There are three basic steps to building a topic list for Wikipedia: the first is to search Wikipedia to make sure it doesn't already have a list on the subject. The second step is to hunt down every word you can find on the subject, from your own memory, books, web directories, dictionaries, etc. Surround each term with double square brackets, and save the page.
Because Wikipedia has become so extensive, don't be surprised if most or even all of the links turn out blue (those are live links, each leading to an article on Wikipedia). Dead-end links are red, but don't remove them, because they show what articles Wikipedia is missing — anyone can click on a red link to create an article on that topic. The third step is checking each live article in the list for links to related topics. When you find one, add it to the list.
Hey! I came across this paper which is pretty interesting and ties down results from previous human migration work. Surprisingly enough according to this section the first inhabitants of South Asia were Austro-Asiatic people!!! This would be a classic example of how people who hardly understand genetics talk about that. Id est if you go to Dravidian peoples' article they use Sahoo et al. (2006) to say that Dravidian's don't exist. But in actual matter of fact, as you can see in the paper in my Sandbox which refers to the same paper (as reference 31), this only means that the influence of Central Asian gene pool into India is minor (although not non-existent). The conclusion of those studies are said in the last line of the paragraph, which I have underlined. It is interesting for me to find that Austro-Asiatic people would be the first people to reach South Asia and Dravidians only the second and last the so called Aryans.

Thats fine. I just thought the very idea that Austro-Asiatic people were the first one to reach South Asia was astounding. Need to see, just out of curiosity, if we there are any archaeological evidence to this end. Wiki San Roze†αLҝ13:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I advice to remove those talk messages all by yourself. I've been pretty decent with you. Your usage of the f-word was unwarranted. I'm not even insisting on an apology. Be good and I'll be good to you. Otherwise get ready to bear the consequences.-RavichandarMy coffee shop15:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
On January 29, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Barashnûm, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Hi. I see you added cleanup tags to a number of articles recently, including JNR Class EF66. That's fair enough, but please note that your edits were marked as "M" (minor), which they most certainly not. If you are not sure of the guidelines, please familiar yourself with Help:Minor edit and take more care in future. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 09:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Then you will either need to check the settings to make sure it stops marking such edits as "Minor" or stop using it and check your edits manually. The page you quoted reads as follows:
Before you start using Twinkle you really should read its documentation to familiarize yourself with some of the possibilities and functions of Twinkle. There is also a multitude of options that you can configure to change some of the default behaviours of Twinkle. Never forget that you take full responsibility for any action performed using Twinkle. You must understand Wikipedia policies and use this tool within these policies, or risk being blocked. --DAJF (talk) 13:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I just saw those edits and found that they were made using Wikipedia:Friendly and not Twinkle. Sorry, but I'm fully convinced that I've done nothing wrong. If you feel so, you may very well complain to an admin. Or maybe, you might ind other ways to get me blocked. All the best.:-)-RavichandarMy coffee shop13:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't think this is a matter that needs administrator intervention, and I don't have any wish to have you blocked. I am just asking you to take the time to read Help:Minor edit to familiarize yourself with what constitutes a "Minor" edit, and then adjust "Friendly" or whatever software you are using so that it does not label important maintenance edits as "Minor". That's all. I have never used Friendly or any automated tool myself, but a quick glance at Wikipedia:Friendly suggests that it is easy to changes the settings. Other editors seem to be able to do it, so please take the trouble to do the same. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 13:48, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello, Ravichandar84. You have new messages at EhJJ's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
On February 1, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gilbert Slater, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Thank you for your hard work on Periyar E. V. Ramasamy. Following an excellent copyedit on the suggestions provided, I have now passed this article as a Good article, and updated the various talk page templates to reflect this.
Thanks a lot! But I still feel that there are strong POV issues with the article. I did not want to raise them since GA-reviews are usually performed by only one reviewer. Anyway, I'll be raising them when the author nominates it for FA. The whole section "Ideals and criticism" is messed up with POV. Maybe, the article is worthy enough to be a GA for its wide coverage and the hard work put into it by User:Wiki Raja. Nevertheless, there is no chance of the article clearing FA unless changes are made. Anyway, again, thanks a lot! -12:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I'd love to review the article, but unfortunately real-life issues have forced me to take a wikibreak for a month or so. When I return, I'll take up the review, if someone hasn't done it by then. Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 13:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Not just yet I took it easy for a few days last week, at present I'm mainly doing cleanup tasks and adding infoboxes. I will though be starting Agriculture in Paraguay in a day or two so look out! I;m currently enjoying the great snow we are experiencing here, its common up north but on the coast of south wales which has a mild climate in winter it is very rare!! Dr. BlofeldWhite cat10:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Actually you could nominate Tsarong Dzasa did you know that he was considered the greatest ally of the British in Tibet or something. I am in the middle of writing it so it should be expanded by another third I think when I'm done. Dr. BlofeldWhite cat17:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
That's great! :-) Well, it's pleasant here, too. The mercury has dipped to the mid-twenties. It'll last until March-April when the temperature shall start to rise once again. In June, the temperature will be about 40 degrees C and the heat will be almost unbearable. Hmmm, I guess the lack of snowfall in coastal Wales compared to parts more interior in Northern UK is due to the fact that those areas are away from the sea and experience continental-type of climate. Am I right?
By the way, could you help me with these articles: Madras Presidency and Lakshmikanthan Murder Case. As far as the first one is concerned, I am forced to leave the article incomplete as I do not have districtwise population statistics for the period 1911 to 1941. I strongly feel that the article is a potential FA and I feel bad that I cannot proceed further. As far as Lakshmikanthan Murder Case is concerned, though the subject is notable, still I am not able to find much sources on the web. All that I could find is a blog by Randor Guy and the site has been blacklisted; so I cannot add this particular reference, too.-RavichandarMy coffee shop02:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Offhand Madras Presidency certainly looks like it has potential, a great article, did you write it? Definately featured potential by the looks of it. I'll try to give it a read when I have a moment and see if I can help. Dr. BlofeldWhite cat10:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
All right! You have it your way. I'm requesting deletion for the image. There maybe someone who might find a PD-image for it. I was wrong in uploading it and putting it there.-RavichandarMy coffee shop15:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
