Article on Gurudas BanerjeeI created an article for Gurudas Banerjee, who seems to have played Ramakrishna more often than anyone else. It still has loose ends that need tying up, but perhaps it's not too early to submit to Did You Know. It would not pass DYK until it's cleaned up, but that doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be nominated (and it could still be worked on while waiting for review). What do you think? If you think it's not too early, feel free to go ahead and nominate (perhaps a fact for a hook would be what's below the photo, which could conceivably itself be included...). Thanks, and congrats on all your good work at The Light:.... -- Presearch (talk) 10:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC) ![]() You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

They do show a lot of credits (in Bengali) in the first minute or two. Perhaps with luck that will help us figure out the identity of this video - whether it's the 1982 film, or something else in our table, or something else entirely new that we should add. The database links for the 1982 film are: CITWF Gomolo

Other stuff1. I presume you saw my response a day or two ago with a draft email HERE for contacting Prabuddha Bharata, etc.? (no rush - just checking you didn't miss it) 2. I've now created a page to collect info about plays about Ramakrishna: User:Presearch/PaRK. I regard it as lower-priority than the films page. But if we encounter info, let's collect it there. If you have a list of such plays, by all means enter that info when you have time.... Thanks -- Presearch (talk) 02:47, 3 February 2013 (UTC) Ready for DYK?Dear Tito, please take another look at Gurudas Banerjee, and tell me if you think it is ready to be nominated for DYK. You can see that I have added material on the talk page that invites Bengali speakers to help clarify some of the ambiguities. But the article itself is much cleaner. No links in tables. There are a few places where the footnotes say "see talk page" -I wonder if this is OK for a DYK article, to acknowledge uncertainty like this? If not, I wonder what the best next step is. Also, There are 4 YouTube video links now in footnotes. I will remove them if you think it necessary (most of them are on talk page). But they are from the years 1950, 1958, 1964, 1979, and all but the last one are in black and white. Do you think a copyright from a movie from Bengal in 1950 would still be in force after more than 60 years? Does Wikipedia give us any guidelines about when movie copyrights can be regarded as having expired? Note: I am trying to get this page in shape soon for a DYK nomination since the deadline is getting closer. Thanks much! -- Presearch (talk) 09:35, 3 February 2013 (UTC) ResponseWell... what about: The anonymous edit you "good-faith" reverted is factually correct. Whether belongs where it was inserted is another matter and I am semi-retired from Wikipedia, as you may see on my talki page and perhaps in the same spirit that you are trying to go on Wikibreak, so am not going to do more than this. You may reply here, there or not at all as you see fit, and thank you for caring about Wik' enough to have an "inform me" button on you signature! — Robert Greer (talk) 17:23, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Two Qs: 1. With regard to the QPQ, how would you recommend I record it as "for" me rather than you? Should I just link a DIFF for the message you left on my talk page? 2. With regard to Sri Ramakrishna's birthday as being Feb 18 versus Mar 13, which of these two dates do you think will be more widely observed in India? It seems that the Ramakrishna Mission (here and here) is celebrating it according to a Hindu lunar calendar on March 13 in 2013. But of course, according to the western Gregorian Calendar it is Feb 18, 2013, as noted here. Which do you think is likely to be more widely recognized in India among people who read Wikipedia? Many thanks again! -- Presearch (talk) 20:17, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

DYK material?Bhaskarachandra has recently started an AfC on Ratha Kalpana (chariot metaphor used in both Katha Up. and the Gita). He has asked me, Vanischenu and others to help him with this. I think this article is DYK material. Few sentences in the background section appear like OR to me, but even without them the prose is close to 1500 characters. The article still needs to be reviewed (I can't do it because I've significant contributions in it) and then possibly submitted to DYK. Can you work with him on this? It might be encouraging for a new editor like him to see his article listed on the main page. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 23:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

On February 12, 2012, news of Whitney Houston's death brought 425 hits per second to her Wikipedia article, the highest peak traffic on any article since at least January 2010. It is broadly known that Wikipedia is the sixth most popular website on the Internet, but the English Wikipedia now has over 4 million articles and 29 million total pages. Much less attention has been given to traffic patterns and trends in content viewed.
Article feedback, at least through talk pages, has been a part of Wikipedia since its inception in 2001. The use of these pages, though, has typically been limited to experienced editors who know how to use them.
This week, we took a trip to WikiProject Norway. Started in February 2005, WikiProject Norway has become the home for almost 34,000 articles about the world's best place to live, including 16 Featured Articles, 19 Featured Lists, and nearly 250 Good Articles. The project works on a to do list, maintains a categorization system, watches article alerts, and serves as a discussion forum.
This week, the Signpost's featured content section continues its recap of 2012 by looking at featured portals, a small yet active part of the project. We interviewed FPOC directors Cirt and OhanaUnited.
On 30 January 2013, Kevin Morris in the Daily Dot summarised the bitter debates in Wikipedia around capitalisation or non-capitalisation of the word "into" in the title of the upcoming Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness.
Following the deployment of the Wikidata client to the Hungarian Wikipedia last month, the client was also deployed to the Italian and Hebrew Wikipedias on Wednesday. The next target for the client, which automatically provides phase 1 functionality, is the English Wikipedia, with a deployment date of 11 February already set.

Graeme Bartlett (talk) 14:05, 15 February 2013 (UTC) QPQ for Gurudas BanerjeeDear Tito, thanks again for doing that QPQ for me for Gurudas Banerjee. The reviewer did inquire about the QPQ, so I explained the details. When approving, the reviewer said "If Tito has consented for his review to be used as a QPQ here, then it's not an issue." Any chance you'd want to go to the template (HERE) and say "Yes, I consent"? Since Feb 18 is now so close, that might prevent delays when it is moved to the prep area of the queue.

An interview published in the Daily Telegraph on 12 February 2013, titled "Data plans 'unnerving': Wikipedia boss", saw Gardner comment on Australian plans to store personal internet and telephone data. The planned measure, intended to assist crime prevention, would involve internet service providers and mobile phone firms storing customer usage data for up to two years.

WikiCup 2013 February newsletterRound 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below. Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
Other contributors of note include:
Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome! A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
