Thank you to all who participated in my RFA- regardless of whether you supported or opposed, all feedback is important to me. I look forward to proving in the coming months that the trust placed in me by the community is not misplaced. |
- Thankyou for the wonderful RFA Thanks spam. Frankly I dont want to move this to my barnstars section , bcoz I am a bit embarrassed to add a barnster for my support at a RFA. I support / oppose / b neutral at RFAs on reviewing the merits and demerits of a candidate. Anyways congrats and Best of luck for the future and keep up the trust of the community. -- Tinu Cherian - 17:56, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Vakkom Moulavi
Hi. I'm having a look through it now. I've noted a few things which I hope you don't mind me mentioning, which may help improve the article (and future articles):
- Something I've noticed in both this and the newspaper articles, and something I'd be careful about using, are words and phrases such as "legendary", "fearless" and "freedom fighter" - these are (generally) opinions rather than facts and therefore could be seen as violating WP:NPOV. Whilst the phrase "freedom fighter" has a WP article of it's own, that article states that People who describe themselves (or are described by their supporters) as "freedom fighters" tend to be called assassins, rebels, or terrorists by others., so I've left the phrase in the Vakkom Moulavi article for the moment - you may want to have a think about whether it's appropriate. I know what you're trying to say, but beware of adverse inferences that can be drawn from its use.
- The article also refers to this person both as "Moulavi" and "Maulavi" - is this just a peculiarity of translating the name ? You may want to standardise the spelling in the article, and put an "also known as" type of comment at the start of the article. This also goes for the name of his son - the "Early life and family" section refers to him as "Abdul Kadar", but the article is about someone named "Abdul Khadir" - again, you may want to use one spelling.
- The "Early life and family" section definately needs references provided to back up your statements - I've tagged these where I think it's appropriate. This also applies to various comments in the "Social reformation" section.
- I've removed a large chunk of text from the "Journalism and Swadeshabhimani" section as this is just a duplication of what's in the newspaper article itself.
- Beware of just cutting and pasting large chunks of other articles - if a web site says 'xxxxxx was a superb leader', then it's inadvisable to just copy that into an article and state it as a fact - calling someone "superb" is still just the opinion of the author of the original article, and therefore still potentially violates WP:NPOV. It would be better to say something like "xxxxxx was called a superb leader", and then provide the references to support that claim.
- Not everyone (and that includes me) is aware of all of the details of Muslim rituals and life, so phrases such as ..celebration of annual "urs" and Moharrum with bizarre unIslamic features bordering on idolatrous rituals.. may need a little explanation - or at least provide some wikilinks to related articles which might explain what "Moharrum" are, or why "unIslamic features" might be considered idolatrous.
I hope this helps :-) CultureDrone (talk) 09:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
New York City
Hello, when you (crediting Twinkle) tried yesterday to undo a (harmless) link from mid-September by user:Sanketkawde that had in fact already been removed, you reverted the entire New York City article to its previous mid-September version, thus wiping out two months of work by many people. I've just spent an hour puzzling out and correcting what had happened (after spending over half an hour yesterday restoring one of the intermediate edits I had made). I think there must be something wrong with Twinkle, perhaps with its filtering, perhaps with what it's showing you, perhaps with how you're reading or using it, perhaps with how it interprets commands or requests. —— Shakescene (talk) 11:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. I have also just noticed that. All I was trying to remove links added by a spammer Sanketkawde (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) using Twinkle. I am trying to understand how it can be mended. All i did was to restore to just previous version for the spam edit and lo ! it did mess up. I have been using TW for some time now and also experienced in using it. I am tempted to use TW again to restore the version just before my reversion, but skeptic of messing it up again.A manual cleanup is more safe. I will work on those reverted pages tonight to clear the mess I did. May be should report the bug at TW but couldnt exactly tell the issue. Thanks for leaving a note here and I am extremely sorry for the inconvieance I have caused though unknowingly :( -- Tinu Cherian - 11:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I am busy fixing up the mess which I have created due to Special:Contributions/Sanketkawde now. Thanks a lot for the headsup -- Tinu Cherian - 11:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think you need to do anything more with New York City because I reverted to the version immediately before your edit and the Asian language links added after your edit must have been in previous versions (although a second or third review certainly would do no harm), and I sent a message about the subsequent population (hhh) edit to the editor involved (JKH...), so he can decide whether or how to restore it. (My own subsequent edit was just to restore what had been before, so nothing new was lost in the re-reversion.)
- It looks as if Twinkle can't work surgically to revert just one edit without reverting evertything that came afterwards, in this particular case, a couple of hundred edits. —— Shakescene (talk) 11:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I figured out what was the issue. I saw the spammer edits today and started reverting the pages one by one to the version just before the spammer edit on each article. I saw the initial edits have been dated today and assumed the spammer have done it all the changes today itself and hence there may not be any changes after his edit. My bad ! :( I noticed only the initial dates at Special:Contributions/Sanketkawde . I think I am seriously fatigued and I should keep away from laptop now. I have reverted all my edits to this case except New York City. You can TW restore to the version to my edit on that page also. Apologies for all the inconvenience due to me . Have a nice day -- Tinu Cherian - 11:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- I am busy fixing up the mess which I have created due to Special:Contributions/Sanketkawde now. Thanks a lot for the headsup -- Tinu Cherian - 11:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
I guess you have fixed the issue on New York City also by now. this is the version difference between the last edit before me and the cleanup by you. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 11:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
- That is in fact what I did, compare the last version at the time with the one just before your edit, and revert everything. The problem is what about edits that came after yours? The portal I just restored. The Asian language versions were added by a robot, but it probably (although I'm not absolutely certain) just restored versions that had been there before without adding new Wikipedias. My Sister Cities edit was a restoration to what had been before anyway, so it was included in the overall re-reversion. And the population change I'm leaving up to the editor involved, because I think he may need to find a reference or a new definition to back up his change. —— Shakescene (talk) 12:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Tinucherian, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) The Helpful One 22:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC) |

