Hi Shivanayak, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! -- Spangineer (háblame) 10:54, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, nice pics. The one before the linked image is a male Purple-rumped Sunbird. The one on the linked page looks like a male Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker, a relative of the sunbirds. Have i missed any images? jimfbleak
I've not seen that image before. The flowerpecker is the one with dark grey upperparts, white throat aand yellow breast. The sunbird has the purple chin, yellow belly, brown back with a patch of green on the bend of the wing. I'll try to ID the image you put on my page, but it may be tomorrow. jimfbleak 15:44, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I see what you mean!. The image on your site looks much darker-backed and paler-throated than the website image, but that could be a trick of the light, and the gape and tail aren't visible. Having seen both images, I would be happy with yours as a female purple-rumped. Jim
It's a good picture so I wanted to help. I cropped it, auto-leveled it, blurred the background and sharpened the praying mantis. -- brian0918 ™ 03:32, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I don't think Wikipedia accepts non-commercial-only images. --

Since the districts have changed, could you point me to a new map of Karnataka available online. Don't worry about the copyrights, I need an image for reference. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:15, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
See: Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian districts. I'll be making the district map. I want to make the district map common to all states. Colours, palatte etc. I can make you two maps. 1) The numbered district map like the map of the states of India, and another of the towns. Of with you? =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:51, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Shivanayak,
My name is Fernanda Viégas and I have been studying Wikipedia for a while now (you can see a paper I published on the subject here). I would like to ask you a few questions about your activities as a Wikipedia photographer. I am fascinated by the pictorial side of Wikipedia and it would be great to hear about this community from one of its members. Would you be available for an email interview?

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Priniahodgsonii.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Priniahodgsonii.jpg is an image licensed as " for non-commercial use only" or " used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles ( CSD I3).
