Why did you think that Hussain Sagar wasn't a structure? It's a "man-built" lake. So I figured it belonged in Category:Buildings and structures of India --Girish 03:37, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

North American Area Codes
I approve of what you have done to. I had done a little tidying there and you have continued the good work.

Do you think that List of North American area codes and List of California area codes should move to 'Level 0' of ?

I am currently fuming at the way the Americans have created lots of articles Area code xxx. As if the rest of the world did not have area codes (and as if there were no area codes for purposes other than telephony). Even though you and I (I suspect you are Indian) would both tend to call them STD codes. But I am inclined to let that pass - I have no intention of creating 800 or so articles about UK area codes.

If you reply, please do so on my talk page - top, bottom, middle as you wish. I have your page on my watch list but it's not so easy to see that what you were donig - unless of course you put something like 'for RHaworth' in the Edit summary. -- RHaworth 00:20, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)

Category:Named passenger trains vs. Category:Amtrak passenger trains
Hi. I noticed you've recategorized the articles that include Amtrak train details into Category:Amtrak passenger trains. The only potential problem is that many of Amtrak's train names were used long before Amtrak existed (i.e. California Zephyr and Empire Builder). The information on the historic trains doesn't necessarily belong in a category devoted entirely to Amtrak operations. Do you propose splitting these articles into articles for each of the historic periods (i.e. Empire Builder (Great Northern) and Empire Builder (Amtrak))? What about trains that operated jointly over several railroads like the California Zephyr (which was a joint venture of the Western Pacific Railroad, Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad)? Or, do we create categories for every railroad's passenger trains like Category:Western Pacific Railroad passenger trains and Category:Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad passenger trains and then use multiple categories for articles like these two?

Your thoughts? slambo 18:51, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, I would go for renaming the Amtrak passenger trains to United States Named Passenger Trains. Alren 21:03, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * But then what about the trains that cross the Canadian border, like Maple Leaf? It travels between New York, NY and Toronto, ON.  Shall we do Category:Named passenger trains of the United States and Category:Named passenger trains of Canada?  Frankly, this solution is more appealing to me as we're already doing something similar with Category:Railway companies of the United States and Category:Railway companies of Canada.  slambo 21:38, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

Copyright question
Alren - I saw your copyright question on the administrators talk page. Jamesday and I wrote the Wikipedia copyright FAQ, where we answered many of the most of the common copyright-related questions (including yours) in plain, simple english. See Copyright FAQ. &rarr;Raul654 10:13, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

I suppose that's a copyright violation that must be removed. See. -- Paddu 19:02, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Gujarati people
Hi, there. I see that you have contributed to a large number of articles on Gujarat. Though I am not a Gujarati by birth, I have been born and brought up in Vadodara. So Gujarat occupies a special place in my heart.

I had tried editing the Gujarati people page several times. But each time, my edits were reverted.

I also think that the page needs a lot more content than it has at the moment.

I would earnestly request you to do something about this page. Regards. Rajatjghai 20:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Project Gujarat
Hi. I noticed your comment on the talk page of Ahmedabad. Are you interested in helping me out with the Gujarat wikiproject and portal. The portal is well developed, but the project is still in it's initial stages. As there seem to be many Gujaratis here, we could do a good job of organising our efforts.

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.
