It is okay. You can ask! :-) I have scheduled other work for this month. And am finding it difficult to complete the articles I've scheduled.

Why should i stop.. In the starting i have done some articles of non-existence like '''Erode Metropolitan Area'''.. But later that block, i tried to review my edits and i created some really worthy pages like '''Erode Electric Locomotive Works'''. But u deleted all of that too without considering. I dono why.. Then u people blocked me indefinitely.. But why? |
|||
After that i have tried giving many good pages like '''Dimbam Ghat Section''', '''Erode Ring Road''', '''Perundurai Road''', '''Perundurai SIPCOT''', '''Erode Government Museum''' to prove myself... But no use.. U just deleted all without reviewing.. Is there any faults or fraudulent datas in those articles? Is wikipedia is for providing usefull data or for deleting those data only for a unreliable reason?... |
|||
After that only i got much irritated because of such actions from u people. So only i did continuous faulty editings in '''New Erode'''. But iam sure that '''New Erode''' article was not created by me. Anyway, great job u r doing.!?!... |

DYK for Dinanath Gopal Tendulkar
Merger proposal AJ John Memorial High School -> Kavilumpara
2010 is not over
Since 2010 is not over, plz do not put any data of 2010 on, because it is PROJECTED, it is not real. It is childish to make it LOOKS better.
It is YOU to change 2009 data back to 2010
You are the one who is making an unsourced data of 2010 I am the one who is changing the data back to 2009 watch carefully. So stop changing the data back to 2010, since there is no real 2010 data comes out, it is all PROJECTED.

That I don't know what to do with. Can you look into it? It's been deleted for being non notable. But has since been covered by the Hindu (It looks like a press release though). Thank you! - Amog | Talk • contribs 20:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- The Merge proposal is not working out at all. None of them seem to know what they are saying. What do suggest I do? Afd the Chemfluence page? - Amog | Talk • contribs 14:54, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, AfD it. Its festival/symposium now and they would have riled the dept students to come here and blab against the merger without understanding the rules. AfD is the best way to go.--Sodabottle (talk) 14:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Sodabottle, the latest comment on the AfD raises a very good point. Shall I start Prod'ing those other events as well? Particularly the last four ones? - Amog | Talk • contribs 19:14, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- Please prod them if they are departmental functions and dont if they are college wide events. The afd poster is comparing college wide tech fests with depearment symposiums. Sarang, Pragyan etc are all college wide tech fests, who get better coverage and publicity than single department functions like chemfluence. --Sodabottle (talk) 03:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well, none of them are department events, but, events like Techniche and Cognizance (IIT Roorkee) clearly make no assertions to notability. I can't seem to find coverage on Google News either - Amog | Talk • contribs 07:28, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- If no coverage, go ahead and prod them (Even if they are college level functions)--Sodabottle (talk) 10:28, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

help
I removed a large body of incoherent text from Kongu Vellalar article, some of which i believe could be legitimate content. I am trying to sort through the mess and decide what can go back into the article and realize i really dont know much about the subject. any help will be appreciated. --CarTick (talk) 18:11, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- sorry. I have to pass on this. I have strong POV about the subject (basically any caste) and find it hard to maintain objectivity. Will probably make matters worse if i wade in (I have a thin skin - if i get one tenth of the abuse you endure in Nadar/Nair articles, i am afraid i would do something stupid and get indef blocked :-))--Sodabottle (talk) 19:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- fair enough. thin skinned isnt helpful. just kidding. :) may be just this benign question. The Gounders as we know it in movies (e.g. Chinna Gounder), are they all just Kongu Vellalars? --CarTick (talk) 19:26, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes and specifically those in the western districts (cbe, tirupur, salem, namakkal, erode). This is where they are numerically and socially dominant. There are a fair number of kongu vellalars in some southern districts, but they are a minority and you won't find chinna gounders there :-)--Sodabottle (talk) 19:31, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
About Vijayanagar rule in Tamil Nadu
Hi! How are you? :) I feel that there is very little coverage of the two centuries between the demise of the Madurai Sultanate upto the rise of the Madurai Nayaks and Thanjavur Nayaks. How abt a separate article on the rule of the Vijayanagar Empire in Tamil Nadu??? I would very much like to discuss with you abt its feasibility. If you don't mind, can u send me ur mobile no through Wiki mail-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service 13:20, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

