Category:Revenue Blocks of Tamil Nadu

The above mentioned category is found to have a wrong title. If 'Ooratchi ondriyam' (ஊராட்சி ஒன்றியம்) is translated to Tamil as revenue blocks then it's going to be an error. District -> Taluks -> Revenue Villages forms the hierarchy in revenue administration. But Blocks (Developmental blocks or unions) are the panchayat units in taluk level but no way related to revenue administration, they are local bodies functioning from a different ministry. And there are lot categories and pages with this term. Pl. clarify as you've contributed in this regard. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 16:30, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

My opinion in this regard might not be so essential. Nor am I interested in participating in the discussion.-Ravi_{My Tea Kadai} 16:43, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you --BabuOnWiki (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Trichy

Ravi, nice work with the article once again. I had a strong desire to write more about the culture, temples and architecture of the city. Nice to see these kinda stuff being expanded by you! —Commander _{(Ping me)} 14:32, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Offline Wikipedia

Hi, the Offline Wikipedia project has been formally announced on Wikimedia-I list, wikipedia-in-eng list and on the India-noticboard which you may like to read. The first mission - selection of topics for six subjects has begun. Please consider joining one of the teams. AshLin (talk) 15:47, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!

Heh, if I do ever become famous though it would be as a jazz fusion/blues rock guitarist!! Sometime maybe I should move to London and start finding a band.. Sure as hell isn't anybody good in my area!! Funny though how I receive such awards at times when I'm feeling less enthusiastic about wikipedia and its readability.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:22, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that he died. See Vidya (film) and this. We can now upload images of any films pre 1951!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:58, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Hema Malini

Just wanted to ask, why did you remove the category [[Category:People from Tiruchirappalli]]. I am not sure about her birth place. Some sources say it as Ammankudi near Kumbakonam while others say that she hails from Srirangam or is there another village of the same name in Trichy Dist. —Commander _{(Ping me)} 05:25, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Mangalore

Hi Ravi, would you please fix the first link in the article? It is dead, and i have been unable to do so. Thanks. Joyson Prabhu ^{Holla at me!} 18:29, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh damn! I apologize for my error. I meant citation 2. Please fix that. Thanks for helping. I will give my thoughts on the article later today. Joyson Prabhu ^{Holla at me!} 08:37, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

The article is almost ready for FA. There might be some over-linking issues here and there, but a nice copy-edit should take care of it. Also i'm not sure if this is necessary, but perhaps it might be necessary to provide translations of the newspapers and journals in brackets at the media section. Regards, Joyson Prabhu ^{Holla at me!} 18:03, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Your welcome! Kindly refer this post. I hope it helps. Joyson Prabhu ^{Holla at me!} 04:54, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
