Recent edit to Dhobi Ghat

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dhobi Ghat, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of cities and towns of Hungary into Hungary. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 14:12, 8 June 2020 (UTC)Reply


Signatures

Hi. Please sign your messages on discussion (talk) pages by adding a space and four tildes to the end of the last line of your message, like this:

This is the last line of the message. ~~~~

The four tildes will be automatically converted to a signature that contains your linked username and a timestamp, which helps readers understand who said what.

If you have customized your signature (as I believe you have), please take note of WP:CUSTOMSIG, which requires that a signature include at least one link to your user or talk pages, which your current signature does not. This can be fixed by going to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal, to the "Signature" section about half way down. I believe you have placed ANUPAM DUTTA in the signature field and checked the "Treat the above as wiki markup", which is causing it to use that as your entire signature (with no link). You should uncheck the "Treat ..." checkbox. Better still, also blank out the signature field so it uses the default signature with your actual usename and links to your talk and contribs. This helps other users communicate with you effectively. Thanks for your attention to this detail.   —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 18:06, 13 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I saw your new sig. Thanks for doing that – looks good.   BTW, the "talk" link actually points to your user page instead of your talk page (i.e., you probably meant the [[User:Anupamdutta73|talk]] to be [[User talk:Anupamdutta73|talk]]). —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 09:31, 29 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Anupamdutta73/List Dist India 2020

Hi! I moved Anupamdutta73/List Dist India 2020 to User:Anupamdutta73/List Dist India 2020 as from the name it was clear you intended to create a user space page.--Eostrix  (🦉 hoot hoot🦉]) 11:19, 29 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Regarding that table, note that {| class="wikitable sortable" |style="number-align:right;" is incorrect. It should, instead be {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:right;" (remove the '|' and change "number" to "text" – there is no "number-align" property AFAIK). However, since there are only two number columns that should be right-aligned, you probably want to instead just right-align the individual number cells to avoid all of the ugly right-aligned text, placing the style in front of each such number: | style="text-align:right" | 708,952. As mentioned at the Teahouse, there is sadly, even surprisingly, no way to specify a style for an entire column.
Please also note that section titles (==Something==) and table headers (! something) should not have additional bold markup ('''something''') – the table headers are already bold by default and the section titles have their own appropriate style already. See MOS:BOLD for the very limited places which need bold markup. Thanks. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 11:43, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Dear User:AlanM1, With your active and strong guidance, my "Alphabetical List of Districts of India" is ready for publication.... Can you please do the needful ? Cheers Anupam Dutta (talk) 13:00, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Note the bolding issue still remains, the numbers are not right-justified yet, but most importantly, there is no source cited. Do the numbers match the other article? I think you need to first discuss merging it, or at last how to justify and name it at Talk:List of districts in India, which is largely duplicative. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 20:09, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
 

 

Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020.

                 Current and upcoming events

September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

Drive and Blitz reports

June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Other news

June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. Reidgreg took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Other news

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community.

Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above).

Women in Red

Hi there, Anupamdutta73, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to hear you are interested in translating articles about Bengali women into English. I see you have considerable experience as an editor but have not yet created and articles. You should therefore find it useful to read through our Ten Simple Rules and perhaps some of our other essays. You might also be interested in looking through our Redlists index where you will find a number of lists related to India. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:29, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Dear Ipigott, Thanks for your mail... I mainly edit articles in Bengali.... Till now, I have created new 360 articles in Bengali through translations.... You are right in saying I need help in this Project.. I will definitely ping you if i feel lost after going through all the details..... Thanks in advance.... Anupam Dutta (talk) 08:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Further, can you please clarify how to submit articles after translation ? Anupam Dutta (talk) 08:49, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
You should first create a draft as User:Anupamdutta73/article name. When you think it is ready for article space you can let me know and I'll take a look. If it's up to standard, I can move it to article space. Perhaps for your first biography, you should start writing about someone who is no longer living for whom there are at least three good secondary sources. It's not too easy to write about living people. Good luck!--Ipigott (talk) 09:15, 18 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dear Ipigott, I have translated <<Anni Kärävä>> from Finnish to Bangla..... kindly let me know how mark the article .... Thank you. Anupam Dutta (talk) 07:56, 19 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter
 

 

Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here.

Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here.

Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here.

Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can.

Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December. Voting begins at 00:01 on 16 December and closes at 23:59 on 31 December. All editors in good standing (not under ArbCom or community sanctions) are eligible and self-nominations are welcomed. Coordinators serve a six-month term that ends at 23:59 on June 30. If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers and best seasonal wishes from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Tenryuu, and Zippybonzo.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter error

The GOCE December 2022 newsletter, as sent on 9 December, contains an erroneous start date for our December Blitz. The Blitz will start on 11 December rather than on 17 December, as stated in the newsletter. I'm sorry for the mistake and for disrupting your talk page; thanks for your understanding.
