See your article is getting better every day, great work! Anyway, I found an online book about Noctuidae moths some time ago. I use it for species descriptions, but today I noticed it has a chapter about Lep morphology (mainly about the larval stage), maybe helpful? http://www.eeb.uconn.edu/people/wagner/USDA%20Noctuid%20Guide%20Most%20Current.doc There is additional morphology for every subfamily (in the greyed out blocks of text).

Well, I must say that I don't know much more of it than is allready stated in the article. I know some blood suckers are Calyptra species, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calyptra_(genus). Furthermore, I found some info about lachryphagy (in a wikipedia article!), see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud-puddling (never came across this article before, nice) and a nice online source, although not really dealing with morphology though: http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:q1DD3zMe7dkJ:www.aseanbiodiversity.info/Abstract/53001446.pdf+lachryphagy&hl=nl&gl=nl&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjCCTNsitPLRc-AYglUINU5SM4ytJvbKqvML9bRgzgBV9xlSLozt6bsQWGjBa1n8tE_sip_ryb1We8LTFE_n_gD3c3lHCb7r3KrRcVpGVEfOtvZ2MGLThPtrfaSkSH8pMcyZzOe&sig=AHIEtbSvOfgJTC_PDFPxkQJELaOLqjuP0Q I would love to contribute, but this article really is far beyond my knowledge and English skill, i.e. I don't know the meaning of half of the words in there! :) So I would feel I would do more damage than good to the article if I meddle with it. I would be happy to assist with searching for sources and images and such. Speaking of which, I made two articles yesterday which contain images you might be able to use, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleophora_peribenanderi (I think this is a picture of the genitalia of this species, but I'm not sure) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleophora_graminicolella (a larval case of pupa?).

sensu 2 = in the second sense. The Linnean taxonomy article gives two meanings for Linnean taxonomy, the first being what might more commonly be called the Linnean System (compare Cronquist system), and the second being the nomenclatural scheme which has developed from Linnaeus's work, and which is now represented by the ICBN, ICZN and the corresponding bacteriological code. Elsewhere you might find references to Malvaceae sensu APG, meaning Malvaceae as circumscribed by the APG classification, rather than, say, Cronquist's. Lavateraguy ( talk) 09:19, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello Ashlin. I am the fellow who has been upgrading the page 'Postage Stamps and postal history of the United States'. As the title of this page indeed begins with 'Postage Stamps ...' it was my understanding that this was the appropriate place to enter info about US Postage stamps and stamp images and their history. I have made links to and from this page with dozens of other history pages, so starting up a new page would certainly be easier said than done. The historical aspect of the page is what attracted me to it, as the other stamp page looks more like a catalog. Hoping that this page will be the place to look into the historical aspects of stamps, mail and post offices, open to suggestions. GWillHickers ( talk) 16:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi AshLin,
Thank you for your letter of explanation and your consideration. Well I see WW2censor came in and slashed and burned his way through the page, so it looks like its time to start that new page you mentioned earlier. 'Postage stamps of the United States.' I am hoping the historical aspect I have been using will be an appropriate theme for the page, one that ties into the history pages in an appropriate manner. I am mot really interested in covering all the stamps and do not wish to simply create a 'catalog' of stamp pictures with Scott numbers and tidbits of generic stamp info so perhaps the page should be titled 'American History on US Postage Stamps'. Before I start up a new page I certainly would like your input. Meanwhile there are now dozens of history pages that will not link up properly to the page I referenced before as the links addressed specific sections of the page that have now been removed. I am hoping, with some help from seasoned editors such as yourself, such a page can be started and little by little the many dozens of Wiki' links I have made before in the various history (and other) pages can be redirected there. The first thing that must be done is choosing the right title and writing an introduction to the page. Perhaps in a few days I can get this project off the ground. Again, much thanks.

We have five images that show meaningful magnification; two of them are optical magnification (one macro, one micro), the other three are scanning electron micrographs. The SEM captures are better technically, show the subject more clearly, but owing to the medium, without colour. So discarding the optical in favour of an EM does not seem a good option, since colour is at least part of the function of scales. In particular, the partial optical transparency of scales cannot be captured in electron microscopy. So the most sensible option is to line them up alongside each other, overlapping where the magnification is roughly equivalent. This provides an opportunity for the same gallery to be used in other articles highlighting the differences between optical and EM microscopy, or more general topics such as magnification and so on. Finally, the slightly lower magnification macro photograph is useful to provide spatial context for the more zoomed-in one.
I'll close with the repeated request that you be less trigger-happy in future, and stick to the warnings and instructions that the software provides. Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 13:28, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

One of the Kalvari class is still in service. Vagli still in service. [4] "At a ceremony in Vishakhaptnam on Friday, INS Vela, one of the last two Foxtrots left, would be de-commissioned."

