Dear Ganesh,
Today you visited Bishnupriya Manipuri Wiki, and left a question for me that how did I translate 5000 Indian Cities in a short time? First of all I would like to thank you and your script. I was trying to contact with you and left a few lines at Ganeshbot/Requests page (22:52, 26 October 2006 (hist) (diff) User:Ganeshbot/Requests (→Requests for template substitution, replacement, or addition)) for your suggestion and help. Since then no response and page also move to archive or deleted.
Anyway, using your script, I created almost 80% of the Indian city within a month. I translate the database file 1 state at a time just using Windows Notepad, Avro Keybord (UniBijoy). I hope I will finish by next week.
I thank you again, and also I thank Ragib (from Bangla + English wiki) for his help and tips.

I will have a look but geograhical locations do not interest me generally. You are doing great work. Carry on! -- Seejee 00:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
This is interesting...someone's been trying to make those changes for a few days now: Special:Contributions/MichaelWolfgang. When I reverted it the first time, I sent a polite note telling him to take it up on the talk page. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 03:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Why did you block a template which I created and intended to expand? There is no rational point in blocking Template:WP SouthAsia. I want it unblocked and as I have decided to agree to keep current picture for the time being. Szhaider 12:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Where is that so-called discussion you talk about. I created South Asia tag to REPLACE India tags in those articles which are NOT about present day India. Tagging Pakistan related articles with Ashok Chakkar and calling the entire region India, which is now completely worng, is outrageous and offensive to the Pakistani Wikipedians. Ashok Chakkar is same as Indian flag and reflects favourism for a relogion, i.e. Hinduism which I think is against NPOV. Now using the map of entire region and saying this article is about India; well it is outright outrageous and completely unacceptable. You as an administrator should stay away from this on going dispute as your Indian background is making you take sides against me. Szhaider 18:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC) Shzhaider speaks for all of us.Adding Indian refference or tags to any Pakistani-related articles is indeed an offence to Pakistani wikipedians.My suspicion was that your Indian background in taking sides against Pakistani users which clearly violates the NPOV policy here on wikipedia.My suspicion to Shzhaiders claims are only confirmed when you threatened to report him to the board while simply begging a fellow Indian wikipedian not to remove tags.My best solution is to let a non-south asian wikipedian handle this dispute if wikipedia is to stay neutral and not be corrupted. Nadirali 21:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali
Ganesh, do you see a pattern here? Compare this rant to the rant above. I'm starting to connect the dots. Bakaman Bakatalk 04:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
guess your template change wasn't neutral enough.-- D-Boy 19:02, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Ganesh, I have created a new article titled Punch Dialogue as per some mentions in the film actor Wiki pages. I would like to ask for help as to how to invite people to edit it. Kindly suggest ways. Thanks Sudharsansn ( talk • contribs) 19:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Do you think you could start work on a script box for indic scripts? Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Korea-related_articles)#Korean_templates is a good reference. The discussion seems to be headed to proposal 3.-- D-Boy 04:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganeshk,I want to express my full support for Shzhaider,regarding the removal of the indus from the History of India page to either the page user:Szhaider has created or move it to the History of Pakistan page(prefferred). If you plan to report this dispute to the administrators notice board,then I want the board members in charge of resolving this dispute to know that he still will recieve my full support.Adding refference of the indus to the India history page is an offence to us Pakistani wikipedians as Szhaider claims. Nadirali 06:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali
Dont confuse the people of Pakistan or their ancestors with Islam.Pakistani history predates Islam and goes all the way back to thousands of years BCE.Just as Iraqi history predates Islam and can be traced to the Babylonian times. Nadirali 21:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali

By the way, can you please set up Werdnabot for my talkpage? I'll be mostly away in the next few weeks and only partially available later on.

