Mansoor Ahamed Khan
Dear Saleh, Mansoor Ahamed Khan ia an article about an architect who is playing a key role in providing one of the basic needs of mankind. He is one of the few architects from coimbatore, India getting recognized because of his innovative designs in architecture. He also won a National award for his futuristic proposal and his science museum project was nominated for an international award at florence. So please consider this article. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makinnovations (talk • contribs) 14:12, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Thekkepuram
Hi Salih, you seem to be a person who could improve Thekkepuram and Mishkal Mosque. Could you please look for some pictures of the mosque which can be used? Cheers Zencv Whisper 22:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- It’s great that you've created the article on Mishkal Mosque. Thanks Zencv. As for the pictures, there are few in the web, but I am not sure about the copyrights. Anyway, when I visit Calicut next time, surely I’ll take some snaps myself. Cheers. Salih (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I saw many images of Mishkal mosque, but not sure whether any of them would be acceptable under fair use. I see good potential for expansion of Thekkepuram article(esp. cuisine section and history section) as they are rather underdeveloped. Cheers Zencv Whisper 22:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's the problem with images. Agree that Thekkepuram article has lot of scope for furhter expansion. Will work on it some time later. Thanks. Salih (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Orifice plate
Hi Salih, I've just noticed, that you undid my external links in Orifice plate and Kármán vortex street because of spam. Before we end up of philosophizing on which is spam and which is not I'd like to ask you to have a look at the discussions on User talk:XLinkBot I have allready undergone. Bud once again my understanding of a global encyclopedia for everybody is that it shouldn't be limited to a academical collection of formulas. When there is a chance of having the theory explained in a admittedly simplified, but more visual way we should definitely make use of it. This is my intention (next to the fact, that I'm very fond of good 3D animations) and not spamming. I hope this clears up the sky a little bit. I wish you a nice day. --Ursus.Bear (talk) 09:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- I saw the video clips on the YouTube before undoing your edits. Though the video was interesting, I thought it was promoting a company/organization. If you have added those links in good faith, please feel free to revert my edits. Cheers. Salih (talk) 09:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Is this novelist notable? Thanks in advance. Paalappoo (talk) 05:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- He is a well known novelist, but in Wikipedia sense, the notability is rather weak for the lack of sufficient RS. I have !voted a weak keep in the AfD. Cheers! Salih (talk) 05:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I started this article as a sort of experiment related to the Joy J. Kaimaparamban AfD discussion. I picked Kainikkara Padmanabha Pillai at random from the list of authors published by DC Books, which did not have an entry for Joy J. Kaimaparamban although the article says DC Books published his works. I wanted to see whether, as I suspected, it would be easy enough to find sources on a published Malayalam author. It was. The article on his brother Kainikkara Kumara Pillai followed naturally. I will try a third, then go back to the AfD and comment there. Not seeing it very positively at this stage. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
- That's wonderful, at least, AfD of Joy J. Kaimaparamban has yielded two good articles! Cheers. Salih (talk) 18:57, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Please except my sincere thanks Salih. I guess its just because of your's, User:NinetyNineFennelSeeds's, User: Whpq's and User:Tv-med's help and effort, my created article could withstand baseless accusations and could make its place in wikipedia and suprisingly I wasn't here when it all happened.

