Weclome to Tamil cinema

Hi Bala,

I warmly Welcome you to the section of Tamil Cinema at Wikipedia. I saw your edits and it was great to see such valuable edits. Contact me at my talk page if any help required --M.arunprasad 06:04, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notable films only?

Dear NM,

I'm going to move your comment from the project page to the project's talk page, and reply to it there. What I'll be saying: people don't agree on which are the notable films and which aren't and, any list invites additions. I have seen this over and over on WP. Readers who are otherwise hesitant to contribute to WP see a list, know that something is missing, and add it. So the lists would grow to full filmographies rapidly.

To Do #9 - Ilaiyaraaja

Thank you for taking the time to read the To-Do list on the Ilaiyaraaja page and to give your comments regarding awards and honours. You are correct in saying that the website of the Directorate of Film Festivals (India)(http://www.mib.nic.in/dff/) which apparently organises the Indian National Awards do not have an archive or database of past and present winners of the various categories of the awards (or that the website is 'down' -- it has been down for at least a year since I looked it up). Information keyed into IMDB.com is done by the public. So the credibility of what is stated there is arguable. However, given that there are no other more credible sources, then perhaps we can make do with IMDB.com. Also, what I had in mind was finding sources which backup the statements made about Ilaiyaraaja getting this or that honorary doctorate or this or that Government award. I have not attempted to find sources for these (could be newspaper items or government reports etc.) I thank you once again for showing interest in this Wikipedia article. I appreciate your comments very much. I hope together we can make this a cool Feature Article :) AppleJuggler 14:30, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I am Pokkiri

I heard you desire on the Varalaru discussion page.

So I have improved the article and rewritten the plot by myself.

Please check it out, it is exactly as the movie goes and is good for the neutral.

Vedham Pudhithu

Hi. Do you have a source that says that Ilaiyaraaja composed the music for this film? I believe the film credits state that it is Devendran. Can you please confirm? Thanks. AppleJuggler 14:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some information from the Internet for you. Read the topmost section of this webpage: http://dvdunlimitedonline.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=2625 AppleJuggler 14:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. AppleJuggler 11:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're Invited!

Hi,

I saw your editions on the Pallava and Pandya pages also linking them to a Tamil page. Good job! Would you like to join our WikiProject Dravidian Civilizations group? It would be of benefit to have someone who is proficient in Tamil or any other Dravidian language/ script to translate Dravidian related articles into that particular language. If you are interested please go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Dravidian civilizations and put your name in the members section. Regards. Wiki Raja 19:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arooj Aftab

Please be notified that Arooj Aftab is being considered for deletion. Please visit the article to find out the ways to prevent the deletion. Szhaider 03:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:WikiProject Dravidian Civilization..

No problem. Wiki Raja 17:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Arooj Aftab

Actually, I proposed the deletion of this article because I did not think this artist was notable enough to have an article. A few hours before deletion, I was asked to notify the contributors of this article about its deletion. You were one of the contributors of Arooj Aftab that is why you received the message.

P. G. Wodehouse tweaks

Hi, I just undid a couple of changes you made to some P.G.Wodehouse pages - I've been using quote marks for short stories and italics for full novels, to tell the two forms apart, I think this is the standard way this is done (it's the way the whole PGW section is at the moment anyway). If you think this is wrong please let me know and I'll fix it, JohnnyZen 17:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

India

Because of India's rich diversity, no one image can represent all of India's one billion people. That is why I propose selecting a new demographics image every three months. This would allow for a regional balance and would show India as a whole. Many people have agreed that this is the only way to represent India's rich and varied diversity. Since you have voted for a change in the demographics section, I wanted to update you on this proposal. I would love to hear your comments on talk:India. Thanks so much. Have a great day!

Re: Err

I reverted the edits made by Wiki Raja because he was canvassing for the CfD vote. Such disruptive canvassing is strictly prohibited and all instances of the canvassing are reverted. I acted in response to a comment posted on ANI about canvassing by wiki raja. He has been warned against canvassing here. - Aksi_great (talk) 09:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to WP:India

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
  • Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! — Lost(talk) 21:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: AWB on ta WP

I had once written to Ravi the steps to use AWB on ta. See [1]. HTH. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 13:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You should be able to do spelling fixes in tamil wiki too. Did you have any trouble getting it to work on ta wiki? Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 17:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In the steps that I had to send Ravi, I have to point to this one:
  1. File - User project preferences. Select "ta" here for language. And also do, File - login. -- Ganeshk (talk) 17:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have not used regex feature on AWB yet. Not sure how regex works on unicode text on ta wiki. I have replaced one word with another in English wiki. To play safe, do a simple find and replace, one word with another. -- Ganeshk (talk) 02:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Madhubot

Hi there. I've currently blocked User:Madhubot as a security precaution since you have not been granted approval to run it at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval yet, nor have you edited its userpage yourself to verify that you indeed own this bot. Feel free to request unblocking as soon as approval has been granted. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:01, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess I am a little confused here. I created the user page for Madhubot while I had logged in as Madhubot.. and I just tried submitting a request for Bot Approval - again, while logged in as Madhubot (I thot that's how it's done), but I got this message saying it was blocked... Umm, what exactly should I do now? (1) Update the userpage of Madhubot while signed in as Nmadhubala? (2) Submit the request for bot approval, again while signed in as Nmadhubala? Is that right? I am totally confused here, so any assistance would be appreciated! --Madhu 17:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. That's right. Just copy and paste {{unblock|[[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Madhubot]]}} into User_talk:Madhubot when it's approved and the account will be unblocked. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:10, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Avichi Meiyappa Chettiar

Friends, I've created an expanded this article on film producer and director Avichi Meiyappa Chettiar. My aim is to get this article featured on Wikipedia's Main page on June 28, the 101st birth anniversary of AVM. It would be great if you could help me in copy-editing work as well as in completion of the Filmography section. Valuable assistance or useful suggestions towards further improvement of the article is most welcome. -RavichandarMy coffee shop 05:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chola Dynasty

The Epic Barnstar
I award you this epic barnstar in appreciation of your hard work in adding citations to support a number of statements in Chola Dynasty. Sundar \talk \contribs 06:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thanks for digging up the book and finding citations. Can I ask you to use the ndash instead of "pp 19-20" with a raw hyphen for the page ranges. Also, please do not put "see AUTHOR" in the footnote, because it's not what is usually done. It's also implicit because of it's a reference to us to look there. I have started fixing some of these, but please keep it in mind, while you are adding more citations. Also, why are you using "Geeta Vasudevan, p 5" when you listed the surname as just "Vasudevan" in the book list at the bottom? Keep up the good work. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 10:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification

If you go through my edits you will find that I haven't replaced – (ndash) with -(hyphen) but rather replaced the html entity &ndash with —. This entity can be found in the edit mode.:-


Insert: – — … ‘ “ ’ ” ° ″ ′ ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Sign your username: ~~~~ (on talk pages)



By doing this I have reduced the mess caused by the word &ndash. Great job on the article BTW.- KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 08:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you understood it right. - KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Correction!!!: Forget whatever I said about the dashes. The long dash in the edit mode is in fact emdash. I reverted my edits on the Chola Dynasty page. Sorry!- KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 14:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I am confused. Actually I need someone to explain me about the dashes! - KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 15:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Carnatic music

Purandaradasar is not the founder of Carnatic music, to answer your question. He was the founder of the current system of teaching it - which lays much of the foundations (that, with his other contributions, earned him the title of 'father'). Ncmvocalist (talk) 17:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
