Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi Arunvarmaother, welcome to wikipedia and happy editing. Your contributions to Kochi page are noted, and you have done a good job. I have reverted some of your edits because of the following reasons:

• Kochi page is a stabilized version which was once a featured article in Wiki. Including so many minute details in the article will increase the length of the article. Also it deviate from the intention of the article, i.e, to provide information in a high level and comprehensive. For more details, we are adding sub topics. For eg; Transport in Kochi.
• The detailed information should be added in the sub topics and not in the main article
• This article primarily covers city of Kochi, and for the greater UA we have Kochi Metropolitan area.
• Frequent changes and reverts in the article will lead to diminished authenticity.
• Please remember not to user peacock words to glorify or de-glorify the contents in the article. Such words may be challenged and removed. Also try to add valid citations for information.

Please leave a message in my talk page for any assistance. I will be happy to do that. Since the Kochi main page is now in a very stabilized version, please concentrate on sub articles. Thank you for your good work and happy editing again. --Samaleks (talk) 12:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Dear Arun, You stated that Kochi article lost its FA status due to vested interests. Can you please explain? What are those "vested interests"? Who ? and Why? The article lost its FA status because of overtoning the article. You can check the FA review comments for Kochi by fellow wikipedians. Since you are new to wiki, it may take some time to adjust with the "way of things" here. Please leave me a note, and I would be glad to assist. The transport related matters can be moved to the article : Transport in Kochi. In the article it is not stated that there are no KSRTC / JNNURM buses. It is stated that the public largely depends on Private buses, which is true till date. The details like how many JNNURM buses operates is not needed in the section. I will not argue with you, I am afraid that it is a wrong prejuidice from your side. The industries like FACT can be added in the article. Oneliners about FACT and Vallarpadam are there in the article. A full fledged detailing about those industries can be given in the sub article; and not in the main article. I appreciate that you wants the article to achieve FA status again. For that, you need to construct in a neutral manner and reaching consensus with other editors. Hope you understand. Thank you very much. --Samaleks (talk) 17:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC) Note: while replying, do not forget to put your signature after your edits in the talk page.

Fair use rationale for File:Chera Emblem.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Chera Emblem.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 03:08, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Sources for nicknames of Kochi

I have questions regarding two recent edits you made at Kochi:

• Why did you remove references from the infobox in relation to the nickname "Queen of the Arabian Sea" with this edit?

• The references were provided by Salih in response to my concern that the sobriquet of "Queen of the Arabian Sea" was unsourced. Although Salih has provided references again, I felt it was important to ask you why you removed them in the first place.

• Your recent edit to Kochi added this line: "[[Mahatma Gandhi]] used to refer the city as ''Epitome of Adventure''<ref>http://expressbuzz.com/Cities/Kochi/kochi-from-a-vantage-point/149015.html</ref>" with the edit summary as "Information is now sourced and has verifiable reference".

• This is actually a very weak reference - citing a newspaper/blog review of a book by "Tanya Abraham" with a claim that MK Gandhi said/used these specific words in reference to Cochin. A cursory search of Google books turns up three possibilities, two of which contain the sentence "The sea is an epitome of adventures" whilst a copy of Gandhi's works on a wiki at IIIT-Hyderabad says that Gandhi addressed a meeting in Cochin in 1925 and said: "Living on the seaside you are aware of what adventure can do. The sea is an epitome of adventures." Is it possible that this statement by Gandhi has been misunderstood as saying that Cochin is "the epitome of adventure"? I have commented out the relevant statements and left a similar request for information on Talk:Kochi. Green Giant (talk) 02:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
