Your contributed article, Uruttu Chammanthi

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Uruttu Chammanthi. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Coconut Chutney. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Coconut Chutney - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Cindamuse (talk) 08:04, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

North Malabar

Friend, then Malayalam script will find the place in many other Indian articles... This is English Wikipedia and only the official script of the region is more than enough. arun talk 16:37, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did I call you a vandal or what??? Its just your imagination. Adding multiple scripts in the article will make it look more unencyclopedic. To form a standard is the purpose of including only the official script. arun talk 15:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mr Arun, since you are so much interested in cleaning up the pages by deleting other language scripts, I can give you some job. If you wish and allow me. I can give you pages having other language scripts. For today you plz cleanp (1) North Malabar Gramin Bank (2) Theyyam (3) Kalliasseri. Please clean up these pages. Then tomorrow I will give you another set of three. Thank you.

North Malabar, this kind of snark and personal attacks will eventually get blocked from wikipedia. You don't dictate what others can do or not do. We have explained, what the wikipedia convention about adding native scripts is. You think you are being clever by giving us clean up jobs. Keep at it, you will get blocked eventually. --Sodabottle (talk) 07:01, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Friend, you seem to be a good editor who has got a good deal of knowledge. Why are you deliberately wasting your time scribbling things such as u gonna crazy and frantic... so pity. on my talk page??? Please make good use of the account, know more on Wikipedia policy and start contributing to articles with a positive attitude. Next time you repeat this, I will be forced to report. Thanks arun talk 11:40, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I second that, your contributions are solid. You can do a lot good here. The scripts thing is just a convention wikipedia has arrived after long deliberations (lots of script wars). The official language script only policy is there to avoid this exact kind of script wars in articles. Wikipedia policy always doesn't agree with what we think is good. I have learnt to live with that. I suggest you do that too and move on.--Sodabottle (talk) 12:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both Soda and Arun, thanks a lot for the eyeopener words.--Utharamalabar (talk) 05:07, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

that is encouraging. I am glad we had some positive influence. welcome again. --Car Tick 11:41, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Manual of style

Hello, I have been going through some of the Indian food articles you have been working on. The enthusiasm you display is to be lauded!

I want to make some suggestions that can help you when creating or working on such articles:

When you create an article, please do not include instruction on the preparation of the dish. This is part of the policy WP:Not, specifically Wikipedia is not a manual (cookbook in this case). The proper place for recipes is on Wikibooks which is found here
When adding links to the "See also" an article, only add those links that are directly related to the article. Do not add a long list random links to the article that only have a tenuous relation to the subject. One such example is the coconut chutney article, you added links involving places and martial arts to an article on a food dish. You can learn more in the Manual of style on layout to see what I mean.
The same goes for the navigational templates at the found at the bottom of the article.

I hope this helps you increase your knowledge on how to edit here on Wikipedia. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 16:28, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jeremy,

Certainly your directions are helpful. These points have been noted. Thank you very much.--UtharaMalabar (talk) 11:37, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
