Western Chalukya
Thanks for the translation. Is it okay for the Marathi link to remain since you have already provided an English citation?. I am only trying to maintain a clean page and want to make sure it remains English. I think the citation prior to yours isnt in English and is bound to crop up as an issue in reviews to follow. Can you kindly remove the non-English link so as to avoid a revert war.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 17:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Why should Marathi citation go? What does Mr.Kannambadi thinks of himself when he says Marathi links will not be added or Google books cannot be cited? I request Mr.Utcursch to unlock the Yadavas article as Wikipedia allows Google books to be cited. Vishu123 18:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * this is the link which says Google books are allowed, and the same reason Mr.kannambadi tried to subdued me. Mr.Bl has not revoked the locking. Can u do that please?Vishu123 18:27, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for following me around Vishu123.The only reason I requested utcursch to remove the Marathi link is because its presence makes no sense to the approximately 6 billion people of the world who cant read Marathi. This article is not just meant for people who can. The English language citation already exists and having come thru 2 FA reviews, I know this link will be removed by one of the reviewers. Better now then later. Also, the more info we provide readers in English, the more  likely this article is open to a "world view".thanks.Dineshkannambadi 21:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Mr.Kannambadi has extraordinary bias about Marathi citations which is unwarranted and deeply offensive. The citation is used to support the statements and hence there is no need for 6 billion people to read the citation. Intrestingly he uses the Kannada writers or websites generously. His prejudice and hatred for Marathi should be strangled. I was very cool but Mr.Kannambadi has conspired to block me to keep the truth out. I request u to unprotect yadavas article. If not provide any valid reason for not doing so. Whatever I have done is in accordance with wikipedia policies to the best of my knowledge.Vishu123 06:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

User:BostonMA adminship
See the following comment please and rethink your decition (it is not fair : --- ALM 18:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC):

To Alkivar and all others using #6 as grounds to oppose: I thought I would point out, as Boston has tried to above, that in his answer to No. 6 he says that he opposes deleting articles that need work: ''As a normal editor, [I] have tended to prefer removing spam and stubbification to outright deletion for bad articles about encyclopedic subjects. As an admin, I think I would tend to avoid deleting such articles. However, I would certainly respect the opinions and actions of admins who choose to delete any article that qualifies for speedy deletion. Perhaps I could be persuaded outright deletion is a better approach than stubbification. However, this is my opinion at the moment.''

Questions I cannot find answers for
Several items for questions. It seems that on the discussion of "beauty queens" that the people dealing with that project have deemed that State Winners of Mrs. teen USA are worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Perhaps I read the definition of who should be included in Wikipedia. I also think that some of these are minors and cannot find the rules for the age of people to be included in wikipedia. Although beauty pageants may take some effort, I have to wonder if in the long run, this is more wikinews. I have tried to bring this to the attention of some, but thus far have a very unpleasant experience with this.

Secondly, when there is someone who has the same name, what is the policy on that? With the proliferation of Mrs. Teen participants from years back, there will begin to be overlap, as I am sure that there already is. I am a teacher who spends a lot of time teaching others how to use wikis and have won the 2006 Edublog Award for best wiki project, and currently have the top teacher blog according to Technorati rankings, so other teachers look to me. I have a google RSS feed of my name and over the holidays was reviewing the information on Wikipedia about another Victoria Davis. It seems if you look at the criteria that even with my accolades, I have only been blogging a year and perhaps would not be considered for inclusion in notable people (and I'm fine with that), however, the same standards need to apply to everyone. Bottom line, I'm feeling that if you have a lot of time on your hands and feel that you want to wage "a war in Wikipedia" which I do not have either desire, that you can ensure fairness, otherwise, those who have a lot of time seem to dominate the information. I will continue to watch my topics of interest, which I guess can no longer include my own name. I have no desire to take on the pageant fanatics but disagree with the inclusion of the teen information at the state level as I have expressed on their forum. It simply doesn't meet your own criteria. Victoria A. Davis 17:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I've replied on your talk page. I'll look into this matter. I could find only one precedent: Articles for deletion/Calley Anne Slagle. The article on Miss Idaho USA Calley Anne Slagle was deleted -- there was no claim to notability apart from the state teen title. I'll soon have a look at other articles as well. utcursch | talk 13:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

