Where do active discussions on sa wiki take place? --117.207.87.50 १५:०६, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

विकिपीडिया:विचारमण्डपम्. Rao7 •^Talk १५:०९, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Though you may have to personally ask some users to comment by leaving a note on their talk pages. Not many follow RecentChanges or the विचारमण्डपम् religiously. Rao7 •^Talk १५:१०, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I have done it! I have politely asked some users. Actually I have a noble cause and I believe I must become admin... I'm specially good in computers so I can help in IT field and I'm learning Samskrit religiously.

And thanks for help! --हर्षवर्धनः (Leodescal) १५:२८, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Glad to hear that :) . Happy editing! Rao7 •^Talk १५:३२, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

My adminship review

Review my adminship request at- http://sa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%A1%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AF%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B8%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AD%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B7%E0%A4%A3%E0%A4%AE%E0%A5%8D:%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%A7%E0%A4%95#Me_for_Admin.21.21 --हर्षवर्धनः (Leodescal) ०८:१८, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Unless users comment on it, I am helpless and I cannot act on it. Request users politely to comment on your request, but not in a way asking them to support you. You should also read the page विकिपीडिया:प्रबंधक and understand it well. Rao7 •^Talk ०८:२३, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

It says- A request for adminship will be closed and reviewed by a bureaucrat after 7 days from the date of request. This may be extended by a bureaucrat wishing to invite further discussion

So... I want to ask if there isn't any discussion due to 'No Objection' or 'Not sure', then can't an admin or a Bureaucrat take independent action? --हर्षवर्धनः (Leodescal) ०८:४५, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

No, it would be highly improper for me to take a unilateral decision without waiting for the approval of the community. It'll take 7 days, provided there are enough people commenting. You may ask users to comment by placing a gentle note on their talk pages. That seems the best option. Rao7 •^Talk ०८:४८, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

What are minimum condition acc. to which you can say somebody is supported by the community for admin position?

Generally a high support ratio of 4:0 or 6:1 is considered, though someone with higher support ratio may well be declined, or someone with lower ratio may be approved. Decisions are not made just by the number of support !votes, but by the meaningfulness of the request, as well as the comments given by the community. Rao7 •^Talk ०९:१०, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Hemeant had enough support and his Sanskrit was also excellent so why he wasn't made admin? --हर्षवर्धनः (Leodescal) ०८:५२, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I have stated my reasons in my closing notes. Rao7 •^Talk ०९:१०, २४ अष्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

User name

In wikisource I cannot login through the changed user name 'Shubha'. Will you please check it ? शुभा (चर्चा) ०९:३२, ८ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I suggest one thing: Login to sa.wikipedia first, and then go to sa.wikisource without logging off. Tell me if it works. Rao7 •^Talk ०९:४०, ८ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

No, it won't work either in source/dictionary/commons. Not even in other language wikipedia. शुभा (चर्चा) १०:०८, ८ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I'll ask around, and will let you know. Are you able to log in from old username in all those places? Rao7 •^Talk १३:०४, ८ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I am able to log in from old username in all the places. शुभा (चर्चा) ०६:१९, १० अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Try clicking this, and following any instructions there. Let me know if it works. Rao7 •^Talk १८:२४, ८ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

It wont work. It says there is no user name like this. शुभा (चर्चा) ०६:१९, १० अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Okay, the thing is that you have to request renaming in all the other wikis too. I'll try getting it done on sa.wikisource for you, as well as any other wikis you want. Rao7 •^Talk ११:११, १० अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Sorry for jumping in, but i think Shubha you can first make a new account with the same username on sa Wikisource, and then go to Special:Merge, and this will solve the problem. :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^{Talk Email} १७:१२, १० अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Hello Shubha. If you want your local account to be expanded to other WMF wikis (an account is automatically created when visiting the wiki), you need to have a global account. For that, you should visit the special page Special:MergeAccount and it should work. I can also move your contributions on wikis without bureaucrats if you want to, such as sawikisource. But you should use one unique username, as contributions can't be merged from two accounts with a different name on a same wiki.