Verification
Hi, I wanted to ask regarding the 'orphan' tag in article S P Vaid. It transparently states that "This biography of a living person needs additional references or sources for verification", but if you look at the article, almost 18 references have been provided as such which clearly verify and confirm the facts provided. I just wanted to ask, whether what I am saying is right? and should I go ahead and remove the tag or is there anything else that I should know? Kindly help. Regards, *Truth* 11:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by JK-RULZ (talk • contribs)
- And yes, the article is already mentioned to be a stub in the end (of the article), so is the 'orphan' tag still required? *Truth* 11:39, 3 January 2010 (UTC) JK-RULZ (talk • contribs)
- The article is currently tagged for {{orphan}} and {{refimproveBLP}}. I don't see any problem in removing "refimproveBLP" tag as the sourcing seems to be quite adequate. An article is tagged for "orphan" if there is no other Wikipedia article is linked to it. Currently, there are two articles, namely List of people from Jammu and Kashmir and Dogra are linked to it. So, it is not exactly an orphan and this tag can also be removed as well. Salih (talk) 15:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, I think I'll go ahead, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JK-RULZ (talk • contribs) 18:02, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Telugu
Hello Salih, I wanted to know if you have checked out the site linked to which you removed. It provides a genuinely useful service that is not found elsewhere on the web for understanding Telugu dictionary content in one's own script. Several readers who speak telugu but do not understand the script themselves have mentioned that it is useful to them, for example. I went through adding it to pages where it would be relevant. Is expected that an editor ask on a talk page before adding a link. If this is the case I'll ask first in the future. Mntr (talk) 05:57, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Putting the same external links to a large group of articles by a single editor is generally an indication of spam. Please see the relevant guideline WP:EL. Salih (talk) 07:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Kerala Congress
Hi. I noticed your edit at Kerala Congress (Joseph). However, it's a bit forkish to have both Kerala Congress and Kerala Congress (Joseph) articles. KC(Joseph) is recognized by ECI as 'Kerala Congress', and preferably we should retain the ECI names for articles Indian political parties, otherwise we'll open a Pandora's Box of naming battles. --Soman (talk) 13:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- There is no Kerala Congress party in Kerala now. The parent party had split and became independent parties like Kerala Congress (Mani), Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai), Kerala Congress (Jacob), and Kerala Congress (Joseph). All these these parties having separate election symbols. If you think that this amounts to content fork, then we will have to consider all these parties together. Salih (talk) 13:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm aware of the (many) splits of the party. However, one of them has been recognized as the original faction (i.e. the Joseph group). --Soman (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, so what shall we do? Salih (talk) 15:14, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Muthoot Family Category
I do not see a reason why the Family should not by put in the category of Indian Families. Since the Muthoot Group owned by the family has an international presence in over 3 continents and is also having presence in over 22 states of India with more than 1500 branches, plus several business interests outside the state of Kerala (e.g. Chennai Live 104.8 FM in Tamil Nadu, 2000 Acres of Rubber plantations in Maharashtra, St. George's High School in New Delhi and others), I believe that the group deserves to be put in a category that gives justice to their truly pan Indian existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eapenalexander (talk • contribs) 08:47, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Jyoti Basu
Perhaps you can suggest how the facts can be presented in Jyoti Basu page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notacommunist (talk • contribs) 17:35, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- The first thing is that the source does not name Jyoti Basu. The second is this statement does not belong to the lead section, see WP:UNDUE. Salih (talk) 17:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Jyoti Basu was the leader of the alliance which was (is still) in power. There was industrial decline under his leadership. Do you disagree? The references clearly point to the state of West Bengal under his leadership. I'd appreciate you not reverting the edits on political pretexts. Notacommunist (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- I suggest you include the material only after a consensus is reached in the talk page of the article, because many editors disagreed with the inclusion of the material. Salih (talk) 17:51, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Many editors? Okay, please do not revert the changes until a consensus is reached. As a political leader, both successes and failures has to be presented. This is not a communist forum. We'd like to spread information in all its fairness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notacommunist (talk • contribs) 17:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yes many editors; previously an IP was trying to push this material into the article and was promptly reverted. I have no comments about my political stance. Also, your name suggests that you have come here with an agenda. Salih (talk) 18:02, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

The User talk:Rivatphil seems to have the habit of inserting a lot of false information into articles repeatedly. He usually edits political party articles and inserts stuff into them. But I see he has also created a number of Kerala village stubs [1]. Given the user's history in making up things, can you please check if the villages exist?. Thanks --Sodabottle (talk) 04:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

- I have gone through those village articles he has recently created; they exist, but the problem is they are all one liners and that too without any sources. Salih (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
You tagged the above article as an unreferenced BLP.
Firstly, as the article clearly shows, he is dead - BLPs are Biographies of Living People. Secondly, although it was listed as an external link, there was a reference (about his death).