use of Marathi books/publications
Dear Sir, this problem of using self translated Marathi books/publicatons etc is only growing. The problem has now spread to Chalukya page and nobody knows what is being translated accurately and what is not. We really need to get to the bottom of this before English language wikipedia becomes non-English language wikipedia. We really need to bring in a team of participants here who can help us decide what is right for English language wikipedia and what is not. I see this as a growing menace to English wikipedia. I have left a message for Blnguyen also regarding this. thanks.Dineshkannambadi 14:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * My sincere suggestion in the interest of English wikipedia is that we bring together a wide group of admins/seniors from across the board and come to a consensus about non-English books/publications and their validity and if so under what circumstances.India has over 22 official languages and hundreds of dialects. We cant have all these versions running around English wikipedia.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 16:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Marathi Books referenced by Vishu123 Medieval India (madhyayugin bharat) By C.V.Vaidya- It contains both the theories of Dr.Bhandrakar and V.K.Rajwade Marathyancha Itihaas By Dr.S.G Kolarkar (it books too contain many postulates of above noted historians) महाराष्ट्राचे प्राचीन राज्यकर्ते Maharashtrache prachin rajyakarte by V.K rajwade Bharatacha Ithaas Dr.S.G Kolarkar Dineshkannambadi 00:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * English version of C.V's book is not available in any library. I think we must consider not allowing partisan and unknwn authors like Mr.kannambadi has quoted. The books being in english doesnt make them pristine. We cant build history English wikipedia by using only books of few partisan and unimportant writers.

User:Vishu123
It is pity that it is only me who's fighting against Mr.Kannambadi's insult of Maharashtra history. As a Marathi person u should had supported me against him especially when i am talking sense and true. Arent Yadavas of Devagiri our ancestors? If they are kannadiga so are you and me. After spending horus in library looking for books and spending fee hundred rupees all what i have got is insults and ill-comments from Mr.kannambadi and his allias. Still none of Marathi editors are aware of dubious partisan and one-sided books of Mr.Kannambadi. Why is he pampared even if he has a deep hatred against Maharashtrians and he himself has agreed that Yadavas are marathi also see this this. In the Ganagas page he is removing the Shravanbelagola Marathi inscription by giving hillarious explaination of it is already on other page? So why should be on this relevant page? He deleted everything i added in rashtrakutas chalukyas yadavas by imagining that Google books and marathi books are not allowed. I even presented the links to prove that they are allowed and result is i am blocked! Still no one is taking note of his blatant kannada terrorism across the history articles of wikipedia. For instance go to any page made by him and serach for word 'kannada''.

I am almost thrown out out of all articles by various blocks, silence of marathi editors and inaction by concerned seniors. I have done my duty of trying my best. I have not taken the 'theka' of defending these articles. It is getting on my nerves. I am going to throw my books to kabadi because of these kannambadis in wikipedia. rememebr it is our ignorance which is enabling such kannambadis to ruin our articles. 59.95.39.200 07:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC) PS-Neither i am mahwiki or sarvabhaum. i dont know why u ppl slap me with these allegations? 59.95.39.200 07:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Is their any policy that one network should have only one user editing wikipedia. I was not aware of sarvabhaum (its not his real name) is editing too. What will i do if my other ids were blocked unnecessarily?


 * If u see the immigrants of karnataka,the section is still big and it has only one book as source.Why is Kannada literature section before Marathi? It should be made short(the immigrant stuff),in my opinion. How does it justify kannada script? Ok if that is included why is Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas Kadambas Gangas not containing C.V.Vaidya, Rajwade and Bhandarkar's opinion of rashtrakutas being Maratha Kshatriyas, Ratta (maratha) dynasty respectively? Why is not Maharashtri Prakrit/Marathi script at least on Rashtrakutas page? Why is that info deleted every time I add?U seem to have missed other additions of mine like 'peculiarities of Marathi culture was developed during the times of Yadavas'


 * regarding Marathi being the only language, see my dozens of citations do u find mention of kannada there? They speak of THE court language and not a court language.If you are not aware, Yadavas of Devagiri (Yadavas having capital at Devagiri (daulatabad) in Auranganad)- Ramchandra and Mahadev had Marathi as exclusive court language. I have been to that place and I know about it. Their early ancestors (read Seunachandra) might have had kannada as a official language,not the whole dynasty had it. Hence its mention is exaggerated.


 * The link about kannada inscriptions- all of them are in Karnataka. Obviously the earlier yadavas might be Kannada or their feudatory there must have has erected them. Ok it proves that this mention should be there in the article but why Kannada script? How does it prove that Yadavas of devagiri had Kannada as official language? I suggest deleting kannada script, trimming so-called karnataka immigrant thing, deleting Marathi script from rashtrakutas,chalukyas,kadambas,gangas but adding about C.V.Vaidya/rajawade/Altekar/Bhandarkar's theories about origin in those articles too.


 * P.S I condemn those who blocked me without giving me fair trial. Plz answer me,if u want at vishu123 page.

