Thanks for your contributions on the UW-La Crosse page. Just out of curiosity, how do you decide which articles to work on? Do you just randomly pick one or is there a method to the madness, so to speak. -- Crosscountrycpjon ( talk) 03:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry I missed your concerns (dated Dec 17th) on the talk page. I will look into it today.thanks Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 15:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay , I will contact the user you mention. I have moved your comments to the FAC discussion and am taking care of the concerns there. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 15:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. In the section called "Architectural elements" and subsection "Mantapa" there are words suchas " bell-shaped lathe-turned pillars". Is the dash inbetween an issue? does it have to be the sort of en dashes we use for dates? Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 17:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
If you have the time, please feel free to copy edit the whole article, make changes where you feel necessary, or suggest changes. Thanks Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 19:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

An editor has nominated Legend: legacy of the dragons, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Legend: legacy of the dragons and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 20:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing the spelling issue. Your suggestions are implemented. Please point out any faults left in the article and what must be done more to improve it further to reach FA quality.-- Redtigerxyz ( talk) 10:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I am trying to push this article to GA and I was wondering if you could help me with a grammar check, my work on the article has been concentrated on content but grammar is not really my forte and there are some sections that were not done by me, with a upcoming fight very close I think its better to have a clean and stable version to revert to while the topic is hot. Thanks for your time. - Caribbean~H.Q. 15:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
[unindent] Update: I had a longish stretch of time to work on Félix Trinidad, and I think I'll stop now until and unless you're ready for me to do more work after the scheduled bout is over.
The article remains somewhat rough in spots, but there have been a number of corrections to grammar and spelling. I likely could do more, but we've probably reached the point of diminishing returns for now, especially since I have limited knowledge of boxing. I'll wait and see how the upcoming event draws in new editor input and content (I just noticed an advertisement for the upcoming bout on television yesterday, never would have noticed before working on this). I hope your road to a future GA article is a smooth one. (copied to your talk page) -- Michael Devore ( talk) 01:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks for the catching of typos on my GA nominations. It is very much appreciated. Ealdgyth | Talk 21:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Michael. I have been working on a new article, Kannada literature which needs copy edits. If you are free, please consider helping me with copy edits. Feel free to leave comments like clarification needed if any "Indian term" needs clarification. BTW, I remember there are two articles in which you pointed out spelling issues that need my attention. I will attend to it this weekend. Thanks Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 13:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Meaning, is the "the" necessary everytime.? Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 14:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[unindent] I don't think you necessarily need to take out the reference with only last names. A few individuals are of such high stature in a topic that it is understood who is being talked of, e.g. if you mention Washington's and Jeffersonian politics, you probably don't need to say George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
However, poetry isn't quite as well-known to the general reading audience and, though even I know that a lone Auden comparison in poetry must refer to W.H. Auden if there is no further qualification, I don't know poetry well enough to say that Elliot (spelled with two 'l's) really means T.S. Eliot (with one 'l'). I think the names should be wikilinked since a lot of people are not well-educated with respect to poets, myself included. I'd leave the names as-is if you could verify that 'Elliot' is really 'Eliot', and wikilink them to the full article entry via piping, e.g. Auden.
(Incidentally, I've had a lot of interruptions this weekend, and haven't had the longer hour+ stretches of free time to edit the article in as much depth as I'd like to have done, but hope that will change over the next few days.) -- Michael Devore ( talk) 20:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Found something. Of the three poems mentioned in that line on Adiga, Kattuvevu Navu (1948), Mohana Murali (1944). No mention of Samaja Bhairava, but I suspect they are close in dates which is why the source I have quoted calls them "his early poetry". Adiga was born in 1918. The new source I refered to is "Selected Poems" By M. Gopala Krishna Adiga, Sumatīndra Nādiga- ISBN 8126021616 Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Though you are right, in that, its better to place Adiga at the bottom of the Navodaya period. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I am continuing to work on the last section, 'Appreciation and Critisim'. I normally write on paper before typing it in. However, as I go along, I am adding interesting info, typically regarding number of poems written by a poet etc. In a few days time, a decision can be made what to trim out and what to keep in the article.thanks Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
And even in the modern literature section, when I said "removed", I meant "moved" to a sub-article. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
When I add # of poems to a writer, should it be in numerals or words? Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
In fact, I think even the "modern literature" section is ready. I dont plan to add any more details unless someone asks for it, and it is well cited too. The final "rounding off" section needs careful though to summarize the developments over 1500 years. So I am going slow there, but that section should be done in a few days. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Santipurana: The source does not say which work(s) of Kalidasa, Ponna borrowed from. So I have just changed the sentence a bit. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Citation: When a book overall is authored/edited by say author "a" but the chapter I am sourcing from is actually authored by "b", should the citation show "a" or "b". I took the conservative approach and did ("b" in "a" (1997), p xx). In one of my previous FA's ( Vijayanagara Empire), a reviewer changed my citation to include only the chapter author, but included the book author (the editor) ony in the reference section at the bottom. Is there a rule for this? This could possibly help reduce the article size if I can cite with only one of them. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I checked and it has been deleted twice before, though in somewhat different form. On Feb 21 (CSD G10) and, on Feb. 23, after it was moved to the deleted Larry Sinclair's Allegations, as a redirect to a deleted page (CSD R1). I just deleted it and the talk page. I will let User:WJBScribe know as s/he deleted it originally. Thanks for the heads up, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I have given the IP address a 31 hour block and added Gino Vannelli to my watch list. I think the long-term solution is Wikipedia:Abuse reports, but we need at least 5 blocks to go that route. I would add a {{ uw-bv}} warning for each vandalism that fits the pattern. I think I will also make the IP address aware of the potential for reporting this to his or her employer around block 3 or 4 of this cycle. My guess is that they have made enough edits to be identifiable by an employer and the good folk at Conoco probably would rather their employees used their internet access for more productive work. Does this sound like a plan? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 12:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

