== Invite for discussion on Sector 13, Chandigarh ==

Hello friend, in the month of September 2005, your vote had made me an administrator. we all know that the life here is exciting and full of challenges. I would request you to please spare fem moments for me, and favor me with your comments and suggestions ([[User talk:Bhadani|here please]]) on my performance as a wikipedian. Let us continue to build the [[Wikipedia:Better than the Best|Better than the Best]] global encyclopedia. Thank you and regards. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 10:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

:Thank for your response Sundar. I also thank you for your message wishing my welfare. I shall surely take care, In the meanwhile, I wish to inform you that I have added to images to [[Bank of India]] – one of the building where its main branch is housed, and the other being an inside view of the Zonal Office located in the same building. Until very recently, I was working there. Regards. --[[User:Bhadani|Bhadani]] 08:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

There is a [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mani_Majra#Requested_move_17_June_2020 discussion on the talk page section of Sector 13].

Disclaimer: This is just an invite for you to participate. I neither encourage you to vote against the topic nor in the favor of the topic. This is just a neutral message for participation and It is totally your decision.

'''Following is the brief of the topic''' :-

Manimajra was renamed as sector 13 legally by UT government of Chandigarh in January 2020 .

Below are links to the decision:-

1). https://m.timesofindia.com/city/chandigarh/manimajra-to-be-renamed-sector-13-residents-elated/amp_articleshow/73114749.cms .

2). https://www.hindustantimes.com/chandigarh/chandigarh-s-manimajra-is-now-sector-13/story-ploFPCA4UGpDu9ksUxLtdL.html

It is true that the proposal had been initially opposed in december 2019. In the initial proposal, names like Sector M or Sector 26 east were proposed.

== WikiProject WS ==

Here is the link for initial proposals made :-

== Request ==

Hi Sundar, it's been a long time since we communicated! Hope things are going well. I'm pretty psyched that Bangalore will be on the Main Page tomorrow! I have a small request for you in that regard. Please add Bangalore to your watchlist and keep an eye on [[User:24.189.163.184]]. He has been vandalizing the article and removing the section in Demographics which portrays the city's past episodes of communalism. He has already been given test-1 and test-2 today (he also has a past history of being blocked for vandalism). I suspect POV warriors will be abound aplenty when the article hits the Main Page tomorrow. My own [[Automatic firearm|automatic]] is [[VandalProof|loaded and ready]]! Thanks [[User:AreJay|AreJay]] 23:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

This link i provided over here was published in Tribune India in November 2019

== Tamil History ==

But soon the {{highlight | final decision was made which overruled the previous proposals and finally the new name for manimajra was concluded as sector 13 by the beginning of 2020.}}

Hi Sundar, I will be looking at [[Chronology of Tamil history]] today and this weekend. I am also considering starting an article [[History of Tamil Nadu]] which gives an overview of the history from pre-historic to the mordern times. But I will need a lot of help with that. Cheers - [[User:Venu62|Parthi (Venu62)]] 19:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

The next link (6th Link) was also published in Tribune India with the final decision which was declared in February 2020 :-

6)https://m.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/its-official-mani-majra-is-sector-13-of-chandigarh-39042

:Hi sundar, as promised I have expanded [[Chronology of Tamil history]]. Take a look and pass on any comments. This could be the skeleton for the more comprehensive [[History of Tamil Nadu]]. Cheers - [[User:Venu62|Parthi (Venu62)]] 23:51, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

==[[Portal:India/Selected article removal candidates]]==

Hi! The template for [[Portal:India/Selected article removal candidates]] was not made, and I tried to make it. However, the result [[Template:Pisarc]] is not ok. It is not functioning perfectly as can be seen in the talk pages where this has been put, for example, [[Talk:Raja Ravi Varma]] and [[Talk:Cheese]]. See that the template shows the name of the article once again at the end! I have already contacted {{user|Nichalp}} in this regard. You can also help to resolve this technical matter.

