re:Ravi Belagere

In my experience, it is typical for such tags to only remain for a couple of hours. But in truth, the tag isn't really that useful for articles that aren't high traffic (articles are likely to be high traffic if they have a lot of pages that link to them, if they are linked to from high traffic pages, or the subject of the article has been in the news a lot) or for articles that aren't more than a couple paragraphs long (because the smaller an article is, the easier it is to expand it, as there is less text already there to fit your expansion into.)

This isn't to say tags aren't useful; if you want to do some expansion on, say, Sri Lanka or spaghetti, such tags are very useful. But there isn't that much need for them on small articles, non-high traffic articles. Also, other editors who don't know what your plans are (like me, in this case), are likely to remove the tags because it doesn't look like such expansion is in the midst of happening. You can insert a hidden message in the article by putting it in brackets like <!-- these -->; in this case, it might be useful to use those hidden message brackets to make note of how long you intend for the template to stay. You can also use the talk page make note of pending expansions, and how long they will take. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Picaroon9288 00:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Three-Revert Rule

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

Hampi Utsava 2006

Karnataka is abode of its rich art, culuture and heritage. The Government of Karnataka has adopted a tradition of celebrating 'Nada Utsava' throughout the state, in order to rejuvenate and promote this rich culture and heritage and to inculcate the spirit and joyous feelings and respect about our heritage among the common man.

The monuments of Hampi are the replica of the then political, cultural, religious and social events of thrilling nature. The purpose of celebrating 'Hampi Utsav 2006' is to recollect and represent the the glorious rule of Vijayanagara Empire. The organisation of this Utsava besides providing the experience of rich cultural heritage of the region and the nation at large, also aims to provide joyous moments to the common man in the midst of pains and pleasure of his daily routine life.

Hampi Utsava dates - Nov 3 - Nov 5 Gnanapiti 04:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Chalukya

Gnanapiti, the article has been accepted as a FA. I would like to thank you for your efforts in making this happen as a team.Dineshkannambadi 16:08, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cpedit

Hi. Thanks for starting on this. Just one thing I wanted to point out (from the Chalukya page FA review experience) is that FA reviewers may not like repeated wikilinking of the same word (for example Veera Ballala II). I had to removed a whole lot of links that were repetitive.Dineshkannambadi 02:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

linking

I think many of your links are good. Like linking Tamil to Tamilkam at times etc. Also, there is no need to use the "CE" (common era) every where. People understand from the first lines of the article that we are discussing about CE not BCE as this is clearl mentioned there.Thanks for your effort. Focus equally on any grammatical mistakes, typos from my side.ThanksDineshkannambadi 02:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On Yakshagana

Appologies for the mispelling. I was going off how it was spelled on the book I used. Also, you are right, the first site on yakshagana is superb. I really like it. Had I known that there is already a writeup on this, I would not have created the second yaksagana. Regards.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:PTejaswi.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:PTejaswi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Dravidian Wiki Project

Hello Gnanapiti,

I have visited the Dravidian people page and have to say, it is in a very sad state. For one, the page does not talk about the ethnicities and cultural heritiage of the Dravidian family group. Instead, it seems like it is discredits the Dravidian people and their existence.

Already, there is not much on wikipedia which goes into detail of Dravidian topics. So, I have come up with an idea. That is to form a Dravidian Wiki Project. The purpose of this project is to cover most every aspect of Dravidians in dance, literature, language, architecture, and more. This project will represent Kannadigas, Telugus, Tamils, and Malayalis. Also, Dravidian Wiki Project will also have wiki pages on other Dravidians outside of India like the Brahui of Pakistan, and the Malto of Bangladesh. I see you have an interest in Kannadiga culture and I would really like for you to be part of this team. Much Regards.

Wiki Raja 10:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again and thanks for the relpy.
By the way WikiProject Dravidian Civilizations is in the process of getting off the ground. We must work together to promote the different civilizations belonging to the Dravidian family of ethnicities and languages in South Asia. This could be a start to get our cultures known to the outside world since not much has been done in the past to promote them. Also, please take the liberty of joining our group at:

You have cited my source and undone my revert, without comment? Was this intentional? Regards Fred 04:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Chittani Dancing.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Chittani Dancing.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:05, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

RE:Carnatic Music

Hi,

I just wanted to explain that I was just editing that page (not deleting anything), but to add a little extra info on the originations of Hindustani and Carnatic music. I understand that anyone can sing Carnatic or Hindustani music, and especially in Karnataka and Andra Pradesh since both states are right next to Maharastra and other North Indian states. But, since you reverted it back to it's original state, I will leave it alone. : ) Wiki Raja 06:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing new has been added so far. When other people go out of their way to respect your culture, it is good to show gratitude. Even if they are Tamils. Wiki Raja 15:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi watch out for wiki raja and venu62. They are real assholes and extreme POV pushers. They want to tag all south Indian topics with the Dravidian template without regard to rhyme or reason and without even looking at linguistic origins. 59.92.32.86 21:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