Hi Ganeshk,
Dangerous-Boy mentioned that you were working on an Indian name table, so I wanted to let you know that I mocked one up at User:Visviva/Test. Please feel free to use any of the ideas there, or not, as you see fit. The one I made needs more work -- and almost certainly more languages -- but you'd know better than I exactly what is needed. Cheers, -- Visviva 16:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanx for ur prompt reply......actually what I got from district statistical cell depicted the same figure for whole of the district...I have only one objection about the google map...y did u remove the link to kulpahar map on google map?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rohit klar ( talk • contribs) 17:49, 2 December 2006.
Please see the citations for the adding. It was taken from the Ayyavazhi article and the sources are University Papers. See that 8000 worship centers for Ayyavazhi through out South India. It may definitely more than that of the numbers of Zorastrians and Jews in india. - 61.1.210.227 23:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Since theres no such thing as "Pakistani history" my removing the tags is justified. I dont care what two POV-pushers will do or not do about it. If they accuse me of being an Indian nationalist, I am one of the more active members on WikiProject Bangladesh where we have no problems between West Bengali, non-Bengali, and Bangladeshi editors. Many Pakistani editors engage in removing "Indian imperialism" and "Bengali traitor propaganda", and I merely undo their bad faith vandalism. Putting a Pakistani flag on ancient Hindu cities makes no sense. Baka man 23:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Putting a Pakistani flag on ancient Hindu sites makes no more sense than putting any refference to India or Indian tags in Pakistan's history page.I too question the diversity of wikipedian adminitrators. Nadirali 21:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali

Hi Ganesh, I think you were asked something like this before. I see 10 unassessed Top Importance articles. How do I access them? Shouldnt the number 10 be wikilinked or something? — Lost (talk) 12:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganesh, Kingboy has added support for the India project. I did a small trial run last night. Seems to run fine, but he's added some features. Will ask on the plugin talk page. Also can you do a run as soon as you are back from the break and give feedback — Lost (talk) 07:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for setting the bot up, Ganesh. The default settings are fine with me; I'll change them if needed. -- Sundar \ talk \ contribs 11:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I need a bit of help from you regarding Carnatic music. There are a couple of editors User:Srkris and User:Sarvagnya who seem to be dead against a paragraph in this article. The paragraph is exactly seven sentences long and almost every sentence is cited, some of them from multiple sources. This paragraph is infact has the highest number of citation in the entire article. There is nothing controversial about the paragraph either. However these users seem to have a POV against this paragraph. I haven't received any vaild reasons for the deletion apart from vaguely labelling them 'fake', 'rubbish', 'half truth', 'impretinent', etc. I'm tired of this. BTW Srkris got blocked for a week for his violations of policy. I haven't heard any explanations from the other users as yet. Can you please help dealing with these users? thanks Parthi talk/ contribs 06:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Dear Ganeshk,
There is a fierce discussion going on in the India page with Fowler&fowler trying to impose eurocentric views on words such as "Colony" and removing "Formation" info from the India Infobox. I request you to put in your comments supporting the removal of the sentence "Colonised as ..." and reframing it to "India emerged as a...expelled the non-natives...single nation-state". I also request your support for the Formation info in the infobox. Additionally I also request your support that references need not be necessary all the time (as all references contain eurocentric terms).
An Indic page should contain non-nationalistic Indic views only, and not eurocentric views.
Regards, Himalayanashoka 07:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I think there is confusion on how to go about starting a bot (eg here and here) and there is no wikipage covering this, the main bot page talks only about policy, not avenues for getting started, how to make a bot etc. I have made a suggestion that a howto page be established and, as a frequent editor helping out with bots, I would appreciate your comments. Many Thanks - PocklingtonDan 07:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the downtime. References converter is now back up and running. About a week ago the hard drive in my server crashed. Luckily it stayed together long enough to allow me to pull all the data off onto a new hard drive, but I still had to go through the process of installing Linux on the new hard drive, installing all the necessary programs, and loading in all of the old data from the server. I got all of my essential services up within two days (CVS, Apache, Wiki), but I kind of forgot about web scripts, which I finally got around to fixing today. Everything should be fully functional again. If you see any bugs, just send me a message. You are receiving this message because you are on the spamlist.

