Western ChalukyaThanks for the translation. Is it okay for the Marathi link to remain since you have already provided an English citation?. I am only trying to maintain a clean page and want to make sure it remains English. I think the citation prior to yours isnt in English and is bound to crop up as an issue in reviews to follow. Can you kindly remove the non-English link so as to avoid a revert war.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 17:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I have added the link to the list. Thank you.Vishu123 08:20, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Hi UtcurschThank you for the kind word and constructive advice. I treasure them greatly:). Whenever you have moment, can you help me with in-line citation of the portion I added into "Buddhism in India"? I would greatly appreciate it, even if you could point me in the direction of a good tutorial (I'm looking as well), thank you!Nina Odell 14:14, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
User:BostonMA adminshipSee the following comment please and rethink your decition (it is not fair :( ) [1] --- ALM 18:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC): To Alkivar and all others using #6 as grounds to oppose: I thought I would point out, as Boston has tried to above, that in his answer to No. 6 he says that he opposes deleting articles that need work: As a normal editor, [I] have tended to prefer removing spam and stubbification to outright deletion for bad articles about encyclopedic subjects. As an admin, I think I would tend to avoid deleting such articles. However, I would certainly respect the opinions and actions of admins who choose to delete any article that qualifies for speedy deletion. Perhaps I could be persuaded outright deletion is a better approach than stubbification. However, this is my opinion at the moment.

I take this as an occasion to wish you and your family the best in the days to come on Wikipedia and in real life. May this New Year invigorate you, bringing you more happiness and content. Happy New Year 2007!!! and Happy Wikipediaing -- Amartyabag (Talk) 16:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)|} New year's day presentsTips for the Angry New User. I stole it. Tips for the angry new administrator I wrote it. I want to thank you for all your help and assistance "behind the scenes". I had no idea you were an admin until today, because you're so kind:).Nina Odell 17:40, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Questions I cannot find answers forSeveral items for questions. It seems that on the discussion of "beauty queens" that the people dealing with that project have deemed that State Winners of Mrs. teen USA are worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Perhaps I read the definition of who should be included in Wikipedia. I also think that some of these are minors and cannot find the rules for the age of people to be included in wikipedia. Although beauty pageants may take some effort, I have to wonder if in the long run, this is more wikinews. I have tried to bring this to the attention of some, but thus far have a very unpleasant experience with this. Secondly, when there is someone who has the same name, what is the policy on that? With the proliferation of Mrs. Teen participants from years back, there will begin to be overlap, as I am sure that there already is. I am a teacher who spends a lot of time teaching others how to use wikis and have won the 2006 Edublog Award for best wiki project, and currently have the top teacher blog according to Technorati rankings, so other teachers look to me. I have a google RSS feed of my name and over the holidays was reviewing the information on Wikipedia about another Victoria Davis. It seems if you look at the criteria that even with my accolades, I have only been blogging a year and perhaps would not be considered for inclusion in notable people (and I'm fine with that), however, the same standards need to apply to everyone. Bottom line, I'm feeling that if you have a lot of time on your hands and feel that you want to wage "a war in Wikipedia" which I do not have either desire, that you can ensure fairness, otherwise, those who have a lot of time seem to dominate the information. I will continue to watch my topics of interest, which I guess can no longer include my own name. I have no desire to take on the pageant fanatics but disagree with the inclusion of the teen information at the state level as I have expressed on their forum. It simply doesn't meet your own criteria. Victoria A. Davis 17:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there a method to transwiki this to WikiNews? It would really fit there? (By the way, you are great!) Victoria A.

