 * Heh, you deserve it more than I do — if you hadn't instigated this last push for completion then we'd still be at it! What do you think, good enough for GA?  One thing is for sure, it's a far cry from the Major power article we had going back in the old days!

Translation: Dulha Mil Gaya
Hello, Nobleeagle, I'm seeking your advice. Shahrukh Khan's new movie seems to be called "Dulha Mil Gaya" and, erm, my Hindi is kinda rusty. I'd translate it as "I found a bride", but I could be totally wrong. Could you translate it for me, or put the translation into the corresponding article? Many thanks, --Plum couch Talk2Me 23:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. I added the translation to the article. Just to broaden my vocabulary a bit: If "dulhan" is the word for groom, I assume dulhaniya (from "Dilwale Dulhaniya etc ...") means "bride"? Best regards, --Plum couch Talk2Me 23:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for the explanation. Best regards, --Plum couch Talk2Me 02:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Emerging power
Hello NobleEagle,

I am new to Wiki, but was going through the rules. Would like to contribute to the India page. Since you are the administrator and the prime contributor to the India page, I would be seeking advice from you time to time.

I have seen you contributions to Great Power, particularly India, is it possible to make a separate sub-section in the India page pertaining to Emerging Superpower?

Shyamasundara Vetrivel 04:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello NobleEagle, Its very good to see that the words 'Great Power' has appeared in the lead! Cheers! Hope it doesn't get reverted. Shyamasundara Vetrivel 09:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Since you are proficient in English, do say so. If you were born and raised in an English-speaking environment, that would make you a native speaker of English,too. Are you? I'm not. If Panjabi is your mother tongue, be proud to say so.Kanchanamala 00:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

India as an Emerging Superpower
Hi NobleEagle, Your earlier inputs of emerging superpower in the India page lead has now been incorporated. Apparently British user, Fowler&fowler's viewpoints on relegating superpower lower in the history section and repeatedly sneaking in (in the guise of good-faith) British dominant sentences in the lead has been removed with agreements from other users. Pls see the history section of India mainpage. Let us now try to give a positive image to the India page and make it the best in Wikipedia. Would also request you to beware of foreign users trying to sneak in their foreign nationalistic colonial views in the guise of historical evidences and unfair exploitation of Wikipedia rules to give the India page a negative and poor image.

Hindu creationism
I was thinking about bringing this article to afd. It is full of crap and nothing else. What are your views on it.nids(&#9794;) 11:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know where I am coming from
I have no idea about the politics and the virulence and trouble politically in India. It is extremely complicated, at least to an outsider. I will fully admit that the west basically raped india for a few hundred years. Anyone who is an honest student of history would admit that. Did they know what they were doing? Well I guess, but they didnt think it was bad I guess. Am I proud of the way the British, French, Dutch etc acted in India for centuries? Absolutely not. It is pretty shameful, frankly. Now when I read some stuff about Dalits, I like the Hindutva position of just aggressively trying to forget the past. However, I can see their positions as well with wanting to have some preferences set aside to help them climb out of poverty. We have the same thing here: Affirmative Action. I dont like it, and I have lost out because of it often, but I understand it and I accept it. There is no way one can turn the clock back. It seems to be working to assimilate other groups in the US anyway. But it is a huge legal mess and a minefield to get involved with. I personally do not undestand the Muslim-Hindu tensions at all, or the Buddhist-Hindu tensions or the Christian-Hindu tensions (or the Muslim-Christian tensions). None of it makes sense to me. I guess that is just how people are. Human nature eh? So who the heck is this guy RSS that everyone talks about? Was he a hindutva leader? And what are the opposition to the Hindutva called? And do the parties cut across religion or class ? Or mainly one religion or sect or class??--Filll 00:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Serious issues in India lead?
Hi NobleEagle,

Introducing myself. Though I am a silent reader and look forward to clean up grammatic mistakes in interesting pages because of my journalistic background. Was 'naturally' going through the India page (no contribution as yet) and saw the various versions (I hope I am right in the using the word version). The lead written by you, Chanakyathegreat, IndianStar was really good, accurate and presented a very balanced view about the country. However, an older version has appeared again, which from my point of view does not give a true picture about India.

Since you are a senior member here, would request you to look into it so that the page reads better. I would also like to contribute, now that I have an account! Rakesh85barua 16:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Disconcerted
Please either show me what comment led you to believe that about my argument, or retract your claim. I am confident you will find you are misunderstanding me, and I hope you will correct your comment, which I find insulting and counter-productive. User:RyanFreisling @

Out of India theory
Hi, recently you added in Dravidian substratum ... sub-section in that article. You have quoted Elst about Brahui. But, now when Brahui language is found due to migration after 1000 A.D.( even accepted by Witzel ).So, don't you think that Brahui's mention here is unnecessary. It will give false undercurrent impression of AIT.

Secondly, if you can write intro of OIT in AIT, it will be helpful ( instead of current one sided wordings ). WIN 06:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Pakistani nationalism
Hi! An admin almost always protects the the wrong version. You can just ping the admin who protected the page and point out to him why the current version isn't the right one. I could've done it myself for you, but it is always better to ask the protecting admin first. Also, try to get the content disputes cleared at the earliest. Admins wouldnt revert to another version that is also disputed.--thunderboltz<sup style="color:green;">(Deepu) 13:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Aum vs Om
I'd like to request putting back "also called Om" in that template, since the paragraph at least gestures towards explaining both symbols. It wasn't til looking at the Aum article that I learned that Aum and Om were the same thing. I had been wondering what this big important Aum discussed in the talk page was, and "Om" explained it in one syllable. Regards, 67.117.130.181 13:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

reverting issue
instead of reverting it can you please add the paragraph back as reverting removes newer edits! And puting the Australian picture in the performance section messes up the table!--Thugchildz

CWC Awards section
It says before "Man of the tournaments" were given out, the most prestigous award of "Man of the Grand Final." Shouldn't it be Man of the Match in the final?

 * Hey Nobleeagle, do you have any plans for any CWC related FA-drives so we could have some stuff on the main page to celebrate the World Cup? In terms of biographies, many of the Australian and most of the English players (I went to Adelaide Oval) now have free images, and also so do Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif and Murali. Tendulkar and Pathan also have photos but they are of poor quality which may not be acceptable. Are you interested in getting any bios to FA? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:30, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It may be useful to specify (before anyone votes) that the only template being discussed in Template:Hindu Links. Thanks Abecedare 06:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just because you dislike my voting in each section of your ridiculous poll does not give you the right, either real, perceived or assumed, to remove my vote from any section, especially not, twice in a row, as of this writing, "except in the section wherein you have cast your own vote"!!! What is your problem?  Open another ridiculous poll, fine.  Don't presume to think of yourself as the sole arbiter of how that poll should be conducted at the same time.  Such wanton hubris.
