Anon

Hi Sarvagnya, I see that the anon is making edits only to talk pages. S/he appears to be fanatical about Tamil language. Ignore them if they're just trolling in talk pages. Tell me if they cause any trouble with articles. We need to warn them using templates like {{test-n}} etc., before taking action on him. -- Sundar 06:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!!

Thanks for your award. It surely feels good to be recognised. I will continue the effort.

Belgaum article needs a neutral approach

I wont so-called vandalise if u modify those article so as to have an NEUTRAL approach rather then a present pro-kannadi.

And please I wont appreciate such swearings and warnings when I know im not doing anything wrong. (mahawiki 08:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC))

Truth will prevail

Make that article and border-problem para NEUTRAL.

Vandalism on Belaon page

STOP PUSHING YOUR POV ON THE BORDER ISSUE ON BELAGAVI. IF YOU WANT TO WRITE OR MAKE CHANGES WHAT YOU ARE WRITING THERE, CITE YOUR SOURCES. (mahawiki 08:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)) I AM DEMANDING NEUTRAL APPROACH.STOP POSTING AGAINST MAHARASHTRA GOVERMENT.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. References are already for the Mahajan commission report. Stop the vandalism NOW!! (mahawiki 08:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC))

Sarvagnya, the issue needs an involved reading and I don't have that much free time now. Please ask in the noticeboard. -- Sundar 09:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:3RR

Hi. I read your comment on the notice-board. Please do not revert further. You have already broken rules. See WP:3RR. I will give my suggestions soon. If you continue this then both of you will be blocked regardless of who may be right. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Belgaum

Hi. I have made a few changes in the article Belgaum. See this. I have kept the use of Belgaum as a name as Belgaum is the more popular name used by the people and more importantly the media (as it is verifiable). I could not fathom what you people were fighting about. Please do not remove any citations from the text. Make changes to cited text only after discussion on the talk page. Do not revert each other again for 1-2 days on any article. I do not have time to make chages to the Belgaum district article but you could copy-paste the "Border Problem" section for now. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 19:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I have made changes to both the article now. Hope you agree with the changes. Mahawiki has agreed to the changes. If you have any problem with the changes I have made, please use the talk page of either article. I will look into the matter again tomorrow. Regards - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Those anon edits were a very bad idea. I had almost filed a case at WP:RFCU. Anyways, I am glad the the issue has cooled down. Please don't engage yourself in a revert war again (anywhere). It wastes a lot a time. As this case proved, it takes only a few minor changes and the solution is acceptable to all parties. If you again get involved in an edit-war just walk away from the article for a few hours after reporting the incident at a relevant place. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Deccan Herald - my bad. I should have checked further. Though it doesn't make a difference. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

As I said - it takes only a few minor edits and a third party to resolve any dispute. I wouldn't go as far as to call his edits vandalism. This is vandalism. All other sorts of edits cannot be reverted more than 3 times per WP:3RR. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Mahawiki's edit were MOST CERTAINLY vandalism Sarvagnya 20:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

What is editing article when admin adviced against it,editing as anonymous,deliberately provoking by removing Belgaon(its in Marathi,BTW,offical language of state of Maharashtra!)??Isnt it vandalisation??Truth is out! 21:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Final say in the matter

I am not going to reply to anyone now. I would appreciate if both of you stop bickering on my talk page. I am very much aware which versions were being fought. I do not consider any edits involved to be vandalism. What you both did was worse than vandalism. I will only reply to messages on the talk pages of the respective articles. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

re: Question

From Misplaced Pages:Removing warnings: "Actively erasing personal messages without replying (if a reply would be appropriate or polite) will probably be interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil, and this can become an issue in arbitration or other formal proceedings. Redirecting your user talk page to another page (whether meant as a joke or intended to be offensive or to send a "go away" message), except in the case of redirecting from one account to another when both are yours, can also be considered a hostile act. However, reverting such removals or redirects is not proper and may result in a block for edit warring. If someone removes your comments without answering consider moving on or dispute resolution. This is especially true for vandalism warnings."

