This refers to your redirect of "Brahmos" to BrahMos. May I respectfully suggest that you may consider if you have a neutral POV on military matters versus religious matters. May I also respectfully suggest that BrahMos is a recently coined (artificial) acronym whereas the Brahmos (religionists) have existed since at least 1828 with that appellation which by no stretch can be considered to be "colloquial". I trust that you shall do the right thing as per Wikipedia norms.Ronosen (talk) 19:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
More Brahmos
Thanks Sniperz11. Could you please review Brahmo especially w.r.t Brahmo Samaj and leave yr comments on its Talk page. We have done quite a bit and request you to put the appropriate maintenance tags again - at least the glaring ones which we shall tackle right away.Ronosen (talk) 16:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Mr.Sniper. Your innocuous remark on Talk:Brahmo has triggered a merge tag. Kindly examine. BTW Many thanks for your assistance on the page. Yvantanguy (talk) 07:20, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Sniperz11. If merger is done there will be war. It is like Shia - Sunni. We dont agree on who founded the Brahmo Samaj. We dont agree on when the Brahmo Samaj was founded. We both have official sources with all kinds of "scholarly" books (you know how Indian History is written and re-written). In this case it will be Harvard-Andover school of Theolgy versus Chicago school of Theology (all the records are over there). The reason that the Brahmo Samaj article is so sketchy is because we were very happy to keep the long holding truce, but recent developments are causing destabilisation. Many thanks for your comments (all of them). I understand you clearly, Paul B takes some comprehension Yvantanguy (talk) 19:24, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Sniperz11. I'm back to bother you. The Brahmo faction problems are bubbling away in a civilised fashion at Brahmo Samaj - we are slowly inching towards the controversial parts, but HinduPatriot missiles displaying Circular Error Probability in their internal guidance systems are buzzing around. Can you check out my latest post at Talk:Brahmo_Samaj, because I dont know how to deal with this kind of situation (which evidently is quite rampant in Wikipedia) as per WP policy? Thanks and Cheers. PS can u also advise me if I had violated 3RR policy there with one User:B_Nambiar? Yvantanguy (talk) 17:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for leaving a message about the template. You say the look has completely changed, but, comparing before and after, the only noticeable change to me is the width used inside the template. If I tweaked the settings so the full width was used, would that be enough or are there other features on your mind? Sardanaphalus (talk) 12:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
This article needs to be globalized, because it makes the false claim that maneuvering RVs are an Indian invention. Seems to be the work of an Indian nationalist, or at best one naive about the world history of reentry vehicles.
"The article claims that the maneuvering RV of Agni is not merely "advanced," but superior to Western or possibly Soviet RVs. Yet, Indian development of MRV apparently took place in the 80's or possibly early 90's, as per the article itself. The US developed MRVs in the early- to mid-60's, starting with ASSET testing the basic vehicle layout and construction. (See: Heppenheimer, NASA SP-4221, Chapter 1.) Next, The G. L. Martin Co.'s PRIME actually demonstrated extreme crossranges, in a trajectory identical to an actual ICBM launch. Pershing II actually deployed a "smart" warhead, with movable fins actuated autonomously by an onboard seeker head... in 1983. This is all in addition to civilian programs for maneuvering re-entry bodies (i.e. the Apollo capsule, Space Shuttle, CRV), and any Soviet work.
"The West then abandoned MRVs. Highly-accurate rocket motors, combined with worldwide intelligence in the form of high-accuracy geodesy and frequently-updated atmospheric models, negated the need for terminal correction. Meanwhile, ballistic missile defenses were countered by the deployment of large, reliable ICBM forces. Combined with a reasonable number and sophistication in decoys, maneuvering RVs became costly, weighty, and unnecessary. For the highest precision, the West turned to cruise missiles, with CEPs of a few yards.
"And yet, this article claims MRVs are an Indian invention, not an Indian attempt to catch up to the West. It is this article that is the invention."
