Hindi article

Watch your step when you revert. In your bid to stamp out POV u've deleted citations and other reasonable edits. Sarvagnya 05:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Fibonacci

Please explain your actions in Talk:Fibonacci. —Tamfang 07:15, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Call it off, please

I suggest you let the matter drop. There's nothing to see there, and really, it's yesterday's snow. The issue of that unfortunate comment is long closed. Jumping in on a discussion between Bhadani and dab and trying to prolong it with inflammatory comments isn't what we're here for. It fits my definition of trolling and harassment, and I won't hesitate to block for it if this doesn't stop. After all, we're all here to write an encyclopedia, right? Let's go back to work.

Mahabharata

I am reminded of a story in Mahabharata, in which, if I recall correctly, Yudisthira wonders to Krishna whether war is inevitable. Krishna replies yes. Yudisthira asks whether it is then not pointless to pursue peace. Do you know that story? --BostonMA 12:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for moving your comment

You were only following example, and I didn't want to make a fuss over something trivial, especially with more important issues at hand. But thanks! --BostonMA 16:16, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

hello i would like to know the reasons for such drastic change in the raw page legal eagle

thanks for being diplomatic i will accept your offer Legaleagle86 13:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC) legaleagle86

Misplaced Pages:No personal attacks warning

It is beyond odious to keep harassing DBachmann on his page over a comment he made a year ago—a comment that was misunderstood as offensive, and where he has already, several times, long, long ago, apologized for any unintentional offence caused by it. Stop this paltry nagging , and stop posting on DBachmann's page unless you have something to say that's concerned with improving the encyclopedia. Also, don't ever again make this kind of comment to any wikipedian. I'll block you for a week if I see something like that again. Please make sure to click on the links in this message.

on every user page you should find the "E-mail this user" link in the sidebar. I have set up my email long ago and it should be working. or simply use this link. Sarvagnya 07:18, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

R&AW

hello bharatveer, i find that you have changed mosr of the RAW to R&AW surely it was a tedious job, such exemplary tenacity is rewarding, so i didnt revert back the article, but i would like to knoe the reference mutually acceptable that it is not RAW but R&AW, pls reply soon Legaleagle86 10:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Devanagari and Perseo-Arabic script

Bharatveer, if we give a word or name in Devanagari, it's only polite to give it in the Persian script too. India has many official languages and alphabets and Urdu is one of them. If you start trying to remove Urdu from India-related articles, I am sure that you are going to face some severe repercussions. Zora 10:29, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Zora. The lingua franca of Bollywood is Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu) as opposed to shudda hindi. (see Bollywood Language) Many Bollywood songs use more of a Persianisized Hindustani (Urdu) than Sanskritised Hindustani (Hindi). Please also see Talk:Bollywood where it was voted upom that Bollywood films and actors shall have their names in Hindi and Urdu. I would also look at the language articles: Hindi, Urdu, and Hindustani. Each of these articles has a section pertaining to Bollywood. Basawala informed me that Urdu was even used in most Bollywood movie posters before the 90's. Now, the Urdu script, as well as Devanagari, appears in many movies before the opening credits. It is already well established that Bollywood-related articles use both scripts. Thank you for your understanding sir. Anupam 19:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Sir, I already gave you a reference. You can also take a look at some film covers: Image:Awaaraposter.jpg, Image:Waqt 1965 film poster.JPG, Image:Sholayposter2.jpg, Image:Padosan film poster.jpg, etc. I have provided a few here for you. However there are many more. I will give you a brief synopsis of the film titles: The language used in Bollywood films is often called Hindī, but most dialogues are actually written in Hindustānī -- they can be understood by Urdū and Hindī speakers alike. The film industry wants to reach the largest possible audience, and it cannot do that if the dialogue of the film is too one-sidedly Hindī or Urdū. This rule is broken only for song lyrics, which use elevated, poetic language (see Bollywood songs). From the 1950s through the 1970s, Bollywood films displayed the name of the film in Hindī, Urdū, and Roman scripts. Most Bollywood films today present film titles in Roman Urdū, although some also include the Hindī and Urdū scripts. I hope all of this information has been helpful to you. In light of these facts plus comments from Zora and Anaghabhat, I have reverted the Bollywood article. Thanks for your understanding. Shanti. --Anupam 20:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Urdu is an integral part of Bollywood. It is used profusely in Bollywood songs, and the fact that Bollywood is marketed towards Urdu speaker says something on its own. Mar de Sin 23:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Urdu is mentioned many times in the Bollywood article. I cannot provide evidence on the dialogues, since I am more into Bollywood music than film scripts. Other Wikipedians have provided you with evidence on that. However, Urdu is an integral part of Bollywood music, and I have proof for that here. Mar de Sin 19:33, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm very sorry that I am not into works about Bollywood, so I don't have references there. As I said, you'd have to rely on other users for the moment. Mar de Sin 18:53, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Discovered more anti-Hindu rubbish

The articles Muhammad bin-Qasim and Cheema are full of biased and nonsensical anti-Hindu POV put there primarily by User:Street Scholar. if you see his racist posts in the talk pages it is clear that he is an Islamist bigot and many of the claims made are mis-citations.Plz look at it in more detail and carefully check all "references" as many of them are false.Hkelkar 09:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeditor is back!

