Couette Flow

This article has experienced a flurry of recent edits. There are some concerns and ideas I've penned at Talk:Couette flow and I thought I'd ask if you'd take a look, given your considerable past input on this article. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 01:51, 30 March 2017 (UTC).

Mansoor Ahamed Khan

Dear Saleh, Mansoor Ahamed Khan ia an article about an architect who is playing a key role in providing one of the basic needs of mankind. He is one of the few architects from coimbatore, India getting recognized because of his innovative designs in architecture. He also won a National award for his futuristic proposal and his science museum project was nominated for an international award at florence. So please consider this article. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Makinnovations (talk • contribs) 14:12, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Thekkepuram

Hi Salih, you seem to be a person who could improve Thekkepuram and Mishkal Mosque. Could you please look for some pictures of the mosque which can be used? Cheers Zencv ^Whisper 22:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

It’s great that you've created the article on Mishkal Mosque. Thanks Zencv. As for the pictures, there are few in the web, but I am not sure about the copyrights. Anyway, when I visit Calicut next time, surely I’ll take some snaps myself. Cheers. Salih (talk) 03:49, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I saw many images of Mishkal mosque, but not sure whether any of them would be acceptable under fair use. I see good potential for expansion of Thekkepuram article(esp. cuisine section and history section) as they are rather underdeveloped. Cheers Zencv ^Whisper 22:45, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the problem with images. Agree that Thekkepuram article has lot of scope for furhter expansion. Will work on it some time later. Thanks. Salih (talk) 03:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Orifice plate

Hi Salih, I've just noticed, that you undid my external links in Orifice plate and Kármán vortex street because of spam. Before we end up of philosophizing on which is spam and which is not I'd like to ask you to have a look at the discussions on User talk:XLinkBot I have allready undergone. Bud once again my understanding of a global encyclopedia for everybody is that it shouldn't be limited to a academical collection of formulas. When there is a chance of having the theory explained in a admittedly simplified, but more visual way we should definitely make use of it. This is my intention (next to the fact, that I'm very fond of good 3D animations) and not spamming. I hope this clears up the sky a little bit. I wish you a nice day. --Ursus.Bear (talk) 09:18, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I saw the video clips on the YouTube before undoing your edits. Though the video was interesting, I thought it was promoting a company/organization. If you have added those links in good faith, please feel free to revert my edits. Cheers. Salih (talk) 09:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. Yes I believe in pictures. So I will revert your edits. Greetings --Ursus.Bear (talk) 12:39, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Joy J. Kaimaparamban

Is this novelist notable? Thanks in advance. Paalappoo (talk) 05:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

He is a well known novelist, but in Wikipedia sense, the notability is rather weak for the lack of sufficient RS. I have !voted a weak keep in the AfD. Cheers! Salih (talk) 05:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Paalappoo (talk) 05:40, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Kainikkara Kumara Pillai

I started this article as a sort of experiment related to the Joy J. Kaimaparamban AfD discussion. I picked Kainikkara Padmanabha Pillai at random from the list of authors published by DC Books, which did not have an entry for Joy J. Kaimaparamban although the article says DC Books published his works. I wanted to see whether, as I suspected, it would be easy enough to find sources on a published Malayalam author. It was. The article on his brother Kainikkara Kumara Pillai followed naturally. I will try a third, then go back to the AfD and comment there. Not seeing it very positively at this stage. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:42, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

That's wonderful, at least, AfD of Joy J. Kaimaparamban has yielded two good articles! Cheers. Salih (talk) 18:57, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Please except my sincere thanks Salih. I guess its just because of your's, User:NinetyNineFennelSeeds's, User: Whpq's and User:Tv-med's help and effort, my created article could withstand baseless accusations and could make its place in wikipedia and suprisingly I wasn't here when it all happened.

Verification

Hi, I wanted to ask regarding the 'orphan' tag in article S P Vaid. It transparently states that "This biography of a living person needs additional references or sources for verification", but if you look at the article, almost 18 references have been provided as such which clearly verify and confirm the facts provided. I just wanted to ask, whether what I am saying is right? and should I go ahead and remove the tag or is there anything else that I should know? Kindly help. Regards, *Truth* 11:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by JK-RULZ (talk • contribs)

• And yes, the article is already mentioned to be a stub in the end (of the article), so is the 'orphan' tag still required? *Truth* 11:39, 3 January 2010 (UTC) JK-RULZ (talk • contribs)

• The article is currently tagged for {{orphan}} and {{refimproveBLP}}. I don't see any problem in removing "refimproveBLP" tag as the sourcing seems to be quite adequate. An article is tagged for "orphan" if there is no other Wikipedia article is linked to it. Currently, there are two articles, namely List of people from Jammu and Kashmir and Dogra are linked to it. So, it is not exactly an orphan and this tag can also be removed as well. Salih (talk) 15:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

• Alright, I think I'll go ahead, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JK-RULZ (talk • contribs) 18:02, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Telugu

Hello Salih, I wanted to know if you have checked out the site linked to which you removed. It provides a genuinely useful service that is not found elsewhere on the web for understanding Telugu dictionary content in one's own script. Several readers who speak telugu but do not understand the script themselves have mentioned that it is useful to them, for example. I went through adding it to pages where it would be relevant. Is expected that an editor ask on a talk page before adding a link. If this is the case I'll ask first in the future. Mntr (talk) 05:57, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Putting the same external links to a large group of articles by a single editor is generally an indication of spam. Please see the relevant guideline WP:EL. Salih (talk) 07:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Kerala Congress

Hi. I noticed your edit at Kerala Congress (Joseph). However, it's a bit forkish to have both Kerala Congress and Kerala Congress (Joseph) articles. KC(Joseph) is recognized by ECI as 'Kerala Congress', and preferably we should retain the ECI names for articles Indian political parties, otherwise we'll open a Pandora's Box of naming battles. --Soman (talk) 13:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

There is no Kerala Congress party in Kerala now. The parent party had split and became independent parties like Kerala Congress (Mani), Kerala Congress (Balakrishna Pillai), Kerala Congress (Jacob), and Kerala Congress (Joseph). All these these parties having separate election symbols. If you think that this amounts to content fork, then we will have to consider all these parties together. Salih (talk) 13:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm aware of the (many) splits of the party. However, one of them has been recognized as the original faction (i.e. the Joseph group). --Soman (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so what shall we do? Salih (talk) 15:14, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Muthoot Family Category

