reverts on Mahajan commission report

I am not writing this note to get into a protracted war of words with you. But I suggest you please grow up and stop calling the Mahajan commission report biased just because it went against Maharashtra. You sound like a school boy who has lost a game of cricket and is complainig about bad umpiring. The commission was set up at the insistance of Maharashtra. Over the months that I have been monitoring this article, I have come away with the opinion that you guys are naive and brainwashed. What exactly do you mean by biased. Did the Karnataka govt. bribe MehrChand Mahajan?, or do you think the central govt. has something against Maharashtra that they appointed a biased Supreme court judge?.

Grow Up and learn to take life with a pinch of salt. You loose some, you gain some.

STOP IT!!

Stop vandalising my talk page. You are nobody to dictate my use of popups. Stop plastering my talk page with bogus warnings. They dont mean anything and coming from you, I treat it with the contempt they deserve. I consider your antics as a personal attack on myself. Stop doing it.

Mahawiki, Please refer to your this and this edits.

Your name calling on User:Achitnis with the usage of words such as "mindless", "nonsense", "go and defend ur article" etc are uncivil and considered personal attack on that user. Also you aren't remaining civil in Talk:Belgaum border dispute page and have made uncivil comments on Rajkumar calling him as "great kannada comedian". Please refrain from such talks and involve in useful contributions. Thanks. - KNM ^Talk 06:49, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please Note

The word 'unconfirmed' was added by user:AreJay !! Not by me! I only added information about "four member committee" with proper citations and also added a few more external links. If you are new to wikipedia take your time to go through the histories with a calm mind and also read up on how things work on wikipedia. Wp is not the place for your jingoism. Sarvagnya 08:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
the word 'unconfirmed' was used because maharashtra's assertion that there were more marathis than kannadigas in belgaum is not supported by any official census reports. If you find any census reports or any WP:Notable and WP:Verifiable source that establishes that marathis outnumbered kannadigas in 1967, please cite it. If you cant, take your troll someplace else. Infact the word "unconfirmed" should be replaced with "false". Sarvagnya 08:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And your repeated use of the word "Kannadi" is ceasing to be funny anymore. Just so you dont plead ignorance, people who speak Kannada are called Kannadigas just like people who speak Marathi are called Marathas or Marathis and not Mara-chee or Mara-Thoo. Sarvagnya 08:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am not editing this for a few hours. Do whatever edits you want to make, but make sure you maintain consistency between the Belgaum and Belgaum_district pages as far as the Border problem section is concerned. You yourself seem to have different versions of the Border problem for the two pages. Fix it. Sarvagnya 08:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also your branding Deccan Herald untrustworthy, 'comic relief' etc., is not going to make any difference to Deccan Herald's WP:Notability or WP:Verifiability. Deccan Herald is too reputed a newspaper for you to wish it away. So stop making a spectacle of yourself on that count too. Sarvagnya 08:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ENOUGH!!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED BEFORE NOT TO USE UNCOUTH SLANGS LIKE 'KANNADI'(SIC). STOP THE NONSENSE NOW!!

OK, it is time for your joking to end. You are potentially offending people, both here in the Wikipedia community and the wider readership. What you are doing could be seen as vandalism and you could get blocked from editing Wikipedia for it. You might not get another warning before having a block imposed, so be careful and be serious from now on.

I have no problems with being 'citation savvy' as u call it. But on wikipedia there is a method to everything. If you want a citation for something, you tag it with a {{fact}} tag first(unless it is a clear case of vandalism) and then if you dont get any response, you delete it. That is the civilised and good faith way of doing things on wikipedia. And my posts here concern only your behaviour and practices on wikipedia, not the article. If it is about the article, I know better than you to take it up on the article page. Sarvagnya 06:24, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sarvagnya's inappropriate comments and Kannadi issue

Mahawiki in case you do not know it there is no such term as "Kannadi" the correct term is "Kannadiga". I would request that you do not use the term "Kannadi" as it is offensive. Also please stick to English on the English wikipedia. You can enable you emails and talk among yourselves if there is something you and Arya Rajya want to discuss in private. Haphar 18:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mahawiki, this is my request as well. Please do not use the term "Kannadi". You can either use 'Kannadigas' or 'Kannada people'. Thank you for your understanding. - KNM ^{Talk - Contribs} 18:43, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We are discussing an English article here and English wikipedia. So the term Kannada or Kannadiga is the right use. In Marathi wiki you can use whatever term is used. Also in English wikipedia please stick to English. You can set up private conversations in email between the two of you. The talk pages are for discussions on behaviour and articles. You can have personal conversations but the ettiquette demands the language be used that the forum is in. You can look to contribute and discuss in Marathi on the Marathi wiki in marathi. Please avoid it in the English wikipedia. Excalmations, random sentences are still tolerable not whole passages. Haphar 15:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont give a damn what Maratis call Kannadigas or what is written on Marati wikipedia. This is english wikipedia and the only right term to use is the native term. Using your own hoary term is like using angrezi/ angrez/ firang/ firangi etc., to refer to English speaking people on Wikipedia. And dont hide behind meaningless google hits which only maratis can read. Interestingly, google also gives a hit for Chatripati Shivaji. So right, Chatripati Shivaji(wow.. the name sounds so coooool), he is and will be from now on. Sarvagnya 16:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sarvganya you are not helping matters by jumping in and using such language. I would request you to refrain from using provocative language and terms. Let's get things on a civil note before carrying on. Haphar 14:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me you aren't arguing over the proper suffix to append to a word... The only difference between the terms is that Kannadiga has a "gi" at the end to start with. How does dropping the "gi" make the term offensive? And wouldn't the English form be "Karnatakan"? --tjstrf 18:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If I have dispute with you and malign your name and twist it, then it is offensive. Then even two letters make a difference then. Incidentally it's "ga" and not"gi" in this case. Even Karnatakan would be acceptable but Kannadi is not a term that is used in the mainstream. Specially when referring to a community with which the user has issues . (The two "states" involved in THIS discussion- Maharashtra and Karnataka respectively- have a border dispute going on between them, which two camps are now battling over on wikipedia ) In the case of Karnataka- Kannadiga is refered to native Kannada speakers, they have people from other states who have settled there who can be called Karnatakan. But Kannadi is not used and has been used repeatedly by this user despite request's by many not to do so. So the issue is not of "proper" suffix, but how to keep exchanges civil and not cause offence.

It's the proper word to be used to minimise the debate on some other pages that two camps have been warring on, and if you could go through a bit of the history it would help you understand. Haphar 14:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