The problem has now spread to Chalukya page and nobody knows what is being translated accurately and what is not. We really need to get to the bottom of this before English language wikipedia becomes non-English language wikipedia. We really need to bring in a team of participants here who can help us decide what is right for English language wikipedia and what is not. I see this as a growing menace to English wikipedia. I have left a message for Blnguyen also regarding this. thanks.Dineshkannambadi 14:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Use of Snippets as citationHere are some of the the "scholarly" snippets used by user:Vishu123 (user:Mrtag, User:Ithaas) to accurately represent the history of the Rashtrakuta Empire and Western Chalukyas. We need to bring consensus about this also along with Marathi sources, in order to preserve the quality of wikipedia.
If this problem is not resolved, the History of India will a trail of snippets.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 02:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for January 2nd, 2007.

And wish you a very happy new year! - Aksi_great (talk) 14:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Sir, I had added valid English language citation to this page and also tagged the article as flowery with no citaions what so ever. I has added in several [citation needed] tags because there were none to support the claims. All this has been reverted by user:vishu123 without explanation. His answer on the article's discussion page answers for itself. Please advice Vishu123 not to revert valid English language citations.Thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC) Thank you for your considerationThank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. Yours was one of the neutral votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know.

Most recently, it has been recreated, and information on cast and crew have been added. I couldn't find a reliable source for the movie's status and the provided IndiaFM.com link on the article, is, in my oppinion, not enough to support a definite making of the movie ("has been said" sounds like a rumour to me). I added the AfD-footer, but since this is a second-time-candidate for deletion, I'm not sure how to proceed. Could you help me out?

As a Marathi person u should had supported me against him especially when i am talking sense and true. Arent Yadavas of Devagiri our ancestors? If they are kannadiga so are you and me. After spending horus in library looking for books and spending fee hundred rupees all what i have got is insults and ill-comments from Mr.kannambadi and his allias. Still none of Marathi editors are aware of dubious partisan and one-sided books of Mr.Kannambadi. Why is he pampared even if he has a deep hatred against Maharashtrians and he himself has agreed that Yadavas are marathi also see this this. In the Ganagas page he is removing the Shravanbelagola Marathi inscription by giving hillarious explaination of it is already on other page? So why should be on this relevant page? He deleted everything i added in rashtrakutas chalukyas yadavas by imagining that Google books and marathi books are not allowed. I even presented the links to prove that they are allowed and result is i am blocked! Still no one is taking note of his blatant kannada terrorism across the history articles of wikipedia. For instance go to any page made by him and serach for word 'kannada. I am almost thrown out out of all articles by various blocks, silence of marathi editors and inaction by concerned seniors. I have done my duty of trying my best. I have not taken the 'theka' of defending these articles. It is getting on my nerves. I am going to throw my books to kabadi because of these kannambadis in wikipedia. rememebr it is our ignorance which is enabling such kannambadis to ruin our articles. 59.95.39.200 07:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC) PS-Neither i am mahwiki or sarvabhaum. i dont know why u ppl slap me with these allegations? 59.95.39.200 07:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC) thanksThank you for your continued effort on this page to preserve its quality.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 14:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