But if you have the time and the heart, can you please copy edit a new article Kannada literature in Vijayanagara empire (an expansion of a sub-article from Kannada literature) that I have been working on. It just needs an rounding off paragraph at the end and is not anywhere as large as the earlier one you did for me. If you need time, I fully understand. thanks. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 12:53, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Here i mean that Bhima Kavi gave further impetus to using that metric. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 12:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I wasn't familiar with the Canadian case, but I would think a disambiguation hatnote on both would suffice, given that citation conventions vary, and that readers looking for one of them might well be confused. Personally, I never use "v.", but will do the DAB if you like. Regards. -- Rodhullandemu ( Talk) 00:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the discussion advisory. I've added to your cleanup comments on the article's talk page. — Scheinwerfermann ( talk) 18:38, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
The capital Vijayanagara, sourrounded by natural hillocks with unusually large sized boulders everywhere was incidentally an important counter-offensive point, though I did not mean it that way. You can get rid of the mention of the capital though. I have been very busy at work as such and have not been very active in the last 3-4 days. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Michael, feel free to copy edit anytime. In fact, I was about to contact you. Go ahead and give it a vigourous cpedit. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 13:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes you are right. There were a few Vaishnava "writings" in Kannada before 14th century, but the golden age is later in 15th-16th century onwards. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 21:15, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

How about,
A gradual decline in Jain influence and writings "and OR during" the reign of the Vijayanagara empire in the 14th century saw a literary renaissance sparked by the Haridasas heralds of the Vaishnava Bhakti movement in Kannada.
The Jain influence took a dive from the 14th century onwards, with very few works of quality from 15th-16th century. The Vaishnava Bhakti movement existed in multiple languages, including in Bengali. So specifying Kannada helps. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 11:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
You wrote A decline in Jain influence and writings during the reign of the Vijayanagara empire in the 14th century was followed by a literary renaissance in the 15th century, sparked by the Haridasas heralds of the Vaishnava Bhakti movement in Kannada..

Thank you for correcting the Michael typo. Any reason why you changed heroes to Heroes?

Hi. While the debates are on in the Kannada literature Rfc, I have been adding valuable info into the above article. The main concern user:Ruhrfish had in the PR was continuity and flow. He did not want (as far as possible) paragraphs that looked like: poet a wrote x, poet b wrote Y etc. He wanted to see a flow in the content. This is what I have been trying to achieve and have added some interesting info. This will go on for a few more weeks as I bring out context based continuity to each section. Feel free, if you have time to tweak/cpedit a I go along. The rfc on Kannada literature wont/cant go on for ever. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 14:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

And no, I'm not being sarcastic!
I'm working hard to try to make this GA - I dream of FA.
I see you've got a 'copy-editor' barnstar, so you're just the sort of person I'd love to read the article. I was planning on asking for help from WP:LoCE later - perhaps after I've tried to improve the 'history' section. I'm researching more facts; I'd like it to be more narrative in style, and basically more interesting. Work in progress.
I would very much appreciate any further edits, suggestions, etc that you could make.

