infobox edits

Hello Rajith,

The issue with your edits is, that there is no reference about the anglicisation of these names. So please don't revert it again.--Stopthenonsense (talk) 14:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter, Volume IV, Issue 2 – July 2009

Project news
A number of India-related articles have lost their featured article status, including Sikkim and Mumbai. The article about Gandhi was also demoted for referencing and image quality issues. Since then, Mumbai has been brought back to good article status, thanks to the efforts of Kensplanet and others.

Transport in India was promoted to good article status, thanks to the efforts of Rsrikanth05, SBC-YPR and GDibyendu.

Several new workgroups have been formed: WikiProjects Railways in India, Education in India and Transport in India. Please join us if you're interested in those topics!

To do...
The articles that have been selected for our latest collaborations of the month are history of Mumbai, Indian Railways, rail transport in India, Indian general election, 2009 and telecommunications in India. We need your help to improve them!

These India-related articles are currently on featured article review: Kerala (FAR), Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (FAR) and rail transport in India (FAR). Would you allow these articles to lose their FA status?

Wikipedia Takes Chennai – a scavenger hunt and free-content photography contest – has started in Chennai, along the same lines as Wikipedia Takes The City.

Hello about Thiruvanathapuram

Hello Sir, I have understood after viewing your posts that you contribute to Thiruvanathapuram based artciles.Thiruvanathapuram district is not 2nd largest in keral(i corrected)ts 10th largest. ie, its one of the smallest ditrict in kerala. However it has highest population density after alapapuzha

view this website http://cyberjournalist.org.in/census/dtpop91.html (its outdated. now density very high)

tk kumar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.244.169.30 (talk) 05:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mr.Kumar, The population is the primary measurement when talking about the largest/smallest places. In the article it is mentioned that Thiruvanananthapuram is the second largest district in Kerala; because its population is the second largest in the state after Malappuram.
Thanks for your suggestions. Please opt to create an account in wikipedia to continue with your contributions. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 08:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Thovala requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article.

Glorify Kochi?????

Mr Rajith Mohan, I do not know who you are and where you are from, but i know one thing. You do not know the history of Kochi and its surrounding areas. Otherwise you would not say that details about Kochi is glorified. Kochi is one city (if you include old Muziris in Kochi as the rulers of both the cities where same and both lay in 20kms range) that has the oldest history recorded in ancient south India. There is no need of Glorification of Cochin, already Kochi is glorified. I understand that you want to show Trivandrum as the best city of Kerala. I have no regrets. But what is in history should stay in history and should be mentioned. If you want to have adebate on Kochi and its history, let us do so, either by email or in person.

I have no hard feelings and i have nothing against you. I always want to support the Truth.

Cheers... Kerala Varma —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keralavarma (talk • contribs) 04:07, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for the message in talk page. I did not try to glorify or de-glorify any places. First you should understand why I reverted the changes done by Gantlet. Kochi is a featured article. The details included in the article were approved by the editors after much discussions (You can find the details in the talk page archives). Including more pictures in to each section will make it not only messy, but also will cause a slow download with low-speed connections.
There are already 3 pictures in the economy section. What is the need in adding one more picture to the section? Also adding 2 more to the demographics section, which is already squeezed with pictures, make no sense.
I dont possess any prejuidice against any thing. Please discuss before you make further changes, and we can reach a consensus. Happy editing :-) Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 04:30, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

I've edited the population and the UA part in the first para. Please don't revert back the additional pics & information regarding the city, which I've posted. --Gantlet

  • Your pictures are removed from the article because it doesnot possess a valid license, and is deleted as of now. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan

NPOV

Hi. Thanks for your edit on the BKWSU article. I appreciate the intention was to make the statement NPOV but using the words, "it has been claimed..." is problematic as it infers doubt WP:CLAIM. As a possible solution in this case, I suggest attributing the statement to the reference with a statement like, "According to Lawrence Babb, in the early days...".

I can't make changes to the article myself for WP:COI reasons. So would appreciate your help in improving the article if you are in agreement.

