Mithunda
I have Mithunda's photo as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa from that film which I already uploaded and ( you removed it ), I am planning to scan it perfectly to upload it again as it might be the only photograph of Mithunda as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. It is a must as I could n't see any other similar photos in web too. Mithunda jokes is good, and you can start it...I will update.. Yes, Mithundas fanbase is amazing..

Karna Article
HI, need your help. I linked the references to the public domain English translation of the Mahabharata by Krishna Mohan Ganguly which is available online and crossed referenced with other translations to verify the information. Is it a unreliable source? Please let me know why. As for links being dead, I'll try to remedy that. Maglorbd (talk) 05:10, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
- All references I checked returned 404 error. I could not check any. I commented on checking the site name. --Tito☸Dutta 06:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks pointing out the errors. I have added a reference in "Karna's Family section against Vrishaketu. Please let me know if you can access that site - it contains a translation of the Mahabharata. I will correct the other references accordingly.Maglorbd (talk) 10:19, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
- No, do not add information directly interpreting Mahabharata. You are doing works very poorly. --Tito☸Dutta 10:32, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
HI, I was just adding reference available in this site: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m08/m08075.htm. Which gives an English translation of the Mahabharata, not trying to interpret them. There is a note saying the article needed citation.Maglorbd (talk) 09:46, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip - does this mean all links to raw Mahabharata should be removed? And there are lots of scholarly works - but they also quote either raw Mahabharata or the Puranas or Harivansha as their sourse - will that be alright?59.152.99.3 (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Request for Opinion/Suggestions on Bengali Kayastha Dispute
Hello TitoDutta
The last best version of the article on Bengali Kayastha, which has been informally reviewed by several senior editors/reviewers, has recently been a subject matter of debate. Though all the statements mentioned in the last best version are reliably sourced, and in fact reviewed and edited by Sitush himself long time back, now all of a sudden he refuses to accept. Anyway, the good part is that at least we are engaged in talk page discussions. If you are interested about the topic, I would like to request you to suggest or let us know your valuable opinion as a senior editor. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014
→ Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).
Need advice
Need your advise. Are these a relevant starting point? Google Scholar that is acceptable? Google Books has some books on Karna like this one: this work. Also, if the raw Mahabharata has a comment like "Karna's brother" or "Karna's son Satyasen" in one chapter - would using that as reference be misinterpreted?Maglorbd (talk) 15:17, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- G scolar is not a source, its articles might be. Scholarly works are highly welcome. Please spend some time to learn Wikipedia citation style WP:REFB and read WP:RS, WP:V. You may find a mentor at WP:Adopt who'll help you. Tito☸Dutta 15:22, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your notice! I can't find the talk about Archive.is, what happened? I checked the history of the Administrators' noticeboard page and still couldn't locate the page. — Ark25 (talk) 19:49, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

RefScript
Wow, thank you very much for promoting that script! It's a shame there is no such script in use at the moment, it would save thousands of hours wasted for writing references and external links. I will add 5 or 10 more websites and update the script starting with right now and I will update it. Can you suggest some newspaper websites to add to the script that would make it more attractive? I should add some frequently quoted newspapers but I'm not sure which ones are those. — Ark25 (talk) 14:31, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
- There are many. Only in WP India's English newspapers, we need these articles click on show/hide newspapers. I was testing the script today morning, it is working fine in more or less in every page I tried. Here are some tests.

In the example 2 above, the newspaper was detected as "Telegraphindia.com", it is fine. Tito☸Dutta 18:54, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Well, it's supposed to work with any ".com", ".org" or ".net" web site, but it doesn't detect the publication date and author name. In order to work best with a website, I have to "teach" the program (add code) so it knows how to detect author and publication date in that website. I updated the script and it now it knows how to handle The Times of India.
<ref name="The_Times_of_India_2014-05-10c">{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/lok-sabha-elections-2014/news/Election-war-rooms-now-target-Wikipedia/articleshow/33841408.cms |title=Election war-rooms now target Wikipedia |newspaper=The Times of India |date= April 17, 2014 |last=Jayanta Deka |accessdate=May 10, 2014}}</ref>
now the title doesn't contain the string " - The Times of India" and the name of the newspaper is changed from "Timesofindia.indiatimes.com" into "The Times of India". And it has the author and the publication date. I noticed many editors are very scrupulous with those details.
You can change how the script generates the publication and access date in UK or US or YYYY-MM-DD format by changing the line var Date_Format = "US";
Here it's the same reference, with UK-style date:
<ref name="The_Times_of_India_2014-05-10c">{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/lok-sabha-elections-2014/news/Election-war-rooms-now-target-Wikipedia/articleshow/33841408.cms |title=Election war-rooms now target Wikipedia |newspaper=The Times of India |date= 17 April 2014 |last=Jayanta Deka |accessdate=10 May 2014}}</ref>
I will try to do the drag-and drop thing too in the next few days. — Ark25 (talk) 17:10, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Bengali Kayastha
Please discuss if you have any issues with the lead section. The statement is reliably sourced, that too citing two reliable sources. The main concern of Sitush was copyright vio, which has been taken care of. Please go through the references at least. As a senior editor, you can understand, we cannot keep the lead section blank for ever. Even Sitush has never questioned the reliability of Andre Wink or Tej Ram Sharma. I have always maintained that all editors (especially seniors like you) are always welcome to suggest constructive improvements. Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 12:56, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
