Nirvikar Dahiya

Saksjn, I feel I must apologize for the vehemence of my "delete" vote I just posted at Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Nirvikar Dahiya. It was not directed at your work on the article, given that you are a new editor here and may not be familiar with some of our basic principles. Please allow me to explain a little:

• Notability. Subjects must demonstrate that they are notable outside their immediate locale. Evidence for this should be provided by reliable sources, which in Wikimedia means that there must be some published sources with editorial control that show who this person is. Google is not a reliable source, only a rough indicator if someone is not notable (by having a relatively small number of hits, or showing that the hits themselves are not reliable sources). Personal or otherwise obscure websites are also not reliable sources. In this case, the first job here is to show who this person is so we can hope to discover if they are notable.

• Sourcing quotes. Quotes, too, should have reliable sources. Wikiquote, like its sister project Wikipedia, rises above the mess of user-created websites by developing verifiable information through proper sourcing. Websites with such information must have professional editors taking responsibility for their accuracy. Something like "Philip Humbert's Quotes of the Week" or "Wednesday's Quotes" just isn't acceptable. Even the MotivateUs.com site might not pass a reliability test, and its failure to examine and fully identify sources ensures it isn't useful for Wikiquote purposes.

If the only information we have on "Nirvikar Dahiya" is from quote websites with no sources or editorial review, there is no way to tell whether the subject or quote is just a popular meme or even a hoax. This is why we need reliable information.

I hope this puts the VfD discussion in a proper context. Let me know if you have any questions. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Saksjn. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Saksjn~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
