Hello!
Hi howz things. Today I've started a series on rice production. Check out all the new articles at Template:Rice production. I started Rice production in Bhutan first, so perhaps this can be developed into a DYK. Dr. Blofeld      White cat 16:48, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

RFCU

Nadar RFC and the RFCU
Don't let it get to you. The RFCU is obviously frivolous (unless you're some kind of sock puppet superman!) and your Nadar RFC is obviously a good faith attempt to resolve a dispute. --RegentsPark (My narrowboat) 13:12, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, you're right! Frankly speaking, I don't bother much about these wierdos who roam the internet. I only edit these articles on caste and others connected with WP:INTN such as those on politics, history, etc. to improve their quality. And the presence of POV and unreliable refs definitely impedes their progress in the quality scale. Of course, have a look at this article which I took to GA. I had to battle a hell lot of vandals and POV-pushers to get this article to GA-status. Well, but it does irk me when someone tries to use my participation in editing or dispute resolution work on sensitive issues to malign my image. Also, due to personal callings, I may have to reduce my Wiki-work a bit and therefore I may not be able to keep track of the discussions. By the way, I've already explained my stand and made my suggestions on the talk page. I'm sure they are perfectly neutral. I've also suggested an alternate rewording with the help of existing sources and mentioned other issues that need to be looked into.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 02:19, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Arbitration
did u see this? -- Docku:  What's up?  12:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Let him whatever he likes. His only contribution to Wikipedia has been to start ridiculous check-user cases and sockpuppet investigations. Now, I have made 20,100 edits and created over 200 articles. What has ShivNarayanan ever done for this project than starting ridiculous checkuser cases and approaching the arbitration committee just for the sake of cheap publicity. You know, I barely had an hour's sleep on Wednesday. I strongly insist that ShivNarayanan be blocked for indulging in persistent harrasment and disruptive editing. Now, I've been responsible for writing gems of articles as Iyer and Madras Presidency. Do have a look at the Iyer article. Has this guy ShivNarayanan ever written such a good, neutral article. - The Enforcer Office of the secret service 13:01, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Sir S. Subramania Iyer
Thanks a lot for your compliments. First, about Sooravali Subbier, as his name is generally spelt in our family records - Subbaiah Aiyer is the name he seems to have been given, the Subbaiah later being modified to Subbier, perhaps as an honorific. As for expanding the article further, it certainly will take me much longer than four more days - given the time I have needed to peruse old books and records, talk to old people in the family, etc. Perhaps another month and I can find some more of his speeches, but I doubt I can add much else, barring perhaps his sons' names, one of whom was my fore-father. If you do find something about the Grand Old Man, let me know, I could perhaps link it up with some other unrelated statement I have been able to uncover. And thanks again. Voltigeur (talk) 18:47, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

I did go through the 'Heroes' series but not in such detail as to yield anything more than I had already accumulated. I shall peruse and see if I can obtain anything more. And, as for the Madras Presidency article, I thank you for bringing it to my attention. I shall read through it and make changes, if any are required, within the fortnight.

I have expanded the stub article by more than 10 times. You may like to nominate it on DYK with a suitable Hook. I leave it to you to word a suitable Hook. I am sure you would like this article which has been expanded in just 24 hours.--Nvvchar (talk) 09:21, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Signature
Can you please change your signature so its not so big? Just use normal size fonts like the rest of us. :) When you make it better then normal size fonts, it screws up the spacing between lines. I went ahead and fixed it on Sockpuppet investigations/Ravichandar84 Thanks :) ——  nix eagle email me 05:03, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I simply changed it so I could read the page easier, I'm in the middle of reviewing that case.... lots of text :(. Being as I did not know you were online, I simply just fixed it myself, its a wiki after all ;). ——  nix eagle email me 05:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Mohammed Habibullah
Hiya. The Manual that mentions M. Habibullah is the IInd version of the Manual from 1940 where there isnt much detail actually. Nevertheless I will add whatever I can find about him. Thanks for letting me know :) Manu rocks (talk) 15:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot! I've already created the page. See Muhammad Habibullah- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 16:27, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Added whatever i could find. Check it and let me know. Thanks Manu rocks (talk) 10:14, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
Can you ask nishkid or someone else to do it. He's fooled ArbCom into investigating me again. Monkey brains and glue factories!  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 05:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about tagging you page my bad.  Cheers  Kyle1278 03:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Vellore Mutiny
I have been revising the History section of the Madras Presidency article and in the course of it found that somebody has shifted the article on the Vellore Mutiny to a location labelled Vellore Revolt. To anybody in the least familiar with the incident in question, it will be obvious that the occurrence was purely military in nature and that it did not involve any civilian rebelling, which would merit the term revolt. I suspect that someone, excessively patriotic, is behind the move. Besides being confusing in the extreme, Vellore Mutiny being the commonly used term, it introduces the entirely new concept of the Vellore Revolt.

I suggest that the page be moved back to its original location. If you concur with me, I request you to get the same done, since I do not know how to re-direct a page. Voltigeur (talk) 18:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
