Picture of the day

Bathymetry is the study of the underwater depth of sea and ocean floors, lake floors, and river floors. It has been carried out for more than 3,000 years, with the first recorded evidence of measurements of water depth occurring in ancient Egypt. Bathymetric measurements are conducted with various methods, including depth sounding, sonar and lidar techniques, buoys, and satellite altimetry. However, despite modern computer-based research, the depth of the seabed of Earth remains less well measured in many locations than the topography of Mars. Bathymetry has various uses, including the production of bathymetric charts to guide vessels and identify underwater hazards, the study of marine life near the bottom of bodies of water, coastline analysis, and ocean dynamics, including predicting currents and tides. This video, created by the Scientific Visualization Studio at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, simulates the effect on a satellite world map of a gradual decrease in worldwide sea levels. As the sea level drops, more seabed is exposed in shades of brown, producing a bathymetric map of the world. Continental shelves appear mostly by a depth of 140 meters (460 ft), mid-ocean ridges by 3,000 meters (9,800 ft), and oceanic trenches at depths beyond 6,000 meters (20,000 ft). The video ends at a depth of 10,190 meters (33,430 ft) below sea level – the approximate depth of the Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the seabed.Video credit: NASA / Goddard Space Flight Center / Horace Mitchell, and James O'Donoghue

Hello Amar, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for all your good work on mathematics and physics topics.

You've probably already seen them, but if not, you might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: How to edit a page, Tutorial, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should probably read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Again, welcome! -- ALargeElk | Talk 08:38, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Paying it forward

Hi Amar. Rather rudely, I've only just noticed your response on my talk page, 5 days late. Sorry about that.

You ask how you can "pay it forward". One option is to join the welcoming committee, to greet other new Wikipedians. You're not committing yourself to anything - just offering to look out for anyone new and say hello when you spot them (I always keep half an eye on Special:Recent changes for any logged-in users with a blank talk page). Or, just keep doing good editing and creating good articles - that's every bit as important as all the administrative and community tasks.-- ALargeElk | Talk 15:12, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Bloch sphere

Thanks for the correction. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote arccos instead of cos. CSTAR 16:10, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Rama and supposed 'POV'

I don't know how you thought "completely different perspectives of the same figure, religion or philosophy can both find justification in the same divine personality" this was POV. I personally found it weird that the discussion of Hindutva was there at all, and how they used Rama as inspiration, so I removed it. Later on, it was replaced and people said I was being biased. So I added Gandhi's relationship to show the diametrically opposed nature of their perspective. It's true that the more militant view of a bow-toting Rama is quite different from Gandhi's passive resistant inspiration. Explain your removal and how you think this sentence is POV. Frankly, if that sentence is POV, those criteria demand the whole 'perspective' section be removed. --LordSuryaofShropshire 16:28, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

Help

The article on the philosopher Stuart Hampshire says (towards the end) that he was married to the philosopher Nancy Cartwright. The name Nancy Cartwright has an internal link, but it takes you to the page on an American actress of the same name. Could you please do the disambiguation thing here? I don't know how to. Thanks.

IS THIS HOW YOU WANT ME /MSG YOU?

Thank you for the prompt reply, much to my dismay I still havent been able to figure out how to get added onto the indian community at Wikipedia:Indian wikipedians' notice board

Also i really don't get it, what is the sandbox? Do i need to use it?
Also can i put up my write-up's from another site onto wiki, since i don't think that would make it plaigarism !
Also i hope you will be patient with my queried fuddled up mind..seriously im not as dumb as I may sound

Image:Rumtek

Hi! Please DO NOT upload new images over older unrelated one. You had uploaded Image:Rumtek.jpg over my image. This is against wikipedia rules. You would have to upload it under a new file name. I have reverted the image and the licencing. PS How was your trip to Sikkim? =Nichalp «Talk»= July 8, 2005 19:03 (UTC)

Are they all Lamas or just monks?

In your Image:Lamas_Rumtek.jpg are they really all' Lamas, or are some just monks? Billlion 12:44, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• I was under the impression that 'lama' meant a monk ... I might be mistaken of course. The people in the orange costumes in the image are monks, whatever they are. Amar 11:04, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

IITK Motto

Hi Amar,
Adding the Infobox was a nice idea. But, I have doubts abt the motto Through doubt to obfuscation. If I remember corretly its probably tamso ma jyotirgamaya, though I am not sure. Kindly make the required changes. Gaurav1146 13:39, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• • Hi Gaurav, actually I'm quite sure the motto which is there is quite right. Amar 15:38, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

Kawabata

Hi, I have added The Lake to Kawabata's works. I found that there is already an internal like to this title and it takes you to a British play. Could you plz do the disambiguation thingy here too? Regards Varada

Katharine Hepburn

Hi there, I noticed that you changed The Lake to The Lake (play) off this article, indicating in your edit summary that you were disambiguating. But The Lake isn't a disambig page; it's about the play. Or were you planning on making it into a disambig? Sorry if I left this too quickly! I just noticed this pop up on my watchlist. · Katefan0^(scribble) 21:13, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• I moved The Lake to The Lake (play) and set a link to Yasunari Kawabata's book to The Lake (novel) - the disambig was supposed to take care of that. Amar 21:16, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

• • Err .. could you please wait before I finish editing please ? Thanks. Amar 21:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Wait for what? I haven't done anything but leave you a polite inquiry. · Katefan0^(scribble) 22:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vasundhara Das

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vasundhara Das, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ∯WBG^converse 10:35, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
