Hello NAHID:

A user had marked an article that I have made extensive edits to for deletion, but I can't figure out how to use wikipedia to provide feedback with a *Keep indication, plus my comments. I've seen other users do this with other articles marked for deletion. If you could let me know the proper means to correctly add my feedback to this proposal, I'd appreciate it. I haven't been able to figure it out yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sliv812 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 29 November 2010 (UTC)※

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Thanks for uploading File:Metropolitan University, Sylhet logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on XIV under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on XIV. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on XIV (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any XIV page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Somehow National symbols of Bangladesh are deleted, including the national emblem etc. see: https://commons.wikimedia.org/File:National_emblem_of_Bangladesh.svg I think these files need to be restored. As far as I remember, these SVG files were user contributed, not scrapped from government resources. Also, if I remember, copyvio is exempted in such cases » nafSadh did say 02:00, 29 November 2013 (UTC)※

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 XIV 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.

Hi. The XIV:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland XIV:The 10,000 Challenge and XIV:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like XIV:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current XIV:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 11:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)※
