User talk:Naveenpf/Archive 1

Welcome

Hello, Naveenpf/Archive 1, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Thunderboltz. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Provide an Edit summary
• Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)
• Create a User page

Again, welcome! And if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask - Just click here to leave me a message; or add {{helpme}} to this page.--thunderboltz^(TALK) 11:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Glad to know. :-)

I'm dropping a few India related links that you can go through when you have time. Also we have a group of editors working on Kerala related articles at WP:KERALA. Join in if you are interested. --thunderboltz^(TALK) 12:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

To add an article to a category, simply add [[Category:Category_name]] to the article. It will be automatically listed in the category then. So, to add colleges to Category:Universities and colleges in Kerala, first see if articles for the college you are going to add exists. If yes, then edit that article and add [[Category:Universities and colleges in Kerala|College Name]] to it. If the article on the college does not exist, then create it and then add the category as in the previous case. Hope this helps. You can know more about categories at Help:Category. If you have any questions, please drop them on my talk page. --thunderboltz^(TALK) 14:42, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

PS: When you leave messages on talk pages, end them with ~~~~ (ie, four tilde signs). They get converted automatically into a link to your userpage.

Problem

The problem you had with the state highway page has been fixed. Jisha (Talk) 12:45, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

See the difference pointed out here [1]. Just moved the figures to the next line thats about it. Also, please sign your talk page edits using 4 of these → "~". which will automatically add your username to the posts. Jisha (Talk) 16:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

What do you want me to do with the categories? Do you want me to help you with placing the categories on all the related pages? I am confused. Jisha (Talk) 12:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

You can look at these → [2]

Sure will look if i can do it. Happy editing!--Jisha (Talk) 15:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I think most of the institutions listed under the Kollam subheading here [3] are mere hospitals and only some of them conduct courses in Nursing. And some others just hospitals. So why would you want to categorise them as educational institutions?--Jisha (Talk) 15:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I hope you have read about the copyright issues with information sourced from websites. If not please do go through this [4]. Hope this helps.--Jisha (Talk) 16:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hope most of your queries have been answered and most tasks taken care of by other editors. I was caught up with some thing in non wiki life. Do ping me for any help or queries. Happy editing ! Jisha (Talk) 06:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Categories

I guess you already figured out, since you created Category:Medical colleges in Kerala. To add an article to Category:Engineering colleges in Kerala, you have to just add [[Category:Engineering colleges in Kerala]] to that article. utcursch | talk 15:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

RE : Technocity - page creation

Hi Naveen, I feel that there is no need of a seperate article upon Technocity now, as the project is on its initial stages. Moreover, there is enough quoting about it on the Technopark article.

Btw, don't forget to place your comments in talk pages, under appropriate headings which is preceeded and succeeded by two equal signs : ==

Kerala Roads

Naveen, I noticed your message to Utcursch. You can do this yourself by clicking the Move tab on the article. An administrator help is needed if the target page already exists. In this case Roads in Kerala does not exist. So it is a simple move operation. See WP:MOVE. Also, you can sign yourself on talk pages by entering ~~~~. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 04:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I've moved the article. Ganesh is right. utcursch | talk 04:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge

Sure. I am reading up on the policies. Will try doing it. Jisha (Talk) 13:33, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I have placed the merger messages on the respective pages. Jisha (Talk) 14:19, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I see you have been helped. Please sign your posts on talk pages by typing ~~~~. It lets the person know who left the message. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 18:27, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

GMC Thrissur

• hi :) I have made an article on Government Medical College, Thrissur. Pls do tell me ur suggestions. Binoj Mathew 04:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks, why i didn't flood that page with lots of info because a valid source in internet dealing with it is rare. Still i have a added few info today without sources coz its practically impossible to find sources for every point. Many of the points may be known only to students, like college magazines,campus details etc Binoj Mathew 04:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. We'll remove it from the main article then. Mukesh.mv 07:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Kerala road map

Hi Naveenpf. Im not taking requests for such maps right now since i dont have the time. However since the data is already available in svg format, you can import my map and make derievative works the way you want quite easily. Please download inkscape and try to learn making maps. It really is impossible for me to do each and every map for each state -- ^{PlaneMad|YakYak} 18:53, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Malayalee

Hello,

There's a problem in the Malayalee article. The points of contention are the following:

• Dayaanjali doesn't want the article to mention that marumakkathayam (matrilineality/matrifocality) were practiced by the Nairs. i.e., as a community, Nairs were known to be matrifocal/matrilineal, and a martial class.
• Dayaanjali insists the the words "Malayali" comes from the Malayalam words Malai and Aali. Historically, the region has been known as Malayalam before the genesis of the Malayalam language. Hence, the words probably originated from old Tamil. He also seems to think that Malayalam originated independently of Tamil, whereas (facts aside) all linguists state that Malayalam split off from Tamil about 800 AD or 900 AD.

