Re:Tiruchirappalli[edit]

I'm extremely sorry for that. I had actually updated only the 2011 population figures, which is obvious from the edit summary. I did not manually make any changes to the existing citations. I would've pressed the "citation" button instead of choosing "show changes" by mistake, as I was operating on a very slow connection yesterday. Feel free to revert that. --Commander (Ping Me) 09:11, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to ask why did you remove the 2011 provisional population results. They aren't estimates, they are provisional (1st phase census taken in mid 2010) released by the govt. --Commander (Ping Me) 09:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There won't be much difference between the provisional and final results, provided the area remains unaltered. I'm very sure that the area is same as that of the city in 2001 (146.9 sq.km). It's very clear that a lot of areas have been added to Coimbatore and Tiruppur UA. The UA population of those clearly indicates that. However, they have calculated the city population based on the 2001 census for those two cities (Not UA). I think the final results will include the newly added areas which might increase the population to a higher figure for a few cities. --Commander (Ping Me) 17:54, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to this link Thiruverumbur and Pappankurichi are still parts of Trichy UA and not the city which clearly shows that they haven't considered the newly added areas for the provisional population results. --Commander (Ping Me) 04:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a need to mention Post Master General under "Administration". They manage the entire postal region and are not specific to the city. --Commander (Ping Me) 04:59, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just found this image which you uploaded. Really surprised to see how narrow the river is at Kumbakonam. --Commander (Ping Me) 13:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What would be the Tamil equivalent of "Madras" - "மெட்ராஸ்" or "மெட்ராசு". --Commander (Ping Me) 09:31, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding ISS image rename[edit]

link. Not that I'm not appreciative, but when renaming something like File:S110e6006.jpg, to File:International Space Station.jpg, as far as I'm concerned, you made the name LESS descriptive. There are millions of pictures of the International space station. At least S116e6006 says something... It says when the image was taken, allows people to easily find it back, and is far less generic than 'ISS'. Please make the names actually descriptive, when you rename them. The international Space Station pre docking of STS-110.jpg is 'Descriptive'. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 19:44, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Image file names says that files should not be given numeric or alphanumeric values as names which is why I renamed the file.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 01:49, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:File mover#What files should be renamed? also says that files with meaningless names should be renamed. And I, certainly, couldn't make any meaning of "S110e6006.jpg" which is why I moved it. Now, since so many people feel uncomfortable with my moves, I'm requesting a revoke of my file mover rights. Cheers.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 01:54, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, one person complains and you give up the right? This is silly. Information, such as the date of the photograph, the authorship information, and the deception belong in the file description page. The name is something that is essentially never seen, and it's only purpose is to make getting the right image to the right place as straightforward as possible. The name you chose is a little generic, but it was a valid move, as far as I'm concerned. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is not the only one, I guess. There is another one listed above, in the previous section. Now, if two out of every five moves of mine are considered controversial, then I've got to spend all my time defending my actions in discussions than contribute anything else to the project.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 13:23, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for the compliments :) See this this link provided by the census authorities, to get an idea about the places included in Urban agglomerations of major cities. Anyway, I'll try my best in creating articles for those places. --Commander (Ping Me) 16:20, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This document will probably answer your first question. It provides the area and population/density of all cities and towns in India based on the 2001 statistics. It worked for cities like Trichy, Madurai, Salem and Tiruppur. For Trichy, they have included Manachanallur and Pichandarkovil in the UA for this census. For Vizag, it looks like they haven't calculated the UA figures. Only the population of Greater Vizag Municipal Corporation (GVMC) is given as 1.7 million. --Commander (Ping Me) 17:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for File:AliBaba1956.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:AliBaba1956.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 02:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bhubaneswar copyedit[edit]

Dear Ravichandar,

I have observed that you are quite interested in editing pages related to Odisha. The Bhubaneswar page currently lies in shambles and need heavy copyedits and information. I would request you, if possible try to edit the article to make it in a proper state. Thanks in advance. Amartyabag TALK2ME 08:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