And he has been vandalizing Upanishads with garbage. Thought you should know...Hkelkar 13:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I noticed you voted Keep on this AfD. Are you familiar with this family? I cant find anything that makes this family notable even in Kerala. I'd appreciate your comments so I can decide on my own vote. Thank you!-- thunderboltz 12:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Carnatic Music pages taken hostage by hostile admins

Hi, can you please give your views on Talk:Carnatic_music#Carnatic_Music_page_taken_hostage_by_hostile_admins

Thanks --Kris 22:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, please add your views on the carnatic music discussion page. It is our duty (regardless of our mother tongues --mine is Tamil) to defend objectivity.--Kris 12:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Request

Hi Bharatveer, The Thiruvananthapuram article is nominated for the featured status. And the article Culture of Thiruvananthapuram is nominated for Selected article status. I request you to please stay back in constantly reverting the articles. The edit wars are a negetive aspect for considering the article to the WP:FA ore WP:SA status. Let us discuss and reach a consensus before making big changes in the article. I will talk with Samaleks regarding the same.

Hope you will cooperate. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan  :-) 07:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Whom were you referring to?

Whom are you referring to? Dab? Check his talk page for my relies. Swadhyayee 09:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

problem user

I see that you have had problems with User:Yeditor on Upanishad before. He seems to drop by every 6-10 days (look at the timestamps of his contribs) and POV/vandalize (with no reliable sources whatsoever) the following articles:

Upanishad Criticism of Upanishads Indian Buddhist Movement Ambedkar

Based on his pattern, he is due to appear in a couple of days.I request you to monitor these articles and watch out for his tendentious and incorrigible behaviour.Hkelkar 09:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Request

See the talk page of Thiruvananthapuram. Why should we start an unnecessary fight ? -- Rajith Mohan  :-) 13:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for sending me the site link for my project regarding the Inda and Pakistan conflict , it has come in very handy! So once again thank you!

Raju Narayanaswamy

Dear Bhartveer,

Please take care in the article Raju Narayanaswamy. Please modify it and avoid unnecessary things. That article started by me but I know that is not in good std. because I put contents from some webstie.

Do not remove content with proper citations. I hope you did it without considering WP policy and is a oversight. If you want to keep the NPOV tag on the Rape section or want to remove it to the talk section per WP policy then I am OK with it too. Thanks RaveenS 12:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

You have done it again, if you continue this again I will follow the dispute resolution process and ask for temporary protection of this page. Thanks RaveenS

Ravi Shankar refs

You noted that Iraq and Kosovo are also listed in that BBC article, but you incorrectly group them under the reference of conflict resolution. Conflict resolution is (according to that BBC article) only being offered in Sri Lanka; in Iraq and Kosovo, as well as the others in the BBC article and not in the Misplaced Pages article, the only thing listed as being offered are courses and programmes. I don't reject that in itself - but I do reject that being listed as conflict resolution. Skepticism doesn't make me blind, but it does prevent me from lumping every country in an article under a category that only one country was listed for.

I do believe that I've become a bit too skeptical about this article; it's on my watchlist because of some previous editors' notions that generosity and helpfulness is more important than truth. In general I also don't disagree with that, but in the context of an encyclopedia the reverse is true. I'm reverting the BBC-reference to its earlier state, but thank you for tracking down sources for other information; hopefully I'll be able to take it off my watchlist and leave it in the hands of people who are (hooray!) making reasonable edits. If you still feel I'm in error, please contact me on my talk page. --Firien § 14:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Mujib Assassination

I suggest you read the book Bangladesh: A Legacy of Blood by Anthony Mascarenhaas. It should provide a nice background on the history of Banlgadesh 1972-81. Most of Mujib's (and also Ziaur Rahman's) assassins were decorated Freedom fighters. Major Dalim is a Bir Uttam awardee, and so were a lot of others who took part in the 1975 coup. Almost all of the persons convicted for Zia's killing were decorated Freedom fighters as well. Read the book ... it covers both events in good detail. Thanks. --Ragib 08:05, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Friendly review

Hi, I just finished writing the Indian influence on Chinese martial arts article. Inviting for a review. Freedom skies 10:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Concert/Album by Yesudas

Dear BharatVeer , I saw Mr Kris trying this article for deletion. Concerts by Dr. K. J. Yesudas and Albums by Dr. K. J. Yesudas I don't know why ? what ever be if any neutrality problem please correct it instead of deletion. This is not an advertisement of Music company This is only for who would like to listen the album's of Yesudas or who would like to know his music. I think it is information for people who would like music. I never support for this deletion. Please care this. I think deletion is very easy but creation is very difficult

some worst works by User:srkris

Dear Bhart veer

I got a message from user jyothish about user User:srkris.I know Mr User:srkris he is very offensive user in this wikipeida. He asked for the deletion of both article Albums by Dr. K. J. Yesudas and Concerts by Dr. K. J. Yesudas Becasue he is fan of chembai. I checked his last works. He done same things (concerts and live album details) of chembai in chembai's aticle at same time. This is real partiality and real personal attack.

In his view chembai is only vocalist in carnatic music. In the article he tried to delete about Balamurali krishna and Yesudas. We should ask for delete user User:srkris from wikipedia.

The article Carnatic music locked only because of this user User:srkris. He tried to delete others images and put his fan's image like chembai and an europian singer. He tried to put some exernal links of chembai in various articles for for hitcounting. Please try to avoid him from wikipeida. thanks and by Pluto.2006 15:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC).
