Moving the photo down...

So promptly my wish was fulfilled! Goodness gracious! Now in Jagaddhatri page two photos too nearby does not give a tidy feeling. My photo, if possible can be moved under the History para. And please teach me how to upload photos from Wikicommons to wikipedia. — VMO 16:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Well done! Thanks for your positive response! — VMO 03:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

History merge

I have requested a history merge on Wangjing, Beijing, an article you created a short time ago. Please, next time when you create disambig pages like that, MOVE the page rather than copy and paste. This will preserve the history of the article which is necessary under the GFDL. Thanks, Metros 16:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for copy edit. I shall take a closer look.Dineshkannambadi 21:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the great surprise. -- P.K.Niyogi 12:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Geology of the Himalaya

Hi, you have added a references to the article on the Geology of the Himalaya. I am not sur that it makes any sense to cite the work of E. Catlos in reference to the fact that the Himalayas are the result of a collision between two continental tectonic plates (many geologist have said it before her and it is common knowledge anyway). However, if you really think that this citation is of any value, you should correct the link 1. [Elizabeth Jacqueline]. Cause it doesn't work Moumine 21:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

re: Hello!

Hi! this is a nice surprise... ya, been a bit busy with work... It seems if at all I type something in wikipedia, it's only to get into a argument :) something I plan to rectify. As for you your total count exceeds 8513 with 2538 unique edits... I don't call that a bit infrequent. rgds, --hydkat 06:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The dates on the web page access is given in the "references" section. But I will also include it in the "notes" section with the "title" of the web page article as you suggest.thanksDineshkannambadi 17:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Sir, I have added whatever info about author, dates, publishers etc., I could muster into the weblink reference citations.I hope this looks ok.thanksDineshkannambadi 16:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Bangla

There's a selected article drive for Bangla on the west Bengal portal. Do u know when this will be finally decided? I will try for FA sometime soon, just maybe wanted to get the selected article thing out of the way--ppm 05:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

okay its up for a FA drive. let's see--ppm 07:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I did contact Sameer. I will kinda wait for comments on the FAC page. Once we get a more comprehensive view of what is lacking, i'll move.--ppm 08:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Dash usage

Hi Dwaipayan,

Just curious. Why did you change the emdashes and endashes to their HTML equivalent in this edit. Is there any such recommendation. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:PKL

Long time since our editing paths crossed. Didnt see you on #wikipedia-in since then.

I finally got rid of the India portal clone at Portal:Kerala and it finally sports a (hopefully) better look. When you have time, please take a look, and let me know at Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Peer review/Portal:Kerala (or on my talk). Cheers!--thunderboltz^(Deepu) 17:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Namaskar Dwaipayan, you may want to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bangladesh#Userbox to put on your userpage.Bakaman _Bakatalk 06:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Dwaipayan!

Hope all is well my friend. With grant season ending here recently and the deadlines for GI meetings coming up, I've been a little busy. I see Bengali language is up for FAC now and that the pool of Indian admins is growing. Hope to see your name there soon as well. Just let us know. -- Samir धर्म 06:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Great work! And yes, please change it. --ppm 07:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi!

Felt great to see your msg. on my talkpage. Had I not been inactive on WP and busy elsewhere, I'd have nominated you at the rfa by now. It was great meeting you in person - so, the feeling is mutual! --Gurubrahma 07:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I have been prodding him to an RfA for some time. Is it the right time at least now, buddy?--thunderboltz^(Deepu) 13:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Tagore

I'm OK with it. To be honest, I was at first thinking it wasn't justified because, for example, famous American and Australian last names don't just redirect to the most famous person bearing the name. For example, Lachlan Macquarie probably got half of Australia named after him and is probably as well-known there as Tagore is in India, but Macquarie doesn't redirect to him. But then I thought about Gandhiji, and realized that to give Tagore the same one-name redirect is good. So it depends on culture, I guess. And thanks for doing it. :) Saravask 19:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Bangla

yes, odd terminolgy. that section needs to be shortened and corredted--ppm 03:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for the information on Bengali language. I've been quite busy lately and only able to check on the articles in my watchlist for vandalism. I'll take a look ASAP. As far as the spelling of Chau/ Chhau I don't see any problems with either as long as they link to the main article. Take care. Antorjal 17:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I am doing fine. Fairly busy with my PHD. Just checking wikipedia now and then. Nice to see you still active. --Blacksun 18:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I am rearranging the dialects section, which is really messed up, and will comment after that. But, you can go ahead and do it if you feel!--ppm 21:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

