Hi. I'd like to ask a question. It appears almost impossible to lift any article on Indian political parties to FA status. In articles such the ones on BJP, INC, CPI(M) and Shiv Sena, repeatedly get dragged down in quality as opponents of these parties use the wikiarticles as their own soapboxes. Would it be possible to work out a joint consensus on how to relate to inclusion/non-inclusion of allegations, that could be applied to articles on all major Indian parties? Perhaps drafting an essay? --[[User:Soman|Soman]] ([[User talk:Soman|talk]]) 21:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Category:Iyers

Well, Iyer is not a jati. A Brahmin is a jati; a kshatriya is a jati; Iyers, Nairs etc. are ethnic groups or communities. Well, by the way, dont we have categories for Parsis, Jews,etc. Doesnt it breed religion-based discrimination of sorts. -Ravichandar84 17:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I request you to stop removing Category:Iyers from Wikipedia articles. I cant understand your motive ehind this. If at all you have any objections to the existence of the category, use proper procedure and apply for page deletion than removing entires. Regards -Ravichandar84 17:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to the pt ur tring to make, let me adsk you this question: There are categories for Parsis, Jews, Indian Muslims, etc.. Isnt there any chance of a communal riot brewing up in Wikipedia? I guess there is. Besides if a person gives relevant references then i dont really think the affiliation of the person to a particular community wud be a matter of doubt - Ravichandar84 17:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, the category page should be deleted with proper procedure and not blanked as you tried to. Thanks - Ravichandar84 17:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thats ur point of justification. I still think its okay. -Ravichandar84 17:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Category:Politicians by religion. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review.. I must respectfully disagree with your decision on the nomination and wish to bring a wider consensus.Bakaman 02:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bn script

I just noticed your post seeking Bengali script for Shamsunnahar Mahmud, and remembered you did the same on my talk page ages back, for Bharat Dev Varma. And, I also remembered, I haven't met your request yet. Well, I used to copy and paste Bengali letters from the Bengali Wikipedia to make Bengali names, which I can't do anymore because of some font support thing on my PC. But, I have a brilliant idea here. I am starting a Bengali script needed section on the Bangladesh Wikiproject. You can post your requests there. There are quite a few Bangladeshi editors who are arduously adding Bengali script to all Bangladesh related articles. May be they can help you with this. :) Aditya(talkcontribs) 13:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a "watch" please also I am developing a article called Royal flag of the Jaffna Kingdom. I have a RS source a Codrington that says it is based out of Eastern Ganga dynasty standards. The eastern Ganga article is of no help to locate a source that describes their standards, flags or insignia. If you can locate one whicg describes their flag/standrads/insignia should depict a pouncing Nandi bull with a Sun surrounding it. Thanks Taprobanus (talk) 20:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Friend it would be great if you could review this article on Iyers. It was earlier evaluated by someone who had assigned a B-grade. However, it was so long ago and since then, the reference links have nearly doubled. I have worked up the page extensively quoting Brahmin as well as anti-Brahmin sources. So you will observe that the article abides by neutrality. I've also submitted this article for peer-review as I believe that the article is certainly good enough for a higher grade. However, the person who had evaluated it took it personally and saw to it that the article isnt considered for a higher grade. You will observe this from the comments section of the 'Peer review requests' page. Unfortunately, Wikipedia has become a place for individuals to display their favoritism or personal prejudice. It would great if u cud step in and help in. Thanks --

Lal Masjid

If you think it's ready, you're welcome to renominate of course. And you need not go through me, especially if it was a quick fail. However, I would say that the multiple {{fact}} tags in the article must be remedied before any nomination occurs. Other than that, the article looks pretty good!

Re: back

Hi Baka, sorry for being so tardy in replying; am busy in real life and so my time on wikipedia is severely limited - especially as far as getting involved in "talk page discussion" is concerned. However, rest assured, that I have no plans to retire, and will be dropping by periodically over the next few weeks, and hopefully will become more active sometime in early 2008. Hope you and other editors are doing well on and off wikipedia! Regards. Abecedare (talk) 09:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indian religions

I know that the talk page at Indian religions is probably the largest in wikipedia, but I sincerely request your assistance in countering repeat reverts of AnishShah19 who claims that Jainism stretched back to the Indus Valley civilization. He concludes that the Vedic tradition was parallel to Jainism and sramana.

Just browse through the page in 10 minutes you'll get his line of discussion (Harappan rishabha seals, naked munis described in Vedas and the standing posture of some Indus valley seals ). I'm in dire need of support from co-religionists too (he too is one, but astray). Indian_Air_Force (IAF) (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