I do not see a reason why the Family should not by put in the category of Indian Families. Since the Muthoot Group owned by the family has an international presence in over 3 continents and is also having presence in over 22 states of India with more than 1500 branches, plus several business interests outside the state of Kerala (e.g. Chennai Live 104.8 FM in Tamil Nadu, 2000 Acres of Rubber plantations in Maharashtra, St. George's High School in New Delhi and others), I believe that the group deserves to be put in a category that gives justice to their truly pan Indian existence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eapenalexander (talk • contribs) 08:47, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Jyoti Basu

Perhaps you can suggest how the facts can be presented in Jyoti Basu page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notacommunist (talk • contribs) 17:35, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

The first thing is that the source does not name Jyoti Basu. The second is this statement does not belong to the lead section, see WP:UNDUE. Salih (talk) 17:41, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Jyoti Basu was the leader of the alliance which was (is still) in power. There was industrial decline under his leadership. Do you disagree? The references clearly point to the state of West Bengal under his leadership. I'd appreciate you not reverting the edits on political pretexts. Notacommunist (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I suggest you include the material only after a consensus is reached in the talk page of the article, because many editors disagreed with the inclusion of the material. Salih (talk) 17:51, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Many editors? Okay, please do not revert the changes until a consensus is reached. As a political leader, both successes and failures has to be presented. This is not a communist forum. We'd like to spread information in all its fairness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notacommunist (talk • contribs) 17:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Yes many editors; previously an IP was trying to push this material into the article and was promptly reverted. I have no comments about my political stance. Also, your name suggests that you have come here with an agenda. Salih (talk) 18:02, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

The User talk:Rivatphil seems to have the habit of inserting a lot of false information into articles repeatedly. He usually edits political party articles and inserts stuff into them. But I see he has also created a number of Kerala village stubs [1]. Given the user's history in making up things, can you please check if the villages exist?. Thanks --Sodabottle (talk) 04:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I have encountered this editor earlier, but I don’t remember the nature of contribution made by him. Anyway, I will look out for the Kerala related article created by him to see whether they are valid or not. Thanks. Salih (talk) 06:54, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I have gone through those village articles he has recently created; they exist, but the problem is they are all one liners and that too without any sources. Salih (talk) 17:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Douglas Quijano

You tagged the above article as an unreferenced BLP.

Firstly, as the article clearly shows, he is dead - BLPs are Biographies of Living People. Secondly, although it was listed as an external link, there was a reference (about his death).

Please try to be more careful when tagging an article as unreferenced, especially if you tag it as a BLP which is unreferenced! If there are sources listed in external links, then use {{nofootnotes}}. If there are no references (including external links) and it is not a living person, use {{unreferenced}}.

Ideally, if there is an external link like this one, it should be converted to a reference, as I did on the above article.

Finite Elements Page

Hi Salih,

Soni007 tried to include a link to Silvester on Finite Elements page you lately deleted for unfitness. I tried to place it anew, hopefully in a more suitable way.

We think a link to the man who introduced FEM to elecromagnetism is necessary in the history page, if you think it is still unfit where I placed it plese contact me so that we can find a solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by S68 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Fluid dynamics page

(reply from User_talk:Zaphraud#Restoration_of_an_image_in_fluid_dynamics

Actually, compressibility of gas is of great concern when that gas is being drawn through a liquid; the weight of the liquid (rather than the effects of speed) act to compress the gas; as the bubbles travel upward, they expand. Again, I assert that this is of importance at least in the petroleum industry (as well as several other industries, I would assume) and I desire that someone replace the image with an image that demonstrates this principle visually rather than simply erasing it. I have also brought this request up on the talk page (but I was on the complex's open internet and a laptop rather than on my PC, so it shows as an IP address).Zaphraud (talk) 23:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that the section on "Compressible vs incompressible flow" is not about the compressibility of gas but is about the compressible flows. That is why I said the image is not appropriate in that section. Salih (talk) 05:46, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

referred form of the Navier–Stokes equations

Hi Salih, I put the Navier–Stokes equations back into the form corresponding with the associated reference to Batchelor; not because it was in itself wrong. During the last year, the given form evolved into a form deviating from the associated reference, without adjusting the reference. People do not seem to apprehend that $\scriptstyle \iiint \left(\rho \,D\mathbf {v} /Dt\right)\;{\text{d}}V$ for a material fluid element is a nice momentum conservation form. Best regards, Crowsnest (talk) 20:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

That's fine. I feel there is still mistake in the way the body force has been defined. I will consult Batchelor and see what he says. Thanks. Salih (talk) 03:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Nikita heathfield speedy declined

It would probably be better to read critically and search google before tagging as a hoax or vandalism. Potential sourcing exists so PROD or AFD would probably be the way to go after first performing WP:BEFORE. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I applied the speedy hoax criterion mainly becuase of the statement "She started ice skating when she was seven years old and has millions of medals mostly gold or silver and has featured in many shows with the isle of wight ice dance...". Salih (talk) 14:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

There's a difference between childish hyperbole and trying to perpetuate a hoax. She in fact looks to have started skating at an early age and looks to have won enough awards to assert significance. A Google search would have shown this. While an A7 CSD tag might have been sustainable, clearly a vandalism warning was not. As it could be argued that asserts significance, a PROD or {{{notability}}} tag would have been better. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

My fault. I didn't realize that the article creator was a child! Agree that CSD A7 would have been more appropriate criterion after removing the "millions of medals" piece. Anyway, you've now PRDDed it. Thanks. Salih (talk) 15:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Kozhikode Cleanup

Hi, you have recommended cleanup of the History section of Kozhikode. Can u please suggest some specific issues that I can correct? Also, pls advise on how to enhance the status of the article from the present START level. thanking you.

Choosetocount (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Clean up is basically required in the "history section" of the article. It has become bloated up over a period of time and is disproportionately lengthy compared to other sections. I think, we need to trim it by purging all the irrelevant material. Please see the other article on cities like Chennai, New Delhi, and Kochi. I think it's a good idea to start a new article on "history of Kozhikode" and discuss the history part exhaustively; we only need to move the relevant content from history section in Kozhikode article to the new article. Once the cleanup work has been done we can go for a GA review if possible. Regards. Salih (talk) 13:31, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

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, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.