ur reply.
seunaHi. Thanks for taking so much trouble with this article. Could you continue to update information into the article as you uncover new sources.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 14:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Issue of GangasSir this is the issue with Gangas page. The Gangas have inscribed most of their inscriptions in Kannada and Sanskrit. A few however are scattered inscriptions, mostly by Jain monks. Where was the need by vish123 to create (on the main Gangas page) a seperate paragraph for one Marathi 2 line inscription at the feet of Gomateshwara in Shravanabelagola, when the inscription has already been mentioned and cited by me on the Shravanabelagola page. Is this inscription the defining inscription in Western Ganga History?. I dont think so. Shravanabelagola has provided historians over 800 inscriptions, mostly in Kannada and Sanskrit. There are Telugu/Tamil and even Marwari inscriptions at Shravanabelagola, inscribed by monks, traders and nobility. How does this one inscription warrant the creation of a seperate paragraph for it? Then should we next create a seperate paragraph for Telugu/Tamil/Marwari inscriptions there.? If I have mentioned 2 Kannada inscriptions on the same page, it was for 2 reasons.
In fact I think its better not to "describe" any inscription at all and just stick to literature. To me it seems like vishu123 was trying to do some propaganda and that put me off. I tried to leave comments on my revert edits to explain it already exists in Shravanabelegola page but he got into a revert war. Kannada inscriptions have been found in Jabalpur, Gujarat. So what? do we create a seperate paragraph for each? Makes no sense.Please sort this one out. Looks like we will have to go article by article at at the end of it, it may still be corrupted by some people who dont want to reason.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 14:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC) The Seuna page was created by me long before my interactions with Mahawiki started. This can be verified by the dates on the edits (before you came into picture). There was certianly no political motive behind my actions. Mahawiki and now Vishu have taken a political bend with their edits and made it a huge issue. Where as if you notice, instead of building Maharashtra specific articles (Vakataka, Maratha empire, Marathi etc) they are constantly involved in peeking over the wall into Karnataka related articles. Why cant they keep themselves busy with articles that should be their primary concern? thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC) I read this reply of yours to Vishu123. I am cutting and pasting it for convinience below. If you fully read the book Literary Konkani: a brief history by José Pereira, you'll come to know that by "the rule of the Kannada was overthrown by the Yadavas"[7], he means "the rule of the Chalukyas was overthrown by the Yadavas". You can find many books by non-Kannadiga/non-Maharashtrian authors which will tell you that Yadavas used three languages -- Kannada, Marathi and Sanskrit; Marathi became dominant in the later part of the dynasty. Have a look at this book, for example -- "Later dyansties ruling in what is called Maharashtra (Rashtrakutas, Yadavas) were Kannada-speaking and used Kannada in their inscriptions (along with Sanskrit) up to the eve of the Muslim conquest. By that time, they had begin to patronize Marathi, and Marathi phrases or lines were beginning to appear in their inscriptions...". Even Maharashtrian authors such as C M Kulkarni have stated that "Yadavas belonged to the Kannada Stock and their home province was Karnataka" (read Studies in Indian History, if you can find it in a library -- the [http://www.books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC02119119&id=s_McAAAAMAAJ&q=yadavas+devagiri&dq=yadavas+devagiri&pgis=1 Google book version is not fully viewable). My reply If you read the last version of my edits on Seuna page going back sometime in Sept/Oct I think, you will see the same info there, that Marathi became popular and saw an ascendency from the later part of the rule of Seuna. So my sources after all are not fanatics.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Similarly with the Rashtrakutas. If Vishu123 claims that some small chiefdom in Vidharbha patronised Maharashtri Prakrit and one Rashtrakuta king "liked" Maharashtri prakrit and hence warrants an inclusion in the Rashtrakuta page, should'nt Kannada be included in the Maratha empire page knowing the Marathas ascribed may inscriptions in Kannada (I can provide citations) in various parts of Karnataka they controlled for some time. They have also probably written records in Telugu and most defenitely in Tamil as the Marathas controlled large parts of Tamil Nadu., some of who remained chieftains later after the fall of the Maratha Empire. Should'nt all these languages be included too in the Maratha page. Vishu123 has created a political issue that has no limits and only serves to ruin every article on Indian History.Indian history is possibly one of the main contributions to wikipedia from Indians and we need to resolve this issue ASAP. This is why I have been maintaining that only the main languages of administration (on a mass scale and especially in the capital), main languages of literature/poetry should be accounted for. Or there is no end to it. Lets consider the Western Chalukyas page where Vishu again politicised it. He dug some info an a few Marathi poems written in a Sanskrit work (and you took the trouble to dig up an English equivalent for it, thanks) and has been insisting on adding a Marathi language link to the article. Is this required in the article. Telugu was already a mature literary language by this time and given the proximity to the Western Chalukya kingdom I would not be surprised at all if there were a few Telugu scholars in the court (I have no such info right now). Are we going to add tiny lines of info on Tulu /Marathi/Konkani/Telugu/Tamil scholars who visited or wrote in the chalukya court or focus on the major languages of literature, Kannada and Sanskrit. This is going out of control.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