I hope I helped you. If you need my help (for example to rename you), feel free to ask me on my meta user talk page. Best regards, -- Quentinv57 (चर्चा) १७:२१, १० अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

That was Quentinv57. Shubha, I guess you can contact Quentinv57 for these changes, as all other wikis other than sawikipedia are out of my "jurisdiction". If you'd prefer to have me as a point of reference, I'd be fine with that too. Rao7 •^Talk १७:३९, १० अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I have requested Quentinv57 to do the necessary changes. Thank you. शुभा (चर्चा) ०५:३३, ११ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

मुख्यपृष्ठम्

In the main page, under Subhashitam there is one line - एतद सुभाषितम्स्य प्रभव ऋग्वेद अस्ति। I find no meaning in this. Will you please delete this ?शुभा (चर्चा) ०५:४१, ११ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

I will explain. We want to indicate that the Subhashita is from the Rigveda, in order to avoid copyright issues. But having a good look at it now, I feel that it botches up the main page. I will remove it. Thanks, Rao7 •^Talk ०६:०३, ११ अक्टोबर् २०११ (UTC)

Actually, I'm waiting for an editor to come up with an updated logo. I am terrible at image editing, and the absence of windows in my life worsens it. I think Mayur may be able to help. Once we get an updated logo, then we should file a bug in bugzilla; they'll do the job. Rao7 •^Talk १३:३५, ७ नवम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

विकिपीडिया विचारमण्डपम्

Thanks for your comments. Even though I recreated the विचारमण्डपम् page, I have classified almost all the talk existed earlier in that page to various subtopics. Even if I haven't done such a reconstruction now, at a particular stage, we would have to do the same. As early we do it, it will be better. At least now onward, the history of all pages can be tracked. Otherwise it would have been a complete mess. I hope, Sri. Hemant will help to translate the विचारमण्डपम् page. In the similar way, we have to develop the Community Portal (now its name in Sanskrit wikipedia is समुदायप्रवेशद्वारम्) also.--Naveen Sankar (चर्चा) १७:१७, ८ नवम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

General Categorization Standards

Dear Sir, Although I had been long wishing to get involved in Sa.wikipedia.org (and other siblings), it is only now I was able to spare some dedicated time. As I went through the portal, I find there is an urgent need to regularize and refine categorizations.

As a person familiar with this task (in other language wiki portals), I feel that I could be of much help if I get involved in this job.

I am not aware if there has been some serious discussions at the sa.wiki in this regard. If so, please take me to the corresponding link.

In the meanwhile, I would like to suggest that the following points be noted while categorizing.

1. Ideally, every page in a wikipedia should belong to at least one category.
2. Every category should be within a tree structure that ultimately stems into one single top level.
3. Category names should be in general, plurals. (eg: vEdaH v/s vEdaaH or adhyaayaH v/s adhyaayaaH )
4. When numbered titles appear a leading zero to single digit numbers would help in showing up the entire list in good order, automatically sorted in tact.)
5. Every page should have only the necessary but sufficient types of categories. (eg: a sloka in karmayOga may belong to category: Karmayoga. Since Karmayoga already belongs to Category: Bhagavad Gita, the sloka need not be added to Category:Bhagavad Gita (or its higher level categories again.)
6. In general, if there are more than 30 or 40 items in a category, there is something odd about it. There is scope for further categorization in such cases. (Except in certain cases (eg. last chapter of Gita with 78 slokas.)

This and other related points may be communicated to other sa.wiki contributors as well. Thank you.