Thanks AshLin, you're keeping a close watch!! The reason is that there is very very little on the individual regiments of the Indian Armoured Corps that I can get hold of. That article appears to be the single reference to 40 Armoured Regiment (apart from the fact that it exists, which is reported widely) on the net. Without enough material to start regimental pages, I've taken to putting the material for stubs (future) at the IAAC page. Does that explain what I'm doing? Kind regards Buckshot06 (talk) 10:14, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
A tactical victory may refer to a victory that results in the completion of a tactical objective as part of an operation or a victory where the losses of the defeated outweigh those of the victor.-wikipedia article: Tactical victory.
So as you can see, there are some distinct differences between a tactical victory and a total military victory. An army can kill more enemy soldiers but still loose the overall war. This is an example of a tactical victory. An army can also acheive operational goals, but suffer high losses and loose a war. In the case of the Yom Kippur war, Israel acheived a tactical victory by keeping the egyptian agressors from taking land in the Sinai. Israel also killed more egyptians than egyt killed Israelis. Israel also succeded in breaking across the Suez canal, and took more territory than the egyptians did. Israel's military victory was in the way she repeled the invading agressors, successfully stopping the massive invasion while starting an invasion of our own. Please feel free to express your thoughts on this topic, but I am re-editing the article.
Thanks and Shalom

Hi!! We met at the Wikipedia Meet Up 2 User:Mokshjuneja Moksh Juneja 12:13, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi AshLin, I thought you might find it handy to use this little piece of code in binomial names of organisms.
This piece of code neatly and invisibly creates a non-breaking space that you can put in between the genus and species name so that the species name never gets separated from its genus name by an automatic line break. That way you don't need to use a period or an underline to keep the two names linked together, as you did back in March in the captions of the moth images in the article Taxonomy of the Lepidoptera. I just recently learned this myself, and I figured it might be helpful to tell you about it. Best wishes to you, Invertzoo ( talk) 21:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ashwin Baindur,
Writing to you because I've noticed a lot of Kannadiga vandalism on Wikipedia pages of famous amchi people like Deepika Padukone, Prakash Padukone and Nandan Nilekani. A lot of people make vandal edits saying stuff that these people speak Kannada as their mother tongue etc. Please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hehest Noticed you have some higher privileges and you would be able to bring these vandal edits down.
Thanks. -- Bhanap1708 ( talk) 20:51, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I honestly have no problem with editors from Karnataka wanting to have names in Kannada alongside Konkani. The trouble is that most people randomly come and remove Devanagari script and attach Kannada script in place of Konkani claiming that Kannada script is used to write Konkani by CSB's. Showing them proof of literature written in Konkani using the Devanagari script by our Swamiji has been in vain. Then there's the other issue of them tweaking the pronunciation. They claim it's padu-ko-nay and not padu-cone. My last revert dispute with this certain individual started out along these lines (script and pronunciation) and ended up with him wanting to have Kannada because it's the state language. It's a different issue he got blocked for vandalism on other pages ;)
PS - As a proud Amchi, it saddens me to see famous Amchis misidentified as either Kannadaigas or Tulus and it's largely because of people who engage in such kind of vandalism. -- Bhanap1708 ( talk) 13:15, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

AshLin,
Thanks for the explanation. I am a high school teacher in northeast Indiana, and we were trying to teach students to contribute responsibly to the web. I'm not sure how to site all the information on Wikipedia. As you mentioned, this is obviously my first time using it. It appeared ambitious,because the posts were a collaborative effort by about 30 students. I simply copied and pasted the students' information. Maybe you could offer some constructive criticism on how we can improve the post, rather than simply eliminating all the students' hard work. Any suggestions would be great. Each post has close 16 sources, as each student had to have 4 cross-referenced sources while working in groups of 4.
thanks,

I understand that you need to be critical of all information posted on Wikipedia. If at all possible, please consider each individual Nation State posted as students were in groups of 4 and their project was to create a Wikipedia post for a Nation-State they chose. Maybe they could be considered individually instead of all coming from 1 person. I know some are better than others, but that is the nature of high school students. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geography&historyofworld ( talk • contribs) 17:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. This is truly a learning experience for both me and my students. We're going to post a few more to finish our project, but you won't hear much more from us for a while. I understand the comments about this page being highly policed, but the project was centered around an academic standard for the state of Indiana. (State, Nations, and Nation-States)
My students and I noticed that the examples were pretty weak, so we thought we would try and contribute.

