Malayalam naming conventions

Hello Deepujoseph, I'm from the German Misplaced Pages and only occassionally active on the English site but I remember you were the one who welcomed me when I registered here - so thanks for that :-) In the German Misplaced Pages, we're lacking a native speaker of Malayalam who could help us creating naming conventions for this language. So far we have conventions for Devanagari, Bengali and Tamil (see here) only. Are there any naming conventions for Malayalam in the English Misplaced Pages? Maybe you can help us - just answer here or on my talk page. Thanks & regards--Young Pioneer 12:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

automatic sitenotice offset

Re your question on VP/T: On another site I recently worked out a way to over-write the title, that automatically offsets itself for the sitenotice:

<div id="titlehack" style="padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0; text-align:{{#switch:{{{align}}}|right=right|middle|center=center|left|#default=left}}; position:absolute; left:0.95em; top:0%; width:98%; background-color:transparent"> {{#switch:{{MediaWiki:Sitenotice}}|-|=|#default=<div id="siteNotice" style="visibility:hidden"><p>{{MediaWiki:Sitenotice}}</p></div>}} <div style="margin-bottom: 0; color: black; background-color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; padding-top: .5em; padding-bottom: .17em; font-size: 188%;border-bottom: 1px solid #aaaaaa;">{{{1|{{PAGENAME}}}}}</div> </div>

It overlays the sitenotice itself, but invisibly. And since it is in the offset div with the header, it offsets the header almost precisely. So to adapt it to your needs, this should work:

<div id="titlehack" style="padding-top:0; padding-bottom:0; text-align:right; position:absolute; left:0.95em; top:0%; width:98%; background-color:transparent"> {{#switch:{{MediaWiki:Sitenotice}}|-|=|#default=<div id="siteNotice" style="visibility:hidden"><p>{{MediaWiki:Sitenotice}}</p></div>}} <div style="margin-bottom: 0; color: black; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; padding-top: .5em; padding-bottom: .17em; font-size: 188%">'''a.k.a thunderboltz'''</div> </div>

Hippie / Wolof

I did not see the origins of the word Hippie section. Glad you moved my sentence to that section. My source, I think, was an article in Time.com from about a year ago. I could not find it.--— Preceding unsigned comment added by Surazeus (talk • contribs)

Ageo020 Auckland University

Hi, I found your page on the Kerala wikipedians category. Also, the edit regarding ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz was done by the proxy server in the university. No foul play on my behalf. Sorry, if it caused any problems to you.--Ageo020 00:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Request

Copied from my page

Hello! TerriersFan (talk · contribs) made a request on my talk page to delete the old version of Image:Star Collection.jpg. Could you please help him/her out? Thanks! -- thunderboltz11:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello again, Bhadaniji. TerriersFan (talk · contribs) has explained the reason why he wants the particular version of the image deleted. I believe it is quite justified and comes under CSD 7. If you have any reservations about the matter, could you please inform? Thanks, and best regards, -- thunderboltz12:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)~

Hello, nice meeting you after so long. But, where are the e-mail etc. I could not find any alongside the image. --Bhadani 13:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Kuaichik: Namaskaaram!

Namaskaaram Saarre! :) I am a second-generation Malayalee myself. I just finished listing more works on the Kumaran Asan page (in addition to the dates corresponding to all works mentioned). I haven't cited the book from which I got the information ("Asante Padyakrthikal"), but I'll get around to it sooner or later. Thank you for the links!--Kuaichik 06:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC) (Vijay)

Thanks

Thanks Deepu for your welcome message. I have hardly made 2 contributions though I joined over a year ago. Hopefully, I will devote more time from now on. --Anoopramanujam 07:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

From GlueWhale

Hi Deepu. I am working at MEC Edappally. Where do you work? Where is the cochin page? Think you put the link wrongly.It's not working. I plan to put more articles on our playback singers. They are all poorly represented here.Only K.J.Y , P.jayachandran, and now P.Somasundaran have a decent writeup. Just finished a stub on Gayatri. Hope to get more details from her and finish it soon. Also want to do articles on all old singers who did not get their due. I think wiki is still biased against people from kerala. See the amount of sock and false propaganda done even by our so called malayalee wikians! Why do we always fight against each other? Anyway I will definitely be troubling you again for help since I am a toddler here! Hope you will oblige. --Gluewhale 15:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

From Vijay (User "Kuaichik"): Thirteen languages

I think I will list the thirteen languages using WP:BABEL. For now, I will list them in plain text on my user page. And no, you're not overwhelming me. The links you sent me seem to be very useful, and I will make sure to look at all of them.--Kuaichik 19:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much for all the links! I just finished reading them all. I'm quite sure they will be useful.--Kuaichik 22:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

By the way, could I help you with your French page? Please?--Kuaichik 04:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Why did I learn all those languages? I don't really know; I was interested in languages ever since I was four years old. It could have been for a variety of reasons.