Anti-Christian violence in India - An extremist page
I have given valid reasons in the edit summary on why I've removed some of the sections from the page Anti-Christian violence in India. If you won't find the explanation convincing, please inform me. This page is an ongoing process by the Christian organizations supported activists to vindicate the name of Hinduism. Previously, articles pertaining to religious persecutions were general topics in Wikipedia. Now Indian Christian extremists segregated stories to each of the regions and organizing the pseudo-compassion drama. I don't know how much impact these changes had on you personally. For your kind information - there are a lot of Hindu persecution stories from the North Eastern parts like Nagaland, Mizoram etc and Christian brutality is not forgotten in the state of Goa and other parts of the world; especially in South America. Hindus are so neutral that they won't spend time in classifying and exaggerating mere discriminative stories. I know that you may have explanations to counter my views. Please try to remove your prejudices and analyze each issue as a human being. Thank you - User talk:Arunpnair —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC).

Rahul Raj encounter

- Thanks a lot for the Barnster. This effort apparently gave me lots of satisfaction and I dedicate this Barnster to another good user Gppande (talk · contribs). I came to know about this AFD and the article Rahul Raj when I saw Gppande was blocked for alledged sockpuppetry. With the past interactions and knowing the contributions of Gppande, I wasnt willing to believe why the hell would he ever use a sock Kokar (talk · contribs). First of all, it wasnt the article of Gppande and he had not reason or sentiments to try to save it like this. Secondly , as far as I seen, a sock master votes first and the sock only later, which is not the case her. Thirdly I too edit WP a lot for a shared company networks and i fear to think possibly how many disruptive editors are there in the same networks I use. Gppande was blocked by User:Yellowmonkey, another wiki friend. That is why I left him a msg at User_talk:YellowMonkey#Gppande_block to kindly review the 2 day block ( see also User_talk:Gppande#Kokur ). On inspection of Rahul Raj, it may be a BIO violation but I personally felt the incident as such was worth being in Wiki. That is why I copy-edited Rahul Raj encounter and supported keep in the AFD. Your uploaded image was actually a copy viol picture , that is why I had to request it for Speedy deletion. I also nominated the article for WP:DYK and it was successfully shown in the mainpage as a DYK entry on 1 December 2008 . The AFD was also closed to keep. Through this humble effort of mine, I also request Gppande to dont lose heart , reconsider his decision to leave Wikipedia and to continue his good contributions. -- Tinu Cherian - 05:52, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Tinucherian, thanks a lot for understanding and supporting me through this time. Your words of encouragement have helped me a lot. I have become a victim of WP:COWORKER and learned an important lesson from it. Never, edit WP or any other finance related websites like banks, shares or politically sensitive websites from network which might be used by others. Innocent users can become easy targets - either by accident or by some miscreants. I am not leaving WP or can never do so. My first comment to quit had come out of anger - a knee jerk reaction; sorry for that. Also, I tried to trace Kokar within my organization but have not been able to so due to real life hurdles. I also learned from WP policy that revealing someones identity to prove a point is violation. I do not wish to get into another trouble so I have left it as it is. If Kokar returns, time will prove we are two separate brains. I appreciate your work in saving the Rahul Raj encounter article and even get it promoted to DYK. Something to learn here. Instead of votes, if we think that the article deserves to be on WP, save the article by improving it with as many reliable refs/contents and notable incidents as possible. The day before I was blocked, I did the same with Gothos article and even though I was blocked the AfD resulted in speedy keep. So it does not matter what your vote is. All that matters is your work and contribution to the project. I would definitely continue my contributions but with care and caution from where I am doing so. It is important to protect ourselves first. --GPPande talk! 08:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- You have no idea how happy I am to see you back ! Thanks a lot for your kind words,I am humbled. You are absolutely right ! As a wikipedian it is imperative for us to try to save good articles by fixing the issues than merely voting as keep.Please understand that your block was probably an unintentional mistake by YM and it was due to merely coincidental evidences and limited tools available and not a bad report for your contributions to WP. Continue to enjoy your stay in WP and keep up your good contributions. Best wishes -- Tinu Cherian - 09:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello!!
Hello Tinu,
I am a resident of Chandanapally. The article posted as 'Chandanapally', is not inappropriate! If you check the history of that article, you can see that we created it in 2006. Unfortunately, we didn't have any more informations/photos regarding the church for such a long time. Last month when we had been to India, we could take some snaps and will update it in the article as soon as possible.
Our aim is to make a true exposure to the 'Chandanapally Valiyapally's fame. We saw your article 'St. George Orthodox church' and we appreciate the great effort what you have done. We have taken some detail from your article and posted it in our 'Chandanapally Valiyapally' article. We have also referenced it in our article!
Please understand that we are not posting any inappropriate contents in it, but making 'Chandanapally' searchable in the internet!So I would request you not to revert or redirect to any other articles as we are going to include some more details and snaps.
Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.
