Hello

Happy New Year Tinu. What happened to your proposal? I would recommend just carrying on with it providing you can find the coordinates. The Bald One White cat 19:10, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes .. I am still collecting the data at http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Village_Directory/Population_data/Population_5000_and_Above.aspx while it went down :( -- Tinu Cherian - 11:45, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Mullur

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mullur, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Tungal. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 07:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Silly bot :) ! one is a place in Chamarajanagar district and another in Bagalkot district of Karnataka state of India . Leaving a note also at the bot operator's page -- Tinu Cherian - 08:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Heh. Just axe the notice; CSBot is fairly good, but there are still a few false positives (hence human review). — Coren (talk) 13:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
No issues, I just wanted to let you know, just in case you need any inputs. Otherwise I do understood, I am also a bot operator of TinucherianBot (talk contribs count) and TinucherianBot II (talk contribs count) -- Tinu Cherian - 15:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Indian Wikipedians by no of edits

Hi,

I plan to introduce following columns to this list User:Tinucherian/Indians WP

- S.No (first column)
- 'City'
- Edit areas (I can put my main edits are related to categorization of pages)

Pl suggest which columns can be added and if they need renaming or not.
Also can we have a new page where these top Indian Wikipedians (by edit count) can suggest ways of improvement/better collaboration, the current page Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics designed for such activity is not helping much, this way we may divide/assign work as well. For sure any other Wikipedian besides these can come to that page and participate. Vjdchauhan (talk) 12:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC).

Chauhan, please free to edit WP:IND EDITS . I am a bit skeptic of city column due to privacy concerns. Some people may not like their personal details like city of residence etc to be revealed. Indians 'normally' wont mind it though...:) You may add the column for city , but leave it for the corresponding user to update it if he is interested only. -- Tinu Cherian - 13:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I agree and I too may decide not to reveal the city but the ones who want to can put it there. What about new page on lines of Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics where we can ask all top Indian Wikipedians (by edit count) to visit regularly for better collaboration. I haven't seen much of Indian Wikiprojects working nicely besides the ones on Cricket and Movies. Vjdchauhan (talk) 13:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC).
Added # and 'Main editing areas' columns (pl check if you want to rename/remove them). Did not add City column on second thought. Pl this about a page where top Indian Wikipedians can collaborate. Thanks. Vjdchauhan (talk) 13:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC).
Thatz fine. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 15:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I have added a section 'How to use this list for effective collaboration', see if you want to add some suggestion there. I will also ask the ones on this list to visit this section. Vjdchauhan (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC).

Christianity project newsletter

Just wondering if there have been any since July 2008, the last I have on my talkpage. Thanks Robert of Ramsor (talk) 22:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

K. V. Krishna Iyer

Would it be possible for you to provide his year of death. All I can find in the web is that he was alive in 1986, when he must've been 92; nothing more. By the way, I had a look at your response to my expression of concern. I had earlier posted that message but now I feel that it could be discussed more in private. I'll contact you about it this weekend. Take care.-RavichandarMy coffee shop 06:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I will try to find...ok -- Tinu Cherian - 06:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Article on Solomon Joseph

Hi Tinu,

I am Mathew, the associate editor of Sunny News based in Bombay. We have started this newspaper to fulfil the lifelong unfulfilled dream of journalist and social worker Solomon Joseph. It is great to read that you are one of the 13 wiki editors in India...congratulations...keep up the good work...

There are a lot of details about his life that need special mention and i have to get the details and references from his family.

Solomon Josep might not be that well known in Kerala due to the fact that he was based in Bombay and due to the fact that he had to work in a Government job to support his family but that does not mean his articles and deeds are not worthwile mentioning in wikipedia. Most of Malayalees in Bombay remember him as the ONLY Malayalee to have consistently raised cudgels against the Shiv Sena.

His life and family were threatened by communal politicians several times and he lived under police protection many a time. But even that did not deter him. He lived and struggled day and night for the Malayalee community in Bombay till his death.

Please do let me know what kind of references u need and i will provide them to make the article perfect. I would appreceiat your help in properly structuring this article.

Thanks

Mathew. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mthomasin (talkcontribs) 23:40, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind appreciation. I guess your concern was regarding my AFD tagging of Solomon Joseph article. Unfortunately or fortunately , Here at WP , we have strict policies and guidelines for inclusion of people as it is an encyclopedia. When you add a person to it, think of these questions , Does the person's details have any encyclopedic value ? Does other people want to know about him ? Please see ourWikipedia:Notability (people) policy .Articles about Notable people should be verifable by "reliable sources". If not the article will be deleted. If you believe Solomon Joseph is truely notable , back up the article with reliable references. Please understand that WP is not a short cut to be notable. If there is anything that I can help, let me know. -- Tinu Cherian - 11:11, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the welcome! As you know this is my first post, so I am very nervous about the reaction from others. :) I've been incorporating the changes suggested by other people to the best of my ability, but you see, I can't make head or tail of some of the comments. For example, someone says the article is too personalized, and I've looked and looked and can't find the personal connection. I've read the rules thoroughly and taken a lot of effort to make sure the article sounds fair. Does being neutral mean saying some bad things about the subject I've chosen? Since this is my first article I only went by whatever info I could fin online, from known newspapers and journals.
Also, another editor says it looks like an essay, or an advertisement. How can the same article be an advertisement, too personalized as well as an essay?I'm very confused, and your adice would be very welcome!

Thanks again! Best wishes, Pupiltree (talk) 05:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
