odishatoday.com

 * Dear friend, first you need to establish why odishatoday is not WP:RS.-Bharatveer (talk) 10:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I request you to NOT to continue POV pushes to wikipedia. Here you have removed a reliable source like ndtv.com ( one of the leading tv channels in India) and added odishatoday.com as source which cannot be considered as neutral. You have noticed that I havent even removed the content "illegal beef trade " ( though pov from ur side) but removed the source to odishatoday.com  and added a request for a Reliable source. I dont see any other articles expect one linking to the your said site ( see Special:LinkSearch/*.odishatoday.com ) in Wikipedia .The site seems to  be Pro BJP and Orissa government ( a coalition government with BJP) . Just like I would STRONGLY object any pro-church sites linking to this article as sources, I am objecting the use of odishatoday.com with the same reasons that it may be biased . --  Tinu  Cherian  - 11:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Bharatveer, also just letting you know that you have already crossed 3RR for Religious violence in Orissa. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution ( I have left the same note on your talk page also ) --  Tinu  Cherian  - 11:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * User tinu, Please stop making senseless allegation. You know very well that I have not committed 3RR. See edit_diff@10:12 (This "revert" (related to sister's alleged rape) was for undoing removal of a "cited" source. See edit_diff@10:47.This revert was for undoing your senseless deletion of a cited source. As these two reverts were for two different sources, I dont understand how I committed 3RR. Please explain .-Bharatveer (talk) 11:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * A revert is any action, including administrative actions, that reverses the actions of other editors, in whole or in part. Me, Senseless ? I request you to kindly stop any personal attacks. Let me strongly iterate, A source has to be reliable to be added to Wikipedia. Do you think I will allow a roman catholic church website to be added to this article as source ? No !  It is likely to be biased in this matter. As I had said earlier Here you have removed a reliable source like ndtv.com ( one of the leading tv channels in India) and added odishatoday.com as source which cannot be considered as neutral. You have noticed that I havent even removed the content "illegal beef trade " ( though pov from ur side) which you had added but removed the source to odishatoday.com  and added a request for a Reliable source. let us keep everything factual and neutral please --  Tinu  Cherian  - 11:48, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Tinu, you are taking a literal "one-sided" view on this. Didn't you notice that "removal of NDTV ref" happened while reverting googlean's blanking of odishatoday ref. I say again that I have reverted only 2 times which will not in any case be 3RR violation. Again i never called you senseless, I asked you not to make any "senseless" allegation, which is the case here. I again ask you to put back 2 odishatoday refs in the article. A news site cannot be terned as not WP:RS just because it does not suit your views. -Bharatveer (talk) 12:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I have nothing more to say than this comments by Wiki San Roze. I have always said, I just dont care whether anti-x or pro-x, as long as it is sourced to reliable sources. If you feel I am wrong or biased, you are most welcome to report to ANI or take advice from any neutral admin. Have a gr8 day. --  Tinu  Cherian  - 13:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Image description
The caption of the image is "Syrian Christian bride". It is taken from page 450 of the book Castes and Tribes of Southern India Volume VI by Edgar Thurston in a chapter on Syrian Christians. In fact, "Syrian Christian bride" is the actual caption for the image in the book - Ravichandar My coffee shop 18:42, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I left a templated note for u so that you may add the missing author parameter on the image page. Please see the image page --  Tinu  Cherian  - 18:44, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The name of the photographer isn't mentioned. Well, Edgar Thurston was the author of the book but I'm sure if he was one who took the photographs. If the author of the book is to be mentioned, then I may very well fill in his name - Ravichandar My coffee shop 18:49, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Please Help
Hello, i have been trying to get my page to go live. Could you please update me with its status. I am very confused with what they are still checking?Eastvillage1 (talk) 19:14, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello there, I am not sure how you were redirected to me... but since you have asked me, let me try to help you. Reading your talk page, I understand that you are trying to put ( read as promoting) in Wikipedia. Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a promotional website. The contents we have strictly should adhere to mainly 2 aspects 1) Notability 2) Verifiability . but we strongly advocate aganist contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. ( see Conflict of interest for more information). Articles should demonstrate the notability of their topics, and articles on topics that do not meet this criterion are generally deleted, it is important to not just consider whether notability is established by the article, but whether it readily could be. The problem is not only without your promotional purpose username ( like the last one) but also what you are trying to do. Frankly, after reading User:Eastvillage/HotelPlanner.com , I am not sure whether it fits into the scope of WP ( actually doesnt ) and is mostly likely to be deleted again. For notable websites , see Msn.com as an example. If your company is really "notable" as defined by our Notability Guideline for Companies using reliable sources , then we would like to have a well-sourced, neutral article  instead of your own promotional way.Please understand that we have these policies to keep the quality and standard of Wikipedia high. -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 07:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Newsletter
Hi Tinucherian: I'm wondering if I can get you to send out the WikiProject Birds newsletter. I've been waiting since Oct. 31 for Brownbot to do it, but I think Cbrown must be a bit too busy with the fundraiser these days!

