== Need pointers to help contribute to wikipedia ==

Below I asked about definitions of wiktionary belows, now I have free time and would like to help contribute however I can, can you point me to the users you mentioned and I'll ask further from them.

== A question regarding sanskirt wikitionary definitions==

Why are Sanskrit wikitionary definitions so incomprehensive?

The page doesn't even show all the verb forms, let alone participals. The noun forms are alright but there are lots of pages that simply don't exist (marked in red) and have pages that go nowhere. Hell, some words arent even defined. For the Latin definitions on the other hand, a page exists for every single noun and verb form (which is a great convince for learners). What is the matter here, is there some technical difficulty with the dictionary sources or just lack of community involvement? <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:VultureV1|VultureV1]] ([[User talk:VultureV1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/VultureV1|contribs]]) 09:58, 20 September 2017 (UTC)</small> 
: {{reply|VultureV1}} There are only 3 people with any interest in Sanskrit at Wiktionary. Only one (not me) knows any Lua, so the onus comes on them to implement the conjugation and declension tables sadly. Latin has dozens of Wiktionary editors and several bots. Latin has more focus since almost all Latin learners know English, whereas most Sanskrit learners and acharyas only speak an Indian languages at a native level. Naturally, they will not contribute to the English Wiktionary. Finally, all the inflected forms are made by bots, and as of now no bots have been running to add such entries for Sanskrit. <span style="color:blue;">[[User:Aryamanarora|Aryamanarora]]<sup>''[[User talk:Aryamanarora|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Aryamanarora|contribs]]''</sup></span> 12:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

== Sind Province (1936-47) ==

Hi, i see you quickly reverted an edit that I made at [[Sind Province (1936-47)]], which was fine to do. I was myself just checking the edit and was figuring out that the links I put in were not correct, in fact needed to be changed, and was proceeding with that. You were right to indicate it was not correct, thanks. However, now I see that the whole new article is a duplicate of [[Sind Province (1936–55)]], an article which existed since 2002. So, the current article should be redirected, and any different new content should be merged. Do you want to do the redirecting and merging? To implement the redirect, you just erase the current content and replace it with <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Sind Province (1936–55)]]</nowiki>
cheers,

:I was hoping that [[Sind Province (1936-55)]] could be split, but there seems to be no support. I suppose I'll do that. <span style="color:blue;">[[User:Aryamanarora|Aryamanarora]]<sup>''[[User talk:Aryamanarora|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Aryamanarora|contribs]]''</sup></span> 15:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
::I see you did the redirect, good. In the 1936-55 article, there is only one sentence in section [[Sind Province (1936-55)#1936–1947]], so it doesn't look like it needs to be split out. You could develop that section with whatever you were intending to put into a separate article. And eventually ask for support in splitting, if you still think that would be good, at its Talk page.
::By the way, i edited the 1936-55 article's mention of adjacent princely states and provinces. This included fixing wikilinks and also adding provinces that were not mentioned before. And I reorganized it to mention them in clockwise order. There are some simplifications, e.g. that [[West Punjab]] was a province during only 1947-1955, which I was mentioning in one version but took out. Sind was in fact bordered by West Punjabe, at least for some of the larger date range. I think it it is narrated accurately now but I'd be very happy if you would check and refine it if necessary. It's the section [[Sind Province (1936–55)#Location]].

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5 ==

<div style="padding-left:80px; padding-top:20px;">
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • October 2015'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''We did it!'''</div>

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis|Cannabis]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology|Evolutionary Biology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana|Ghana]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Hampshire|Hampshire]], and [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Health|Women's Health]]. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology|WikiProject Women in Technology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red|Women in Red]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]]. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|Pilots]] page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our [[:File:WikiProject X presentation - Wikimania 2015.pdf|slides]] are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Final|grant report]] filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The work continues!'''</div>

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. '''[[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|Comments on the proposal are welcome]]'''. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|renewal proposal]].

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?'''</div>

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what ''you'' think. The session is being '''[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113973 planned on Phabricator]''', the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/ login page]. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

A tag has been placed on [[:Shabdkosh]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
* It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information.
*It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.''), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Shabdkosh|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 04:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • January 2016'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''What comes next'''</div>

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects ''harder''.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
* Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the [[User:Reports bot|Reports Bot]] reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
* One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
* Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|talk page]].