"Furthermore WP:VAND states: Removing warnings, whether for vandalism or other forms of prohibited/discouraged behavior, from one's talk page is also considered vandalism. It is generally acceptable to remove misplaced vandalism tags, as long as the reasoning is solid."

Sarvagnya, it's vandalism to remove warning templates. However, if that user engages in such an act, please try dispute resolution without engaging in edit warring. -- Sundar 09:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Firstly i was not aware of the above and secondly i really dont deserve those warnings as I was opposing pro-kannadi views mentioned in this article.The dispute has been solved by an admin and still this chap goes no crying foul and badmouthing me.This wont help u as i wont allow Maharashtra bashing here.

WHAT ABOUT DELIBERATE ANONYMOUS EDITS WHEN ADMIN HAD ADVICED AGAINST IT? mahawiki 10:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Sarvagnya!

I have not accused u for that 'unconfirmed' word.Perhaps ur someone from a Kannadi chavunist gang is being insisting tht word.

>>the word "unconfirmed" should be replaced with "false"<< Ok I try to be as decent I can be. Perhaps u r diagonised with an mental ailment or is that u have low IQ.If i dont have any citations DO U HAVE ANY CITATIONS OTHER THAN DUMBO PRO-KANNADA NEWSPAPERS FOR UR CLAIM THAT KANNADIS OUTNUMBER MARATHIS? So I wanted that sentence to be NEUTRAL.That is logic,perhaps u dont understand it.If Kannadis were more than Marathis than How would MEA win every time there?,How can a Belgaon Mahanagar Palika uanimously pass a resolution to join Maharashtra...Has Bangalore Mahanagar Palike ever asked to join Tamil Nadu???I pity on ur chauvinism and jingoism!U have not only stripped here but also Karnataka's nototrious deeds to our fellow Maharashtrians from so long.

People who speak Marathi are Maharashtrians.Maratha is a caste.I have several Kannadis near my household and they refer themselves as Kannadis.Kannadiga is perhaps a Kannada word,like we have 'Marathi manoos' in Marathi.But I dont converse here in Kannada!!

If u stop ur vandalism and provocation,there's no reason for me to quarrel.I recommend the admin's account of Border issue.Its nice that ur not going to edit the article for few hours.Its my request plz dont edit by being ANONYMOUS or by fakey accounts and also using ur chauvinist gang.Its my promise I wont cause any trouble if u(and ur gang) doesnt act smart.

I dont mind citation of Deccan Herald for FACTS.But this crap is surely not appropriate for judgement.Come on yarr u r such a loser,it explicitly shows the Cauvery or Belgaum issue in the way u jingoists want.If DH is valid so is Maharashtra Times,Belgaon Tarun Bharat,Pudhari,sakal,Loksatta.I oppose using DH's citation for passing judgements.I really like DH,I was going on thru it.Bollywood faces shortage of some good fiction,comedy scripts...!!

mahawiki 10:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I have modified Belgaum_district so as to match with Belgaum,as u requested.Even I wont edit the page,unless Maharashtra is being targetted and NPOV is disrupted. Thanks. mahawiki 10:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

A new day

Hello. I'm sorry I could not see your message yesterday. That edit was made in very poor taste. I agree with you. Anyways, I hope the matter is resolved now. Both of you seem to have come to an agreement. I leave it to you to see that the POV of the article is kept neutral. Do leave a message on my talk page if you need more help. Regards, - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 11:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• I "bailed out" yesterday because it was 2 am, and I had to go. I will keep your suggestions in mind. There are atleast 3 people now looking at the issue (AreJay, Sundar and me), so there shouldn't be a lot of trouble now. I will look into Sandipan's edits too. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Will look at the article. I have the page on my watchlist just now. Just keep one thing in mind on that article - add a reference for everything. I prefer Template:Cite news but you can use any form of citation. If that fellow reverts any verified claims and breaks 3RR then he can be blocked. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you so ignorant?

