I have reverted the change and provided proof that he is wrong. There is an article for the 'correct' Peroz I that he is thinking of. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 06:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC) I have deleted the unrelated material from the talk page. If he continues to add it, I will contact an administrator to straighten things out. I explained to him on his talk page that he was confusing one for the other. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 20:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC) Image:Akhand Bharat.jpg listed for deletion An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Akhand Bharat.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Rajendar Hi, you have not explained why you have reverted the edits of User:Redddogg, I'd like to cite you WP:BLP: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles". I have adressed the problem here. Feel free to join the discussion.Cenarium (talk) 02:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC) AIV reports Hey! Thanks for helping out in combating vandalism and reporting vandals at WP:AIV. A couple of your recent reports have not been compliant with guidelines, however. You might want to read Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism. Specifically, we always warn editors before blocking. If the person stops vandalising in response to a warning, there is no need to block. This is especially important for IP addresses, since we have no way to tell that the same person is editing from the same IP address each time (for example, the computer may be located in a High School computer lab, or an internet cafe; or it could be dynamically assigned to a different user by the ISP every time a new user logs in to that ISP). Thus, not only should you assure that the IP address has been warned, and has vandalised since the most recent warning, but that the vandalism has followed shortly after (usually within a few minutes) the prior warning. Thanks so much for your help in fighting vandalism, it is MUCH appreciated, but please assure that your reports to AIV are compliant, since it takes administrators time to investigate each report, and we want to make sure such investigations are fruitful and necessary. Good luck and happy editing! --Jayron32.talk.contribs 16:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC) That was pretty long ago. I had already been messaged with regard to this a couple of days ago and I have'nt reported any IP since.-Ravichandar 03:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC) Check the date dude. I did leave the message a couple of days ago... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC) Iyer Let's keep the discussion here. Thanks Taprobanus (talk) 18:10, 25 February 2008 (UTC) I see you have nominated it for WP:GA, but do take a look at similar Amish article as to how it is written to get GA status. Taprobanus (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC) Well the article in general seems to have too many sections and is trying to overwhelm us with a lot of information. In my view it should be structured along how other ethnic group articles are written. Can have general sections like Identity, History, Religion, Society, Language, Politics, Migration. Underneath each section have no more than 2 paragraphs, if more then it should be peeled off as seperate article and bring it down to one paragraph. Just my opinion Taprobanus (talk) 15:23, 26 February 2008 (UTC) An encyclopedic article has no such flavors, whether you read Britanica or the New Standard encyclopedia, they are written with a professional flavor. Wikipedia should be no better or worse but free, that is the catch. Once we understand that then our attitude towards this human endeavor will change qualitatively. Taprobanus (talk) 15:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC) Schoolgirl Please don't nominate vandalized articles for speedy deletion. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC) Warning to wrong editor Wikipedia:New contributors' help page#Vandalism is about this warning by you.

Hi, are you sure the section on the Matangi Avatar should be completely removed from the Dalit article? I have read that the Goddess Matangi is worshiped as a protecter of Dalits and "outcastes."

I suggest that you consider reverting your edits. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 13:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC) Are you ignoring this or will you respond? I only ask because I notice you've edited since the above post. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 15:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC) I just realized that you neglected to finish closing the AfD. Notices are still on the articles and the talk page templates have not been added. You might want to take care of that when you get a chance. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 23:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC) Deletion Review for Guilty Pleasure An editor has asked for a deletion review of Guilty Pleasure.
