Darjeeling school photo
Have you taken any photo of any school in Darjeeling? That would br great in the section "Education" of the article Darjeeling. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Rock Garden, Darjeeling
I like the beautiful photographs in this article, but think they are a bit neglected in a gallery at the bottom. Could you split at least some up, especially whichever you think is the best overall shot for the top, and maybe some to illustrate the description in the text?

Darjeeling Tea Gardens
Greetings,

I note your article and photographs of the Rock Gardens in Darjeeling were featured by Wikipedia today. I have used a photo attributed to you in a blog post about Darjeeling Tea at: http://cafe-grendel.blogspot.com/2007/07/darjeeling-tea.html and have indicated that you are the creator of the image. I hope this use is ok - it seemed to fall within the guidelines of the GNU licensing.

Kind Regards,

Hi, Thanks for the dyk medal. I looked at most your creations from your user page and I must say, your contributions are most impressive. Great work! Lotlil 00:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Portal India News
It's unfortunate that you have decided to quit it. And I am sorry I forgot to pursue the things there which you had notified me some days back. Sorry. More unfortunate is I probably won't be able to pursue the stuffs as I am leaving Kolkata for nearly 5 months, and do not know if I will be able to be in Wikipedia for much time. If I get some time, i shall definitely try to look into the things, and inform you. Bye the way, your photographs of Kolkata are great :) Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:59, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, I am not leaving. Just going to a lower key. With photography being your new area of interest in wikipedia, we are sure to get many excellent images of Kolkata and other places/stuffs. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 02:14, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello again
Hi! How are you? After a long hiatus, I am back on wikipedia and hopefully for good now. I have noticed that you have continued the great work that you were doing when I was regular. Glad to know that. Take care. Antorjal 17:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You are indeed a very humble person to acknowledge my contributions when your own have been nothing short of amazing. You have maintained a high level of productivity and quality which is outstanding. I wish I could have contributed continuously but personal considerations (I got married and my mother was ill) precluded my spending time on wikipedia. Now I am back and willing to help on a regular basis... let me know if there is anything you need me to do. Take care. Antorjal 14:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That is a great entry on Gobindapur. Look forward to many more entries like that one. By the way, reading the entry on Mirik and seeing the pictures that you attached made me nostalgic. You are doing a great job with the maps too! Best wishes. Antorjal 12:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Nice template for places that have merged. Do you have any idea about the historical places in Hooghly district? There used to be something there. I cannot recall right now.

Paharpur, Gaya
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Paharpur, Gaya, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Paharpur, Gaya fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: all material shifted to Paharpur, making this page redundant To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Paharpur, Gaya, 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. --Android Mouse Bot 2 06:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Good article and great photograph! Sorry to go with such a different version of the hook than you initially suggested... those hooks can be pesky sometimes.  I wrote an article a couple weeks ago, and I think 3 or 4 other editors had to suggest revisions to my hook before somebody grabbed it!  The important part is that the article and photography are good.  Great work! --JayHenry 20:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Just saw the topic on the mainpage... great job on that. You are simply producing at an amazing rate... unfortunately many of the other Indian editors are not (including myself)... but as you mentioned, once I get done warming up (and submitting my thesis) I'll be ready to create a lot of DYKs... by the way, I am just finishing up on Achintya Kumar Sengupta's Kallol jug. It is a fantastic book! Have you read it before? Take careAntorjal 13:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

H. E. A. Cotton
Hello - I wonder whether you can help. I found this article that you created recently when checking category:Alumni of Jesus College, Oxford to see whether there were any more names to be added to List of people associated with Jesus College, Oxford (a Featured List, but always room for improvement!). Do you happen to know from your sources the years that he was at the college? He doesn't get mentioned in the leading modern history of the College (JNL Baker's "Jesus College 1571-1971") nor does his Times obituary mention dates (I'll gladly send it to you if you've not seen it - it refers to him as "Sir Evan Cotton", rather than "HEA Cotton"), and I can't find anything on a quick Google search about him and the college. Any further information gratefully received! Regards, BencherliteTalk 19:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Never mind, worth a try! I've only got the obituary as an image file from the Times digital archive, so I can't "cut and paste" the words onto a page or into an email.  If you want to have the image file, email me and I'll send it that way.  Let me know if you send me an email, as my Wikipedia email address isn't one I check often.

Bagha Jatin
I would like to draw your attention on two recent modifications you have made in the article on BAGHA JATIN (Jatindranath Mukherjee). (1) Being a quotation from Nixon, and written probably when Sarala Devi was not yet married, we should leave it unaltered. Please revert it yourself. (2) Tegart reached Balasore once the fight was over; he had just the time to meet Jatin Mukherjee before the latter breathed his last at the hospital. Please revert this, too.

 * Cool. You may want to add some info to the image descriptions to that effect, as they look so good that some might think you are getting them from some other site. Also, you might want to consider uploading them at Commons so other wikis can use them. Best wishes. (you can reply here, I watch here) ++Lar: t/c 16:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

spelling of Shantipur
Hi,

I am bewildered as to why you have chosen to change the spelling of "Shantipur" to "Santipur" I am from that city. We all have over the ages pronounced the initial sound with an "sh." The first part of the name, "shanti" means peace. It is spelled with the Bengali letter that is pronounced as an "sh" and not simply an "S" What prompted you singlehandedly decided to change the spelling of this ancient name? Please restore the merge for SHANTIPUR. This is not a matter of regional dialect or regional pronunciation but, correct reference. Just a reminder,Shantipur- Nodia standard(yes it is pronounced with an "O" NOT an "A") is the "cholti bhasha" benchmark. There is a trend to "Anglify" the spelling and pronunciation of many indigenous Indian words. It is sad that most Indians have bought into this wholesale "sell out" of their cultural heritage.

DYK etc
Hehe! we almost collided editing India DYK. How are you? I have seen earlier also you get into wikipedia very early in the morning! Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 00:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Shantipur
Thank you for your reply to my inquiry.

I have been trying to locate the page for a while now. Now I know why I was unable to. I never dreamed that some NON-Bengali would be editing/altering spelling of Bengali names and words. It seems that you managed to delete any reference to "Shantipur" when you merged the file with "santipur" Thus distroying links to historic figures and other related pages. Good going dude.

It seems that you have been editing pages that you have NO expertise or background in. Assumptions were made based on what was left uncertain on a page and turned into fact with absolutely no other information to corroborate. Someone with more intellectual fortitude would have restrained himself in such ego stroking.

My family is descended from the founder of the city. My ancestors links to the page you keep altering willy-nilly, has been disconnected. Please stop altering the information unless you ACTUALLY KNOW something about the subject and that what you are putting down is truthful. I thank you... my ancestors thank you... and readers thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siemagirl (talk • contribs) 08:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
