Hello. You recently added a lot of material to the above disambiguation page. A disambiguation page is however NOT an article, meaning that the content should be very limited, to just enough to allow a person to select the correct article to click on. It does not have prose text or references either. Therefore, I reverted your additions. You are very welcome to look at the (likely already existing) articles (for example at Romani people) and add any information you feel is missing. If you need any help, with this or something else, feel free to contact me here. Happy editing, MadMaxDog 08:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Try DYK

edit

I believe that you are somewhat new to Wikipedia. You may not have noticed that there is a section "Did you know" on the Main Page of Wikipedia. You get a link to the Main Page on the left hand side of your page. Click that and get to the Main Page of Wikipedia. You can certainly locate the "Did you know" column. Your articles are somewhat unique and deserve to be highlighted in the DYK column. It will focus attention of many readers on your articles. For more details see Wikipedia:Did you know. One of your articles is already highlighted as a good article in Template talk:Did you know. Go to the bottom and locate your article. Please go through all the details and if you so so feel, enter your article for DYK. If you have any questions please ask me on my talk page. Regards - P.K.Niyogi 17:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Go to Template talk:Did you know, then go to date Articles created on 24th May. Open the edit on the right hand side. Place the hook at the top of the list,sign with four tiles (~) and save. You have to do it today itself, as time is running out. If you are on line do it itself. - P.K.Niyogi 13:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, the above is for Vagish Shastri. For Kshetresa Chandra Chattopadhyaya you enter under articles created on 27th May. - P.K.Niyogi 13:29, 28 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Here is a hook for the above - that Kshetresa Chandra Chattopadhyaya, a scholar of Sanskrit, Veda, Pali, Prakrit and Philology, conducted a comparative study of Veda and Avesta? Self nom - . You don't have to mention me. You can change it also, make it shorter, if possible. Long hooks are rejected. P.K.Niyogi 01:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Upload file

edit

I was away for a few days and so could not reply to your query. For uploading pictures please see Upload file at the left hand side of the page. Please read what is there. As regards copyrights study the details with the pictures already there. Ideally, the picture should be taken by you. In most cases, you cannot copy pictures from books with copyright. However, very old pictures (100 years or so) have copyright expired status. Regards - P.K.Niyogi 03:38, 12 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bina–Katni rail route, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Single track (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
