[edit] Guwahati

Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of Guwahati. But I must commend you for the wonderful job on Guwahati. Very well done, indeed.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Gmc.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gmc.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Guwahati proper names

I suggest that you use the standard spelling for the proper names and their phonetic spellings in brackets. For example you could use "Fancy Bazaar" and put "fasi bozaar" in brackets and then mention that the origin of the name is "gallows market", because of the gallows in its vicinity and that gallows in Assamese is "fasi".

[edit] Assam

Thanks for a substantial increase in the Culture section of Assam. Could you provide a reference to this input, please. Also, the substantial section actually would be better written under its own page Culture of Assam, with a short summary left at the Assam article, and a link at the head of the section to Culture of Assam.

Please look at User_talk:Chaipau#Etymology for a note on the recent Assam edits. At some point we may have to move the Etymology section to a separate page, since it is currently hotly debated and we need a fuller description. Chaipau 12:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I have started Assam silk. See if you have something to add. I have also started Etymology of Assam, and shall shortly shrink the section in Assam. I envisage this article should first enlist all the evidence. Then give some of the different theories that are going around, beginning with academic references. Let me know what you think. Chaipau 15:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

gud idea!...bt will be little slow fr next few days.Porikolpok Oxom 05:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I think the diverse cultures should also find a place in the second paragraph. I shall try to insert that and then shrink it further. I shall shrink the third paragraph too. Also, would you want to do a page on the Biodiversity of Assam, a list of plants and animals of Assam? Chaipau 16:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Culture of Assam

I think it would be better to call the article "Culture of Assam" and not "Assamese culture". First because it is in the style of many other pages that Wikipedia has: History of Assam, Music of Assam, People of Assam etc. Second, there are now cultural traits (for example, urban culture) that is not part of traditional Assamese culture, but which are complex and composite forms. And third, the page will give space to Assamese and other traditional sister cultures enough space for their descriptions along with more recent trends.

I take the liberty to move the page to "Culture of Assam".

Chaipau 13:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I made the changes in Culture of Assam. Also, I wish to develop the Culture of Assam with Culture of USA as a guide. Please have a look at that page. We should not put up the Culture of Assam in the way it has been done traditionally---which has divided traits into categories (Assamese, Bodo, etc), but rather as living practices by people in Assam.
Also, I think we should look at Kerela as a guide for Assam.

Sorry about the warning, now I saw that you just made a mistake, I fixed it. Cheers!~ Arjun 17:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] District of Assam image

The image [1] has a lot of white space around it. It will look better in the articles if it was cropped. Chaipau 12:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Categorising Stubs

I've noticed that you've created a number of articles with uncategorised stub tags recently - it would be helpful if where possible you could use a specific stub tag, such as {{india-culture-stub}} - a complete list of stub types can be found here. Jeodesic 15:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Districts of Assam

I think there is a slight error in the Bongaingaon-Kokrajhar boundary in the [2] that you have created. I would suggest you use the Census of India map that you can generate from here (take your cursor to the left, over "The next level"). I think you could base you map on this generated map, which also has sub-division boundaries, in addition to the district boundaries. I have made some progress on this, but I shall wait for you to update the map in your style.

Also, the map is 2001 based. The further division of Kamrup into Kamrup (Rural) and Kamrup (Urban) occured after 2001. Also, some districts in the best were redrawn and renamed after the formation of BTC. So it might be best to just stick to the 2001 boundaries for now and mention the Kamrup (Urban) and the renamed BTC districts in the text.

[edit] WikiProject:Assam?

I can see that we have some editors now interested in Assam. Are you interested in a WikiProject on Assam? Maybe we can coordinate our edits. The other users I see are User:Dkonwar, User:Deepraj and User:Bikram98. Let me know if you think this is a good idea. Chaipau 22:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Please add your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Assam. Chaipau 11:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
