[edit] Your Update of Average Wages on Economy Pages

Anwar, You recently edited so many pages on the economy of countries, e.g. Economy of Russia, Economy of China, Economy of Russia etc. regarding "wage" . Your editing by adding some sentence such as "average wages for workers hover betweem $x-$y per day."

can you add citation for the source. Actually, I will appreciate if you kindly mention the source or reference for the statistics you posted. Is it from the ILO, from where exactly? Thanks so much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.36.25.96 (talk) 23:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Umarup pulavar

Anwar, can you write a stub on Umarup pulavar? The next time I go to my hometown, I'll try to take a pic of his memorial. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 11:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

If I come across any reliable link, I will add it. Frankly, I am not terribly bothered about the dead.Anwar

[edit] Zheng He

I appreciate your contribution to Zheng He, but I felt it was necessary to revert it. First of all, the source you cited (a report at a website) did not support the sentence you added about foreign Tamil Muslims being in Zheng He's fleet. Instead, the author pointed to the presence of Indian (including Tamil) Muslims in parts of China, and this is where some of the mariners probably came from. Zheng He himself was one of these Chinese Muslims. Secondly, the website you referred to, http://1421.tv, is not a reliable source. It is possible that the specific report you cited is an example of good research, but before citing it in Wikipedia, we should establish that it reflects scholarly consensus. Remember, the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability. I hope this comment is helpful. -- Rob C. alias Alarob 15:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tamil Scouting

Can you help render "Be Prepared", the Scout Motto, into Tamil script? Thanks! Chris 17:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stock market index future

Can you please do the needful and help out with references in the Stock market index future article. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 23:11, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 32-bit applications

The notion that a "32-bit software application" needs "at least 2^31 bits of memory" is one that I have never seen before. The page on 32-bit applications says only that "A 32-bit application is software that runs in a 32-bit flat address space (a flat memory model)", i.e. that it's an application that requires a 32-bit (flat) address space. An application can require that without requiring the use of 31 or more bits of that address space. Guy Harris (talk) 19:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks ... (but please don't link to Google Books)

Hi. In several recent edits, you appear to be providing Google Books URLs as a source. Not only is that inappropriate by itself, the URLs that you provide are ultimately meaningless since a) they expire eventually, and b) they are not guaranteed to be for the page you cite. Those issues aside, many thanks for providing this (citation fixes here). It was also very nice of you to cross-add that information even though it was unrelated to your original quest for "india railway 1900". So, thanks also for being encyclopedic! -- Fullstop (talk) 14:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Google books are RS as long as we cite the page number from the book per WP:CITETaprobanus (talk) 14:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indonesian wages...

Hi there. Thanks for your addition to the Indonesian economy article. Do you have a reference? This will only improve wikipedia. thanks. --Merbabu (talk) 15:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kannada literature FA comment

I saw your comments, on the inclusion of Muslim writers you have apoint and I would include them with appropriate RS sources. Primarily Muslims in Karnataka speak Urudu not Kannada unlike in Kerala, Tamil nadu and Sri Lanka. Further the original Kannada literature written during the early Jain/Buddhist period is not yet found unlike in Tamil Nadu where C. W. Thamotharampillai and others found such literature about 100 years ago. So what you have is late Jain and Hindu influenced literature in which native forms have been influenced by Sanskrit.The period inwhich you may have seen Kannada Tamil interactions is early period but we dont have it to verify on their side. Then your comment about Tamil giving rise to other Dravidian languages is not lingusitically correct. Tamil is an archaic langugae no doubt and Earliest forms of Kannada and Tamil probably were very similar even dialects but we cannot say Tamil as it stands today gave birth to Kannada. It is like saying Sanskrit gave rise to Prakrit, however popular it is in India that is not a linguistically correct statement. Sanskrit and various Prakrits are at the most sister languages. Anyway there is this important article to be written. It is about Anjuvanam. They are a mercahnt guild from west asia that gave rise to Tamil Muslim and Mapilla communities. I have a book (dont rely on internet to research that topic) that has a complete chapter on them . They had used Tamil in their inscriptions as early as 9th century but in Kerala. We could collaboratively write about them through the Tamil civilization project scope. Just for thoughts Taprobanus (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics of India

