Can you please further explain
your position at Talk:November 2008 Mumbai attacks#Requested move. Another editor and I are equally perplexed by your stance. Btw, the article will still be considered your creation even after a page move. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 07:28, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, don't worry, if the article name changes, you will still get the credit as the article creation. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 03:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
jest in talk
Dude, wanted to drop a line to let you know I have nothing against you, but I do think you expressed some rather funny prose over at November 2008 Mumbai attacks. We don't have to be serious, even when talking seriously, its all in jest. Thanks!--Cerejota (talk) 03:42, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

- I've started a stub on one of the victims at Mumbai.
- (PS I hope my comments regarding reliability of sources were not unhelpful.)
- Alastair Haines (talk) 12:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. At your service. Glad you had time away from Wiki. Best always. Alastair Haines (talk) 07:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Ken, I support you 110% on the reliability of the sources you have cited for the purposes you cite them.
- Although my words may sound negative about the CBCI PR Office, I agree totally that they are absolutely reliable per Wiki RS source standards. All I actually say that is negative is that they cannot be cited about how good they think they themselves are. No source is ever reliable on that. I only wrote in a negative way so that people can see that I was being carefully critical. What matters is that I researched closely for all the relevant material and judged that the source is reliable for the purposes it is used in your article.
- I am certain that the sources cited at Catholic Heirarchy.org are reliable (the books certainly, the web-sites almost certainly). In fact, I also think the electronic method by which the site is automatically updated sounds reasonable, and is only weak in respect of up-to-date, recent changes not being included for one reason or another. The point is, though, the site is just a "half-way-house" between reliable sources and a Wiki reader. We can't cite the source (we cite its sources), but we can show the source, though showing the sources behind the site would be even better.
- I hope I'm not making things more confusing, but I support you absolutely that Wiki should accept the specific information in your article that is supported by the references I checked. As support for the information in the article, they are indeed valid and reliable sources.
- That is my opinion, I've given my reasons, it is now up to others to decide.
- Whatever they decide, Ken, keep going! You are more perfect than the processes here, especially in your good natured way of living with them. All the very best to you. Shabash and danyavat! Alastair Haines (talk) 07:53, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- Now you are talking. Here is what you want. Primary source backing.[1]
If people are nervous about primary sources, it must be remembered that Wellington's own notes are the primary source, transcriptions of them are edited by professionals and are something of a secondary source also. The whole primary, secondary thing needs some common sense. There's a reason for Wiki guidelines, the reason is the actual guide, not the approximation of what articles may contain. I'll keep working. Alastair Haines (talk) 08:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
“ | The Governor General's letters to Tippoo Sultaun have been inserted, as the best authority of the events which led to the campaigns of 1799, in Mysore ; to the command of which country Colonel Wellesley was appointed, on the fall of Seringapatam. | ” |
- The dispatches of Field Marshall the Duke of Wellington, during his various campaigns in India, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, the Low Countries, and France, from 1799 to 1818. Compiled from official and authentic documents by Lieutenant Colonel Gurwood. Volume 1. A new edition. London: John Murray, 1837.
They had very long titles in those days. :(
MUKA
- MUKA press release sounds good for reliability. But who are MUKA (Mangalore United Konkani Association)?
- They are recognised by UK Konkans alongside other Konkani groups here.
- They are recognised by KonkaniFriends.com here.
- What Wikipedia needs to know is that MUKA is a registered group somewhere, so that a "press release" means something.
- Ken's family could have an engagement party and issue a press release on behalf of "Ken's Planet Inc." to announce it.
- But the question is, would "Ken's Planet Inc." have any legal responsibility for press releases it issued?
- If there is no head-office and no editor in chief (or CEO), they could not be held responsible, Wiki could not use the release.
- So, what we need is information regarding MUKA, where is it registered? Who is responsible. This does not have to be online info.
- With a normal book it is just the same. Publishers have offices and editors to be accountable for what is printed. Many readers count reliability by an author's name, but actually, the publisher is very much part of the reliability. (Certainly when authors are not well known.)
- Web-site photos are always copyright unless otherwise specified. MUKA may give you permission to use photos at Wiki. But it is not a breach of copyright to link to their site. It is also nice to do that for them. They want people to see their photos, but they might prefer to encourage people to see them at their own site, rather than at "mirror" sites (like Wiki if they gave permission).
- I hope what I'm saying is helpful. There's reasons for the rules. They are common sense if you think about them. :) Alastair Haines (talk) 08:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- PS you could telephone MUKA to get information about them. You could email them to confirm head office address, name of CEO, registration as public company or non profit organisation, and to find out who authorises press releases on behalf of whom. For Wiki, you would need to get documentation of this kind of information, ideally in an email, though your own sighting of hard copy documents (like local telephone directories etc.) is perfectly reasonable. Wiki has lots of quotes from books where the editor is being trusted to copy these accurately. Alastair Haines (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Image use
You need to be very strict about image use. The key things here are:
- what is fair use according to law,
- what is fair use according to Wiki, and
- what is fair use according to Ken.