inre Trivikram Srinivas
I've been working on this one, as it has not had proper attention. Could you look in and see if I covered the highlights well enough? Thanks, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:52, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Took a look. and right now can't think of anything more to add :-). Will look again next book (busy IRL :-))--Sodabottle (talk) 04:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Have you heard this before? --CarTick (talk) 18:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. has happened in my family before (last one i know of was in 1960s and the perpetrators themselves are dead now. so i can safely say that. Have listened to one of them casually admitting it). Started out as sort of an actual euthanasia practice - when all movement ceases and person is practically brain dead. But now it is being done to get rid off oldies for their property.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:25, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- My maternal grandmother used to joke about this when she was dying (this was in 2009) - she would say "innum nallathanda irukken, thalaikoothiraadheenga". Deathbed humour :-)--Sodabottle (talk) 18:36, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Its a combination of things overloading the victim's body - a sort sof system shock. For the old and infirm, when they have already reached the "no solid food" stage, the oil bath (usually done in the early hours) lowers the body temperature, slows down metabolism and heart rate. The kidneys are already overloaded, so now they pump liquids (i have heard of milk being used too) to induce renal failure. I have also heard of morphine overdosing by hacks who get paid to do this sort of thing.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:47, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- oh i forgot to add: there is a comedy sequence in Emmtan-Magan (2006), where Vadivelu's father -played by Ennatha Kannayya - is sort of thalaikoothified. (no oil baths, just milk i think). The fact that it is actually being used as comedy material (and is actually pretty funny) in 2006 shows how socially accepted this practice is --Sodabottle (talk) 19:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

90000 Tamil words donated to Tamil wikipedia
Are you aware how the above worked out?Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:42, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- It was for the Tamil wiktionary. It was a straight forward donation - there was an existing dictionary, we asked it to be released to PD and they agreed. They handed over a CD with the content, it was uploaded with a bot. Is there anything specific you want to know about this?--Sodabottle (talk) 16:48, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- I am trying to do the same thing for Marathi, would you share the correspondence with a Marathi/English translation?Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:07, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- I dont think there was a formal correspondence/appeal for this particular donation. It was more like some Ta. wikipedians knew people in the Govt/ university and put out feelers. And when we we approached the TN Govt for a Wikipedia essay contest as part of the World Classical Tamil Conference 2010, they said ok for this too. But i have done the same process again formally for getting a similar donation from the Norwegian education ministry for the words in their Norsk-Tamil dictionary. It was done through email and they are still considering the request. I will forward my correspondence with the Norge educational ministry. --Sodabottle (talk) 17:23, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- Greatjob done Bala. Let your service to our Thamizh continue and wishing you to reach newer heights. Wasifwasif (talk) 10:13, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- What does donation mean? Did they transfer the copyright of the work to Wikipedia? Such actions need a Government Resolution. Do you have a copy of that GR, will you share it with me?Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:37, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- In this case it was the university that was the copyright holder and not the govt. Thus no GO reqd. It is a decision taken by the university. And no they did not "transfer the copyright" - they let us reprint the information with CC SA 3.0 and GFDL wiktionary uses. I dont have the official correspondence - it happened offline mostly and i wasnt involved in the effort.--Sodabottle (talk) 17:48, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- They let us reprint must have been written expressed consent, may I have a copy of that?Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

- Not with me. I will ask people involved in the process--Sodabottle (talk) 18:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- It would be easy for the Maharashtra government to follow a precedent, so a copy of the correspondence would be a great help, I will compensate costs involved, in photocopying and mailing. Thanks again. Please send me a message on my talk page when you have the correspondence.Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:15, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

AAI Data
I agree with you. Can Reinstate time period, if major changes occurs whenever AAI data out. But my question is past 3yrs data remains same. No major changes. Thats why.
--Bijuts (talk) 10:01, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
The following datapoints are available:
Data from April 2006 to March 2008 : http://www.aai.aero/traffic_news/mar2k8annex3.pdf Data from April 2007 to March 2009 : http://www.aai.aero/traffic_news/mar2k9annex3.pdf Data from April 2009 to October 2009 : http://www.aai.aero/traffic_news/oct2k9annex3.pdf Data from April 2010 to December 2010 : http://www.aai.aero/traffic_news/dec2k10annex3.pdf
You can see that data for Nov 2009 to March 2010, ie of five months is missing, out of 58 months total period . You can see that throughout the available data. That is good enough reference for the ranking, without the qualifier of time period. I suggest to remove the time period qualifier from the ranking (Or insert the precise period qualifier)
--Bijuts (talk) 10:07, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
- IMO it doesn't matter the ranking has stayed stable over the past three years - people are still doing the wrong time period comparison and arriving at wrong conclusions (especially when they want to project their favourite airports ahead of others). So my opinion is let the time period stay, but i am not averse to mentioning a longer time period - but do that uniformly across all articles)--Sodabottle (talk) 10:14, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Marking articles students are working on
Howdy, Online Ambassador!
This is a quick message to all the ambassadors about marking and tracking which articles students are working on. For the classes working with the ambassador program, please look over any articles being worked on by students (in particular, any ones you are mentoring, but others who don't have mentors as well) and do these things:
- Add {{WAP assignment | term = Spring 2011 }} to the articles' talk pages. (The other parameters of the {{WAP assignment}} template are helpful, so please add them as well, but the term = Spring 2011 one is most important.)
- If the article is related to United States public policy, make sure the article the WikiProject banner is on the talk page: {{WikiProject United States Public Policy}}
- Add Category:Article Feedback Pilot (a hidden category) to the article itself. The second phase of the Article Feedback Tool project has started, and this time we're trying to include all of the articles students are working on. Please test out the Article Feedback Tool, as well. The new version just deployed, so any bug reports or feedback will be appreciated by the tech team working on it.
And of course, don't forget to check in on the students, give them constructive feedback, praise them for positive contributions, award them {{The WikiPen}} if they are doing excellent work, and so on. And if you haven't done so, make sure any students you are mentoring are listed on your mentor profile.
Thanks! --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 18:14, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Professor Obar Concerns
Got a message about an hour ago from Professor Obar of the Media and Telecommunication Policy project and I think it is viewed best in full:
Can you please communicate to the online mentors that I DO NOT want them moving student material into the main space for them. This is a big problem. I have noticed that this has happened with a number of the projects already, for example, in the broadband.gov article and the media cross-ownership article. We need the students to be doing this on their own, of course so they can learn how to do it, and also so that I can grade what they've done. How am I supposed to follow student submissions if the data is associated with online mentors? A BIG PROBLEM ALREADY... please help me with this. None of you responded to my post about this on the discussion page. This is about to get out of hand. Jaobar (talk) 05:27, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
With that, of course, please only give instructions on how to move, don't do it for them. Please only let them know what to do and let them do it themselves. If they run into problems, provide further instructions. Do not it for them. This seems to be making a mess of Prof. Obar's grading system and I would like to avoid that. Thanks. - Neutralhomer • Talk • Coor. Online Amb'dor • 06:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

