Can we please know why have you voted for deletion of the article Ananth Narayanan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). What can we do / undo to make it reinstated?
Hey Thanks for a quick response. Apologies for the typo :) I do not have any relation with the creator of this article. More so, I have contributed some legit information earlier. I suddenly see this article is for deletion and later on reviewing the version history and the content realized why it has been done. Rolling back to the previous version where in it talks more about him and less about the company he is associated with is the next step, followed by more stories (with legit references) revolving around him :)
Hope that would help? Pinaki1001 (talk) 18:25, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi User:Fitindia, any update on this? I have undone all the recent changes. Please have a look and help me reinstate this. Many thanks. Pinaki1001 (talk) 11:54, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi User:Fitindia, I disagree with that statement. He is the CEO of Myntra and Jabong and there are many CEO articles spread across WP. I do not understand what is "does not meet WP notability guidelines". Can you please elaborate? Thanks! Pinaki1001 (talk) 16:54, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Is there a better way to contact you? I genuinely need your help. Let me know if I can create a new page for Ananth Narayanan with all verification references and genuine contribution for Ananth Narayanan Pinaki1001 (talk) 07:15, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

On 7 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Manu Bhaker, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that at age 16, sport shooter Manu Bhaker became the youngest Indian to win a gold medal at the ISSF World Cup? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Manu Bhaker. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Fitindia Thankyou for taking the time to look at my submission, your feedback is appreciated I would be grateful for advice on how I can improve this post and future posts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nina_Manandhar
I am trying to build more awareness British-Asian artists who are under-represented on here.
The sources as references are from the BBC, a national channel The Guardian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian) and The Independent, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Independent) all national newspapers with large UK circulation - similarly Dazed and i-D- are Print magazines with large circulation . I had thought these would be considered multiple adequate refs for the subject to be considered notable. Any more specific advice on what could be done to improve this post before resubmission would be great, Thanks!

Hello Fitindia,
just for your information: You placed an orphan tag at a disambiguation page I've created, here. I've removed this, because disambiguation pages should not get an orphan tag, see Wikipedia:Orphan#On disambiguation pages.
Regards --Cyfal (talk) 20:35, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Fitindia. Not quite sure why you tagged the article Parsonsia diaphanophleba as an orphan. It links to eleven articles, and in particular to the articles for its author, its family and its genus. I was hoping you might explain why you consider it an orphan. Regards, MargaretRDonald (talk) 21:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello. You'll have noticed that I've reverted some of your underlinked taggings. The articles in question have lots of links on them, but they are within various templates, which for some reason AWB doesn't pick up. It might be worth avoiding tagging articles as underlinked unless you have viewed them. Cheers, Number 57 14:31, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Please consider removing the orphan tag from the stub Joseph F. Sinnott. The article did contain one incoming link, from the Joseph F. Sinnott Mansion page, but others have since been added. Thanks professmoravec

@Fitindia: Yes I first did,but now I can see your vote too for deletion so I wanted to know more about this on how to save the page from deletion.

Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Hi, thanks for your contributions. Please remember not to link "policitian", and certainly not to capitalise it. Years, country-names, common terms: generally not linked on en.WP. Thanks. Tony (talk) 12:04, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:12, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

I've just dropped this same message at User_talk:BD2412#Quick,_quick,_too_quick. In a 50 entry Special:RecentChanges snapshot, the two of you were 45+ entries. Both saying AWB. All edits in the same single minute (03:20). Kinda makes selecting "Human (not bot)" useless. Isn't there some kind of rate limiting idea?

Hello Fitindia, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

where the hell did u discuss with me on this article? the result of discussion is delete ? non sense.Uricnobel (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
It is not a repost of previous article, this is a completely different one, I am not connected with this subject. The actress is notable, and the references are reliable paper publications.

Again same old non sense? why would I know what others create? I am saying this, because it is my own work, Why do you Indian editors waste your time and others time on well edited articles? why dont you give the benefit of doubt. The article is in line with wikipedia policies. What is your psychological problem, when the article is neutral and well sourced ? Are you jealous that the actress has become notable, and she is not Indian ? Stop wasting my time here. Uricnobel (talk) 17:52, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Abadi Bano Begum (Bi-Amman).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:23, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Fitindia,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hello Fitindia. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bhavya Bishnoi, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: text is not completely promotional and can be cleaned up without a fundamental rewrite and the article claims coverage in reliable sources. Consider redirecting to a parent's article or AFD if notability is lacking. Thank you. SoWhy 10:16, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Hello Fitindia! I wonder if you have noticed that Draft:The_APX is again in the review. Last time you declined it because there were not enough reliable sources for their international tour. The tour was postponed from last fall and winter to this spring and summer and I think the sources are reliable.Jjanhone (talk) 08:48, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello Fitindia,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hey Fitindia,
Saw the template on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Abhilash_S._Kumar. This was a different Abhilash Kumar, judging by the comments in the AfD discussion. Considering reverting please? ColourfulKharacter (talk) 08:49, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
@ColourfulKharacter: Done. FitIndia Talk 09:52, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