A stub template, by its very nature, contains no new information. This template is included in various articles which already have links to articles about the Pakistan armed forces, so a repeat link has no value. This sort of unlinking was proposed at WT:STUB some time ago and received no objections. BTW, I've also just modified this template to make it read better and to expand the text to refer to the whole of the Pakistan military, not just the Army, in line with the stub's name and usage. 16:46, 13 November 2010 (UTC) Colonies Chris ( talk)

hi
due to my pc failing I am only able to edit using my mobile phone at the moment and so cannot do any AWB work
Also AWB tends to be used on runs of articles in a category or a collection of articles
there are tools you can use for individual articles. If you look on the GA (good article) page there is a link to the GA tools
there are also editing tools available via the links in the left column of the page which you can enable using your user settinngs
unfortunately it would be difficult for me to link them here for you due to the limitations of this mobile-- Chaosdruid ( talk) 00:03, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, of course it's lower case. Thanks. My intention was to remove "scales" completely (Wikipedia removes the parenthesis automatically. Don't know why I did what I actually did. -- Ettrig ( talk) 15:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Ashwin,
I believe you are familiar with Hehest ( talk) as I noticed you had left him a message few weeks ago.. He had been on hiatus for quite sometime after being blocked for vandalism on other pages like B.K.S. Iyengar
Seems like he is back now and has taken to vandalizing biographies of famous Chitrapur Saraswats by removing name written in Konkani. He is doing this in spite of those pages having a mention of both: Konkani (devanagari) and Kannada scripts.
Please review the following pages and their revision histories:
I do not wish to get in an edit war with him, so I'm writing to you, so you can probably revert his changes and keep on eye on those pages. I don't seem to understand what his problem is. Previously he had been blocked for doing the very same vandalism (removing Tamil script) from
B.K.S. Iyengar. Not to mention, he uses ethnic slurs in his comments (
he refers to Tamilians as 'kongas' ).

Hello! I'm The Arbiter, one of the coordinators for WikiProject Zoo. I am proud to announce the launch of a new portal: Portal:Zoos and Aquariums! ZooPro, ZooFari, and I worked hard to create a new portal for information on zoos, aquariums, and the associated projects and articles on Wikipedia. If you could head on over, take a look at our work, and maybe learn some more about zoos and Wikiproject Zoo, it would be great! Cheers and Happy Editing!

Hey, you know better than this. I know the subject matter and know that this edit is improper, but that user was correct in saying that it is not properly sourced and I can understand how a 19th century term about polytheistic Kali-worshipping Muslims can confuse some people. Do not bite - you actually did not bite, but you still nipped. I am going to go to the library soon and see if I can get some good sources on Muslim thugs. Cheers.

Hi, I've made most of the WikiSpecies pages on Polyommatini and have recently made pages there for Genus Zizula, including Zizula hylax.
I note that on Wikipedia you have promoted the Trimen 1862 taxon gaika, which is an African insect name, above Fabricius' 1775 taxon hylax, which is from India. While a number of authors have in the past used gaika as a replacement for hylax, I can find no official decision from ICZN making that replacement and all the recent lists, publications and websites (Lepindex, Funet, Afrotropical butterflies) that I have retain hylax as the correct species name and sink gaika as a subjective synonym. You will see a larger synonymy and references on my WikiSpecies page.
Can you explain the authority behind your decision to give gaika precedence over hylax as surely Wikipedia, Commons and Species should all say the same thing taxonomically, or we lose credibility. Thank you. ACCassidy ( talk) 11:51, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

At WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles, in which you are listed as a member, we're working on a pretty massive backlog (1000+ articles!) of unassessed articles. We would appreciate it greatly if you would help assess the articles in the link. It's simple to do!

I too was one of the attendees of Today's Wiki 10th Anniversary Meetup at SICSR. It was a good event and well organised. It would be great if we can organise more meetings of Pune Wikipedians in general and put Pune prominently on Wikipedia.

