History of Mumbai

I noticed today that you have re-added the FAC template on the article talk page and have created Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/History of Mumbai to renominate the article. You did not, however, list the new nomination at WP:FAC, so the nomination is incomplete at the moment. The FAC instructions suggest taking more time before renominating ("If a nomination is archived, the nominator should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating—typically at least a few weeks"). I see you have done a major amount of work on the article since the previous FAC was archived, though. I would suggest that, before completing the nomination by listing it at WP:FAC, it would be wise to approach those who opposed the previous nomination, to ensure that you have satisfied their concerns from last time. Good luck! Maralia (talk) 04:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

GA for the mumbai attacks

Finally its moving, I saw you have done some edits. As a suggestion, usually in GA reviews, one uses the {{done}} template followed by explanation and signature, when addressing the issues raised. That way we all know who did what, and also call attention to the fact that things are addressed to the reviewer. I will be editing too, lets do it!!! --Cerejota (talk) 08:34, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

History of Mumbai

You're looking at the About page of that specific edition. Worldcat indicates that there are three different editions. The first one was published in 1900. The others are reissues. BuddingJournalist 16:11, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Userbox for GA reviews

The userbox {{User Good Articles reviewed}} has been updated so that it can now link to a page in your user subspace where you keep track of all your GA reviews, if you have such a page. This can be done by adding a | and then the name of your user subpage (or subsection of your regular user page) wherever you have the template called. For example, on my user page I am using

{{User Good Articles reviewed|6|User:Rjanag/GA reviews}}

which displays as

This user has reviewed 6 Good Article nominations on Wikipedia.

There is more information on how to do this at Template:User Good Articles reviewed.

Note: If you are not interested in doing this, you don't have to do anything; the template will still work for you exactly as it does now.

Duke of Wellington and Catholicism

Dear John,

how many things I don't know! And what amazing things. I blame it on living at the bottom of the world. But at least it's peaceful down here.

Anyway, the reason I'm dropping a line is because I was reading about our old friend Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington, and I rather belatedly discovered that when he was Prime Minister, he pushed through legislation for "Catholic Emancipation", i.e. civil rights for Catholics under British rule in Ireland as it was back then.

Anyway, it didn't surprise me that Wellesley, while in India would have taken special trouble to look after any Indian Catholics, Irishmen and Catholicism have a very long association, and Arthur was one of them—to the hilt. So here's the thing.

One of his Protestant opponents in Parliament "crossed the line" and spoke too rudely about the PM's actions (in his opinion), so he privately demanded satisfaction via a duel. When the whole thing went public, some condemned the hypocrisy of the PM breaking the law against dueling, however, the general consensus was that other parliamentarians were cowardly not to resolve issues in such a brave and direct way. I can understand the sentiment, but it's a little too bloodthirsty for me. At least the good thing about it was that Protestants, by and large, admired Wellington putting his life on the line over the issue, and quit complaining. If you ask me, they jolly well should have too, it's scandalous that they could have been insisting on some of the things they were insisting on—we're talking basic civil rights here.

If you've at least a passing interest in this fine man, Arthur Wellesley, there's lots about him everywhere, but King's College, London have a bit of a write up about him, because they claim him as defacto founder of a sort. Short, non-technical text with links to the duel and other things are at their website.

Best wishes my friend, Alastair Haines (talk) 15:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Annabelle Wallace.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 20:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

FAR on Mumbai

I have nominated Mumbai for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Cirt (talk) 03:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Harvnb style

If we use Harvnb in Mumbai, I guess most, if not all, book references will need to be converted to that style, rather than cite book which is prevalent in the article (in order to maintain same reference style throughout). This will take some effort. I have personally used Harvnb a lot and like them more than cite book, for book references. Do you think we should convert cite books to Harvnb? If we decide not to do that, then your last added book reference (on archeology) will need to be converted to cite book format. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes I agree with you. Multiple references from a single book definitely needs Harvnb. And it is usually the preferred style in FAs. Even if a book is used only once or twice, Harvnb looks more aesthetically appealing than the regular cite book. But, in this particular article, it may be practical, for now, to stick to cite book. If we are able to address FAR concerns quickly and adequately, then indeed we can convert all the book references to Harvnb, which is definitely better than cite book. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Goa

Why do you think that there is no need to take account of Sambhaji's conquest of Goa in this article? Haven't other kingdoms been mentioned in the history? The fact about the Maratha invasion can be slimmed down but should be mentioned. Kesangh (talk) 15:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, as i see it, the template:{{Portuguese overseas empire}} is too big a template. As such there are many Indian places which at some point of time were ruled by some or the other kingdoms. Are we going to include the details of all such kingdoms in the respective places’ articles? In some articles these templates are even bigger than the article itself. Isn’t it enough if we just mention the kingdom which ruled the city? I was a relative newcomer when i deleted these templates(and probably, even today, i am a newcomer). I don’t ought to get such a warning. When my edits were reverted, i didn’t redo my edits.

I want you to know that i don’t have any intention of glorifying the Marathas or denigrating the Portuguese. If in anyway i have included POV thoughts in my edits of Goa, then that would have happened unknowingly, i just wanted to put forth the facts. By the way, keeping aside the 'Body of St. Xavier' thing, in what way is 'Sambhaji controlled the irate people of Goa who rose in rebellion and started thrashing the Christian priests' a POV, forced conversions carried out by Portuguese in Goa is an open secret.

I am planning to add the following text in Goa- 'Then, Chhatrapati Sambhaji invaded Goa. Marathas stormed Goa and started winning Portuguese territory and forts one be one. Common people in Goa rose in rebellion against the Christian priests, whom they accused of carrying out forced conversions. However, Sambhaji had to depart from Goa to tackle the Mughal army (sent by Aurangzeb) that had entered the Maratha kingdom'. Does this still have any issues? Kesangh (talk) 17:24, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Kesangh

Kensplanet, its nice to see that you took time out for this and have come up with something with which i have no objection. Thanks for your co-operation. I understand that my contributed text had some limitations, but somehow i wasn’t able to rectify it, all of which we have discussed earlier. By the way, Sambhaji invaded Goa in the late 17th century and not in the early 18th century. As suggested by you, i am making the relevant changes to the article. Kindly see that they don't get reverted, possibly by Deepak D'Souza.

However, i still stand by what i said in saying that i don’t ought to get such a warning from you. I was a relative newcomer when i deleted the template in question (and probably, even today, i am a newcomer). When my edits were reverted, i didn’t redo my edits. Please be careful: do not bite the newcomers, you could have politely pointed out my mistake. Kesangh (talk) 14:50, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
