[edit] User warning to User:Idiot123456

Hi there, I changed your warning at User talk:Idiot123456 from vandalism2 to vandalism3 as I had left him a level 2 warning only a couple of minutes before. If you are not ok with this, feel free to revert. Regards, Flyguy649talkcontribs 21:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Usage of templates in discussions

Hello Gnanapiti,

I just observed, in Talk:Yakshagana page, that you had used few tags in the format {{tag_name}}, and then because of their wiki-markup-rendering, you changed them to {tag_name} format. Actually, you can still write in the original format. The technique is to use {{tl}} template. Any template that is put as parameter to {{tl}} template, will not be rendered.

Eg: {{tl|Karnataka}} results in {{Karnataka}}

Hope this helps. Thanks, - KNM Talk 22:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging "Citation needed" in article Indian Cinema

Hey. Thank you for tagging the Indian Cinema article appropriately. I did not know how to do this and so had to resort to keying in those sentences with bold letterings that you saw. Hope someone can improve the referencing of this potentially awesome article. Cheers, AppleJuggler 01:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the citations you provided.

Nice that you included some references. That's good. Without citation to claims made in an article, the article would hold little credibility. So it's an important job that you did, by helping provide evidence for some of the factual statements made in the article. Keep up the good job, and all the best to you! AppleJuggler

[edit] 'Yakshagana' in Sanskrit

Hello Gnanapiti,
I think the Sanskrit name (यक्शगन) on the Yakshagana page is wrong. Shouldn't it be यक्षगान? I wanted to change it but I thought that I should make sure first.

Thanks, Max - You were saying? 10:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Gnanapiti. Max - You were saying? 15:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Krishna images

Hello Gnanapiti - I had been looking for a better image to go with the Krishna in the performing arts section of the Krishna article, so when you posted your photograph into the article it seemed to be a perfect choice. It fits exactly with the text in that section. :-) I have since moved the holi image to a more relevant position. Hoping this meets your approval. Jaya Sri Krishna!

Thank you very much Gnanapiti. That has increased my responsibilities now. Thanks, - KNM Talk 00:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright

Hi! You have uploaded a nice image of the Jog Falls: Image:Mighty Jog.jpg where you mention that the author has released all rights to the image. To validate this claim, you must forward a copy of the email from the author to permissions@wikimedia.org so that a ticket can be logged and placed on the image page.

[edit] My nomination for W:3RR

Nice to know that you have proved what I believe , that you KNM and Sarvagnya work in cahoots, if not as sockpuppets. I welcome the 3RR. It will give me a good oportunity to point out to the Anti-Devanagiri bias with which you three work and the way all you cooperate to protect each others edits. Cheers to you too! --Deepak D'Souza 07:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] T.N. Srikantaiah

Just started a page on Ti Nam Sri. I have finished one section on his childhood but section on his work is lacking.Bakaman 16:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I like it, thanks for the help. Mainly I just scout out areas on India related topics not covered and write up DYK's. I read newspaper articles on Rachel Paulose and Gopalakrishna Adiga lately and realized they would make catchy DYK's.Bakaman 02:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK nom on T.N. Srikantaiah

Hi, Thanks for the note. Yes, it is indeed very interesting fact. I myself didn't know about it till now. Would be a good quiz question too!! :-)

Just nominated that fact for DYK.

Thanks, - KNM Talk 04:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sachin Tendulkar

Hi, I guess I was kinda frustrated and pissed after the miserable, spineless performance but hey, this IS Sachin's last World Cup and the part about so-called 'experts' concurring that he is the greatest batsmen that ever played, Wisden has a different take on the subject as the article also makes a mention of the same fact.

[edit] Re:Copyright

Yes, the image qualifies as fair use and is allowed. A shot of Upendra acting (See Angelina Jolie, Bette Davis) would be better for the article IMO. =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Screen captures to identify an actor/actress

Hello, Gnanapiti, screenies can only be used for critical commentary, not to identify an actor/actress. If you wish to upload a picture to identify Aishwarya Rai, please find a promotional picture of here. Policy can be found here: [1] Best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Gnanapiti,
if we can use unfree, fair use images in the actor's box, why was this one in Sienna Guillory's article created? Lots of articles link to it and there's an entire page dedicated to it ([2]). To me, it looks, as if the entire thing was created because we cannot use unfree images in the actor's box. Best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Gnanapiti,
I think the entire thing is very confusing, as everyone has a different opinion about it and the policy doesn't seem to be very clear on it. However, I'd prefer to use fair use images in the actor's box, because there are so many of 'em and it's so difficult to shoot a picture of, say, Shahrukh Khan. Yet, I don't know *who* to ask about the entire matter. Do you know an admin who's familiar with Wikipedia's policy for unfree pictures? Because I'd like to ask him/her: what about pictures who claim to be free, but are not part of WikiCommons? Do public domain pictures need a source, too? --Plumcouch Talk2Me 23:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

When in doubt, consult featured articles Wikipedia:Featured articles#Media. I've gone through some of the articles and most of them have free images in the infobox. Some do not, so take a look at some of the articles there. I could not find free images online of Aishwara Rai. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ha Ma Nayak -> H.M. Nayak

Hello Gnanapiti,

I see that you have provided a redirect from Ha Ma Nayak to newly created H.M. Nayak. The end result looks fine, however, this is not the practice ideally followed. You should always Move the article to the new name. This would ensure the history transfer as well. In other words, [[3]] this would have been moved to new history, if the article was moved. Now, on the other hand, because the contents were cut and pasted in to the new article name, the entire history is gone. :)

I believe, this summarizes, what I'm trying to say. Hope it helps! - KNM Talk 00:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It was nothing serious. So, no need to worry too much about it. In future let this not happen. That is all. Thanks. - KNM Talk 18:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sukhanand Shetty

I believe he was a politician in Karnataka murdered a while back. I started a little bio on him in my sandbox ([4]).Bakaman 16:45, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] T.N. Srikantaiah

Updated DYK query On 28 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article T.N. Srikantaiah, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Tungabhadra River article

Gnanapiti,

I think we both are trying to get the right message in, related to the title for Shiva lingam at the bank of that river.

I feel Shiva and Lingam should be separated or Shiva should be dropped out of the sentence. Anyone who wants to do more research on lingam should start from the Lingam article so that they understand significance of both. I will let you find the appropriate sentence but I just wanted to present my opinion.

thanks Altrn8r

[edit] Thanks

Thanks! They should come around shortly pasting the ticket number on the image page. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mangalore

Sir,Mangalore is a place visited by Malayalees from the time of its origin.Also a minority of population in Mangalore are Malayalees.Malayalees use the word Mangalapuram and not Mangalore for this place.Thus writing Mangalapuram in Malayalam is relevent.If you disagree,kindly take off the name in Kannada for Kasaragod in Kasaragod page,as there it is an irrelevant script.

[edit] My RfA

Hi, my RfA has been successful. Thanks a lot for your support. :) --soum (0_o) 10:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