I see what you are saying. You could just say it is just procedure that I'm trying to rewrite everything in my sandbox so I get a consistent flow and don't have too much repeating information. My problem is that Lepidoptera is the article of which of most imporatnce to both Wikiproject Lepidoptera and Insects at this point and its not a Good article as of yet. What Im probably going to do now, is take your advice and move my reworking directly to the article. There, I will do the the tedious (and I mean good forsaken) job of adding references to every paragraph. Then I will add info, thank god though becuase I have obtained the book, Encyclopedia of Insects which should come in handy. I wish I could use my own prior knowledge, but we can't do that for obvious reasons. So referencing I will do. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 13:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

the rational for my edit is as follows- all historical sources agree that the valley of kashmir was a mughal territory but the highlands of Ladakh and the hills of Jammu were FULLY INDEPENDENT DOMAINS.There were several unsuccessful Mughal attacks against Ladakh and only one partially successful adventure where the Ladakhis were assisted in their war against the Tibetans by the Mughals and agreed to pay the Mughals some taxes in return.This promise was promptly withdrawn by Ladakh and it reverted to its fully independent status.Similarly the mountain based kingdoms of Jammu,owing to their geographical location ,in vry heavily hilly and forested terrain forever remained beyonf the reach of Mughal central asian cavalry tactics.[Please see Airavat Singh's excellent source on the military history of these petty but srong kingdoms].This was the primary reason for those places staying Hindu.Any Mughal involvement ,at its peak,was as allies at best.Greetings from Skylark and congrats on your good-work for our motherland as a soldier and now as a wikipedian.Please let me know your thoughts.

I was wondering if you could through some more ideas into what needs to be fixed, expanded, ect. I was thinking of a section on the ecological significance in nature.

Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 22:27, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't notice you replied on your talk page. Yes, your right, since Lepidoptera reflects all species, it does necessarily reflect a summary, with relevant examples. I'll keep in mind in the future to reflect that fact, I guess I was trying to curb the interest of the reader. But I will add it to the species page because I don't think it has this information. Oh and I'm also running out of what to do next, I'm pretty sure this article is ready for review, aside for the obvious reference fixes and typos which can be fixed during the review. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 01:31, 26 February 2011 (UTC) Woops, wrong word choice. And I did change it, I left a message before under copyvio, the user told me what was needed to be done, and I did it.

I share with you the displeasure at the language Joyson Noel has been using. While I do concur on rectifying the technical/legal aspect of the images, I was taken aback by the language in which it was put across. What was a technical irregularity certainly did not warrant the use of words like you been stealing , you happen to be a Hindu with the odd name Lui Godinho. Joyson Noel did not stop his invective correspondence in spite of I suggesting that the images could be uploaded under non-free usage rationale if, as he says date of first publication can not be ascertained. I pray you appreciate the reason for my replies to him. I submit that my latter replies were insolent; however, they were only a consequence of aspersions cast in messages preceding them. On another note, I am in agreement to your proposition that a rationale for fair use be probed. regards Imperium Caelestis 08:02, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, I must say that I don't know much more of it than is allready stated in the article. I know some blood suckers are Calyptra species, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calyptra_(genus). Furthermore, I found some info about lachryphagy (in a wikipedia article!), see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud-puddling (never came across this article before, nice) and a nice online source, although not really dealing with morphology though: http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:q1DD3zMe7dkJ:www.aseanbiodiversity.info/Abstract/53001446.pdf+lachryphagy&hl=nl&gl=nl&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjCCTNsitPLRc-AYglUINU5SM4ytJvbKqvML9bRgzgBV9xlSLozt6bsQWGjBa1n8tE_sip_ryb1We8LTFE_n_gD3c3lHCb7r3KrRcVpGVEfOtvZ2MGLThPtrfaSkSH8pMcyZzOe&sig=AHIEtbSvOfgJTC_PDFPxkQJELaOLqjuP0Q I would love to contribute, but this article really is far beyond my knowledge and English skill, i.e. I don't know the meaning of half of the words in there! :) So I would feel I would do more damage than good to the article if I meddle with it. I would be happy to assist with searching for sources and images and such. Speaking of which, I made two articles yesterday which contain images you might be able to use, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleophora_peribenanderi (I think this is a picture of the genitalia of this species, but I'm not sure) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleophora_graminicolella (a larval case of pupa?).

