Rasas

[edit]

Dear Sreekanth, please check out the discussion page. In short, since there are huge differences between different schools of abhinaya, I suggested that we should specify that such and such interpretation, illustration, etc. comes from such and such school, style, etc. in order to avoid the confusion.

About Ambalavasi Nambiars

[edit]

Dear Sreekanth, I have noticed the changes that you are made in the Nambiar article. I admit your edits and keeps it as so. However, I would like to say a few words. Many historians have misinterpreted the position of ambalavasis in the society of Kerala. But the castes that I have noted in the Ambalavasi sect was with greater references, dates back to 1960s. Please see my user page. However, nowadays such distinct castes doesnot exist. But it was a matter of fact that there were theree distinct groups in Ambalavasi Nambiars. -Pushpaka, Tiyyadi and Mizhav. These were the adjectives used by the Ambalavasi nambiars to represent their profession/occupation. Each sect used thereown name for womens also. But you edited it in such a way that there is only one ambalavasi group. It is true. There is only one now and there was only one earlier. But the difference is that, in the earlier times they used such adjectival forms. But now, not. That is why I started that sentence as "There WERE....". I expect further studies from the part of you.. and if you have comments, talk to me on my talk page, which is still waiting for messages. Ambalavasi 17:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nambiar

[edit]

Hello Sreekanthv! what i edited the article to was an improvement from what it was before....where there was a paragraph titled Ambalavasi nambiars and another title with nair nambiars....but alas...no information about them beneath it! Yes all castes are just as important....and i have accomodated this by including a section on ambalavasi nambiars. samantha kshatriya nambiars (which are considered to be part of nair sect) is however the majority type of nambiar in kerala, and it has been said that ambalavasis may have adopted the title. this is not to say one is better than the other. they are 2 different castes. the picture is of a young kshatriya man presumably from south india (since he is not dressed like a north indian kshatriya...rajput, etc.) he wears a knot of hair above his head (just as nambiars, kurups and unnithans did), he carries a bow and a quiver of arrows (nambiars and nairs were reknowned for carrying arms at all times) and he wears the sacred beads (just as nambiars did in the past- this includes ambalavasi brahmins i presume- teachers and students alike at the kalari wore these beads) Furthermore we know he is a kshatriya, yet he does not wear a poonul, just as kshatriya nambiars do not wear poonuls. i ask you sreekanthv, what is there that is incorrect with this image?

Hi Sreekanthv, thank you for contributing to wikipedia, I can see our coverage of Kuttiyattam theatre is very bad. However we might have some problems:

  • Regarding Image:Mani damodara Chakyar.jpg, it's not possible for wikipedia to use the image if you want it to be "all rights reserved", we have to be able to re-use it freely. Did you actually take the picture?
  • The article Mani Damodara Chakyar doesn't give any sources we can check to prove that it's true. I checked on google and I could find almost nothing about him, is it possible that you could cite a website or a printed source like a book or newspaper report which discusses him?

[edit]

Thanks for your work on this article, which is one of the best that we have on a subject related to Kerala. One thing that is missing is references to some of things mentioned in the articles - especially the quotes. For example can you please add whether it was a particular person who called him the master who gave eyes to Kathakali. Can you please take care of this.

Deleted category

[edit]

There was a category called 'People of Kerala' which was deleted and renamed to 'People from Kerala'. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_29#People_from_Indian_states.

Both the articles had the 'People of Kerala' category. What this edit did was to move it from the deleted category to the category 'People from Kerala'.

There is absolutely no threat to the articles. Tintin (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Well it means this: Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 July 29 there was a discussion about the name of the category, and after several days it was agreed that the name should change. The category was NOT deleted, it was renamed -- Drini 16:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning Ambalavasi Nambiar Edit

[edit]

Dear Sreekanth, I know one should talk at the end of the talk page. But when I viewed your talk page, it was a mess. You haven't yet deleted unnecessary/Expired talks. I needed immediate attention from your part. That is why I wrote in the beginning. If you felt any inconvenience, I am sorry. You discribied your vision. But I was not explaing my own vision. The sentences I put it there was based on an Article Published in Mathrubhumi Azchappathippu in 1983 May 29 about Ambalavasis, Their History etc. The title of that Article was "Thrikkovil Kazhakam"-Keralathile Ambalavasikal, Avarude Charitram. It was written by M.G. Sasibhushan. In that article and in some of the references mentioned, it was clearly stated that Tiyyadi Nambiar is also a part of Pushpaka Brahmin Sect. See "Pushpaka Vargangal". The article also covers the status of Kshatriya Samantha Caste. A similar state - They were described as Ardha Kshatriya (Semi-Kshatriya).

