Please summarize your work using the Edit summary box If you make anything other than a minor edit to an article, it helps others if you fill in the edit summary. Edit summaries are visible in the page history, watchlists, and on Recent changes, so they help other users keep track of what is happening to a page. If you use section editing, the summary box is filled in with the section heading by default (in gray text), which you can follow with more detail. You also can put links to articles in the edit summary. Just put double brackets around [[the article title]] like you would normally. The summary is limited to 255 characters, so many people use common abbreviations, such as sp for correcting spelling mistakes, rm for remove, ce for copy-edit, etc. Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Edit summary   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-randomizing template to your user page, use {{totd-random}} File copyright problem with File:Orissa small.png File Copyright problem Thank you for uploading File:Orissa small.png.

At present I'm doing mostly grunt work sorting out infoboxes and population figures, starting districts/communes etc. Dr. Blofeld White cat 10:56, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Oh I did create Max Penson the other day. It needs some work though, probably needs rewording. Aside fomr the grunt work on geography I am heavily involved in transwikiying articles from other wikipedias with tags. Todat I'm doing Swiss painters. Mass sub stubbingI'm afriad if we want to improve the encyclopedia in the long term in terms of content. Matching up our categories with the foreign equivalents and starting the gaps. Dr. Blofeld White cat 13:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC) The Penson article could probably be expanded a great deal, I'd imagine there is a lot in Russian on him. I'll ask a Russian friend of mine on here to look into it. Now, back to blue linking the List of Swiss painters Dr. Blofeld White cat 13:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Carlos Solórzano could probably be a DYK.

Thanks Victuallers (talk) 09:22, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Personal comment/request Hello, I'm doing the GA Review for the Raja of Panagal article. It has been a pleasure to collaborate on this project. I decided to peruse your user page and I wanted to let you know that I am currently hosting an exchange student from Chittagong Bangladesh. He is here (In California) for the school year (August to June). It has been fascinating for my wife and I to learn about Bangladesh, its history, its deep ties to India, and to be exposed to more of the culture of the Indian subcontinent. He speaks Hindi but is fluent in English. I have really enjoyed the process of getting to know him, I have never been in such close proximity to someone from that part of the world. He has told my wife and I that we are a part of his family back home, which I know is a very big deal and an honor. Do you have any insight that would help me to better relate to him culturally? I know you are Indian and not from Bangladesh but I would assume that you have a more intimate knowledge of their culture and history than I would. He will be going home soon and I would like to take advantage of the time I have with him before he leaves. Thank you for your time and assistance with this. H1nkles (talk) 16:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Thank you for your comments, it is much appreciated! Our guest is Muslim but does speak both Hindi and Bengali. He has a great affinity for rice and probably fish though we don't eat fish (primarily because neither my wife or I enjoy fish). He has a deep love of cricket, and could talk for hours on it. This has been very educational as I am an ignoramous when it comes to this game. I am greatly intrigued by the cultural impact the British had on the Indian and Bangladeshi cultures. Your information does help me to gain a stronger insight into our student, I do hope to someday visit this beautiful country and perhaps I will have the chance to see the most amazing India as well. Thank you again for your help. H1nkles (talk) 17:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Re:Raja of Panagal This is a copied response from H1nkles talk page copied here to ensure receipt: Yes I saw that you use footnote 20 and 21 though I thought I only brought up sentences that relied on footnote 19, I could be mistaken though. It is totally fine if you have to wait a day or two to reply. Life takes precedence. H1nkles (talk) 18:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Re: Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy Just got back from wikibreak, so apologies for this delayed reply. At the time of reviewing the article, I had to ensure that it met the good article criteria, and so I made a list of suggestions in the GA review for copyediting of the article and neutralisation of its more obvious POVs (in peacock terms, weasel words etc). Not being well-acquainted with the subject of the article, I could not notice the finer nuances that you, being evidently more experienced than I, brought up after the listing. Had you brought them up at the time of the review, I would have certainly looked into them - as I did when I went through the peer review, in which you were involved. The editors at the time satisfactorily addressed all issues that I brought up, and the article was passed in acordance with existing guidelines for the same. That done, I am aware that the article still has some way to go before it can be considered for FA status, and that is precisely why I suggested a second peer review at the time of concluding the GA review, so that any outstanding issues can be sorted out. If you find my review unsatisfactory, feel free to ask for a reassessment. Thanks for bringing this to my notice, and good luck with the article!

I think this should be no big deal, but the policy itself is silent about this.

So I'm curious if you ever got the assistance you needed on Iyer. If so, it can be removed; not, I'd be happy to help. Recognizance (talk) 23:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC) Yeah, there were people who worked to remove all inappropriate sentences and wording.
