oral tradition edit
yes, 3,500 years of precise oral tradition is a tall order, and I find it reassuring that you seem to recognize this. It is also the world record, so by no means is this number taken for granted, but certainly recognized as a stunning feat. Oberlies (whom I cite on Rigveda) is positive about "more than 2,000 years". This is the minimum certainly accepted by everybody. If we accept a redaction of about 600 BC, that makes 2,600 years of precise oral tradition (for the few Vedins who still know their Rigveda in 2006, I assume modern life has rather thinned their ranks, but I understand the tradition is indeed still alive today). If we go beyond 2,600 years, we are not talking about literally precise tradition, because the text was changed. But the word-by-word content (apart from phonetic and prosodic issues) we can be sure was handed down for some 3,100 years (if we accept the uncontroversial 1100 BC date for the latest hymns). Assuming 3,500 years is still fair, and applies to at least sizeable parts of the text. If we push it to 3,700 years, we are in less certain territory. Only a small number of hymns can be assumed to have such an age. We are maybe looking at a tradition of 37, 38 centuries for a tiny fraction of the Rigveda. This cannot be proven beyond any doubt, but scholars are willing to grant the possibility. Say 3,500 years to be comfortably safe, say 3,000 to be absolutely safe, or say 2,500 years and you can insist of absolutely precise, syllable-by-syllable tradition. dab (ᛏ) 15:41, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Help for template edit
Hi, this is the ikiroid again, trying to scout out help for Wikipedia:WikiProject Writing systems. I'm looking for anyone who can help contribute to Template:Infobox Writing system. It's an esoteric sort of template, copied from Template:Infobox Language that now needs to be revised for writing system pages. All ideas and comments about it should be directed to Template talk:Infobox Writing system. Contact me with any questions or comments. Thanks!--The ikiroid (talk)(Help Me Improve) 21:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
INCOTW - Islam in India edit
You voted for Islam in India, this week's Indian Colloboration of the Week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. - Ganeshk (talk) 23:44, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Featured article work for WikiProject Writing Systems members edit
Hello WikiProject WS members, it's the ikiroid again, spamming for help.....this time, it's for working on an article. We're trying to bring the article about the International Phonetic Alphabet up to featured status, and it would be great if anyone from our project would be willing to lend a helping hand. You can make suggestions about what to improve in the article here, where we're keeping track of the article's renovation. Thanks for reading. Feel free to ask me any questions about the article's improvement.--The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 23:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical Tamil Inactivity edit
I have tried to organise this project and created the categories and stub templates suggested by the project template, however there has been a proposal to merge Classical Tamil category with the Tamil literature category. I think it would be better if we make this project include all Tamil literature rather than just 'Classical Tamil literature' we could do better. Perhaps we should rename the project Wikiproject:Tamil literature.
Also I would like to see some more input from other editors in this project. - Parthi 22:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

CRM redirect edit
I've replied to the comment you left on my Talk page about this at Talk:CRM. Klausness (talk) 14:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
CRM Article edit
Hi, I'm more than willing to try and improve the CRM article, which IMO was a real shambles, although I hope I've nuked most of the really awful stuff. Feel free to tell me a bit more about what you'd like to do and how to go about it. I should probably also mention that I may take a while (i.e. weeks, not years) to get around to editing the article or even replying to you, as I only have time to edit on a semi-regular basis.
What's your conflict of interest, if I might ask? :) As long as you're not pushing any particular agenda, surely any form of substantial and informative contributions can only be a good thing for the article...

-- I looked at the "Redirect to Primary Topic?" discussion on the CRM page, and while I personally would expect CRM to mean Customer Relationship Management (and probably most people I know would too), I don't really have any information about the other uses and how common they are. Personally, I'd prefer to type in just "CRM" and get to the customer relationship management page. But personal preference is probably not enough justification for doing something, so I haven't bothered posting anything on the article's talk page.
Is there any way of telling how popular the individual links on the disambiguation page are? If 85% of people typing in "CRM" then click on the same article on the disambiguation page, then I think that that article should obviously be accessed if you type in "CRM". The users probably know best what they're looking for... Steevm (talk) 16:58, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Help improve Salesforce.com edit
You claim to work at Salesforce. In which case I invite you to improve the representation of the very confusing Salesforce product line. See the talk page for more details.
