User talk:A Ramachandran

There is no spoon. My responses may seem surreal to some. This place is very enigmatic to me. Like those things that sleep furiously, whatever they were. Oh yeah, now I remember, they were colorless green ideas ...

"Bold what admin said"

Thanks, but I'm not an admin. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 00:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

NOS

Thanks for pointing out the 5th entry. I overlooked it, but now I see why: it leads in several directions none of which are the one it should: to an article named NOS (CDC operating system). — EncMstr 00:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Request

My I draw your attention on the discussion on inclusion of the diamond-cutter.org ling on the Michael Roach article? I am not sure if user:Ekajati who rejects it is still neutral. See also the past discussion of it. Thanks. Maybe we ask two Admins for help as well. --Kt66 09:34, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

JBC and ISBNs

Hi! I'd like to point out that as of Jan 1 2007, ISBNs are now 13 digits instead of 10, which is why I put those in the JBC article. You can read more at International Standard Book Number and on the Library of Congress website. The ISBNs I found are from Amazon.com - here and here. I'm not an expert on either JBC or on the reliability of Amazon, but those looked valid to me. As for the "eds" part of the Inge book, your change looks right to me. You can find out more about the template at Template:Cite book. And by the way - thanks for all the work you've done on that article! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot

Thank you for your reply. I will ask the notice board and will ask them for advice. --Kt66 20:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Mantra

The symbol Aum in the Tamil script

Hi Ramachandran. Let me assure you that my tags on mantra has little to do with WP:POINT. That paragraph is sourced from an article written by a Nitin Kumar, an employee of Exotic India [1], a company that sell Aum motifs. This original research seems to be intended only as a promotion of their product, and is not supported by any kind of scholarship. Please see on your left the Tamil version of the syllable Aum. If the Devanagari symbol, which clearly comes from merging the devanagari "अ" (A) "ऊ" (U) and "ँ" (M), and not created by joining semicircles and dots symbolizing various things, is the Tamil symbol inferior in some way? What about the Gurumukhi, Tibetan and Chinese symbols of Aum? The Exotic India Store website is not a reliable source of information, and this was my reason for adding the tags.
