Abdul Kalam
Hello all, How about collaborating on Dr. Abdul Kalam page for Featured article of the day on July 25, 2007. July 25, 2007 will be the Last of Dr. Abdul Kalam as the president of India. --Phoe6 14:53, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 15:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Good Resource
I recently came across http://tnmaps.tn.nic.in. It lists all the towns and many villages in Tamilnadu and puts them into category (Panchayat Village, Taluk, Block etc.). Would be good for editors to take this information on board whilst editing or creating articles about places in Tamilnadu. Petkows 12:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)petkows

Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 20:38, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
A More Broader WikiProject on Tamil heritage
Hello everybody,
I would like to bring to your attention a suggestion to create a WikiProject Tamil Heritage. WikiProject Tamil Heritage will cover everything from language, literature, dance, martial arts, history, and more. I see that there are a couple other Tamil WikiProjects started. Perhaps we can have them under WikiProject Tamil Heritage? WikiProject Tamil Heritage will also cover on Tamils in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and elsewhere. Please let me know what you all think. Thank you and Happy New Year.

TN government works released into PD?
Does anybody know wether the Tamil Nadu government releases its works (documents, stats, graphs etc.) into Public Domain?--Vaishu2 05:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Userbox
As no userbox has been listed for members of WikiProject Tamil Nadu, I constructed one. I know it looks amateur-ish, so anybody who can improve it, please do so. The syntax is {{User WikiProject Tamil Nadu}}. By the way, is anybody here??--Vaishu2 12:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

User:Bakasuprman's ethnic slur on people of Tamil Nadu
See User:Bakasuprman's insulting remark on User:Rama's Arrow's talk page against people of Tamil Nadu. [1]. "It made more sense than you trying to teach the buffalo back in Tamil Nadu to read the Bhagavad Gita." He compares people of Tamil Nadu with buffalo apparently for their dark skin. We shouldn't allow such racial taunts inside Wikipedia.

Articles to expand
I posted this message at the Classical Tamil page, just looking for broader coverage here:
I've started a few articles relating to Sangam age history and am trying to see if more content can be added to them to make them reviewable. Not to mention the lead section and the general narration that need lot more work. Please edit these articles, as you see fit:
- Economy of Ancient Tamil Country
- Agriculture in Ancient Tamil Country
- Ancient Tamil Religion
- Early Pandyan Society
- Early Pandyan Government
- Early Pandyan Kingdom
With more content, each article above can stand on its own (for ex: the religion article needs more write up on Buddhism, Jainism and Animism). Once we have some more articles on Arts, Geography and Politics of this period, they can also rolled up into Ancient Tamil country.
The Pandyan articles most probably are generic enough to be called "Ancient Tamil...." but I sourced them from Pandyan-related books so I titled them that way. Lotlil 14:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I have listed the article Economy of Ancient Tamil Country for peer-review. Lotlil 04:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. Can someone from the Tamil Nadu perform the merge between the very short stub Pazhaiyaarai and the not-so-short-but-barely-coherent Pazhayarai?

Railway Time / Madrass Time
Hi all. I am currently preparing an article on Railway Time. This is a generic piece covering the background history to RT, the introduction of RT in different countires including India, the implications of RT on society and culture. I have identified that there is an existing page called Railway time which is blank and has a redirect on it to Madras Time. I would therefore like to remove the redirect, upload this article to the Railway time page and add links from it to amongst others, the Madras Time page. I am therefore coming to the Tamil Nadu Group to gain your comment on this. Please could someone from the Group let me know that there are no issues in me doing this. I am not I should add an expert on Railways or Time but have an interest in Local History and Science and have long been intrigued by the story of railway time. I have done some reading/ research and feel its a story worth recording. So I would very much welcome input on the page from TN project members about railway time in India and others on the at present incomplete 'article in progress' of course once loaded. Thanks Tmol42 (talk) 18:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Dravidian parties
Hey chaps! I am a bit confused on the way Dravidian parties to be spelt in Tamil. I have put it as திராவிடக்கட்சிகள் but should it be திராவிடக் கட்சிகள் as two separate words? Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 04:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- good work Wiki San Roze , as far as i know Tamil திராவிடக்கட்சிகள் is the right way if spel't as a single word but if you wish to split it then it must become திராவிட கட்சிகள் , that க் must not be present if the word isn't spel't in single ( if my Tamil isn't good i really feel sorry for the same , you are very well welcome to comment on it ) . --@ the $un$hine .

The list of rules are in AlexNewArtBot/TamilNadu, there is also the log on the AlexNewArtBot/TamilNaduLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log).