I noticed that you tagged Jennifer Kotwal with ((prod blp)) for proposed deletion. I have removed the tag from the article because it does not meet the criteria specified. The placement requirements are (a) that subject is living, and (b) that the article contains no sources in any form (as references, external links, etc., reliable or otherwise) supporting any statements made about the person in the biography. Please fully read Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people before tagging articles for proposed deletion. Thank you. Adam9007 (talk) 00:02, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
Could you please expand upon your reasoning for accepting this AFC submission? With minimal changes made and no new sources added since the previous reviewer declined it, plus the fact that it was created for undisclosed payments by a now indef-blocked user, plus the fact that the submission for review that you accepted was placed by a sockpuppet account, I'm unsure why you would consider it suitable for publication, and would very much like to know what you were thinking.

Hey, I saw that you created a page of Rekha Sharma (Chairperson NCW) and I need help to create a page for Dr. Rajul Desai — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chinmaympatel (talk • contribs) 05:02, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
Hi FitIndia, I have read your comment on my potential undisclosed financial stake in creating pages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SarahYakzan#September_2019). I have absolutely no stake or payout in any page I have created; I do however personally know the individuals as friends. Can you please walk me through any declaration process if there is one for this? SarahYakzan (talk) 16:54, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi Fitindia! why did you move Usha Kakade in to a draft while she is a notable person having sufficient reliable and independent news coverage. What news link do you think is not reliable and independent? You down both of my articles only because of, i have less edit counts and new user.ChandrapalKolkar (talk) 10:24, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
You also tagged Harish Shakya article for deletion. he is a notable personality in BJP BBudaun District. ChandrapalKolkar (talk) 10:27, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Fitindia (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Looks like a range block (Editing from 185.44.76.0/22 has been blocked) that's what am seeing. Have also requested a IP block exempt. Thank you warm regards. FitIndia ✉ बात 15:45, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
185.44.76.0/22 is indeed a webhost (Hydra Communications). You'll need to disable your VPN in order to edit. The instructions for requesting IPBE in this case can be found at WP:IPECPROXY. SQLQuery me! 16:34, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Hello Fitindia,
Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.
Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.
Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.
Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. If your account is more than four days old and you have made at least 10 edits you can create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hello Fitindia,
This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 802 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Hi there is a wikipage which is not fair to a persons life 1. By labeling to a incident in his life 2. not even having a photo 3. not covering other aspects of his life.We created one page which is like his biography page with a dignified name but it was declined by a reviewer without considering the content. the redirection with the name is unfair the new page need to be vlalid, How can i request another reviewer with information.
Fair eg 1: Name"JIAH KHAN" WikiPAge:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiah_Khan
Fair eg2: Name:Robin Williams" Wikipage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams
unfair eg.1 Name: "Rohith Vemula": notdignified Wikipage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Rohith_Vemula
Unfair eg.2 Name: (Payal Tadvi) : Undignified page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Payal_Tadvi
Have created a more biographical page compared to an event(Suicide) page Right page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rohith_Vemula
this page needs to be critically reviewed not as a biography page :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Rohith_Vemula and the redirect needs to be updated. kindly help us to reach to a clearthinking and unbiased reviewing.
Rasa guru (talk) 09:07, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
Yes, It sounds insensitive and also is further proof of the Insensitivity of Indian Society towards Human Dignity. To mark & label a human by their manner of death rather than see & recognize the humanity in the person. Well we can surely learn from the Global solidarity in showing compassion and empathize with the persons Holistically. The Resoning of rejection equating "well established" with fame in media, the two examples were well established as humans in their respective communities and the recognition they deserve as Humans First. by going with your logic maybe we should rename "Bhagat singh's Bio page" as "Hanging of Bhagath singh" or "Nathuram Godse" as the "Assassin Godse".. and many more pages need to be edited going by the Rejection logic given (Person to be known by the incident he is famous for later rather than a Bio page for the person)
I Searched on the format "Suicide of X" & "x" found multiple right instances of Wikipaging. Good examples are available of BETTER LOGICAL REVIEWING where they have separate pages as it should be ethically also.. 1.IncidentPage : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_of_Kurt_Cobain 2.BioPAge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Cobain
Another point of Highlighting the suicide and not focusing on the personality may lead to Copycat Suicides & Contagion there are research on it. U may refer the Docs below also i See u unfit to review this as an Indian, plz pass it on to a neutral unbiased Reviewer who knows the sensitiveness of Suicide and caste issues. https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/the-werther-effect/42915/
I request sensitive Reviewing, if ability to empathize is less in Indian reviewers, As a Global Netizen I am requesting not to reject but pass on to unbiased neutral Non-Indian Reviewers as a third party arbitrator out of the biased Indian systems, for the sake of Wikipedias ethical freedom of expression. This Page is rightful in its asserting compliance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 12, 10 & 8 https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ and a reviewer needs to be aware and in aggreement/Sensitive to the UN Directives for being fit to review the Bio Pages of Suicide & Caste Discrimination Victims the world over, is there a EmpathicIndia or a HumaneWorld Reviewer plz pass the review to them??