sensu 2 = in the second sense. The Linnean taxonomy article gives two meanings for Linnean taxonomy, the first being what might more commonly be called the Linnean System (compare Cronquist system), and the second being the nomenclatural scheme which has developed from Linnaeus's work, and which is now represented by the ICBN, ICZN and the corresponding bacteriological code. Elsewhere you might find references to Malvaceae sensu APG, meaning Malvaceae as circumscribed by the APG classification, rather than, say, Cronquist's. Lavateraguy ( talk) 09:19, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello Ashlin. I am the fellow who has been upgrading the page 'Postage Stamps and postal history of the United States'. As the title of this page indeed begins with 'Postage Stamps ...' it was my understanding that this was the appropriate place to enter info about US Postage stamps and stamp images and their history. I have made links to and from this page with dozens of other history pages, so starting up a new page would certainly be easier said than done. The historical aspect of the page is what attracted me to it, as the other stamp page looks more like a catalog. Hoping that this page will be the place to look into the historical aspects of stamps, mail and post offices, open to suggestions. GWillHickers ( talk) 16:48, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi AshLin,
Thank you for your letter of explanation and your consideration. Well I see WW2censor came in and slashed and burned his way through the page, so it looks like its time to start that new page you mentioned earlier. 'Postage stamps of the United States.' I am hoping the historical aspect I have been using will be an appropriate theme for the page, one that ties into the history pages in an appropriate manner. I am mot really interested in covering all the stamps and do not wish to simply create a 'catalog' of stamp pictures with Scott numbers and tidbits of generic stamp info so perhaps the page should be titled 'American History on US Postage Stamps'. Before I start up a new page I certainly would like your input. Meanwhile there are now dozens of history pages that will not link up properly to the page I referenced before as the links addressed specific sections of the page that have now been removed. I am hoping, with some help from seasoned editors such as yourself, such a page can be started and little by little the many dozens of Wiki' links I have made before in the various history (and other) pages can be redirected there. The first thing that must be done is choosing the right title and writing an introduction to the page. Perhaps in a few days I can get this project off the ground. Again, much thanks.

We have five images that show meaningful magnification; two of them are optical magnification (one macro, one micro), the other three are scanning electron micrographs. The SEM captures are better technically, show the subject more clearly, but owing to the medium, without colour. So discarding the optical in favour of an EM does not seem a good option, since colour is at least part of the function of scales. In particular, the partial optical transparency of scales cannot be captured in electron microscopy. So the most sensible option is to line them up alongside each other, overlapping where the magnification is roughly equivalent. This provides an opportunity for the same gallery to be used in other articles highlighting the differences between optical and EM microscopy, or more general topics such as magnification and so on. Finally, the slightly lower magnification macro photograph is useful to provide spatial context for the more zoomed-in one.
I'll close with the repeated request that you be less trigger-happy in future, and stick to the warnings and instructions that the software provides. Papa Lima Whiskey ( talk) 13:28, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

One of the Kalvari class is still in service. Vagli still in service. [4] "At a ceremony in Vishakhaptnam on Friday, INS Vela, one of the last two Foxtrots left, would be de-commissioned." The Vela and Vagli were the two foxtrot left in service. Vela has been decommissioned. Now only INS Vagli is in service. So you will revert it back. Bcs09 ( talk) 06:20, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks AshLin, you're keeping a close watch!! The reason is that there is very very little on the individual regiments of the Indian Armoured Corps that I can get hold of. That article appears to be the single reference to 40 Armoured Regiment (apart from the fact that it exists, which is reported widely) on the net. Without enough material to start regimental pages, I've taken to putting the material for stubs (future) at the IAAC page. Does that explain what I'm doing? Kind regards Buckshot06 (talk) 10:14, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
A tactical victory may refer to a victory that results in the completion of a tactical objective as part of an operation or a victory where the losses of the defeated outweigh those of the victor.-wikipedia article: Tactical victory.
So as you can see, there are some distinct differences between a tactical victory and a total military victory. An army can kill more enemy soldiers but still loose the overall war. This is an example of a tactical victory. An army can also acheive operational goals, but suffer high losses and loose a war. In the case of the Yom Kippur war, Israel acheived a tactical victory by keeping the egyptian agressors from taking land in the Sinai. Israel also killed more egyptians than egyt killed Israelis. Israel also succeded in breaking across the Suez canal, and took more territory than the egyptians did. Israel's military victory was in the way she repeled the invading agressors, successfully stopping the massive invasion while starting an invasion of our own. Please feel free to express your thoughts on this topic, but I am re-editing the article.
Thanks and Shalom

Why did you delete that reference on Inkscape. Mr Nathan Willis is a extremely well known professional writer specializing in Open Source (he is an authority on graphic apps), who writes for Linux.com and many other top publications. Mr. Willis also happens to be a long term member of the Inkscape community. The entry in the wiki page referenced his article on a blog. How can than not be a reliable accurate source?