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) 21:50, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Move Opinion

Hei, i guess that since you edit a lot of film related articles that you will be familiar with the naming conventions. I just feel that that the title of "Prithviraj Sukumaran" is inappropriate as he is known simply as "Prithviraj", so i am thinking that a title of the form "Prithviraj<space>(<something>)" is more apt. My move to that format was twice reverted (First i moved it to "Prithviraj (actor)" and then "Prithviraj (Malayalam actor)"). Now, i am looking for some opinion from ppl experienced in this genre as cant really come up with a decision after going through WP:NAMING. Yours will be very helpful.
NB:Pls be advised that a thread has been started by the reverter at the talk page
Thanks Arjun^codename024 17:56, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Arjun, Ideally, Prithviraj should have been the title of the article, but there are other notable people with Prithviraj as their first name. The next option would be to either go for "Prithviraj (actor)" or "Prithviraj Sukumaran". I prefer the latter, because it identifies the person uniquely without a tail. Thanks. Salih (talk) 03:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Ofcourse, the latter looks pretty. Do we, in wikipedia consider only the non-parenthesized part to resolve questions over brevity? If so, the question would be: which;s better "Prithviraj" or "Prithviraj Sukumaran" ; and since "Prithviraj" aint available, we would add a pair of brackets. thoughts?

String girdling Earth

Pure original research? Firstly, it's a logic puzzle which is either correct or not - the normal rules about published references certainly don't apply! Secondly, did you even bother to search the web to see whether your hasty summary was justified? Thirdly, are you sure that you are the right person to be tagging pages such as this one? Come on, get real!! Androstachys (talk) 13:13, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

I did search the net and could not find anything with the title "String girdling Earth". If you can provide at least one reliable source, I myself will remove the PROD tag. Thank you. Salih (talk) 13:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Salih, I found and applied a good source. Of course it's not a logic or logical puzzle, but it is certainly very well known and by no means WP:OR. So I think the tag can be removed unless you already took care of it. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 13:58, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C. T. Mathew

Dear Salih, Hello.I hope it is OK to write - but you suggested a willingness to change your vote. I have added a ref - for Prof Mathew which might allow him to pass Wp:Prof #6. It is not much I know - but I hope it might be just enough. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 12:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC))

Thanks for the information. The source you found clearly establishes the notability, but it's sufficient only to leave a stub about the subject as other material in the article is still unverifiable. So, I have changed my !vote to weak keep. Cheers. Salih (talk) 12:57, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raghupati Raghava Rajaram

I agree that the article Raghupati Raghava Rajaram should be deleted, specially as it does not have the coverage to merit being one of those rare exceptions to WP:NFF. However, as it is one in a series of recent problems for director Shaji Kailas, I went ahead and added one sourced sentence to Shaji Kailas#2000-Present, mentioning Raghupati Raghava Rajaram in context to his other recent setbacks as a director.[2] Might you agree that after deletion, and as readers might still search for the cancelled film by name, that a redirect to the director's section will serve? I also believe a redirect will help prevent an inappropriate recreation of this article. --Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

That's fine, I agree with you to redirect to Shaji Kailas, after deleting the present article. Salih (talk) 04:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Mappila

Someone needs to rewrite the article on Mappila. BTW Can u think of any famous mappila woman to be added to that collage? Any other personality? NMKuttiady (talk) 21:23, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

But the photographs aren't there for them now, and in some cases the license of those in the respective articles is not acceptable. Can you think of any other prominent Mappila women?

Re:Kochi references

Thank you for providing references a second time for the sobriquet "Queen of the Arabian Sea". I have left a message at Talk:Arunvarmaother regarding one of their edits that you might be interested in. Green Giant (talk) 03:02, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. It is seems Arunvarmaother has a tendency to push POV. Probably he hails from the city. Your concern about calling Kochi "the epitome of adventure?" is valid. We do not know in what context Gandhiji said like that. Most probably, as you mentioned, "Living on the seaside you are aware of what adventure can do. The sea is an epitome of adventures." may be the case. I support the removal of "the epitome of adventure?" unless more direct source is available. Salih (talk) 12:52, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

References in Kumbanad

Hi Salih,

Could you please tell me why the two reference added by me was reverted. Honestly I think only those two references among the existing ones give any kind of starting point to improving the article. Mathew Joy (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I am afraid that both the sites do not fall under the category of reliable sources. This seems to be a discussion forum where anybody can post a message. The second one is a personal website. Hope you understand. Salih (talk) 17:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I would agree that those are not the reference I would prefer either. But those two are the only close ones I could get after much searching in Google. The first, in about us section, states that "The Independent Media Center is a network of collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth." While since the name Kumbanad came from the family that lived there I thought the second ref carried more weight in the context. I think you will also agree that orkut and twitter pages cannot come in the reference either. Hence we are left with no major reference to Kumbanad. I think all that can be done is to have just one or two lines stating what Kumbanad is all about. But I think there are some Ips and users heavily guarding the article :) Mathew Joy (talk) 18:18, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I can understand the situation. The problem with the first site is the "passionate telling of the truth". Such sources are inherently unreliable. Information may be sourced to the Kumbanad site, but with caution. Best. Salih (talk) 19:18, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Automobile Department Of Rajalakshmi Engineering College

Automobile Department Of Rajalakshmi Engineering College, this article was previously proposed for deletion by you (see history) for the following concern: Nothing special about this department to have its own article. , this tag was removed by User:Vignesh100992 (see history) Without discussion and for your information I only restored WP:PROD by you BUT User talk:Dana boomer again Removed WP:PROD by you.

The problem is that once the PROD tag has been removed from the article (with or without discussion), we cannot restore it.

Mappila community

Dear Sali,

Now you have deleted two sections as follows,

1. Since Islam reached Malabar as early as 7th century it had almost mixed with the culture and traditions of Keralites . So, the Islahi Movement in Kerala, a renaissance of the community, resulted in the division of Mappilas as "Sunnis" (more orthodox sect than the other) and "Mujahids" (though both of these belong to the Sunni branch of Islam). It's interesting to note that the faith of the Mappilas was a mixture of "Sunnis" and "Mujahids" before these renaissance. The Shia branch is almost absent amongst the Muslims of Kerala.