What is most key is fair use according to Wiki: "to illustrate an article discussing the book in question."
- I'm sure you wouldn't push the Ken view of fair use. But, although it is frustrating, it is sensible and true that Wiki definition of fair use is much stricter than the law. The main reasons Wiki strictness is good include the following. Wiki cannot allow editors to make up their own minds, because they'll make mistakes for which Wiki will be accountable. It's not fair to artists or to Wiki donors. The law is different in different countries, the strictest rules must be followed in many cases. Editors need simple criteria. Finally, Wiki philosophy is really about free, user created content, not about fair use. The compromise is to allow fair use, but only very fair use, and to encourage generation of free content.
- I don't aim for GA or FA, so it doesn't worry me much, but the situation is indeed really tough for people who aim for these excellent standards. There is nothing to stop you taking photographs of important Konkani icons and uploading them, in fact that's the perfect solution. It's the opposite of OR when it comes to article images! :) Alastair Haines (talk) 10:19, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
More sources
- Regarding Christians in 4th Mysore war, 1799.
- Stephen Neill, A History of Christianity in India: 1707–1858, (Cambridge University Press, 2002), p. 138.
- "On the 4th of April the army arrived in effective condition before the ramparts of Seringapatam, which was stormed on the 3d of May. Colonel Wellesley was now appointed Commandant of the city". — "Obituary: The Duke of Wellington, K.G.", The Gentleman's Magazine October, 1852.
- "Among the territories ceded by the partition treaty after the fall of Seringapatam was the District of Kánara, which stretches along the west coast, north of Malabar and west of Mysore. To the charge of this District Munro was appointed by the Governor-General, and here he remained from July, 1799 till October, 1800." — John Bradshaw, Rulers of India, (New Delhi: Asian Education Services, 2004), p. 87. [First published Oxford University Press, 1893.]
- Wellington (Arthur Wellesley) delegated by his brother, the Governor General of India, to some civilian administration after the war, further delegated Munro to resettle the Konkani Christians in "Kanara" an appointment ratified by his brother as an ongoing responsibility for civilian administration. Munro, we learn from his diary, did not enjoy the appointment much, the government, however, were very pleased with his work. Munro is the most authoritative source we could have regarding the resettlement of the Konkani. He was both an eyewitness, and the senior government representative for the resettlement. Alastair Haines (talk) 03:13, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- PS another general comment. These events are widely documented, thanks to the great prominence of Wellington, and there do not appear to be any disputations regarding matters of fact. Alastair Haines (talk) 06:09, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- More circumstantial material. The Wellesleys were originally from Ireland, and are famous for supporting independence for Irish Catholics. The actions of the two brothers in looking after Catholic Christians captured by their enemy Tipu is amazingly in keeping with so much else that is known of them. Thank you for asking me to get involved, I'm learning all sorts of interesting things. Alastair Haines (talk) 06:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
A Sydney connection — Lachlan Macquarie!
- Here is an amazing primary source, the original kept here in Sydney. It is about the war in general, no help to the article. But Governor Macquarie, as a younger man was at the famous battle! :) Alastair Haines (talk) 06:36, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- And here is a wonderful bibliography of reliable sources related to Seringapatam (produced by an Australian). :) Alastair Haines (talk) 06:41, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- I should add this for completeness.
- There is an Australian "island" named after the battle: Scott and Seringapatam Reefs.
- And just for fun.
- Did you know ...
- that Australia extends west of Mumbai? (72°49′E = 72.82°)
- Heard Island and McDonald Islands (73°31′E = 73.51°)
- but the Australian Antarctic Territory extends from 44°38' E!
- Alastair Haines (talk) 08:04, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- DYKs are for new articles and the DYKs above are not new, I only used the DYK format for fun, to share a fun idea that connects you and I in a funny sort of way.
- Your list of governors is much more worthy of the main page, but I think that lists are not eligable for main page display.
- Anyway, I'm pretty much on Wiki break for a month now, I look forward to catching up when I return in February.
- Best regards to you John. :) Alastair Haines (talk) 02:13, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I vandalized your page because I was frustated and had no help for the Goan Catholics page and at that time I was a new user. Just image a new user with no one to help him the page. I would be very happy if you would contribute to the artile. Regards.Sanfytalk
Done. I have changed the sentence.
Regarding the stats, today only I have asked the Archdiocese priest and he himself stated that there are ~5 lakh Goan Catholics in Goa, I even asked him to put the stats on the net, but he refused to do so.
Done. Removed sentence calming Original research.

General thoughts
Hi Ken, I'm using the Australian holiday period to make progress on my real life writing and research. I am a professional writer and part-time research student. I have to switch to writing for money for a little while. In the mean time, I think the best advice I can give you is quite simple.
- Images: take your own photographs! Wiki wants people to do this. It is an easy and enjoyable way to contribute to articles.
- Sources: go for books not websites. View sources as a long chain: A > B > C > D, where A is first and each modifies the next.