Hi!! We met at the Wikipedia Meet Up 2 User:Mokshjuneja Moksh Juneja 12:13, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi AshLin, I thought you might find it handy to use this little piece of code in binomial names of organisms.
This piece of code neatly and invisibly creates a non-breaking space that you can put in between the genus and species name so that the species name never gets separated from its genus name by an automatic line break. That way you don't need to use a period or an underline to keep the two names linked together, as you did back in March in the captions of the moth images in the article Taxonomy of the Lepidoptera. I just recently learned this myself, and I figured it might be helpful to tell you about it. Best wishes to you, Invertzoo ( talk) 21:01, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

"Your changes to old British Indian Army articles to remove Ind-mil stub are POV. Ind-mil stubs contain all stubs of units part of the present Indian Army or the old British Indian Army.

Dear AshLin, Ind-mil stub shows the flag of post-independence Indian Army. Its display in articles/stubs of units that were awarded to Pakistan Army at the time of independence would make it factually incorrect.

Hi Ashwin Baindur,
Writing to you because I've noticed a lot of Kannadiga vandalism on Wikipedia pages of famous amchi people like Deepika Padukone, Prakash Padukone and Nandan Nilekani. A lot of people make vandal edits saying stuff that these people speak Kannada as their mother tongue etc. Please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hehest Noticed you have some higher privileges and you would be able to bring these vandal edits down.
Thanks. -- Bhanap1708 ( talk) 20:51, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the response. I honestly have no problem with editors from Karnataka wanting to have names in Kannada alongside Konkani. The trouble is that most people randomly come and remove Devanagari script and attach Kannada script in place of Konkani claiming that Kannada script is used to write Konkani by CSB's. Showing them proof of literature written in Konkani using the Devanagari script by our Swamiji has been in vain. Then there's the other issue of them tweaking the pronunciation. They claim it's padu-ko-nay and not padu-cone. My last revert dispute with this certain individual started out along these lines (script and pronunciation) and ended up with him wanting to have Kannada because it's the state language. It's a different issue he got blocked for vandalism on other pages ;)
PS - As a proud Amchi, it saddens me to see famous Amchis misidentified as either Kannadaigas or Tulus and it's largely because of people who engage in such kind of vandalism. -- Bhanap1708 ( talk) 13:15, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

AshLin,
Thanks for the explanation. I am a high school teacher in northeast Indiana, and we were trying to teach students to contribute responsibly to the web. I'm not sure how to site all the information on Wikipedia. As you mentioned, this is obviously my first time using it. It appeared ambitious,because the posts were a collaborative effort by about 30 students. I simply copied and pasted the students' information. Maybe you could offer some constructive criticism on how we can improve the post, rather than simply eliminating all the students' hard work. Any suggestions would be great. Each post has close 16 sources, as each student had to have 4 cross-referenced sources while working in groups of 4.
thanks,

I understand that you need to be critical of all information posted on Wikipedia. If at all possible, please consider each individual Nation State posted as students were in groups of 4 and their project was to create a Wikipedia post for a Nation-State they chose. Maybe they could be considered individually instead of all coming from 1 person. I know some are better than others, but that is the nature of high school students. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geography&historyofworld ( talk • contribs) 17:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. This is truly a learning experience for both me and my students. We're going to post a few more to finish our project, but you won't hear much more from us for a while. I understand the comments about this page being highly policed, but the project was centered around an academic standard for the state of Indiana. (State, Nations, and Nation-States)
My students and I noticed that the examples were pretty weak, so we thought we would try and contribute.

