Marathi "moo"
Hello

if I'm not mistaken, you speak the Marathi language. Could you please check the Marathi translation of the noun "moo". It says "( हम्मा ??, hammaa ??)" since me and a friend of mine didn't know. Could you confirm/correct? Thank you Mallerd (talk) 20:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much Mallerd (talk) 11:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Timeline of November 2008 Mumbai attacks.jpg
Image:Timeline of November 2008 Mumbai attacks.jpg This is a great image! However, it is almost unreadable at the current size. Would it be possible to provide a SVG file and/or a larger size? Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 14:16, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure about SVG... but ill try enlarging and enhancing the text. Manish EarthTalk •  Stalk 09:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Devanagari
I am attempting to manipulate Devanagari text using Unicode strings in Tcl/Tk and HTML. I am seeing differing results on MacOS-X (10.4.*) versus WinXP. Can you tell me which Devanagari font is recommended? (I think that I am using Sanskrit98 or s2000) I see uninterpreted Unicode characters 0904, 0971, 0972,097b-097f in the Devanagari Unicode table on both my platforms.

There seems to be some lack of predictability in the way in which diacritical characters become positionally transposed with the characters they act upon when drawn in Tcl/Tk (ActiveState ActiveTcl 8.4.*) versus HTML. (Mozilla Firefox 3.0.6) Also, Browser -> View Selection Source does not help one deduce the coded values of the Biconsonantal conjuncts. So, I am currently composing Sanskrit the way one would type it instead of they way one would hand write it.

Thanks.

 * The most common font for unicode Devanagri is Mangal. If you want to type it using your keyboard (like type 'namaskar' and get नमस्कार as the output, I suggest using Google Indic Transliteration. Manish EarthTalk •  Stalk 15:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

De-orphaning tool
Hey, just wanted to let you know the de-orphaning tool works great, and had a couple of suggestions: Thanks for a great tool! -- Ja Ga  talk 01:24, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) You could change the tab name from "de-orphan-complete" to "de-orphan" so it doesn't take up so much real estate on the tab list.
 * 2) Could you make the search only look for namespace = 0 articles?  That's all we really care about when we're de-orphaning.
 * It does look for article namespaces only. It would take too long to filter out the namespaces, so it closes any window with a non article namespace. And I will change the tab. just purge your cache to see the changes. Manish EarthTalk •  Stalk 20:11, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * What I meant was changing the following line:

sWin = window.open(wgServer + "/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&redirs=1&search=%22" + pgName + "%22&limit=100&offset=0","","") to sWin = window.open(wgServer + "/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns0=1&redirs=1&search=%22" + pgName + "%22&limit=100&offset=0","","") thus only searching for articles and redirects - excluding Talk: pages, Wikipedia: pages, etc. -- Ja Ga  talk 20:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