Thanks & regards Bksimonb (talk) 12:44, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Even better ... rather be used by one of the cult members to do their organizations' whitewashing for them. Try reading some of the sources given on the topic.
You will discover that it is all widely recorded and publicized, even by the sect themselves. Thank you. --Dadi says, be accurate too (talk) 17:28, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
FYI. The comment above was made by a user indef blocked for massive trolling, harassment and disruption. An old friend of mine, unfortunately. Bksimonb (talk) 18:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)


  • Hi Bksimonb , Since this is about a spiritual organisation, there will be obviously blind followers who always tries to decorate the article. I would be glad to help in the improvement of the article. Unfortunately, I lack the subject expertise. Anyways, I will try to do basic copy-edits and will try to neutralise the tone of the article. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 09:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rajith,
You did do the right thing in that the article can't make an outright statement that anyone did have a vision since it is a subjective experience. It is, however, widely reported in the sources that many followers reported visions in the early days of the organisation. Would you be happy with replacing "it has been claimed..." with "it has been reported..."?
I also see that there are other similar problematic statements such as ,"Its mediums also directly channel a messages from deceased senior Brahma Kumaris leaders". So Wikipedia believes in channelling? If you look at the reference how much does the quoted text relate to the statement being made in the article? There seems to be some WP:SYNTH going on.
You are also correct that there is a risk of blind followers wanting to decorate articles about their beliefs and organisations. Please understand that I personally have no desire to do that. I really appreciated your efforts to improve the article.
Thanks & regards, Bksimonb (talk) 10:36, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


Just to clarify Rajithmohan, User:Bksimonb - ( as in Brahma Kumari Simon b) is a deeply involved adherent of this sect who has spent years attempting a clear, honest and well referenced documentation of the sect and has been involved in legal actions suppression open discussion of the Brahma Kumari sect.
His manipulation of yourself, and persistent attempt at discrediting the topic by placing a huge tag at the top of it, is just another episode in several years worth of attempts by the sect to gain control of the Wikipedia page and discredit other non-adherent editors.
Thank you. --The Murli says, be accurate (talk) 16:07, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Looks like my friend is back again. The question has to be asked why someone goes to such lengths to repeatedly evade an effective ban to wiki-stalk and harass anyone who goes near the article he thinks he still WP:OWNS.

  • I have given the warning to both the parties who were involved in the edit war (not only to you). This is an encyclopedia, and not a place to glorify "your city" or "my city". Before editing the article, it would be good if you read the basic policies of wiki. Having said that, I request you to stop the edit war on the article. You can discuss your part in the talk page of the article for acquiring consensus. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 06:40, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Mr. (or Mrs? )Shrieekk, The infobox already states about the "dencity" (as you said). Adding it again in the article means you want to state that your city is first in some thing. If you blindly love your city, please dont take it here, and use wiki to propagate your love. If I can track your location (muscat, oman), i can track your company too. And I can report to your company about using company work time to vandalise wiki. Count on it. --Dewatchdog (talk) 09:24, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, then population also given in infobox. then why "largest " and "second largest" etc should be given?Also some statements like "most populous city" etc in the article "trivandrum" can be removed? It is ofcourse notable thing that Kochi having highest dencity of population. Why cant you tolarate this statement? And dont try to THREATEN other users.It is my time and I would decide how to use it.Please discuss about the article. Not about personal things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrieekk (talk • contribs) 09:57, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Your edit of wiki Loan_words_in_Malayalam on 04:10, 16 December 2008

Can you please explain your edit of Loan_words_in_Malayalam on 04:10, 16 December 2008 Rajithmohan (talk | contribs) (2,637 bytes) (→Portuguese: varanda is sanskrit). As per what I understand, the English word Veranda originated from the Hindi word which was based on the Portuguese word Veranda. Please refer [1] for this info.

Can you confirm which Sanskrit word is varanda originally derived from? If a Sanskrit word already existed, then how come Hindi word is based on Portuguese?

Kindly clarify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.66.102.242 (talk) 20:56, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

  • The word Veranda went to English from the Indian languages including Hindi, Malayalam etc. Many linguistics says that the Indian languages adopted this word from Portugese. Its also said that the Sanskrit word Varandaka was the root word for the Portugese Beranda also. Please check the book Goa and Portugal: their cultural links By Charles J. Borges, Helmut Feldmann (ISBN: 8170226597, 9788170226598). Its also claimed that the root word is not Sanskrit, but Persian (barāmadah) (C. Defréméry, in Revue Critique, 1869, 1st Sem.p.64.). Malay language/Old Malay, which has Sanskrit influence on it also have the word Beranda. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 05:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Biggest Hit of 2007 : Malayalam films

