Sorry. Thank you for explaining it to me.Deavenger (talk) 17:37, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for mentioning that. I am, however, appalled by his tirade against editors including myself. Sudharsansn (talk · contribs) 01:29, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

FAR process is strange!
FAR can be strange, taking at least a month to complete, and the comments may play out in various ways. There are two stages. In stage one, Review commentary, the article is nominated with reasons for the nomination. Editors make various comments here, noting problems with the article and sometimes fixing the problems themselves. In stage two, FARC commentary, editors discuss whether the article should be delisted from FA or not.

An example of a FAR I nominated is Featured article review/Augustan literature. This article was written primarily one editor, and was owned by that editor who chose not to participate in the FAR process. Other editors commented, mostly defending that editor, and there was some unfriendly dialogue, including that by Disinfoboxman which he put in a hide/unhide box. Now the article has been moved to the FARC commentary stage.

If you read through the other listings on Featured article review, you can see that there is no standard way that an FAR proceeds, despite the directions at the top (which I don't think are very clear).

My only other involvement in FAR was Featured article review/Augustan drama/archive1 was delisted, even though most editors commenting defended the article and its editor. The decision was based on the failure of the article to meed the FA criteria by the time the FAR reached the FARC commentary period.

My suggestion to you would be to examine the Featured article criteria and evaluate the article accordingly if you want to comment more. It is unfortunate that the tone on the FAR for this article is so ugly, worse than my experience. Before the restart I thought your approach was helpful and neutral. However, with the nasty tone of the restarted FAR, I can see why you would not want to be involved. now. Regards, &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 21:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Apologies
I hope you don't think I'm being rude or aggressive towards you on Talk:India. The last sentence of your last comment - the one ending "lol" gives me the impression that I may have offended or annoyed you or perhaps come across as being patronising. If so, I apologise - that was definitely not my intention. -- Arvind (talk) 21:26, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

"In the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, his stance was further critized by the public citing the fact that many of the NSG commandoes deployed were not Marathis."

proper References have been made here. Pls dont delete.

"Please be aware that we have several policies and guidelines we need to abide by. Please also make sure that you click every link in the previous message and read them carefully and let me know if you have any questions. "

whihc message are u talking abt?

and also, what I had added was perfectly leghitimate...whats wrong there?

Please tell me what exactly in those guidelines I have violated!!


 * relevance.  Docku:  What up?  04:03, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

who else is it relevant to? his stance on outsiders was widely criticised, therefore it deservers mention in his article!!! that criticism of his stand - its relevant and significant and citation has been provided!!!

Some SMS took a shot at Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray. "Where is Raj Thackery and his `brave' sena? Tell him that 200 NSG commandos have been sent to save Mumbai and fight terrorists so that he can sleep peacefully. The Indian army has Indians and not marathis, UPites or biharis alone," said a message with sender requesting to forward to all Indians so that it finally reaches the coward bully Raj Thackeray. Another read, "What is Raj Thackeray's phone number. Where is he when his `amchi Mumbai' needs him."
 * you want the SMS sent by an anonymous person added in this article?  Docku:  What up?  04:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * D! first of all, it was not a sole SMS. read both sources. It reported several instances of public opinion. Secondly it didnt imply that "NO Marathi Commando" participated - what it implied is that "a lot of non-Marathi commandoes particpated ALSO" - which led to questioning of Raj's stance on non-marathi employment in Mumbai. It therefore is perfectly relevant in this article of Raj, and if you dont want to put it there, thats fine, I have better things to do. There is nothing in the wikipedia rules that object to the edit which you deleted.

If there was public criticism on Bush's stance or actions, it would find a place in his article, which you can check.

Seasons Greetings
Docku, my very best wishes for the festive season stay safe and talk to you in 2009.-- VS  talk 11:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Greetings and thanks
You are too kind, but yes, you understand what I was trying to say perfectly, sorry for my odd style of speaking.