Hi, I'm trying to contact wiki editors who'd like to help with a Wiki project for North Minneapolis. It is only in it's beginning stages and could use the help of veteran wiki editors to get it going.
The reason for the project is to help connect people to the pleathora of resources and history that exist in North Minneapolis. The potential for this site to be used by non-profits, librarians, teachers and others to help connect neighbors to community resources could be huge. It would also be a way to document the positive stories and efforts in North Minneapolis,
I've chosen to build the site at [3] primarily because wikispaces has the only easy to use visual editor for a wiki site that I could find.
If you have any thoughts or input on the project feel free to contact me. [4] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariahfine ( talk • contribs) 05:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

The article remains somewhat rough in spots, but there have been a number of corrections to grammar and spelling. I likely could do more, but we've probably reached the point of diminishing returns for now, especially since I have limited knowledge of boxing. I'll wait and see how the upcoming event draws in new editor input and content (I just noticed an advertisement for the upcoming bout on television yesterday, never would have noticed before working on this).

Meaning, is the "the" necessary everytime.? Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 14:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[unindent] I don't think you necessarily need to take out the reference with only last names. A few individuals are of such high stature in a topic that it is understood who is being talked of, e.g. if you mention Washington's and Jeffersonian politics, you probably don't need to say George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
However, poetry isn't quite as well-known to the general reading audience and, though even I know that a lone Auden comparison in poetry must refer to W.H. Auden if there is no further qualification, I don't know poetry well enough to say that Elliot (spelled with two 'l's) really means T.S. Eliot (with one 'l'). I think the names should be wikilinked since a lot of people are not well-educated with respect to poets, myself included. I'd leave the names as-is if you could verify that 'Elliot' is really 'Eliot', and wikilink them to the full article entry via piping, e.g. Auden.
(Incidentally, I've had a lot of interruptions this weekend, and haven't had the longer hour+ stretches of free time to edit the article in as much depth as I'd like to have done, but hope that will change over the next few days.) -- Michael Devore ( talk) 20:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Found something. Of the three poems mentioned in that line on Adiga, Kattuvevu Navu (1948), Mohana Murali (1944). No mention of Samaja Bhairava, but I suspect they are close in dates which is why the source I have quoted calls them "his early poetry". Adiga was born in 1918. The new source I refered to is "Selected Poems" By M. Gopala Krishna Adiga, Sumatīndra Nādiga- ISBN 8126021616 Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Though you are right, in that, its better to place Adiga at the bottom of the Navodaya period. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I am continuing to work on the last section, 'Appreciation and Critisim'. I normally write on paper before typing it in. However, as I go along, I am adding interesting info, typically regarding number of poems written by a poet etc. In a few days time, a decision can be made what to trim out and what to keep in the article.thanks Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
And even in the modern literature section, when I said "removed", I meant "moved" to a sub-article. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
When I add # of poems to a writer, should it be in numerals or words? Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
In fact, I think even the "modern literature" section is ready. I dont plan to add any more details unless someone asks for it, and it is well cited too. The final "rounding off" section needs careful though to summarize the developments over 1500 years. So I am going slow there, but that section should be done in a few days.

Santipurana: The source does not say which work(s) of Kalidasa, Ponna borrowed from. So I have just changed the sentence a bit. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 02:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Citation: When a book overall is authored/edited by say author "a" but the chapter I am sourcing from is actually authored by "b", should the citation show "a" or "b". I took the conservative approach and did ("b" in "a" (1997), p xx). In one of my previous FA's ( Vijayanagara Empire), a reviewer changed my citation to include only the chapter author, but included the book author (the editor) ony in the reference section at the bottom. Is there a rule for this? This could possibly help reduce the article size if I can cite with only one of them. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 03:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I have given the IP address a 31 hour block and added Gino Vannelli to my watch list. I think the long-term solution is Wikipedia:Abuse reports, but we need at least 5 blocks to go that route. I would add a {{ uw-bv}} warning for each vandalism that fits the pattern. I think I will also make the IP address aware of the potential for reporting this to his or her employer around block 3 or 4 of this cycle. My guess is that they have made enough edits to be identifiable by an employer and the good folk at Conoco probably would rather their employees used their internet access for more productive work.

How about,
A gradual decline in Jain influence and writings "and OR during" the reign of the Vijayanagara empire in the 14th century saw a literary renaissance sparked by the Haridasas heralds of the Vaishnava Bhakti movement in Kannada.
The Jain influence took a dive from the 14th century onwards, with very few works of quality from 15th-16th century. The Vaishnava Bhakti movement existed in multiple languages, including in Bengali. So specifying Kannada helps. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 11:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting the Michael typo. Any reason why you changed heroes to Heroes? Normal cataloguing rule is that every word is in lowercase except the first letter of the first word and proper names. Is there a different rule for Wikipedia? Anthony Staunton ( talk) 09:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC) Apologies. I now realise I wrote Michale Aschcroft instead of Michael Ashcroft. Thanks for correcting the spelling of Ashcroft. Someone else corrected the spelling of Michael and changed heroes to Heroes. Anthony Staunton ( talk) 12:59, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

There are many people who come to wikipedia with the excitement of editing an article and bringing it to GA or FA. But it is very rare and wonderful to have people like you who do the work of making them flawless. I wanted to thank you for your valueable edits. Wikipedia will always cherish your work.

