 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).
 * Provide an Edit summary
 * Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
 * Create a User page
 * Glad to know. :-)
 * I'm dropping a few India related links that you can go through when you have time. Also we have a group of editors working on Kerala related articles at WP:KERALA. Join in if you are interested. --thunderboltz(TALK) 12:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * To add an article to a category, simply add to the article. It will be automatically listed in the category then. So, to add colleges to Category:Universities and colleges in Kerala, first see if articles for the college you are going to add exists. If yes, then edit that article and add  to it. If the article on the college does not exist, then create it and then add the category as in the previous case. Hope this helps. You can know more about categories at Help:Category. If you have any questions, please drop them on my talk page. --thunderboltz(TALK)  14:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * PS: When you leave messages on talk pages, end them with ~ (ie, four tilde signs). They get converted automatically into a link to your userpage.

Problem
The problem you had with the state highway page has been fixed. Jisha (Talk)  12:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * See the difference pointed out here . Just moved the figures to the next line thats about it. Also, please sign your talk page edits using 4 of these → "~". which will automatically add your username to the posts.  Jisha  (Talk)  16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you want me to do with the categories? Do you want me to help you with placing the categories on all the related pages? I am confused.  Jisha  (Talk)  12:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You can look at these →
 * Sure will look if i can do it. Happy editing!-- Jisha (Talk)  15:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think most of the institutions listed under the Kollam subheading here are mere hospitals and only some of them conduct courses in Nursing. And some others just hospitals. So why would you want to categorise them as educational institutions?-- Jisha  (Talk)  15:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I hope you have read about the copyright issues with information sourced from websites. If not please do go through this . Hope this helps.-- Jisha (Talk)  16:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hope most of your queries have been answered and most tasks taken care of by other editors. I was caught up with some thing in non wiki life. Do ping me for any help or queries. Happy editing ! Jisha  (Talk)  06:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Categories
I guess you already figured out, since you created Category:Medical colleges in Kerala. To add an article to Category:Engineering colleges in Kerala, you have to just add to that article. utcursch | talk 15:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

RE : Technocity - page creation
Hi Naveen, I feel that there is no need of a seperate article upon Technocity now, as the project is on its initial stages. Moreover, there is enough quoting about it on the Technopark article.

Btw, don't forget to place your comments in talk pages, under appropriate headings which is preceeded and succeeded by two equal signs : ==

Cheers,-- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 15:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Kerala Roads
Naveen, I noticed your message to Utcursch. You can do this yourself by clicking the Move tab on the article. An administrator help is needed if the target page already exists. In this case Roads in Kerala does not exist. So it is a simple move operation. See WP:MOVE. Also, you can sign yourself on talk pages by entering ~. Regards, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 04:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I've moved the article. Ganesh is right. utcursch | talk 04:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge
Sure. I am reading up on the policies. Will try doing it. Jisha (Talk)  13:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have placed the merger messages on the respective pages. Jisha  (Talk)  14:19, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I see you have been helped. Please sign your posts on talk pages by typing ~ . It lets the person know who left the message. Regards, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 18:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
Here. Also could you please sign your edits to talk pages using 4 of these → ~. Which makes it easier for the user to read and reply promptly. Jisha (Talk)  18:57, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You are welcome! :) Jisha (Talk)  03:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Well done!
Please continue your good work. In case, you require any assistance, please message me on my talk page. I wish you all the best! --Bhadani (talk) 20:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: pease have article on thrissur medical college

 * Yes i was thinking on that. I was sad to see that GMC Thrissur don't have a wikipage. Will do add a page on GMC Thrissur.


