in 12 hours. You may cancel deletion. Click Cancel deletion and use delete request in menu! You will see again this sign. Will this work, I mean the deletion? Because I think you pressed the bottom one (it's for normal users). Alexandre Koriakine 11:50, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I just tried deleting some heavily oversized boxes using ('UserBox->Menu->Deletion Request') menu at Aligarh at Wikimapia and got pop up sure you wand to delete with OK/Cancel option and on clicking OK threw another popup saying The place is marked for deletion and will be deleted soon with OK button. Reopening the box says This place is marked for deletion. It will be deleted in 12 hours. You may cancel deletion., wonderful. I think you just now raised my privilege level further (earlier it was raised to 2 votes level) and am also seeing a bit changed main popup box where now I cannot see Report Problem->Delete Request menu option at bottom-right of the box (this was the menu using which I deleted some boxes which didn't work always).
Thanks a lot for further enhancing the privilege (on seeing power of this privilege level I think we need 12 hours or some other appropriate gap to revert deletion by mistake).
May be you would like to correct the spelling mistake in sure you wand to delete to sure you want to delete. Regards, Vjdchauhan 12:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC).
Yes, We are making more and more futures. What about temples: http://wikimapia.org/112312/ and near on the left is also an Ganesha temple. Are they real temples or they are homes? Alexandre Koriakine 14:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
They seems to be Hindu Temples not private houses. I don't think people name their houses as Temple. Vjdchauhan 16:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Vjdchauhan, good luck! Alexandre Koriakine 11:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Vjdchauhan, you wrote that some boxes are not deleting. Could you give me URL that I take look.Alexandre Koriakine 12:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

That was some other user not me, I deleted some improperly sized boxes that he was pointing to. Vjdchauhan 12:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and nice to meet you (Cat: Kanpur)

Hi,

Thanks for your message. I will definitely add and maintain pages to and in the category you specified. Give me anything more on that region if you find.

--Bobby Awasthi 09:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

For that you can also open the page say Kanpur Page and click on 'What links here' link (there in left panel below Go/Search button) to see the pages related to Kanpur, some of them can be added to Kanpur category (that's how I do). Vjdchauhan 09:45, 24 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] District-wise categories

I was doing some cleanup on that page. And moving older stuff out. I have started writing the program to move towns in district level categories. It will take some time to complete. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 16:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Wikipedia proposals over time

[edit] Platform independent C++ counterpart for ActiveX Data Objects and 'VARIANT'

In general, you should probably read up on STL, and have a good look at Boost. Now to the specifics. One of the best C++ 'variant' implementations is probably boost::any. To get "record-like" functionality, you can simply use std::map<std::string, boost::any>. A container of those - std::vector, std::list or std::deque, depending on your needs, would be analogous to a detached recordset. What more, boost::multi_indexed_container allows for an arbitrary number of custom indices on in-memory data for fast lookup. -- int19h 19:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ”See also” and/or “nav box”

To be honest, I’m not that sure about it myself (sorry to revert you so bluntly there). Major problem could be that when only vaguely related links are included in the see also section (that are not in the nav box), people tend to think that’s all there is. It’s mostly unclear that the nav box contains the “primary” see also links. --Van helsing 13:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Bot writing

I did not make that presentation. We ran out of time and had a general discussion about Wikipedia at the end of the day. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 00:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mahrajganj

I wanted to explain why I had created Mahrajganj, Mahrajganj. When two towns in the same state (UP) have the same name, the convention is to disambiguate them at the district level. In these case, there are three towns with the same name in one state. (Mahrajganj, Azamgarh, Mahrajganj, Mahrajganj and Mahrajganj, Rae Bareli) Hope that explains. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 21:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vote

We are holding a vote to move name of article from Rebellion of 1857 to War of Independence. If you feel strongly about either one, please come in and vote. Jvalant 08:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Where is the vote happening.
Also why there are two separate pages on same event namely Indian Rebellion of 1857, Indian mutiny. My attempt to redirect faied, may be you can help there (pls note Indian Mutiny where 'M' is in capital letter already redirects to main page i.e. Indian Rebellion of 1857). :
There are several 1857 related pages which is written from Brtishers perspective, if the language can be changed to more neutral then that would be better. Vjdchauhan 12:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Chandrashekhar Azad's Birth place

The fact is that Chandra Shekhar 'Azad' was born in Bhaawra Tehsil of Jhabua district in Madhya Pradesh, not in Badarka village of Unnao in Uttar Pradesh. His father moved from Badarka to Bhaawra before Chandra Shekhar's birth. So the birth place needs to be corrected.-Amod Bhagwat 20:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Amod BhagwatAb_18.

Chandrashekhar Azad's father Pandit Sitaram Tewari was from Badarka, Unnao District in Uttar Pradesh, but Chandrashekhar Azad was born in Bhawra, Jhabua District of Madhya Pradesh. His mother, Jagrani Devi had spent her last years in Jhansi with Sadashiv Rao Malkapurkar, who was a very important man in Chandrashekhar Azad's group. After Chandrashekhar Azad's death, Sadashiv Rao Malkapurkar had been in contact with Jagrani Devi and she had told the fact that Chandrashekhar Azad was born in Bhawra, Jhabua, NOT in Badarka, Unnao. 1 June 2007.

