Need help

Hi Sundar Kalarimaster (talk · contribs) is giving us a bit of a problem with his bad faith edits. He claims that Dravidian languages are superior because they have been declared "classic" and are indigenous to India. Could you help straighten things on the India talk page? Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:51, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! He's blocked for ten days as a sock for the moment, so he won't be bothering us much till then. =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:17, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Cheraman Perumal

Hi Sundar,

As you are aware, there is an article in need of translation from Tamil, சேரமான் பெருமாள். There are already two other similar articles in the English Wikipedia, Cheraman Perumal (Islamic convert) and Cheraman Perumal (Nayanar). Is the untranslated one a distinct topic? I see that you are busy, so if you can discern, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, Synchronism (talk) 21:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello again,

Thanks for your response. I had a message on my page from Met saying the opposite of what you said. What I said on Met's page is in response to Met's message to me on my page regarding Cheraman Perumal and Pages in Need of Translation. I was confused. But really thanks for helping Arafath.riyath, (and me),

Cheers, Synchronism (talk) 03:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sundar, That explains why the two were identical! I've sorted out the interwiki links now, so the right articles link to the right articles. I've been in indifferent health lately, but as you've seen, I'm slowly getting back to contributing here, with a few long overdue articles on Tamil poetics. I know you've done some work on venpa - is writing about prosody and poetry something you're interested in? --Arvind (talk) 10:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sundar. Yes, that Nayanar seems to be the same person as the one the Malayalam article is about (the life stories are very similar). The Swedish article is, however, about yet another Cheraman Perumal, so I've removed that interwiki (and added a link to the Periya puranam section dealing with his life, hope that's OK)

At the moment, I'm planning to concentrate on porul, which is my main interest, so it would be great if you could start writing about various aspects of Yappu. For aciriyappa / akaval, this article by Prof. Ulrike Niklaus in Kolam (now only available via the web archive) might be a good source. -- Arvind (talk) 12:23, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks. You did play an important role in the PR process, which I am thankful for.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 16:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