2.Mappila sects Theological orientations amongst the Mappilas are primarily divided into three, though all these belong to the Sunni branch of Islam.

1) Sunni orthodox sects of Shafi school (A. P. Sunni-Kanthapuram, E. K. Sunni etc.). 2) Adherents of Mujahid -Kerala Nadvathul Mujahideen (A. P. Mujahids, Madavur etc.). 3) Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (simply Jama'at).

The Sunni classification referred to here are identified by their conventional beliefs and practices and adherence to Shafi school of law, while the other two theological orientations,the Mujahids and the Jama'ats, are seen as reform movements within the community and they are School-less. The Shia school is almost absent amongst the Muslims of Kerala. These internal divisions had a great effect on the social life of a Mappila, especially in associated with marriages, burials, mosques (most these divisions even have there own mosques) etc. Muslims in Kerala enjoy a better social and financial security when compared to the Muslims living in other part of India. 3. Disputed Pre-Caste system among Mappilas

Sources never indicated that the pre-castes among Mappilas developed as the result of close contact with Hindu cultures. Thangals claim a superior status derived from their foreign ancestry. The non-Thangals are assumed to be converts from Hinduism, especially from Low Castes (Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe) converts, and are therefore drawn from the indigenous population

Why should anyone ask infor with source for these parts, these are universal truths, every Mappila knows these and wikipedia stands for truths .

Pls undo these deletions or add these informations with changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rameez pp (talk • contribs) 14:37, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Well done in rewritting the lede of Malabar Rebellion. Salih (talk) 15:59, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

How relevant do you think reproduction of the complete letter of the Nilambur Rani is for the article in the form it is as of now? It might be worth a mention in a summarized way, but reproducing the whole letter is putting extra emphasis on a piece of document much beyond its actual significance. The book that quotes it actually just placed it in its appendix, along with many other documents. There are many other letters written by various parties on this very subject - by people with varying opinions. Reproducing each of them like this in full in the article would make it unwantedly huge.NMKuttiady (talk) 19:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

I've rewritten Mappila Songs. Added lots of sources and historic info, but needs a little formatting. Also progressing on the Malabar Rebellion. Might take more time to finish it. The volume of material on it is too numerous.NMKuttiady (talk) 12:11, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Did you get any more info about VM Kutty? See also if you can find out more about PT AbdulRahman. I've got some good material on the early years and will update the article as I move on in my study. Interestingly, this has a very close relation to the Malabar Rebellion and the outbreaks of the 19th century. The soul and thought of the community in those days are expressed in these songs in stark contrast to the "fanatic" narratives of the British records.NMKuttiady (talk) 08:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

The only substantial article I came across about VM Kutty was that Hindu article. More offline source should be available. BTW, in the article 'Mappila Songs' it is mentioned that Kunhayan Musaliyar lived in 16th century, however this book says that he lived in 19th century. Do you have any idea as to which one is correct? 14:49, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Randathani dates it as per the Pakkar Panoor folk tale book. T Menon in this work dates him to around 1700. SM Koya in Mappilas of Malabar dates the Nool Mala by Kunhayan Musaliyar to 1151 AH, which would be 1762 AD. Traditional stories put him as a contemporary of Zainudheen Makhdum and a student of the scholar. So its an unclear picture. In Mappilappattu - Padhavum Padhanavum(Balakrishnan Vallikkunnu and Dr. Umar Tharamel, D.C. Books, 2006) its is categorized in the time period of the post Mala ppattu era of the 17th century and before the Padappattu era of the 19th century, though the time frame is not provided. A semi-biography I read a few years back narrated his days at the Ponnani dars under the Makhdoum, though it could be a Makhdoum of a different era. His songs don't involve battle balads, so its most likely at sometime during the 1700s, the relatively calm years in the Malabar. I've corrected the article accordingly based on these observations giving weightage to the source of T Menon. NMKuttiady (talk) 19:34, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

HIIIIIIIIIIIII

There is only one such award ( best actor classical film) given of,just like second best feauture film this award was discontinued. Before 1968 this award was given of as Rashtrapati award for best actor from president of india.

SO as per rule and as per your message, what guarantee you can give that these 2 categories will be allowed to be included as sub categories in main NationaL Film Award category???

This also this use Shshshsh is disrupting it.

So as per what you said, If i create two articles for thse 2 categories

National film award for best calssical film actor/hero Rashtrapati award for best actor

This vandalism user Shshshsh is not allowing that to happen

THE DIRECTORATE OF FILM FESTIVALS WAS STARTED ONLY FROM 1970.

BEFORE THAT THE ABOVE TWO AWARDS ARE GIVEN FROM THE SAME BODY DIRECTORATE OF FILMS IN INDIA ESTABLISHED IN 1954.

SO AS PER WHAT YOU SAY

I WILL CREATE THESE 2 ARTICLES ONLY YOU CAN GIVE GUARANTEE THAT THIS PERSON Shshshsh will not block adding these categories in National Film Award main article and then create individual articles.

UNTILL YOU CLARIFY THIS TO ME, SOBHAN BABU WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL AWARD BEST ACTOR GIVEN BY INDIAN CENTRAL GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE HANDS OF PRESIDENT OF INDIA.

IN WHAT WAY YOU CAN DISAGREE THAT SOBHAN BABU DID NOT GET AN AWARD FROM GOVT OF INDIA????

WILL U BE ABLE TO BLOCK THIS TYPE OF VANDALISM BY Shshshsh

do u know how cumbersome it is undo this type of silly vandalism???

this is no way beyond the scope of what you argue (6feetheight (talk) 17:50, 28 October 2010 (UTC)).

