Your edits at derivative
[edit]I reverted your changes at derivative as they were incorrect. It is not true that
- a function is differentiable at a point x if its derivative is continuous at x
Also, a function of many variables is not necessarily an implicit function.
One last thing: it is good if you take more care when you write things down, like a space after period, proper spelling, making variables italic: <math>x</math>, etc. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I am sure to differentiate a functiona x its derivative must be continuous.that is what the formal definition says doesn't it?a function is differentiable if and only if lim h->0 (f(x+h)-f(x))/h exists.well if the limit exists the derivative has to be continuous. —This unsigned comment was added by Akshaysrinivasan (talk • contribs) .
- That's not right. If the function is differentiable, it must be continuous, but not necessarily its derivative is continuous.
- I would also suggest some typographical tips. I noticed that when you write in articles sometimes you confuse the comma (,) and the period (.) and don't leave a space after a period. I suggest you use correct typography, so that articles look nice. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:00, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
I am not convinced what you've said is correct. If the function is differentiable the limit has to exist right? The limit itself is the derivative of the function,so if it has to exist it must be continuous at x. Let us take an example,consider the function:-
f(x)=|x|
Now If you plot the derivative of the |x| you will certainly find a discontinuity at x=0 where the function is not differentiable. Unless you give me an example to the contrary i shall not be convinced to think i am wrong.
- You are just saying that is continuous at , but that is not the same as saying is continuous. Do you have any references? Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:53, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
But according to the definition of the derivative:- Well for f(x) to be differentiable, This is to say is continuous at x Obviously this is not applicable to the end points of the curve. This is mandatory for a curve to be differentiable at a point x,because if this condition is not satisfied the curve will have two values of slope at the same point and leads to the formation of a sharp point or a corner.you may refer thomas and finney although it hasn't been stated explicitly. Could you provide me examples of functions where these conditions are not satisfied?? --unsigned
- You are right that the function
- is continuous at , as a function of with fixed. As , with fixed, this gives . But as a function of this is not for all and with fixed!
- You want a function which is differentiable but whose derivative is not continuous. Here you are:
- for and
- Its derivative is
- which is not continous at 0. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:05, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Well i think we have a misunderstanding here.You see i said a function is differentiable at x=a if its derivative is continuous at x=a.And your function is no doubt differentiable at all points except at x=0 where f'(x)is discontinuous and varies randomly.I think i forgot to mention that.I never meant the variable to be h.If i did i would never have mentioned f(x)=|x| which itself is differentiable at all points except x=0 i.e its dervative is discontinuous at x=0.Akshay Srinivasan22:51,April 1 2006 IST
- OK then, so you say that if the derivative is continuous at x=a, then it is differentiable at x=a. This statement says nothing, as if you assume that the derivative is continuous at x=a, that obviously implies that the derivative exists (if the derivative exists and is continuous, then it obviously exists).
- What you should have said that if the derivative f'(x) exists in a neighbourhood of x=a (not including a), and the limit as x->a of f'(x) exists, then it follows that f'(a) also exists. That would have been accurate. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 17:48, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
OK now can i put in the article derivative?Akshay Srinivasan23:23,April 1 2006
- Now we agree on the correct statement. But frankly, I don't think it belongs in the derivative article. It is an interesting observation, but not as crucial. And that article is already big enough. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Telescoping series
[edit]I reverted your edits to that article. What you wrote is not at all a generalization, because it is not even a series, it has a finite number of terms. Besides, that observation is described right below, in the "pitfalls" sections.
And some style tips. You should write "generalization" and "series", rather than "Generalization" and "Series", that is, small letters. Also, you should use a space afer comma (,) and after period (.) the way I do in this paragraph. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 08:51, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- Alright I ahall do that from next time on.Akshay 11:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Doddagaddavalli.jpg
[edit]![]() |
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Doddagaddavalli.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image copyright problem with Image:Doddagaddavalli.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Doddagaddavalli.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.96.252 10:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Doddagaddavalli
[edit]Hi. I see you have created a nice page for the Hoysala temple there. I shall soon be doing some work on this page (I am medieval architecture buff) and adding more pictures. I shall be sourcing useful info about the temple structure and design from a book I have Complete guide to Hoysala temples by Gerard Foekemo. All this over the next month or so.EnjoyDineshkannambadi 18:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Talk page
[edit]Hi Akshay,
Namaskaara! :) I see that you had written message to Dinesh Kannambadi in his user page, User:Dineshkannambadi. In general it is not recommended to edit other user's page or putting a message in other user's page. We should be using talk page for those purposes. I have just moved that message from user page to Dinesh's talk page, here: User talk:Dineshkannambadi. Thank you and happy editing. - KNM Talk 16:28, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for your reply. I have a few good pictures too which I planned to upload today showing doorway decor, minor shrine at coutryard corners etc. I shall however retain your existing one. Feel free to just upload your other file(s) into wiki and give me its .jpg file name so I can access it. Upload as a GDFL self image. While I have visited over 15 Hoysala monuments and have images for all of them, If you have some for other temples that I dont, then we can better use your resources. Do you have any for Belavadi ( I have uploaded mine in the page for this town but at that time I was not using my digital camera so I did not get the whole trikuta temple into one image). Do you have pictures from other Hoysala temples or any other architectural idioms that I could use.?Dineshkannambadi 16:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
BIT Mesra Hindi Name Correction
[edit]Hi,
Regarding your correction of the hindi version of 'Technical' from 'प्रौद्योगिकी' to 'पौधोगिकी' in the BIT Mesra article 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birla_Institute_of_Technology'. Please note the earlier version reflects the correct hindi translation. You may refer the link http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/ or http://www.iitd.ernet.in/ for details.

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Penrosetriangle.gif}
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:Penrosetriangle.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Thanks for uploading Image:Engineer-penrosetriangle.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Indo-Aryan migration debate, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Please refrain from racist remarks as you made in your edit-summaries to Indo-Aryan migration debate:
- "Witzel is not exactly an unbiased source (though he may be quite white)" diff
- "Happy ? Edwin Bryant's book presents the archaeological consensus. Please read it. These are not *secondary* to linguists like Witzel (though he may be quite White)" diff

ARBIPA notification
[edit]Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Kautilya3 (talk) 15:58, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
February 2016
[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Indo-Aryan migration debate. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 05:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Doddagaddavalli.jpg
[edit]You uploaded or restored , File:Doddagaddavalli.jpg, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.
If it's entirely your own work:
please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers.
- If the {{media by uploader}} tag is present please add, a
|claimed=yes
parameter to the tag. - If the {{img-unclaimed}} tag is present, please change it to {{img-claimed}}
If it's not entirely your own work, or the media is based on the work of others:
Please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers. You should also read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission which details how to confirm any permissions you obtained for works by others that are still in copyright.
Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If media is not claimed, and there's no other obvious source or authorship information, the file may have to be removed for copyright reasons.
It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:41, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
