User talk:Sarvagnya/Archive 15

Thanks
Thanks for the fyi. You can perform as many check users on me and anyone else, and if the check users are correct all the time, they will all come out false. I have no intentions of doing that again. Too bad Nichalp wants me off Wiki, im here to stay. :) Nikkul 01:44, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

State terrorism in Sri Lanka
Hello, you know I appreciate your critical comments so please look at the last version that I was involved in editing of the article and let me know whether it can be improved. Since I edited others have added stuff that doesnot belong but I have requested them to delete it. Your feedback please. Thanks Taprobanus 17:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I will fix the picture issue, see we have a lot of eager newbies, we slowly have to bring them along :(20:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Tamil language
Sarvagnya, I want to understand your issues with the article Tamil language. Based on the talk page discussions (some of which I've participated in, others just read), I understand that the biggest one is with "Tamil influencing Sanskrit". Like Indianstar has pointed out, I agree that we should remove those parts of the article, pending consensus. If there's no consensus, it may be better to leave those parts out. But, I want to know... what else needs to be fixed, that requires tagging the whole article ? It would help you and the rest of the contributors if you list out the issues in the talk page (like the list that Indianstar created). we worked through Indianstar's list, but I see that it's not helping much. Let's work together to keep it at FA quality. Cheers! Lotlil 00:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the copy edits.Dineshkannambadi 02:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

We should focus on providing complete citations for the above page. Easy as the job is considering the abundant literature and web sources, we have been putting this off too long.Dineshkannambadi 15:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we need to play down a few adjectives in the article though, great as it was..Dineshkannambadi 00:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Good for pedia
You said I may have a COI so I should refrain from editing Sri Lanka related articles. Well it is a good advice, but I want you judge me by my actions. For example Sarathambal article that you have been editing of late. Her house sits on land donated by my grand mother. The temple he father worked is built by my great grand father from a timber that be brought back from India via boat after a pilgrimage. Her uncle iofficiated in my wedding. Infact they have officiated in all our weddings. Now you tell me when someone is this close to a victim, that you could write a neutral article about person ? I am proud of the fact that it went through DYK and an AFD and all the comments from non Sri lankan editors have been that it is a neutral article. Not a single one said that I demonized the Sinhalese people in the article. Thanks Taprobanus 14:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Haridasa
Hi. Can you provide a simple definition (in brackets) for these terms, Kriti, Ugabhoga, Suladi, Vruttanama, Dandaka, Pattadi in the bottom para.thanksDineshkannambadi 22:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Will do. Sarvagnya 23:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

When you define these above words, can you add citations indicating where it came from? We need a few more citations to strengthen the article.thanksDineshkannambadi 11:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I have a book on carnatic music. I am sure many of these terms will be explained. I will also research.Dineshkannambadi 00:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

list of Haridasa
Hi. I think its better to put the list in a seperate sub-article, especially since the text is not correctly formatted. Even otherwise, such a list may not look good. What do you think?Dineshkannambadi 03:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * :) I was going to remove it anyway. I'll probably move it to its own article.  Sarvagnya

A list like that with fully formatted names could well be a magnet to launch DYK articles.Dineshkannambadi 03:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Reply:Welcome
Thank you for your warm welcome. Glad to be back. Hope things are fine. - KNM Talk 03:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I just saw it too.Dineshkannambadi 01:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC) The right thing to do to PHMK is to attach FA'ed subarticles on Badami Chalukyas architecture, Rashtrakuta architecture in Karnataka, Western Chalukya architecture, Vijayanagara architecture, Western Ganga architecture. This is 2007-2008 plan With our plans to write "PHK-post Vijayanagara", which will include rest of the histor, I wonder if there is a need to create a "History of Karnataka".Dineshkannambadi 01:43, 5 June 2007 (UTC) I mean we dont have to do what others have done.Dineshkannambadi 01:44, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In a way, you are right. If we are to write "History of Karnataka", I guess it will be a huge challenge in terms of copyediting and summarising.  We could probably draw from both PHMK and "History post-Vijayanagara" and add bits and pieces from host of other architecture, literature etc., articles.  The challenge would then lie in weaving everything in a way where we dont repeat the same things but follow a totally different structure and style of presentation than we(you) have followed until now. hmm.. anyway, let us see.

Re:
Good to see my changes trigger some discussion on the Portal :). I hope you have seen my comments also on the Portal's talk page. I must say that I am not very conversant with the Portal MOS. If you feel that the changes are not in tune, please go ahead and revert them. But, I sincerely feel that we should keep updating the articles/data featured on the portal to make it more interesting and thats the sole reason why I made the changes, Thanks -- Amarrg 07:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Please comment on my query on the Karnataka article here, Thanks -- Amarrg 16:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Yup, will try to add some info to the Karanth's article. BTW, Not sure whether you noticed the deletion notice on the Karanth's image Image:Karanth.jpg -- Amarrg 17:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Sure. Sarvagnya 16:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Karnataka: What next?
I think we have brought this article to some good shape. I know there is one section (Tourism) that still needs our attention. But can we discuss and chalk out our next steps? I am new to FA business and may be Dinesh can help us in this regard -- Amarrg 14:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Replaced the graphs as pie-charts. Please see if they are OK -- Amarrg 06:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Savargna BJP Revert
My dear, I didn't wrote anything that is not verifiable and also didn't excluded anything which as written by supporter of BJP, if all conents of this article are painted in the way supporter like that does not give any crediblity to article, I suggest all the supporter of BJP should learn the basic rules of WIKIPEDIA and respect other authors also. By the way I like your home picture and other images of remote villages and increases my love for Mother India. Got fedup with busy life of Cosmo cities. with love John Paul 08:51, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Western Ganga
Do you think the Administration, Economy sections are too large? Shall I create subarticles for them too and chop the same in main articles by 50%, perhaps to the size of literature section. For a small kingdom, why have so much on the main page. How does it look?Dineshkannambadi 14:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

KA-Economy
I have put forward my views in the talk page how this section should be modelled.please comment.Dineshkannambadi 11:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

KA-Consolidated views
Can you strike out those TBD's you feel has been addressed in the talk page.ThanksDineshkannambadi 13:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Unification of KA
If you are interested in making this a FA, let me know. I can fax over 60 pages of this potent stuff from Kamat's book.Dineshkannambadi 15:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure. I think it is a well written article in that we have the basic structure and flow and we can probably expand many of those sections.  It also sorely misses some maps depicting "before" and "after" scenarios.  And as for so many pages of fax, I dont know if I'll be able to receive that many faxes... but I guess we'll work out something else.  In the meanwhile, I'll add some more info that I can glean from other sources.  We'll need to add info about the British officer Russel and an advocate who were responsible for starting Kannada schools and also something about the Hubli Dharwad riots in support of Ekikarana and a few other things.   Sarvagnya 16:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

KA
I have added more info to "Culture". Please copy edit.Dineshkannambadi 01:30, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI - KirubaShankar article has come up for AfD
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kiruba_Shankar

Kannada empires
Vijayanagar empire and its origin are controversial topics for many decades and the Wiki articles also agree that it is a contentious matter? On what basis did you revert my edit? Give a reason? Kumarrao 12:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
