message: This is a request to all members who think they can make a good userbox to make a new userbox on the "idea" started by The Times of India called "India Poised" .
It could probably say something like : I Believe 
I believe in India Poised    where "India Poised" should be a link to an article on the same .
This means we should all begin contributing to an article with the name "India Poised" .
Please reply with your ideas and userboxe ,if any .

message: After Times of India, it is Vijay Times which is plagiarizing Wikipedia articles and images. Most of today's Sunday supplement was plagarised verbatim from wikipedia articles.

message: A quick overview for newcomers: The Kingbotk Plugin is a set of add-on tools for the wiki editor, AWB. In bot mode it offers robust templating for WikiProjects. In manual mode, it can also be used to help editors assess articles quickly and efficiently.
Per requests, myself and  have just released a new version of the Kingbotk Plugin which is compatible with the latest AWB. To make things even easier, the plugin now ships with AWB. You may also have noticed my bot running over the last few days, testing the new version.
Since your WikiProject is one of the few which are programatically supported it's important that you inform us of any important changes to your WikiProject's template which have occurred in the last few months.
*The most important change we should know about is new redirects to your template. If your template could possibly be used on talk pages with a different name unknown to the plugin, double templating could result. Please take the time to check for redirects to your project's template - somebody might have created one without you noticing.
*Deprecated or removed parameters. We don't want complaints that the plugin is using old syntax now do we? :)
*Not critical in terms of annoying the masses, but for your own convenience you might want to let us know of any new parameters that the plugin needs to support. Remember, it only needs to support parameters which will be added by bots or which are useful in the article assessment process.
I hope you still find the tool useful. Comments, questions and bug reports to User talk:Kingbotk/Plugin. Cheers. --kingboyk 17:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: While checking out this story and updating Suman Ranganathan because of it, it made me wonder if the Mr India World (2007) contest was worth a page or more wrt notability? Google News is covering it, and I noticed that the Times of India have devoted a special section to it as well as some other sites. Any takers? Ekantik talk 01:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