Viswaprabha (चर्चा) ११:१५, ३० नवम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Hi Viswa, its an issue that is being worked on by Shiju and people from Samskrit Bharati. It is definitely a big concern. ml wikipedia could be used as a model for this I suppose. Rao7 •^Talk ११:२१, ३० नवम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

धन्यवादः। Also, I forgot to mention; use the character ए instead of ऎ for the "E" sound. You can get it by typing the capital E. Also, make sure to modify your signature, so that it has a link to your userspace. You can do that by unchecking the box "Use as Wiki markup" in Special:Preferences. Thanks, Rao7 •^Talk ०८:०८, ९ दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

confusion

though i searched a lot in special preferances i cannot see wike markup. please give me more details.. then it is true that there is no hraswa e in sanskrit. then why one letter given. it makes confusion.--दिनॆश: वॆल्लक्काट्ट् १३:४१, १० दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

I apologize. Its given as "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)". Uncheck that. About the hraswa "E", I agree. It is adding some unnecessary confusion. I am working on it, and will get it corrected. Thanks, Rao7 •^Talk १३:५४, १० दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Copyright Info

First of all, I'm very sorry to give you a late reply.

I have written the copyright information. The Kargil Image is released under creative commons by me. And that Azad Hind Fauj rally's copyright is expired. As It was taken in 1940's.

Hope it helped. --हर्षवर्धनः (Leodescal)

I'm sorry Harshavardhan, the Kargil image is clearly copyrighted. I will be deleting the image. I guess you are right about the other image, I'll look into it. From now onwards, please do all free image uploads to Wikimedia Commons only. Rao7 •^Talk १०:५५, १० दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

The second image is in the Indian public domain as noted here. Please note that just specifying the license is not enough. You must provide a source for it. Lets avoid all confusion and upload free files to Commons only. Thanks, Rao7 •^Talk ११:०८, १० दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

I thought we we considerably edit the image then a new copyright is issued... But now I'll check the laws again... kk. I'll upload at commons. --हर्षवर्धनः (Leodescal)

Nope, derivative works usually do not come under any new copyright; even the comparatively lax CC-BY-SA 3.0 specifies Share Alike conditions for derivative works; it is usually more stringent for copyrighted works. Rao7 •^Talk १२:५३, १२ दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Messages regressed

I have noticed that some previously corrected interface msgs have again changed to older versions e.g. - प्राग्दृश्यं दर्श्यताम् (show preview) again to प्राग्दृश्यं दर्शयतु। Moreover there is no clue of older version in interface msgs list either (caution:link is a big page). I think this has happened after enabling of webfonts (so that some refreshing of msgs has taken place). What could be the reason according to you? Should we report this on Bugzilla, or this is a local issue? This is important because many messages have changed to erroneous versions again. -Hemant wikikosh (चर्चा) १४:३१, १५ दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Oh, if this has happened in a large scale, then it could possibly be a problem. The last time I heard, some users were translating at translatewiki.net . Is it possible that some kind of conflict has taken place between that (translatewiki.net) version and the locally translated version? Is it possible? I wonder.

I don't think this is due to the font changes, though I could be wrong; I'm not really the best at computer technicalities. Rao7 •^Talk १४:४४, १५ दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Don't worry, i only asked for ur view, not technical details :). Thanks for reply. Actually I also don't know how exactly did this happen; translatewiki could be the reason. I'll try to get it corrected. -Hemant wikikosh (चर्चा) १६:३०, १५ दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Thanks :) Let me know how it goes; if a solution is not at sight, then I'll try and contact people very immersed in Localization (I don't know them very well though). Rao7 •^Talk १७:११, १५ दशम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

BG - Pages for deletion

Hi Rao, Thanks for the good words. :)

Yes, I, (with the main help of User:Shubha, she has been labouriously carrying out most of the 'boring' and repetitive part of the job which still takes someone with good Sanskrit-conciousness) have been consolidating the whole collection of BG pages (despite the fact that, as of now, it has a semi-wikisource semi-wikipedia nature: This could be justified as the BG is special in terms of context and its numerous interpretations by many scholars, the whole of such and discussions thereof could form lumps of matter into each sloka pages.).