When I read you edits on belgaum articles, I thought you know at least a bit about the area. But I guess you are an ignorant about the issue. Do you want a reference to prove Marathi is an official language used in belgaum city corporation? or you are not aware of the Urdu being used as an official language in UP?--Sandipani 21:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes! I want a reference to prove that Marathi is an official language in BCC. I am tired of saying this, but on Misplaced Pages every bit of information(especially info which are contested by other editors) has to be referenced. There is no place for original research on WP. Sarvagnya 23:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

hmmm.. I can see a lots of warnings on your page. It seems your are a trouble maker here, trying to spread the propaganda. Sorry, I was late to respond to your message, but I guess you have enough evidences about the Marathi usage in belgaum. So now don't start your original research and stop aimlessly diverting the issue towards unrelated stories including solapur, mumbai and what not. As for as possible, please don't write on my user's page. Discuss on discussion page. --Sandipani 05:33, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

All i can say to your mindless folly is- I was opposing below version of ur 'Border problem' located at http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Belgaum&diff=72456586&oldid=72356098 -

>In 1956, with the Reorganisation of States, Belagavi district became a part of Karnataka. The Maharashtra Government contested this as it wanted Belagavi district to be merged with Maharashtra instead. Under tremondous pressure from the Maharashtra government, The Mahajan Commission was constituted by the Union Government of India to look into the matter. The Commission was headed by Supreme Court Justice Meherchand Mahajan. The commission looked into Maharashtra's claims and recommended exchange of several villages between the two states(Maharashtra and Karnataka), but most importantly, rejected outright Maharashtra's claim on Belgaum city. As soon as the commission came out with its report, Maharashtra made a U-turn and refused to honour the report. Ever since then, the issue has been kept simmering by Maharashtra politicians while Karnataka has continued to press for the implementation of the report. Recently, the Maharashtra government went to the Supreme Court to press their case. The Supreme Court hasnt pronounced anything yet and Belgaum district along with Belgaum city continues as a legal and constitutional part of Karnataka state.

<--- Plz stop ur bugging.I would also request u to add Dinesh kambaadi's 'latest development' along with the mention of resentment and crticism of the centre's decision in Maharashtra.For god's sake stop bitching unnecessarily.In no way I shall allow anti-Maharashtra language in that section. I wonder why u dont allow MES's mention by Sandipani!Or is it u want to suggest that Belgaon is ruled by Kannad Rakshan Vedike or some Gowdas?Its pity that u convinently overlook facts. mahawiki 09:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Ur edits

I dont like scrabbing ur talk page but its unlikely that u see the belgaum talk page. The recent edit had a sentence- some political observers have described as a severe setback to Maharashtra and MES' stand.

is biased against Maharashtra and u have not included Maharashtra political parties reaction to this mindless decision of spineless centre!I fully believe in ur intellect to understnd this. mahawiki 10:14, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Pl dont defame and bad-mouth me

I sincerely apologise if i have had personal attack on u.If u allow,I wish to delete it (personal attacks)from your talk-page.I humbly request delete the warning on my page.Also refrain from complaining about me unnecessarily.I wish u shall co-operate whilst keeping the controversial article's NPOV impact and not fabricating any statements which may be objectional to other party.(Maharashtra,Maharashtra Goverment and Maharashtrians in this case)

The troll

Hah, okay thanks for the tip. I'm glad to see that there are sane people watching the page! --SameerKhan 07:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

No! My comment was not meant to be taken sarcastically! It would be really mean to use sarcasm through written text, as it would be basically impossible to detect. Sorry about the confusion, and thanks for your concern! --SameerKhan 08:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I also just saw that you deleted some strongly-worded comments (from a certain aforementioned troll) directed towards me on the Kannada talk page. If it weren't for your earlier comment, I'd've tried to respond. Now I definitely won't bother - it's probably not worth it. Thanks for looking out for me! :) --SameerKhan 08:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Please stop vandalising the Belgaum page.Unless u give proper citations,dont edit out the Marathi name.I have established the fact that the board is in Marathi,Plz check the citations for that.

