Hello

Hello Dwaipayan. I am sure that you are doing fine. Please be around a little as perhaps we require encyclopedic entries about India (in Wikipedia), as also a little other things here in India Wikia. --Bhadani 13:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Saying hello. --Bhadani 13:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
reply. Thank you. --Bhadani 13:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments please

I request you to give your comments and suggestions as regards the following two proposed templates

I propose to use these templates to create outline pages about the states of India, and cultures of the states of India. I shall be using the same to create such outline pages. Please feel free to change the same in any other way as may be required. Thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I have drawn inspiration from similar template/s used in World Wikia like this one. --Bhadani (talk) 03:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

This is for my reference - messages on talk pages of seven users. --Bhadani (talk) 03:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Copying from Starter Wikia

(Hello again - you talked me into visiting, and when I read your recent bit on Central Wikia I had no further excuses!)


Seems to be plenty of scope for some basic pages from http://starter.wikia.com. If I ever seem to have stopped, you will know where to get more.

May I know about Wikia

Hi sir, this Sushant gupta, hope so haven't forgotten me. For reference take a quick look at the link- [http:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sushant_gupta Indian Wikipedian]. May I know all the rules and regulations of wikia. Is wikia an advertising source. Also tell about the copyright terms and conditions. Thanks Sushant gupta 12:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

answer. --Bhadani (talk) 16:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Can we simply take content from other websites or from other associated Wikimedia and simply paste it here? I am not much awared about it. Like there on Wikipedia copyrighted content is not acceptable. Sushant gupta 09:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
We can not copy from the books and websites unless the materials are free from copyright. Thus, copyrighted text materials or pictures should not be added here. In case, you want, you may re-write the copyrighted texts in your words. Quoting few sentences mentioning the original author or source is generally fine. In most of the website and books you will find a notice about the copyright. However, there are certain free contents available at Wikipedia and many other places under GFDL] and similar licenses which may be reproduced in Wikia. However, there is an interesting point: if you read something, and write the same in your own words or write something brand new, say about your impressions of [w:c:world:Shimla|Shimla], it will really look great and will be an expression of your creativity. --Bhadani (talk) 18:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thankyou for your polite welcome. I plan on laying the foundations for Wikindia. Much work is to be done. Darrowen 01:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

India Wikians start talking! --Bhadani (talk) 02:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I guess an objective should be to provide complete information of EVERYTHING to do with India. I like your ideas of User reviews for places. I also thinking of considering listing of entrance fees or prices, so that anyone looking to find out can just go to india.wikia.com and they find out. For people, biographies are necessary but I don't think user reviews are a good idea (for obvious reasons), all people should have information on how they affected modern India, perhaps a bit of subjective information about their popularity or infamy amongst different groups in India...On a separate note, I am meeting many different problems in Template creation including an inability to right align any templates. I think some of the wikimarkup used on wikipedia does not work here. One of the first steps, is that I have to go the pages I have created and un wikilink everything, then wikilink only India related stuff.Darrowen 22:37, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. You are right. In fact, I had drawn the idea of user reviews from several pages of the World Wikia - say, pages like India or Varanasi. All these pages were created using a template "place", and similarly I have created many outline pages using different templates. We can always modify the templates, at least now when the contents are yet to be added to the outline pages. Yes, I also found that some of the templates used in Wikipedia does not work here; perhaps, we will have to develop them afresh or complete the missing links. We may take the help of the Community Team. I have been trying to contact many persons to do a little contributions as volunteers (like you and me) and many are responding. I am awaiting their active participation. I also request you to please contact your friends to come and to help us. Regards. --Bhadani (talk) 03:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I like your concept. The template problem will hopefully be solved soon. Regards. Darrowen 03:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know man

I like to see the Wikias as places to put info that won't fit anywhere else--Wikipedia, World Wiki, Travel Wiki, etc. More detailed and more down-to-earth. IFaqeer 23:56, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Faqueer. I was missing you and feeling alone. Where are you? Please be around to give some guidance as to style of contents, etc. I fully agree with you. I just created many pages, and I think that somehow we all should try to give the contents as desired by you to Wikias including India Wikia. --Bhadani (talk) 01:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Please also suggest a Logo for India Wikia. --Bhadani (talk) 01:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikindia

Wikindia logo

Hi, Bhandiani, I came up with a temporary logo for Wikindia until you can find a more permanent solution. If you like it, please feel free to use it. The best place to contact me is on my Wikipedia talk page. Thanks! Curran (WikipediaWP TalkWI Talk) 14:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC) By the way, If you decide that you want to make some changes, I have the original GIMP file that I can make any requested additions/changes.

Thank you! --Bhadani (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
a suggestion] --Bhadani (talk) 16:12, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Here's an updated version per your suggestions. Hope you like it! BTW, if there's any slogan, etc. that you would like added, please let me know. Thanks, Curran (WikipediaWP TalkWikia Talk) 16:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Wikindia logo

Updated!!!!!

This is almost ok. However, , the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal are also part of India and should be shown. Sorry to bother you again and again. I am also thinking of a "slogan" but the one you had put in the earlier one is also suitable. Thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 16:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikindia logo with islands
I updated it with the islands-- as for the Bay of Bengal, I don't understand what you mean. Regarding the slogan, I would not recommend having one because of the size of the logo. When it's scaled to the size it needs to be to fit, the slogan will be unreadable. I would recommend just leaving it. As for any annoyance or trouble that you believe that you may be causing me-- there is none. :-) I am doing this voluntarily, and don't mind at all. Check out the latest proof above. Curran (WikipediaWP TalkWikia Talk) 18:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

More thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 22:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Taj image-wonders of the world

If I remember correct, Taj has been declared as one of the wonders of the world. If I am right then should it not be mentioned with the Taj image in india wikia? I have seen your discussion page and thanks for your efforts on this wikia. We are probably to spend another 6 to 8 months in NZ/Auckland.

--Dore chakravarty 00:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes Sir. It is a pleasant surprise to find you here! Great! You are right. I will surely update the apge. You are most welcome to contribute. Since November, 2007, I am in Pondicherry. Best regards. --Bhadani (talk) 12:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Forums now work on this wiki

See Forum:Index, then please consider using separate forums for separate subjects (so that they can be easily referenced, listed, and categorised). Maybe even copy some of the good discussions on this page to new forum pages, for the same reason. We did this on Genealogy: and are all pleased at how much better it is than the old jumble of discussions on user talk pages or a single project:Watercooler.

India-very important

Tried to include image of India to show the states etc. Now I find that the other original contents of the article have vanished. To get them back, I tried but failed. Can you help on this to bring back and also educate me on this as I have to do many edits like this.

--Dore chakravarty 23:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

India-very important

{place| India},If I use this with 2 flower brackets, in sand box, I could see the original article back. How to revert my edit back or put the map back is the question.. Probably Administrators can do it.

deletion

I have changed the image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Map_GujDist_All.png ) of Gujarat Map by only adding places, Sikka, Veraval and Dwarka, and changed its name to ( http://india.wikia.com/wiki/Image:800px-Map_Gujarat_state_and_districts-SIKKA.JPG )thinking that this is not a serious change as per the original license. If this is not correct you can delete the one made by me. This will also remove the images from the articles of places which I have done. No harm.

The original image is made in 2005 by somebody else. The details of the original images are as under;