As a scheme to accomplish this, we first decided to rename all the numbered titles. The titles should be rather starting with actual words. Further, each title should be precisely and exactly long enough (at least phonetically) to contain just the first line of a sloka ( the first vishamapAdaH). While doing this, some of the slokas were found to have duplicate pages, almost with same content.

It is those (extra) pages that I have recommended to delete. Since I can't do them with my current previleges.

With BG, we have still not finished all the work. The Categorization is completely reorganized now. They are also connected to the top level (वर्गःविषयसर्वस्वम्) through proper pathway. What remains is preparation of some appealing and conveniently navigable templates as well as the articles page for each chapter faces. We also need to remove the redirection pages (old titles with embedded redirections). But this we have to do only finally as they may have many backlinks which need to be relinked first.

Once this model is completed, we can keep this as a base frame-work for all similar documents within wikipedia and wikisource. That's the final goal. :-) Viswaprabha (चर्चा) ००:१६, १६ डिसेम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Hi Viswa, that's great to hear :) Appreciate your efforts in this; if you are considering asking for deletion of any page, do consider if a redirect would be more appropriate, though in the case of BG, it wouldn't matter much anyway I guess. Thanks, Rao7 •^Talk ०७:१७, १६ डिसेम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Redirect is good when there is no content at destination and when there is a high probability that reader users will search for an article with the source title. In the above, case, there is already a destination title with content that is either not required or reduntant. Thanks Viswaprabha (चर्चा) ०८:२८, १६ डिसेम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

Well, I kinda agree; must make sure there are no backlinks though. Rao7 •^Talk १२:४६, १६ डिसेम्बर् २०११ (UTC)

I am seeing that some of the templates using Navbox are looking defaced (e.g. - फलकम्:भारतस्य स्वातन्त्र्यसङ्ग्रामः, perhaps due to wrong specifications within. I wonder if you can figure out what has gone wrong in Navox (or elsewhere). -Hemant wikikosh (चर्चा) १६:११, १४ फ़ेब्रुवरि २०१२ (UTC)

Its looking fine for me; nothing seriously wrong. Perhaps there's a problem with your system or something? Let me know. In the collapsed state, the box is looking small; Ideally, should it be wider? Rao7 •^Talk १६:१९, १४ फ़ेब्रुवरि २०१२ (UTC)

Exactly. And so it is looking awkward, as it shrinks to less than half its width on collapsing. A normal wikikpedia template, on collapse, only changes in height, not width. -Hemant wikikosh (चर्चा) १०:१९, १५ फ़ेब्रुवरि २०१२ (UTC)

Open access images

I saw your Wikimania submission and would like to bring this blog post to your attention. I have basically no knowledge of Sanskrit but I do have an interest in putting materials from Open Access sources to new uses. Would you be interested in tackling the illustration of articles on scientific topics more systematically? -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) ०२:०५, १७ फ़ेब्रुवरि २०१२ (UTC)

Ah, Indeed I would. That's a great project you are working on! Rao7 •^Talk ०४:२०, २० फ़ेब्रुवरि २०१२ (UTC)

Your temporary access is going to expire soon on sa.wiktionary

Hello, you were granted temporary adminship in this wiki which is going to expire in a few days. Just to let you know that if you want to continue as an administrator here, you need to request an extension on stewards' permission request page on Meta-Wiki. Usually you only have to make a local announcement on your local village pump or request for adminship page, and if there are no objections after no less than three days, your request will be fulfilled. Additionally, if you think the community is big enough to elect a permanent administrator, you can place a local request here for a permanent adminship, so stewards can grant you the permanent access. Please ask me or any other steward if you have any questions. Thank you! Trijnstel (चर्चा) १०:०९, २८ फ़ेब्रुवरि २०१२ (UTC)

Suppport for sa-wt admin extension

Was busy with wp & ws these days and wasnt able to look into wt, However supported for ur extension. But I think its too late now for the extension. अभिरामः १२:४७, १९ मार्च् २०१२ (UTC)

Nah, the extension is no big deal; there's no rule that one should reapply within the expiry of the previous one or anything of that sort. Even I'd forgotten about it actually, but I requested and got it a few days ago . Rao7 •^Talk १८:००, १९ मार्च् २०१२ (UTC)

Berlin hackathon invitation

I'm sorry -- I only speak English.

