[edit] India Image Rotation
Hey, You recently showed concern about my edits on the India culture rotation page. You accused me of unilaterally editing and making undiscussed changes to the culture images. Let me point out that as per the culture rotation vote, all of my edits were agreed upon and discussed way before I added them.
Contrastingly, User:Fowler&fowler "reverted" my unilateral edits with his own additions, which had NEVER been discussed. He replaced the image of Shiva (which had 6 people for inclusion in the rotation and 3 against) with the Toda Hut image (which had 1 user for and 9 against) here.He also added an image of [[Brihadeeswarar temple] which had NEVER been discussed or agreed upon for inclusion in the rotation. So maybe, it is not I who is making unilateral edits, but rather he who is sneaking his own images while trying to "revert" my "unilateral" edits.

[edit] Copyediting
Hi. I'd like to help, but I'm overwhelmed at the moment. It's a matter of many projects and not enough time. Perhaps someone else at WP:LoCE can help or perhaps a volunteer listed at WP:PRV. Finetooth (talk) 17:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Great pics
Nice to hear you found them appropriate for the article. I still think the article should have one more picture of Taxi. Those poor guys had been the most impacted and should be highlighted in the article. --gppande «talk» 13:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copyediting from the Pianista
Hi, I'm so sorry I couldn't get back sooner! Right now, I'm getting killed (and have been getting killed in the past few days) by a nasty sinus infection, and so I haven't been up to WP duties lately. I'll hopefully be back in a few days. And have a cake (I haven't sneezed on it or touched it. And I washed my hands, twice.) =) --LaPianista! 20:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review of 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra
Technically it can not be reopened. You can only initiate new peer review. However I think it is better to close any peer review before nominating an article. Ruslik (talk) 14:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] IP post
Oh no, I am extremely sorry for the misunderstanding. I replied to the IP separately, it wasn't directed to you. When answering your Jisha's post, I just wanted you to know (as general knowledge) that the Rs 2500 that you initially thought was the peak values on BSE was actually the intra day trading for that company's share. That was the magnitude of one share we are talking about. I was tempted to give away this detail when you answered the first time just to give you an indication that you were way off target, but I resisted it as it would be a clue. Now cheer up. :) I've noticed your contributions on WP and I was fully assured that you could not be that IP post. So, no offence taken and hope this clears the air. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] DYK
Thanks for the DYK idea. Let me finish the list of 19th century famines, and then we could submit something to them. 14:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: adminship?
Well, I cannot go for it now. First, I am not well versed in the administrative processes, at least the processes that one should participate in before RfA (for example, AfD). Second, I shall be active in wikipedia till mid June. After that I fear I won't be able to give considerable time here.
Thanks for asking though :) --Dwaipayan (talk) 16:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:made some changes to Nagpur article
Thanks for wikifying Nagpur's page. For Taxi image, I searched through Flickr, and some more image libraries but couldn't find anything which showed MNS people attacking Taxi's. All images are copyrighted. We do have certain images in Flickr which show Mumbai Taxi's, will that do? --gppande «talk» 07:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, Lets see, I will upload a image under tag WP:Fair use and see if any bot or admin gets upset. --gppande «talk» 08:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Check this Image:Raj Thackeray as Hitler.jpg I just now uploaded. I am not sure if anyone will shout at me for this image on Wikipedia but lets wait for day or 2 and see. Maybe on Monday we could add it to the article. --gppande «talk» 09:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Even though nobody has yet asked any question yet, I think the note below the tag can raise questions.
Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed. --gppande «talk» 09:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