Thanks for your time to edit the wiki articles. Please make sure that the links you provide is always valid and conveys the citation claim completely. The link you provided to cite the biggest Malayalam movie hit of 2000s is not fully true. The link : http://www.malayalamcinema.com/News-24/ONAM+RELEASE+2007.html?newsid=228&linkid=24 says only about Onam releases and doesnt have a complete analysis of the hits in the year. Please feel free to drop me a message in case you need more clarification. Thanks, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 10:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


Hi

Thanks for the message.Mayavi was released in February 2007. Hallo was released later (July).The link which I have given was an update up to August,2007. Here it is clear that Mayavi was not the biggest hit as you claimed. So please do not list Mayavi as the biggest hit of 2007, till you get a proven link to substantiate your claim —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chengroop (talk • contribs) 11:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
I am not claiming any thing, but just reflecting what other citations are telling. I have provided two valid links in the article itself. One: India Glitz Hit chart and Two: Web India Hit Chart. You can even check other authenticate sites like sify movies or rediff movies too. Here in wiki, we need to arrive at a consensus after checking different opinions, as different sites may quote different lists. So, going by the median average, Mayavi is the biggest hit of the year 2007. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 11:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

The links you have provided are from sites like indiaglitz.com and webindia123.com which are not reliable sources. As you mentioned consensus should be reached but not by depending on unreliable sources. Hindu, a respected newspaper should not be wrong. This data is again till Onam, but then, that is enough to show that Hallo is a bigger hot than Mayavi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chengroop (talk • contribs) 11:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Indiaglitz and such sites are the only movie related sites available in the web to refer about Indian films. The Hindu report is not complete, as it is more about Onam releases. Where as, the links i provided talks about the gross collection of films released in 2007. Cheers, -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 09:43, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Rajith! I only now noticed that Kochi International Trade and Exhibition Centre was put through AFD. I was a little surprised that you put it forward as a hoax. The details of the building had come in almost all major Malayalam newspapers, and the initial rendering is also there in Zoom developers' annual report. Will have to search the archives of KochiNow for it, but it is the same as that shown here. It was also put through environmental ministry's sanction, where the 100 floors are clearly mentioned. I'm unsure about the current status or about the notability of the building as such, but it was certainly not a hoax.--thunderboltz(TALK) 18:00, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter Volume V, Issue no. 1 - (June 2010)

Project News

WP:IND Newsletter is back! It's been nearly a year since the last edition, but we hope to bring out issues on a more regular basis now. The India Wikiproject was set up to increasing coverage of India-related topics on Wikipedia, and over the past few months the focus has been on improving article quality. A number of the project's featured articles underwent featured article reviews over the past year. Of these, Darjeeling and Flag of India survived the review process, while the rest were demoted. During the same period, Gangtok, Harbhajan Singh, Darjeeling and Mysore were featured on the main page respectively on August 20, September 17, November 6 and December 29, 2009. Meanwhile, articles on topics as diverse as Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760), Marwari horse and Iravan were promoted as featured articles, and respectively appeared on the main page on March 25, May 17 and May 28, 2010. Consequently, the number of FA-class articles under the project's scope dropped from 67 in August 2009 to 63 in June 2010. The number of good articles, however, saw a more than 40% increase, from 91 to 130 during the same period, while the number of featured lists saw a 33% increase from 12 to 16.

Due to the recent policy changes regarding unreferenced Biographies of Living People (BLPs), an effort was started in January 2010 to source all unreferenced BLPs coming under Wikiproject India. 1200 such articles were identified initially and more were added to the list later. Due to the sourcing effort, the number of Indian unreferenced BLPs is down to 565 currently. During February-April 2010, There was a large scale disruption of Kerala related articles by a Thrissur based IP vandal. Editing from a dynamic IP BSNL connection, the vandal changed dates of birth, death and ages of a number of Malayalam and Tamil film actors. Later he added a few international biographies to his list. He also marked some living people like Arvind Swamy as dead. A month long range block was imposed on his IP range two times and each time he came back to vandalise dates once the block expired. Currently the range has been blocked for three months till September 11, 2010.

What's New?
Current proposals and discussions

Articles for deletion nomination of List of most populous cities in South India

I have nominated List of most populous cities in South India, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of most populous cities in South India. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. SnottyWong confabulate 22:41, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Your edits were on the city page of Trivandrum and mentioning that Trivandrum UA is the second largest in the state is suited in Trivandrum UA page. -- Rajith Mohan (Talk to me..) 07:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