A stub template, by its very nature, contains no new information. This template is included in various articles which already have links to articles about the Pakistan armed forces, so a repeat link has no value. This sort of unlinking was proposed at WT:STUB some time ago and received no objections. BTW, I've also just modified this template to make it read better and to expand the text to refer to the whole of the Pakistan military, not just the Army, in line with the stub's name and usage. 16:46, 13 November 2010 (UTC) Colonies Chris ( talk)

due to my pc failing I am only able to edit using my mobile phone at the moment and so cannot do any AWB work
Also AWB tends to be used on runs of articles in a category or a collection of articles
there are tools you can use for individual articles. If you look on the GA (good article) page there is a link to the GA tools
there are also editing tools available via the links in the left column of the page which you can enable using your user settinngs

Hi Ashwin,
I believe you are familiar with Hehest ( talk) as I noticed you had left him a message few weeks ago.. He had been on hiatus for quite sometime after being blocked for vandalism on other pages like B.K.S. Iyengar
Seems like he is back now and has taken to vandalizing biographies of famous Chitrapur Saraswats by removing name written in Konkani. He is doing this in spite of those pages having a mention of both: Konkani (devanagari) and Kannada scripts.
Please review the following pages and their revision histories:
I do not wish to get in an edit war with him, so I'm writing to you, so you can probably revert his changes and keep on eye on those pages. I don't seem to understand what his problem is. Previously he had been blocked for doing the very same vandalism (removing Tamil script) from
B.K.S. Iyengar. Not to mention, he uses ethnic slurs in his comments (
he refers to Tamilians as 'kongas' ).

Hey, you know better than this. I know the subject matter and know that this edit is improper, but that user was correct in saying that it is not properly sourced and I can understand how a 19th century term about polytheistic Kali-worshipping Muslims can confuse some people.

Hi, I've made most of the WikiSpecies pages on Polyommatini and have recently made pages there for Genus Zizula, including Zizula hylax.
I note that on Wikipedia you have promoted the Trimen 1862 taxon gaika, which is an African insect name, above Fabricius' 1775 taxon hylax, which is from India. While a number of authors have in the past used gaika as a replacement for hylax, I can find no official decision from ICZN making that replacement and all the recent lists, publications and websites (Lepindex, Funet, Afrotropical butterflies) that I have retain hylax as the correct species name and sink gaika as a subjective synonym. You will see a larger synonymy and references on my WikiSpecies page.
Can you explain the authority behind your decision to give gaika precedence over hylax as surely Wikipedia, Commons and Species should all say the same thing taxonomically, or we lose credibility. Thank you. ACCassidy ( talk) 11:51, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

At WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles, in which you are listed as a member, we're working on a pretty massive backlog (1000+ articles!) of unassessed articles. We would appreciate it greatly if you would help assess the articles in the link. It's simple to do!
It's not a difficult task, but there's a lot to get done. Our hope is that we can chip through the backlog and assess every article within the auspices of the project. Thanks, bibliomaniac 1 5 00:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello Sir,
I too was one of the attendees of Today's Wiki 10th Anniversary Meetup at SICSR. It was a good event and well organised. It would be great if we can organise more meetings of Pune Wikipedians in general and put Pune prominently on Wikipedia. For example I really liked that there is a initiative to document all the 500 points of interest in Pune. Hoping we will keep in touch.
When they are available, please let me know-I would like to get the Wiki 10 Tee-Shirt.
Thanking You,
GreenEdu

Hi Ashwin,
I am doing great. We celebrated the 10th Anniversary Celeberations at VJTI on the 15th.
My personal edit count has touched around 150 and I am also looking for a mentor to adopt me.
Hope everything is well with you.

Dear Ashwin,
We are planning a series of 'Wikipedia takes Mumbai' Photo Walks to photograph historic/importaint monuments in and around Mumbai every monday morning.
I have started the habit of signing off with "~~~~" on talk and also other project pages. I am not yet 100% familiar with wikimarkup, but with more than 150 edits I am on a 'Do it and learn it your self' path :-).
Basically having a nice time on the English Wikipedia :-)

I find that the wikipedia user 'Hilldu' is repeatedly editing my user page under the pretext of helping me fix external links. I do not prefer any other Wikipedia user to edit my user page. Kindly either lock/protect the page or set the privilege on my page so that only I can edit it.

