Hi! I am currently working with articles on former CMs of Madras/ Tamil Nadu. I don't know the expansion of P and T in P. T. Rajan. I just wanna ask if you know, so that I could add his complete name in P. T. Rajan article. :-)- Ravichandar My coffee shop 03:56, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
First of all kudos on doing a wonderful job :-). But I guess you've got to expand the article a bit more. Another 1 KB or so. 7,332 * 5 = 36,660 bytes.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 17:00, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi buddy, I am planning to nominate M. Bhaktavatsalam for a DYK. I want to improve the verifiability of this article by adding more refs. However, I am not able to find much sources on the web. It would be grt if you could help me add refs. It would also be grt if we could expand his initials. What does "M" stand for?- Ravichandar My coffee shop 10:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! How were your new year celebrations? :-) I just observed that you've edited the article on Ellis R. Dungan. I wish to bring to ur notice one surprising fact I stumbled upon a few months back. M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar fansite claims that MKT was offered a knighthood by the then Governor of Madras, Arthur Oswald James Hope in return for the humanitarian aid he provided to injured British soldiers during the Second World War. However, the site claims, MKT rejected the knighthood. If this was indeed true, then MKT would have been the only Indian film actor to be offered a knighthood by the British government. However, I am looking for more neutral, more reliable sources with regard to this. Bye for now. tc- Ravichandar My coffee shop 05:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I've been working with P. Subbarayan today and the article is largely over. I feel that the coverage of his later life is not enough and that we need some more, if possible, some reforms he introduced as a minister in the Rajaji and O. P. Ramaswamy Reddiyar governments or as Union Minister. As for his early life, I have a lot of sources and I guess it is largely over. P. Munuswamy Naidu, too, is pretty much over, and so is P. T. Rajan. On completion of P. Subbarayan, we may very well move onto Raja of Bobbili.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 14:16, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I just had a look. The article looks good enough for atleast a B-gradng. But there are a couple of minor issues, which I feel, could be fixed:
Apart from thes eminor issues, the article is fine. The article would unquestionably satisfy all the requirements for a "B" grading if these areas are looked into. Anyway, the grade next to "B" is start-class and the article being far far better for a start-class article is closer to being a "B" than a "Start" class article. So, I am assessing it as a "B". Kudos for the good work! The article is well-written with good, reliable references and adequate inline citations.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 10:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi! One of my DYK noms appeared on the Main page yesterday. This was the nom:
... that Indian historian V. R. Ramachandra Dikshitar believed that ancient South Indians may have known of Australia and Polynesia before their discovery by Europeans?
Well, well, while scholarly treatises and books on the history of Australia analyze the chances of Zheng He, Macassars having visited Australia, etc., none of them even consider the possibility of the Cholas having visited Australia or New Zealand. This is something which definitely needs to be investigated. And this statement by a respected Indian historian in a 1947-book was a pleasant discovery for me. This, definitely, needs thorough investigation. There also appear to be linguistic similarities between Tamils and Polynesians. Well, have you realized how similar taboo appears to the Tamil word "tappu" which has the same meaning. Yeah, I agree that we use the word "tappu" only in casual talk and not in classical usage but still the possibility of intercourse between ancient Tamil people and Pacific islanders could not be ruled out. I guess Polynesia and Australia might be of the same distance from South India as Philippines or atleast China. And it is well know that Chola embassies visited Japan and CHina. So, why is it not possible that traders could have visited Australia.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 04:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much :-). Have a look at this. And Arya Gowder Road in West Mambalam is named after Badaga leader Ari Gowder. Would be interesting to know who the Duraisamy of Duraisamy Subway, Thambiah Reddy, etc are. I'll create some more when I have time.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 19:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
As far as the episode concerning P. T. Rajan is concerned check out his article or especially this section. I've specified my references there. If you have doubts, please contact me.
Well, as far as Periyar's presidentship of the Justice Party is concerned, I found in some biographies of Periyar in tamilnation and other sites that he was made President of the Justice Party during the anti-Hindi agitations of 1938. I do not remember the names of those sites. I guess the fact is referenced in the biography in periyar.org website. I didn't add those references though, cause that claim, particular, was already there and I did not add it.- Ravichandar My coffee shop 02:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
