User talk:Pakalomattam

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Pakalomattam: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Community Portal
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How to edit a page
 * How to revert to a previous version of a page
 * Tutorial
 * Copyrights
 * Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~&#126;). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! Ksbrown talk 19:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as പകലൊമററം) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Ksbrown talk 19:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Please don't create articles with titles that aren't in English characters, such as പകലൊമററം. This is the English Wikipedia. --DanielCD 22:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Malayalam Wikipedia
So is there a Wikipedia in the malayalam language? -- Samuel Pakalomattam 14 February 02007


 * here. I peeked and found it too. Glad we were able to track it down! --DanielCD 23:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Example.jpg etc.
I deleted the Exmaple.jpg et.al. simply because these are added by the editing toolbar, thus often articles contain them by accidental clicks on the toolbar or by editing experiments. To find these articles there should be as few other articles using them, so the new pages which need to be checked are easily visible at e.g. Image:Example.jpg. If you really need an empty image you can use Image:Example.png instead. andy 14:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stick to four digit dates!
Hi. I noticed you edited several articles to have five-digit dates for the year instead of the standard four ("02007" instead of "2007"). Please do not change dates like this; Wikipedia convention, as well as ISO 8601 and various features of the MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia, requires that dates be written with four digits only. Thank you. ~Matticus TC 14:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you tell me how wikipedia is affected by the five digit dates. If you will check, it's only there in the articles section which I added.  I am not changing anybody else's year format, unless I am changing the section also. -Samuel Pakalomattam 21/02/02007
 * The Manual of Style (dates and numbers) asks editors to use the conventions listed there for dates. It is convention to link days and years in articles (like this: February 21 2007), and these are linked to articles that list events for those years, something which doesn't work if the date has a leading zero (you'll see 02007, for example, just produces a redlink). Templates such as also expect dates to be listed in the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD, which is converted by the software into a more readable form, which again would be broken by five digit dates. In any case, it's proper that editors should all follow the manual of style for things like this, so as to minimise any confusion. ~Matticus TC 15:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The Manual of Style (dates and numbers) says nothing about not using five digit years.-Samuel Pakalomattam 21/02/02007
 * It doesn't say anything about not using the Japanese imperial year system and writing "Heisei 19" instead of "2007" either, but that doesn't mean editors should just arbitrarily start using that system wherever they feel like it. Every single example of a year after 999 Common Era in the Manual of Style is shown using four digits. The only uses of five-digit dates on the whole of Wikipedia are in the Long Now Foundation and related articles, and then only to explain their ideas and give them context ("the group writes years using five digits instead of four: 02007 instead of 2007"). In normal use Wikipedia uses the ISO date system of four digit years, because that's what the software expects, and that's what readers and other editors expect. ~Matticus TC 21:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well since you agree it doesn't say anything about not using five digit numbers, now it is just a question of why you feel the need to change what I am writing because you think others expect a four digit year format. If you think so. then get the manual changed. Until then it is just your word against mine.  If you would be so kind to change it back, I would appreciate it. Since you did all the changes in one day, I will give you til Saturday to either change the manual or change back all of the four digit years to five.  I will on Saturday, Lord willing I am still here, change back my edits back to five digits.  Others whose five digit years that you changed can argue for themselves.  If I understand it, you and I are both equal in this role of editor, and your words don't mean any more then mine. If I am worng, and your words mean more, then you have til Saturday to show me.-Samuel Pakalomattam 22/02/02007
 * First, they are not "your" edits; anything you submit to Wikipedia is free to be edited by other contributors. Second, it is not my sole opinion versus yours, it is the community consensus versus yours. Thirdly, the manual of style explicitly states how to format years and gives examples. To quote directly from the Manual of Style (dates and numbers): "use four digits for years and decades after AD 999 (the same for BC)". There it is, in black and white, in a document authored by community consensus. If you want to petition a change in the consensus to explicitly allow five-digit years, then start a discussion about it in Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Until the consensus changes, please use four-digit years. ~Matticus TC 10:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Consensus among all editors involved should be the guiding policy in this situation (it is a policy). Please read that policy, it's not too long and shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. Unless the consensus of all editors involved agree that an exception to the requested 4-digit year system would improve the article, I would agree that the 4-digit system should be used. Remember also, that you don't own the work that you contribute. Other editors may change your additions in the interest of improving Wikipedia, as you may do to the additions of others.

License tagging for Image:Mtt.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mtt.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:

Stop Mixing Multiple Languages
Attn Pakalomattam: Thank you for the contributions you made to Wikipedia in the past. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia used by a large web community for research and other purposes in the English language. Please consider this fact and Stop Mixing Multiple Languages while editing. There is a Wikipedia Malayalam website where you can translate the whole text and show your skills. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.103.8.33 (talk) 14:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

Who are you, ip address 74.103.8.33?
Section 10 doesn't exist, ip address 74.103.8.33, so I couldn't reply to you.

Whoever you are that just told me not to mix Malayalam and English, I can't seem to reply to you. Probably because you are not a registered user. Anyway, all the best, and I don't see why you think I shouldn't mix malayalam and English.

I would consider your words more if you were a registered person here and not just an IP address.

-- The Lord Jesus Christ Bless you,

Samuel

Notability of Mathew Thoompumpattu Thomas
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mathew Thoompumpattu Thomas, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mathew Thoompumpattu Thomas seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mathew Thoompumpattu Thomas, 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Mathew Thoompumpattu Thomas itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am not aware of any other 12 tharkans of Puthencavu. ( do you have the link ? )

I am not sure whether it has any co-relation with ayrookuzhiyil history. As you can see in our site, The founder tharakan had 6 sons,

Idicula Tharakan (Senior) Ayrookuzhiyil Puthencavu had six sons : (1)Idicula Tharakan (Junior) (2)Kochaipa Tharakan (3) Mammen Tharakan (4) Mani Mathen Tharakan (5) Joseph Tharakan (6) Abraham Tharakan

I am not sure whether he was referring to these same 6 Tharakans!

Since the complete publication of the history of all the six forefathers was gettin late. So the descendants of the Idicula Tharakan (Junior), came up with their history book, many years ago , which I had used for this website.

A tag has been placed on George Kovoor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

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. Mitch32contribs 22:32, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