When you find a souce (let's say X), cut and paste its Bibliography somewhere (if it has one). Use names, titles of books and key words to plug into Google to find the sources your first source X was based on. Keep working until you have some primary sources for the subject you are working on. Then work from primary sources, using secondary sources to check your understanding of primary sources as you go.
I think the safest way to work is the way I describe here. I find it fun. The only secret is using bibliographies and key words to work backwards to find more sources. Exploring literature without going back to the earliest sources is like starting to watch a film that is almost finished. You might understand some of the ending, but you don't really know how it all happened. It's the same when we join a conversation that has been going on for a while without us.
However you are doing your research, you are doing brilliantly. It's a real joy to see what you've done with sourcing Mangalorean Catholics. Cheers, Alastair Haines (talk) 04:40, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:English-konkani Dictionary (2001).JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:English-konkani Dictionary (2001).JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kensplanet,
Let me first start by saying a big thanks for all the work you have done on the Mangalorean Catholcis article. I should be giving you a barnstar but I don't have the time to look out for one. Due to my commitments I will be taking some time off from Wikipedia . I request you to keep a close watch on the Konkani related pages:especially the Konkani language article as it may be the subject of vandalism from some musguided patriots as it has been in the past. --Deepak D'Souza 11:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
South Canara
Okay, so basically the problem is that the map at South Canara, when compared with the one at Dakshina Kannada gives you the impression that Udupi is in fact North Canara. Both intros need revision. In any case, I think the merger is still relatively valid given the dearth of data in the South Canara article, and the fact it remains the "original" form of Dakshina Kannada.

Hi, Ken, sorry for taking your priecious time but what more can you expect from a 14 year old (I'm not joking). Mangalorean Catholics are lucky to have someone like you to do their page, but I wish you would elevate Goan Catholics to a GA. Regards.Sanfy (talk)

Re: Governors
- No, a cite is not necessary for each entry. Create lead text in each section "..following list contains..." and cite the sentence with the text following. That should be enough.
- I've ordered the book The Origins of Bombay through flipkart.com to read on the history of Bombay for verification of the history
- Added pics of the attacks. I think you must have seen them.
=Nichalp «Talk»= 15:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Still some way to go. Model it on List of Governors of Tamil Nadu =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Also just think how many "people stubs" we have on wikipedia. This is far too generalised. Try India-politician-stub or something far more specific. The Bald One White cat 17:06, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I;ve proposed a new stub type at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2008/December. For now I'd use UK-politician-stub but I think we ought to create something for governors who worked almost entirely in British india. Please join in and offer your views at the stub sorting page. Cheers The Bald One White cat 17:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
You're welcome. One thing though. Remember to categorise the articles e.g Category:Governors of Bombay The Bald One White cat 17:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
"List of Governors of Bombay" would come under both Wp:India and Wp:UK as well as biography. Oh it is if ar easieir if you add the category as you go along, shouldn't require any extra effort. The Bald One White cat 17:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- Not all governors belong to WP:UK (Not post independence) ones at least. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Negative: Titles are inappropriate. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- I would say 40%. Timelines, pictures needed. Extreme right column needs to be explained =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Dont have anything specific at this time. Open a PR and I'll review in depth post Christmas. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Just wanted to say great work on the list! I hope you get it up to featured if that's your goal. Regards, Craigy (talk) 07:29, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Maps
Kensplanet, I saw your message on Nichalp page, and took a look the the Governors article, which looks well on its way to FL. I think it is important to add some maps to the article (like the 1909 map) to illustrate that the though the article refers to "Bombay", the actual geographical entity that name referred to changed dramatically over the period of centuries. Here are some maps you may be interested in:
- British dominion in c. 1783, shows that they essentially had control over Bombay city.
- India in 1804, again shows that the British had dominion over only Bombay city, but the surrounding "Native States" were in "subsidiary alliance with, or protected by Great Britain"
- Bombay Presidency 1832 You can download the full (1536*1322) jpeg from the website; they claim to license it under CC-by-nc (i.e., non-commercial), but given that the atlas was published in 1844, I think it is simply PD (we can confirm this).
- 1882 map showing perhaps the largest extent of Bombay, stretching from Sind to Goa. This may be very similar to the 1909 status.
These maps are PD and may have already been uploaded on wikipedia/commons (I haven't looked) I'll add more map if I find something of interest. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 08:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that the 1832 map should be PD despite that website's claim.
- Here are some images of Bombay Governors that I found on/off wikipedia
- Henry Bartle Frere: File:BartleFrere.jpg, [2]
- Sir James Fergusson, 6th Baronet: File:Sir_James_Fergusson.jpg, [3]
- Raja Maharaj Singh: [4] (may or may not be free)
- Of course, not all images I have linked in this and the previous post will fit on the page, but it is good to find all we can and then select the ones we want to include. For example, since Frere was the first Crown governor and Maharaj Singh the first Indian governor, their portraits will perhaps be preferable to others. Cheers and happy editing.
