Economy of India

Hi, Thanks for your edits. I noticed your great edits on topics related to the Economy of India and it would be great if you can help us improve the article or related articles. Thanks again!! pamri 08:51, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Nice

Your edits are nice, please continue with the good work. --Bhadani 14:50, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Rama survey

hi, Initially all the surveys were included in a single page as i developed them. Then somebody threatened that, the page would be deleted as it was as lengthy. Hence i divided into multiple pages, and gave some name to each of them. That name was hence given to it without thinking much. You may change the title appropriately. Sorry for that. Ramashray 13:50, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Bahadur Shah

  • It was nice to see your edit, but actually Bahadur Shah Zafar and Bahadur Shah II are one and the same person. His real name was Bahadur Shah and as there was one more Bahadur Shah in the earlier period of Mughal Empire, the second is called Bahadur Shah II. In literary circle the second one was known as Zafar, which was his pen-name. Cheers. Have happy editing.--Bhadani 14:21, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Deputy prime ministers of India

Hi, I should have taken you into confidence before removing some stuff from this page. I hope you see the reason why I removed some stuff. Do add anything you may like. Manik Raina 05:52, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello

It was nice to see your message - actually I have made bigger mistakes, so please do not worry: let us always come closer to make wikipedia great. Have a nice time editing. Hope to see you around. --Bhadani 14:17, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Politics of India

I appreciate your good work with Politics of India. -- Sundar 06:32, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently-created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Frequent edits

Hey, you've been doing good work. In Sania Mirza article I noticed that you have made frequent edits only a few minutes apart. Use the "Show preview" button more often and save when you've made enough number of changes. This would help watchers of an article to track the history better. Jay 19:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

(Archival)Hi Jay,

this is with reference to your message by the same subject name on my talk page regarding my frequent edits on Sania Mirza. As the edits were in different sections and as I prefer using "section edits" (saves time on a slow internet connection), I could not use preview and hence frequent edits would be visible. thought I shd. let u know --rgds.,Gurubrahma 07:38, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Telugu Misplaced Pages

Can you please give your opinion at Misplaced Pages talk:Notice board for India-related topics#Any Telugu speakers? -- Sundar 06:09, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

OK. I'll ask someone else. Thanks. -- Sundar 06:29, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

Bahadur Yar Jung

Hi, I noticed you put a cleanup notice on this page, and tried to remove the mess. Do you think it's worth removing the clean-up tag now? Sam Vimes 14:18, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Cheers. Just to clarify: the last two paragraphs were definitely copyvio from - and the first paragraph was quite littered with POV. Sam Vimes 16:39, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar although I only did some minor copy & paste (My pinky & digitus secundus are grateful for the award though. :-D). BTW, that definitely won't be your last barnstar. --Pamri • Talk 06:58, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for catching that my revert on the Gandhi page got rid of most of it but let that one line of vandalism through. Qaz 09:43, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Categories

I would prefer that the categories remain separate. It becomes easy to search and locate through the categories. Having multiple categories on the same page is ok, you should see some of the cricket bio pages; they are huge!. User:Nichalp/sg 06:17, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Aruna Asaf Ali, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Aruna Asaf Ali

Hey, you're welcome! I've actually always thought that one of the problems with the Misplaced Pages community is that we don't take enough time to let each other know our articles are being read and appreciated--all too often it feels like you're just editing into a vacuum. And thank you for putting a good article up! --Dvyost 16:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Dharmasastra

Thanks for your message. I changed few words. I think the article is ok and it should continue. Over a period of time it would mature. By the way, I have put my comments in the discussion. See you again. --Bhadani 10:12, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Reference

Hi, Can you add a reference for this edit using {{inotes}}? Template:Inotes and add a link to in the reference section. View this comment in edit mode for an example. Thanks. Pamri • Talk 10:42, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for adding that. The actual quote was from Angus Maddison, who has done an interesting work on estimating GDP figures for most of the countries in the world. I was a bit concerned, the figures mentioned are over a very large time period, but have managed to fit in with the 2nd para of the colonial section. Anyways, I will try to search for the original figures. Thanks for your edits. --Pamri • Talk 12:38, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Sam Manekshaw

Among your recent edits on this article you deleted the sentence "He was also awarded the Padma Bhushan." while adding Category:Padma Bhushan awardees. Did you mean to do that? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Doh! I searched for "

thanks!

Copyvios

I apologise for the copyvios, I have this tendency to paste in chunks of text and then work on rewrites. I will redo the Martha Fineman article. Most of the Hindu Law article is original. The detailed minutae are taken from the statute in most cases or explanations appended to the text. I used material from Paras Diwans, Family Law which might also be the source of the other website.


Update- Re. Martha Fineman Just a few clarifications, my understanding might be wrong but I thought. 1)Copyright laws do not apply to factual information. For instance stating that Lawrence Summers is the President of Harvard cannot be copyrighted. 2) Neither is listing out publications made 3) Textual copyright is one of the hardest to apply. Modifications to a large extent dilute charges of copyright, which include taking from multiple sources or reorganisation. I can dredge up caselaw if you like

This of course may not conform to wikipolicies, so would appreciate feedback

Just saw your message in Machaon's talk page. Why not delete the Vfd request then ? Tintin 20:12, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. What I meant by delete was something like this, but I guess that doesn't matter now. Tintin 15:06, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Re:comment on a user

Thanks for informing. I'll look at his contributions. utcursch | talk 11:17, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Aishwarya Picture

why was the L'Oreal picture reverted to the magazine pic? are we not allowed to put magazine ads? if so then is it ok to change the current Cineblitz pic for another magazine cover? thanks! Mailyn 12:34, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

thanks! I'm trying :) ok I will change to another magazine cover in a bit and I will let you know so you can check it for me and see if it's ok. thanks! Mailyn 12:42, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

ok I've added a new magazine cover. I also added another external link to a fansite that is very informative as it has lots of up to date articles, images and more. I hope this is ok, please let me know!

Mailyn 12:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

better? as in better quality you mean? I think the one I posted is clearer and you can see her face better. could you help? I am not understanding by what you mean. thanks! Mailyn 13:13, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I see what you mean, thanks for taking the time to help! I am not understanding all the rules and regulations yet.

I'm not really good at writing so I decided instead of looking at articles with older or less clear pictures and try to find newer ones but I see what you mean. I'm on my way to lurking around for articles without pics so I can add to those (^_^)

Thanks again! Mailyn 13:36, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

EoI request

Hi, I was wondering if you can please put up a stub for Economy of India in Telegu. Translating the lead should be more than enough. Thanks. Pamri • Talk 06:04, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Oops

Thanks for the heads up. That's what happens when you submit an article in the middle of the night. -- Mwalcoff 23:30, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

India SVG flag

Fixed today

I decided to re-draw the flag today, based on your request. I looked at Flag of India and made the corrections based from it. Zach (Sound Off) 05:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