There is currently a dispute on the talk page of the article in question relating to whether the falls are in part within the boundaries of the state of Karnataka, as well as in the state of Tamil Nadu. Any party who would be able to present clear evidence that Karnataka has made some sort of territorial claim on the area of the falls themselves is more than welcome to indicate as much, as the luck of such clear, reliable, verifiable, information is the nexus of the current discussion there.

WP:INDIA Tagging with TinucherianBot
TinucherianBot can automatically tag articles with {{WP India}} Banner as {{WP India|class=|importance=}} to the talk page of articles without the project banner. It can also add the workgroup paramaters like "|tamilnadu=yes|tamilnadu-importance=" etc ,if needed. The currently supported workgroups are Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Bengal, Goa, Himachal Pradesh , Karnataka , Punjab,cities, Cinema, Literature, Protected Areas of India, History, Politics states, Geography,Maps,Districts and Tamil.
If you need so, you need to provide me with the Categories to run the Bot. Due to some technical issues, the Bot will not run recursively to sub-categories. The requester should kindly verify that there are NO non-related articles in the category.
You may request for the bot run on my talk page... Thanks -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 06:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hi project members, can you go thorough the following categories of this project ( collected from Category:Tamil Nadu )and identify the categories which I need to run the bot ? Please make sure there are no non-related project articles in that category . Please mark Y/N with your signature. Thanks in advance -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 09:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- I had overridden some of scope decisions below and need to explain. I marked everything "tamil" as not-in-scope, since tamil can mean tamils living in many parts of the world. I have also marked religion based cats as not-in-scope. Please let me know if any of you feel otherwise. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 02:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- You can find the final list of categories on this page Wikipedia:WikiProject Tamil Nadu/AutoTagging . Should you need to add more categories to the list in future, please discuss at this project talk page and add them to the above page upon agreement by the project members.

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
- The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
- The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
- A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Tamil Nadu
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:42, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

You may have noticed from my Userpage that I have concentrated my Wikipedia editing on Protected Areas of Tamil Nadu. I have generally avoided Tamil Nadu, but have just started Tamil Nadu#Environmentalism.
- I have recently developed comprehensive Lists of Environmental Organizations and Resource Persons in Tamil Nadu which other editors objected to as a stand alone article. Please see: User_talk:Singularity42#Tamil_Nadu.23Environmentalism and Talk:Environment_of_India.
- Some have suggested that it be merged with Environment_of_India#Tamil_Nadu, but I think it would be best added to Tamil_Nadu#Environmentalism.
I want help from the regular editors here on this, especially the best way to fit the sortable tables into Tamil_Nadu#Environmentalism. What do you think? Marcus334 (talk) 18:28, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Removing subcategories for FA
I have removed several subcategories per Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian states and the WP:FA examples of Karnataka and West Bengal. I have made some grammatical edits and switched and added some images but not removed any content. However, content of History, Culture and Economy needs to be drastically reduced to be seriously considered for FA. WikiProject Indian states recommends that sections should not exceed 4 paragraphs. Previous editors of this article would be best to do this mega-editing. Marcus334 (talk) 18:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Bot which automatically updates unreferenced biography of living persons daily
Hello wikiproject, I requested a bot which will update unreferenced living people (BLPs) daily. User talk:Betacommand is willing to create this bot. Since you already have a /Unreferenced BLPs page, this shows your project really cares about this issue.

Article for inclusion under Wiki Project Tamil Nadu
Dear Wikipedians,
Pls consider including My article for inclusion under WikiProject Tamil Nadu. This article is all about our Govt of Tamilnadu's Subsidy company TamilNadu Newsprint and Papers (TNPL), a company which is world wide known for paper manufacturing using only Bagasse as raw material. The article has been rated as B-Class Article & i'm working everyday to make as an A-Class Article. Raj6644 (talk) 13:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Articles need some expert attention
There are two articles floating about: one named "Pugalur" and one named "TNPL Pugalur". The second article seems like it might originally have been created to discuss specifically the large paper mill run by TNPL at the village named Pugalur, but it has since morphed to discuss the village rather than the paper mill, as there is already an article about TNPL elsewhere. The first article appears to be about several different places all covered under the name "Pugalur". I have suggested a merge of the two articles, but that idea has been rejected. I don't understand the reason for the rejection, because the editors who have rejected the idea do not write in very clear English. As an American, I don't know enough about Indian geography or place names to understand the specifics involved, so I'm asking someone with better knowledge of the area to look into the articles and see if a merge is needed, or a renaming of one or both articles. The situation as it stands now seems inappropriate. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Tamil Nadu articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Tamil Nadu articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

The article Gummankuthu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Gummankuthu – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