Carnatic Music Article - Support for Neutrality

[edit]

Hi, thanks for your link about Natya Shastra. If you believe Carnatic Music (or Indian Classical Music) was only influenced by Ancient Tamil Music to a limited extent during a particular period, but is a separate genre with its own traditions even from the time of Natya Shastra, please lend your support in the talk page of the CM article. We need more mainstream neutral views from wikipedians to stamp out propoganda and linguistic chauvinism. Please see Talk:Carnatic_music#Balanced.2FNeutral_POV and respond appropriately.

=NatyaShastra

[edit]

Yes Bharata's natyashastra is refferred to as Natyashastra most frequently without paying heed to the implication of using such a title.

My argument is the following 1. Natya Shastra - This refers to the shastra of dance, however it is known that there have been different shastras or tretises on Natya or dance, and the only one currently available seems to be that of Bharata. That does not mean that we can just hijack the term(which is the join of two sanskrit words- both the words have unambiguous meaning) . Anyone with sanskrit knowledge will tell you that shastra can be written by more than one author . Take the dharmashastra for instance.

2. Much of what is today believed to be Bharata's work has been collected by people like rukmini devi and the tretise, which is claimed to be that of Bharata today is used for building up bharatanatyam. I however see no proof that this is the only natyashastra. If you do find such a proof then you may edit suitably.

I agree with you, but I am concerned with the use of sanskrit here. In fact I have been careful myself. I have just said 'Natyashastra can be loosely translated as'.Difficult to find exact translations. Sanskrit terminology should be universally applicapable and if we use some term the context must become self explanatory.We have other terms like 'Vimana Shastra', but it can be written by anyone and I may(may emphasized) not even be wrong if I classify aerospace enginneering, a modern science as Vimana Shastra. This may be small thing now, but by defining this in encyclopedia we are setting a precedent for future use. Remember that even in the future a person can come up with a tretise on a dance form like salsa (which does not even have Indian roots) and title it as 'Natya Shastra' and he may be entitled to use such a title(Such issues can be left to sanskrit grammarians)

In any case, in the article 'Natya Shastra of Bharata', I have made a small modification. I have mentioned that this work is titled Natya Shastra. Hope that sorts things out. Thanks --Harishsubramanian 10:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A new wiki just for India

[edit]

www.indianotebook.org/wiki

Hey Sreekanthv, I noticed that you were interested in editing India articles. I just wanted to tell you about a new wiki that a friend and I have created called India Notebook, the url of which is above. A description of our site is as follows (copy-pasted from the main page): About Us: The ultimate aim of India Notebook is to document each and every little thing in India. From shops to restaurants to your local paanwalla in your hometown, India Notebook will have an entry on it so that anytime you find yourself wanting to go to, say, a new restaurant in your town, just log on, search for restaurants in your town and browse away. All we need is a little help from you. Just add all your favourite hangouts, restaurants etc etc and slowly but surely, we will have documented everything there is to see and do in India for anyone to reference, anywhere and anytime. Soon a visitor to Bombay will be able to simply come here and check out the hottest clubs, best eateries and coolest Museums without buying a guidebook. Anything and everything you want to know about a city will be right here, written by the locals.

Come and contribute. Review your favourite pubs/restaurants so that people get up-to-date information about any place in india from the locals. And also tell any friends of yours who edit wikipedia to come help out here. We're also thinking of integrating Google maps into the site, so that you can view the location of any place described on the site. Don't hesitate to contact me at chaita@gmail.com

Best,

Ok, let's sum up the actions required for the pics:
The book cover is now appropriately tagged; it now needs a fair use rationale for each time it is used in an article. See Image:Einstein TIME Person of the Century.jpg for an example of how this could be done.
The portrait Image:Mani Madhava Chakyar.jpg needs a written permission from the copyright holder (which would be his family). See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for the correct procedure.

