The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration|Wikipedia arbitration process]]. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. |
|||
The article [[Chembai Stamp]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]  because of the following concern: |
|||
:'''In its own right, this stamp is not notable enough to warrant an article of its own even if it actual issuance is not in doubt. With circa 10,000 new stamps issued worldwide annually few are notable, this opens a can of worms that all stamps should have their own stub. It is not even worth merging into [[Postage stamps and postal history of India]] and if it is not listed [[List of postage stamps|here]] there is no proven notability either.''' |
|||
If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2023/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/{{Arbitration Committee candidate/data|2023|poll}}|voting page]]'''.

WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Assessment|article quality]]. A number of the project's [[WP:FA|featured articles]] underwent [[WP:FAR|featured article reviews]] over the past year. Of these, [[Darjeeling]] and [[Flag of India]] survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, [[Gangtok]], [[Harbhajan Singh]], Darjeeling and [[Mysore]] were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as [[Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760)]], [[Marwari horse]] and [[Iravan]] were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of [[WP:GA|good articles]], however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of [[WP:FL|featured lists]] saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16. |
|||
Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced [[CAT:BLP|Biographies of Living People]] (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/DashBot Unreferenced BLPs|565]] currently. During February-April 2010, There was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=361437108&oldid=361415052 large scale disruption] of [[Kerala]] related articles by a [[Thrissur]] based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP [[BSNL]] connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of [[Malayalam]] and [[Tamil]] film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like [[Arvind Swamy]] as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010. |

After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias. |
|||
Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up [[meta:Wikimedia_India|the Indian chapter of Wikimedia]] have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Wikipedia editing among the general public. In addition, a [https://github.com/srikanthlogic/WikipediaDYKTweeter bot] to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to [http://twitter.com/dykindia Twitter] was created and launched by [[User:Logicwiki]]. |

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while [[Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India]] was saved. Meanwhile, [[Chalukya Dynasty]] appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16. |
|||
The [[Wikipedia:Bot_requests#Replacement_for_the_late_Article_Alert_Bot|source code for the Article Alert Bot is now available]] and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that [[WP:INAA|article alerts for the Indian Wikiproject]] will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. |
|||
The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Outreach/Newsletter/June 2010|previous issue]] made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011. |
|||
In October there was a heated [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANoticeboard_for_India-related_topics&action=historysubmit&diff=393196649&oldid=392948652 discussion] in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of [[User:Wikiality123|Wiki San Roze]]'s party symbol images by [[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue. |

*The uploading of Tamil technical words donated by [[Tamil Virtual University]] to the [http://ta.wiktionary.org Tamil Wiktionary] was completed in October. The words were donated by the [[Government of Tamil Nadu]] due to lobbying efforts by Tamil Wikipedians during the runup to the [[World Classical Tamil Conference 2010]] (WCTC) in June. Nearly 70,000 words were uploaded increasing the word count in Tamil Wiktionary from 1,20,000+ to 1,90,000+. This has brought Tamil to the 10th place (from 17) in the list of [http://s23.org/wikistats/wiktionaries_html.php largest wiktionaries] and has earned it a place in the [http://www.wiktionary.org Wiktionary front page logo].

== 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 [[WP:ASSESS|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012/Guide - Part 1|Part One of the Assessment Guide]]. |
|||
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012/Guide - Part 2|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2012|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. |

== Kshatriya == |
|||
"Kshatriya" is an English word found in English dictionaries - go and look some up. It's origin might be Sanskrit, but once accepted into English usage with an English spelling and included in English dictionaries, it then also becomes and English word - you even said yourself "''also spelt Kshatriya in English''". English is the language of this encyclopedia, and a topic that has an English spelling uses the English spelling - in some cases it may also include the etymological origin, but the etymological origin is not used as the primary spelling. Now, you can carry on edit warring over it with several editors, in which case you will almost certainly end up blocked. Or you can accept that your change has been reverted and go discuss it on the article talk page - and then only redo the change if you get a consensus in support. I would suggest the latter, because the former will not work out well for you. -- [[User:Boing! on Tour|Boing! said Zebedee / on Tour]] ([[User talk:Boing! on Tour|talk]]) 05:54, 24 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:You have twice reverted my edit on Kshatriya. I am not interested in a revert war with you and am not going to update that article. |
|||
:Just so you know, I was not trying to insert the word in the [[Devanagari]] script which is the native script Sanskrit is most commonly written in. Go and have a look at the [[Devanagari]] page just so you can know what you are talking about. |
|||
:[[IAST]] is the academic standard for transliterating [[Sanskrit]] words into English. All Sanskrit words in Wikipedia are transliterated to English using [[IAST]], that is what I did in this article, and that is what all Sanskrit scholars and academics do in their books. |

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Islam in the United Kingdom]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[British]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Islam_in_the_United_Kingdom|check to confirm]] | [[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Islam_in_the_United_Kingdom|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small> |

[[Prithu]] has been nominated for a good article reassessment.

[edit]
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Indian revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Kautilya3 (talk) 19:24, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
- I have not added any unsourced content, I simply removed biased non NPOV content. Please stop edit warring or explain why you want to include biased sources. Srkris (talk) 10:36, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
ARBIPA sanctions alert
[edit]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
You might have your views, but you need to edit Wikipedia according to policies. Kautilya3 (talk) 19:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
