Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar. I've been to Mysore twice, (i have relatives there). How about working to make Mysore a FA? I'll assist you if you're willing. Nichalp 19:05, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

No problems, meanwhile I'll try and push in some more FA's :) in the space of a month. Nichalp 19:21, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting the Kalimpong page. I've listed it as a Featured Article Candidate. You may want to vote... :)  =Nichalp (talk · contribs)= 20:14, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

thanks for the barnstar :) Where in Mysore do you live? I was in Mysore for three years. How about helping out a bit with kannada wikipedia whenever possible? I've been editing en wikipedia very less these days.. which is evident by the fact that I checked the talk page today ;) --H P Nadig 01:40, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Lingam

hi Pradeep, I saw your comments on Lingam. There was an elaborate article on this at www.sulekha.com titled "Linga and Cigarette butt" or something of that sort. It was very very informative and presented Indian perspective. Thought of bringing it to your attention. Ramashray 04:49, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi, saw your note on my talk page. Options like protecting the page are used only under extr-ordinary circumstances. It is best to discuss the issue with the users in the talk page and if they don't reply there, they can be contacted in their talk pages. Even then, if they continue to act indifferently, you can request for comment. Also, noone is supposed to revert the same article more than 3 times a day. -- Sundar (talk · contributions) 05:43, May 11, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Ramshray, It is indeed a very nice article. (When the Cigar becomes a Phallus). Unfortunately, I am going to stop trying to edit the page. The next sections I was going to add were related to Shaivism and explanations of different views. But people seem to be cemented to their views on the subject and not ready to listen or read. Thus, I will only be adding to the mess --IMpbt 16:10, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Back

Hi. Thanks for your wishes. My reports are now clear and so won't have to take those horrible medicines. Regards,  =Nichalp (talk · contribs)= 06:08, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

India geo

Lets try and make teh geography of India a FA by Sunday. I'll take the lead; I'll add text and new right now if you don't mind. I'll keep you posted. Regards,  =Nichalp (Talk)= 18:01, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

You can copyedit the sections I've completed till now. If possible please fill in the red links. Would like some information of the extreme temperatures if possible. Regards,  =Nichalp (Talk)= 09:26, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

Geography page

I've added most of the content on the page. One section is still incomplete. Feel free to add stuff to the page and give it a copyedit.  =Nichalp (Talk)= 15:25, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

Hi,

thanks very much for awarding me a barnstar! Sorry, I had been inactive on Wiki for almost two months now, and only noticed it today.

Geography is now done

Geography of India is completed; you may want to copyedit the page. Regards,  =Nichalp (Talk)= 12:49, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

I didn't quite catch what you were saying on the rivers of India writeup. Previously it was just a list wasn't it?  =Nichalp (Talk)= 15:30, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

I have no probs if it can be classifed in a better way as long as it isn't a list of rivers. Just make sure that the watershed paragraph remains.  =Nichalp (Talk)= 19:17, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

Edit conflict

That explains the duplicate text. I'm done with editing the page for now; please go ahead.  =Nichalp (Talk)= 19:56, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Edit conflict

That explains the duplicate text. I'm done with editing the page for now; please go ahead. U can use the {{inuse}} template too.  =Nichalp (Talk)= 19:56, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Geography of India

As co-author you may want to vote for the article in FAC. Regards,  =Nichalp (Talk)= 08:18, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Straw poll

There is a straw proposal here on my recent rule change: See [1]. Please have a look.  =Nichalp (Talk)= 15:26, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Flag of India

The Flag of India is this week's collaboration. Lets all try and make it up to FA status. =Nichalp «Talk»= 12:55, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

infobox

Yeah, I was editing. I know the colours for mysore are yucky! See Gangtok. Please don't edit the infoboxes as of now, I'll clean up the mess and keep you informed. Feedback on Gangtok needed. =Nichalp «Talk»= July 3, 2005 12:19 (UTC)

I'm trying to have a colour coded infobox. One colour for states, one for UTs, one for state capital cities, for other cities and finally for districts. =Nichalp «Talk»= July 3, 2005 12:40 (UTC)

Ok, you suggest the colours. see also Surrey. Background images would strain the server. I like the colours BTW. You could also look at wikipedia:infobox for colours already taken. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= July 9, 2005 04:49 (UTC)

Mysore division

Here's a nice map I made.

=Nichalp «Talk»= July 6, 2005 10:31 (UTC)

Looks pretty good. Can you highlight the city ?. I think the division includes other districts (this shows only the mysore district if I recollect correctly.

Colours

Thanks for your message. I didn't spot the message since it was tucked way in an older post. Green is used in the districts: Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian districts. Saffron would be too bright to use. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:26, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

I personally think the colours look good, and goes well with the grey. However if you want to change it just put up the suggested colours on the template's talk and let me know. PS. Please sign your comments so I don't have to check the page history :). =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:15, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Royal titles

Hi. Sorry for the late response. Personally I would like to leave out the longish and non-unique titles like HRH etc However if someone living or dead is well-known with a particular title, we should use that eg the Nawab of Pataudi, Nawab of Arcot etc. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 03:38, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Sure. Go ahead and start a poll. I'llbe online onMonday. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 15:31, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Inactive

Just noticed you moved yoursel to inactive. Will you be gone for long? =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:17, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

I am back part time as of now, hopefully will contribute more.

Speedy deletion nomination of CARTOSAT

A tag has been placed on CARTOSAT, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

because the page earlier redirected to Cartosat-1 which is nothing but the 1st satellite of the CARTOSAT Program. It also includes other satellites like Cartosat-2 and Cartosat-3

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