Hi Ashlin Forebear with me. Misunderstandings of the term Holotype are legion so this page needs a little attention and the emphasis of some points. I'll start with an outline on the talk page and invite consultation (also maybe by e-mail). When we have an agreed text we can change the page (or not).This one has been bugging me for some time.Talk to you soon Robert Notafly ( talk) 21:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I see what you are saying. You could just say it is just procedure that I'm trying to rewrite everything in my sandbox so I get a consistent flow and don't have too much repeating information. My problem is that Lepidoptera is the article of which of most imporatnce to both Wikiproject Lepidoptera and Insects at this point and its not a Good article as of yet. What Im probably going to do now, is take your advice and move my reworking directly to the article. There, I will do the the tedious (and I mean good forsaken) job of adding references to every paragraph. Then I will add info, thank god though becuase I have obtained the book, Encyclopedia of Insects which should come in handy. I wish I could use my own prior knowledge, but we can't do that for obvious reasons. So referencing I will do. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 13:55, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
What I'll probably do is have each sect (head, thorax, abdomen) each have part for both the adults and the larvae. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 14:36, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
the rational for my edit is as follows- all historical sources agree that the valley of kashmir was a mughal territory but the highlands of Ladakh and the hills of Jammu were FULLY INDEPENDENT DOMAINS.There were several unsuccessful Mughal attacks against Ladakh and only one partially successful adventure where the Ladakhis were assisted in their war against the Tibetans by the Mughals and agreed to pay the Mughals some taxes in return.This promise was promptly withdrawn by Ladakh and it reverted to its fully independent status.Similarly the mountain based kingdoms of Jammu,owing to their geographical location ,in vry heavily hilly and forested terrain forever remained beyonf the reach of Mughal central asian cavalry tactics.[Please see Airavat Singh's excellent source on the military history of these petty but srong kingdoms].This was the primary reason for those places staying Hindu.Any Mughal involvement ,at its peak,was as allies at best.Greetings from Skylark and congrats on your good-work for our motherland as a soldier and now as a wikipedian.Please let me know your thoughts.

I was wondering if you could through some more ideas into what needs to be fixed, expanded, ect. I was thinking of a section on the ecological significance in nature. But other then that, I'm not really that sure. I will be continuing to add and fix things randomly, but I might need some help, because I might through it into the fryer soon. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 22:27, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't notice you replied on your talk page. Yes, your right, since Lepidoptera reflects all species, it does necessarily reflect a summary, with relevant examples. I'll keep in mind in the future to reflect that fact, I guess I was trying to curb the interest of the reader. But I will add it to the species page because I don't think it has this information. Oh and I'm also running out of what to do next, I'm pretty sure this article is ready for review, aside for the obvious reference fixes and typos which can be fixed during the review. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 01:31, 26 February 2011 (UTC) Woops, wrong word choice. And I did change it, I left a message before under copyvio, the user told me what was needed to be done, and I did it.

As a member of Wikiproject insects you maybe want to voice your opinion this discussion on the use of vernacular or scientific names in higher ranking taxa. Bugboy52.4 ¦ =-= 12:53, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
I share with you the displeasure at the language Joyson Noel has been using. While I do concur on rectifying the technical/legal aspect of the images, I was taken aback by the language in which it was put across. What was a technical irregularity certainly did not warrant the use of words like you been stealing , you happen to be a Hindu with the odd name Lui Godinho. Joyson Noel did not stop his invective correspondence in spite of I suggesting that the images could be uploaded under non-free usage rationale if, as he says date of first publication can not be ascertained. I pray you appreciate the reason for my replies to him. I submit that my latter replies were insolent; however, they were only a consequence of aspersions cast in messages preceding them. On another note, I am in agreement to your proposition that a rationale for fair use be probed. regards Imperium Caelestis 08:02, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
On another note, Joyson Noelreported me on the administration page and has been reprimanded by administrators. [7] Imperium Caelestis 13:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I read on Meta that a translated logo for Wikipedia Pali is needed. Thus, I created one. I want to know how can I switch the logo or request a bugzilla developer to do so.

I've been working on a lot of articles in my spare time, such as aforementioned (Coleoptera being be the next project), including insect evolution and next insect flight. Its been difficult to do all them at ones, but I've managed. However, can you do me a favor and add some pictures to the Insect morphology, as you did such a good job on the External morphology of Lepidoptera, just until I can draw up some diagrams of my own (maybe add some info here and there :D).

Dear Ashlin, the cap badge you removed is not of Guides Cavalry but of the Corps of Guides. Both Guides Infantry and Cavalry, which made up the Corps of Guides, wore the same badge until 1922, when the Corps was dissolved and the Infantry became a component of the 12th Frontier Force Regiment. I would request that you restore the badge to the page. Regards. -- Beloochee ( talk) 02:15, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
