Hi, and thanks for coming to Wikipedia. Please take a close look at my instructions on Talk:A. Raja. Unless you state exactly what you want to change, there is no way for us to help. Please ask me on my talk page if you have questions. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hi eric,

ma. po. si was not involved in the "kumari vidudhalaip poraattam". It was led by nesamony and thanulinga nadar. i have removed it from the article.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

he was involved in the devikulam and peermade agitations, but they both went to kerala anyway--Sodabottle (talk) 18:31, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

mediawiki interface takes sometime getting used to it. but it becomes easy once you get some practice. I suggest you add stuff gradually one line at a time and learn the features one by one (i did the same when i began editing). if you want specific formatting help, let me know, i will do what i can.--Sodabottle (talk) 18:44, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to

talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:45, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply

Photos available in tn govt website are not in public domain. according to indian copyright law, govt retains the copyright of all its works. As we cant upload copyrighted pictures to wikipedia, we cant used them. i have asked the govt archives dept many times to release them to public domain, but have got no answer :-). But the pictures that were published in India before 1950 are in public domain and can be added to wikipedi using the "upload file" link in the left panel. Also the pictures you have taken can be uploaded. In both cases choose a proper copyright tag (for public domain india works it is {{PD-India}}) --Sodabottle (talk) 04:19, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i noticed you are using four apostrophies for signing. The sign syntax is four tildas. (or click the signature icon in the tool bar).--Sodabottle (talk) 17:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Timneu22 · talk 16:54, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great work with Ma Po si pictures Eric. One more step you have to do - documenting the permission. This can be done in two ways a) forwarding the email permission from the family as prescribed here - Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials#Granting us permission to copy material already online or b) Have the family put up a CC 3.0 notice in the blog itself.--Sodabottle (talk) 14:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Ma Po Sivagnanam.jpg, which you've sourced to http://maposi.blogspot.com/2010/08/blog-post_25.html. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the
  CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list
  ) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter
  OTRS pending
  }} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 12:00, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
