PlanetChess

Hello KNM,

We are attempting to link to games files in our databases, IN EXACTLY the same manner as Chessgames.com, (For Example) which is a commercial site with a product for sale.

Each time we list the External Link for the asssociated play, they are removed and once we were told we were spamming.

If we are providing a resource, in exactly the same manner as the other sites, then why does this rule not apply to them as well?

Confused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PlanetChess (talk • contribs) 01:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi KNM

Sorry for uploading the second lake image in Bangalore article. you are right... doesn't make sense to add another image...! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aandu (talk • contribs) 13:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

hi

May I know why you have revereted my undo, Is it irrelevant to specify that Kannada is 3rd oldest Indian language after Sanskrit and Tamil. Regards... —Preceding unsigned comment added by IndiWorld (talk • contribs) 12:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Happy Rajyotsava

Congrats to you also!!. Finally after a gap of more than one year we have a main page article.Dineshkannambadi 00:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Exciting. Happy Rajyotsava to you too. Gnanapiti 00:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

ರಾಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸವದ ಶುಭಾಷಯಗಳು. Exciting to see Karnataka on Main page. -- Naveen 02:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

There are two images I took at Belur that somehow ended up in wiki commmons, though I did not put it there. How shall we resolve this.? Image:Belur sthambha-buttalika.jpg‎; Image:Belur madanika.jpg‎; Dineshkannambadi 12:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Images on commons

I may be wrong, but I thought that I saw somewhere that the Commons had different rules about images, and that sometimes they deleted images without notifying the uploader on Misplaced Pages. Then the image would no longer be available for Wikipeidia. Is that not a danger? Thanks. --Mattisse 14:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

bot

I see that snakebot has been adding Tamil and Telugu bot names at the bottom of the articles for Vijayanagara kings. What exactly does the bot do when it adds a vernacular stuff like that. Does it make that article available for that language wiki? If so, why dont I see a Kannada equivalent being done? How can it be done?Dineshkannambadi 18:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

That bot adds interwiki links. That is, adding links to the same article in different language wikipedias.

If the article exists in Kannada wikipedia, then its interwiki link should get added by this bot. - KNM 18:50, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

For example, see this edit. It has added Misplaced Pages article links from Kannada and Telugu language wikipedias, for the article Madikeri. Thanks - KNM 19:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I wonder who is moving these images to common. one more :Image:Buchesvara Korvangla.jpg.Dineshkannambadi 18:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

So its just a link to the existing English language article, not a translated article. Right? Which means a Telugu article could have an entirely different content compared to the English language article it is linked to. BTW, i notied KN has <5000 article, Telugu has 35,000.Dineshkannambadi 19:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

ThanksDineshkannambadi 15:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I see it was promoted, during the very time that I was composing my comments! DK will surely read it where it is, and could act on it if he wishes. It is a good article in general. Regards, ImpuMozhi 21:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

Hey, I think you have a very bad impression of me after you saw me using my sister's PC, and even reporting this to an administrator. This led to my block, but I was shortly unblocked. What I wanted to say, is that it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a bad editor. Plus, I know the article of Preity Zinta makes you very angry, especially when I'm a major contributor to it. If you want to tell me something, no need to use the edit summary for that. I'm open to criticism, and if you see me being a bit rude, please let me know and tell me that. Best regards, Shahid • 18:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Responded in your talk page. - KNM 18:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help anyway. The article was not promoted, but I think it was a learning experience, wasn't it? Shahid • 18:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

It certainly was. Thanks, - KNM 18:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I very much doubt that the article is way off a feature if many experienced editors supported it. We had clear supports from several adminsitrators and respected users who are very experienced in FA's and wikipedia -now if the article was way off why would they have supported it? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 19:10, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there! Blofeld. Hope you remember we both worked on several DYKs in the past. :)