This is just a friendly reminder that Wikipedia Weekly has been released with a new episode!
Actually, it's a couple of new episodes. I've been moving to an place closer to campus (my commute was getting to me) and hence, the reminder message was a little slow in coming out. So slow we put out 2 where before we had 1.
Anyways, all is good now, here's the new episodes!
As always you can download old episodes and more at http://wikipediaweekly.com/!

Thanks for the reply. I dont know python at all. However, I can learn a few things required for the bot operation. Plus, I was thinking of creating a Babelfish like software for Indic languages (as most of the grammar and syntax of these languages are derived from Sanskrit and hence are similar) so that an article created in, say Nepal Bhasa can be directly converted to Bhojpuri or Pali.

Hey, Ganesh, I was the admin who processed your request for semi-protection for IIPM. Another user cannot edit the page and asked me if I could unprotect the page. He also says he was the one who originally asked for semi-protection, and I just wanted to run this by you. Do you think I should unprotect for 3 days so the user will be allowed to edit, or should I just tell him to wait until the 26th and then he will be allowed to freely edit the page? Thanks for your insight. By the way, the whole conversation at my talk page. See User talk:Nishkid64#IIPM Edit Protect. Nishkid 64 18:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
This is ridiculous. Adding the India banner to thousands of talk pages, by bot, is nationalistic aggression. Please stop. Zora 00:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganesh ji The IIPM Controversy section is clearly not in line with Wikipedia:Verfiability and Wikipedia: NPOV. Please can you suggest to me how we can improve this>? Iipmstudent9 05:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Ganesh for the message to Nishkid. You perhaps conveniently forget that I was the one reverting back to "your" versions (that is Deepak Shenoy's versions) when the vandals starting attacking. I have also read the issue of your personal award to Deepak Shenoy and your personal affiliations with supporting the IIPM Controversy section. You might not at all appreciate my statements to you on this, but I quote from the person whom you gave the barnstar award for adhering to NPOV and for keeping the IIPM controversy alive. When I told Deepak Shenoy that people should not be reverting illogically, guess what he told me... The following is quoted from the trancripts of Deepak Shenoy's discussions with me when he attempted to steamroll me into consenting throwing off your admin powers to me:
Ganesh, if you are an administrator, who is also editing pages at IIPM, I do not believe that you should allow users like Deepak Shenoy to show off his personal closeness to you and to literally frighten other editors into acceptance. Kindly give the correct view to Nishkid. I'll be highly grateful if you also advise me on whether I'm wrong in assuming what I have assumed. Regards, Mrinal Mrinal Pandey 12:11, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm copying part of my message to you that I've left at the IIPM talk page. This is just for your information.
Dear HighBc, I noticed you had commented recently on a wiki site of IIPM. I wished to find out from you how to complain against a wiki administrator who, I have reasons and proof to believe, is misusing his powers to support one particular editor. If you can kindly show me the appropriate forum, I'll lodge a complaint against the administrator. I searched wiki and have not been able to find a link for the same. You could perhaps also go to the discussions page on the IIPM site to see my viewpoints regarding this. Regards, Mrinal Mrinal Pandey 12:27, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ganesh, I had created a new subsection on ANI to bring some clarity on the topic at hand. But the discussion again turned to history of Pakistan and India without any inputs on the actual topic. How do you suggest we move ahead on this? Should we take it up on another forum? — Lost (talk) 08:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I read over TN article yesterday, and it was of fair quality. But recent changes by User:Asprakash in my opinion has decreased the quality. He/she has removed entire section about education and put up a meaningless list.
Previously the article was slighly pro Tamil nationlistic, but recent changes are just some agenda driven. The agenda seems to be some pan Indian identity. Why is a subject heading such as Racial concepts is necessary in an article about Tamil Nadu? Also, bombarding the reader with economic statistics is simply not good writing? I can go on.
I am not familiar with all those involved in editing this article, thus I do not want to make any bold changes or get into a cat fight. Please, take note and revert to an acceptable condition. I would say the last time I edited (minor changes ex: tamil -> Tamil), the article was in fair condition. There has been some other edits as well.
Thanks. -- Natkeeran 16:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I've cleaned it already as best as I could, including references and stuff, but these things always need expansion. I'll be keeping a heads-up in the media also for reliable info to go in this article. Hope you're well. Ekantik talk 04:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Ganesh, Sorry for taking your time. Anonymous users are bringing back POV information again. Those users are seeming like people either who suffered from corruption in medical field or who strongly believes in it, but it is still personal opinion and also deviates from the main topic. What is the right thing to do? I reverted few times earlier and am tired. Mlpkr 18:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ganesh, after the discussion on ANI died down, I approached Zora on her page. See this and this. She replied first time but since she hasnt shown interest after my three subsequent replies, I am assuming in good faith that her objections have been taken care of.