 * I have some doubts. How to cites references in a wikipage? that how to add those small [1] or [2] used by people here after a sentence. Binoj Mathew 16:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Maybe you could start working on requested maps? Regards, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  16:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

GMC Thrissur

 * hi :) I have made an article on Government Medical College, Thrissur. Pls do tell me ur suggestions. Binoj Mathew 04:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, why i didn't flood that page with lots of info because a valid source in internet dealing with it is rare. Still i have a added few info today without sources coz its practically impossible to find sources for every point. Many of the points may be known only to students, like college magazines,campus details etc Binoj Mathew 04:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Filmography of Mohanlal
I agree. We'll remove it from the main article then. Mukesh.mv 07:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Kerala road map
Hi Naveenpf. Im not taking requests for such maps right now since i dont have the time. However since the data is already available in svg format, you can import my map and make derievative works the way you want quite easily. Please download inkscape and try to learn making maps. It really is impossible for me to do each and every map for each state --Plane Mad 18:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Malayalee
Hello,

There's a problem in the Malayalee article. The points of contention are the following:
 * Dayaanjali doesn't want the article to mention that marumakkathayam (matrilineality/matrifocality) were practiced by the Nairs. i.e., as a community, Nairs were known to be matrifocal/matrilineal, and a martial class.
 * Dayaanjali insists the the words "Malayali" comes from the Malayalam words Malai and Aali. Historically, the region has been known as Malayalam before the genesis of the Malayalam language. Hence, the words probably originated from old Tamil. He also seems to think that Malayalam originated independently of Tamil, whereas (facts aside) all linguists state that Malayalam split off from Tamil about 800 AD or 900 AD.

Since you are active in Kerala-related articles, I request you to take a look at this matter. Dayaanjali seems unwilling to discuss changes in the talk page. Initially we had a discussion. I provided references to support my points. After this, he has refused to discuss the points, claiming that my edits are "unverified". The discussion is here. -- vi5in [talk] 06:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi I firmly believe that Malayalam developed independently having more influence from Tamil. Having said that, the language has similarities with other languages in south india. It has loaned words from sanskrit and many foriegn languages. Its grammatic styles are similar to Tamil. Script is more similar to Tulu Script. Even then You cannot call it new language. The people of malabar cost was using languague which was different from Tamil even during Sangam period, though part of same kingdoms as that of present day Tamil Nadu. The people are different, the culture is different, the script is different. The words Mala and ali are there in many languages in south india and foreign languages like Sinhala, Thai etc. Its not known where the words come any paryicular language. And about customs of Nair cast, its not specific to nairs. More than that this is not the article that you can list out all the customs and tradition of aparticular community. You have a separate article where you can add details.

IIEST
Dear friend The title given as Indian Institute of Engineering, Science and Technology is misleading the exact title is Indian

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology
. A coma can change the meaning. Remember a “Coma can kill a person”. Then as the president of CUSAT’s research Scholar’s Association, the only official forum for scholar’s of CUSAT, I have studied various documents related to IIEST including Anathakrishnan commission report. That is why I took a decision to add some facts about IIEST. Then I know what a blog is. That is why I used the word “controversy “ with the title. May be the content provoked you.I think you are quite aware about the democracy in wikipedia.

Your suggestion - Kerala High Court
Hi Naveen,

Thanks for your suggestion. It can make the article more readable and exhaustive. I'd try doing it, shortly. In the meanwhile, I'd be much obliged if you can do it... Nice to know that you are from Thrissur too.

Regards,

Template:National Institutes of Technology
Could you explain why you undid my edit to Template:National Institutes of Technology? Styles are not recommended as to maintain consistency among templates and pages in Wikipedia. --Geniac (talk) 14:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not a regulation (policy?), but Wikipedia:Navigational templates points to Template:Navbox for consistent formatting of navigational templates, so I convert a few over whenever I have the time and inclination. Template:Navbox/doc says the same. --Geniac (talk) 13:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Template: Universities
Hi Naveen, probably it won't be a good idea to add institutes other than Universities in the template. There are templates available for institutes like NITs, IITs. Probably we may need other templates to accomodate other institutes. En.Dev (talk) 16:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Kannur International Airport
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kannur International Airport, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kannur International Airport is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Kannur International Airport, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

state highways of kerala
There is a difficulty in obtaining correct and up to date information. Kerala PWD website seems to be out of date as it shows some roads as part of state highways whereas they have been included in national highways. Even maps seem to be inaccurate. If I come across some authentic source then only I would like to edit the article. I came across the problem when I tried to create a Malayalam edition of the page --K N Unni (talk) 16:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of IISER Thiruvananthapuram
A tag has been placed on IISER Thiruvananthapuram, 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Tavix (talk) 00:29, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
