Happy editing! -- May the Force be with you! Shr e shth91(review me!) 08:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

National Physical Laboratory, India
I saw that you reverted the removal of info and the addition of an image by User:ImpuMozhi. But if you had seen the page history, you would have noticed that the info had been culled out to create a new page, History of measurement systems in India.-- May the Force be with you! Shr e shth91(review me!) 08:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that it's a good idea to create a new article, per Wikipedia guidelines, so I have reverted your edits. Please do not revert them back before giving your reasons as to why it's not a good idea to create a daughter article. -- May the Force be with you! Shr e shth91(review me!) 15:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with the above: a new article for the history of weights and measures in India is entirely appropriate. None of the information has been lost, and keeping it in a separate article is more in line with normal Wikipedia practice. -- The Anome 08:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Lumbini
I reverted the change in question because you made it "Siddhārtha was born in eastern Bharata at Lumbini, now a part of Nepal", which uses the unusually term "Bharata" instead of "Bharat" or the enormously preferable, "India". I wasn't really sure what it meant. "dab" means "disambiguation", because Bharata is a disambiguation page. In any event, the article already says that the Buddha was from South Asia, which is basically the same thing as India, so it's unnecessary to clarify that further. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 18:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Tatra, I answered you question about why I reverted your edit with a POV comment. It's on my talk page.  Be well --- Andkaha(talk) 08:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, what Andkaha said. This has already been discussed a bit on the talk page; see particularly Talk:Gautama_Buddha, which concludes with my comments. I am, in fact, sympathetic to the idea that one could say the Buddha was Indian; however, since the consensus seems to be that we should say "South Asian", it becomes redundant to say that he was South Asian and born in India and Nepal. Personally, I don't like the current wording too much, either; we don't really need to tell people where Nepal is; it's a blue-link. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 00:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I, personally, never said that India as an entity did not exist in BC, although I think it's more of a semantic than a substantial argument. As I said above, I am "sympathetic to the idea that one could say the Buddha was Indian". - Nat Krause(Talk!) 17:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

3RR
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. --Telex 09:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Please remain civil
Please remain civil in your interactions with other users. You should also refrain from indulging in personal attacks. Also, please go through Wikipedia's policies on Neutral point of view. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 10:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * If you would have gone through the links I have given in my previous message (up), you would have realized that your edit summaries in a lot of edits particularly in this and this clearly show incivility. Even almost all of your recent contributions have uncivil edit summaries. I request you to please understand the topic and policies first, assume good faith, and remain civil. Your behavior is unnecessarily creating problems for other editors. Also, you put notices on articles, while they should be placed on image page only. Also, Please do not remove warnings from your talk page. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 09:18, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Sher Khan
The reason Telex gives for removing the "Indian Monarch" category from Sher shah Suri, and others i would presume, is that, as He is already listed in "Category:Sur Dynasty", a sub-category of the Indian Monarch one, listing it would be a double listing. Its not unreasonable, or trollish, thus to remove the indian Monarch Cat. So, its cool now, yeah? --Irishpunktom\talk 14:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Why unilateral reverts?
Hello Tatra, why dont you discuss on the talk page before reverting contributions by others? Also Mahatma Gandhi is a featured article and has high standards. Please dont add notices on the mainpage. Please put them on the talk page, where they can be discussed with others. -- Lost 08:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * (From my talk page)- My reasons for reverts on rajput related pages is wrong categorization. On MG the issue is usage of copy vio images. Hope that helps. Tatra 08:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * My reply - Thank you for replying. I have not much idea on the Rajput related reverts, so I will stay out of that debate. I meant removing the birth and death categories of Raja Sansar Chand. Regarding the images used on Mahatma Gandhi's page, please see this link. Copyrights on images expire after 60 years. Hindu site mentions the date of publication as before 1940. Hence we are not really violating any copyrights. Renata has also suggested a solution to the debate here. Regards. -- Lost 09:58, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * (copied from my page):My gaffe in removing the cats on raja sansar chand page. Regarding Hindu website: Since they sell images for profit they cannot be used. If one can find the newspaper which was published 60 years ago and scan that image that would be usable but not the ones that were put here on WP. Tatra 10:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hindu is selling high resolution images and not the low res version that they display on their website. This discussion is already there on the link provided above -- Lost 10:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

edits like this make you look like a bad faith editor, a sock of a banned user, and what is more puts you in violation of policy. Any more of this and you will be blocked like so many of your earlier socks. You acheive really nothing here, people are not even annoyed anymore. dab (&#5839;) 18:11, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * if you continue in your present vein of edit-warring, trolling and wikistalking ImpuMozhi, your account will be unceremoniously blocked from further editing as an obvious Rajput sock. I know you can create new socks, but so what? Your acheivment is still zero. The only way to have lasting influence on Wikipedia is by building consensus. dab (&#5839;) 09:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you threatening to get yourself banned over NPA, or why do you boast of your ability to be "really nasty". I have no doubt you can be really nasty, and dozens of really nasty people are blocked from Wikipedia every day. In that sense, do your worst. dab (&#5839;) 09:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Map
Vastu: Your map about extant of rajput empires is not accurate. What is your source? Tatra 09:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a rough estimate based on the history that the Rajput clans of the time ruled a similar area of territory of the Pratiharas, feel free to change it as it is mearly a preliminary effort. Vastu 13:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
