- No problem, it was on my watchlist so I saw your note right away... The new article will need some work... IPSOS (talk) 01:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds interesting, but not my cup of tea. I like Indian music, but know almost nothing about it but what my ears tell me. I will help with formatting and layout and the like if asked, though. IPSOS (talk) 01:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to the Wikipedia 1.0 Review Team!
[edit]Hi Gautam, Thanks for signing up to help. I apologise for being slow to reply, we've been very busy with the Version 0.5 release. Please let me know what you'd like to do, or just read the FAQ page and start reviewing. Thanks! Walkerma 02:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Professor Wakerma: Thanks for your note in my discussion. I am a Biology and Music student, and would like to edit or manage those articles. I hope to be of some help! Thanks. Gautam Discuss 03:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the swift reply. Interesting that you're a music student - I just went this evening to watch a senior recital by one of my friends who's graduating from the Crane School of Music (she did fine!). It would be great if you can review any biology articles, including adding your comments on this dinosaur list. I'd also appreciate it if you could nominate some suitable animals, birds, etc. Could you also consider putting together a set nomination of musical instruments? After Version 0.5 was put together, I felt this was one glaring omission - the only instrument we have is a Chinese traditional one. Can you help? These are just some ideas. Thanks, Walkerma 03:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- I also see a lot of music articles listed at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations, you may be able to review those (I did piano). Regarding your question - I'm guessing that you're referring to the set nominations. I'll have to add a piece to the FAQ page on those. Meanwhile, look at the discussion under the dinosaur list, and you'll see the kind of thing - how important are the topics, how good are the articles, are there articles missing, or should some be omitted? That kind of thing. Regarding the single article reviewing - consider the importance of the topic, and then review the article to see if it's OK to include. For most topics of reasonable significance (like most of the music articles on the general nominations page), we look for a decent B-Class quality. That means we tolerate perhaps one of the common weaknesses - one major aspect not covered, poor English in places, poor referencing - but not all of these together. You chould be able to review an article in about 10-15 minutes. Thanks, Walkerma 06:52, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

You may have noticed that I have started producing a [for a raga project]. My aim is to list all the major ragas by the end of the year, and add even some esoteric or less common ones as well. Gautam Discuss 18:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- The Raga Project pushes forth...I have done around 20 or so pages for Ragas using the template. Gautam Discuss 05:29, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Custom signature fix needed
[edit]Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are obsolete and in the wrong order.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
- Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
- Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
- Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.
Current signature:
[[User:Gautam3|<b><font color="#D98719">Gautam]] '''</b></font></big><sup><small>[[User_Talk:Gautam3|<font color=#008800>Discuss]]</sup></small>
Fixed signature:
<b>[[User:Gautam3|<span style="color:#D98719;">Gautam</span>]] <sup><small>[[User_Talk:Gautam3|<span style="color:#008800;">Discuss</span>]]</small></sup></b>
More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:34, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
