Dear sir, My link to carnaticindia.com is repeatedly being removed from the page carnatic music. I would like to have a genuine logical reason for this impertinent act. please provide a valid explanation for the same. I am sutre the site contains details only regarding carnatic music and nothing else please be understanding in this matter. regards, Krishna

Melakartha Ragas Scheme merger

I also saw you have suggested a merging of melakartha raga scheme determination into the main page discussing melakartha ragas. Please do it when you find time. Cheers. Charukesi 01:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• • • I think that is ok. I actually wrote the algorithm part and I dont know if it is actually published somewhere. As you said, guess it is not within rules to include original stuff. Otherwise, ya..good job. Thanks for the neat work -Charukesi 22:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Ayyavazhi Templates

What Vaikunda Raja??? Comming to the matter, I am going to work on Ayyavazhi templates. The Trinity redirect to Ayyavazhi Trinity. And the Thrimurthis I am going to give certain links. Let me improve. Good luck for your haaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrd work on Ayyavazhi related works. - Paul Raj 06:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Dear sir, The entry of the site www.carnaticindia.com has been block repeatedly. Please include the site in carnatic music section of wikipedia. You can check the site for yourself and find for yourself the relevancy of the same. I humbly request you not to avoid it further,

yours truly, Krishnaraj

kurukshetra war

I did not remove the links to already existing war pages. You can check that. I just removed those links from the fifth day onwards, which do not even deserve a separate place. Moreover, the article itself lacks the information from 12th day onwards.nids(♂) 11:15, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not blaming you for anything. I just suggested that the separate links for fifth day onwards are redundant, and may never be made into separate articles. If they are made we can always reintroduce the wikilinks, but by then I just suggested that those links should be removed. Rest is up to you.nids(♂) 20:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Sound of India

Venu62: SoundOfIndia.com is a legitimate music site, providing comprehensive online reference material since more than 6 years now. Is there any reason you are removing it from Misplaced Pages? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apollo45 (talk • contribs)

Just to be fair to both of you, regarding this edit, Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. . Don't call others trolls. --Ragib 06:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

My response from Ragib's Talk page:

Ragib, Bharatveer's initial accusation of my making personal attacks were not well founded as he took a simple typographical error to be an attack on him. I pointed this to him in his talk page. I only removed his comments from my talk page (the first time I have ever done that) is because I got fed up with the unreasonable comments by this user. I clearly see these comments as trolling. My edit history said rm trolling. I never called Bharatveer a troll. If you could advise Bharatveer to show some good faith in other editors, I think it can help him improve his contributions to WP.

Ayyavazhi

I was noting your earlier Ayyavazhi related works.

Why are you calling me Vaikunda Raja? Also in the previous discussions??

Comming to the matter, 'Ayyavazhi - Completely Non notable unrecognised sect' Please explain this.

Then may be Ayyavazhi (regarding no.of followers) may not be equal to major religions Christianity, Hinduism etc. But look the pages where I added Ayyavazhi in Religious history, First Man and woman. Where all the religions (groups) mentioned notable like major religions.

So please understand. Don't remove. It may have mentioned earlier where it is not notable. But taking that as a reason don't remove it from every where, Please.

Then If you think that Ayyavazhi is restricted only to few districts in Tamil Nadu, You are mistaken. You may not have known. But there are university papers to prove. If needed I shall give or cite. So pls understand.

More over if you find time we shall discuss for (every futher insert) inserting on further more pages or to remove . And if nagative facts highlighted we shall remove.

Once again please understand. Thanks - Paul 23:05, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Again calling Vaikunda! Let it be so

Then

Number of Adherents- Since not officially recognised there is no chance for a officially valid list. Then from Ayyavazhi head-quarters there are several listings based upon membership in Thangals I think. Let me try to find. Roughly telling I've heard many of them telling as over a million.

On the other hand, friend see the declaration of official Holiday. You can't say that it is like a local Holiday given for some other temples like Velankanni. Because, for no temple festivals in Tamil Nadu more than a district will be declared as a holiday.

But, three dists were declared as a Holiday. Just more than 15 percent of the three districts populaton will comfortably cross this border. Even for local holidays a considerable percent population more than this is claimed.

Spread of Ayyavazhi outside Tamil nadu.

From a reserch paper from Madurai Kamarajar University, Dr.R.Ponnu in (Sri Vaikunda Swamigal and The Struggle for Social Equality in South India, says, "At present, thousands of Pathis (Nizhal Thangals) are seen through out the Various parts of South India" He also told that (Down in the Paragraph about Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli dists) , "In these two districts it is very difficult to see a village with-out a pathi". This is the reason for the declaration of a holiday. These two are three districts are havily populated but on the other hand the Ayyavazhi population scattered through-out South India. But not hevily as these districts.

Another book (Ayya Vaikundarin vaazvum Sinthanaiyum)(Tamil) from the same university says (Author N.Krishna Nathan) that "60% of the Thangals are runned by Nadars and the rest by others". Which means 40 % is out side Nadar caste. That is the spread of Ayyavazhi in south or whole of Tamil Nadu is more among Nadars and outside Tamil nadu the spread is among other people.

