Theodore Jenson and Ramaswamy Naidu

Theodore Jenson did not coach Ravi varma to Paint. In fact when requested then by the King Ayilyam Thirunal, he politely refused to transfer his trade secrets. But to Ravi varma's fortune Jenson allowed him to watch him paint and mix colours....In fact Arumugham Pillai, a Disciple of the court painter Ramaswamy Naidu, coached ravi varma in the nights without the consent of his guru( In fact Rama swamy Naidu refused to teach Raja Ravi Varma).... Ref in a book in Malayalam published by Government of Kerala, (ravi varmayum Chithrakalayum by, Kilimanur Chandran).activevoid (talk) 11:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

not appropriate for Wikipedia

?? I have read this article and I wonder why 'This article's tone or style may not be appropriate for Wikipedia...'. I think that either I don't understand English enough (it is really possible) or I suspect that other cultures and religions are not appropriate for Wikipedia??:) (sorry for a bit of irony). It's a pity that I don't see in discussion any reference to this strange (for me) notice? Could anybody explain it to me? Mcirek (talk) 20:54, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Tone" and "style" refer to the way the article is written, not the content of the article. I don't know what the specific issues were with this article at the time the notice was added, but usually it means that the article has been written in informal English, when an encyclopedia calls for more formal English. Articles on all cultures and religions are welcome (and indeed, Wikipedia would be badly incomplete without them); those articles must be written in the style of an encyclopedia.
