Women in Red
[edit]Hi there, DesiBoy101. I've been looking at the interesting articles about women artists in India you have been writing over the past year. It would be useful to have you as a member of WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve coverage of women on Wikipedia. This month's focus on Art+Feminism and Folklore seems to coincide with your interests. You can become a member by registering in the box at the top of wp:Women in Red. Even if you do not feel like joining, I look forward to your future articles. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:55, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Ipigott, thank you for reaching out! I'm indeed aware of the WikiProject Women in Red and the work that is done by the wonderful community. My foray into editing Wikipedia and subsequently, the Indian women artists, came about during Art+Feminism in 2021. Currently, I'm participating in one of the Indian A+F events as a part of the 2022 edition. Happy to share that I've now joined the WiR project and will check out the details of the ongoing event soon. With WiR, I look forward to extend the number of my contributions beyond the Women's History Month and hopefully make a sizeable effort throughout the year! :) DesiBoy101 (talk) 17:53, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Welcome to Women in Red! Good to have you as a member, DesBoy101. For reference works and related links on Indian artists, you should browse through our Redlist index. If you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you Ipigott! I've gone through the list and the primer that you've shared. I think I'm ready to dive right in! While going through the red list I discovered that there is one artist, Parvathi Nayar who already has a Wiki page but two Wikidata entries - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20563273 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q27452173. Maybe you can merge these two, if possible. I'm pretty sure they are the same. Also, if you could share the merge process with me, I could learn something new.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dinshaw Bilimoria, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

June 2022
[edit]Hi DesiBoy101, I just wanted to give you a heads-up that when adding infoboxes to articles, they should be placed before the introduction per WP:LAYOUT. I think I have them all fixed now, so no big deal. I just wanted to message you incase you seen the edits and was wondering what I was doing. Thanks. Cmr08 (talk) 06:39, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Cmr08, thanks for the heads-up and updating the infoboxes as well as headings. Those were some of the initial articles I'd created on Wiki when I thought that I need to place them after the first paragraph for mobile layouts, haha. I realized later that this was not the case and placed it rightly in the future pages without looking at the previous articles. Appreciate your time and effort in going through my articles.

[edit]On 2 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sundari painting, which you recently nominated.

Verifiability not truth
[edit] You have made a partial balls-up of your edit to the article on PCMC Bhavan metro station. This message is intended to help you understand what mistake you made, in the hope that you will do better in the future. The existing citation from Urban Transport News supported the claim that currently Purple Line is operational between PCMC Bhavan and Phugewadi
. That information was correct until Prime Minister Modi opened the section to Civil Court on 1 August 2023.
- Your edit updated the information, which in one sense was good.
- But you parked the updated information next to the existing citation, which goes against our policy that information in articles must be verifiable.
What you should have done was either: (a) delete the citation from Urban Transport News and provide a new citation that supports the updated information, or (b) grow the article so that it explains both what was the case from March 2022 to July 2023 (which was supported by the from Urban Transport News) and provide a new citation that supports the current text. (b) would have been the best choice, because the idea is to build an encyclopaedia.
I will fix the problem. I know you mean well, and partially did well.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hello @Toddy1, thanks for your comment. I understand your point and have already realised the same while updating the page(s). Will keep it mind for future edits. Regards - DesiBoy101 (talk) 19:26, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, this is to inform you that the PIB has uploaded images of the Paralympians on their website. Please upload the images here like you did for the Olympians. OCDD (talk) 17:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- @OCDD - Thanks for the info. The images have been uploaded over Commons and added to Wikipedia now. DesiBoy101 (talk) 09:15, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. A few are still left. Like Avani Lekhara, Harvinder Singh, Sumit Antil, Nitesh Kumar etc. Will you be adding those too? Since these images are available, recent and allowed on Wikipedia, it becomes the perfect time to add / update pictures of all the medalists. OCDD (talk) 10:23, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- @OCDD - I think the existing photos for Avani, Sumit, Harvinder Singh and previous Paralympic medalists are good enough. For Nitesh Kumar, I couldn't find any suitable front facing image in the recent PIB albums. So I've left it for now. DesiBoy101 (talk) 19:14, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

DCWC closing update
[edit]The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, 
Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; 
BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, 
Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!
In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! 
Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.
The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...
We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.