- Ha ha, that was nice catch... I didn't knew about Pande-ism. People keep asking me so you are Marathi. BTW, after posting the message to your talkpage I read the note clearly and thought that image fits the unless part. unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. I think we have a point, cover page was directed towards the incident (about which the article is written). An article should have the media coverage information in it. MNS people had burnt the magazine after it got published. This is valid point that can support the argument. Here is the news link [1] I think lets add the image to article and see. --gppande «talk» 11:05, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Pather Panchali
Is nbsp needed between the word and the emdash? I don't know about it. AFAIK, unspaced emdash, or, spaced endash, either one is the choice. Please have a re-look. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:12, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Copyedit
I might get around to it if I have time. If I may make a quick suggestion though: recast the first sentence, so that it's not so repetitive and self-evident. Perhaps something like, "In 2008, attacks on North Indians in the state of Maharashtra, India increased (surged?) after..." BuddingJournalist 17:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 2008 caste violence in Rajasthan
Nice start. I would suggest nominate it to WP:TDYK as it satisfies all criteria for WP:DYK. This way, you can attract readers and good wikipedians to help in the article. --gppande «talk» 12:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks and a request
Hi KnowledgeHegemonyPart2, thanks for your support at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Cogan_House_Covered_Bridge. It appears that you inadvertantly added two supports here: diff and only one can count - could you please strike one support (preferably the unsigned one) so that SandyGeorgia has an accurate count of Supports? Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 13:09, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your very fast response. It is no problem - I had not even realized the problem until SandyGeorgia and GrahamColm figured it out. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 13:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra
I like the new images and also like having the timeline at the end of the article. I did notice a few typos still. Good luck with the GA nomination! Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- I fixed the typos I found in the first half of the article - up to Exodus. I am sorry but I don't have time to go through the rest. I added several {{fact}} tags where there was what appeared to be a direct quotation without a cite. The MOS says the reference should come right after the quote, so, although my guess is the ref given a sentence or two later is for the quote as well, it needs to be cited. I also split the Feb 13 paragraph as it was very long. Feel free to revert any changes I made and good luck, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 15:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- Couldn't stay away - I do not understand this sentence but it needs to be fixed (unclear): Railway officials said that such a large crowd of people had been witnessed after a long time since the Sinhasta Kumbha Mela in 2003–2004. I think it means something like Railway officials said that this was the largest crowd using the railroad since the Sinhasta Kumbha Mela in 2003–2004. but am not sure. Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 18:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New map?
Hey,
One suggestion. Article header shows the entire Maharashtra. Should we have a map which shows only those districts which are affected due to this violence? I have listed these many districts from the article where some or other incident happened. Mumbai, Thane, Nashik, Pune, Jalna, Beed, Aurangabad and Latur. Do you think this is a nice idea? I can make a map for this.
On other note - I was surprised why this line got included in the article?
The apex court made the observation while upholding the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's move to ban the sale of meat in the town during nine-day "Paryushan festival" observed by the Jain community.

[edit] 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra Images
The main image concern I would note is the use of both Image:Mumbai violence 20080205.jpg and Image:Mumbai 20080212.jpg. WP:NFCC#3A requires minimal usage (i.e. we can't use two fair use images when one is sufficient to provide the necessary understanding); as both images depict participates and an attack and even have identical purpose statements, I think one needs to go (it doesn't matter which). Note also that both are ca. 0.2 megapixels (low resolution is generally considered 0.1 megapixels) and both are missing the "portion used" field in the rationale template.
The other images appear to be in good shape. The GA review was woefully inadequate in its articulation of concerns, so I'm afraid I don't know why the review would have failed 6A (reviewers rarely engage NFCC). There are some image-related MoS issues (no left-aligned images under level two headers per WP:MOS#Images and misuse of periods in captions per WP:MOS#Captions), but the GA criteria do not require compliance with those MoS sections.

[edit] Changes to Chola Dynasty
Hi, I noticed the changes you've made to this article which, incidentally, is in FAR, and I must admit that I'm a bit intrigued. From what I have come to understand, endashes must be used between dates (1010–-1200 CE) and page numbers (pp 217–218). I spent a considerable amount of time changing hyphens in these instances to endashes during the course of the FAR and I noticed that you have reverted those back, so I am curious to know what's wrong. WP:MOSDASH states this with respect to the usage of endashes:
- To convey the sense of to or through, particularly in ranges (pp. 211–19, 64–75%, the 1939–45 war, May–November) and where movement is involved (Dublin–Belfast route).
--Madhu (talk) 08:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- It took me quite a while to figure out what you've said.. Let me confirm if I understood it right. You're saying that instead of using the &ndash, I should be using this '—' (longer dash from the 'Insert' box below)? --Madhu (talk) 09:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Nagpur
Yes, Nagpur needs lot of work. I am not getting free images of Nagpur on net. I recently replaced image of Deekshabhumi with a better one. Currently I am working on supporting articles of Nagpur. Recently wrote Raman Science Centre and would write one on Nagpur Improvement Trust too. Such articles help gather info for the city which can be consolidated later.