STOP DEFAMING AND INSULTING ME OR MY COMMUNITY.

my advocacy for Mahawiki

Hello Sarvagnya,

I hope all is well. I have responded to your message on my Talk page. Best,--Amerique 23:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I think that it would be in your best interests of getting a good article to not perjoratively debate using terms like "summarily trashed" and using CAPS and also ordering perople around like "Get that straight". Thanks, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 03:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Vande mataram

Urdu translation was included because it was written by Mr. Arif mohammed khan and very relevant to that particular section. So pls dont removed the reference as well as the translation. Bharatveer 09:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Bharatveer 09:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for promptly fixing Bangalore

Thanks for the prompt rv on the Bangalore page. That was an excellent job! Take care. --Antorjal 20:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:

Hi, I've added some additional comments to the notice board. To summarize, I don't think it matters if the national anthem is in Hindi or in Bengali masquerading as Hindi, I don't see any added benefit from adding translations in native scripts to articles in the English Misplaced Pages and per your suggestion, I think we should do away with them. Hope this helps AreJay

Infoboxes for districts

Good job!!. we just need to get the pertinent information in now, including a district map. All districts should preferably have same format. Any Ideas where to get the info from?

Dinesh Kannambadi

Info is easy to get but is a little scattered. For starters, some districts have their websites. You can fine them here. Most info should be available there. Population figures are available here. In a hurry now. District maps can be found by googling or on those district websites. But I dont know if we can use them. Never used an image from anywhere. So dont know about copyright etc. More later. gtg. Sarvagnya 14:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:INCOTW

Hello. I noticed that you started new sections on Vande Mataram and other songs on the above mentioned talk page. Were you intending the comments to be places there? That talk page is only for the collaboration of the week. For topics like this, WT:INWNB would be of better use. I have moved the discussion there. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 16:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Sarvagnya — good job on the infoboxes for the districts. I was initially intending to work on improving the content of all Karnataka districts, but have been unable to do so due to other committments. The only district that I feel I was able to significantly contribute to was Bagalkot and it was my intention to model other Karnataka districts' content on this. Also, I've had a chance to create taluk-level vector maps for all districts (along the lines of the map in the Bagalkot article), but again, have not been able to upload them as of yet. Just wanted to thank you for your effort and wanted to let you know that I will be involving myself with the improvement of these articles just as soon as I can find some time. Thanks AreJay 23:48, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I typically create vectors using Adobe Photoshop. I just realized the other day that all the vector maps I created got wiped out because my laptop crashed. However, the good news is that it won't take me too long to recreate the maps. As far as your other question, I haven't contributed much to the Chennai page recently, but my understanding is that all population figures for 2006 are estimates taken from World Gazetter. I think the website also gives you estimates for towns and districts in each state. Thanks AreJay 13:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear Sarvagnya

Looks like the Mahawiki goon has started to vandalise my 1 years worth of work on "Rashtrakuta" calling it pro Kannada. We need to come together and teach him a lesson. hope you find time, Dinesh Kannambadi

Calm talk

Please try to remian calm and stay on topic as to what is appropriate info for articles. That way your chances of getting a favourable content resolution increases. And please don't call opposing edits as "vandalism". That is a form of personal attack, I am aware that Mahawiki does have a very aggressive mindset, but please refrain from responding in ways not relevant to article content, thanks, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 01:15, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

No apologies required

I made the same mistake yesterday with Portal:India! - Aksi_great (talk) 19:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Autogenerate? If you mean the text of the summary, then no - there is no way to do that. You could just copy the lead and make a few changes to it. Also check summaries at Portal:India. I copied the summaries for the initial 4 Gujarat SAs from there. - Aksi_great (talk) 19:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Stop your folly and issuing warnings for no reasons