59.95.3.62 19:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Earlier Yadavs might had kannada as court language, i bet Yadavas of devagiri have not. Can we form a new article for Yadavas of devagiri?
 * Incidently u seem to add all other citations of Kannada but didnt revert my Marathi additions. If u think Kannada script should be there,so be it. I have enough citations for Rashtrakutas, Kadambas, Chalukyas being of Maratha Kashatriya origin. I have presented them as well. Please add those details and Marathi script there.
 * I am extremely disappointed that u missed a Google books citations which explicitly said 'overthrew' the rule of Kannada. Why so,any explaination? Plz include it as well.
 * Once again tell me how/where do i ask justice for Mr.Kannambadi's dubious reginalistic partisan books. I read NPOV section which clearly say that citations should be NPOV. I request u to tell the details, i will go to the final authority of wikipedia. And plz unblock either of my id.59.95.15.185 06:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

ur reply.

 * Ok so Kannada was a language during the early rulers of dynasty. But the most prominent (Ramchandra and Mahadev) didnt have it. Kannada script should be included,fine. Mr.V.K Rajwade clearly says that Govinda III and Rashtrakutas had Maharashtri as its state langugae. It clearly means Maharashtri/Marathi script should be there on rashtrakutas. Why not include C.V.Vaidya, V.K.Rajwade, Bhandarkar's views on chalukyas, Kadambas, Rashtrakutas being Maratha Kshatriyas/Rattas on those pages? Why delete should Mr.Kannambadi delete info of 1st Marathi inscription which was done in the rule of Gangas supported by a online English citation? He trashes it merely stating that it is being mentioned on shravanbelagola page. So? S'gola is a place where it is found and Ganagas are the rulers which erected it. This is the real face of Mr.kannambadi.I request your comment on this.I hate to recite it again and again,but I have tried very hard to get this books and not left any stone unturned in my library.I hope u will include it those mentioned articles.


 * U gave few non-Marathi non-Kannadiga editors which say Kannada was a court language during Yadavas. They however dont mention Yadavas of Devagiri. I said earlier Kannada might a language during Sevunachandra times,but definately not during Yadavas of Devagiri (Ramchandra and Mahadev yadavas).


 * this link which says Yadavas threw kannada rule doesnt mention chalukyas. Even if (u think) it is chalukyas,do a thing,write Yadavas overthrew the Chalukya's Kannada rule. In this way it will be politically correct,as u want to be.


 * I am tired of requesting unblock. I am getting no replies. If they think I am sarvabhaum be it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.95.34.127 (talk) 08:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC).


 * Surprisingly no one is guiding about where to complain about dubious partisan books! If u dont know,few south Indian writers term Shivaji as being of Hoysala dynasty. Does that mean Kannada script should be included in that page? Being a Maharashtrian,perhaps u know that neither Shivaji nor Yadavas were Kannada but still..? 59.95.34.127 08:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Issue of Gangas
Sir this is the issue with Gangas page. The Gangas have inscribed most of their inscriptions in Kannada and Sanskrit. A few however are scattered inscriptions, mostly by Jain monks. Where was the need by vish123 to create (on the main Gangas page) a seperate paragraph for one Marathi 2 line inscription at the feet of Gomateshwara in Shravanabelagola, when the inscription has already been mentioned and cited by me on the Shravanabelagola page. Is this inscription the defining inscription in Western Ganga History?. I dont think so. Shravanabelagola has provided historians over 800 inscriptions, mostly in Kannada and Sanskrit. There are Telugu/Tamil and even Marwari inscriptions at Shravanabelagola, inscribed by monks, traders and nobility. How does this one inscription warrant the creation of a seperate paragraph for it? Then should we next create a seperate paragraph for Telugu/Tamil/Marwari inscriptions there.? If I have mentioned 2 Kannada inscriptions on the same page, it was for 2 reasons.
 * One inscription is one of the early bilingual Kannada-Sanskrit inscription of 444 CE.
 * Another is the earliest inscription mentioning the name of Bangalore in old Kannada which I felt was important as the Gangas ruled Bangalore area for nearly 700 years (either independently or as subordinates). So their rule is a defining moment in Bangalore's history. I did not realise Vishu123 would politicize it.

In fact I think its better not to "describe" any inscription at all and just stick to literature. To me it seems like vishu123 was trying to do some propaganda and that put me off. I tried to leave comments on my revert edits to explain it already exists in Shravanabelegola page but he got into a revert war. Kannada inscriptions have been found in Jabalpur, Gujarat. So what? do we create a seperate paragraph for each? Makes no sense.Please sort this one out. Looks like we will have to go article by article at at the end of it, it may still be corrupted by some people who dont want to reason.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 14:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

The Seuna page was created by me long before my interactions with Mahawiki started. This can be verified by the dates on the edits (before you came into picture). There was certianly no political motive behind my actions. Mahawiki and now Vishu have taken a political bend with their edits and made it a huge issue. Where as if you notice, instead of building Maharashtra specific articles (Vakataka, Maratha empire, Marathi etc) they are constantly involved in peeking over the wall into Karnataka related articles. Why cant they keep themselves busy with articles that should be their primary concern? thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I read this reply of yours to Vishu123. I am cutting and pasting it for convinience below.

