Thanks for the barnstar. I've been to Mysore twice, (i have relatives there). How about working to make Mysore a FA? I'll assist you if you're willing. Nichalp 19:05, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

I've been editing en wikipedia very less these days.. which is evident by the fact that I checked the talk page today ;) --H P Nadig 01:40, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lingam
hi Pradeep, I saw your comments on Lingam. There was an elaborate article on this at www.sulekha.com titled "Linga and Cigarette butt" or something of that sort. It was very very informative and presented Indian perspective. Thought of bringing it to your attention. Ramashray 04:49, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi, saw your note on my talk page. Options like protecting the page are used only under extr-ordinary circumstances. It is best to discuss the issue with the users in the talk page and if they don't reply there, they can be contacted in their talk pages. Even then, if they continue to act indifferently, you can request for comment. Also, noone is supposed to revert the same article more than 3 times a day. -- Sundar (talk · contributions) 05:43, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ramshray, It is indeed a very nice article. (When the Cigar becomes a Phallus). Unfortunately, I am going to stop trying to edit the page. The next sections I was going to add were related to Shaivism and explanations of different views. But people seem to be cemented to their views on the subject and not ready to listen or read. Thus, I will only be adding to the mess --IMpbt 16:10, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Back
Hi. Thanks for your wishes. My reports are now clear and so won't have to take those horrible medicines. Regards, =Nichalp (talk · contribs)= 06:08, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Geography is now done
Geography of India is completed; you may want to copyedit the page. Regards, =Nichalp (Talk)= 12:49, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
- I didn't quite catch what you were saying on the rivers of India writeup. Previously it was just a list wasn't it? =Nichalp (Talk)= 15:30, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

That explains the duplicate text. I'm done with editing the page for now; please go ahead. =Nichalp (Talk)= 19:56, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

The Flag of India is this week's collaboration. Lets all try and make it up to FA status. =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:55, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] infobox
Yeah, I was editing. I know the colours for mysore are yucky! See Gangtok. Please don't edit the infoboxes as of now, I'll clean up the mess and keep you informed. Feedback on Gangtok needed. User:Nichalp/sg July 3, 2005 12:19 (UTC)
- I'm trying to have a colour coded infobox. One colour for states, one for UTs, one for state capital cities, for other cities and finally for districts. User:Nichalp/sg July 3, 2005 12:40 (UTC)
- Ok, you suggest the colours. see also Surrey. Background images would strain the server. I like the colours BTW. You could also look at wikipedia:infobox for colours already taken. Regards, User:Nichalp/sg July 9, 2005 04:49 (UTC)
[edit] Mysore division
Here's a nice map I made.
User:Nichalp/sg July 6, 2005 10:31 (UTC)
Looks pretty good. Can you highlight the city ?. I think the division includes other districts (this shows only the mysore district if I recollect correctly.
[edit] Colours
Thanks for your message. I didn't spot the message since it was tucked way in an older post. Green is used in the districts: Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian districts. Saffron would be too bright to use. Regards, User:Nichalp/sg 05:26, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
- I personally think the colours look good, and goes well with the grey. However if you want to change it just put up the suggested colours on the template's talk and let me know. PS. Please sign your comments so I don't have to check the page history :). User:Nichalp/sg 18:15, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Royal titles
Hi. Sorry for the late response. Personally I would like to leave out the longish and non-unique titles like HRH etc However if someone living or dead is well-known with a particular title, we should use that eg the Nawab of Pataudi, Nawab of Arcot etc. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 03:38, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Sure. Go ahead and start a poll. I'llbe online onMonday. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 15:31, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Inactive
Just noticed you moved yoursel to inactive. Will you be gone for long? User:Nichalp/sg 14:17, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
- I am back part time as of now, hopefully will contribute more.
[edit] Janapith Awarded in 1974
Hey it can be noted that D. R. Bendre was awarded with the Janapith in 1974 and not 1964. April 7, 1974 was the date on which the same was declared. "Dattatreya Ramachandra Bendre" a book by G.S.Amur and published by sahitya academy has the info. can Could you please confirm this --Aravind Parvatikar 06:32, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- I can confirm that the 1974 date is correct.