Hi 6feetheight, first of all please don't make personal attack and User:Shshshsh is not a vandal. There is no dispute that Sobhan Babu won the award from the Govt. of India. But the award is not the "National Film Award for Best Actor" and hence it is inappropriate to mention in the article "National Film Award for Best Actor". The award he won was a special one and can be mentioned in the article about the actor. Nobody will question it. Hope you understand. Salih (talk) 18:11, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

ONV

(Now) I am almost sure that his correct middle name is "Nambiyadikkal". I just don't know how "Neelakantan" came instead of "Nambiyadikkal". Now I believe somebody wrongly filled unknown middle name, then Malayalam wikipedia and English wikipedia spread it all over (because correct middle name was not available anywhere, and I didnt find any web source prior 2007) :(. First revision of mlwp article was written by me, based on my school time notes. I remember, middle name in those notes were also not clear but do not remember any reseach on that. I probably copied wrong name from some other unknown source. Please check that his father's name is Krishna Kurup and also has a middle name starting with "N", so I think there is no scope for Neelakantan in Keralite naming style--Praveen:talk 16:26, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Neatly written bio of a remarkable lady. I could see only this book cover for her image. For 'Mappila Songs', let's first try to get GA status and see how it goes.. Salih (talk) 14:22, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. I've added it there to the references. I've to add a few more categories of Songs - the Qissa pattu, a little more about marriage songs and other miscellaneous categories that actually fall under the humour category like Thenga pattu etc.
BTW I need some suggestion from you. Do you think a category wise grouping (mala, kissa, pada, oppana etc) would be better or a timeline based grouping? The former would help put things in the normal way we categorize a music genre. The latter would have an advantage in the case of Mappilappattu specifically because each genre has a very important connection with the historic situation on the time. The background of the songs need explanation in their historic context. I being a history buff would prefer the latter, but the general pattern on wiki and elsewhere seems otherwise.NMKuttiady (talk) 19:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

My knowledge in Mappilapattu and its history is very limited and don't have any specific opinion regarding the categorization. Seem to be OK either ways. Salih (talk) 17:05, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Dakoha Sadaat

Good morning Salih,

I have noticed that you have tagged my article to be deleted. The article has been posted in order to give people the knowledge of Sadaats and there background. Kindly, I would like to talk out the reason instead of the article being deleted from wikipedia.

Thank You

Please read the Wikipedia notability criteria for inclusion of biographical articles. Salih (talk) 16:15, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Salih, you shouldn't have deleted my article, especially when I placed the hold on it. Isn’t that against the policy of Wikipedia? If the article is missing some qualifications then tell me about them and I will fulfill the requirements.

Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular"—although not irrelevant—is secondary.

For example, as per the policy this topic would have been considered interested to individuals. Not many people know that Sadaats are descendents of Prophet Muhammad. There are many more articles on wikipedia.org about different Sadaat groups but there wasn’t any article about the Dakoha Sadaat. Who aren’t only descendents of Bani Hashim but they played a very important role in the area of Dakoha and Partition of Hindustan (into India and Pakistan).

First of all the article was not deleted by me. It was deleted by the administrator RHaworth. The article was deleted using the criterion CSD-A7, which is applied when the subject of the article does not make any claim of notability. You can recreate the article with proper sourcing if you feel that the person deserves a place in Wikipedia. Regards Salih (talk) 05:12, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Nonsense biography

Does this - Ajith C. S. Perera make any sense? NMKuttiady (talk) 19:02, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

The subject may be notable for his books on cricket and other activities, but the article is a highly blown up vanispamcruft and written in an extremely unencyclopedic manner, probably written by somebody who has a conflict of interest. Besides, some of the claims like Fellow of Royal Society and honorary Ph.D. seem to be dubious. I have already tagged for its 'unencyclopedic style' 'advert' nature.

Kerala High Court

Where is it? From what I've seen, it's in Ernakulam, but everywhere on Wikipedia it's been changed from Ernakulam to Kochi. Unfortunately the court website doesn't provide the answer, but the SBI in the court is in Ernakulam, that's where Google maps also puts it. —SpacemanSpiff 12:57, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

There is always confusion between Ernakulam and Kochi. They can be regarded as twin cities. To add the confusion Ernakulam is also the district where the twin cities belong. I think it is more correct to say that the Kerala High Court is located in Ernakulam, see [3], [4]. I have few colleagues from Ernakulum, and I can get the firsthand information from them, hopefully by tomorrow. Salih (talk) 17:18, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

About: St. Xavier's College, Palayamkottai

Hi, Salih. A redirect is "on foot" for St. Xavier's College, Palayamkottai to Manonmaniam Sundaranar University per Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Article guidelines#Faculties and academic colleges as discussed with Cindamuse. Your thoughts about this? --Shirt58 (talk) 13:08, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Commented at Cindamuse talk page. Salih (talk) 15:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Salih, you would seem to better placed to make assessments about the Indian University system than Cindamuse or I. It seems to be suggested from the copy-vio'd page that the College awards the degrees on behalf of the University, sort of like the Oxford and Cambridge system. This would seem very unlikely to me, but then again - despite being mistaken for a Indian - all I know about Universities in India is from reading A Suitable Boy. Perhaps we could informally "centralise" this discussion on Cindamuse's talk-page for the now, as that is where the main discussion of the article is at present? --Shirt58 (talk) 13:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Sarah Engels

I think she is notabile as a reality tv participant. Yes, tens of thousands entered in the audition stage. Yes, over 100 made it. But she made it into the Top 10 on what is the most notable tv singing reality tv franchise. Saying this would make her notable, not as a singer, but as a reality tv star. Has Wikipedia, outside of WikiProject Idol Series, which seems to be dormat, set any standards on what qualifies as a notable reality tv star? Kingjeff (talk) 05:27, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia has the notability guidelines for entertainers. A TV star falls under this category. If the article can demonstrate that it satisfies WP:GNG, you may remove the tag. Best regards. Salih (talk) 08:19, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

V. K. Krishna Menon‎

Hello Karnan, just some thoughts. Is it okay to call Krishna Menon‎ a Bengali politician just because he contested an election from West Bengal? In this context, imagine adding the categories Andhra Pradesh politicians and Karnataka politicians in Indira Gandhi. Salih (talk) 16:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Salih. Well, there was earlier a category in VKKM article saying he was a Maharashtra politician (I did not add that, it was someone else). So I added the category Bengali politician, and the more specific category Mumbai politician (removing the Maharashtra category). Both are there for the same kind of reason. I am not very keen on those categories, but either both must be removed, or both must stay. You can decide as you wish. I know that VKKM was particularly proud of his contesting from outside his home state, as a mark of his non-attachment to regional sentiments (and he was critical of Nehru contesting only from Allahabad, his home turf); VKKM finally contested his last election from Trivandrum when all options had run out (but again, he was reluctant to do so from Calicut). So perhaps he himself would have been happy to be included in those categories (not that this is very decisive, but just a remark). I don't know how Indira Gandhi viewed contesting outside Allahabad, but perhaps not so ascetically as VKKM. If Indira Gandhi is not included in those categories, and a regional tag on a politician is conferred by birth, yes, both those should be removed. Karnan (talk) 22:45, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the well thought out reply. I agree with you that we should either remove both category or keep them. So let's post this discussion on VKKM's talk page and see what others think. Salih (talk) 04:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

About Ramvali Sharma - hoax or typo?