Until next time,

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • February 2016'''</div>

This month:
{{-}}
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''One database for Wikipedia requests'''</div>

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing '''Wikipedia Requests''', a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • March / April 2016'''</div>

This month:
{{-}}
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia'''</div>

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce '''[https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en Wikipedia Requests]''' is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]], [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]], or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]] (which I work on as part of my [[WP:NIOSH|NIOSH]] duties) and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists|WikiProject Women scientists]].

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the [https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en/add Add form] to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{tl|Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying <code>article=</code>, <code>category=</code>, or <code>wikiproject=</code>, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{tlx|Wikipedia Requests|2=category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Help us build our list!'''</div>

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project]] and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''An open database means new tools'''</div>

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]] generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: '''[https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en Citation Hunt]''', the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name <code>s52475__wpx_p</code>. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called <code>projectindex</code>. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''On the horizon'''</div>

* The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
* The [[meta:WikiCite 2016|WikiCite]] meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111066 requested by the Wikipedia Library] back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

== Supporting Indian Wikipedia Program resource distribution ==

In 2017 - 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups will pilot a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program (Code name: Project Tiger) will:
:(a) Support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and
:(b) Sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

The objective of the program is to provide laptops and internet stipends for existing editors who need support to contribute more actively. 50 basic model Acer Chromebooks and Internet stipends for 100 contributors are available for distribution. Provided resources are the sole property of the beneficiaries and should be used for the betterment of the movement.

If you're an active Wikimedian, and interested to receive support from this project, please apply. It will take around 10 minutes of your time, and will ask descriptive questions about your contribution to Indic Wikimedia projects.

*'''Apply at: [[:m:Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program#Apply for support|Supporting Indian Language Wikipedias Program#Apply for support]]'''

== Etymology of ''sitar''/''setar''==

Hi Aryaman, I hope you don't mind me talking here to curb mass editing on Wiktionary which means I may not edit very often for some time. So, with the word {{wikt-lang|en|sitar}}, the etymology over there says it's from Persian. However, another word {{wikt-lang|en|setar}} exists which more represents the Persian terms. Isn't ''sitar'' sound more like it's from Hindustani and then Persian, and if yes, can you fix it there? — <sup>they call me</sup> [[User:Awesomemeeos|'''AWESOME''']][[Special:Contributions/Awesomemeeos|meeos]] ... [[User_talk:Awesomemeeos|[ˈɔɪ̯]]]! 23:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
: {{reply|Awesomemeeos}} Yes, ''sitar'' is indeed from Hindi-Urdu, but the word in Hindi-Urdu is further borrowed from Persian. The pronunciation in Hindi-Urdu reflects the pronunciation in early [[Dari]] (or, depending on the time frame, even [[Classical Persian]]) because most Persian-speaking invaders entered the Indian river basins by way of mountain passes in through Afghanistan, historically. Iranian Persian, which is used in our transliteration of Persian, has diverged greatly from Classical Persian and modern Dari. <span style="color:blue;">[[User:AryamanA|Aryaman<sup>A</sup>]] <sup>(''[[User talk:AryamanA|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/AryamanA|contribs]]'')</sup></span> 00:38, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

VultureV1: /* A question regarding sanskirt wikitionary definitions */

== A question regarding sanskirt wikitionary definitions==

Why are Sanskrit wikitionary definitions so incomprehensive?

The page doesn't even show all the verb forms, let alone participals. The noun forms are alright but there are lots of pages that simply don't exist (marked in red) and have pages that go nowhere. Hell, some words arent even defined. For the Latin definitions on the other hand, a page exists for every single noun and verb form (which is a great convince for learners). What is the matter here, is there some technical difficulty with the dictionary sources or just lack of community involvement? <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:VultureV1|VultureV1]] ([[User talk:VultureV1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/VultureV1|contribs]]) 09:58, 20 September 2017 (UTC)</small>

== Sind Province (1936-47) ==

Hi, i see you quickly reverted an edit that I made at [[Sind Province (1936-47)]], which was fine to do. I was myself just checking the edit and was figuring out that the links I put in were not correct, in fact needed to be changed, and was proceeding with that. You were right to indicate it was not correct, thanks. However, now I see that the whole new article is a duplicate of [[Sind Province (1936–55)]], an article which existed since 2002. So, the current article should be redirected, and any different new content should be merged. Do you want to do the redirecting and merging? To implement the redirect, you just erase the current content and replace it with <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Sind Province (1936–55)]]</nowiki>
cheers,