Fair use rationale for Image:Maani_Maadhaveeyam.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Maani_Maadhaveeyam.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 14:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are the creator of the image, you can use it here without any problems. You can either overwrite the current image by using the "upload new version" at Image:Mani Madhava Chakyar-Sringara.jpg, or upload it as a new image (with the same copyright tags) and use it in the article. Tintin 12:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, you will have to send it through Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. This is done seperately in each language. Tintin 12:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, like Tintin said, you'll have to nominate it on each wikipedia separately for featured status. Each language wikipedia functions almost independently. When an image is uploaded on one of the language wikipedia, it is available only to that particular wikipedia. So an images on the English wiki will not be available on the Malayalam wiki and vice versa. To make your GFDL images appear across all Wikipedia languages, you can upload it to Wikipedia commons. --thunderboltz(TALK) 15:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Malayalee

[edit]

Hello,

There's a problem in the Malayalee article. The points of contention are the following:

  • Dayaanjali doesn't want the article to mention that marumakkathayam (matrilineality/matrifocality) were practiced by the Nairs. i.e., as a community, Nairs were known to be matrifocal/matrilineal, and a martial class.
  • Dayaanjali insists the the words "Malayali" comes from the Malayalam words Malai and Aali. Historically, the region has been known as Malayalam before the genesis of the Malayalam language. Hence, the words probably originated from old Tamil. He also seems to think that Malayalam originated independently of Tamil, whereas (facts aside) all linguists state that Malayalam split off from Tamil about 800 AD or 900 AD.

Since you are active in Kerala-related articles, I request you to take a look at this matter. Dayaanjali seems unwilling to discuss changes in the talk page. Initially we had a discussion. I provided references to support my points. After this, he has refused to discuss the points, claiming that my edits are "unverified". The discussion is here. --vi5in[talk] 06:45, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I firmly believe that Malayalam developed independently having more influence from Tamil. Having said that, the language has similarities with other languages in south india. It has loaned words from sanskrit and many foriegn languages. Its grammatic styles are similar to Tamil. Script is more similar to Tulu Script. Even then You cannot call it new language. The people of malabar cost was using languague which was different from Tamil even during Sangam period, though part of same kingdoms as that of present day Tamil Nadu. The people are different, the culture is different, the script is different. The words Mala and ali are there in many languages in south india and foreign languages like Sinhala, Thai etc. Its not known where the words come any paryicular language. And about customs of Nair cast, its not specific to nairs. More than that this is not the article that you can list out all the customs and tradition of aparticular community. You have a separate article where you can add details.

Daya Anjali (talk / contribs) 09:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Malayalee not the artcile to add all caste in kerala. Only some of castes are added. If you add like that it will become very big and tedous to maintain. Ambalvasi is small caste. there are many castes in kerala like that. More than that many caste are prominent also like Nadar, Pulaya, Saliya etc. The article should be simple and maintainable. Daya Anjali (talk / contribs) 09:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sreekanth, yes it is quite sad. The irony is that being a Nair myself, I was accused of all sorts of "caste-bias" from other Nairs, when I was trying to make the Nair article more neutral. Thank you for your help! --vi5in[talk] 16:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

[edit]

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, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes 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. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

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) 17:56, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Polyakov.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Polyakov.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jaan Pehechan Ho, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shailendra (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Chandragupta Maurya religion

[edit]

Please do not include 'Hinduism' religion in infobox. It is highly controversial. Pls see Talk:Chandragupta Maurya. You won't find a single reliable source which state that he was 'Hindu'. He might be Shudra or Kshatriya. But some users say that being Shudra or Kshatriya does not mean being a Hindu. In later life he was converted to Jainism but religion for earlier life is missing. I am reverting your edit. Thanks. neo (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear neo... this is highly ridiculous.. Shudra/Kshatriya are Hindus only [even now]... I fail to understand that there is a discussion about the emperor's religion. He was a HIndu and perhaps in later years got converted to jainism. Sreekanthv (talk) 16:17, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Common sense does not work on wikipedia. They want sources. I have argued over this topic on talkpage, ANI, RSN, INB. It has even gone to DRN. Everybody was silent. Finally one admin spoke and even he wants sources. See this. If you can't find sources, Chandragupta and Chanakya were never Hindus, that's what they are trying to tell me. If you have reliable sources to prove that they were Hindus, very good. neo (talk) 16:38, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know that the picture is a rare one. But original photograph needed for a GFDL License. Or you can keep local copy of the file on en wikipedia. On commons only free license image are kept. If you taken the picture then scan it and upload. do not edit it. also you want to state that you are the owner of the photograph. I think Exif data needed. --Ranjithsiji (talk) 16:42, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