Hi, Salih! I'm seeing WP:HOAX here, or possibly a misspelling. 5 GHits, one of which is the article itself. I'm assuming by "congress", the editor meant Congress, so surely there would be even a passing reference somewhere out there. And "Sharma" + "Congress", well I guess that's like searching for "Smith" + "Labor Party" or "Kim" + "Korean Politician". Again,there's always the possibility of a typo. It's a little bit outside my area. Your thoughts? --Shirt58 (talk) 09:12, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Re Kamal Haasan

First of all sorry for my late response. I did not do anything wrong in the article as pointed out by you long back. My explanations:

• I corrected the typo "charecter" to "Character".
• It says "After a few more films in Tamil and Malayalam, he did Naan Avan Illai" which is not true. Naan Avanillai was released before Kanyakumari, his first film in Malayalam.
• At that time I wasn't sure about this film which made me remove it but later I understood the significance of that film in his Malayalam career. But what makes Allauddinum Albhutha Vilakkum a notable film. Sommokadidhi Sokokadidhi was highly successful film released during that period.
• In the sentence "Despite his celebrated film career, his personal life had some setbacks which have been exploited by the media. In his early career, he co-starred in several Tamil and Malayalam". Kamal and Srividya have acted separately in many Malayalam films, no doubt but it says they co starred in several films which is not true. They haven't co starred in many Malayalam films with the exception of just one film where as they acted together in more Tamil films. Hope you get me. Thanks! --Thalapathi (Ping Back) 04:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Filmfare Awards South

Hi! I really found it tough finding sources before finally expanding these awards for all the four south Indian languages. Check out this [7] published by The Times of India. It clearly states that Awards for Best Actor, actress and director were given only from 1972. But check Filmfare Award for Best Actor (Malayalam), User:SidhardhRamesh has added that Sathyan won the award in 1963 and 1969. The source he has provided doesn't work. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 16:19, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

This is a little tricky issue. The source provided by User:SidhardhRamesh (http://www.manoramaonline.com/advt/movie/sathyan-40-years-down-memory-lane/profile.htm), clearly says Sathyan won the award in 63 and 69 for the films Adimakal and Ammaye Kanan respectively. It is published by manoramaonline.com which is considered to be a reliable source. But, it could well be an error. If you can point to a source which conclusively establishes the fact that the award was first given in 1972, we can safely conclude that manoramaonline is in error. Salih (talk) 16:50, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Well the source which I mentioned already was an official one. It should also be much more reliable than any other, since the awards are given by Times of India. I feel Malayala Manorama made a mistake there. --Commander _{(Ping Me)} 17:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Salih,
Why you removed Category:Non Malayali actors acted in Malayalam-language films and added Category:Malayali actors from this article. She is not a Malayali, that's why I added the categories like that. I also added explanation to Category:Malayali actors and Category:Malayaalm film actors.

She is Malayali married to a Tamilian. Her father is the famous film director A. B. Raj. Salih (talk) 07:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

She is A. B. Raj's daughter I know, but I think I also read that her mother is Tamil (which makes her mother tongue Tamil) and was bought up in Tamil Nadu (of course, I am not very sure). If you have some concrete information, could you please update the Saranya article, which will be helpful. Also, I never heard her talking in Malayalam in any interview aired on Malayalam channels. Thanks a lot.
Anish Viswa 08:22, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Mother tongue of a person need not be his/her mother's mother tongue! Since she is of mixed parentage (as you have claimed - I do not know anything about her mother) both "Malayali film actors" and "Tamil film actors" cats can be added, but definitely not "non Malayali actors acted in Malayalam-language films". Brought up in Tamil Nadu, did not speak Malayalam, etc. cannot be the basis for determining a person's mother tongue. Salih (talk) 08:55, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project

Hello,

My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.

I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video).

My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.

I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!

Malayalam Name

The clarification given to the word 'Malayalam' is undone for want of source.OK. My point is that I have seen this in one of reference books some decades ago. Now it may not be possible to trace it out. The undone wordings 'Another point of view is that the word 'Malayalam' is derived from two Old Tamil words coined together, Malai (MOUNTAIN- மலை) and Azhi (SEA- ஆழி) etc., is more meaningful in comparison with the wording ' Malayalam is derived from two words of early Malayalam - mala meaning mountain, and alam meaning PLACE'(The word "SEA" may suits more well) already appearing in the page. I think that all point of views if there is a sound reasoning could be accommodated.

Vandalism by new member

Please check the edits of new member VJose2012 (http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:Contributions/VJose2012). Most of his edits are vandalism, changing the status of all Mammootty films as hits and editing the gross to high values and changing the status of all Mohanlal films as flops and changing their gross and small values. He even removes the references which are not favourable to his vandal activities. Can something be done ?

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ram Kumar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Harish, first of all I had no intention to belittle you. If you find an article that does not have enough references, but you feel that the subject is notable, the proper way address the issue is to add reference to the article. You nominate an article for deletion only if you feel that the subject is not notable. In short AfD is not an alternative for cleanup. Salih (talk) 16:33, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I really wonder why you supporting an IP edit on a 10 months old article and object a revert by me who maintains the article. The film was released in 7 theatre and it was tracked by film communities also. Infact, my friend watched this film from Kanoos.
Please check this link. Lt. Colonel Satheesh Pandit
Anish Viswa 07:51, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Anish, first of all it is not the question of supporting or opposing an IP. Also, in Wikipedia nobody has a special rights for maintaining an article; please see WP:OWN. If you have reliable sources for the movie, you may restore the entry. Cheers. Salih (talk) 08:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I didn't tell I got a special right, don't know why you thought so. I added it to the list after confirming its entry in Mathrubhumi e-paper. As per Wiki rules I could not post that picture there. Also I provided a list of theatres from a leading film community. If you have access, please check Mathrubhumi e-paper Ernakulam edition on 23-Mar-2012.The film is also in the Sanscinema list [8]. If there is no reference available in Internet, it cannot make a event that already happened into something not happened.
Anish Viswa 09:39, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Please read WP:OR. Even the facts which cannot be reliably sourced can be challenged and removed from Wikipedia. You may add the Mathrubhumi article as a source and restore the removed content. I won't object it. You asked "why you supporting an IP edit on a 10 months old article and object a revert by me who maintains the article." from which I got a feeling that you are claiming a special status:) Cheers. Salih (talk) 09:53, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I just saw you reinsert the material without adding any reliable sources which say that the movie was in fact released. That's bad. Remember that WP:OR is a policy.Salih (talk) 09:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

deletion of DSSU

hello Salih I understand if conrad ranzan's theory is considered too fringe to be included.

