Article creation

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I notice that you have been creating a number of stubs, notably about Indian footballers. Some of these have been proposed for speedy deletion, as listed above. I, myself, have been tagging a lot of your articles with BLPnoreferences. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is including reliable sources for articles. This is particularly true for biographies of living persons. In order to avoid having your hard work deleted, I would suggest that you take a moment to find sources for your articles, before publishing them in mainspace. You can create articles in your userspace, work on them with other editors until you feel that your article is ready to be moved across and published. If you have any questions about any of the points I have raised, please do not hesitate to contact me on my talkpage.

Baljit Singh Sahni

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Baljit Singh Sahni. Our verifiability policy requires that all content be cited to a reliable source. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:10, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. An unreferenced article you recently created does not comply with Wikipedia's policy regarding biographies of living people, so it has been moved into your user space: user:Ash647/Baljit Singh Sahni. Once reliable sources have been added, it may be moved back into the article space. If reliable sources are not added in a reasonable amount of time, the page may be deleted. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Thanks! --MZMcBride (talk) 01:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Durga Boro

The article Durga Boro has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:ATHLETE, has not played in a professional league

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Eddie6705 (talk) 17:56, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Durga Boro

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Durga Boro. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Durga Boro. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of the hard work you are putting into creating the numerous articles about Indian football players. Just a request, in the birth date in the lead, could you put the year, as well as the day and the month?

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Ash647! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Subhashish Roy Chowdhary - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Debrata Roy - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Habibur Rehman Mondal - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Felix D'Souza - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 04:55, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than create unreferenced articles so quickly, please slow down and ensure that your references are fully cited. If references are not available, the articles do not meet notability guidelines and will likely be deleted.--RadioFan (talk) 15:06, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hi there. Do you know of the Wikipedia:Citation template? It can be used in references and citations. SGGH ^ping! 15:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please use these templates rather than leaving unformatted URLs? Thank you. SGGH ^ping! 15:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This permission does not give you any special status or authority
Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page

March 2011

Your recent edit to the page 2010–11 I-League appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you. You are coming across as an editor, who does not give any damn to the Wikipedia policies. Whatever you are trying to push in that table is factually wrong. Period! I have not reverted your edits because I'm an East Bengal fan (which, incidentally, I am), but because your edits have introduced wrong information in to the article. Please stop this.

Hi. When you recently edited Ramandeep Singh (footballer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Punjab (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:14, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