As a human being, I'm sure that when human society had less concrete facts, they were more superstitious. Sceptics would have been considered not to be "team players", "partypoopers", "bah humbugging" Scrooges and discriminated against in many ways. I also think governments have exploited the religious sentiments of ordinary people to whip up support for their agendas, and to suppress minorities when convenient. Most importantly, I think these things are so likely to be true that serious scholastic experts will have explained them. Finally, I think Azure instinctively knows these things and is frustrated as a mean coyote because instead of finding people who can help him source and document them, he feels he's getting a dose of persecution unique to the Wiki environment.

To be honest, I think he's pushed way too hard, and others have been pretty generous and wise. But that doesn't change the fact that the article needs cool-headed, hard-workers, willing to be open-minded while addressing what is a more abstract idea than television, newspapers, and other parts of the internet provide.

But, you, you yourself Docku, by the perceptiveness of your reading of my comments, your willingness to respond to them personally and kindly ... you Docku, give me hope for discussion at that article and for progress. I could be wrong, but I think sourcing it is going to be hard, especially if it is supposed to be a list of "60 minutes" human interest stories, rather than a serious subject deal with based on the work of sociologists, philosophers and historians who are not being alarmist, but responsibly documenting human social vices.

I'm going to be busy for a month. But please, from February onwards, if you are still involved in the article and you need help there. I would be delighted to try to assist. And I would love to try to assist you personally Docku, in any Wiki "situation" in which you might find yourself.

Very best wishes, Alastair Haines (talk) 00:28, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Non-Malayali Keralites
You may not have noticed all the other comments in this AfD discussion. Basically, the other editors had come to an agreement to keep most of the content, but within a broader article: Kerala ethnic groups and without some unsourced commentary on non-Malayam ethnic groups under the headings "Identity" and "Love for Malayalam language". This article's title would redirect to the broader article. I fully agree that "Ethnically divisive" is a wrong reason to delete an article. Nobody is now suggesting that the main content be dropped. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:34, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I feel Non-Malayali Keralites, itself, is an inappropriate name. I guess the fact that it is a neologism too matters as much as the fact that the article is not broad in coverage.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 17:36, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * To simplify, be saying that it is "ethnically divisive", I meant that it was POV. There is a "Malayali identity"; so we have an article for Malayali people. But is there an unique Non-Malayali Keralite identity- The Enforcer Office of the secret service  17:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

true. I dont know anyone though. But, we should be able to judge if these references


 * 1)  History of Tamil Nadu, 1565-1982 Page 277 By K. Rajayyan
 * 2)  Anatomy of a folklore, ottan kathai By M. Immanuel
 * 3)  Manadu(Tamil) Page 6 By Tacaratan (Madras, India)
 * 4)  Natar varalaru(Tamil) By Mocacu Ponnaiya

are reliable.. I am skeptical about these books. We shouldnt be bothered by authors who try to give Historic authentcity to widely talked about legends. The redflag would be if all these authors are themselves Nadars or otherwsie propgandists. -- Docku:  What's up?  17:53, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Pudukkottai Rajas
Hi! Since you've been editing articles related to Pudukkottai state previously, I wish to ask of you a favour. I've created the following articles by moving content wrongly placed in Pudukkottai district page. I do not know how long I'm gonna be here. So could you cleanup and expand these articles when you get time? I fear that they rely a bit too much on a single source. And there is a very great chance that they could get deleted if no cleanup is done. - The Enforcer Office of the secret service 12:10, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

 * No probs. No need of expansion. I took the stuff out of Pudukkottai district and I suspect that the user who had added it to the article had include copyvio info. I do not like to see these articles getting deleted. So, a cleanup would simply be enough. By the way, I expect more career responsiblities to arise over the next few months.

You only mentioned that he did something at a local level. This is why you need to explain why he is notable enough for a wikipedia article. If you think of each article from a world perspective, why would the man be notable to somebody in say Bogota?

Speedy deletion of H. Vasanthakumar
A tag has been placed on H. Vasanthakumar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
