Hi, I perform non-admin closures at AfD and RMs regularly. I just wanted to know if there is any way or any tool to track my non-admin closures. Thanks in advance. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 03:26, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Krishna, and thanks for helping out at AfD. While your closures have been good, I noticed that a lot of them were closed a tad bit prematurely. AfDs are generally allowed to run through a 7-day course unless the result is very obvious. I see that you've been closing discussions a few hours before they hit the 7-day mark. Even though the outcome may seem unanimous, it's a good idea to allow an AfD to stay open for the entire 7-day period. Say for example, you close an AfD at 03:12 (UTC) which is actually scheduled to end at 18:45 (UTC) on the same day, you're closing the discussion 15 hours earlier. That 15 hour period (just an example, and might not need that long) might allow someone to voice a new opinion and might stir the discussion in a different direction, at AfDs that are not (close to) a snowball case. Even I have made early closures but only when a different outcome seemed very unlikely. Nothing wrong with your closures in general but I'd suggest waiting a little longer, unless it's a slam dunk. Closing discussions a few hours late won't hurt anybody. I appreciate your work and you've improved a lot. Keep up the good work. Thanks.CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 10:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest?

Hello, KCVelaga. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Param Vir Chakra at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! – Corinne (talk) 00:24, 20 November 2017 (UTC) |
Hello, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga – I have completed the copy-edit you requested. I found it to be fairly well written – no major problems. There is one sentence I'd like to ask you about, and I'll put that here. I left a few "clarification needed" tags with hidden notes to editors that you can see in Edit Mode. When you have cleared up the issue, you can remove both the tag and the note. Let me know if you have any further questions about those or if I can help with wording a sentence.
In the third paragraph in the Param Vir Chakra#History section, we read the following sentence:
The problem with this sentence is that you have not yet mentioned Lt. Gen. Surinder Nath Sharma, so readers unfamiliar with Indian history will be puzzled not only by the name itself but also by the reason he is mentioned at all. Is it really important to mention his name here? Wouldn't it be enough to say that the PVC was awarded to the son-in-law of the designer of the medal ("awarded to her son-in-law")? If readers want to know more about the recipient of the award, Major Somnath Sharma, couldn't they read about him elsewhere? If you really feel it is important to mention Lt. Gen. Surinder Nath Sharma, I recommend briefly saying who he was.
Best regards, – Corinne (talk) 00:33, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Shaitan Singh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mortar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

On 14 February 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gurbachan Singh Salaria, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Captain G. S. Salaria is the only United Nations peacekeeper to have been awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest wartime military decoration? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gurbachan Singh Salaria. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Gurbachan Singh Salaria), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Hi. I was reading this article and noticed 2 grammatical errors in the first 3 sentences of the lead. As I do some work with the Military History Project I had a look at how they had graded it. They had assessed it as not meeting the B class criteria for grammar. On a quick skim it still doesn't. I also notice that you are nominating it for Good Article status; an article of this status certainly should be GA. But I suspect that you will struggle until the grammar issue is resolved. Can I suggest that you pass it to the experts?
Post a request for a copy edit with the Guild of Copy Editors. As you can see, many editors do this prior to submitting their articles for GA, A class or FA status. They would be happy to review the grammar and several other potential issues.
I hope that this helps. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:02, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

On 20 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Shaitan Singh, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a badly wounded Major Shaitan Singh (statue pictured), who was later awarded the Param Vir Chakra, ordered his soldiers to leave him behind rather than face enemy fire evacuating him? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shaitan Singh. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Shaitan Singh), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

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 from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program 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.
Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST). Useful links are as follows:

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