Regarding Zinta, yes the article is far away from FA quality, and that is my opinion, and you are welcome to differ from it, and so are several other editors. Also, I have given ample review comments which clearly say, what resulted in me coming to this opinion. Cheers, - KNM 19:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I removed only Blofeld's comment which was cleared out and you can ask him, he will say that there is no problem. And, I removed the unreliable sites which were no longer in the article. Thanks, Shahid • 01:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Just a personal point, that's so sad that I'm now considered to be an editor with a bad history, who needs guidance at everything. Just because I was blocked after this another user hadn't discussed things on talk pages (like he does now), which led to my block of a 3RR rule, pulled by another one. My truly best regards, Shahid • 02:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I really don't know why this sentence is bad. She says that she learnt. So what's the problem? Nobody says that she is today. We write "as a child" - Ok - I'm going now. Tomorrow I'll think of a better way to add it. Regards, Shahid • 02:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Angelina Jolie has a quote of her about her self-cut. Why Zinta can't have quote which indicates that she was popular at school and liked her life at school? Sorry, disagree. Shahid • 02:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for editing the page friend. Yet, I must have disagreed with some removals. I've added them back things like "groomed in a...", "infrequent visits" (removed this actualt phrase "infrequent visits" - yes, I realised it's a POV), and literature; but rewrote keeping major neutrality. Please don't revert unless you disagree and want to discuss it. And please don't get angry, because we are on good terms now, and I'm considering you a very good editor (I know my opinion is not so important, but nevertheless...). I just want it to be as much informative as possible, like in Jolie's page. Your help is really much appreciated. Best regards, Shahid • 02:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't intend to offend you, but I think it's more informative now than it was after your edits, because many things were removed. I didn't revert. My best regards, Shahid • 08:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I think your act was not right dear KNM. When it was obvious that many users who were objecting its FAC promotion and had some problems with me, would suggest to delist it. Shahid • 10:56, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Tell me please, what problem do you have with self claims? Everything of her background life is actually told by her. Jolie can have self claims and Zinta cannot? You also reverted my edits. Please reply. Shahid • 16:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I have no interest in this image at all, but please stop labeling it as a speedy deletion candidate when it is not. Please remove the watermarking or use WP:IFD to delete it instead of wasting administrator time by insisting on the wrong process. Thank you, Kusma (talk) 19:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

Hello KNM!

To avoid one more tiff with you and another opportunity of you going to an administrator to say that I own the page, please tell me, what's wrong with the distinct actresses fact when it's very well referenced? And why saying that Dil Chahta Hai is a romance which depicts... etc a POV again? Have you seen Jolie? Gia paragraph? The film depicts a world of sex, drugs and drama. So please explain the point. Please reply. Thanks, Shahid • 17:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok. We are all in the article talk page. --Dwaipayan (talk) 17:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

KNM, please stop you. I don't own the article, I removed the surprise stuff. Here is the quote - "Credited with bringing a change in the image of Hindi film heroine, the dimpled lady from Himachal is known for her steadfast approach and honesty." What do you say? I don't know if you are Indian or not but please tell me how you interpret this quote from the ref. Shahid • 19:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Please see this. Thank you, - KNM 19:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

You poke fun at me now. Thank you for that. Shahid • 19:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

What do you want from me guys? Could you please stop it? You have also reverted my edits. Not a whole revert, but you have also violated th 3RR rule, if I did. And I can provide diffs. Shahid • 19:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Staying away

Hi! Both of us have not interacted with Shahid prior to this Zinta article's FAC. However, we (you and me) know each other to some extent. And from this acquaintance, I am forced to tell you, do not stay away. The article is shaping up well, and should not be difficult for an FAC in 1 week or so, provided editors like you continue copyediting and improving. I have gone through majority of the citations, and maximum ~7-10 needs replacement (for the time being, I am not counting boxofficeindia website as debatable). The language is also improving. Let's give it a try :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 23:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of List of songs sung by Rajkumar for others

Review request

Hi. Could you take a look at Satellite Instructional Television Experiment and make suggestions for improvement at the talk page. I plan to take it to FAC asap. Thanks. And congrats on your many DYKs. - Aksi_great (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the prompt review. I will try and expand the technical section. The article will probably end up being less than 30k. Don't know if article size is a criteria for FA. Will check that out. Images are going to be a problem. The only things that can be done is to add more maps if possible as there is almost nothing on the web about the experiment. - Aksi_great (talk) 18:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Could you take another look now? I have expanded the article a bit (20k now, Indian Standard Time is 17k). The Technical details section has been expanded. I have added a new section on international collaboration. My feeling now is that the article is as comprehensive as it can get. I have also merger the End of SITE section with the Impact section. And no more images can be found, we'll have to do with the 3 that are there on the page. - Aksi_great (talk) 11:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

images

KNM, How do I enter info on my user page about the images I have contributed to WIKI. For instance for templates , we write {{xxxyyyzzz}}. How do I do that and create a list of all the images so people can just pick it off my user page.Dineshkannambadi 18:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

All the 300+ images? Or will it be a new click into a page kind of a thing like you guys have for DYK's, etc? Fortunately, I have all my image names stored in a text file to cut and paste from.Dineshkannambadi 19:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Re to quick question