Anwar, your edit about 1/2 of Indias population living next to the Himalayas is perhaps true, but it is not commonly regarded as one of the defining features of the Indian population. They are more along the lines of langauage, religion, caste etc. Thanks. I am invariant under co-ordinate transformations (talk) 18:09, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

According to the census 2001, about half of the Indian population live on one-third of the landscape in the 19 northern states/territories of Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Delhi, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Bengal, Assam, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Manipur. This is the core north. Their culture was dominated by land and agriculture for several centuries. This narrow strip of land is home to the some of the most fertile soils and exotic species of flora and fauna in Asia.
The other 50 per cent of the Indian population live on two-thirds of the landscape down into the peninsula. Their culture was dominated by sea and trade for several centuries.
All other north-south differences are born out of this basic state of affairs. It is a pity many do not realise this.Anwar (talk) 18:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Fine, but all this needs citations. Please dont add the material back till you have appropriate references. Thanks I am invariant under co-ordinate transformations (talk) 21:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

When I uploaded the image back in June 2007, there was no Australia in that table. Anyway, FAO must have updated the database servers recently. Thanks for the tip. I will update the map a.s.a.p.Anwar (talk) 14:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SVG

I didn't replace the images, only created the SVG per request. If you have a problem with replacements take it to the user who did it. For what it's worth, SVG is preferred because it is editable by anyone (you would have trouble re-arranging the dots on your map in MS paint) and is infinite resolution (hence scalable, it can be increased in size beyond the original without detriment to quality. The SVG version may be over a MB (as most SVG maps are), the PNG rendering is only a few KB more than the original though. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 13:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Inkscape is probably the most popular (free) SVG editor, it also comes with Inkview which you can use to view SVG files as an image on your computer. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 14:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Not at all. That map was converted because it was requested at WP:GL, not all maps are suitable as an SVG, however someone thought that one was. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 14:37, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I think you're missing the point. When you upload SVG images to wikimedia projects, the thumnails used in articles and displayed on the image page are PNG images generated from the SVG by a renderer. The 1MB SVG image isn't used in articles at all, the 800px PNG render of the SVG map is only 76kb compared to your original of 86kb. However, I could download the SVG map, recolour the countries, relocate the dots and move the key in a matter of minutes and re-upload and the new PNG would still be only ~76kb but that kind of change is impossible or incredibly time consuming with the original PNG only. — ₪₪ ch1902 ₪₪ 21:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Translation

Ya3ni..., i mean, it doesnt make any sense to me, but im guessing if put properly in a topic it will..

but a few words im not sure about tho... مرمزة im guessing ترمز is better

مءويه is incorrectly spelled, its مئوية

and the grammer in the entire part is wrong...

هذه الفقاعه خريطه تبين التوزيع العالمي لزوار الموقع في عام 2008 كنسبه مءويه من رأس السوق (الولايات wikipedia.orgالمتحدة الامريكية -- 97852576). هذه الخريطه بما يتسق مع مجموعة كاملة من البيانات ايضا ما دام رأس السوق هو معروف. انها امكانيه الوصول الى حل القضايا التي تواجهها مرمزه بالالوان الخرائط التي قد لا تكون على الوجه الصحيح الذي صدر في شاشات .الكمبيوتر القديمة

instead it should be :

هذه الخريطة المصغرة تبين نسب التوزيع العالمية لزوار موقع Wikipedia.org عام 2008, كنسبة مئوية من السووق العام للولايات المتحدة الامريكية(97,852,576), مع الملاحظة ان هذه الخريطة غير كاملة بالمعلومات الحلية.

as for the last part about the colors.. i dont really get it either in Arabic or English...

anyways, i hope i helped, sorry if i wasnt much help...

[edit] Coil wavelength

Now there's a subject for a useful new article—you have identified a gap that needs dealing with! I haven't anything like the knowledge, otherwise I'd have a go. However, adding the link coil to various existing articles relating to the electromagnetic spectrum, in the absence (as yet) of an article dealing with the actual topic, may be confusing and I'm reverting them as and when I come across them. All the best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
