[edit] Just a note

Hi Praveen, I see that you are a new user on WP. I also appreciate your interest in the Kaveri article. But please do not blank content en masse like you did today without obtaining the consensus of other editors. It is considered vandalism on WP. See WP:VAND.

I usually dont like to use warning templates on new users. Also please DONT consider this a warning. I am sure you were'nt aware of certain rules, thats all. Thanks. Sarvagnya 23:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for refraining from reverting again. Very quickly, just fyi - those "Snapshot of the numbers" is NOT my POV or from Ktaka govt., website. It is from various neutral websites like rediff, some govt., of india websites and even from "The Hindu". Just wait till I add the references. And even if it is from a Govt. of Karnataka website, it still is a valid and reliable source according to wikipedia policies. See WP:RS. In such cases, you are free to bring info from Govt., of TN websites and add info. If there is disagreement between the two figures, we can try to find a neutral source(like say a Govt of India site) and if we cant find a neutral source, we can surely mention both figures and let the reader decide for themselves. As for your other concerns, I am sure that I didnt make it up myself. I am fairly certain that I got it from a Govt. of India website. So just wait till I put in the references.
Ya.. and btw, please dont lose any sleep over Belgaum. I havent been editing that article in months. But last heard, the guys who was opposing me, one of them ran away from WP[1] and another there got banned for 4 months from Wikipedia. So just chill out and have fun. Thanks again for your cooperation. :) Sarvagnya 03:52, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
These kannada gang are vandalizing every other article. A bunch of hooligans are also supported by seniors. Pity on wikipedia. user:sarvabhaum

[edit] Kaveri crisis article

  • I think we can wait for a reply from Sarvagnya untill we make drastic changes in the main article. Moreover I feel that if we start changing the main article straight from the bloom we would have to encounter edit wars. So if a few of the editors start discussing within ourself and come to a consensus on what we put there (mostly we may need to correct whats on there already), the article would be fine with the NPOV.

[edit] Vijayanagara Architecture

Hi. I saw your tag on this page. Since I created this page, I want to answer you tag. The idiom is considered unique because it is a combination of 4 styles, (Hoysala, Chalukya, Pandya and Chola). It looks like older Tamil temples because of the Gopura style that the empire inherited from around 1450 CE. That does not make it a Tamil temple and non-unique. Even a combination of styles, which this is, is unique in its own way. Percy Brown calls it "Supreme and Passionate flowering" of Dravidian art. Again the term "Dravidian" does not imply Tamil temple architecture alone. But then we know how loosely people/historians use the term for different topics. I have changed the wording and removed the tag.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 18:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Dinesh, the new wording seems to be perfect. Thanks a lot. Praveen 15:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cricket

Hi. Your spell checker seems to be an American one. The word spelled "center" in American English is spelled "centre" in British English. You might care to take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English, where it says, "Articles that focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally conform to the usage and spelling of that country." JH (talk page) 18:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. "Centres" is fine in British English. JH (talk page) 20:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disco dance

Replied to your nonsense. Sarvagnya 03:32, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it looks like Yagshagana seems to be directly related to disco dance. Now, I understand why you like it. Good. Keep practicing.

[edit] Barnstar of Diligence Award

The Barnstar of Diligence
I award you this barnstar for your constant support, vigilance, and speaking up against POV. Wiki Raja 01:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hindu nationalist

I was refering to LTTE, and specifically to Prabhakaran and Balasingam. Some random user thought the LTTE was a Hindu nationalist group, I reverted him many times. The arguments wiki raja and kathanar bring to the page are irrelevant and tangential to the issue of "Is the LTTE Hindu Nationalist?". Do reply on the article talk page if you think they are or arent.Bakaman 16:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved your barnstar to your userpage

Hi,

I have moved your barnstar to your userpage. Wiki Raja 05:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for the nice stars. They make my userpage look a lot less sparse. I have been inactive for some time now, but if my doctor allows me I hope to return to more active writing soon. -- Ponnampalam 16:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concerns about Bharatanatyam article

Hi Praveen, if you have concenrs about certain users' intentions, you may request an admin to protect the article until disputes are resolved and request arbitration between the four of you. I would strongly recomment posting a request on WP:AN. Thanks Parthi talk/contribs 21:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
