Revival of COTM
Hi,

You may be aware that Collaboration of the Month has been revived by members of WP: India. For January 2012 there are 2 articles - Indian COTM - Premchand and Indian COTM for GA - Mahatma Gandhi. As a senior and respected editor you are requested to partake in this activity. Cheers, Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 14:17, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a couple of weeks back, I nominated Tiruchirappalli for a FA and put up a message on the noticeboard requesting help but not a single soul volunteered. Where was Wikiproject India then. I'm sorry to say this but I do not see a rosy future for WP India. Anyway all the best for your efforts.- Ravi My Tea Kadai 15:21, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree the noticeboard is kinda dead. This attempt at reviving COTM is to rejuvenate WP:India. It can only be a success if editors take part and make it a success. All the best with your FA - Im kinda busy with an FLC nom myself (List of ICC Cricket World Cup finals). Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 10:43, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Mysore FAR
Hi Ravichandar - The FAR instructions require that you notify the major projects involved in an article when you nominate the article for FAR. I don't see that you have done that at Featured article review/Mysore/archive1. Would you please complete the nominations and then list the projects notified at the FAR? Thanks!

Greetings from Cooktown, Australia
Hi Ravichandar!

Thank you for your welcome greeting and the links to your (as always) excellent articles. Sorry I have taken so long to reply but I have been out of action for a few days. Otherwise all is well here and I am slowly getting my revised book ready - but, every time I think I am near the end of it someone comes up with a host of new material I have to digest and incorporate, or some clever new hypothesis that I have to study. Central and South Asian history certainly are my favourite but very challenging fields. My son had a look at what I was doing the other day and suggested I take up doing cryptic crosswords for relaxation!

I am hoping that, when I get my book off to the publishers, I will have the time to do some more work on WP. I am particularly interested in early maritime trade at the moment and I would like to know more about what was happening in terms of trans-oceanic voyaging from South India before the Roman period. Do you know if there have been any new publications in India on this subject? By the way - although it deals with late Bronze age Mediterranean shipping I thought you might be interested in this article Nature magazine. It is quite amazing that a ship from c. 1300 BCE was carrying products from 11 different cultures (including “tin from Central Asia”). Check out http://www.nature.com/news/underwater-archaeology-hunt-for-the-ancient-mariner-1.9880 Do have a look, Cheers and all best wishes, John Hill (talk) 07:53, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Battle of Vatapi
Hello! Your submission of Battle of Vatapi at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! The problem is not with the nomination, but with the need for you to review another article. In case you have forgotten: Because maintaining DYK requires a lot of work by volunteers, we ask "regulars" (like you) to help out by reviewing another nomination every time you nominate one of your own articles. This is called a quid pro quo (QPQ) review. You are being asked to do such a review before the Battle of Vatapi hook can be featured on the main page. --Orlady (talk) 23:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

FAR of Chennai
I believe that you have a keen interest in the Chennai article, especially in it's FAR by following your comments. There has been a list of issues raised on the article and if not patched up soon, it may lead to the article going astray. Now coming to the point, a concern about the education section relating to the organization of the schools in the city has been put forward and it has managed to keep me in splits. When I asked about this to an editor, he recommended me to seek an opinion from you about it. If you be kind enough to look into the matter and post your comments, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks and regards.  X.One   SOS  16:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

 * whoa! i hadnt noticed the semi retired tag before. Welcome back :-). BTW i have translated the Madras Presidency article into Ta wiki completely.--Sodabottle (talk) 07:26, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for translating the article. A very good job! :-) - Ravi My Tea Kadai 15:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's great to see the tag gone! I never took your semi-retirement seriously by the way. Happy editing! :-) Joyson Prabhu  Holla at me!   16:57, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... I did not want the tag to garner too much attention. Which is why I removed it. Anyway, I'm in the twilight days of my Wikipedia career.- Ravi My Tea Kadai 15:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
