Indian articles

When you are tagging Indian articles, could you please be sure to use the right tags and mark the page as patrolled. Maybe you could also spend a moment to turn the Indian English into acceptable Western English for encyclopedic use. I find myself doing more and more of this but I have nothng to do with Indian articles and it is not my speciality although I love the country and go there a lot :) --Kudpung (talk) 06:16, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Request

Hi, Can you help me with regard to National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management, Hyderabad. Can you advice me in making this article neutral.For your kind information, the info mentioned is factual and collected from the institute itself. Being a National Institute, I felt the necessity of creating space for such a pioneer organisation which started the Agri-business management education in India.

Curtis James

Quite right - I also failed to find any confirmation of anything but a non-notable high-school running career - all the rest seems to be fantasy. While I was looking into it, an IP removed your "hoax" tag, so I have taken it to AfD here. One of its editors promptly popped up to say, "why not just edit his page to be a High School athlete?"

Vettinjayathil family

Hi Utcursch,

I saw a deletion notice on this article which i have created.I couldn't find any online sources for this ,could you please help me in finding reliable sources ? Kiranchandranpowathil (talk) 08:27, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I couldn't find any family history on web.Normally there won't be any details on web about ancient families.I enquired the family members also to find out some books in which the family is mentioned.I haven't heard anything from them also yet.Once i get i would add it.Please let me know what should i do in this case. Kiranchandranpowathil (talk) 11:03, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, I came to know that it's being told about the Vettinjayathil family in the book Edappilly Kovilakam - Charithrathinte Naazhikakkallu (Saga of Edappilly), hence I added it as an offline reference to the article. Kiranchandranpowathil (talk) 12:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Saini

Dear Utcursch, I saw your concerns regarding Yadu/yaduvanshi/yadav. & also about Saini. For saini, kindly see some scholarly comment about them, [1], which says by their own account it is derived from persian rasaini, which means "skilled gardener", given by a Moslem Ruler. it has nothing to do with shoorsaini, or Yaduvanshi. Reputed Scholars like, Sir Bhandarkar, ghurye, Karmakar, Pusalkar, Chanda, Russel, Nesfield, Bhati and many other considers only Ahir/Yadav caste/Ayir and also to a limited extent Jadaun (whom scholars consider to be offshoot of yaduvanshi ahir) while talking about the topic yadav and descendants of Yadu. I would urge you to try to improve the Saini article which is full of POVs and tries to relate to shoorsainis of ancient scripture. Infact the region Mathura was called saursena and is named after king Madhu, about whom scriptures say had gifted the entire territory of Mathura to Abhira, as per Padma Purana. So, Please try to understand the issue. Feel free to talk to me if you need any clarification. Ikon ^No-Blast 18:21, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Nira Radia

Regarding this.

I didn't tag the article as unreferenced. The article has statements like "A small time executive of Sahara Airlines managed to climb through connections and networking from many people of South and North and East and West India. She was introduced to Tata by a southern businessman who is a close friend of Ratan Tata and close with DMK family."

Do you think the article doesn't need a cleanup? Cheers - Amog | ^{Talk • contribs} 17:30, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

On hindsight, perhaps the npov tag was a little excessive. - Amog | ^{Talk • contribs} 17:50, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