:I was hoping that [[Sind Province (1936-55)]] could be split, but there seems to be no support. I suppose I'll do that. <span style="color:blue;">[[User:Aryamanarora|Aryamanarora]]<sup>''[[User talk:Aryamanarora|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Aryamanarora|contribs]]''</sup></span> 15:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
::I see you did the redirect, good. In the 1936-55 article, there is only one sentence in section [[Sind Province (1936-55)#1936–1947]], so it doesn't look like it needs to be split out. You could develop that section with whatever you were intending to put into a separate article. And eventually ask for support in splitting, if you still think that would be good, at its Talk page.
::By the way, i edited the 1936-55 article's mention of adjacent princely states and provinces. This included fixing wikilinks and also adding provinces that were not mentioned before. And I reorganized it to mention them in clockwise order. There are some simplifications, e.g. that [[West Punjab]] was a province during only 1947-1955, which I was mentioning in one version but took out. Sind was in fact bordered by West Punjabe, at least for some of the larger date range. I think it it is narrated accurately now but I'd be very happy if you would check and refine it if necessary. It's the section [[Sind Province (1936–55)#Location]].

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5 ==

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|left|70px]]
<div style="padding-left:80px; padding-top:20px;">
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • October 2015'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''We did it!'''</div>

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis|Cannabis]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology|Evolutionary Biology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana|Ghana]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Hampshire|Hampshire]], and [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Health|Women's Health]]. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology|WikiProject Women in Technology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red|Women in Red]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]]. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|Pilots]] page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our [[:File:WikiProject X presentation - Wikimania 2015.pdf|slides]] are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Final|grant report]] filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The work continues!'''</div>

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. '''[[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|Comments on the proposal are welcome]]'''. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|renewal proposal]].

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?'''</div>

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what ''you'' think. The session is being '''[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113973 planned on Phabricator]''', the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/ login page]. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

A tag has been placed on [[:Shabdkosh]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
* It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information.
*It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.''), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Shabdkosh|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 04:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6 ==

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|left|70px]]
<div style="padding-left:80px; padding-top:20px;">
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • January 2016'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''What comes next'''</div>

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects ''harder''.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
* Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the [[User:Reports bot|Reports Bot]] reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
* One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
* Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|talk page]].

Until next time,

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''One database for Wikipedia requests'''</div>

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing '''Wikipedia Requests''', a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia'''</div>

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce '''[https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en Wikipedia Requests]''' is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]], [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]], or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]] (which I work on as part of my [[WP:NIOSH|NIOSH]] duties) and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists|WikiProject Women scientists]].

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the [https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en/add Add form] to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{tl|Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying <code>article=</code>, <code>category=</code>, or <code>wikiproject=</code>, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{tlx|Wikipedia Requests|2=category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Help us build our list!'''</div>

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project]] and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''An open database means new tools'''</div>

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]] generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: '''[https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en Citation Hunt]''', the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name <code>s52475__wpx_p</code>. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called <code>projectindex</code>. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''On the horizon'''</div>

* The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
* The [[meta:WikiCite 2016|WikiCite]] meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111066 requested by the Wikipedia Library] back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

Until next time,

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[:List of most viewed Indian music videos]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern:
<blockquote>Topic of debatable notability. Sourcing is only (and possibly only can be) to the videos themselves on YouTube, which is usually not a good idea.</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of most viewed Indian music videos|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.

== A question regarding sanskirt wikitionary definitions==

Why is Sanskrit wikitionary definitions so incomprehensive?