btw, I just noticed that some parts of the article are straight from [1], i'll try to change the language--ppm 22:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Can we have a dialect map as in the article Swedish language. I think if we can add it we will get an add on in the FA drive.Amartyabag 12:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion. I have made a small inclusion but I am not able to locate good material for jatra. I have been hunting a lot. I will put it in when I get it. Birbhum District has just been rated ‘B Class’. I don’t find any other district page with that rating. All are mostly ‘stub’ and a few ‘start’. Thanks again for the support. I have received the photographs from Durgapur Steel Plant but I am awaiting their communication about these being available to the public domain. -- P.K.Niyogi 13:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

South Indian Cinema and Music Award

Dear Dwaipayanc: Just thought we'd need experienced Wikipedians to discuss about the introduction or removal of a new barnstar for South Indian Cinema and Music. Would appreciate very much you taking a look at the discussion and perhaps providing your comment here. Thank you. Best wishes, AppleJuggler 15:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

What r u working on now a days? any new topic?--ppm 18:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Folding@home

• Comment Not bad. I'd like to see some points covered:

• If I run the program while doing something else in my computer, does it significantly affect the speed of performance?
• Is there any significant stastistical trend among people who allow there computer to use the program (for example, whether most of the users are chemistry/biology students)? (however, this data will be :*How does merely "contributing electricity" by Playstation3 would help the project?
• Need to have more wikilinks to technical terms. For a person who does not understand computer lingo adequately, sometimes it is tough to read the article. For example, what is "450 X1900" GPU, or, what is "x86-64" Linux?
• "...is measured against couple simple qualificators." - what is couple simple qualificators? Or am I missing some word?
• WU=working units, right?
• "With push to larger WUs and longer folding timeslices, the system speed is influencing more the possible porting decision than the possible system count" - hard to understand. Please elaborate. Also please wikilink System speed and system count.
• How about a section on problems/bugs of the program? Is there any controversy regarding it's acceptability among the scientific community?
• Why did not Google toolbar incorporate the program this time?
• Lead needs slight expansion.

I think addressing these concerns would help some sections get rid of the "stubby" look as noted above by Selmo. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter: Volume I, Issue 3 - December 2006

Project News Name change of cities in Karnataka: A straw poll was conducted on the proposal to change the name of cities in Karnataka, per the Nov 1, 2006 decision by the Karnataka government to rename them from the current anglicised forms. The result of the poll was to change the names. As controversial as the decision may be in the real world, the article Bangalore in Wikipedia still reflects the old name. You may be interested in knowing why. Dig the archives. New Project Noticeboard (Shortcut:WP:INB): WikiProject India now sports a new colourful centralised noticeboard. An effort to make the noticeboard current and dynamic was mooted a few days back, and Ganeshk came up with the new format. The new noticeboard will strive to be the one-stop shop for all project related information. The shortcut is WP:INB. Members List: The old members list is being phased out to give way for the new members list. New members are requested to add their names to the new members list. As the newsletter grows, further issues of the Project Newsletter will be delivered to those enlisted in the new list. So dash down now, to check if ur name is in there. What's New? Prayer flag in the Kurgiakh valley in Zanskar Featured Content: Three articles (Chalukya Dynasty (nom), History of Tamil Nadu (nom) and Bengali language (nom)), one list (List of Indian ODI cricketers) and one picture (Prayer flag in the Kurgiakh valley in Zanskar contributed by Moumine (pictured)) were featured from our WikiProject recently.

Note from Editor's Desk Welcome to the December 2006 edition of our newsletter. Time flies past like matter into the black hole. It is interesting to notice that we are already into the last month for the year of 2006. 2006 saw discussions and development beyond realisation. In the world of Wikipedia where quality counts than quantity, we have come a long way. We've made better than 'nothing', to say the least, and even that is an achievement. I take this opportunity to thank everyone including those who have dotted the i's and crossed the t's. As before, we'd like to stress, this is your newsletter, and we want you to be part of it as well. Provide us with news tips. It can be anything related to the project, from discussions to calls for help, and other interesting stuff within our community. If you have received or given any barnstars recently, do let us know. Sponsored content for recruitments within your WikiProject sub-groups are also welcome. We'll be very happy to include them here. Before we sign off, Advance New Year Wishes, everyone. This edition special Assessment Department (Shortcut: WP:IN1): Are you one of those gnomes?? Or do you want to take some time off some brain-frying active editing on Wikipedia?? Then Department of Assessment within the WikiProject India will be your forte. The department consists of a group of wikipedians who work on rating the India related articles to check if they are worthy enough to be included in the CD (or print) version of Wikipedia. The rating process gains more significance as we try to sort out which articles and which topics need more attention to balance the India related systemic bias within wikipedia. As a thumb rule, anyone can rate any article based on the related criteria, within the Stub/Start/B/A levels. However, ratings for Good Article Status and Featured Article status go through the nomination processes. How to?: The "how to" part of assessment is very simple. Just head on to the talk page of any India related page and you'll find the {{WP India}} template. Simply classify the article based on the content and the criteria mentioned here. You can find the detailed instructions here. If you think it may qualify for GA/FA status, first consider submitting the article for peer review. Signed...

