You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Kamala Nehru

Thank you for pointing out that a citation is needed in the lede of Kamala Nehru, and for explaining the reasons so well. Your tag has now been sitting there 5 months, and I think it would be appropriate to replace the text in question with her husband's description of her. (Of course, a husband isn't necessarily a reliable source, but this can be made clear by making it explicit that it is his opinion.) Do you have the exact quote and reference? — Sebastian 11:17, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Sure - I have Nehru's book so I can check this out and add this. Can you remind me again of the context as I have made so many edits since then :-S Notthebestusername (talk) 03:31, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

got it here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kamala_Nehru) - will add Nehru's exact words witht eh reference. Notthebestusername (talk) 03:32, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. Not sure what you're asking of me - the context is just the lede, or, more exactly, the sentence which you tagged: "She was known to be deeply sincere, highly patriotic, a women's rights activist, serious minded and sensitive.". Is that what you were asking, or is there anything else I can do to help? — Sebastian 10:12, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stock market crashes in India

Hello Notthebestusername,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Stock market crashes in India for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ardaseer Cursetjee

Hi, is there any chance of you taking another look at Ardaseer Cursetjee? I see you did quite a lot of work on it a while ago, especially in the "Family" section, but it doesn't appear to make much sense. At one point we are saying he never married Marion and at another we're saying that the Parsi community did not accept the marriage, which is contradictory. More, we are using a blog, which is rarely a good idea. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 08:15, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

@ Sitush, Sure. I will do so. I agree on your comment on the citation. I wonder - can you direct me to a few good references? I am also looking for the same, but would appreciate any help in this. Notthebestusername (talk) 05:12, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I found the article while doing some cleaning up and have zero knowledge of the subject, so I'm not much use to you as a provider of sources unless I start digging around for them myself. If you can't find appropriate sources then it may be best to remove all unsourced statements and those that are sourced to the blog: better to say nothing than to say the wrong thing, etc. - Sitush (talk) 07:28, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@ Sitush Thanks. I did some more digging and managed to find better citations. I have placed them instead and also improved the content of the wiki, removing any contradictions. The one blog that I have however left is actually authored by the University college of London and is used as part of the course curriculum there. I understand it undergoes a lot of cross checking from the peers in the university and so I have only kept this one. I will also check if I can get my hands on Ardaseer's book when I visit the British library next - perhaps they might have a surviving edition. Notthebestusername (talk) 02:54, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Great, thanks very much for taking the time. I know that it can be a pain revisiting old writings. - Sitush (talk) 03:11, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Indian Railways, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lord Hardinge (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Woody Island (South China Sea)

Thanks for your improvements to the article, and your other work on other articles, but you are introducing quite a few errors. For example, you have written "The paracel are a group of island and atolls in the South western part of South China sea." Well no, they're not. Not even close. "The Paracels are a group of islands and atolls in the north western part of South China Sea." It is the Spratlys which are in the south of the South China Sea (SCS), not the Paracels. I'll give it a few days before I start correcting your errors. Maybe in the meantime you will have corrected them? Best wishes, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:55, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

BTW: 3,000 metres (or is it 2,700 metres - I can't put my finger on the exact number) is NOT a "small" airport - it's at least twice the length of any other non-PRC airport in the SCS. Pdfpdf (talk) 16:02, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I have corrected the error regarding Paracel. Regarding the airport, the landing strip in woody island is small as per the classification of ICAO and FAA. I have added this qualifier in the wiki. The qualifier that you mention really does not make much sense - a small airport in the Antartica remains a small airport, even if it is the largest in Antartica. The airstrip on woody island is barely sufficient to land a small aircraft (the PRC managed one landing which was more of a "pride landing"). This landing strip is quiet similar to the ones on Lakshadweep (a small airport). Notthebestusername (talk) 02:59, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Regarding your Antartica analogy: Fair comment. Pdfpdf (talk) 09:33, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Regarding "small": References saying that the airport can handle Boeing-737-sized aircraft and the PRC's fighter jets gave me the impression that it wasn't "small". Your comments now make me realise that I need to know more about the relative sizes of airports. I do reflect, however, that given that it's twice the length of any other non-PRC airport in the SCS, what are the other non-PRC airports? Tiny? No big deal. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 09:33, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks - your comment led me to read up more which was the real fun part. I am also wondering if I should just change it to military air strip (one flight to it in 3 years really does not make it an airport...) - Thanks for pointing this out. Notthebestusername (talk) 09:41, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I find the topic of the PRC allowing "tourists" to visit the Paracels interesting - while it seems they're prepared to run cruise ships to the Crescent Group, they don't seem to want to run civilian flights (or cruise ships) to the Amphitrite Group. Like you, it seems to me that "military air strip" seems more appropriate, and I like your changes to Woody Island Airport. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 08:37, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

@Pdfpdf Thanks. Notthebestusername (talk) 06:15, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Transas moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Transas, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