No we do not have the mention of catalogs (I read the article a while ago, as far as I remember there is no such mention). Ok, am removing catalog.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:17, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: PR

Indeed, after seeing that edit, I told Shahid on his talk page to refrain from such behaviour. It is sometimes very difficult to make people understand that this personal stuffs ultimately leads to damage for the article. I am trying my best. Thanks for not furthering it there. And BTW, Mysore seems on its way to FAC, great!--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: PR

I thought that I would go for a PR too initially. But then I thought that this being a short article, I could handle comments during FAC itself. I will go through the article once again with fresh eyes and remove the small mistakes like spellings and units etc. - Aksi_great (talk) 18:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

indiafm.com

Wow that's great that you've created an article for that, but one user removes content. He's removed "popular" (fine for me), but he'd also removed it: "The website provides news related to Indian film industry, particularly Bollywood, film reviews and box office reports."

This doesn't need a ref even. Shahid • 18:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, fine. Thanks - KNM 18:46, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I meant to send it to Dwaipayanc. Came to you by mistake (if you didn't get it). So stop removing it. Thanks, Shahid • 18:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

picture removal from Karnataka

Hi KNM

I again removed the picture on demographics in karnataka after you had undone it once. Please look at the figure, the numbers are horribly wrong, they are not in agreement with the census figures and the numbers in the paragraph alongside. The % of Christians in Karnataka is 1.91%, but the figure there contributed by indiandefence is showing a glaring error with a number of 11%.

So please dont add that diagram until it is rectified to be in agreement with census, wikipedia should not be circulating bogus data around.

I wish you had discussed before you reverted a good faith edit - edit warring is very much frowned upon. Please add to the discussion at WT:CRIC. --Dweller (talk) 16:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and btw, almost all of the edits made to Bollyline before the merge were by cricket WikiProject regulars. --Dweller (talk) 16:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, looks like you have misunderstood. I have no intention of edit warring here. I can self-revert my edit, and I will. The point I was making being, for any article, before merging we need to use appropriate template, and should provide enough time for the other editors to discuss. Also, the ideal place for the discussion is article talk page, whose link would automatically appear through merger template. I hope this clarifies, and I am going to self-revert. Thanks - KNM 16:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Million plus cities

I had developed the Template:Million plus cities in India based on data of Census Commission of India on the web. Now Census Commission has removed that data. Many editors are editing the template without any reference data, and I am rather helpless in preventing it. Therefore, I felt that without proper reference the template is somewaht redundant. As such I removed some of the templates. If some one wants to maintain it, I don't have any objection. - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 03:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi KNM, yes, thanks..I was keeping that at the back of my mind while I responded. Incidently, if you have the time, please share your opinion on the ongoing discussion on the talk page. My personal view was that there were far too many unnecessary images that affected the article both from a formatting and relevence standpoint. Thanks AreJay (talk) 01:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

KNM, seems like there are two articles for the Chennakesava temple in Somanathapura.

Namaskara KNM, I just wanted to comment on your talk page first since it took me a good 10 minutes to even comprehend what had happened. I most certainly applaud your honorable intentions in trying to diffuse a(nother) potential firestorm as a result of the post; however, we shouldn't remove material posted by another user (however noble the intent behind the removal); in fact, typically, only the editor making the post may withdraw comments by using the <s></s> tag and not hard-deleting the post en toto. I'll go ahead and re-insert the editor in-question's post on the Talk page; however, I will not respond to it (as you've done that already) except to state that you have responded to the editor. Thanks for all your hard work...I hope you understand the spirit of my comments...tappu tilakobedi :) AreJay (talk) 23:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for the link. I was aware that some such tool was being used on the India page, but I hadn't seen the code until you pointed me in that direction. I took a look at the code and it's exactly what I had in mind...using a random number to randomize which images are used. In fact, since we already have a basic template to work with from the India page, I can fairly quickly put something together for Bangalore as well. Let us work to shortlist some images in the discussion page and then we can randomize 2-3 images based on consensus. Thanks AreJay (talk) 23:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Nikkul's 3RR

Hi, sorry didn't see this message of yours earlier. Nikkul has actually made 4 rvs today, at 4:03am, 4:06am, 13:13 and at 14:22. Per WP:3RR definition, "A revert, in this context, means undoing, in whole or in part, the actions of another editor or of other editors..n editor does not have to perform the same revert on a page more than three times to breach this rule". I didn't want to report him because I'm lucky enough to find some time these days to dedicate time to WP and I would rather not use that time to fight with other editors and report people for violations. BTW, I'm working on the random image generator as I write this, since Dinesh also expressed an interest in such a utility. AreJay (talk) 23:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support on 2007 Cricket World Cup against editors who reverted me.

