India

Thanks. I actually did not know that there was an Europa version. Otherwise, i would not have added a pic of Nano Europa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikkul (talk • contribs)

Thanks

Thanks for taking care of User Rhp 26 and his many socks, and especially with the sock investigation too. It seems though that he can't draw himself away just as yet. He's not done anything objectionable yet, but he is editing, even though that IP range was blocked. See: here. Not sure if there's any need to do anything just as yet, but its just something I noticed. Thanks again. Jasepl (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

The IP rangeblock expired a few hours back, but if he resumes his tendentious behavior just let me know and I'll reinstate it. Abecedare (talk) 17:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I agree it's best to leave things be, unless he starts something again. Thanks, Jasepl (talk) 17:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Help!

There seems to be a problem with disruptive editing on Akbar the Great (revision history, discussion) - repeated removal of properly referenced information on the ground of the changes being too drastic (!!!). Could you please help out? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 12:32, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I have responded on the talk page. I am hopeful that this can be resolved through talk-page discussion. I don't presently have the time to contribute content to the article at present, but will keep an eye on the discussion. Good to see the article receive some attention! Abecedare (talk) 14:35, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - I have responded to the said editor's objections as well, and I too hope the dispute can be resolved through discussion on the talk page. By the way, I also came across this, which I found quite interesting in the context of the present objections :-| Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 15:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I saw that too. This edit is particularly ironic, but I didn't bring it up on the article talk page to avoid personalizing the debate. Best to simply focus on the content issue. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 15:13, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Could you please take a look at this and clarify whether I've interpreted policy correctly? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 10:15, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

The situation seems to have deteriorated. Could you please step in? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 18:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I just left a message on the editors' talk page. I have also requested User:Fowler&fowler, who in my experience has good judgment about history sources, to provide input.

Besides that, I think Redtigerxyz's advice to split the discussion into separate modular sections is useful. That way, uninvolved editors who enter the debate later will be able to follow the discussion and contribute to it. Abecedare (talk) 18:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Request to not threaten

I am surprised to being called disruptive when all I have requested SBC to develop a consensus and not confuse the article. I hope you would not threaten me again. Thanks. More random musing (talk) 15:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Replied on user's talk page. Abecedare (talk) 15:47, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

"Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing". It would have been more fair if you had told SBC and D'Souza the same thing. But thanks for clarifying. More random musing (talk) 18:06, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

You are being very one sided in your analysis and repeatedly calling me disruptive is borderline threatening because you are an administrator and seem to be a friend of SBC. It would help if you were to follow the discussion on the talk page and be impartial to your friends and people you do not know. Thanks. More random musing (talk) 18:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

There are whole bunch of edits that redtiger and others have made where they have, without any discussion, removed referenced material. Have you warned them for being disruptive or are just singling me out? Please request SBC to edit sections on which we have built consensus. Unilateral disruptive warnings are not in the spirit of wikipedia. More random musing (talk) 19:12, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Are you fair?

"I haven't taken any sides in the content discussion ": Have you warned any other editor when they have removed referenced material without developing any consensus on the talk page? You are just singling me out for warnings. This is harrassment. Please be fair and consistent. Thanks. More random musing (talk) 19:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll reply on your talk page. lets keep the discussion in one place. Abecedare (talk) 19:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

The Revenge

Hi, I took care of your comments at the "The Revenge" FAC. Please take another look.--Music26/11 22:31, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll take a look over the next day. Abecedare (talk) 11:09, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, it's been a while, and I haven't seen any reply.--Music26/11 20:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Will be right there. Abecedare (talk) 20:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Replied again, nothing much. If you can find some sources quickly it would be great, you can email them to "pietjepuk93@live.nl".--Music26/11 12:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Tamil people

Can you take a look at this edit. I reverted an unreferenced edit once, and the user and I had a discussion when I said anything should be referenced. He added a reference to this but nothing in the statement is supported by the ref, it's pure synthesis IMO, but I'd like another opinion. I haven't found any other reference to it, and the Tamil bell article doesn't support the add either. The editor is Tamil centric, but doesn't conform to Maleabroad behavior. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 20:04, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The Te Ara seems to support a weaker form of the statement being added, but since the sea-faring is not discussed in the article, this doesn't belong in the lede. The second citation Lowie, Robert H. (1934). "American Anthropologist". Berkeley: University of California: 322. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help), which I think is to a journal article, is incomplete since the article name, and authors, volume and issue number etc are missing.

I think that, instead of worrying about removing the addition immediately, it would be better to ask User:Misssss for complete citation, and ask knowledgeable editors like (Arvind, Ravichandar84) etc, whether the seafaring is something notable enough to add a subsection in the article, or if its just trivia that can be mentioned in a single sentence somewhere in the body of the article. Abecedare (talk) 20:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Will check with them. Arvind has been inactive for a bit, so he may not respond soon. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 00:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm actually subscribed to my talk page's RSS feed, so I should usually respond within a couple of days. Just an aside by way of information. -- Arvind (talk) 22:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Kanhopatra

I could not find any free images of Kanhopatra, is there a place on wikipedia where an image can be created by Inkspace or sketched by hand - on request. I have copyrighted images of Kanhopatra - which can be redrawn by someone based on the original images.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 09:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I had once used Wikipedia:Graphic Lab to help remove watermark from an image; you can ask there and see if someone is game for it. You can also ask User:Planemad - he is responsible for many of the WPINDIA SVG maps, and may either be up for this, or know someone who could help. Keep in mind derivative work issues, when deciding how close the new copy should be. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 10:53, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Wendy Doniger

Hello, I saw your comments at User_talk:Goethean#Userpage and you have mentioned here about mediation and RFC. However I have reported the problem at admin's noticeboard, should I also take the issue here? Rgrds, Spdiffy (talk) 05:56, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
