Another Tip of the moment... Wikipedia's alphabetical index of articles Sometimes it is useful to look up a topic in the same way you would look it up in a paper Encyclopedia - manually. Perhaps you are unsure of the precise spelling, or maybe you are interested in a word root which has many applications, such as "self-". Wikipedia has an index of all of its articles, with a few ways available for accessing it. The first is the Wikipedia:Quick index, also presented as "A-Z index" on the Main Page. The next is the All pages item in the Special pages menu accessible from the left sidebar in the toolbox menu. The last method of accessing Wikipedia's index is the with this link: Special:Prefixindex, which you can place on your user page or a talk page for convenient access. Type the beginning of the article's name into the Display pages with prefix box and press Go. You will now see a list of all pages which begin with what you typed. You can reduce the number of articles displayed in this list by typing more of the name and pressing Go again. You can also find Wikipedia users in a similar way by changing the entry in the drop-down box labelled Namespace, from Main to User.

Collaboration

I'm pushing a collaboration to complete the list of basic space exploration topics.

Should be fun. Drop on by.  ;)

Also, see my post to User talk:Quiddity#Basic topic lists if you want to delve in deeper.

Pirooz

User:Intothefire has once again added the erroneous info about Pirooz I to Pirooz (II). I have reverted the change and provided proof that he is wrong. There is an article for the 'correct' Peroz I that he is thinking of. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 06:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I have deleted the unrelated material from the talk page. If he continues to add it, I will contact an administrator to straighten things out. I explained to him on his talk page that he was confusing one for the other. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

Name change request

Please add your opionion to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tamil_civilization#Name_question please. Thanks Taprobanus (talk) 15:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

There have been two responses after your statement. When you have time please respond. Thanks Taprobanus (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

You've suggested a perfect solution, Tamil heritage. Then to satisfy your request regarding too many SL Tamil related articles, please add mainland related articles that we are unaware of but you think you should be included Taprobanus (talk) 13:39, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

T. Rajendar

Hi, you have not explained why you have reverted the edits of User:Redddogg, I'd like to cite you WP:BLP: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles". I have adressed the problem here. Feel free to join the discussion.Cenarium (talk) 02:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

AIV reports

Hey! Thanks for helping out in combating vandalism and reporting vandals at WP:AIV. A couple of your recent reports have not been compliant with guidelines, however. You might want to read Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism. Specifically, we always warn editors before blocking. If the person stops vandalising in response to a warning, there is no need to block. This is especially important for IP addresses, since we have no way to tell that the same person is editing from the same IP address each time (for example, the computer may be located in a High School computer lab, or an internet cafe; or it could be dynamically assigned to a different user by the ISP every time a new user logs in to that ISP). Thus, not only should you assure that the IP address has been warned, and has vandalised since the most recent warning, but that the vandalism has followed shortly after (usually within a few minutes) the prior warning. Thanks so much for your help in fighting vandalism, it is MUCH appreciated, but please assure that your reports to AIV are compliant, since it takes administrators time to investigate each report, and we want to make sure such investigations are fruitful and necessary. Good luck and happy editing! --Jayron32.talk.contribs 16:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

That was pretty long ago. I had already been messaged with regard to this a couple of days ago and I have'nt reported any IP since.-Ravichandar 03:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Check the date dude. I did leave the message a couple of days ago... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Iyer

Let's keep the discussion here. Thanks Taprobanus (talk) 18:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I see you have nominated it for WP:GA, but do take a look at similar Amish article as to how it is written to get GA status. Taprobanus (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Well the article in general seems to have too many sections and is trying to overwhelm us with a lot of information. In my view it should be structured along how other ethnic group articles are written. Can have general sections like Identity, History, Religion, Society, Language, Politics, Migration. Underneath each section have no more than 2 paragraphs, if more then it should be peeled off as seperate article and bring it down to one paragraph. Just my opinion Taprobanus (talk) 15:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

An encyclopedic article has no such flavors, whether you read Britanica or the New Standard encyclopedia, they are written with a professional flavor. Wikipedia should be no better or worse but free, that is the catch. Once we understand that then our attitude towards this human endeavor will change qualitatively.

Warning to wrong editor

Wikipedia:New contributors' help page#Vandalism is about this warning by you. I guess it was given for this edit and you accidentally warned the author of the former revision. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Sneha.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Sneha13.JPG. The copy called Image:Sneha13.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 17:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Dalit Matangi?

Hi, are you sure the section on the Matangi Avatar should be completely removed from the Dalit article? I have read that the Goddess Matangi is worshiped as a protecter of Dalits and "outcastes." Could it be reworded perhaps?--AaronCarson (talk) 12:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC) Fair enough.--AaronCarson (talk) 11:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Guilty Pleasure AfD closure

WP:DPR#NAC says that non-admins should only close AfDs if there is a clear "keep" consensus, which this AfD did not have (2 keeps with no actual reasons for keeping and 1 merge). I suggest that you consider reverting your edits. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 13:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you ignoring this or will you respond? I only ask because I notice you've edited since the above post. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 15:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I just realized that you neglected to finish closing the AfD. Notices are still on the articles and the talk page templates have not been added. You might want to take care of that when you get a chance. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 23:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Deletion Review for Guilty Pleasure

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Guilty Pleasure. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 18:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