sock/block message
Hi. I need to discuss this edit with you. There are two problems. Please try to be more careful. Toddst1 (talk) 15:34, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The sock puppetry is not proven. That really requires a WP:RFCU or at minimum a WP:SSP discussion.
 * By adding the proven template, you placed a message at the top of the talk page saying that the user had been indefinitely blocked which was not the case. In fact the editor was reported and subsequently being overlooked at WP:AIV because of the notice saying the account had already been blocked.
 * is a disruptive, POV pusher and a sock puppet editor and is permanently banned from Wikipedia. See Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Jobxavier and Requests for checkuser/Case/Jobxavier. On User:116.68.99.231 page, Akradecki , an admin added the note as proven sock of User:Jobxavier (See page history of  User:116.68.99.231 ) . With similar disrputive edits on the same page, it is not rocket science to understand User:116.68.99.91 is a proven sock of User:Jobxavier . Anyways thanks for leaving a note-- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 17:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, then please add the RFCU to the evidence field of the sock notice and please don't use "proven" in the sock notice because it explicitly states that the user has been indefinitely blocked. You aren't an admin and leaving block notices for folks that aren't blocked is not constructive. Toddst1 (talk) 17:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I may be not an admin but this template was added in good faith... but please understand template meaning is a bit tricky one, which also mean the said account is a proven sock of a banned user . IT_IS_NOT a block notice. By adding  both by me and User:Akradecki, an admin , we meant that the said IP sock is a of a user who is banned indefinitely.  User:Jobxavier was banned sock editor with lots of regsitered sock accounts and several disruptive edits from 59.93.34.0/24 and 116.68.99.0/24 ranges. Me together with several other editors have be constantly defending aganist the disruptive editor since some time now.User:Akradecki  added  to User:116.68.99.231 page. Today the vandal and Pov pusher resurfaced with User:116.68.99.91 with the same kind of the editing on the same pages. and I added the  to mean the ip is a proven sock of User:Jobxavier , who is banned from WP. You know that we dont/cannot ban an IP definitely. I apologise if this is an error from my part.  I have changed  to  ? Thanks for blocking the IP . you may ask User:Akradecki in case you need? -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 17:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Anti-Christian violence in Karnataka
 * Religious violence in Orissa
 * September 2008 attacks on Christians in Mangalore ( current semi-pp till Nov 14)
 * I see that Tinu cherian's reverting was correct. He was fighting against jobxavier's vandalism in good faith. I know that this problem wont be solved unless temporarily protecting aforesaid pages (those pages) where jobxavier editing by using multiple ip's (the said range of ip's is a proven sock of jobxavier). It seems every day we have to revert his edits, became a routine and pain to us, spoiling other users time & energy fighting against his vandalism.

