Tamilnet

I really have to commend you for the arguments you brought out against why Tamilnet is not RS. To be frank, to make Wikipedia to work what is needed is, people with your caliber more than knee jerk editors who really don’t think through their point of view before editing. But that is the flip side of open source editing, we have to take the riff raf with smart ones like you as a group, but I really do have to say thank you for providing the points so that we could discuss the differences civilly. As you may have seen, I kept out of the discussion as much as possible so that truly neutral people can come to a conclusion. Fore example take a look at Sarathambal article and do let me know whether Tamilnet brings value to the article or not in the talk page Thanks Taprobanus 16:16, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and looking forward to your point of view. Taprobanus 21:06, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have been trying to get people to talk all along and use the wiki process to resolve conflicts rather than indulge in revert wars and personal insults and exposes. It makes us South Asia specific editors look like children infront of others. I know when reasonable people with an open mind like you take a look at the situation, we can all come to reasonable and fair decisions. That is the essence of an experiment in mass democracy called Wikipedia. It is refreshing to see open minded people. Thanks you for your opinion. Taprobanus 14:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sivaji

I have been forced to revert all your changes due to the fact that you have participated in no major discussion before mass redevelopment. Please edit after making a discussion about your plans on either the Talk: Sivaji:The Boss page or the User talk:Universal Hero page. Thanking You. Universal Hero 10:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe there were mass changes being made to the page. Please read WP:OWN. People are going to be edit the article, so your best bet is to discuss on the talk page if you think someone is making an incorrect edit. Please don't just revert everyone's additions, and then re-insert them manually, since that is just wasting time. Also, it seems like you added back all the changes I had initially made to the article. Thanks, and keep up the good work on the article. Nishkid64 (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Skin graft

You have contributed a lot Thank you.I found the article about Skin grafting here http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/31842.html Hence put it up.Harlowraman 21:31, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay. Could you please rephrase it when you put that bit into the article? Readers would be confused when you write that Rajini became "white". You should probably mention his skin disorder, and then introduce the Indiaglitz reference, explaining how the film producers overcame that problem. Nishkid64 (talk) 22:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for protection

Thanks! It was getting tiring watching it keep bouncing back and forth on my watchlist. Hopefully this'll help and force them to work it out instead. -Bbik★ 23:41, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Be sure to let me know, or report to WP:RFPP when the disagreements are resolved, or the discussion has stopped. Thanks, Nishkid64 (talk) 23:45, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. Though I'm far more curious to see if discussion will even start. -Bbik★ 00:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Hi Nish, Thank you for your comments at my RfA. Let me know if I can help you and feel free to let me know if I mess up anywhere. Cheers. Shyamal 03:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of posting on Haelstrom's page

Hi User:Haelstrom and thanks for your e-mail to me directly rather than on wiki. To clarify, I'm not an administrator on this project, or though I like to think I am a relatively seasoned editor. I will review your comments and the actions of User:RandomHumanoid and User:Nishkid64 if you wish, and certainly make a comment here. However I would say that your e-mail address incorporting "randomhumanoidsucks" is not a great start. Please remember WP:CIVIL is a policy that I presonally feel WP:IAR does not apply to. I wish you the best when your block ends, and will add a comment when I have reviewed the situation. I have copied this post to both the other editors for transparency.

Review of Joshua A. Norton

In general, I thought that this article was quite good. You have managed to write a clear, full portrait of a rather obscure historical figure - nice work. Here are the things that I think you might need to address before the article can become an FA:

  • General issues:
  • The biggest problem that I see in the article is that it has a bit of an "in-universe" feel to the writing. I am not sure that we should be presenting the article from Norton's perspective, as it were. So, for example, I do not believe that he should be called the "Emperor" in the article, I believe that he should always be referred to as "Norton."
  • The lead is not a standalone summary of the article per WP:LEAD: "The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, summarizing the most important points, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describing its notable controversies, if there are any. The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic according to reliable, published sources."
  • Is there speculation on what his mental condition might have been? Usually biographers and historians like to try and guess those sorts of things.
  • MOS kinds of issues:
  • Don't link individual years per WP:DATE unless they are linked to some specific page. Although the policy says "some people feel this way" and "some people feel that way," at FAC I've only ever seen "don't link individual years."
  • I was recently informed that people with dyslexia have a hard time reading large blocks of italics. You might want to consider de-italicizing your blocked quotes. (I had italicized my blocked quotes as well.)
  • All of your footnotes should be cited in exactly the same way. There are some inconsistencies right now. Also, please italicize the titles of all newspapers and books.
  • Sources - not all of your sources appear to be reliable. Can you get this information from other places?
  • Patricia E. Carr. Emperor Norton I: The benevolent dictator beloved and honored by San Franciscans to this day. American History. Retrieved on 23 April 2007. - Looks a little sketchy once you go back to the home page. Not really clear what the page is. It definitely looks self-published.
  • Dakers, Hazel (April 6, 2000). Benjamin Norden (1798-1876). Southern Africa Jewish Genealogy. JewishGen.org. Retrieved on September 18, 2006. - This looks like it might be self-published, too.
  • Kit and Morgan Benson (1 January 2001). Joshua "Emperor Norton I" Norton (1819 - 1880). Find A Grave. Retrieved on 17 April 2007. - This site is unreliable. Here is a quote from their page: "Who is behind Find A Grave? Well, first of all, you are. Thousands of contributors submit new listings, updates, corrections, photographs and virtual flowers every hour. The site simply wouldn't exist without the 200,000+ contributors." Who's to say that they are right?
  • Joel Gazis-Sax (1998). He abolishes Congress. Retrieved on 24 April 2007. - This also looks like it is probably self-published. (You have several citations from this site.)
  • The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. California Department of Transportation. Retrieved on 18 April 2007. Can you not find this information somewhere a little more reliable? The page, because it lacks an author, does not fill me with confidence, even though it appears to be from the CDT.
  • Examples of Emperor Norton Notes. Wells Fargo History Museum. Retrieved on 19 September 2006. - This site seems to be a conglomeration of self-published contributions - see here. Can you not get the notes form the Museum site itself?
  • Asbury, Herbert (1933). The Barbary Coast. Garden City Publishing Company, Inc. - Please note that the site says "adapted from" the book. I suggest you find the book or make that clear in the citation.

If you want to paste this review somewhere more convenient, feel free to do so. I hope that it helps. I didn't really have that much to say. Awadewit | talk 08:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
