Unfortunately yes, it isn't visible until the user clicks the image. Deletion is not the best solution, and the best way is to modify the maps so that the tag is removed. =Nichalp  «Talk»=  05:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Brihaspati.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Brihaspati.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Re: Solar system
I'm editing Solar system at the moment, and was wondering what you wanted added to "de-Eurofy" the article. My feeling is that the article is already very long, and that the issue of geocentrism and heliocentrism is very well-covered elsewhere. I trimmed the "discovery" section from about six paragraphs to one, focusing on Europeans simply because Europeans invented the astronomical telescope, and thus were the first to study the solar system as a natural, geological entity. I hope I'm not offending you when I say this, but I have issues with the Indian inclusions in the astronomical articles anyway; they tend to be uncited and to make rather grandiose claims (such as Indian mystics discovered gravitation) that are not elaborated upon or explained.

Your edit to History of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system
Your recent edit to History of the Hindu-Arabic numeral system (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 14:59, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Bot says thank you. :) It really helps to see all red links turn blue. When I was filling infoboxes for politicians, almost all birth places turn red links. Now all towns should be there. Thanks again, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 01:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Reverting 101
1) A revert of a major edit is NOT a minor edit. (Rupee: history)

2) A revert needs an EXPLANATION. Your revert was right, I got it wrong. The edit which I reverted was not explained correctly. He really did add the template, not just suggest it as his edit note implied. (The templates are kind of tiny, which should be another problem to address on Wikipedia.) Was it really that hard to type in that the previous changes DID add the template? Reverting anyone's edit or revert, within one minute of the edit, with NO explanation, makes you look like a "revert-bot" or a sock-puppet of the previous editor. Just as you left me to figure out why my inept edit deserved to be reverted, likewise you have left anyone after us to figure out the same. --Whiner01 01:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Whiner01, sorry for the inconvenience. I do use an automated revert tool that marks a revert as a minor edit, and doesn't allow writing a custom made summary. I think your suggestion are quite useful, and I'll pass them on to the person who made the tool. Meanwhile, it's great that you figured out that the revert was indeed useful. The template is quite handy because it provides a uniform access to and from all Rupee related articles. Please feel free to improve the template in any way you can. Regards, deeptrivia (talk) 01:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I made other subtler tweaks on "Rupee"; let's see if they help.

I also adjusted Category:Rupee some, all formatting changes. I think I changed this category box for the better.

I have caught a gross problem that seems to affect most or all category boxes, having smaller print than the main article and italic instead of bold, thereby REDUCING visibility of the linked related topics that they are supposed to highlight.

If my style changes to that category box are for the better, then I would hope that the differences will get copied to other category pages. Sadly, I think the opposite will happen. My changed box is outnumbered by other boxes, so it is very likely that someone will come through and, in the name of Consistency (god), will restore the category page to small-print unreadability, not thinking of the drawbacks. I would look for a way to Meta-fix the category boxes, but sadly they are not using only template features. Every (?) category box seems to have font size specified within it, a very wrong thing. --Whiner01 02:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

If you need any help with translations and text formatting for Hindi Wikipedia, I would be glad to help.

Iqbal
Hi DT - problems have emerged again on Muhammad Iqbal. I request you to please help in dealing with fighting the insertion of POV edits and trolling. This Fire Burns....Always  20:11, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm SICK of being accused of vandalism without any explanation whatsoever. If you really have any factual reasons for deleting other people's edits, I'd like to hear them!! Do you know what the discussion page is for? Rama's opinions are not absolute. So, please follow rules and let's have an intellectual discussion that is based on facts and not nationalistic whims. --66.25.124.237 23:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

"India" and "Indian"
Hi - I've had some detailed talks with user:Spasage on the sensitive issue of national identity between India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. We've come up with some ideas on how to resolve the problem, through a disambiguation page for both "India" and "Indian." Obviously its a big move, so please weigh in here.

Re: List of cognate terms in Vedic and Avestan mythology
Good article. Interestingly I've found a full Avestan Yasna with a complete Avestan-to-Persian dic. (including original Avestan words in Avestan alphabet). I believe it could be quite useful there in Vedic and Avestan mythology article. --Amir85 06:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

oh dear
why is it so predictable that any article title containing "India" will immediately be emulated at s/India/Pakistan/. This is all so childish, I think I need a wikibreak... dab (&#5839;) 13:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Proposal
Hi, I am posting this message to everyone who has edited on animal rights or animal welfare related articles in the last couple of months. I have just created a proposal for a WikiProject to help co-ordinate editors on the many articles under the mentioned subjects. If you would like to find out about it or show your support for such a project, please visit User:Localzuk/Animal Rights Proposal and WikiProject/List of proposed projects.

Hi DT,

Looks like my prayers were heard. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:37, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * So you were to start editing today irrespective of my message? I have a cool sense of timing. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Hi! I saw in Ambuj's talk page that you are back. Hopefully Ladakh will see loads of activities now. And also excited to see the photos.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi DT,
 * Great photos. Am checking the whole list now. I retouched the Lehpanorama.jpg image. There were color defects and blown up highlights, though I couldn't eliminate the blown up highlights completely. I also left you a message on your commons talk page. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Chandragupta Page
Hello Deeptrivia,

Seems like the History of India project is going well. Anyhow, I just wanted to bring to the attention of the group that a number of users are degrading the quality of some articles, i.e. Chandragupta Maurya, etc. Namely, rather than outlining facts accepted by scholarship, quotes from works are appropriated and deployed for the purpose of developing opinion. Accordingly, Greek influence and achievements are being aggrandized throughout Alexander's and Menander's era. Moreover, entire paragraphs of works from primary sources are being dumped in to support philhellenic rather than balanced perspectives that hurt the readability of the articles. Perhaps some type of group watch should be considered. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I was going to post this first on the project page, but seems like you're well-placed to point out what project perspectives on this may be.

Best Regards,

Devanampriya

Pattern of vandalism
Hi deeptrivia :).

I'm Rentwa, I've added my name to the Project Buddhism list and started a Zen collaboration (I'd love it if you'd vote on some of the articles or even add one or two nominations, btw!).

Nat Krause suggested I try some patrolling, and I came across a nasty bit of vandalism on the theme of Middle Way = Eightfold Path - the vandal(s) seems to be a persistent Buddhism/Hinduism vandal.

I reverted changes in Eightfold path, Middle way and Buddhism and left warnings at various IPs, including but not limited to:

65.88.88.200 (eightfold path)

66.149.9.127

68.120.157.55 (middle way)

207.166.8.2 (middle way)

all of which deserve an indefinite block without further ado IMO (although I always tend to shoot first :) )