mentor
Hello,
My name is Nira Pandya and I am a student at Syracuse University, New York. I am currently editing articles for a class that I am enrolled in and I found that it would be very helpful if I can pick you as a mentor. I came for a study abroad program to India for 6 months last year and I was an intern for an NGO, ActionAid, and hope to edit the ActionAid article. ActionAid has a lot of presence in India in the NGO sector and I have found some scholarly articles that I can use to reference my work - I will also be giving examples of ActionAid India more specifically. Thank you and please let me know if you'd be able to help with any questions I may have or review my work as I am a new Wikipedian. Thank you!

citing a word document
I could use some help on how to cite a FCC document for the wiki page FCC regulations on children’s programming. I been playing with it in my sandbox but could not figure it out.

Image on ta.wiki
[1] is likely a copyvio. I couldn't find the cc-by release on kollywoodtoday and only a standard copyright notice. Maybe more, these images are now being transferred to en.wiki/Commons so I noticed. cheers —SpacemanSpiff 20:46, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- I believe some years back, ta wiki admin Terrance obtained permission from kollywood today through email for a CC release. There is an OTRS ticket mentioned in the ta wiki image [2]. Can you check this ticket and see if this is valid? (or point me to someone with OTRS access and i will go and ask them)--Sodabottle (talk) 20:49, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Nevermind, i found one indic otrs volunteer familiar with this - sreejith. i will ask him to verify the ticket.--Sodabottle (talk) 20:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not an OTRS volunteer so I can't see that, but unless there's a ticket no, it can't really be taken as verified -- I've run into this problem with so many actor/actress images here and on commons over the past year. In this case I saw that the uploader added the OTRS tag on ta.wiki, but nothing to verify it. If there is an OTRS ticket for kollywood today then it should state which images are covered (kinda like what the IndiaFM/Bollywood Hungama release is like) since many of the images on Kollywoodtoday aren't theirs to give. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 20:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Nevermind, i found one indic otrs volunteer familiar with this - sreejith. i will ask him to verify the ticket.--Sodabottle (talk) 20:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- There is a ticket no and Terrance is usually very knowledgeable/conscientious about our copyright practices. He is currently on a long wikibreak so cant ask him directly. I have asked Sreejith to verify the ticket and see what exactly it covers.--Sodabottle (talk) 21:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Where's the ticket no? The reason I came to you was because I couldn't find one on the tag and I still can't seem to find it...if there's a ticket no, I wouldn't have had any cause for concern.... :( —SpacemanSpiff 21:09, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- 1139159. It isnt mentioned in the tag, but the url to the ticket is mentioned, i got it from there.--Sodabottle (talk) 21:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, now I see it, thanks. I've cancelled the deletion requests for the derivative images as it has an OTRS ticket. But maybe you should modify the ta.wiki tags to expose the tickets like we have on en.wiki/Commons, I only looked at the OTRS link which took you to meta :) cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 21:17, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Done. i have modified the relevant template to show the ticket ID explicitly.--Sodabottle (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: New Erode
Hello Sodabottle, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of New Erode, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Previously marked as A7 and PROD but considering length of time this has been around CSD G3 does not seem to apply as if this is a hoax it is a subtle one. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 15:49, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- A "subtle hoax". Sigh!. This is one of the times that makes me wonder why i bother with cleaning up wikipedia. Now i have to put this through an AfD!!!. --Sodabottle (talk) 15:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
