[edit] Hi
Hi! Was looking at Hoysala Empire. Excellent work! This time the references have been taken care of from the beginning, right? Anyway, I have a request. The article Tamil people has been brought to FAR. Could you please see the FA Review and help improve the article? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hoysala
Hi! The best person to copyedit would have been Tony1 (talk • contribs) (because he is the best, plus he is non-Indian). But he is usually busy. You can ask Nichalp (talk • contribs) or Ambuj.Saxena (talk • contribs). If I can manage some time, I shall try. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Temple at Somanathapura
Hi, I didn't want to make any changes on my own. However, I still believe that the most appropriate name for the temple would be something like Chennakeshava temple (Somanthapura). Like the temple in Belur, the temple in Somanathapura is also widely known as Chennakeshava. Please see this google listing. Some of the links are to pages that happen to mention both Belur and Somanathapura, but certainly there are many references to the Somanathapura temple as a Chennakeshava temple. A good number of these google hits are tourism packages. But this hit from the Archaeological Survey of India, on an official government website, refers to the Somanathpur temple as a Chennakesava temple. Not that it counts for anything, but my personal experience is that the temple is referred to as Chennakeshava. --BostonMA
- It would help me if I could understand why you prefer "Keshava" to "Chennakeshava". Chenna is just means beautiful. The two names are used interchangably, and so I am reluctant to label one temple as Chennakeshava and others as Keshava. It seems to be perpetuating a myth that there are two different names. Consider, the most commonly used name for Tiruchirapalli is Trichy and the most common name for Ootacamund is Ooty. But at Wikipedia, we use the more "correct" name for an article, even if it is less common, and have a redirect from the alternative name. In my opinion, Chennakeshava is more correct. I do not wish to obstruct. I am just presenting my point of view. --BostonMA talk 01:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- Thank you for being so patient with me. I apologize that such a small detail matters to me. It is fine to not use brackets. Which way be be easier to do the merge? First move Keshava temple to Chennakesava temple at Somanathapura (or whatever) and then move remaining material from Somanathapura, or vice-versa? --BostonMA talk 01:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- The Somanathapura article seemed longer, so I split that, moving the temple section to Chennakesava Temple at Somanathapura. I will merge the Keshava temple article into that tomorrow. However, if you have the inclination, please move ahead. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 02:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh! I didn't know that. Please let me know if I have to keep something else in mind before I move onto next sections. Gnanapiti 02:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Hoysala Empire
I don't copyedit articles, but I critique the text for inconsistencies. I'm busy during the week, so I'll have a look at it over the weekend. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Hoysala Empire
Hi! IPA is International Phonetic Alphabet. Audio means add pronounciation of Hoysala (preferably the native pronounciation). These are not must for FAC though. Please see the article Kolkata (and many others) where there is a link to the audio pronounciation at the beginning, and also the IPA form. You may contact SameerKhan (talk • contribs) for IPA rendering. He is a specialist. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyedit request
Hi,
I had been busy for the last couple of days so couldn't work on your request. I will try to do a copyedit tomorrow or the day after. Hope this is not very urgent. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hi! Good work. Now have to address the concerns in the FAC. So be ready for quick works :) Try to add the IPA and audio. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hoysala Empire and Hoysala architecture
Sir, this article is being nominated for FA review. A thorough spell check would be appreciated by me( whenever you have time). In fact, waiting for a few days for reviews to get over before spellcheck may be a good idea. Thanks.Dineshkannambadi 00:12, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. Thank you for doing spell check.Dineshkannambadi 21:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

- You're welcome, and good luck with the featured article process. By the way, did you know that Firefox 2.0 has a built-in spellchecker for many languages? You might find this useful in future. Cheers, CmdrObot 23:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dinesh, you should join this. Thanks. Sarvagnya 23:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hoysala and others
Hi! It's great that Tony saw the article. He is one of the best in the business of reviewing. Now, the article has to go through strict perusal and changes. Yes, dewikilinking of all those years will be beneficial. Just follow what Tony recommends.
Regarding Western Chalukyas, there is no problem!! It's a different article and can become FA in its own right. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Just addressing the specific examples cited by Tony won't be enough. He would cite more if he manages some time to review again. Try to rope in someone else. You can try Parthi (Venu) (though he is busy with Tamil people FAR). Ambuj will be great if he can manage. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map
I have made the changes to the map. It's actually quite easy to make maps and diagrams. I taught myself the art of cartography earlier this year. Get a copy of inkscape, (its free and available for many OS platforms). Go through the tutorials that come with it, and I'll guide you from there on once your through. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] was that helpful?
Didn't know if I was helping or interrupting something you were doing! What is the status now regarding your article? Sincerely, Mattisse 16:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Help?
Is there anything I can do to help? (I have a little confidence back -- probably temporarily!) Also, where is the link to your FA review? Maybe some of those other articles I could start using your article -- then you could refine it? Sincerely, Mattisse 16:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hoysala article
I've been doing some copyediting, trying to simplify and vary the wording. Hopefully I haven't done anything destructive. Two things I know FA people do not like. One is footnotes in the middle of a sentence (if it can be avoided), and another is links to a heading in another article (e.g. Dravidian) because if someone changes the heading the link will break. Regarding the religious part, are there some general statements that can be made about religion then? To me it gets very confusing quickly because of all the Hindu detail, then it mentions the decline of Jainism and Buddhism, but later it talks about sumptuous Buddhist monestaries. What? I thought they were in decline? I'm joking but hopefully you get my drift. The whole article has to hang together as one. (I wrote an article today to take care of one of your red links - Siraf. It turned out to be very interesting learning the little bit I did writing it! Sincerely, Mattisse 23:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] a few things I's change - second to last para - something like this
Major political changes were taking place in the deccan region in the early 14th century when significant areas of northern India were under Muslim rule. Alla-ud-din Khilji, the Sultan of Delhi, was determined to bring isolated South India under his domain. To this end he sent his commander Malik Kafur on a southern expeditions to plunder the Seuna capital Devagiri in 1311 and by 1318 the Seuna empire was subjugated. The Hoysala capital Halebidu (also called Dorasamudra or Dwarasamudra) was sacked twice, in 1311 and 1327.[1]
Sincerely, Mattisse 00:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] last para in history - suggestions - haven't checked where the links go
By 1336 the Sultan had conquered the Pandyas of Madurai, the Kakatiyas of Warangal and the tiny kingdom of Kampili. The Hoysalas were the only remaining Hindu empire who resisted the invading armies. Veera Ballala III stationed himself at Tiruvannamalai and offered stiff resistance to the southern invasions, curtailing the growth of the emerging Sultanate of Madurai. Then after nearly two decades of resistance, Veera Ballala III died in 1343 at the battle of Madurai and the Hoysala empire was merged with the emerging Vijayanagara Empire.[2] Sincerely, Mattisse 01:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Much improved!
I'll keep running through it tommorrow for flow and continuity. It's 100 percent better! Sincerely, Mattisse 03:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
