Hi Phill88. I had completed all tasks at my end on Sunil Kumar Verma. Article really looks good now with brief about work and multidimensional contributions of Verma for Indian Science and Technology as well as Society. Can it make a "Good Article" now on Wiki? Views?? Educationtemple (talk) 12:37, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Done! If successful, it would give me a great confidence as an editor...! If not, it would give an opportunity to learn new things and improve upon. Cheers! Educationtemple (talk) 17:32, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
The play button on the video on Sunil Kumar Verma is showing in a corner of thumbnail image for this video. Can it go in the center of the video thumb? Educationtemple (talk) 17:56, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Great! Cheers!! Educationtemple (talk) 19:33, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Dear Philg88, hope you are doing great and keeping great health and spirit in New Year 2015 too. W.carter told me a lot about you that you are a great teacher! I too admire you!!
Article on Sunil Kumar Verma is on GA review now. W.carter helped me a lot to improve this! Can you also participate in GA review? I am leaving for Delhi after 2 hrs from now and will have limited access to net for next 3-4 days! In the mean times, I just convey to you my regards and three cheers for a great new year ahead! Educationtemple (talk) 20:33, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Dear Philg88 the GA review for Sunil Kumar Verma failed at present. The reviewer has raised some points, which I am convinced with and I am willing to work on all of them since they are not quite serious one and can be resolved with little more in depth research. Just thought to update you on this - if you have anything to point out, please do that, it will help me to work further on the matter.
Note: the DYK for Lalji Singh seems to have passed in DYK review. Am I right? rgds... Educationtemple (talk) 13:55, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello Philg88,
I'll be putting out a formal update sometime soon, but I wanted to inform you that I've decided to push our start date back to mid-February rather than in January. There are number of reasons for this, but the biggest factor is that we are now facing the hard work of implementing our designs on the Mediawiki interface. It's a limiting environment to work with from a web-building perspective, and the team that worked on the Teahouse can offer similar testimonials to these challenges. We also want to make sure there is time for us and for you to test the environment out, ask questions at our project's talk page, and give us a little time to make any last changes before we start inviting editors to the space. If some of you know you will be unavailable during this time, it's totally fine if you need to bow out for the pilot. But we do need all the mentors we can get, so even if you can take the time to mentor just one or two editors, that would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch,
I, JethroBT drop me a line on behalf of Wikipedia:Co-op.

Hi there! This data base just popped up on my radar. I will certainly add the Sales Catalogues from the Swedish East India Company 1733-1759 somewhere, but there are also some nice English things (plus some other companies) if you are interested. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 16:23, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

If you have the time and feel inclined to do so, do you think you can do some copy editing on this my latest article? I may do some more tweaking, but I think I'm done with most of it. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 01:17, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Actually, you've solved a mystery for me. We have a ship, the MS Sigyn, to handle things like that. I see her in the harbor every Almedalen Week, and I've always wondered what she was doing there. Now I know, contraband is being shipped. w.carter-Talk 10:13, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Philg88, I have finished editing in Sunil Kumar Verma as per GA review suggestions. @W.carter: has also checked and done CE. May I now request you to have a look when you have some time, please so that I could again send it for GA re-consideration. Educationtemple (talk) 10:29, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Amazing! Thank you Philg88. I checked all the edits one by one by comparing and all of them were great! A lot to learn from you! Thank you once again! Educationtemple (talk) 08:29, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
Dear Philg88, I have tried to initiate a reassessment process for Sunil Kumar Verma, added all templated etc, but could not add the GA2 page on the talk page of [Sunil Kumar Verma] Dont know how to do this! I created template for the individual assessment. Was it OK? or I should have gone for community assessment template ? Educationtemple (talk) 14:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
OK. tc Educationtemple (talk) 16:14, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
I did a mistake while renominating Sunil Kumar Verma. Corrected now! Thanks to @Jim Carter: for suggestion (here) on my mistake. Hope things are fine now and will move. Educationtemple (talk) 16:36, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Philg88,
I saw you made an infomed update to the CTBTO page. I work for the CTBTO and in keeping with Wikipedia's policy to declare vested interest and instead use the talk pages to suggest edits, I've written some information and provided reference links on three areas (detection of North Korean test in 2013, the Chelyabinski meteor and On-Site Inspection) that provides useful information to update the Wikipedia entry on the The Prepartory Commission of CTBTO: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Nuclear-Test-Ban_Treaty_Organisation_Preparatory_Commission. I hope you might have the time to take a look and adapt as you see fit. Best wishes, KNGH
2013 Nuclear Test by North Korea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_North_Korean_nuclear_test
At 02.57.51 (UTC) on 12 February 2013, the CTBTO seismic network detected an unusual seismic event in North Korea, which measured 4.9 in magnitude. Later that morning, North Korea announced that it had conducted a nuclear test. The event was registered by 94 seismic stations and two infrasound stations in the CTBTO’s network.
The analysed data showed the event’s location (with a certainty of about +/- 8.1 km) was largely identical with the two previous nuclear tests (Lat.: 41.313 degrees north; long.: 129.101 degrees east). As with the two previous nuclear tests, the signal was emitted from close to the surface.