I learned all of them at home, by myself. Sometimes I used books, sometimes I used online materials (whenever there were any).

By the way, it's actually "absolument" not "absoluTEment." The word "absolutely" is an exception to the French rule of making the adjective feminine before adding the "-ment." Thank you so much for letting me edit!! --Kuaichik 21:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've edited the French page a little. I'll have to look around the French Misplaced Pages a little more to see whether certain features (e.g. Babel) are available. Geez, I really have to do some serious editing of all these foreign language pages...I'm working on better machine translators (sometimes); those should help when they're done! --Kuaichik 22:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

This is the "literal" translation of your French user page:

Namaskaaram! ("Hello" in Malayalam)

Hello! My name is Deepu Joseph. I am Indian and a student of French. I have edited ("corrected") and worked on many articles in English. (You can find the proof on my English page). I am particularly interested in articles about India and Kerala. I contribute to the Wikipedias in Malayalam and French sometimes.

Place of Residence: Kochi, Kerala, India My first edit ("correction") on en.wiki: Oct. 27, 2005 (I have been actively editing since Feb. 2006)

More about me: here on en.wiki

I don't speak much French: this page has been edited by user Kuaichik. It's more or less a translation of the original English page. --Kuaichik 22:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, now I have included the Babel features from your homepage, too! --Kuaichik 03:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

DYK

On 7 August, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mahé River, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

I had no idea that it was called the English Channel! Nice article Deepu. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 08:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. :) -- thunderboltz08:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

And have one of these too. Well deserved for all the great editing you've done of late. -- Samir धर्म 08:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message

Thanks Deepu for the message. I've been a reader of Misplaced Pages for so long but has started writing only last week. I started off with an entry on Maharajas College and is now working on an entry called Ambalamedu. Personally, Im a bad designer of webpages and I'm only beginning to learn Misplaced Pages syntax.

I would be greatly thankful if you would like to make changes to my pages. I had mailed a few of my friends saying that the page I've done is horrible and asked for help. Without a help, I dont think I can do anything presantable.

If you can share me any of your messenger contacts, that would be more helpful if I need to ask you doubts.

Regards Sreejith K.

More precise url inside we-make-money-not-art.com

Deepujoseph, could you consider using the url for the page containing this photo on we-make-money-not-art.com instead of the url to the home page? Thanks in advance. --Abu Badali 11:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Ayurveda oil.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ayurveda oil.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 11:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. However, I'm not sure about the picture any longer. The website We Make Money Not Art, had a Creative commons license on it (on the main page) when I uploaded the image from this page. But I cant find it any longer. Anyhow, here's proof that I'm not lying. The page still is listed in google under websites that are "free to use or share, even commercially". I've provided the source of the image and its creator. However, I've left the no-source template intact. Looking forward to your insight in the matter. Thank you.-- thunderboltz12:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

From Gluewhale

There was an NPOV and cleanup notice put on pradip somasundaran which I have set right by pruning the article and also removing the POV's. I also shortened the list of songs to highlight only the important ones and removed the terms famous, prominent etc. All this was done as per tips provided by Bluevalour. Now can I remove the NPOV banner? Or is it to be removed only by Bluevalour who kept it there? Just a (wiki rules) doubt. Please help... --Gluewhale 14:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Gluewhale, if you are in touch with him, can you please check whether it is Pradeep or Pradip, and Somasundaran or Somasundaram ? Tintin (talk) 14:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

New Article on Ankur

Priyappetta Deepu,

I have created my first article, Ankur (film). It currently includes an introduction and eight paragraphs explaining the plot (it is a very complex film, and I believe eight paragraphs are necessary just to begin covering the intricate storyline involved).

I have two questions concerning the article:

1. Should I now remove the "stub" notice (which I myself included :))?

2. I have not cited sources just yet (I was thinking of adding more information first). Should I include it on one of the "Did You Know?" pages anyway? If so, which one? (The main page or the Indian Portal page?)

Snehamulla, Vijayan. --Kuaichik 03:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Ayyo! Valiya upakaaramaayi!! Thank you SOOO much for responding to my last comment! I wonder how on Earth you manage to respond to so many comments...!

I've removed the stub notice. Here it's almost midnight, so I'll add the film information and source material tomorrow. Then I'll submit it to Template talk:Did you know.

I've studied French for about six years, so I know it pretty well. Also, I'm not worried about losing the ability to speak it (and write it), because I'm going to UT right after my birthday, and there are tons of people there who speak French. But I do make errors every now and then (a very clear example of this can be found on the French page for the Domesday Book, which I edited only to have tons of grammatical errors corrected!). :)

By the way, I happened to notice that you're about my age (less than a year younger than me). How interesting! --Kuaichik 05:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