Hi. While the debates are on in the Kannada literature Rfc, I have been adding valuable info into the above article. The main concern user:Ruhrfish had in the PR was continuity and flow. He did not want (as far as possible) paragraphs that looked like: poet a wrote x, poet b wrote Y etc. He wanted to see a flow in the content. This is what I have been trying to achieve and have added some interesting info. This will go on for a few more weeks as I bring out context based continuity to each section. Feel free, if you have time to tweak/cpedit a I go along. The rfc on Kannada literature wont/cant go on for ever. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 14:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Also, does every date (such as 1510) need to be preceeded by "c." to make it c. 1510? Right now we have a mixture of c. xxxx and xxxx. Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 13:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing my horrifying typo in Helena, Alabama. That's what I get for clicking "change" in MS Word Spell Check without reading VERY carefully after drafting an article! Thanks again! Civilengtiger ( talk) 13:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm of the camp that thinks that Added By should be replaced with PS2 game serial numbers. There's already a discussion on the article's talk page, if you agree perhaps you could chime in and possibly get someone who knows more about the article than I to make the change. -- AeronPrometheus ( talk) 22:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for correcting that "its" in the Eastwood, Nottinghamshire article.
And no, I'm not being sarcastic!
I'm working hard to try to make this GA - I dream of FA.
I see you've got a 'copy-editor' barnstar, so you're just the sort of person I'd love to read the article. I was planning on asking for help from WP:LoCE later - perhaps after I've tried to improve the 'history' section. I'm researching more facts; I'd like it to be more narrative in style, and basically more interesting. Work in progress.
I would very much appreciate any further edits, suggestions, etc that you could make.
Cheers! -- Chzz ► 21:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for helping out, anything you canadd that is of use is much appreciated! I've been trying to get this article much expanded. I'm the one who added most of the stuff, other people have just come in and continuously improved my edits. So thanks for the help and keep up the good work! Gamloverks ( talk) 14:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Please copy edit these important sub-articles if and when you have time. I had expanded the first three long back and have done some copy edits recently. The others are recently created: Chennakesava Temple, Hoysaleswara Temple, Chennakesava Temple at Somanathapura, Mahadeva Temple (Itagi), Doddabasappa Temple. I will probably add one or two more to this list soon after I create them. thanks as always Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 00:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent copy edits on the article Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris (film). Your input is greatly appreciated. Ecoleetage ( talk) 12:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I have recently embarked on an attempt to improve some early FA's of mine. I have significantly increased the number of citations in Hoysala Empire and Western Chalukya Empire, without changing the citation format (page number designation etc). I am currently improving Chalukya dynasty, my first FA, which needed a lot of minor work and will take a week. When you have time over the coming weeks, please do read through these three articles and the inline notes and copy edit its English and grammar.thanks Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 11:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I recently noticed that you have set a redirect from page Perambra to page Perambra -Thrissur. This is a big mistake. In fact, the thread started by Manoj is on Perambra, which is one of the 141 constituencies in Kerala, a major town in Kozhikode district, where as Perambra-Thrissur is a small village in Thrissur district.

Hi, I'm trying to contact wiki editors who'd like to help with a Wiki project for North Minneapolis. It is only in it's beginning stages and could use the help of veteran wiki editors to get it going.
The reason for the project is to help connect people to the pleathora of resources and history that exist in North Minneapolis. The potential for this site to be used by non-profits, librarians, teachers and others to help connect neighbors to community resources could be huge. It would also be a way to document the positive stories and efforts in North Minneapolis,
I've chosen to build the site at [3] primarily because wikispaces has the only easy to use visual editor for a wiki site that I could find.
If you have any thoughts or input on the project feel free to contact me. [4] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ariahfine ( talk • contribs) 05:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for catching the typos in Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV serial).

Hi Michael. I saw that abusive remark by a known vandal who has been blocked many times and left wiki, but comes back with his abusive language now and then. Just revert his edits as they are not worthy of wiki. He also has no reliable sources to back his edits to Karnataka related articles, just his own spite. thanks.

Michael, what is your opinion on the usage of these two words. I have normally used "God" and "King" in all FA's and has well accepted. This issue has come up in the PR of "Literature in the Hoysala Empire". What does wiki rule book say? Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 00:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