Hi, I am writing about the user, Himalayanashoka, who was blocked for 48 hours last night for a 3RR violation. This user has a long history of vandalism and sockpuppetry on the India page. Well, this morning I noticed that 3 new users had appeared who seemed to be making the same kind of edits and writing in the same quaint style. These are: HomzUmrigar , Shyamasundara Vetrivel and MazharUbaid. Two of these user pages were created this morning and the third on December 30 (perhaps in anticipation of the battle). They are all making the kind of bold edits that beginners seldom make. Thought I'd let you know. I have also written to admin William Connolly who blocked him last night. Don't know what to do with this guy (these guys?). Perhaps it is time to protect the India page. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 16:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ganeshk,
Introducing myself. Though I am a silent reader and look forward to clean up grammatic mistakes in interesting pages because of my journalistic background. Was 'naturally' going through the India page (no contribution as yet) and saw the various versions (I hope I am right in the using the word version). The lead written by Chanakyathegreat, NobleEagle, IndianStar was really good, accurate and presented a very balanced view about the country. However, it has been reverted by you to an older version which from my point of view does not give a true picture about India.
Since you are a senior member here, would request you to look into it and sort it out so that the page reads better.
Rakesh85barua 03:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
You have been invited to help improve the article Sita Ram Goel in this weeks's Hinduism collaboration. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. See also these related articles. [21]
You can also vote for next's week collaboration at the project page: Wikipedia:Hinduism-related Collaboration of the week. Unfortunately, the Collaboration site is little known, that's why the reminder. -- Bondego 14:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
W.r.t discussions regarding adding images to Indian article, Discussions in Talk:India and Talk pages of mine and Chanakya shows that people favour adding those images. I will improve demography image further based on feedback from people so that it won't clutter with article contents.(I will resubmit in Talk pages after improvement).I will add other images to the articles. Is there any additional suggestions from your end?-- Indianstar 15:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
ta:Wikipedia:தரமறிதல் முறைமையும் தரங்களும் Please, create the templates etc in Eng, and I will later translate it. Including the stats process... One system is sufficient. We do not need to localize the assessment. Thanks. -- Natkeeran 17:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Ganesh,
Today you visited Bishnupriya Manipuri Wiki, and left a question for me that how did I translate 5000 Indian Cities in a short time? First of all I would like to thank you and your script. I was trying to contact with you and left a few lines at Ganeshbot/Requests page (22:52, 26 October 2006 (hist) (diff) User:Ganeshbot/Requests (→Requests for template substitution, replacement, or addition)) for your suggestion and help. Since then no response and page also move to archive or deleted.
Anyway, using your script, I created almost 80% of the Indian city within a month. I translate the database file 1 state at a time just using Windows Notepad, Avro Keybord (UniBijoy). I hope I will finish by next week.
I thank you again, and also I thank Ragib (from Bangla + English wiki) for his help and tips.