At the time, CTBTO Executive Secretary Tibor Tóth, strongly condemned DPRK’s action as “a clear threat to international peace and security.” http://www.ctbto.org/press-centre/press-releases/2013/ctbto-executive-secretary-tibor-toth-condemns-declared-north-korean-nuclear-test/
The CTBTO radionuclide network later made a significant detection of radioactive noble gases that could be attributed to the nuclear test announced by North Korea, the CTBTO said in a statement released 23 April 2013. http://www.ctbto.org/press-centre/press-releases/2013/ctbto-detects-radioactivity-consistent-with-12-february-announced-north-korean-nuclear-test/
The detection was made at the radionuclide station in Takasaki, Japan, located at around 1,000 kilometres, or 620 miles, from the North Korean test site. Lower levels were picked up at another station in Ussuriysk, Russia. Two radioactive isotopes of the noble gas xenon were identified, xenon-131m and xenon-133, which provide reliable information on the nuclear nature of the source.
The ratio of the detected xenon isotopes is consistent with a nuclear fission event occurring more than 50 days before the detection (nuclear fission can occur in both nuclear explosions and nuclear energy production). This coincided well with the announced nuclear test by North Korea, on 12 February 2013, some 55 days before the measurement.

Using Atmospheric Transport Modelling, which calculates the three-dimensional travel path of airborne radioactivity on the basis of weather data, the DPRK test site was identified as a possible source for the emission. Watch a video showing this .

Civil and Scientific Uses of CTBTO Data The Chelyabinski meteor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelyabinsk_meteor Infrasonic waves from the meteor that broke up over Russia's Ural mountains on 15 February 2013 were the largest ever recorded by the CTBTO's International Monitoring System. The blast was detected by 20 infrasound stations in the CTBTO's network.

Suggested additional sentence under the On Site Inspection heading.
….From 10 November to 9 December 2014, a full-scale exercise of an on-site inspection (known as the Integrated Field Exercise 2014 or IFE14) was carried out in Jordan and Austria. It involved four years of preparation, 150 tonnes of specialized equipment and over 200 international experts.

Move edit: (06:34) "Philg88 moved page EVine Live to EVINE Live: Requested at WP:RM as uncontroversial." Well if you check the talk page Anthony Appleyard contested the move there 3 minutes (06:31) before you made the move. I just recently found the whole name change business Evine/ShopHQ through a Navbox and would have contested the move too. Can not seem to contest it at WP:RM.

Dear Mr. Holmes, I need some help with this article. Is the subject notable? The sources are in Chinese, which is acceptable but I can't verify. It also needs some work. So I need some help. Thanks, Dr. Watson aka Jim Carter 05:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
He's certainly notable. I've added the appropriate interwiki link and his Chinese name. The article requires a lot of work, which really needs someone who understands Chinese and this period of history. Right now, I am quite busy with off-Wiki partnership projects for the Wikipedia Library so I don't have time to do the clean up. Philg88 ♦talk 06:05, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

You have closed this[1], you may want to correct because one editor is blocked for 24 hours and other editor is blocked for a week. I would've surely commented there.
