[edit] April 2008
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Viluppuram (city). This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. If you need help moving this article, please feel free to write to my on my talk page. Thanks! (EhJJ)TALK 00:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying on my talk page. I've had a read through Wikipedia's naming convention for places. It sounds to me as though we should perhaps rename the article as Viluppuram, Tamil Nadu. This would make it similar to the various "Washington"s (both in the US and outside of the US) as here: Washington (disambiguation). What do you think? I am not familiar with Indian geography. Would this be an appropriate way to refer to this town? (EhJJ)TALK 04:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] S. Kumarasamy
The article is a good start. I would suggest listing the article at Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review and Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Peer review pages to receive suggestions for further improvement. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 01:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Peer review edits
Hi, while adding the S. Kumarasamy article in the WikiProject India Peer Review, you have mistakenly removed previous ones. Could you please revert your change and re-add? Salilb (talk) 15:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC) I have reverted your change. You'll need to re-add. Pls be careful not to remove the list of peer reviewers. Salilb (talk) 15:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:New images for Ashok Nagar, Chennai and neighbouring areas
Great..Thanks for asking. Here is what you do:
- To upload pictures
- If you have not done it yet, consider making your account a global account. Goto My Preferences...and select Manage Global Account. This way you don't have to create accounts in each Wikimedia website.
- Once you complete step 1, you can login into Commons with the same account.
- Upload your pictures to Commons. Commons is a media central repository for all Wikimedia websites (including English Wikipedia). Your pictures can be easily used across all language Wikipedias.
-
Use Notepad to create the following,
- == Summary ==
- {{Information|
- |Description= <insert description of the picture> at [[:en:Ashok Nagar|Ashok Nagar]], [[:en:Chennai|Chennai]], [[:en:India|India]]
- |Source=self-made
- |Date=<insert date here>
- |Author=<insert your username here>
- |Permission=See below
- |other_versions=
- }}
- == Licensing ==
- {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}}
- [[Category:Ashok Nagar]]
-
- On the upload form, you will select, "entirely my own work".
- Select your image file. Upload as is (whatever the size of the picture may be).
- Copy-paste the content from Notepad into description field of the upload form. Select a source file name and leave the rest of the fields blank.
- And then click Upload file. (The Notepad option was a suggestion, you can upload the image by manually entering the data on the upload form as well)
- Create the red-link category under Category:Chennai on Commons.
- Other notes
- If are looking to upload pictures of Chennai, this map may be helpful. It is feature that picks up coordinates from articles where images are needed and put them on a Google map.
- If you are techy and have a lot of pictures to upload, you can use this Perl script. If not, just upload one at a time. Just copy paste the notepad content for each picture, and make required changes (if any).
Please feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 01:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