Why did you block a template which I created and intended to expand? There is no rational point in blocking Template:WP SouthAsia. I want it unblocked and as I have decided to agree to keep current picture for the time being. Szhaider 12:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Where is that so-called discussion you talk about. I created South Asia tag to REPLACE India tags in those articles which are NOT about present day India. Tagging Pakistan related articles with Ashok Chakkar and calling the entire region India, which is now completely worng, is outrageous and offensive to the Pakistani Wikipedians. Ashok Chakkar is same as Indian flag and reflects favourism for a relogion, i.e. Hinduism which I think is against NPOV. Now using the map of entire region and saying this article is about India; well it is outright outrageous and completely unacceptable. You as an administrator should stay away from this on going dispute as your Indian background is making you take sides against me. Szhaider 18:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC) Shzhaider speaks for all of us.Adding Indian refference or tags to any Pakistani-related articles is indeed an offence to Pakistani wikipedians.My suspicion was that your Indian background in taking sides against Pakistani users which clearly violates the NPOV policy here on wikipedia.My suspicion to Shzhaiders claims are only confirmed when you threatened to report him to the board while simply begging a fellow Indian wikipedian not to remove tags.My best solution is to let a non-south asian wikipedian handle this dispute if wikipedia is to stay neutral and not be corrupted. Nadirali 21:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali
Ganesh, do you see a pattern here? Compare this rant to the rant above. I'm starting to connect the dots. Bakaman Bakatalk 04:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ganesh, I have created a new article titled Punch Dialogue as per some mentions in the film actor Wiki pages. I would like to ask for help as to how to invite people to edit it. Kindly suggest ways. Thanks Sudharsansn ( talk • contribs) 19:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Do you think you could start work on a script box for indic scripts? Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(Korea-related_articles)#Korean_templates is a good reference. The discussion seems to be headed to proposal 3.-- D-Boy 04:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganeshk,I want to express my full support for Shzhaider,regarding the removal of the indus from the History of India page to either the page user:Szhaider has created or move it to the History of Pakistan page(prefferred). If you plan to report this dispute to the administrators notice board,then I want the board members in charge of resolving this dispute to know that he still will recieve my full support.Adding refference of the indus to the India history page is an offence to us Pakistani wikipedians as Szhaider claims. Nadirali 06:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali
Dont confuse the people of Pakistan or their ancestors with Islam.Pakistani history predates Islam and goes all the way back to thousands of years BCE.Just as Iraqi history predates Islam and can be traced to the Babylonian times. Nadirali 21:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali

Hi Ganeshk,
Dangerous-Boy mentioned that you were working on an Indian name table, so I wanted to let you know that I mocked one up at User:Visviva/Test. Please feel free to use any of the ideas there, or not, as you see fit. The one I made needs more work -- and almost certainly more languages -- but you'd know better than I exactly what is needed. Cheers, -- Visviva 16:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanx for ur prompt reply......actually what I got from district statistical cell depicted the same figure for whole of the district...I have only one objection about the google map...y did u remove the link to kulpahar map on google map?? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rohit klar ( talk • contribs) 17:49, 2 December 2006.
Please see the citations for the adding. It was taken from the Ayyavazhi article and the sources are University Papers. See that 8000 worship centers for Ayyavazhi through out South India. It may definitely more than that of the numbers of Zorastrians and Jews in india. - 61.1.210.227 23:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Since theres no such thing as "Pakistani history" my removing the tags is justified. I dont care what two POV-pushers will do or not do about it. If they accuse me of being an Indian nationalist, I am one of the more active members on WikiProject Bangladesh where we have no problems between West Bengali, non-Bengali, and Bangladeshi editors. Many Pakistani editors engage in removing "Indian imperialism" and "Bengali traitor propaganda", and I merely undo their bad faith vandalism. Putting a Pakistani flag on ancient Hindu cities makes no sense. Baka man 23:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Putting a Pakistani flag on ancient Hindu sites makes no more sense than putting any refference to India or Indian tags in Pakistan's history page.I too question the diversity of wikipedian adminitrators. Nadirali 21:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali

Hi Ganesh, I think you were asked something like this before. I see 10 unassessed Top Importance articles. How do I access them? Shouldnt the number 10 be wikilinked or something? — Lost (talk) 12:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganesh, Kingboy has added support for the India project. I did a small trial run last night. Seems to run fine, but he's added some features. Will ask on the plugin talk page. Also can you do a run as soon as you are back from the break and give feedback — Lost (talk) 07:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I need a bit of help from you regarding Carnatic music. There are a couple of editors User:Srkris and User:Sarvagnya who seem to be dead against a paragraph in this article. The paragraph is exactly seven sentences long and almost every sentence is cited, some of them from multiple sources. This paragraph is infact has the highest number of citation in the entire article. There is nothing controversial about the paragraph either. However these users seem to have a POV against this paragraph. I haven't received any vaild reasons for the deletion apart from vaguely labelling them 'fake', 'rubbish', 'half truth', 'impretinent', etc. I'm tired of this. BTW Srkris got blocked for a week for his violations of policy. I haven't heard any explanations from the other users as yet. Can you please help dealing with these users? thanks Parthi talk/ contribs 06:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Dear Ganeshk,
There is a fierce discussion going on in the India page with Fowler&fowler trying to impose eurocentric views on words such as "Colony" and removing "Formation" info from the India Infobox. I request you to put in your comments supporting the removal of the sentence "Colonised as ..." and reframing it to "India emerged as a...expelled the non-natives...single nation-state". I also request your support for the Formation info in the infobox. Additionally I also request your support that references need not be necessary all the time (as all references contain eurocentric terms).
An Indic page should contain non-nationalistic Indic views only, and not eurocentric views.
Regards, Himalayanashoka 07:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I think there is confusion on how to go about starting a bot (eg here and here) and there is no wikipage covering this, the main bot page talks only about policy, not avenues for getting started, how to make a bot etc. I have made a suggestion that a howto page be established and, as a frequent editor helping out with bots, I would appreciate your comments. Many Thanks - PocklingtonDan 07:51, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the downtime. References converter is now back up and running. About a week ago the hard drive in my server crashed. Luckily it stayed together long enough to allow me to pull all the data off onto a new hard drive, but I still had to go through the process of installing Linux on the new hard drive, installing all the necessary programs, and loading in all of the old data from the server. I got all of my essential services up within two days (CVS, Apache, Wiki), but I kind of forgot about web scripts, which I finally got around to fixing today. Everything should be fully functional again. If you see any bugs, just send me a message. You are receiving this message because you are on the spamlist.

Hey, Ganesh, I was the admin who processed your request for semi-protection for IIPM. Another user cannot edit the page and asked me if I could unprotect the page. He also says he was the one who originally asked for semi-protection, and I just wanted to run this by you. Do you think I should unprotect for 3 days so the user will be allowed to edit, or should I just tell him to wait until the 26th and then he will be allowed to freely edit the page? Thanks for your insight. By the way, the whole conversation at my talk page. See User talk:Nishkid64#IIPM Edit Protect. Nishkid 64 18:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
This is ridiculous. Adding the India banner to thousands of talk pages, by bot, is nationalistic aggression. Please stop. Zora 00:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Ganesh ji The IIPM Controversy section is clearly not in line with Wikipedia:Verfiability and Wikipedia: NPOV. Please can you suggest to me how we can improve this>? Iipmstudent9 05:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Ganesh for the message to Nishkid. You perhaps conveniently forget that I was the one reverting back to "your" versions (that is Deepak Shenoy's versions) when the vandals starting attacking. I have also read the issue of your personal award to Deepak Shenoy and your personal affiliations with supporting the IIPM Controversy section. You might not at all appreciate my statements to you on this, but I quote from the person whom you gave the barnstar award for adhering to NPOV and for keeping the IIPM controversy alive. When I told Deepak Shenoy that people should not be reverting illogically, guess what he told me... The following is quoted from the trancripts of Deepak Shenoy's discussions with me when he attempted to steamroll me into consenting throwing off your admin powers to me:
Ganesh, if you are an administrator, who is also editing pages at IIPM, I do not believe that you should allow users like Deepak Shenoy to show off his personal closeness to you and to literally frighten other editors into acceptance. Kindly give the correct view to Nishkid. I'll be highly grateful if you also advise me on whether I'm wrong in assuming what I have assumed. Regards, Mrinal Mrinal Pandey 12:11, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm copying part of my message to you that I've left at the IIPM talk page. This is just for your information.
Dear HighBc, I noticed you had commented recently on a wiki site of IIPM. I wished to find out from you how to complain against a wiki administrator who, I have reasons and proof to believe, is misusing his powers to support one particular editor. If you can kindly show me the appropriate forum, I'll lodge a complaint against the administrator. I searched wiki and have not been able to find a link for the same. You could perhaps also go to the discussions page on the IIPM site to see my viewpoints regarding this. Regards, Mrinal Mrinal Pandey 12:27, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ganesh, I had created a new subsection on ANI to bring some clarity on the topic at hand. But the discussion again turned to history of Pakistan and India without any inputs on the actual topic. How do you suggest we move ahead on this? Should we take it up on another forum? — Lost (talk) 08:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I read over TN article yesterday, and it was of fair quality. But recent changes by User:Asprakash in my opinion has decreased the quality. He/she has removed entire section about education and put up a meaningless list.
Previously the article was slighly pro Tamil nationlistic, but recent changes are just some agenda driven. The agenda seems to be some pan Indian identity. Why is a subject heading such as Racial concepts is necessary in an article about Tamil Nadu? Also, bombarding the reader with economic statistics is simply not good writing? I can go on.
I am not familiar with all those involved in editing this article, thus I do not want to make any bold changes or get into a cat fight. Please, take note and revert to an acceptable condition. I would say the last time I edited (minor changes ex: tamil -> Tamil), the article was in fair condition. There has been some other edits as well.
Thanks. -- Natkeeran 16:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I've cleaned it already as best as I could, including references and stuff, but these things always need expansion. I'll be keeping a heads-up in the media also for reliable info to go in this article. Hope you're well. Ekantik talk 04:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Ganesh, Sorry for taking your time. Anonymous users are bringing back POV information again.

