Thanks

Dear Rama, thanks for pointing out the mistake on Mahavira. I have corrected it.--Anish (talk) 04:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Limba Ram

I don't understand why you have tagged the article on Limba Ram with {{wikify}}. The article is properly formatted according to the manual of style with appropriate links to other Wikipedia articles. Can you please explain what you think needs to be fixed? Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 17:51, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The article still need much improvement. I thought {{wikify}} is better tag to request other users to improve it. Now I have replaced 'wikify' tag with {{Expand}} tag. Thanks for pointing out mistake. Rāmā (talk) 18:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, and also thanks for your work on the article. Articles on Wikipedia are pretty much always in a state of development. The article is marked as a stub so the {{expand}} tag isn't really necessary as stub implies expansion is needed. Because articles are in a constant state of improvement so to speak, it's only necessary to tag an article when it has specific issues, and its best to tag it with an appropriate template so that other editors know what specific improvements are being identified as needed. There is in fact a dizzying array of templates. A list of many of them can be found at WP:TEMPLATE. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a message. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 19:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Exploding light bulb

The article Exploding light bulb has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a non-encyclopedic subject that does not belong in Wikipedia, per WP:NOT. While the subject of this article refers to a genuine set of phenomena, there are many types of light bulb which explode for many reasons. As such this article is a repository of loosely associated topics or a cross-categorization of light bulb with explosion. The citations are simply a collection of different newsworthy incidents involving the explosion of light bulbs, or confirming technical details. No evidence for a significant cultural phenomenon is demonstrated. The article fails WP:NOTDIR and should be removed. As several articles describe particular modes of explosion for particular types of light bulb (noted in the "See also" section), the article title is not useful as a redirect. It should be deleted.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