Poverty of India Image

There is a discussion going on regarding whether or not the following image should be a part of the Poverty in India page. Most Poverty in *Country* pages do not have any images, at most 1. User:Otolemur crassicaudatus has brought many images showing extreme poverty in India and has tried to mislead people into thinking this is the way a majority of poor Indians live. There is a vote in which your input would be appreciated. You can find this discussion here

I feel that the the Bodhgaya Beggar image does not represent poverty in India correctly because:

This can be applied to this because a very tiny fraction of poor people in India are disabled. Most work very hard trying to make a living for themselves. This image is misleading. Nikkul (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

KNM, in your talk page this user has made wild accusations on me. I will request you please read the relevant sections on Talk:Poverty in India to give you an inside in this user and to understand who is incivil. You please read the texts like these , , . The Bodggaya beggar image is more appropriate than others because:

• You may know, many beggars live a condition like this, many of them have various disabilities.

There is no "typical" definition of poverty, or beggar. There are abled beggar, disabled beggar. The purpose of the article is depicting poverty. The other beggar images which this user want to place deleting the Bodhgaya beggar image are not good quality, one is B&W, and the other depicting a beggar girl in Ladakh. But my objection here is that Ladakh is quite different from rest of the country because of its geographics. Majority Indians live in plain. And this Bodhgaya beggar image is showing poverty at its most extreme level. It is not right to conceal the situation of poor men like this, it is the truth, the reality. This image touches the heart of the reader, which is a real situation. Yes not all beggars are disabled, but is this an argument? On the other hand it also can be said that not all beggars are abled. Our job here is not to understand who is abled, or who is not. But to find a good image which is representative of many.

• This user is repeatating his arguments and has taken a densive position by his ad hominem attack on me. Any one do not agree with him, here I am trying to depict poverty, and he is labelling me as Indophobic. There are other editors who honoured me for my contributions. The only reason given against this image that "since all beggars have not messed up legs, this image is undue". But it is an anti-individualistic argument. So what if not all beggars do not have messed up legs? The fact is that such secenes is a reality and it would not be right to conceal it. Such scenes exists, it is the truth. If it is reality, if such scenes exits, then an article depicting poverty i.e. "the condition of lacking full economic access to fundamental human needs such as food, shelter and safe drinking water", only those images should remain which clearly illustrate this fact.
• This user has informed many partisan editors, like User:Bakasuprman about the image. This user also informed this to banned Hkelkar socks. I will also request you check this user's contributions. Please remember the article is not about India, but the article is about poverty. This article is not depicting India, depicting poverty in India. So such image is not deriding India, it is illustrating the poverty in India. This image, I think, will be very appropriate. I have told you why I am supporting the includsion of this image. Regards.

Kumble's Wickets

My bad, I did not have access to the cricinfo site when I changed that to 604, but Anil Kumble on wiki was and even now is showing 603 wickets, so I changed it here. I will fix the cricketer's page. and I think even on Indian Cricket Team Records page also.DesiStrider (talk) 15:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 1 February, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John William Hansen, 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.

Congrats! Ruhrfisch _><>° 05:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Sachin Tendulkar ODI Runs

I saw that template you have created. It is quite useful, but is there some way we can include Matches and Averages in templates? Because that will make it much easier to update that as well. I have seen time when the matches are not updated, and only runs are. Once everyone gets used to this single point update for runs, the match and average stat will rarely get updated as people anyways forget to update them.DesiStrider (talk) 17:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks good, I guess you are right about the average. Other than his personal stats, the average (only test) shows up only for the best test average for India and that keeps changing with every match with him and Dravid exchanging ranks. Thanks for creating it.DesiStrider (talk) 16:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Kann lit

I was not sure. I will take it off. BTW, please find time to take one section at a time and copy edit and provide feed back. I need one more week though, to finish the last section. Dineshkannambadi (talk) 17:59, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

It would be nice to add an image caption that includes a famous quote from the modern poets. Gokak's famous statement was "Mother tongue is the language of the state". I dont remember where I read it though.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 18:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

A question about usage of upper or lower case in English disambiguiation of titles of local literature. Sangoli Rayana dange is "The Revolt of Sangoli Raya", but how about a title which does not contain a proper noun, such as Mudramanjusha (is it "Seal Casket" ot "Seal casket"). My take is I just need to be consistant.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 13:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