Hi Ganesh, after the discussion on ANI died down, I approached Zora on her page. See this and this.

Hi, I am writing about the user, Himalayanashoka, who was blocked for 48 hours last night for a 3RR violation. This user has a long history of vandalism and sockpuppetry on the India page. Well, this morning I noticed that 3 new users had appeared who seemed to be making the same kind of edits and writing in the same quaint style. These are: HomzUmrigar , Shyamasundara Vetrivel and MazharUbaid. Two of these user pages were created this morning and the third on December 30 (perhaps in anticipation of the battle). They are all making the kind of bold edits that beginners seldom make. Thought I'd let you know. I have also written to admin William Connolly who blocked him last night. Don't know what to do with this guy (these guys?). Perhaps it is time to protect the India page. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 16:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ganeshk,
Introducing myself. Though I am a silent reader and look forward to clean up grammatic mistakes in interesting pages because of my journalistic background. Was 'naturally' going through the India page (no contribution as yet) and saw the various versions (I hope I am right in the using the word version). The lead written by Chanakyathegreat, NobleEagle, IndianStar was really good, accurate and presented a very balanced view about the country. However, it has been reverted by you to an older version which from my point of view does not give a true picture about India.
Since you are a senior member here, would request you to look into it and sort it out so that the page reads better.

You can also vote for next's week collaboration at the project page: Wikipedia:Hinduism-related Collaboration of the week. Unfortunately, the Collaboration site is little known, that's why the reminder. -- Bondego 14:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
W.r.t discussions regarding adding images to Indian article, Discussions in Talk:India and Talk pages of mine and Chanakya shows that people favour adding those images. I will improve demography image further based on feedback from people so that it won't clutter with article contents.(I will resubmit in Talk pages after improvement).I will add other images to the articles. Is there any additional suggestions from your end?-- Indianstar 15:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
ta:Wikipedia:தரமறிதல் முறைமையும் தரங்களும் Please, create the templates etc in Eng, and I will later translate it. Including the stats process... One system is sufficient. We do not need to localize the assessment. Thanks. -- Natkeeran 17:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I'm Ral315, editor-in-chief of the Wikipedia Signpost. It appears that you have not edited in at least three weeks. To avoid spamming your talk page any further, should you be on leave, your name has been removed from the Signpost spamlist. If you wish to continue receiving the spamlist, please leave a note on my talk page to that effect, and I will restore your name, and keep you on the list indefinitely.

Thanks for uploading Image:Westbengal 20060404.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