Since you are active in Kerala-related articles, I request you to take a look at this matter. Dayaanjali seems unwilling to discuss changes in the talk page. Initially we had a discussion. I provided references to support my points. After this, he has refused to discuss the points, claiming that my edits are "unverified". The discussion is here. --vi5in^[talk] 06:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi I firmly believe that Malayalam developed independently having more influence from Tamil. Having said that, the language has similarities with other languages in south india. It has loaned words from sanskrit and many foriegn languages. Its grammatic styles are similar to Tamil. Script is more similar to Tulu Script. Even then You cannot call it new language. The people of malabar cost was using languague which was different from Tamil even during Sangam period, though part of same kingdoms as that of present day Tamil Nadu. The people are different, the culture is different, the script is different. The words Mala and ali are there in many languages in south india and foreign languages like Sinhala, Thai etc. Its not known where the words come any paryicular language. And about customs of Nair cast, its not specific to nairs. More than that this is not the article that you can list out all the customs and tradition of aparticular community. You have a separate article where you can add details.

IIEST

Dear friend The title given as Indian Institute of Engineering, Science and Technology is misleading the exact title is Indian

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology

. A coma can change the meaning. Remember a “Coma can kill a person”. Then as the president of CUSAT’s research Scholar’s Association, the only official forum for scholar’s of CUSAT, I have studied various documents related to IIEST including Anathakrishnan commission report. That is why I took a decision to add some facts about IIEST. Then I know what a blog is. That is why I used the word “controversy “ with the title. May be the content provoked you.I think you are quite aware about the democracy in wikipedia.

Your suggestion - Kerala High Court

Hi Naveen,

Thanks for your suggestion. It can make the article more readable and exhaustive. I'd try doing it, shortly. In the meanwhile, I'd be much obliged if you can do it... Nice to know that you are from Thrissur too.

Template:National Institutes of Technology

Could you explain why you undid my edit to Template:National Institutes of Technology? Styles are not recommended as to maintain consistency among templates and pages in Wikipedia. --Geniac (talk) 14:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not a regulation (policy?), but Wikipedia:Navigational templates points to Template:Navbox for consistent formatting of navigational templates, so I convert a few over whenever I have the time and inclination. Template:Navbox/doc#Styles (NOT RECOMMENDED) says the same. --Geniac (talk) 13:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Template: Universities

Hi Naveen, probably it won't be a good idea to add institutes other than Universities in the template. There are templates available for institutes like NITs, IITs. Probably we may need other templates to accomodate other institutes. En.Dev (talk) 16:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Kannur International Airport

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Kannur International Airport, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Kannur International Airport is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Kannur International Airport, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

state highways of kerala

There is a difficulty in obtaining correct and up to date information. Kerala PWD website seems to be out of date as it shows some roads as part of state highways whereas they have been included in national highways. Even maps seem to be inaccurate.

WikiProject India Newsletter Volume III, Issue no. 001 - June 2008

Project News Tag & Assess 2008, an assessment drive initiated by the assessment department began on June 7, 2008 and will be running until July 2008. Many Wikipedians have started contributing to this mammoth task. This housekeeping activity will help manage articles in better way. You can also get involved! Bot Assisted Assessment was successfully done using Bot0612 in May 2008. 1744 articles (18.5%) of all India unassessed articles were marked if they had been assessed by some other project. What's Featured and Good? Five new articles were promoted to featured article status in 2008: Western Chalukya architecture, 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings, Akhtar Hameed Khan, Preity Zinta, Kannada literature in the Vijayanagara Empire. Two new lists were given featured list status in 2008: List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar, List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality. There is currently one Indian article as a featured article nominee. Two more articles, (Bengali language, Kazi Nazrul Islam) are undergoing featured article reviews. You could help save these two articles by leaving your comments or assisting the involved editors. Three articles are undergoing good article nominations: Anekantavada, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Santosh Subramaniam. IPL was hot on Wikipedia too!!! During the tournament, the article was among the most frequently edited articles. It is currently the only Indian article in top 100, occupying 58th spot. Do you know of an article that is currently underrated? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's request for assessment. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.

Speedy deletion of IISER Thiruvananthapuram

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.
