Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma

Hi Fasi100' Thanks for your rating, edits and suggestions. I want to know which parts you found to be like an advertisement also lacking neutrality, so that i can edit those parts. I would really appreciate if you could give me a more detailed opinion regarding these things.

The problem with Chithira Thirunal's early life is that, only very little info is available. He had a difficult childhood due to the actions of his paternal uncle, seperation of his parents, assassination attempts during childhood etc. but i do not have any source to cite regarding this with me(hope somebody else will add all that). Besides the man was revered through out his life by the general public and even now, he led a principled life as well (no drinking, smoking or womanizing) unlike other Indian royals, so he has a positive aura about him in the minds of historians & writers. He was unmarried, so not much is written about that. Now about controversies or allegations, may be i can dig up some thing about his reign and again not about his personal life, seems his private life was a mystery. I have heard rumours regarding his secret love marriage and having a child but again don't have any references and feel it is unsuitable for Wiki. Mostly, the books relied on in the article are by A. Sreedhara Menon(prominent kerala historian), Gauri Lakshmi Bayi and V. P. Menon, i think. The rest is all news article from well-known news papers. I will look for other references but the above said things are the limitations. So it will be very helpful if point out the parts you found to be problematic, so that it can be discussed and dealt with by other editors as well. Thank You. --India142 (talk) 14:24, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

World rivers

Hi At this link on my user page we talked about an update of the rivers on a world map. I just got confused if you where supposed to get back to me with the information on what to change or what?
I'm not either sure if we discussed this somewhere else also. I think it would be easier (for me anyway) if you could start a separate section or request for this and giving me a ping. Get back to me, thanks. --Goran tek-en (talk) 17:15, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Goran tek-en Yes we discussed that. I tried to start it one day but couldn't carry on; work is tedious and information resources are scarce. And then I got busy with my university work. Apologies for keeping you waiting; should've informed you the same day. So the current status is: I will do that, in bits and pieces, and it may stretch along a month or two. Once its done, I will post it on Lab Workshop. Meanwhile, if you know of a good online resource that is detailed and accurate, please post it here. Thanks. --Fasi100 (talk) 20:29, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Fasi100 No problems but it's always good to know.

July 2014

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Goher Mumtaz (singer) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 20:03, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Dear Malik Shabazz, I understand your concern, but this is not a cut-and-paste move. The two pages Goher Mumtaz (singer) and Goher Mumtaz already existed - I just started developing the lesser developed one. They were redirected to each other and with Jal (band) in weird ways so I wanted to start fresh. But anyway, thanks for the move. Now its all fine. --Fasi100 (talk) 23:02, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Great. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 23:04, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm having trouble resolving an issue related to moving pages. I want to move QB (singer) to QB, but since QB is an already existing article, I can't perform this move. Can you help. Should I file QB for deletion and then make the move? --Fasi100 (talk) 23:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, you can use {{db-move}} to request the move. In this case, though, you might want to consider whether the singer is the most common use of the letters QB, or whether the disambiguation page belongs there. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 23:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation page

Hello. I see that you've recently moved the disambiguation content in QB (disambiguation) from QB. I'm inclined to create a redirect from the latter page to the former page using the {{R from ambiguous page}} tag, but I'm wondering why you moved the page content in the first place. Per WP:D, pages ending with (disambiguation) are created only if there is a primary topic, and there doesn't appear to be any. If there is no primary topic, then the page should be moved back to QB. KJ ^{«Click Here»} 01:47, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes there is a primary topic. I want to move QB (singer) to QB; since that's the name on singer's social media profiles and more importantly her record labels. Can you please help me move it. Thanks. --Fasi100 (talk) 11:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

With all due respect, I must disagree. Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, topics are generally held to be primary in terms of 'usage' and 'long-term significance.' I doubt that users mainly intend QB (singer) when they're searching for QB, and also that QB (singer) has long-term significance as a topic, given that the subject's Wikipedia article has just one reference. Also, since a Google Search result doesn't seem to show a particular primary topic, I'm more inclined to urge a consensus that there is no primary topic and simply disambiguate with the term QB. Is that alright? KJ ^{«Click Here»} 12:49, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Dear Kkj11210, In QB (disambiguation) there is hardly anything that is primarily knows as QB (except that its is an abbreviation of Quarterback). But in case of QB (singer), QB is not an abbreviation but THE word representing the singer.

• As for the quality of her Wiki page, I intend to work on that in coming weeks; most of Pakistani singers' wiki pages are of poor quality - rated stub or start. That's just a failure of Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan. Wiki pages can't be used to judge a person's worth.

• As for Google search, Google picks up info for "Knowledge Graph" from Wikipedia. Until few days ago, the singer's wiki page was wrongly named Qurat-ul-ain Balouch. That's precisely what I want to achieve with this move - an end to the confusion. How about you try search result for QB Singer or, for long term significance, search result for QuratulAin Balouch.

I believe Wikipedia, being the prime source of info on the web, should do justice to an artist's name. I hope my arguments are convincing enough. Looking forward to hear from you. Regards. --Fasi100 (talk) 15:14, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but neither are adequate justifications to change the title of the page. While it may be true that the singer is represented by the word QB, the word QB does not represent the singer. I.e. the singer is just one of the representations of the initials QB, with the other contents currently present at the QB (disambiguation page)

The thing is, when there are more than one subject that could be referred to by a word or phase, Wikipedia creates disambiguation pages to direct searchers to the appropriate target. To put this in perspective, you may be searching for Quarterback or the singer when you type QB into the search box. Wikipedia has no way of knowing which choice the searcher prefers, so the searcher is redirected to a page with all potential subjects so he can choose whichever one he was looking for. This is the case of most ambiguous terms with multiple possible subjects.

Now, in some cases, there may be a 'primary topic' for the search term. For instance, when you search for the word 'Einstein,' you are automatically redirected to the Albert Einstein article since people who are searching for Einstein is most likely to be searching for the Albert Einstein. Now, there's a possibility that the reader was searching for the crater also named Einstein; possible, but very unlikely. In cases like this, when there is a primary topic as generally described in WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the primary topic is allowed to have the page of the term, either directly or through a redirect. And, of course, the other Einsteins all get a mention at the Albert Einstein page, as a hatnote.

Now, in this case, arguing that the singer should have the QB page means demonstrating that the singer is the primary topic for the term QB. The google search was mentioned to lend weight that people looking for QB will not generally look for the singer. To put this in comparison, virtually all of the first page of the google search for Einstein shows the physicist as the topic.

I'm not suggesting that the singer must be as famous as Einstein to have the term page as the target, but simply that people should be looking for the singer when they search for QB. In this case, google search for QB singer would be irrelevant because it will naturally lead to the singer's page, but that's why the article is named QB (singer) and not QB. To demonstrate that the singer needs the target page, the singer must be demonstrated as a primary topic. Similarly, the article's quality was not a concern, just a note that the singer might not have enough notability as a primary topic. I highly advise that the disambiguation page is moved back to QB, and the current page redirect there as a {{R to disambiguation}} page. Cheers. KJ ^{«Click Here»} 05:23, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Portrait of Vivek Chibber, academic and sociologist.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Vivek Chibber, academic and sociologist.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 18:45, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

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.} 02:03, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