Please try to be more careful when tagging an article as unreferenced, especially if you tag it as a BLP which is unreferenced! If there are sources listed in external links, then use {{nofootnotes}}. If there are no references (including external links) and it is not a living person, use {{unreferenced}}.
Ideally, if there is an external link like this one, it should be converted to a reference, as I did on the above article.

Hi Salih,
Soni007 tried to include a link to Silvester on Finite Elements page you lately deleted for unfitness. I tried to place it anew, hopefully in a more suitable way.
We think a link to the man who introduced FEM to elecromagnetism is necessary in the history page, if you think it is still unfit where I placed it plese contact me so that we can find a solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by S68 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Fluid dynamics page
(reply from User_talk:Zaphraud#Restoration_of_an_image_in_fluid_dynamics
- Actually, compressibility of gas is of great concern when that gas is being drawn through a liquid; the weight of the liquid (rather than the effects of speed) act to compress the gas; as the bubbles travel upward, they expand. Again, I assert that this is of importance at least in the petroleum industry (as well as several other industries, I would assume) and I desire that someone replace the image with an image that demonstrates this principle visually rather than simply erasing it. I have also brought this request up on the talk page (but I was on the complex's open internet and a laptop rather than on my PC, so it shows as an IP address).Zaphraud (talk) 23:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- The problem is that the section on "Compressible vs incompressible flow" is not about the compressibility of gas but is about the compressible flows. That is why I said the image is not appropriate in that section. Salih (talk) 05:46, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

referred form of the Navier–Stokes equations
Hi Salih, I put the Navier–Stokes equations back into the form corresponding with the associated reference to Batchelor; not because it was in itself wrong. During the last year, the given form evolved into a form deviating from the associated reference, without adjusting the reference. People do not seem to apprehend that for a material fluid element is a nice momentum conservation form. Best regards, Crowsnest (talk) 20:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's fine. I feel there is still mistake in the way the body force has been defined. I will consult Batchelor and see what he says. Thanks. Salih (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Nikita heathfield speedy declined
It would probably be better to read critically and search google before tagging as a hoax or vandalism. Potential sourcing exists so PROD or AFD would probably be the way to go after first performing WP:BEFORE. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- I applied the speedy hoax criterion mainly becuase of the statement "She started ice skating when she was seven years old and has millions of medals mostly gold or silver and has featured in many shows with the isle of wight ice dance...". Salih (talk) 14:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- There's a difference between childish hyperbole and trying to perpetuate a hoax. She in fact looks to have started skating at an early age and looks to have won enough awards to assert significance. A Google search would have shown this. While an A7 CSD tag might have been sustainable, clearly a vandalism warning was not. As it could be argued that asserts significance, a PROD or {{{notability}}} tag would have been better. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
- My fault. I didn't realize that the article creator was a child! Agree that CSD A7 would have been more appropriate criterion after removing the "millions of medals" piece. Anyway, you've now PRDDed it. Thanks. Salih (talk) 15:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Kozhikode Cleanup
Hi, you have recommended cleanup of the History section of Kozhikode. Can u please suggest some specific issues that I can correct? Also, pls advise on how to enhance the status of the article from the present START level. thanking you.
Choosetocount (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Clean up is basically required in the "history section" of the article. It has become bloated up over a period of time and is disproportionately lengthy compared to other sections. I think, we need to trim it by purging all the irrelevant material. Please see the other article on cities like Chennai, New Delhi, and Kochi. I think it's a good idea to start a new article on "history of Kozhikode" and discuss the history part exhaustively; we only need to move the relevant content from history section in Kozhikode article to the new article. Once the cleanup work has been done we can go for a GA review if possible. Regards. Salih (talk) 13:31, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Just to let you know that i have applied for range block again at ANI to block our friend the date change vandal.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:26, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Update- his ip range is now blocked for three months. We can rest easy till September 12.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:48, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Our friend is not just an innocuous date change vandal; see what he has done here to Arvind Swamy. Thanks for filing ANI to get him blocked. Salih (talk) 05:47, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thats serious BLP violation! thankfully he is out of action for 3 months.--Sodabottle (talk) 08:20, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:50, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, for granting me the reviewer right. Salih (talk) 08:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Move Opinion
Hei, i guess that since you edit a lot of film related articles that you will be familiar with the naming conventions. I just feel that that the title of "Prithviraj Sukumaran" is inappropriate as he is known simply as "Prithviraj", so i am thinking that a title of the form "Prithviraj<space>(<something>)" is more apt. My move to that format was twice reverted (First i moved it to "Prithviraj (actor)" and then "Prithviraj (Malayalam actor)"). Now, i am looking for some opinion from ppl experienced in this genre as cant really come up with a decision after going through WP:NAMING. Yours will be very helpful.
