Konkani words from other languages
Dear Gautamgoa, The words Duddu and Bhangar ARE used by Goenkars too. Christians from Madgaon used Bhangar and Duddu. So I have erased your statement as it involves Goans too. Cheers Hrishikesh Shenoy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.141.57 (talk) 15:53, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Add pictures
Hey Gautam, its good that local ppl are adding information on this cuisine. If you can add pictures of individual dishes, i do from my camera phone. See if thats possible. And i tried to describe each of the dishes, but with your local expertise you can do much more like it did with our cuisine in Hyderabadi cuisine article. Cheers!Randhirreddy 08:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Deepika Padukone
There have been many edit wars regarding whether she is a Kannadiga, Tuluva or a Konkani. U can check it in the edit summary. So whatever information u provide on her ethnicity should have a reference.Cheers.Kensplanet (talk) 13:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Shree Jnaneshwari Peetha
Hi , In case you are unaware ,the article Shree Jnaneshwari Peetha, has been nominated for deletion based on wikipedia's notability criteria. I guess you belong to the Daivadnya community. If so you could clarify some issues we are discussing on the Request for deletion here: Articles for deletion/Shree Jnaneshwari Peetha. Thanks. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 17:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Thanks for your response, but I wasn't looking for a reply on my talk page. It would be better if you look at the RFD here: Articles for deletion/Shree Jnaneshwari Peetha. Just go through the history of the RFD, so you will know how the conversation has progressed so far. Some of the editors have raiesd queries regarding the notability of the Peetha i.e. how manny followers does it have, what is the acceptablilty of the Guru in the community and the number of supporters/detractors in case of a conflict. As you know notability is an important criteria for keeping an article on Wikipedia. I have left a note there stating that I would ask you to reply since you would know these issues better. Take a look . You can vote too. In case you have any doubts about how to go about in an RFD , please let me know.--Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 07:32, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

List of GSB surnames
Hello, Gautamgoa. I have just seen your new article on Goud Saraswat Brahmin surnames. It would, I think, be more useful if titled "List of Goud Saraswat Brahmin surnames", as the meaning of the GSB abbreviation will not be clear to many readers. Do you object if I change it, leaving the current name as a redirect, or would you rather do it yourself? Tim Ross  (talk)  10:22, 14 June 2009 (UTC) I went ahead and moved the article, Gauamgoa. I hope you don't mind. Tim Ross  (talk)  11:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC) copyright tags that you can use.

 * "Almost everyone in Goa knows about contribution of daivajnas to arts ,literature,drama" is not needed. Solution: Remove from article. Names are enough.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Goud Saraswat Brahmin surnames
A tag has been placed on List of Goud Saraswat Brahmin surnames, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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. SR IN IV AS   12:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * As reviewing administrator I did not delete the article for it has meaningful content. However, such lists need to be sourced, or they cannot stand. You indicated it was moved--where did you move it from--this has to be specified, according to our rules for copyright. Please fix up both of these problems, and I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.  DGG (talk) 13:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It was moved within Wikipedia, DGG, from List of GSB surnames. I didn't think that the original title was very useful, and I changed it to a redirect. Sorry if I didn't follow proper procedures. In any case, I have no real knowledge of the subject matter. The article originator was actually User:Gautamgoa1984. I'll put a copy of this correspondence on his talk page. Tim Ross   (talk)  12:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Gautamgoa1984, you may wish to add some type of reference(s) to the article, indicating your source of information. Without that, as it says above, the article might well be deleted. Tim Ross   (talk)  12:17, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Karhade Brahmins history
Hi Gautam,

The additions to the Karhade Brahmins article where you mention that Karhade Bramins are descendents of the Sakas needs citations.

Searches on Google Scholar and Google Books gave no leads to verify that information.

Thanks,

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Subodhkerkar


A tag has been placed on User:Subodhkerkar, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/6062265/Artist-gets-death-threats-for-depicting-Ganesh-naked.html. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Daivajna surnames and Gotras


The article Daivajna surnames and Gotras has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No citations are present. After a long research I found no citations for these. So, its better to remove this from wikipedia."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