Stop issuing warnings for no reasons.I dont even want to talk to u,let alone personal attacks.I know ur disturbed by discussions on Belgaon page.Stop taking it personally and dont come to my talk page ever.U r ignored. Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Misplaced Pages has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. mahawiki 19:31, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Sarvagnya,its enough now.When did I have personal attacks with u today?Are u OK?I didnt even READ ur comments on Rashtrakuta,forget about replies.I replied to Dinesh,not u so when did I have personal attacks on u?Why did u give me warnings?Stop this yarr.Its enough now.Just like ur badmouthing me here,did I issue any warnings?I dont want to talk to u,let alone personal attacks.Stop behaving like a child.I have even stopped editing at Rashtrakuta and busy editing other articles of my concern.This is my last warning to u.U r purposely creating a scene.Let me again tell u stop taking revenge of Belgaon issue.Make that very clear-U dont deserve my attention and bandwidth let alone personal attacks!mahawiki 20:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Sarvagnya. Please take the courtesy to voice your concerns by writing a short personal message pointing out the issues. MEchanical warnings are considered to be unfavourable unless it is used for vandals, not established contributors. Definitely there is a problem, which I have poiinted out to him. There does seem to be a vast majority of text on discussion pages which are off-topic rhetoric. The posts on the talk page shows that everybody is speculating too much about each other's personal attitudes to regional bias in India, rather than what is correct info. I think perhaps if people can put down a simple statement about what parts of the article are misleading or unbalanced I can have a look, but if people continue to have 75% innuendo and speculation on regional bias/aggro, blaming who did what edits, etc and ascribing motives then a mediator can never see what the content issue unless they sit on a computer 16 hours a day with nothing else to do but try and decipher something which is not clearly stated but is mixed into rambling innuendo personal complaints. Thanks, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 03:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!!

Thanks for your vigilance. If we have to portray history as accurately as possible, we need to be fully aware of facts (from scholarly research ofcourse) and learn to deal with die-hard people who only want to put forward their egos and fight no end . I dont think we have seen the last of this unfortunately as this bitterness is bound to surface elsewhere. Good luck!!

Dinesh Kannambadi

My ThoughtsDineshkannambadi 19:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I have put together a few additional lines into your link file . Looks fine and will sure be a big job. From my side over a period of time, contributions to Wildlife and History is for sure. I have already started to put in info/pictures into pages for various Wildlife Sanctuaries in South Karnataka and I plan to travel to north Karnataka over the coming years (Dandeli, Anshi, Rennebennur etc). I am also going to create seperate pages for Chalukya architecture (seperate pages for early/later Chalukyas), Rashtrakutas, Vijayanagara etc. I have already done so for Hoysala architecture, focussing more on elements of architecture. All this will ofcourse take a couple of years. Another intersting item that could be considered (though hard to achieve) will be pages for Kannada coinage and inscriptions, somewhere hyperlinked inside empires/kingdoms/language page. I have started on this also by photographing Hoysala inscriptions ("Kannada" page). The idea will be to if possible portray the progression of Kannada characters and prove its antiquity. For someone who likes to travel to ancient temples, this should not be too difficult. For instance, Kappe Arabhatta's poerty on stone in Badami(700C.E). I have seen a photo online taken by some Indian tourists but I dont think we should/can just copy it. I will try to contact them and see if they want to upload it into Chalukya/Kannada page. I have identified some 15 books, spanning topics of History/language that I shall order, read and input from, though as one may guess, all this will take some time.

Dineshkannambadi

Plz discuss all those contoversial matters on those respective talk pages,dont write those things on my page. Secondly lets get citation savvy.Any changes in Belgaon article should be supported by a citation.Thanks. mahawiki 06:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

To remind u again,plz discuss this things on talk page,I dont appreciate such messages on my talk pages.Plz find some citations to add 'that' information.Lastly,dont talk anything personal in ur responses.Plz try to remain civil and respect others opinion too.Thanks.mahawiki 06:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Marathi people

I just reverted because apart from adding Wadekar, I added some NPOV clarifactions to the cricketers which you reverted. I simpmly objected to your deletion of the descriptions of Indian captains and their records. Thanks, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 08:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

thank you

thank you for your comment, I do appreciate it. I assure you that I will always refuse to judge a nation based on the (mis)behaviour of individuals. best regards, dab (ᛏ) 20:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Email

Can you pls email me??-Bharatveer 04:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

I am not seeing any email option in your user page?-Bharatveer 06:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Behaviour

Please lighten your tone in discussions with other Wikipedians, especially your frequent use of the word "damn". I realise that it may be frustruating to argue with users who hold different opinions, but civility is very important to keep in mind. I have also talked to Mahawiki about his behaviour, and I hope things can be settled between the two of you. Thank you. Mar de Sin 19:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

