India

Hello. I'm sorry, but Fowler and I have already explained our reasoning on the talk page — several times. Please study those replies. This is not about a revert war; it is instead about summary style. Nichalp, Fowler, I, and others have just spent several days cleaning up the article by removing excess detail, advertisements, listcruft, etc. To prevent the article from degrading again, we must insist on being firm in upholding WP:SS from now on. However, we are encouraging contributors to add information on flora and fauna or the military. Focusing on those topics would help more than endlessly adding new items to already representative lists. See Australia or Bangladesh for what I mean. Regards.

Hi - take a look at {{PD-India}} - this is the official copyright policy and the tag you'll need when you upload an image. Rama's arrow 23:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And yes - all images before Jan. 1946 are public domain even if the book was published later. Rama's arrow 00:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Hi Blng, I recently created this article. There is still some work that needs to go into it(mostly cpedit/grammar/spelling/wikilinks etc.,) but otherwise, it is almost complete. I was wondering if this will qualify for DYK. How do I go about it. Thanks. Sarvagnya 22:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is certainly long enough, an article does not need to be very long or comprehensive at all to be included (WP:DYK guidelines) such as Mahinda or Jambuka or Channa (Buddhist) - so it doesn't have to be more than a start-class article. DYK is for new articles, up and coming stuff. It is not really strict on grammar, sentence flow, etc, but it still must be WP:NPOV and sourced - and not the subject of tags like {{cleanup}}, {{tone}} - at the moment the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone, it has contractions "isn't" - it has POV things like "being the most important ones" (say who regarded them as such and why) - you also italicised part of the lead to emphasise a point, which isn't allowed as a reader must make up their own mind. You appear to have imported commentary from newspapers like "the then ruler of Mysore is even today fondly remembered as one of the greatest rulers to rule Mysore<by whom>, not to mention that he had the services of Bharat Ratna Sir M Vishweshwarayya to assist him" and "What had until then been confined to mostly muted protest, soon found a voice. This institution was the fruit of tireless efforts by Sri Gangadhar Deshpande at a time when Marathi language and culture had an overbearing presence in Kannada land" - even though newspapers and magazines user hyperbole and dramatic words (WP:WEASEL, WP:PEACOCK) when reporting, we can only import the facts to Wikipedia in unemotive language - otherwise cricket articles, eg will end up with stuff like "unbelievable performance", "abominable performance", "abysmal collapse". If some scholar made an assessment, we say "Wisden rated Sachin Tendulkar as the 2nd best batsmen ever" or "Wisden described Virender Sehwag as the "most exciting batsman in international circket"" (see their articles) - we can't just put it in as a statement. I think a good article to look at encyclopedic tone is Partition of India. Aside from that Template talk:Did you know is the place to put your nominations, under the date of creation.

You can also see my DYK list on my userpage to see what is expected - it doesn't have to be great. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal Karnataka

There is a typo in the 2nd line of "Hoysala Empire" I think. I did know how to reach the page so I am letting you know.Dineshkannambadi 17:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unification of Karnataka

You have written a very well organised and informative article on unification of Karnataka. Congrats. Where did you manage to get all such detailed information? Gnanapiti 17:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the new "type" of award. By the way, I saw your article, "unification of Karnataka". It looks great. I can fax you some very useful pages from Dr. Kamath's book, literally some 70 pages worth, about creation of modern Mysore, Reunification of Karnataka, rennaissance in Kannada literature and so on. You will find this very useful. Are you interested?Dineshkannambadi 21:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the unsigned edit (in the Consolidation and Continuity sections) prior to your last edit on architecture also by you. Just making sure.Dineshkannambadi 14:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know?

On 29 November, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Unification of Karnataka, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

South Indian Cinema and Music Award

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

Your reverts

What exactly is your problem with the passage you removed in Carnatic music? Every sentence in that has been cited properly. Please don't revert without giving reasons. Thanks Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 05:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At least have the etiquette to answer my questions in the talk page. Your silence points to shades of vandalism rather than concern for the integrity of WP. Thanks Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 07:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have answered none of my questions. the seven sentences in the paragraph uner discussion which statements are false, and misleading untruths? Each sentence is cited. More than you can say about the rest of the article. Parthi ^{talk/contribs} 09:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its sarvajna not sarvagna sarvagna

sarvagna - one who destroys everything sarvajna - one who know everything.

By the way I have taken a work of uploading all sarvajna vachanas to internet and translate them into english and few foreign languages.

You can view several vachanas of sarvajna from this link

Kannada script in Hoysala Infobox

I have had to remove this per reviewer recommendation. Do you know how to reinsert this on top of the box, instead of in the box.? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dineshkannambadi (talk • contribs) 18:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Hoysala Empire

Sarvagnya, Hoysala empire has become a featured article. Thank you for your many contributions.Dineshkannambadi 17:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I respect your devotion to you mother tongue. However, insulting Hindi and Devnagari is not a way to improve your mothertongue. That way, you will only defame India. India had to fight a lot of pitfalls of regional divisions to overcome from its colonial masters. If we continue fighting amongst ourselves, we will never overcome our common enemies of poverty, hunger and ignorance. India will always lag behind. In this regard, i request you to please remove the sarcasm that you had posted on article about our national anthem. I am a minority in India and my language in not even listed as a national. However, I do not insult others for that. Please behave constructively. I am sorry if I overstated myself.

Haridasa

Please see the edit by user:Intwiz. This is interesting considering he is a new editor.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 00:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anton Balasingham

You have embroiled in an edit war situation in an article that was properly written from a neutral point of view WP:NPOV without any major edit wars till then. If you want to tag him as a terrorist find a reputable sourceWP:RS, that should be verifiableWP:V and neutral WP:NPOV that calls as such. Discuss it in the talk page, get consensus from other wikipedians and if no such consensus is available ask for comments (i.e follow Wikipedia process). Drive by editing in controversial subjects without an in-depth knowledge of the controversy, subject matter and the wiki process can only create a non harmonious environment. Also I could have reported you to admin for breaching the 3RR rule but I am not going to as I want people to cool down discuss and reach a consensus as to the tag issue. We are all Wikipedians here volunteering our precious time so let us respect each other for that. Just my opinion RaveenS 14:10, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