The book Religion and Subaltern Agency from Madras University also says the presence of Thangals across the country mainly many parts of Tamil Nadu and some Kerala Parts.

And Dr.Poulose in his book Advaita Philosophy of Brahmasri Chattampi Swamikal, says the presence of Thangals through-out India. It doesn't mean that the wole Indian parts are of Ayyavazhi followers. But as your general vision, it should not be mistaken that it's spread is confine to two or three districts of Tamil Nadu or Nadars.

This University books are with me and there are sevral University books which gives such details is not with me. Then these are external and valid nutral views.

Then the official recognition from the Indian govt only doesnot make a notability to religion. The recognition will come after a sereis of deed and all. These are university papers.

If there are a million people and climing for a religion and the Indian Government does not recognise it as a religion. The people don't call them as Hindus. Does it mean that they are Hindus really? This is in the case of Ayyavazhi. They don't call them as Hindus. And the niversity papers itself is proof.

Then the official govt recognision itself don't bring a notability for some thing at all. If so are the university papers not genune? It says about the underlying reality.

Then from the pages you removed Ayyavazhi see the other pages (other than major beleifs) liked to there. I feel Ayyavazhi is more notable than that. Please understand. - Paul 00:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Policy for MapsDineshkannambadi 01:16, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear Venu, I have a good book, one I have often referenced for history of Karnataka which also comes with good maps, indicating geo. spread of kingdoms. What is the policy to create maps. Can I photocopy, then scan and create jpg file for each map, and later quote the source of the map when I upload into Misplaced Pages? How do you do it/

Your edits at Hindi

You do not seem to read the links that have been provided at the Hindi article. Your latest edit is wrong. Revert it ASAP. The 22 languages of the eighth schedule are not the official languages of India. Why are you making false assumptions and pushing your POV. There is one and only one languages of the Union of India, and that is Hindi. Read the links or else I will have to write to Administrators for arbitration and complain about your vandalism. --APandey 05:03, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Higgins

You're certain that Higgins's first name was "Jon" and not "John"? Badagnani 01:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Carnatic spamming

Whatever you recommend. I wouldn't have a problem with the links if they actually talked about the instruments or artists whose articles they were being added to. Badagnani 03:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Chaunk

By the way, I made an article for the cooking technique chaunk. I don't know if you're knowledgeable about cooking but I would like some Indian people to check the article for me, if you have time. Badagnani 03:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it's a Bengali term. Marathi is Maharashtra right? They should use a similar cooking technique. I think it must even figure into sambar as well. Thanks for checking into it for me, though. Badagnani 06:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Carantic

Hey I was informed that forum links are anyway not allowed, so I wont be putting them back. Sorry for all the trouble.--Kris 21:25, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

what category is this?Dineshkannambadi 02:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

In the Chalukya page, there seems to be a category that does not belong there -->"Articles with unsourced statements". Is this supposed to be there? I think all info on the page is sourced quite well and references provided.

Excellent work on Ragam Thanam Pallavi!

I'm just dropping you quick note to say well done on your speedy cleanup work on the article Ragam Thanam Pallavi. I came across it while patrolling new pages created today by the same editor who created it and noted that, while it certainly did seem to be a topic of importance, the article was in dire need of work. I come back a little later and find that in less than an hour you've picked up on it and fixed it up wonderfully! Sterling work there - in fact, in light of your edit history to other related articles, I reckon that deserves a barnstar! ~Matticus _C 10:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar

Photos

Hi Parthi. just wanted some clarification regarding uploading photographs. A friend of mine visited Badami/Pattadakal/Aihole and took many photos of Badami Chalukya monuments there. He is not too interested in uploading his pictures on to Misplaced Pages but does not mind sending me the pictures to do the same. Is it ok for me to upload his photos, so long as I mention who took the photos and that i have full permission from him to upload it on to wiki?

Trimurti

Venu, I made more changes to views of Trimurti within Hinduism. can you fix the section to have the references as footnotes?

Regarding my edits on Carnatic music

How knowledgeable are you on this subject? And why reversal of all edits? Some of them have not been talked about, I checked.--Kris 20:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I dont care a hoot about whether you are an Aussie or not. You have a POV issue here, and perhaps (past) personal issues with me (you call me names, dont you). I have already mentioned that I am Tamil myself, and that I am a longtime listener of this art foem. Please dont make Misplaced Pages a ground to promote vested interests or linguistic chauvinism. Please you learn to "discuss" in the relevant discussion page before calling the world black. I repeat there is no Tamil (or any other kind of linguistic) trinity recognized in Carnatic Music. If you have a problem, you discuss in that page before branding me.--Kris 23:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, any citation should be valid, not questionable or propoganda stuff. Search for google about the "tamil carnatic music trinity" and tell me how many results point toward affirming your assertions.--Kris 23:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

You say "All past changes have been discussed and agreed", "The changes you have made today to Carnatic music goes against extensive discussion held in the talk pages" etc, but I see now directly that these are plain lies. Nothing has been agreed at any point. If you want to agree on anything, feel free to discuss before reversing edits that dont suit your POV. I have already told you that some of my edits today have not found any mention in previous discussions.--Kris 23:16, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