Rahul Easwar

there was detailed discussion on this on talk page. Jamesbwatson, altered water, carol, etc participated & consensus was reached. it is what you give from sources that matter, i contributed to Muslim league article of yours words "alleged" & also sourced it properly. (not that you should do the same), it is wikipedia editors who read from different sources & come to informed conclusion about subject. hope you will change your stand (Alex.mathews (talk) 09:36, 29 January 2013 (UTC))

Alex, I am intrigued by your behaviour. How does it matter you contributing to the article Muslim League. You took up that article when I pointed out to you that you have COI issues. If you find something in that article contentious, just asked for the source or remove the contentious material. The burden of sourcing is on the editor who adds the material. So you'll have to source it if somebody challenges by inserting "citation needed" tag before removing the tag. By the way who is this carol? Salih (talk) 18:34, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

there is enough source & news on the subject. that is what iam pointing out. you are a person who wrote the muslim league content, there was a lack of reference to it. when I checked yours, I added it. What is there to be intrigued about. ?? carol or some carolskr & jameswatson were involved in discussion when I pitched in. I added reference there too (Alex.mathews (talk) 05:36, 30 January 2013 (UTC))

The book by Barnes & Noble is unreliable. I am not the person who wrote Muslim League content. I might have made some minor edits. Just check the history of that article before making such statements. Like you, Carol has an undue interest in Rahul Easwar article. JamesBWatson is a respected Wikipedian and he was acting in good faith. Salih (talk) 05:44, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Iam sorry to say that such insinuations was not expected from you, I also saw ur discussion with one person regarding the word "alleged", with communal clashes. Is it because of your communal attitude that you added "alleged" as the other editor alleged. I added "alleged" because that is the right thing to do there in legal language, here too, one person from unknown id, continuously pursuing vandalism are you are ok with that, and accusing others, sorry Sir. very unfortunate (Alex.mathews (talk) 05:54, 30 January 2013 (UTC))

Your English seems to be suddenly improved.:) I have communal mind set that's why I edited this article and salvaged it. Salih (talk) 06:00, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Iam sorry to say, (and proud too), My language skills are not bad & I have as much as verbal & language skills as you have. Then did I accuse you of being 'communal',i said after reading through you, I accept that you were not partial as the other person (I forgot name) alleged. that's why I supported your stand and revised in a neutral manner. I only asked the other person to come to talk page and discuss, it that a wrong thing (Alex.mathews (talk) 06:14, 30 January 2013 (UTC))

CFL condition

Hi, I think that you are wrong, and CFL condition is aplicable for stability of the discrete heat equation. See for instance an original article: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cme324/classics/courant-friedrichs-lewy.pdf or simple the discussion about CFL equations: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Courant%E2%80%93Friedrichs%E2%80%93Lewy_condition#CFL_equations regards --Gknor (talk) 15:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I have read the paper by Courant, Friedrichs and Lewy. It's about the stability analysis of different numerical schemes applied to simple linear PDEs. My understanding is that the name CFL condition is the name given to the stability condition for the hyperbolic type PDE, given by

$C={\frac {u\,\Delta t}{\Delta x}}\leq C_{max}$

Thanks for the paper. Salih (talk) 17:25, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Warning for Mammootty

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. ---London at night ^{talk to me} 03:30, 3 April 2013‎ (UTC)

First of all I did not involve in any edit warring. So, ignore warning. Most probably this user is a sockpuppet of Flowers of the world. Salih (talk) 03:42, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

This article is a bio of Mathew Samuel. Unnecessary an undue information about who are all involved in 'Operation West End' should be removed even if it can be sourced. You need to give only a brief summary of 'Operation West End' as a there is a separate article for it. You may revert to the previous version. Thanks. Salih (talk) 17:25, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Change to ping template

Hello Salih, just wanted to let you know that I changed the {{ping}} template from redirecting to {{talkback}} to redirecting to the new {{replyto}} template, which should be less cumbersome.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oru Pennum Parayathathu

It's not particularly relevant to to this discussion, but I proposed that the article about the film made from the book, Streetlight (film) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and the article about their common creator, Sankar (film director) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), be deleted.

I hope this "prods" (pun intended) the person or people who would like to keep these articles into improving them so it is very clear that both topics meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, assuming of course that the topics themselves do qualify for stand-alone articles in Wikipedia. If they do not, well, that's what deletion processes are for. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:33, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I fully agree with you. Let's wait and see if somebody comes along and add sources to demonstrate the notability. Salih (talk) 05:35, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

It seems you've not read my edit summary while reverting your edits. It's not the question of knowing Sanskrit or not.

Drishyam

I have reverted your edit in this page. It is really bad to see an experienced wikipedian like you removed the whole plot section from a film article, merely saying 'it is not fair to provide the detailed plot of the movie, especially when the movie is still running.' WP:Spoiler clearly says that Wikipedia contains spoilers and a user cannot remove content from an article because he/she thinks it spoils the plot. WP:FILM additionally says: "all of the film's important events should be outlined without censoring details considered spoilers." What is to be avoided is "minutiae like dialogue, scene-by- scene breakdowns, individual jokes, and technical detail." I guess my revert is justified. Thanks 59.161.254.21 (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

You mention WP:Spoiler for defending the material under plot section. Okay, but do you have reliable sources to cite for this content, if not, it's a violation of WP:OR and has to be removed. Salih (talk) 05:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

