Tiptur
Hey Leotolstoy, Why did you remove our contribution under Tiptur?? Have you ever been there? Is anything wrong with you? Please justify your action.

FYI, I have visited Tiptur a few times and my home is less that 50 miles from that place. But that does not matter. If you present evidences along with your edits I will gladly accept any changes you make. I suggest you to read No_original_research and Verifiability before editing. Anyways I would prefer to have this discussion on Talk:Tiptur than here. Leotolstoy 17:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Kaveri River
Hi Leotolstoy. Thank you for adding the info box to Kaveri River. Unfortunately, in my browser, it gets mixed with the table of contents. I have poor eyesight and so I have text larger than many people. Perhaps you know how to fix this. If not, I will try. However, I did wish to make you aware of the problem, so that if possible it can be avoided in the future. --BostonMA 16:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks, that fixed it! :-) --BostonMA 16:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Kittur.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kittur.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 22:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to India project
 Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Please participate in any of our descendant workgroups that might interest you.
 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
 * Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Ganeshk ( talk ) 18:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

UMass Amherst
Hi, I noticed you've been helping out with the UMass Amherst article. You asked a question about Tim Wu. Tim Wu lives on my floor. He's not a noted alumni. If you look through the history of the article, you'll see various spam comments about the sexual exploits of the same Tim Wu. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help on the UMass Amherst article.

Tourism
Thanks for working on Karnataka page. Instead of making the Tourism section very short, please consider creating a concise paragraph for it and attach a main article linked to it giving full details of tourism with . The whole idea is not only bring out the beauty of Karnataka, but also help improve tourism in the state. Providing full details in a seperate linked page really helps rather than just deleting existing material.Dineshkannambadi 18:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Karnataka tourism
Karnataka tourism is an interesting article, but it seems wholly inappropriate for wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a tourist guide, so it's not really appropriate to use the same sort of voice or topic. You might want to try submitting that material at Wikitravel, or rewriting it to be more in line with our content policies and style guide. I'd especially recommend that you read up on WP:NPOV, along with the No original research policy, which prohibits inserting opinions (your own or others) into articles as fact.

Requests for adminship/Leotolstoy
Hello! I have temporarily removed your RfA link on the RfA page as it needs some attention. I think that the nomination statement currently appears at the bottom of the page - this needs to go in the YOUR DESCRIPTION OF THE USER section. Some editors will see this as a mark against you, which doesn't have to be the case at all. The link can be easily reinserted when the page is formatted. Regards and good luck with your application!

Your RFA
For what it's worth, even though I had voted oppose on your RFA, I complained (well, gently objected) to Steel359 for closing it early. You may want to ask this user directly about the early closing. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 01:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Your RfA was snowballed because there were five times the number of opposes to supports and it was clear that it wasn't going to pass. You yourself said that you intended to withdraw it. Nothing productive would have resulted from leaving the RfA open. Early closure of RfAs is not uncommon. -- Steel 14:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Steel359, I agree with everything except "Nothing productive would have resulted from leaving the RfA open." Most editors in this case will state the reasons behind an oppose, which can be useful information to the nominee.  Since Leo had twice stated his desire to keep the RfA open, I think that this should not have been closed by an admin, but rather only by a bureaucrat. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 20:18, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Bangalore International Airport Limited
Hi Leotolstoy, You are one of the active contributors among Karnataka and airport related articles. Can you please look into the discussion I have initiated in User_talk:Indiandefender2's page regarding, the article name on "Bangalore International Airport Limited" ? If you have any inputs, please provide. Thanks - KNM Talk 21:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Jim Kurose
Jim Kurose has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Dravidian Wiki Project
Hello Leotolstoy,

I saw your edit on Dravidian topics template. It was a pleasant surprise to see someone taking part in editing the Dravidian topics template in regards to Dravidian culture since I have thought of forming a Dravidian Wiki Project. This will help expand on the topics of different Dravidian ethnic groups such as the Kannadigas, Telugus, Tamils, Malayalis, and more Dravidian groups. This project will also go beyond borders to include the Brahui Dravdians of Pakistan, and the Malto people of Bangladesh. It will also expand on the dances, arts, and literature of each Dravidian group in South Asia. Furthermore, the Dravidian people page needs a lot of work to be done due to vandals and others changing the info on the page and filling it with major POVs. So much so, the page on Dravidian people has been turned into a propoganda tool to discredit Dravidians for their existence. Earlier, I have put a map showing the different regions Dravidians are in along with some pics of different Dravidians, Vedda Dravidians, and Australian aboriginals to show similarities. On the Talk:Dravidian people there is a small discussion in regards to the existence of Dravidians. Therefore, I have put a neutralitiy/factual accuracy tag and a cleanup tag on the page. Administration has been notified of this. Having you on this team would be a plus and starting a Dravidian Wiki Project would be of benefit to wikipedia and its readers for further knowledge of other cultures. Please let me know if you would be interested. Regards.

Wiki Raja 23:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello again,

I have also created the Dravidian martial arts page. We can do more with Dravidian Wiki Project. Also, it would be great if someone could get me info on martial arts in Karnataka and Andra Pradesh. Take care.

UMassWiki
Hello! I'd just like to remind you that there's an entire wiki devoted to UMass at umasswiki.com? Please stop by and make some edits or add articles! We've been around over a year and are serving up to 90,000 pages a month, but we could really use more good editors. :) --Neurophyre(talk) 09:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Reverting your edit
Please do not add unhelpful and non-constructive information to Wikipedia. Your edits could be considered vandalism, and they have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. -Bouncingmolar 05:10, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Karnataka cleanup
Hi Leo, I was trying to cleanup the Karnataka article. I saw that you've also tried to do the same. I've created dedicated articles for almost all sections because all of them were way too long. Now we need to summarise each of those sections so the article can conform to WP:SS. Let me know. Sarvagnya 05:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Politics of Karnataka


A tag has been placed on Politics of Karnataka, 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.

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 "Click here to 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.