Articles for deletion/Hindu Taliban
Hi, as I expected, the article is target of the Hindutva cabal. Could you please complete the AfD nomination? I am not well-versed in doing it. Thanks.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 09:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the leaving a note. I guess the afd nom was completed by Punkmorten. I am not Anti-Hinduta cabal or pro-christian cabal. I look forward for things that are reliable and verifiable on wikipedia regardless of the religion or country. To be frank, I am a bit skeptic of the relavance or verifibility of the article Hindu Taliban. This is not something that I have heard earlier of. Many of the references cannot be taken as purely WP:RS except

Speedy deletion of Tejas Networks
A tag has been placed on Tejas Networks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. —  Dæ dαlusContribs /Improve 10:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * First of all, Kindly dont template the regulars . Tejas Networks was created by me, an experienced wikipedian. Before tagging a new article for speedy for Notabality, would you mind seeing Tejas_Networks and googling to search the verifibily and notability ? -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 10:21, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * First, kindly read the edit summery. I used Twinkle to template the page, and Twinkle is the one that templated you.  Second, the article is A7, it makes no assertion of notability.  Thirdly, as an established editor, you should know that if the content is challenged, it is up to the user who originally contributed the content to back up his or her claims.  Lastly, Google hits does not establish notability.—  Dæ dαlusContribs /Improve 10:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah yes, one more thing, I don't believe this template would fall under that essay. That essay is specific in regards to warning templates against vandalism.  This is a notification template, and thus I don't see how that essay applies here.  It is used for the sake of simplicity, as, by your logic to linking me to that essay, I could also link it to you, in that you templated me instead of just typing out a section alerting me to the messages at your talk page.—  Dæ dαlusContribs /Improve 10:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hah..My dear friend, Thanks for the reply and I appreciate your enthusisam to serve the Wikipedia.. Dont be rude... Talkback is just a courteous way of letting you know that you have a msg at another talk page. I guess you are not used to such things. Dont worry, you will know more as you experience the beauty of Wikipedia. I am also a new page/recent chanegs partoller and as an experienced editor with over 20K edits, Let me share some tips for you. Dont blindly tag new pages. Check for reliable and verifiable sources with the article. Google for verfibility and noteability. Only once when you are not really convinced, tag them for speedy.It saves lots of time both of admins and other wikipedians. Enjoy your stay in wikipedia. -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 10:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, don't be rude yourself. I've been here for at least six or more months now, and I have an edit count of 3500+, but to the point, don't link me to an essay saying not to template regulars in regards to warning templates.  This was not a warning template, but a notification template, just like the talkback template you used.  I am quite aware of it's existence, as I am many things in wikipedia, and although your references may be reliable and verifiable, the article still did not assert notability.  Again, please do not be rude, you're assuming an awful lot about me without looking at what is available.  I do not blindly tag new pages.  I check to see if they assert notability, and if they fail to do so, I tag.  Simple as that.  So please kindly take your own advice.—  Dæ dαlusContribs /Improve 10:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Peace, calm down my friend. Edits counts is also no big deal, what matters in quality and precision.

Remarks-ANI
Regarding your remarks at ANI,(ANI), I think those comments were entirely uncalled for. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BATTLEGROUND#Wikipedia_is_not_a_battleground. From this "Wikipedia is not a place to hold grudges, import personal conflicts, or nurture hatred or fear. Making personal battles out of Wikipedia discussions goes directly against our policies and goals". We may have differences in views, but that should not be made a reason for comments like "The question is whether he wanted to risk that in India , where there are lots of religious attacks recently ?". I think you are from "Kerala" and it is a matter of shame to see anyone from Kerala writing like this.-Bharatveer (talk) 06:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

The article 'Suraj Mal Jat of Bharatpur' is toooooo long and badly needs editing. Also this article seems to not follow Wikipedia's NON-BIAS and NEUTRAL-POINT-OF-VIEW policies. There are some deragotary remarks made about SADASHIVRAO BHAUSAHEB which are just not justified and need to be deleted. I request you to kindly help, in improving this article.

