StrikeEagle
User:Strike Eagle is a fantastic Indian English Wikipedian. He has been editing Wikipedia for almost 5 years, and created and expanded a large number of articles. I have worked with him in many articles. He is a very friendly person and has excellent knowledge on Wikipedia. He has surprised me many times by his dedication and diligence to improve Indic content on Wikipedia. Very recently he conducted a meetup in Hyderabad, I hope he'll do a lot more good works. --Tito Dutta (talk) 16:38, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Hey, just letting you know I replied to your e-mail. I'm going to send out a message to my professor asking if there'd be any interest with the library students if a project was set up to help sort and categorize material to create a master list.

Channar revolt
Hi, Titto. I primarily edit Nadar articles. I am here to talk about the recent edits made by Rabtman to the Channar revolt. He has added refs to support his claims. However I doubt the validity of these refs. Rabtman is primarily here to glorify Nair relevant articles(please go through his history). He has inlcuded lines like the nadars were untouchacbles etc. Now this is a very complicated topic. According to Hardgrave and Templeman, leading anthropologists on this topic, the nadars were not untouchables. Some nadars were historically land lords. So the term Nadar today refers to all these different Nadars subcastes. The former status of all these Nadar subcastes were different from each other. So this is something we have to discuss. Most of the lines seem to glorify the Nair community(most of his edits to). I didnt revert his edits. I didnt do anything. Because I am tired of all this. My account is currently used by wife as I am very busy nowadays. Admins do not usually intervene to edit nadar pages. But I have done my best to keep the page as neutral as possible. I actually started editing because a long time ago the page was heavily attacked anti-nadar groups. I think that trend is coming back now. Please go through the recent made by rabtman to the chanar revolt article. He claims that the Nair women were allowed to cover their upper body. This topic has always baffled me. According to the Nair article, the nairs didnt cover their upper bodies(men and women). I would be obliged if you would go through the recent edits made by rabtman to the chanar revolt article. Most of the lines he included do not make sense. I am pretty thorough with this topic. I am willing to help you by providing you whatever info I can(I have the Hardgrave and Templeman book with me). If you are busy please recommend me some other editor who would be interested to edit these pages. I just want these articles to be maintained by neutral editors(Like the Nair article). Thank you for your time.Mayan302 (talk) 09:22, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Harassment by sock
Hi Tito, some user (from multiple IPs) is constantly harassing me by making personal attacks on my user and talk pages for the past three weeks. I seriously suspect it must be User:Daan0001, as he was blocked temporarily (after I filed a report on him for edit-warring). It was during his block, the attacks were made - with ethnic slurs.

Please check out Ramanujan College
Dear Titodutta, Greetings! We've communicated with each other 3 or 4 years ago but not too much lately. I'm hoping when you get a chance you could look at the page for Ramanujan College. As described on the talk page, I recently moved it from Deshbandhu College, because the page and the college website said the college had been renamed. But now on closer inspection I see that BOTH colleges are still listed on the U Delhi website. See talk page. Perhaps this has something to do with Morning/Evening, but that's unclear to me, and perhaps involves terminology widely understood in India but not elsewhere. I have less time for Wikipedia than previously, so I'm hoping those who understand better than me can clean up the naming and clarify morning/evening. Best -- Presearch (talk) 19:45, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I can tell you about Kolkata, a college may have 3 different names depending on schedules. I studied in City College (Kolkata), the same college (building) was known as Rammohan College (girls, morning time), and Anandamohan College (evening, mainly boys). I have quickly checked the article titles you have mentioned, and I am unsure here. --Tito Dutta (talk) 21:09, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