I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June in Berlin, Germany. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the upcoming launch of Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page at mediawiki.org. Sumanah (चर्चा) ०१:१६, २० एप्रिल् २०१२ (UTC)

Forced user renames coming soon for SUL

Hi, sorry for writing in English. I'm writing to ask you, as a bureaucrat of this wiki, to translate and review the notification that will be sent to all users, also on this wiki, who will be forced to change their user name on May 27 and will probably need your help with renames. You may also want to help with the pages m:Rename practices and m:Global rename policy. Thank you, Nemo १७:०७, ३ मेय् २०१३ (UTC)

An important message about renaming users

Dear MikeLynch, My aplogies for writing in English. Please translate or have this translated for you if it will help. I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat.

As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide single-user login finalisation (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully.

Why is this happening? As currently stated at the global rename policy, a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects.

The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed.

Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called Global renamers. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the requests for global permissions page on 1 September, a week from now.

In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to the request page for a global rename.

Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the Help:Unified login page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for global renamers. You can also contact me on my talk page on meta if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) talk १८:२४, २५ अगस्त २०१४ (UTC)

देवनागरी लिपी प्रयोग करने वाले सदस्य नामो के प्रती साझा निती

नमस्ते,

अबतक user names खाता प्रयोक्ता नाम हर विकिप्रकल्प मे अलग अलग हो सकते थे एक ही नामका प्रयोक्ता/सदस्य खाता हिंदी और मराठी विकिपीडीयापर अलग अलग व्यक्ती प्रयोग मे रख सकते थे। इस १५ सितंबर २०१४ से user names के लिए मेटापरसे एकीकृत प्रणाली का उपयोग किया जा रहा है।

देवनागरी लिपी प्रयोग करते हुए सदस्यनामो का निर्माण अबतक तो बहोत अधीक नही है । फिरभी भविषय मे देवनागरी लिपी प्रयोग करने वाले विकिप्रकल्पो के सदस्य गण के सामने आनेवाली समस्याओंको समझने और सुलझाने मे सहायता हो इसलिए एक अनौपचारीक वार्ता अस्थायी रुप से मेटा स्थीत मेरे meta:User talk:Mahitgar पन्ने पर शुरु की है। देवनागरी लिपी प्रयोग करने वाले विकिप्रकल्पो प्रतिनिधीओ कि प्राथमीक सहमती से हमे साझा दिर्घकालीक नितिपर विचार विमर्श करना संभव हो सकेगा इस वार्ता हेतू आपके सुझाव प्राप्त करना चाहता हुं ।

Adminship in sa.wikipedia

Namste ! I have posted a request for Admin right here. I know you had wrote that you are not active now in sa.wikipedia. But it is process that after local bureaucrats I can go to Meta:SRP. So Please consider my request. Thank you. ॐNehalDaveND•✉•✎ १५:४४, १९ दिसम्बर २०१५ (UTC)

Approval for RamBot

Namaste MikeLynch! I hope you are doing well. This event had been attended and many things had learnt by me. There I had learnt Bot also. After that I also took some guidance from Bot user wikipedians offline. As you know in this wiki project not a proper bot work is taken a place. More than a month ago I had put here request to know community views. But we couldn't get any response. So I request you that, please allow me to use bot by this account. Thank you. :) ॐNehalDaveND•✉•✎ ०९:०३, २४ अगस्त २०१७ (UTC)

New support group for all ancient language communities

Hi Mike, some of us are trying to set up a Wikimedia User Group to promote the use of Ancient Languages on Wikimedia.