Map of the Mughal Empire
The map of the Mughal Empire doesn't seem to show it's right extent. The map shown says that this extent was around 1700, but during this time Aurangzeb was engrossed in the 27 years war against the Marathas. Although Aurangzeb was able to bring down the Bijapur and Golconda Empires, he still was not able to contain the Marathas. He at that time was in the Deccan, but hadn't had any significant gains against the Marathas. In contrast, Marathas were running riot through the Mughal army under Santaji Ghorpade and Dhanaji Jadhav. A place can be shown as an extent of an empire if the concerned Empire has total control of the region and has won it, which is not the case here. This map should be replaced by a more appropriate one. ThanksKesangh (talk) 07:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Swadeshabhimani Ramakrishna Pillai
Yes, it was a bit overlinked. For future reference, you generally only need to link the first instance of a term (such as Travancore) and then don't need to link it again the other times it pops up. The only exception to this is if the first time is in a minor section somewhere and then the term pops up again a long time later, when the reader might have forgotten it...then it's ok to link again. But if a term first appears in the intro, it's almost never necessary to link it later, as we assume everyone reads the intro (you can link it in image captions, though). Dates should almost never be wikilinked, as they aren't very useful to anyone.

Also, some other notes: Hope this helps, &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 15:32, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There shouldn't be spaces between refs; it should be , not
 * There also shouldn't be spaces before commas and periods. Punctuation should come directly after the last word, with a space after the punctuation.  (For example, the first comma here is placed well, the second is not.)
 * There shouldn't be spaces in parentheses. (This way) is good, ( This way ) is not.

Vakkom Moulavi
Hi. I'm having a look through it now. I've noted a few things which I hope you don't mind me mentioning, which may help improve the article (and future articles): I hope this helps :-) CultureDrone (talk) 09:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Something I've noticed in both this and the newspaper articles, and something I'd be careful about using, are words and phrases such as "legendary", "fearless" and "freedom fighter" - these are (generally) opinions rather than facts and therefore could be seen as violating WP:NPOV. Whilst the phrase "freedom fighter" has a WP article of it's own, that article states that People who describe themselves (or are described by their supporters) as "freedom fighters" tend to be called assassins, rebels, or terrorists by others., so I've left the phrase in the Vakkom Moulavi article for the moment - you may want to have a think about whether it's appropriate. I know what you're trying to say, but beware of adverse inferences that can be drawn from its use.
 * The article also refers to this person both as "Moulavi" and "Maulavi" - is this just a peculiarity of translating the name ? You may want to standardise the spelling in the article, and put an "also known as" type of comment at the start of the article. This also goes for the name of his son - the "Early life and family" section refers to him as "Abdul Kadar", but the article is about someone named "Abdul Khadir" - again, you may want to use one spelling.
 * The "Early life and family" section definately needs references provided to back up your statements - I've tagged these where I think it's appropriate. This also applies to various comments in the "Social reformation" section.
 * I've removed a large chunk of text from the "Journalism and Swadeshabhimani" section as this is just a duplication of what's in the newspaper article itself.
 * Beware of just cutting and pasting large chunks of other articles - if a web site says 'xxxxxx was a superb leader', then it's inadvisable to just copy that into an article and state it as a fact - calling someone "superb" is still just the opinion of the author of the original article, and therefore still potentially violates WP:NPOV. It would be better to say something like "xxxxxx was called a superb leader", and then provide the references to support that claim.
 * Not everyone (and that includes me) is aware of all of the details of Muslim rituals and life, so phrases such as ..celebration of annual "urs" and Moharrum with bizarre unIslamic features bordering on idolatrous rituals.. may need a little explanation - or at least provide some wikilinks to related articles which might explain what "Moharrum" are, or why "unIslamic features" might be considered idolatrous.
 * Hi, CultureDrone .Thanks a lot for a very good and exhaustive review. Really appreciated. I will absorb the points into my next articles. -- <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000"> Tinu  <em style="font-family:Kristen ITC;color:#ff0000">Cherian  - 04:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