== TUSC token 44155a1b2bdd72fd96e3b6e8b2a93925 ==

Many articles in [[Portal:India/Selected articles]] deserve to be delisted as they are either not india related or do not meet the criteria. It seems from the list as if many articles were NOT chosen by going through the prescribed procedure, rather chosen somewhat indiscriminately. Please see. Regards.--[[User:Dwaipayanc|Dwaipayan]] ([[User_talk:Dwaipayanc|talk]]) 10:55, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

:Hi. Thanks. In fact, the [[Portal:India/What is a selected article|criteria for India SA]] contains that the article should be India-related. Regards.--[[User:Dwaipayanc|Dwaipayan]] ([[User_talk:Dwaipayanc|talk]]) 12:25, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== re:Your TOCfeedback is requested ==

[[File:書.svg|80px|thumb|link=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Writing_systems#Poll_on_the_future_of_WikiProject_Writing_Systems]]

Hi, you seem that you have misunderstood my problem. I am not talking of moving the toc around the article. What I want is to make the toc ''Replace'' the left-hand side toolbox, searchbox, and navbox, and render it such that it fixed and do not scroll out of the screen if the article is scrolled. My intention is to find a layout which keeps the toc onscreen always regarless of which position in the article one is in - be at the start, the middle, or the end, without affecting the layout of the articles. The macros do not give this effect, nor are they scalable with long tocs, and higher resolutions. Please chip in if you have any suggestion regarding how to achieve what I want. --[[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">so</font>]][[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="red">U</font>]][[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">m</font>]][[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="red">'''y'''</font>]][[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">a</font>]][[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="red">S</font>]][[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">ch</font>]] 12:15, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

:Not just placing the toc outside, it must be placed in a different iFrame, not just a div. And if I do so, the left-mounted boxes will get hidden, so they have to be moved to somewhere else - I can't see any space to move them to. It was this suggestion I was asking for - where can I move these toolbox, searchbox and navbox. Anywayz, thanks for your help. --[[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">so</font>]][[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="red">U</font>]][[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">m</font>]][[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="red">'''y'''</font>]][[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">a</font>]][[User talk:Soumyasch|<font color="red">S</font>]][[User:Soumyasch|<font color="green">ch</font>]] 12:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

==[[Portal:India/Selected article removal candidates]]==

Please see [[[[Portal:India/Selected article removal candidates]]]] and its talk page. Many articles in [[Portal:India/Selected articles]] needs speedy deletion. I thought it would be better to contact an administrator as the editor responsible for the portal ({{user|Shyam Bihari}}) is on vacation. Please see the matter.

Hello,

Hi Sundar - I noticed your "about time" comment. If I may ask, what is the matter? [[User:Rama's Arrow|Rama&#39;s Arrow]] 14:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

:Oops, sorry for the confusion caused. "About time" refers to the fact that I had already announced my inactivity/wikibreak on my user/talk pages almost a month back but waited for a month to see if I'll be still active. It doesn't appear that I'll find enough time before 2007, so my editcount(iti)s may be limited to 100-200 per month. Hence, I felt it was "about time" to move myself to inactive members. --[[User:Gurubrahma|Gurubrahma]] 17:05, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.

== Thanks :-) ==

I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video).

In case you were wondering, it's a girl. -- [[User:Vadakkan|Arvind]] 21:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.

== Wheel warring ==

I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!

Please do not engage in wheel warring in the future, and wait for a consensus to emerge before undoing an administrator's actions. While unblockings of the type you just used have been routine in the past, the community seems to be drifting towards a stricter line against wheel warring. If you read the WikiEN-L archives or the [[Wikipedia:Proposed wheel warring policy]] you can see what I'm talking about. Thanks and have a great day. — [[User:Philwelch|Phil Welch]] ([[User_talk:Philwelch|t]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Philwelch|c]]) 10:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
