Hi Muhandes, how are you? I am working on updating the article on Shay Segev to include his early life and career. I noticed you had edited the article about Tel Aviv University as well as the article about Mercury Interactive, both of which I want to update on Segev's page, and I hoped you would be interested in helping. I have a COI, so I understand I need community input. You can see the edit request I posted with suggested language and sources here.

Thanks, KopekDesBordes (talk) 16:45, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KopekDesBordes Any edits I made to Tel Aviv University or Mercury Interactive either fall under very minor changes or date back to my early days on Wikipedia—well before I was aware of the COI guidelines. I do have a COI with both, as an alumnus of the former and a former employee of the latter (I left MI in 2002). That said, I have no COI with Shay Segev—I’ve never met him, and he joined MI in 2004, after I left. I’ll review your edit request when I get the chance, likely tomorrow.

@KopekDesBordes: My ping on Talk:Shay Segev failed so I'm notifying you here as well that I reviewed and partially accepted your request. I think the entire Career section requires revisiting but I don't have the time or interest to do that, so I took the lazy road and tagged it for promotional language. If another editor disagrees, they are free to remove the tag. Muhandes (talk) 11:53, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 06:12, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Muhandes, did you hear Luminate and A2IM announced they're partnering together for a new certification program for independent artists? [1] Do you think this is something we would be including on here? Pillowdelight (talk) 00:58, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Pillowdelight If they maintain a database, I see no reason why not. Muhandes (talk) 09:26, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They do on their website, but their threshold is different. They don't go by the terms "Gold, platinum, diamond" etc, they go by "Star".

1 Star = 50,000 album sales

2 Star = 100,000 album sales

3 Star = 300,000 album sales

I believe that's how far it goes up to. They have certified 36 albums so far. [2] I did leave a message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums If you’d be open to leaving a comment there as well that would be greatly appreciated. Pillowdelight (talk) 09:33, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I created A2IM Star Certification (redirecting to American Association of Independent Music#A2IM Star Certification) and I commented at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums#New US Certification Program Muhandes (talk) 10:07, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Hopefully it'll gain some traction and become notable. Pillowdelight (talk) 23:12, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Haii, I would like request to can you create A wiki article on Bengaluru based International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. It established in 2007. I'm patching some sources. 1) ^[1] 2) ^[2] 3) ^[3] Thanks regards.--- Kulbhushan Jhadav (talk) 07:56, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kulbhushan Jhadav: I would need significantly more sources to establish notability. As it stands, we have two brief news mentions and an article that, based on a quick review, appears to be self-published. This may suffice for adding it as a section in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, but not for a standalone article. --Muhandes (talk) 08:53, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ICTS is just another TIFR Centres like National Centre for Biological Sciences, National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Hyderabad --- Kulbhushan Jhadav (talk) 10:00, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what your point is. Obviously you are not claiming every centre of TIFR is inherently notable. I have no interest at all in checking whether these three you mentioned are notable and if not, merge them. Muhandes (talk) 10:04, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Such mentions contribute very little to establish notability. In case it wasn't clear, I am talking about the general notability guideline: A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The important part here is "significant coverage", which that guidelines discusses. --Muhandes (talk) 10:09, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to request you can create a wiki article on TCG-CREST or The Chatterjee Group Centres for Research and Education in Science and Technology Established in 2020. Recently Union Ministry of Education awarded ‘Deemed to be University’ status. I added some resources links. https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/kolkata/one-of-the-first-research-driven-private-university-to-be-established-in-kolkata/article69641995.ece

https://www.millenniumpost.in/bengal/tcg-crest-to-start-indias-first-research-driven-private-varsity-612864 Thanks regards.--- Kulbhushan Jhadav (talk) 15:15, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kulbhushan Jhadav I agree that an institute deemed to be university is usually notable enough if it already exists for several years. If you collect some material about its inception and growth in the years since it was established, or even better, from when it was envisioned, I might be able to write a shorty about it.