New York City
Hello, when you (crediting Twinkle) tried yesterday to undo a (harmless) link from mid-September by user:Sanketkawde that had in fact already been removed, you reverted the entire New York City article to its previous mid-September version, thus wiping out two months of work by many people. I've just spent an hour puzzling out and correcting what had happened (after spending over half an hour yesterday restoring one of the intermediate edits I had made). I think there must be something wrong with Twinkle, perhaps with its filtering, perhaps with what it's showing you, perhaps with how you're reading or using it, perhaps with how it interprets commands or requests. —— Shakescene (talk) 11:01, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. I have also just noticed that. All I was trying to remove links added by a spammer using Twinkle. I am trying to understand how it can be mended. All i did was to restore to just previous version for the spam edit and lo ! it did mess up. I have been using TW for some time now and also experienced in using it. I am tempted to use TW again to restore the version just before my reversion, but skeptic of messing it up again.A manual cleanup is more safe. I will work on those reverted pages tonight to clear the mess I did. May be should report the bug at TW but couldnt exactly tell the issue.

 * I don't think you need to do anything more with New York City because I reverted to the version immediately before your edit and the Asian language links added after your edit must have been in previous versions (although a second or third review certainly would do no harm), and I sent a message about the subsequent population (hhh) edit to the editor involved (JKH...), so he can decide whether or how to restore it. (My own subsequent edit was just to restore what had been before, so nothing new was lost in the re-reversion.)
 * It looks as if Twinkle can't work surgically to revert just one edit without reverting evertything that came afterwards, in this particular case, a couple of hundred edits. —— Shakescene (talk) 11:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I figured out what was the issue. I saw the spammer edits today and started reverting the pages one by one to the version just before the spammer edit on each article. I saw the initial edits have been dated today and assumed the spammer have done it all the changes today itself and hence there may not be any changes after his edit. My bad ! :( I noticed only the initial dates at Special:Contributions/Sanketkawde . I think I am seriously fatigued and I should keep away from laptop now. I have reverted all my edits to this case except New York City. You can TW restore to the version to my edit on that page also. Apologies for all the inconvenience due to me .

I guess you have fixed the issue on New York City also by now. this is the version difference between the last edit before me and the cleanup by you.

 * That is in fact what I did, compare the last version at the time with the one just before your edit, and revert everything. The problem is what about edits that came after yours? The portal I just restored. The Asian language versions were added by a robot, but it probably (although I'm not absolutely certain) just restored versions that had been there before without adding new Wikipedias. My Sister Cities edit was a restoration to what had been before anyway, so it was included in the overall re-reversion. And the population change I'm leaving up to the editor involved, because I think he may need to find a reference or a new definition to back up his change. —— Shakescene (talk) 12:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Christian violence in India - An extremist page
I have given valid reasons in the edit summary on why I've removed some of the sections from the page Anti-Christian violence in India. If you won't find the explanation convincing, please inform me. This page is an ongoing process by the Christian organizations supported activists to vindicate the name of Hinduism. Previously, articles pertaining to religious persecutions were general topics in Wikipedia. Now Indian Christian extremists segregated stories to each of the regions and organizing the pseudo-compassion drama. I don't know how much impact these changes had on you personally. For your kind information - there are a lot of Hindu persecution stories from the North Eastern parts like Nagaland, Mizoram etc and Christian brutality is not forgotten in the state of Goa and other parts of the world; especially in South America. Hindus are so neutral that they won't spend time in classifying and exaggerating mere discriminative stories. I know that you may have explanations to counter my views. Please try to remove your prejudices and analyze each issue as a human being. Thank you - User talk:Arunpnair —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC).