[edit] categories

Since you work a lot in Indian categories I was hoping you could weigh in on this deletion discussion.Bakaman 16:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear VJDChauhan, I have noticed that you added the category [Category:People from Mathura] to a number of articles wherein the subject actually came from elsewhere such as Bangladesh or Orissa (even if they spent some time in Mathura later on). Please could you watch out when adding this category in future. All the best, Gouranga(UK) 19:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Dear Gouranga, 'People from XYZ' doesn't means that the corresponding person is native to that place/born there, it also means the concerned person had spent siginificant time at that place. Check entries of some other notable people on Wikipedia and you will notice thet they belong to more than 1 'People from XYZ' category. Vjdchauhan 20:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Etawah

Hi, I noticed you added categories for people from Etawah. Are you from Etawah ? If so, would it be possible to help me with a google earth placemark for Humeganj / Homeganj in Etawah named after Allan Octavian Hume. His biography notes The high school that he helped build with his own money is still in operation, now as a junior college, and it has a floor plan resembling the letter H. Was wondering if this might be visible. Thanks. Shyamal 13:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Shyamal are you from Etawah. Regarding me well my origins are in Etawah and have relations there but have not lived there. I tried finding Humeganj in Wikimapia but its not listed there. I will ask my cousin (from Etawah) to help me finding that college. Vjdchauhan 15:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC).
Thank you. I will look forward to any information on that. I looked around on Google Earth for any particularly well planned (grid-plan) part of the city and did not find it either. No, I have very little connection to Etawah, except for an interest in Hume via ornithology and a friend who once used to study Sarus Cranes there ! Shyamal 17:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC) (ps:disregard the last edit summary which was in error thanks to an autocomplete suggestion)

[edit] Biographical articles

Thanks for your work to increase Wikipedia's coverage of Indian politics. When adding articles about politicians, please try to include basic biographical data like the nationality, birth year and place of that person (I just added this for Bhagirathi Majhi), for Members of Parliament preferably also the begin of their membership. Regards, High on a tree 16:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Vjdchauhan. It's great to see a fellow KV'ite on Wikipedia. I noticed that you've contributed to the article on Halwara Air Base. I've lived at Halwara for most of my childhood, and studied at KV No. 2. I'll be glad to collaborate with you on articles on KVs and Halwara.

[edit] Hi!

Hi friend. Thanks for your comments my small work! I've been trying to tag the places where I've been. My wikipedia user name is Ab_18 and wikimapia user name is ab_18. But when I listed my wikimapia user name at Alexandre_Koriakine's talk page, it is taking my wikipedia user name, while I want to list my wikimapia user name over there. Is there any way out? Amod Bhagwat 09:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I have seen your name on User talk:Alexandre Koriakine and tweaked a bit. First is you Wikimapia name and second one is your Wikipedia Signature so no issues, Alexandre will handle it accordingly.
As per your contribution on Wikipedia, you primarily work on Jhansi page, may be you can start creating pages on Wikipedia example page on MLBMC, BKD college, BBC College, MLA's of Jhansi, other prominent people from Jhansi whose link still appear as Red link. Have you chec kd Category:Jhansi and Category:People from Jhansi, I have created these categories and put the pages to that category, may be you would like to add those pages to your watchlist. I case of any confusion related to Wikipedia, you can write a note on this very page and I will get back ASAP. Vjdchauhan 09:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for the guidance. I'll start with some places and people in Bundelkhand region. I've checked Category:Jhansi and Category:People from Jhansi and added to my watchlist. You've done a great work of organising related pages under a common title!Amod Bhagwat 10:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, infact I have organized similarly for all districts of UP, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, HP, Uttarakhand and some districts of MP.
While creating page(s), make sure you don't lift the text as is from other website else page will be deleted citing copyright violation (that's the reason why Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi page created by you was deleted), one have to interpret and rewrite the text from some other source not copy-paste. If data is not there then 2-3 line/single para page is enough, also ensure to add some relevant category to the page else it will get lost in this huge encyclopedia.
Amod you should start using 4 tildes for any posts on talk pages i.e. ~~~~, which will automatically add your user name and time to your posts.
Also usages of : will put once comments right indented.
Thanks for your tips! Now the work seems to be easier using these tips.

I'd love your help and any suggestions in this regard. I have created a sandbox page for the labs at User:Sniperz11/Sandbox 3 where I've created infoboxes for the individual DRDO labs.

I've also created general format for the lab pages. I've also created a template for the labs at Template:DRDO Laboratories. The template links to the individual lab pages, or at least to those pages that exist. I request you to help out in creating more pages... the more the merrier. Thanks.

[edit] hi

hey, I just came across your profile from one of the many page of wikipedia. I find that you are from Etawah, and I hail from Agra. It is quiet a pleasure to meet a fellow from UP, because there are hardly any active on wiki and that too at such a frequent level. I have been on wikipedia for quiet a while but started regular editing only frequently. Would be nice to work up with you. Am currently working on Law Commission of India. Let me know if you could give me some hints on the design of the page as I plan to start this page soon enough once I am done filling the content. Cheers. Tarun2k (talk) 21:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tarun, the Law Commission of India page is in good shape, just content needs to be filled up. Vjdchauhan (talk) 06:38, 3 June 2008 (UTC).