NB:Pls be advised that a thread has been started by the reverter at the talk page
Thanks Arjuncodename024 17:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Arjun, Ideally, Prithviraj should have been the title of the article, but there are other notable people with Prithviraj as their first name. The next option would be to either go for "Prithviraj (actor)" or "Prithviraj Sukumaran". I prefer the latter, because it identifies the person uniquely without a tail. Thanks. Salih (talk) 03:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ofcourse, the latter looks pretty. Do we, in wikipedia consider only the non-parenthesized part to resolve questions over brevity? If so, the question would be: which;s better "Prithviraj" or "Prithviraj Sukumaran" ; and since "Prithviraj" aint available, we would add a pair of brackets. thoughts?

Pure original research? Firstly, it's a logic puzzle which is either correct or not - the normal rules about published references certainly don't apply! Secondly, did you even bother to search the web to see whether your hasty summary was justified? Thirdly, are you sure that you are the right person to be tagging pages such as this one? Come on, get real!! Androstachys (talk) 13:13, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- I did search the net and could not find anything with the title "String girdling Earth". If you can provide at least one reliable source, I myself will remove the PROD tag. Thank you. Salih (talk) 13:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Salih, I found and applied a good source. Of course it's not a logic or logical puzzle, but it is certainly very well known and by no means WP:OR. So I think the tag can be removed unless you already took care of it. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 13:58, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's nice to find a source for this interesting puzzle! The tag has already been removed by the article creator, Androstachys. Thanks for the information. Salih (talk) 14:05, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Salih, Hello.I hope it is OK to write - but you suggested a willingness to change your vote. I have added a ref - for Prof Mathew which might allow him to pass Wp:Prof #6. It is not much I know - but I hope it might be just enough. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 12:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC))
- Thanks for the information. The source you found clearly establishes the notability, but it's sufficient only to leave a stub about the subject as other material in the article is still unverifiable. So, I have changed my !vote to weak keep. Cheers. Salih (talk) 12:57, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not interfering with your tagging - just making double sure it gets deleted ;) --Kudpung (talk) 09:33, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- OK, next time I'll follow your advice! Salih (talk) 09:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- If you think something can be deleted under several criteria, you can use this tag, for example {{Db-multiple|G11|A7}}, but you will need to enter the correct numbers, and put the warning manually on the creator's page.--Kudpung (talk) 09:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I had checked the way you multiply tagged James Anderson (Plymouth), a very handy template indeed. Thank you for the information. Salih (talk) 12:40, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Template:Sfdnotify1 Grutness...wha? 00:30, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
I agree that the article Raghupati Raghava Rajaram should be deleted, specially as it does not have the coverage to merit being one of those rare exceptions to WP:NFF. However, as it is one in a series of recent problems for director Shaji Kailas, I went ahead and added one sourced sentence to Shaji Kailas#2000-Present, mentioning Raghupati Raghava Rajaram in context to his other recent setbacks as a director.[2] Might you agree that after deletion, and as readers might still search for the cancelled film by name, that a redirect to the director's section will serve? I also believe a redirect will help prevent an inappropriate recreation of this article. --Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's fine, I agree with you to redirect to Shaji Kailas, after deleting the present article. Salih (talk) 04:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment at the AFD. Much appreciated. No sense for the information to exist anywhere but in a contextual sentence in the director's article. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
