I moved the discussion from PAIN to AN/I, which is where it belongs so the most people can see it. --Woohookitty(meow) 15:32, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, Nick has been banned now. I actually knew him before he came to wiki. I met him in one of the groups on orkut. He was trying to advertise Kochi there. I coaxed him into releasing some of the photos of Kochi that he had taken, under a free license, so that I could use them on wikipedia. I got to know Alniko was Nick only after some time of his appearance here. Once on wiki, well, he was asking for a ban. Anyways, all the best with your work on the TVM article. Now you are work in peace, eh? ;-) Cheers! -- thunderboltza.k.a.D e epu Joseph18:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Trivandrum review and another site
Sorry, marannu poyi. I'll do the rest this weekend. The books that Deepu mentioned are Kochirajyacharithram and the article on Kochi in Sarvavijnanakosam. The Sarvavijnankosam that I have access to has only the first eight (out of twenty) volumes and does not have 'tha'. In the link mentioned in User_talk:Deepujoseph/Archive_6, there is a massive four volume History of Kerala. It should contain a lot of good stuff but looking them up can be time consuming.

Review

 * The table at the end of Thiruvananthapuram_district looks odd. Something should be done about it.
 * There should be more references, especially where you have quoted numbers.
 * Climate contains some readings in Fahrenheit and some in Celsius. For Indian articles, I think we have to use Celsius throughout.
 * The line Nestled in the lap of the Western Ghats, a wild life sanctuary is fastly growing over an area of nearly 777 km². around this reservoir. stands on its own. It is not mentioned what this sanctuary is.
 * What are reserved and vested forests ?
 * In some places Thiruvananthapuram is used, and Trivandrum in others. I have fixed some but there may be others. When a name is used multiple times, it needs to be linked only on the first occasion.
 * The table for 'major agriculture' should use another format. The current one doesn't look too good.
 * Tourist centres should be compressed or cut down. This is too long now.

Also take a look at the relevant features articles listed in Notice board for India-related topics (Chennai, Bangalore, Malwa, Lothal etc) which will give more ideas on how to pattern the article. I am mostly checking only for errors. After modifications and reviews by Malayalis, we should show it to some good editor like Sundar or Rama's Arrow for suggestions and improving the language. Then we can go for a formal review. Tintin (talk) 14:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I couldnt find the page.. Well, I am now creating it. Thanks

Reg: Thiruvananthapuram
Hi,

Sorry about the confusion, I meant "Inline references". The article has four inline references, that too in the form of external links embedded in the article text. For an article of this size, the typical number of inline reference found are in the range 25–40. The actual count would vary depending on the number of significant claims made in the article. Hope this clears your doubts. Regards, — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Chandragiri.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Chandragiri.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Syrthiss 18:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Same thing with Image:Techpark01.jpg, Image:Technopark02.jpg and Image:Technopark03.jpg. Syrthiss 23:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like you have taken care of it, tho I am unsure of the fairuse tag (as they are merely used for decoration in the article, which seems contrary to fairuse guidelines). If he is the photographer, can he release them to us under GFDL or Creative Commons licenses? Syrthiss 12:17, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Chetto! Please check your scrapbook.-- thunderboltza.k.a.D e epu Joseph 11:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Trivendrum
Hi Rajith,

The process typically runs for 7~10 days, though there aren't fixed rules. Today was the seventh day and there weren't any objections, so I have promoted it. Start preparing the article for FAC. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 13:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Re: Blocks etc

Oh, I could not attend to your request for some reasons, and now the matter has become old. I think that in the meantime, someone may have done the needful. Please feel free to message me for anything. Regards. --Bhadani 13:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of images
Greetings. You asked about my deletion of several images. These images were listed on WP:CP for over a week before being deleted. The admin who deletes the images is not asked to inform the uploader. The person who lists the images for deletion will often inform the uploader (I did not list the images), but this is merely a courtesy, and not a requirement, for copyright violations. The reason is, WP:CP is not a debate forum but a listing to protect Wikipedia from the illegal use of images. If an image is a copyright violation, there is little the uploader can do.

In this case, although fair use was asserted, the use of these images fails our fair use criteria for using images on Wikipedia. Specifically, criterion one requires that it be impossible to create a similar image under a free license. Since anyone could photograph those buildings, there is no need to infringe on someone's copyright to do so. It's best to read WP:FUC carefully before uploading any unfree copyrighted images.

All the best, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 11:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