The page doesn't even show all the verb forms, let alone participals. The noun forms are alright but there are lots of pages that simply don't exist (marked in red) and have pages that go nowhere. Hell, some words arent even defined. For the Latin definitions on the other hand, a page exists for every single noun and verb form (which is a great convince for learners). What is the matter here, is there some technical difficulty with the dictionary sources or just lack of community involvement? <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:VultureV1|VultureV1]] ([[User talk:VultureV1#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/VultureV1|contribs]]) 09:58, 20 September 2017 (UTC)</small>

== Sind Province (1936-47) ==

Hi, i see you quickly reverted an edit that I made at [[Sind Province (1936-47)]], which was fine to do. I was myself just checking the edit and was figuring out that the links I put in were not correct, in fact needed to be changed, and was proceeding with that. You were right to indicate it was not correct, thanks. However, now I see that the whole new article is a duplicate of [[Sind Province (1936–55)]], an article which existed since 2002. So, the current article should be redirected, and any different new content should be merged. Do you want to do the redirecting and merging? To implement the redirect, you just erase the current content and replace it with <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Sind Province (1936–55)]]</nowiki>
cheers,

::I see you did the redirect, good. In the 1936-55 article, there is only one sentence in section [[Sind Province (1936-55)#1936–1947]], so it doesn't look like it needs to be split out. You could develop that section with whatever you were intending to put into a separate article. And eventually ask for support in splitting, if you still think that would be good, at its Talk page.
::By the way, i edited the 1936-55 article's mention of adjacent princely states and provinces. This included fixing wikilinks and also adding provinces that were not mentioned before. And I reorganized it to mention them in clockwise order. There are some simplifications, e.g. that [[West Punjab]] was a province during only 1947-1955, which I was mentioning in one version but took out. Sind was in fact bordered by West Punjabe, at least for some of the larger date range. I think it it is narrated accurately now but I'd be very happy if you would check and refine it if necessary. It's the section [[Sind Province (1936–55)#Location]].

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5 ==

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • October 2015'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''We did it!'''</div>

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis|Cannabis]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology|Evolutionary Biology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana|Ghana]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Hampshire|Hampshire]], and [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Health|Women's Health]]. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology|WikiProject Women in Technology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red|Women in Red]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]]. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|Pilots]] page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our [[:File:WikiProject X presentation - Wikimania 2015.pdf|slides]] are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Final|grant report]] filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The work continues!'''</div>

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. '''[[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|Comments on the proposal are welcome]]'''. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|renewal proposal]].

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?'''</div>

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what ''you'' think. The session is being '''[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113973 planned on Phabricator]''', the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/ login page]. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

A tag has been placed on [[:Shabdkosh]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
* It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information.
*It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.''), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Shabdkosh|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 04:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6 ==

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|left|70px]]
<div style="padding-left:80px; padding-top:20px;">
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • January 2016'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''What comes next'''</div>

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects ''harder''.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
* Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the [[User:Reports bot|Reports Bot]] reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
* One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
* Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|talk page]].

Until next time,

[[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 02:53, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • February 2016'''</div>

This month:
{{-}}
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''One database for Wikipedia requests'''</div>

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing '''Wikipedia Requests''', a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 8 ==

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|left|70px|link=Wikipedia:WikiProject X]]
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • March / April 2016'''</div>

This month:
{{-}}
<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia'''</div>

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce '''[https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en Wikipedia Requests]''' is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]], [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]], or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]] (which I work on as part of my [[WP:NIOSH|NIOSH]] duties) and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists|WikiProject Women scientists]].

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the [https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en/add Add form] to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{tl|Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying <code>article=</code>, <code>category=</code>, or <code>wikiproject=</code>, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{tlx|Wikipedia Requests|2=category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Help us build our list!'''</div>

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project]] and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''An open database means new tools'''</div>

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]] generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: '''[https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en Citation Hunt]''', the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name <code>s52475__wpx_p</code>. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called <code>projectindex</code>. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''On the horizon'''</div>

* The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
* The [[meta:WikiCite 2016|WikiCite]] meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111066 requested by the Wikipedia Library] back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

The article [[:List of most viewed Indian music videos]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern:
<blockquote>Topic of debatable notability. Sourcing is only (and possibly only can be) to the videos themselves on YouTube, which is usually not a good idea.</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of most viewed Indian music videos|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.

VultureV1: Apologies if this ends up in the wrong place, no idea what I'm doinf honestly

Why is Sanskrit wikitionary definitions so incomprehensive?

The page doesn't even show all the verb forms, let alone participals. The noun forms are alright but there are lots of pages that simply don't exist (marked in red) and have pages that go nowhere. Hell, some words arent even defined. For the Latin definitions on the other hand, a page exists for every single noun and verb form (which is a great convince for learners). What is the matter here, is there some technical difficulty with the dictionary sources or just lack of community involvement?

