[edit] Tiger Legion

I'm not that bothered but you really should have checked before making your article. The tiger legion one has been around for over a year now....--Josquius 18:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your changes to Flag of India

You have recently attempted to edit some text written in an Indic script on Flag of India. Your edit has been reverted because the original text was correct. The reason you are seeing spelling mistakes is because your system is not set up for Indian languages. Please see WP:COMPLEX for full details on how to rectify this. -- Lost(talk) 17:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rival Airbases.jpg

[edit] 1971 Template

Saw the goodwork on the template for 71 War. I added a few names in the generals/political leaders section. However I have a concern on including the name of war heroes. over time, as we keep adding the war heroes profile the box will become unweildy. we also have to think about putting them in a seperate template/box. differentiate between generals and the heroes. jaiiaf 23:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the generals who led the important battles, like sagat singh for Operation Cactus-Lilly, or Chandpuri for Battle of Longewala without doubt ought to find a place. But we could possibly have another column for heroes whithin the template, but that'll take time.Rueben lys 13:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
The problem with including Chandpuri is he was not a General - but a Major, who led his company from the trenches - If we include him in the list, you will have to start including others - like Major Hoshiar Singh PVC, and a host of other junior officers incl 2LT Ketharpal. the pages for these heroes are already out there. ditto with pannu - it was actually maj gen nagra who was planning that sector - pannu was CO of just one unit - he is a war hero no doubt.
It was like this in the East sector. Sagat Singh led one sector - the IV Corps - equally good congributions were made by TN Raina heading II Corps, or ML Thapan. I think it is unfair to write about JS Arora and not mention KP Candth - who was the GOCinC Western Commmand. He had an important role to play as well but we are swept away with news reports. So essentially i think the leaders section should include only officers of Maj Gen and above jaiiaf 14:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

It is possible to add another section to the template under "Gallantry Awards", although that's gonna take a while 'cause I am a bit busy. Sounds about right???Rueben lys 18:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit war over Raid on Jaffna University and blocking user rueben_lys

You could work on it in your User space before putting it into article space incomplete. And you still haven't explained what it is. When I first read it, I thought it was something from some fictional universe. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, no. The context goes into the first sentence. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
The Raid on Jaffna University was the first of the operations launched by the IPKF aimed at disarming the LTTE by force and securing the town of Jaffna in the opening stages of Operation Pawan.. What is Operation Pawan? The article doesn't explain. And Please see Wikipedia'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. . User:Zoe|(talk) 22:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Without an explanation as to what Operation Pawan is, there is no context in this article. Is there an article on Operation Pawan? If so, link to it, don't use bolding. If not, explain what it is. Right now, the article still makes no sense to someone who doesn't know what you're talking about. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:17, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

If you remove the context tag again without supplying context, I will block you from editing for a while. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Why exactly would you block me from editing? and in that note, how do you block some one from editing, cause I'd like to do that to you as well!!!

[edit] Appeal against review by User Netsnipe

<<unblock reviewed|User Zoe has blocked me with the reason (repeatedly removing context tag without supplying context) for the article Raid on Jaffna University while the article was being created (by me) and while I was in the process of adding the very information that she indicates is lacking. She was at this time involved in a heated exchange of message with me, and I believe the reasons are more to gain unfair advantage in this debate. Also request review of integrity of this individual. Also, I was not notified of blocking.|decline=10 hour block has already expired. withdrawn>>

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Zoe for the following reason (see our blocking policy): repeatedly removing context tag without supplying context Your IP address is 130.209.6.40.

[edit] Addition on information by Zoe after Block

Read something like Munich massacre, where the first sentence explicitly explains what it's talking about, and even gives us dates and places. Your first sentence doesn't tell anything to a reader who has no idea what you're talking about. Look, the context tag doesn't stay on an article forever, only until such a time as you actually give us some context. Like I said, when I first read it, I thought it was some fictional universe. Explain the article, in Wikipedia style, and the tag gets removed. I'm not trying to edit war with you, I'm trying to explain to you that your article makes no sense. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:42, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's great, you're blocking me and posting in my user talk page. Are you an admin??? 'cause I'd really like to find out how to report your conduct, which I think is absolutely (.......insert your own words here), and I think you're supposed to let me know how I do that. I don't know wether you're locked in an edit war with me, but your actions sure indicate you are, because any body with a little bit of intellect can make out that

  • a. You have to let somebody finish writing the article before you claim it's incomplete.
  • b. Perception of whether it is in context should depend on the reader, not on me, and you have essentially abused your position.

I still would like to know how I can report your actions, which you did not tell me before you blocked me????Rueben lys 22:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response by Netsnipe to message on talk page re: appeal against block

After reexamining what I had written, I have to admit that I misread the situation after having my judgement clouded from being infuriated with the notion that anyone would threaten to take anyone to the Arbitration Committee over a {{context}} tag. In my opinion, it's still a spiteful move and as Wikipedia:Resolving disputes states, should only be used a final resort. I respectfully retract my statement and apologise for any hurt caused. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singh

Thank you for the information, I added the casualty list to the article, don't know how to split it up into two tables however to make it look better. Just thought it was odd all casualties were Singh's but your explanation makes sense, since I know there is a class system in play. Thanks again and I hope you make an article on the whole operation I will try to contribute what I can if you do. --NuclearZer0 20:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 10 October 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Operation Poomalai, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Sandbox