When users have conflicts, all are held responsible for their actions. If there is someone who is more aggressive, that person is not the only one at fault. And as for the use of the word "damn", I have noticed that you used it two times in two days, once on Mahawiki's and another on Haphar's talk page. I have also noticed that you talk about Mahawiki on other user's talk pages in an uncivil manner that can be considered very offensive. No matter how bad you think he is, insulting his edits is not justice for being mean. I'd suggest that you should try to debate in a more polite way. This will get you a long way in Misplaced Pages, as being kind to those who are unkind to you can do you a lot here and elsewhere. Mar de Sin 01:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

KarNaatik and karnaatik

Hello Sarvagnya. With reference to your edit to Carnatic music, the combination "ಕರ್ನ" almost never occurs in Sanskrit. In names where modern Indian languages use "ಕರ್ನ", Sanskrit almost always has "ಕರ್ಣ". As a result, both the name of the region "Karnataka" and "Carnatic music" are written "ಕಣಾ೯ಟಕ" in Sanskrit. Take a look, for example, at the way "Karnataka" is written on page 257 of Monier-Williams dictionary (it is near the top of the third column). If this explanation answers your query, would you remove the fact tag you inserted? -- Arvind 19:56, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Kannadi/ga

I see. Well, thanks for the reply. To me, it just seems like a lame argument and a distraction from editing. "Karnatakan" would be the intuitive English term for inhabitants of Karnataka. If this is actually becoming some sort of POV dispute, you could consider using that.

Another question: is Mahawiki actually inserting "Kannadi" into articles, or just using it on talk pages? If it's merely the latter, would it be possible to just ignore him? If he's just doing it just to provoke a reaction, then ignoring him will probably take the fun out of it and get him to stop. And if not, well, some people are just stubborn. --tjstrf 20:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

Hi, I read about ur comments on Shivaji Maharaj on my talk page.I dont think ur name calling will in any ways defame him.I would request u to develop article on that Kannadi queen u talk about rather than insulting others.Remember if u think 'Chatripati' is COOOL we might also think that Chinama is HOTTT! I request u to stop ur nasty comments and for god's sake dont come to my talk page ever! Thanks. mahawiki 04:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Sarvganya you are not helping matters by jumping in and using such language. I would request you to refrain from using provocative language and terms. Let's get things on a civil note before carrying on.One request to you is not to respond as of now. Haphar 14:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I saw you removed the speedy delete tag from Image talk:Kaveri river at Tiruchirapalli.jpg, saying I dont understand this. The user Sundar who has commented above is an admin himself. Please talk to him before you tag it or delete it. Thanks. Let me explain to you what I am guessing is what happened. The image you tried to go to the talk page on is actually an image on MediaWiki, not Misplaced Pages. You incorrectly created a talk page for this image on Misplaced Pages, so the talk page is showing up as not having an image associated with it. Such pages are speedy deletable, which is why I tagged it as so. Please be careful to make comments on the talk page at MediaWiki next time, instead of accidentally creating a talk page on wikipedia for MediaWiki images. If you wish your comments to be saved feel free to transfer it, but I am going to re-tag that page for speedy deletion shortly. VegaDark 21:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Tipu sultan/hero w/e

Looks like he finally united both Hindi/Marathi and Kannada Hindutvavadi's. Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I gave him his first warning, even before you guys interacted with him. Hindutvavadi = Follower of Hindutva. Even though I've clashed with you on language pages, I'm a Hindu wikipedian first, and an Hindi-speaking second.Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Here you go.Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

1. I dont watch Bollywood
2. I'm Tamil, but I speak Hindi and read Sanskrit. If it was my preference sanskrit not Hindi would be the official language
3. I dont watch any kind of Indian movies
4. I dont even live in India
5. I'm surprised you are still acting incivil when I'm trying to support you against tipu sultan/hero/etc.

I already have enough POV fights that I'm in. I'm not interested in getting into another (Especially one I actually dont care about). As I said I'm Tamil and I could care less whether Gowda or Thackeray wins the fight. I will add that Karnataka is the better state because its ruled by a BJP ally.Bakaman _Bakatalk 23:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