Nathu La

Hi,

Thanks for the additions. They were very helpful. BTW, do you think the article is ready for FAC? Or do we still need more info/major structural changes. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

I am aware that the pass is not open to tourists before 2012. That is why I have edited all sentences that said something like "...now Tibetans would be able to...", to now say that "...the pass makes the distance shorter..", etc. If you think any more correction is required to make things clearer, please go ahead with it. Just drop a note to Nichalp, as he has asked me when will I stop editing it so that he can flex his muscles there. About the image, I have no idea. It was added by Nichalp, and I haven't deleted it. If you have doubts over its validity, please consult him. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I have left him a message at the article's talk page. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

As you mentioned, there are issues with the prose, namely it is tilted to the Indian POV. I will try and balance the prose over the next weekend. Secondly the infobox is pro-India, that needs to be changed. To answer your question about the image. I did not add the image to the article, but this is the source: [2]. The photographer is a native of Kalimpong, so he would know best. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll be posting further comments on the Nathula talk page. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello,To mention Ambuj Saxena I don't think that the pass is closed for tourist as I visited it in October, 2005. He have to be sure about it. Go on with the project I am with it.Amartyabag 16:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the context was to allow ordinary civilians to cross over, like the India-Nepal border. =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Partition of India

Hi,

Well copy-pasting from Partition of India wont solve the problem, page histories have to move too!. Actually some guys moved the page unilateralyy to Collapse of British India. I accidently moved it to Partition Of India rather than Partition of India!

Yes, I have taken care of inline citations and references from my previous learning on Chalukya page. I will submit for FA soon. Ok, I will take a look at Tamil people article also. I need someone to proof read Hoysala for grammer, typos though.I was working with Mattisse, who seemed to be interested but has some other problems keeping him busy. Can you suggest someone.Dineshkannambadi 13:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

New film

Saw you set up the Sacred Evil article - IMDB doesn't have much on this, and says it's still in production. Does it have an official website?--Shtove 00:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I guess the links could go in to the article. I left a message at Talk:Bollywood#New genres wondering if thrillers and horror would become mainstream for Indian producers - any ideas, links?--Shtove 16:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hoysala

Hi. I just wanted to clarify a point that you made during copy edit. The collective term used to describe the entire clan is called Hoysala, as described in the "legend" section. The word Hoysala = Hoy + Sala. Even scholars are not really clear which one of the early kings was "sala" though almost all records of the Hoysalas from 1117 narrates a story of "sala" as the founder and that he was from Sosevur (Chikmagalur district) As one may imagine, the chieftains from Arekalla(950 CE)-->Maruga-->Nripa Kama I(976)-->Munda(1006-1026)-->Nripa Kama II(1026-1047) may have been hereditery chieftains belonging the the same family lineage. I am going to add more info on legends from my source which I seem to have missed earlier.Dineshkannambadi 01:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Sutanuti

First, thanks for your excellent editing of Nabakrishna Deb. I think there still is a lot to learn. Second, I have been trying to gather some material on Sutanuti. I find that much of the material is common for Kalikata, Sutanuti and Gobindapur. That led me to think whether we should combine the three pages. Alternatively, I can first develop the Sutanati page and then you can think what to do. Regards. -- P.K.Niyogi 03:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I will work on Sutanuti. I am not very knowledgeable about Cinema matters. At one point of time I was secretary of Burnpur Film Society but then I lost touch. Regards. -- P.K.Niyogi 15:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

DYK Error

Thanks for spotting the spelling mistake. Don't know why it wasn't discovered for such a long time. - Aksi_great (talk) 15:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I think you are mistaken. See the top of the page - "Once an error has been fixed, the error report will be removed from this page" - Aksi_great (talk) 15:29, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