Have you thought of using Sandboxes to create your articles so that they are almost to your satisfaction when they are available on Wikipedia and avaoid the confrontation you just had on a great article. Good job and just my opnion. Also I would like to edit Template:Sri lanka civil war template so that it differentiates military operations versus civilian casualities like the masscares. I am making this comment based on the assumption that you created it ? Thank sRaveenS 23:10, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of "RIN" Ships

That picture is a fake. those ships are modern navy and coast guard ships and not from the time of the mutiny. this is clear from the ships design which is fairly modern - and the radar masts of the ones on the right. Adding it back and labeling it RIN is grossly inaccurate. It is not uncommon for newspapers to make stupid mistakes like this. jaiiaf 11:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on the Sannyasi Rebellion and for making a lot of relevant edits. Take care. --Antorjal 17:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ash Rai.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ash Rai.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Yamla 15:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ash Rai.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ash Rai.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Violation of WP:FUC

Your violation of WP:FUC in the article on Aishwarya Rai has been reverted. This appears to have been a deliberate violation on your part as you uploaded this image, chose the license, then decided to use the image in blatant violation of the license text and on an article which specifically states right on that line that copyrighted non-free images are inappropriate. Although WP:AGF states that we need to give editors the benefit of the doubt, I see no room here to do so, given the specific issues. Please refrain from any further violations of image licenses and of WP:FUC; Wikipedia takes your violations of copyright and fair-use policies very seriously. --Yamla 15:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Hawker Audax

Hello, I have tagged the image you have used from the bharat-rakshak.com website for deletion. It is copyrighted to a site contributor and is not for wiki. You can however use [1] or [2] this image to illustrate an Audax for the article if you wish. It is also appropriate because it shows Sqn Ldr Mehar Singh, one of the first COs of No.3 Squadron. Jaganpvs 16:23, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes please replace it with the other image i suggested. There are already a couple of images of audax that can be used and are not exclusive to our site. I would prefer such non-exclusive pictures be used by wiki. Please feel free to email me at jaganpvs AT gmail DOT com for further clarifications. Jaganpvs 14:28, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Human rights abuses in Sr-Lanka

Why do want to include LTTE propaganda ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IAF (talk.

It is not propaganda at all.There are reputable publications that have documented the claims that have been made in the article.If you wish to provide an opposing view point,please provide a verifiable account that says so. Your post makes it clear that you are editing (deleting) with a POV issue,which makes it count as vandalism. You are welcome to forth your views, but please do not delete those of others, especially when these are verifiable facts. Wikipedia is not the place to settle disputes, no matter how strongly you feel about it. It is a place for facts. Hope you will contribute with your views which will be just as much appreciated.

Rueben lys 21:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Your post makes it clear that you want to add anti-IPKF POV into the IPKF article (no matter how "well" sourced). I can't include jehadi philosophy and the sorrow-laden story of Osama bin Laden into the 9/11 article can I ?

All deletion is not vandalism (no matter how well referenced), especially if it is done to remove off-topic matter and PoV like yours. However, wanton stuffing of unrelated matter like you have done can be counted as vandalism. Indian Air Force (IAF)

You are ranting about verifiable facts, credible sources etc. but do you know that any fact/statement must be relevant to the article at hand ? So what do Sri-Lankan massacres of Tamils have to do with IPKF ? Its like adding Babri-Masjid issue and 1992 riots, 1993 bomb-blasts in the in the Gujarat riots page. This clearly shows you are adding a PoV because it is completely unrelated to the topic.....And it must go, verifiable or not verifiable. Deleting it would be an Article Clean-up not vandalism. Adding it needlessly (which is what you are doing)is vandalism.

Also, you are portraying LTTE sponsored stuff as "verifiable sources", which it clearly is not. The language must change. Indian Air Force (IAF)


Kindly make an effort to see my edits in the article. I have removed the Sri-Lankan massacres section, which you insisted on adding (like a vandal) even though it is nowhere relevant to the topic. Besides, my edits to IPKF have made changes to pertain to a neutral statement lke, "LTTE alleges that IPKF massacred so and so...." instead of the blatant nonsense earlier like, "IPKF massacred so and so many people..." If I had my way, I would delete all the stuff on alleged IPKF massacres because it is entirely LTTE PoV and not, "Well-referenced sources" as you falsely trumpet as. Since when did LTTE propaganda become "well-referenced" ? Indian Air Force(IAF)
First of all, have a look in the page and notice that I have not made any contributions to the article. Second, stop ranting like an idiot.Rueben lys 15:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • If you are literate (forget being educated), go to the history page of IPKF and see the edit made on 13:39, Nov 30. You had reverted an edit of mine, by bringing back the campaign box on Sri-Lankan atrocities on Tamils. This is vandalism because its totally unrelated to the topic.

I had also deleted all references to so-called IPKF "massacres" which was reverted by you again and supported by jaiiaf by adding the word "Alleged" to the title. I then made the section neutral by conveying the idea that LTTE alleges and accuses the IPKF of those massacres, however, I still feel that that section is simply not needed because it is LTTE propaganda...a terrorist propaganda. Indian Air Force(IAF)

[edit] Jaffna University Helidrop

Hello Rueben lys, This what i want to say. The web sites such as Tamilnet, Tamilnation, Tamiltigers and Asia tribune, are very harder to select as reliable sources because they are almost pro LTTE. If you have any further questions about this matter, please feel free to ask from me. Happy editing!!!  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  (Ŧ) 20:20, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