If you fully read the book Literary Konkani: a brief history by José Pereira, you'll come to know that by "the rule of the Kannada was overthrown by the Yadavas", he means "the rule of the Chalukyas was overthrown by the Yadavas". You can find many books by non-Kannadiga/non-Maharashtrian authors which will tell you that Yadavas used three languages -- Kannada, Marathi and Sanskrit; Marathi became dominant in the later part of the dynasty. Have a look at this book, for example -- "Later dyansties ruling in what is called Maharashtra (Rashtrakutas, Yadavas) were Kannada-speaking and used Kannada in their inscriptions (along with Sanskrit) up to the eve of the Muslim conquest. By that time, they had begin to patronize Marathi, and Marathi phrases or lines were beginning to appear in their inscriptions...". Even Maharashtrian authors such as C M Kulkarni have stated that "Yadavas belonged to the Kannada Stock and their home province was Karnataka" (read Studies in Indian History, if you can find it in a library -- the [http://www.books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC02119119&id=s_McAAAAMAAJ&q=yadavas+devagiri&dq=yadavas+devagiri&pgis=1 Google book version is not fully viewable).

My reply If you read the last version of my edits on Seuna page going back sometime in Sept/Oct I think, you will see the same info there, that Marathi became popular and saw an ascendency from the later part of the rule of Seuna. So my sources after all are not fanatics.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Similarly with the Rashtrakutas. If Vishu123 claims that some small chiefdom in Vidharbha patronised Maharashtri Prakrit and one Rashtrakuta king "liked" Maharashtri prakrit and hence warrants an inclusion in the Rashtrakuta page, should'nt Kannada be included in the Maratha empire page knowing the Marathas ascribed may inscriptions in Kannada (I can provide citations) in various parts of Karnataka they controlled for some time. They have also probably written records in Telugu and most defenitely in Tamil as the Marathas controlled large parts of Tamil Nadu., some of who remained chieftains later after the fall of the Maratha Empire. Should'nt all these languages be included too in the Maratha page. Vishu123 has created a political issue that has no limits and only serves to ruin every article on Indian History.Indian history is possibly one of the main contributions to wikipedia from Indians and we need to resolve this issue ASAP. This is why I have been maintaining that only the main languages of administration (on a mass scale and especially in the capital), main languages of literature/poetry should be accounted for. Or there is no end to it.

Lets consider the Western Chalukyas page where Vishu again politicised it. He dug some info an a few Marathi poems written in a Sanskrit work (and you took the trouble to dig up an English equivalent for it, thanks) and has been insisting on adding a Marathi language link to the article. Is this required in the article. Telugu was already a mature literary language by this time and given the proximity to the Western Chalukya kingdom I would not be surprised at all if there were a few Telugu scholars in the court (I have no such info right now). Are we going to add tiny lines of info on Tulu /Marathi/Konkani/Telugu/Tamil scholars who visited or wrote in the chalukya court or focus on the major languages of literature, Kannada and Sanskrit. This is going out of control.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * This is not fair. U have actually endorsed Mr.Kannambadi's stand in Yadavas page by deleting my cited stuff (which includes Dnyaneshwar's quotes about Marathi language and clear mention of 'throw of Kannada rule by Yadavas') And now when I asked u to apply the same formula to Chalkyas and Rashtrakutas u say I dont know about it!
 * You say 'if ur references are valid...' but certify Mr.Kannambadi's citations! Isnt it a clear case of partiality? Shouldnt u support a fellow-Maharashtrian who's fighting for a justifiable cause? Or is it because Mr.Kannambadi is here before me? Than why wikipedia says 'Be bold' or dont let grumpy editors scare u!!
 * The link u gave is about resolving disputes. Given the arrogant and snobbish nature of elitist Mr.Kannambadi who's in total love with his state its almost impossible to talk with this man. He is in form because of the full-fledged endorsement of senior members. I want to drag his so-called citations and request some responsible persons of wikipedia take note of it.Tell me exactly where should i start. 59.95.20.149 10:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I just read about Vijayanagara empire in my history reference text, which is prescribed by my University and written by Dr.Kolarkar(who uses bibliography and doesnt do original research),I didnt read any reference about Kannada there! Mr.Kannambadi's action is creating embarrassment for his state. For eg see this comments on Vijayanagara empire (I know that u will think i am the sockpuppet of who wrote it,but belive i am not!!)

it shows how inferior you kannadigas feel in india, u want to make up some thing and proclaim your self as great people, you people lack glorious history and feel inferior to others .that's what making you to behave like half baked historian 

and more-

''Otherewise what were these Cannada people doing. Poor people were slaves to the Marathas and Nizam.''