You wouldn't have mentioned this had you taken time in reading WP:FILM as I pointed. See WP:FILMPLOT which clearly says "Since films are primary sources in their articles, basic descriptions of their plots are acceptable without reference to an outside source." And a lot of discussions have happened related to Wikipedia's policy on writing about fiction and even you might have come across the Agatha Christie's Mousetrap issue which was covered even by Malayalam media. The concensus reached then was that you can even reveal the suspence of a movie/play/fiction whatever through wikipedia. - 59.161.254.21 (talk) 06:51, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

To be frank, I was not aware of the fact that the plot section of a film can be unreferenced. But, in my personal opinion, this detailed plot is a real spoiler for a potential viewer of the movie since it reveals every twist and turn in the story. The full plot may be inserted once the movie stop running in the theater. Best. Salih (talk) 18:18, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Know what you're doing

You have a reason to include an image while others disagree. You want to have your version which affects the status quo and expect others to discuss? —Vensatry _(Ping) 17:44, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

I know perfectly what I am doing. If you look at the article history, the status quo goes back to last October. Salih (talk) 17:49, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Know what? revert two users who are the major contributors to the article and insert your POV without even bothering to discuss? By "status quo" you're referring to last October, you mean to say that your version was more stable? —Vensatry _(Ping) 05:58, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Your tone seems to be you own the article. At present you are the only person opposing to include the image. Bill william compton did not revert my final edit on 14 September 2013 after he understood the logic and the image was there before you came on 4 November 2013 and deleted with a vague edit summary [9]. You say that I am not ready to discuss with you. Is this not a discussion? Your allegation of me POV pushing is baseless as I have cited a valid reason for not deleting the image. Salih (talk) 06:46, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

There are chances that he is not aware of your revert as he is less active these days. It seems illogical to arrive at a conclusion that he is okay with your edit based on that. When the article passed FLC, there were just three images. So if you want to make changes you should discuss first not others. —Vensatry _(Ping) 06:57, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

We don't have to discuss the same topic in two places. Let's continue the discussion on the article talk page. Thanks. Salih (talk) 07:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

do people keep making edits like these on almost all the major cities in Kerala? I'm getting tired of reverting them and do you know if these edits have any basis?

Help needed

Hi My edit on Aravind Akash is being repeatedly reverted by User:Chanderforyou. I have added personal details of Aravind Akash from his interview on Asianet News On Record programme. User:Chanderforyou claims it to be a poor source and continuously removing it. Please look into the matter. I appreciate your valuable help on this edit war.

Generally, for the BLP, we need reliable sources for any information in the article. Any editor can remove unsourced or poorly sourced information from a BLP. Unfortunately, for some reasons, the video sources are not considered to be reliable and the editor is removing whenever you add a video link. He can assume good faith and refrain from deleting the information. But, he is not thinking so. You can try adding a print source or online non-video sources to the article. If that is not possible, just leave it. It's not worth edit warring with other users. Best. Salih (talk) 09:17, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Indian Engineering Services vandalism

Hi Salih,

I understand that you are one of the major contributors to IES page and it is on your watchlist. The page is however continuously attacked by vandals and test editors. As a result of which, the readers of the article are being misled. For instance, someone wrote NIT Hamirpur Service, State Public welfare service, Indian Air Force, etc (please the see changes I reverted). I suggest that Wikipedia:Pending changes should be used to counter the above. The article is currently error free and hence should be protected ASAP before someone messes with it. Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

Since the page is on watchlist of many editors and there no persistent vandalism, "pending changes" may not be required now. Anyway, thanks for the information. I will be more alert hereafter. Salih (talk) 10:02, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

There's already a user messing with it. He has reverted the changes made by me in the previous edit. You compare both the versions and decide which one to keep. It has errors such as NIT Hamirpur Service, State Public welfare service, Indian Air Force, ESE (the exam) is written as IES which is totally absurd. Thanks! :)

I have restored the correct version. Thank you pointing out this. Salih (talk) 17:32, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your RfA participation

Hi there, a bit of a form letter from me, Cyphoidbomb, but I wanted to drop you a line and thank you for your participation at my recent RfA, even if I couldn't sway you to support me. Although I was not successful, I certainly learned quite a bit both about the RfA process and about how the community views my contributions. It was an eye-opener, to say the least. I still have no idea what you meant by "a mild form of badgering" or how my alleged "mild" badgering somehow became full-blown future badgering. Seems like WP:CRYSTAL to me, if that applied to to people. Anyhow, thank you for your efforts. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:41, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Cyphoidbomb, overall you have done a good work for the project. But, still I see some rough edges in you gnomish work. For example, by going through the article history here, I can see that recently somebody has nominated this article for deletion due to notability concerns. After that, you came and tagged it for notability. The article was taken to AfD because of notability concerns and thus putting an explicit notability tag seemed to be redundant. Okay you have put the tag, but given the AfD process was on, it was unnecessary to aggressively reinstate the tag, that too with a cryptic edit summary, after an editor removed it. In my opinion, when the AfD is on, whether the notability tag is there or not is not going to make any difference. You may add a notability tag to the article, if the AfD is closed as no consensus. Hope, you will take care of such issues in future. Best of luck for your next RfA. Cheers. Salih (talk) 06:59, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you reverted my link to Laminar flow cabinet on Laminar flow. How is this unrelated? This article is very short and could probably have an entire section on practical applications.

Indian Engineering Services

Hi Salih,

The Career Progression section of IES should have a table instead of a paragraph, where Designations of different services (Asst Executive Engineer / Asst Works Manager / Assistant Director are the only three starting posts) should be mentioned with Pay Scales, the time period to reach the Grade can be removed as it varies not only from service to service, but also in different batches of the same service (depending upon the size of the batch of a particular year). So if you help me in making the same then let me know. Thanks :)

Would you have any suggestions?

A few months ago during the eventually unsuccessful Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Piotrus_3 you voted "oppose". I wonder if you'd like to discuss any concerns of yours, or if you would have any suggestions in the event I'd decide to run again (which I am not planning to do anytime soon, but might consider in the future). For a better sense of my work and activities around the project, I invite you to consider reviewing my userpage, my talk page archives (which are not redacted), to watchlist my talk page, or use edit analysis tools like Wikichecker, content.paragr, dewkin, xtools-pages or xtools-ec (which in theory should work as of late 2014...). I would be more than happy to talk about your concerns over canvassing, I have given the policy much thought over the past year, and I would like to think I have a better understanding of it now.