== Sind Province (1936-47) ==

Hi, i see you quickly reverted an edit that I made at [[Sind Province (1936-47)]], which was fine to do. I was myself just checking the edit and was figuring out that the links I put in were not correct, in fact needed to be changed, and was proceeding with that. You were right to indicate it was not correct, thanks. However, now I see that the whole new article is a duplicate of [[Sind Province (1936–55)]], an article which existed since 2002. So, the current article should be redirected, and any different new content should be merged. Do you want to do the redirecting and merging?

::I see you did the redirect, good. In the 1936-55 article, there is only one sentence in section [[Sind Province (1936-55)#1936–1947]], so it doesn't look like it needs to be split out. You could develop that section with whatever you were intending to put into a separate article. And eventually ask for support in splitting, if you still think that would be good, at its Talk page.
::By the way, i edited the 1936-55 article's mention of adjacent princely states and provinces. This included fixing wikilinks and also adding provinces that were not mentioned before. And I reorganized it to mention them in clockwise order. There are some simplifications, e.g. that [[West Punjab]] was a province during only 1947-1955, which I was mentioning in one version but took out. Sind was in fact bordered by West Punjabe, at least for some of the larger date range. I think it it is narrated accurately now but I'd be very happy if you would check and refine it if necessary. It's the section [[Sind Province (1936–55)#Location]].

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5 ==

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|left|70px]]
<div style="padding-left:80px; padding-top:20px;">
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • October 2015'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''We did it!'''</div>

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis|Cannabis]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology|Evolutionary Biology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Ghana|Ghana]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Hampshire|Hampshire]], and [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's Health|Women's Health]]. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology|WikiProject Women in Technology]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Red|Women in Red]], [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]]. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Pilots|Pilots]] page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our [[:File:WikiProject X presentation - Wikimania 2015.pdf|slides]] are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Final|grant report]] filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''The work continues!'''</div>

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. '''[[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|Comments on the proposal are welcome]]'''. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the [[m:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X/Renewal|renewal proposal]].

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?'''</div>

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what ''you'' think. The session is being '''[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113973 planned on Phabricator]''', the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/auth/start/ login page]. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

A tag has been placed on [[:Shabdkosh]], requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
* It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information.
*It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, ''etc.''), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Shabdkosh|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. — <tt>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></tt> \\ 04:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

== WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6 ==

[[File:WikiProject X icon.svg|left|70px]]
<div style="padding-left:80px; padding-top:20px;">
<div style="font-size:1.2em; letter-spacing:1px;">'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter|Newsletter]] • January 2016'''</div>

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''What comes next'''</div>

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects ''harder''.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
* Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the [[User:Reports bot|Reports Bot]] reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
* One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
* Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject X|talk page]].

Until next time,

[[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 02:53, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''One database for Wikipedia requests'''</div>

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing '''Wikipedia Requests''', a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

This month:

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia'''</div>

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce '''[https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en Wikipedia Requests]''' is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]], [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]], or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health|WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health]] (which I work on as part of my [[WP:NIOSH|NIOSH]] duties) and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women scientists|WikiProject Women scientists]].

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the [https://wpx.wmflabs.org/requests/en/add Add form] to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{tl|Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying <code>article=</code>, <code>category=</code>, or <code>wikiproject=</code>, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{tlx|Wikipedia Requests|2=category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''Help us build our list!'''</div>

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project]] and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''An open database means new tools'''</div>

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that [[User:Reports bot|Reports bot]] generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: '''[https://tools.wmflabs.org/citationhunt/en Citation Hunt]''', the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name <code>s52475__wpx_p</code>. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called <code>projectindex</code>. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

<div style="font-size:1.1em;">'''On the horizon'''</div>

* The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
* The [[meta:WikiCite 2016|WikiCite]] meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111066 requested by the Wikipedia Library] back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:List of most viewed Indian music videos]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[:List of most viewed Indian music videos]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern:
<blockquote>Topic of debatable notability. Sourcing is only (and possibly only can be) to the videos themselves on YouTube, which is usually not a good idea.</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of most viewed Indian music videos|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.