Would you care to revise the article, within five days, or would you rather see what I will write? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.8.238.186 (talk) 00:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
BCAD
Hi! Will you be able to finish your BCAD range over the next few days, do you think? You don't have many left to do and we are looking to close the drive soon. All the best, --ROGER DAVIEStalk 04:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to nag but would you mind if ask another editor to finish off your second A-list range? This is not reflection at all on your work, which has - as always - been excellent. I entirely understand that things don't always go according to plan and that real life intervenes:) If I don't hear within 24 hours, I'll assume it's okay. Thanks very much for your help so far, --ROGER DAVIEStalk 18:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
No problem at all, mate! Thanks very much for letting me know and finding the time :) --ROGER DAVIEStalk 05:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Kim is starting the lectures on April 6th around 15:00 UTC (although that is apparently open to discussion). Just a reminder... Xavexgoem (talk) 14:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I've been declared an Indian!
Sniperz, you might be interested in this diff and this one. I've also opened a comment at WT:AIR. Thanks. (PS. Chanka must be on holiday, or this guy would really get to see an Indian's response!) - BillCJ (talk) 07:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Lectures
The lecture has started. irc.freenode.net, #wikipedia-en-lectures
Sniperz, another user asked for my help on the Telangana article, citing vandalism. From what i can see, it's more of an edit conflict, with the supposed vandal adding biased/POV material, and not straight vandalism, tho they may be trying to be disruptive. Would you mind chacking it oput, and seeing if there's anything you can do to help. or someone else you can refer to help him with the page? Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 01:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
User box problem
I think the problem is one of the userboxes in your Groups userset. It may not be working properly.
I hope you don't mind but I've commented it out. After doing this, the userbox sets below it ("Stupid stuff which doesn't matter" etc) and the rest of page display perfectly. I suggest you un-comment "Groups" and then comment out each of the userboxes in it one by one to see which one is breaking it. You will be able to tell because the other group sets will appear/disappear. I hope this helps :)
Well, I followed my own advice and tried commenting out user boxes in the Groups userset one by one. The problem is with {{User wikihi}}: once this is commented out the problem goes away. If you want to follow this up, you can ask on the template's talk page. --ROGER DAVIEStalk 13:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Template:Indian missiles
Following our previous discussion, do you think something like Sagarika • K15 would be more appropriate than the current SLBM • Sagarika? I'm not sure what's the meaning of K15 in the first place, but can only guess that it is the name of the Sagarika missile currently being tested (i.e. the 700km ranged one). Do you think it's fine? Thanks. S3000 ☎ 10:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Harsh1125
Sniperz, if you're around, could you drop User talk:Harsh1125 a line, and mention about 3RR? He's dangerlously close if not over the limit on several articles due to his persistant reverting over comparable aircraft. I'd mention it myself, but as I am the arrogant Westerner (or Indian, depending on which side of the revert I'm on!) who keeps reverting him, he might take this better from you as someone not involved in the disputes. Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I second that, please take a look at the MiG-35 page. He keeps adding non sense on the page. Regards ChowHui (talk) 07:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, we're posting on time for once (40 minutes early). Todays lecture is by Vassyana (an expert mediator), who will be talking about how to deal with conflicts, whether you are a mediator or not. Hope to see you there! --Kim Bruning (talk) 14:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Todays lecture is starting! The topic is "How source experts judge source reliability" and the speaker is DGG. The meeting location for setup is #wikipedia-en-lectures on irc.freenode.net. The lecture will be given over skype. Contact Filll2 or kim_bruning to be invited to the lecture chat also.
Why's the Shivalik included as a frigate in service in the Navy? If I'm correct, it's still in construction. Tried Googling but couldn't find any source that says it's inducted. Can you please correct me if I'm wrong? Don't wanna remove it before confirming with somebody else as I'm not too well versed in this field. Thanks. S3000 ☎ 10:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Your image is sort of wrong, because most websites I saw said AgniIII has a range of plus 5000km http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/MISSILES/Images/Graph_payload_vs_range_r2A_700pixle.jpg
Check this graph out
and can u pl make changes and upload a new one with an average load of 100okm as most countries use that average, that would give the Agni a 8000km range.
