Not be editing Wikipedia anymore?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did I hear you say on Joelr31's talk page that you won't be editing Wikipedia any more? You gotta be kidding me!! You can't do that Nichalp. You are the only person on Wikipedia I look up to, and even its so-called founder is not in that list. Please consider how disastrous and demoralizing this will be!! For the sake of the rest of us, you have to log in for five minutes every other day. If there are problems with FAR, I'm sure there are lots of people, who, like me, owe their Wikipedia presence to you, who will help out. I can certainly offer to help with accessing academic databases for references if they are needed. ... But this is crazy, you can't leave!! I mean, look, even my signature is modeled after yours! Fowler&fowler «Talk» 14:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS I mean I am sure Abecedare (who seems to be back), RegentsPark, Saravask, AreJay, KnowledgeHegemony, Arvind, GPPande and myself and a bunch of other people will be willing to help out in whatever way it takes for you to remain on Wikipedia. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 15:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A wikibreak, maybe? --—KnowledgeHegemony ^talk 18:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A short one? Hopefully?--Regent's Park (Boating Lake) 19:40, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To join the general chorus, I really do hope you'll reconsider - or, at least, decide to return very soon. You've been an extremely positive influence on India-related pages, and your absence will be felt. -- Arvind (talk) 00:41, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It will be weird not to see you around. Let us know how we can help. --GDibyendu (talk) 15:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Nichalp. You have new messages at RegentsPark's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Whats with the deadline for last edit on Wikipedia? Kind of puzzling me. --GP Pande 07:12, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I feel kinda lost...loss of a mentor is unbearable (no exagerration)... :( = KnowledgeHegemony ^talk 18:31, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy First Edit Day!

Happy First Edit Day, Nichalp, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

Are you okay, Nichalp? :) Best wishes, — Aitias // discussion 19:02, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-== Mumbai Forts ==
-I now have a copy of Scholberg (1995), ''Fortress Portugal In India: A photographic history of the Portuguese Forts of India''. The Bombay Forts section (to use the old name) covers 11 forts and consists of four pages of text and two pages of photographs. Many of these forts are described by a single paragraph. Bacaim has more than a page; and Chaul and Morro de Chaul have 3/4 and 1/2 a page, respectively of text. On this basis, for most of these forts, I don't think you will have enough source material to make GA status. I've also borrowed a couple of volumes of the ''New Cambridge History of India''. I will help expand some of the articles using Scholberg when I have time.  [[User:Pyrotec|Pyrotec]] ([[User talk:Pyrotec|talk]]) 11:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

-I wish to put up images in the geography section in the India article because almost every wiki country has an image in geography section except India. I feel strongly that India should show its natural beauty to the world. It will also make the India page look better. I feel strongly that more images is needed to make the article colorful and exciting. Also Ashoka Chakra should be included in the government section because it will provide a symbol of unified India in the past and present.

-Hello Nichalp. If you wish to improve the article. Just do it. This is our own Bombay article. Lots and lots of space for Images. Just add it.

-Hi Nichalp, [[List of districts of West Bengal]] has got promoted to FL. Thanks for your comments/suggestions in peer review/FLC review.--[[User:GDibyendu|GDibyendu]] ([[User talk:GDibyendu|talk]]) 16:03, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
-== Re:Origins of Bombay ==
-Thanks. I searched the book online and got to know that page 349, [http://books.google.com/books?id=miD5YO05jpUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=The+Origins+of+Bombay&as_brr=3#PPA349,M1 here], contains population figures for years 1872, 1881 and 1891. But earlier figures are on page 348 which is not available in "Limited Preview". Sad. I was also able to get figures from 1901 onwards. If you could let me know the figures from year 1661 on page 348, it will complete the series. Thanks ! --[[User:gppande|<font color="red" face="cursive">'''GP'''</font>]][[User talk:gppande|<font color="black" face="cursive">'''Pande'''</font>]] 19:09, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
-:Great help! I would shortly start working on this. BTW, what do you think of Kalimpong FAR? Almost 30+ reliable sources have been added to the article since the review begin. --[[User:gppande|<font color="red" face="cursive">'''GP'''</font>]][[User talk:gppande|<font color="black" face="cursive">'''Pande'''</font>]] 08:25, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
-::Yes, it is much tougher than Gangtok and Ahmedabad FAR. I personally feel so. I have been searching for references for hours but getting only 1 or 2 at the end of the day. Also article needs copy-editing for sections towards the bottom of the article. Upper sections of the article appear fine, but after seeing lower sections someone might raise objection once the FARC section is opened up. But am not giving it up, still adding refs to article as when I get them. :-) Hopefully, Kalimpong will remain a FA. --[[User:gppande|<font color="red" face="cursive">'''GP'''</font>]][[User talk:gppande|<font color="black" face="cursive">'''Pande'''</font>]] 13:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

-== [[List of Governors of Bombay]] ==
-Hello Nichap. I have worked on almost all your comments at [[Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Governors of Bombay/archive1]]. I think the List is ready for a FLC now. Do you think it is.

-:I tried a lot. I can't find any. I'm nominating the article. Even if it fails, the List can always be renominated. Since this would be my first FLC, I don't mind even if it fails.
