Sorry, I've little access to the net these days and the little time I get to use Wikipedia, I utilize it to create articles on some Indian villages. Yeah, hoping to meet you.

Proposed deletion of Similarities between Tamil and Kannada languages
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Similarities between Tamil and Kannada languages, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Page appears to be original research; it cites no sources. It is simply a list of cognate words in two Dravidian languages. As such it has little information value.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the

- No problem. Ready when you are. Considering we're hoping to get some new nominees for coordinators, with Secisek apparently having bowed out, sooner would probably be preferable to later. John Carter (talk) 00:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Estonia–India relations
Can you help find references fro Estonia–India relations? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Ready for delivery
Considering Secisek seems to have retired from wikipedia, it seems to me to very much make sense that we do try to find someone to replace him as one of the Christianity coordinators. I don't think that will happen unless the members get notification of potential new elections. On that basis, I think it would probably help a lot if the newsletter were delivered shortly. If, for whatever reason, you cannot do so, please let me know and I will try to deliver it manually myself thereafter. Thanks. John Carter (talk) 14:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiCup participates in the Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :)

Re:Newsletter picture
The other day the image did not show up. Now it does show up. Anyhow, I don't see what purpose it is serving there. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 12:00, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- The look and feel is better when there is an image there...instead of just words.. Just wanted an India related image. Would you like to suggest another one? -- Tinu Cherian - 12:09, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ganesh, the same thing happened to me the other day: The images were very slow to load, and the Wikipedia logo wasn't appearing in the left corner. I agree with Tinu Cherian—I've been putting those particular images [1, 2] simply for patriotic eye candy. They're certainly not required. Also, in my opinion, if any user wants his or her photography (of India) featured, the newsletter would be a great place. Thanks, [sd] 01:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Malayalam language films
Hi. I think it is a bad idea splitting the Malayalm language films by year. Even English-language films are not even split. The convention seems to me to place all the films in one category. Was there a specific reason you felt it necessary to split by year? Was the main category really unmanageable? We have

Wake up
Your friend wikireader41 should not be vandalizing actually one would expect this Pro Indian trashy edits like these: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] I request you to open your eyes and stop feeding Indian pov pushers and ignoring there pov and stop targeting Pakistani editors get your house in order first don’t start a pov war and then don’t cry if Pakistanis respond to Indian abusive editors like wikireader41 I request you not to be hypocritical and look at the edits of Indian users first then moan if Pakistanis respond to the Indian pov pushers 81.151.100.91 (talk) 23:54, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

- Why the double standards then User Adilyour made those stupid edits at the start of the year which was 6 months ago actually why is he being abused and picked on by Indians now? why aren’t the Indians punishing wikireader41 who’s still sending out abusive comments like this [9] why do they still abuse Adilyour I shall tell you why because he’s Pakistani well we cant help it if these guys get taught this in American schools which are sadly being infected by exported Indian Hindutva textbooks [10] I will continue to answer back to any wise guy Indian pov pusher like wikireader41 until he’s blocked forever why is he allowed to send abusive edits while if a Pakistani responds it’s a big tragedy If Indians are willing to dish it out abuse like wikireader41 they should also be able to take some and stop moaning peace out 86.158.235.174 (talk) 12:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
- While I dont agree with the above edits of wikireader41, those edits are a long time ago. The user is no friend of mine... Do you expect me to go to every article on Wikipedia to check its NPOV? I havent seen those above edits earlier as the above article is not in my watch list. I have seen Adilyour and Yousaf POV pushing on some articles like State sponsered Terrorism and I've commented on them. You have no idea about my working style on Wikipedia when I have objected some India biased POV in some of the articles.

Category:Malayalam-language films
Why were all the Malayalam-language films removed from all the Malayalam-language films by year categories? Do you know?
- This is a result of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_July_11#Malayalam-language_films_by_year. While my personal opinion was such categories are needed, I respect the consensus. -- Tinu Cherian - 17:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikimedia India
Hi,
Let me introduce myself as an NRI Wikipedian, much interested in seeing the formation of Wikimedia India. It is very important for the growth and promotion of wiki in India (even though its currently very popular, the scope is massive). I understand that this was discussed in the recent Bangalore meetup hosted kindly by yourself. Could u pl. give me an update on the progress made so far? Thanks, Around The Globeसत्यमेव जयते 13:39, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Malayalam films
Hello!! Glad to see there is now a Malayalam film database. There is vast amount of films missing, if I have time I'll help start a few!!
As I've found a site that lists them by year I think I will start lists of films by year like Bollywood and Tamil, after all this is what you were trying to achieve with the categories right? Sorry I opposed your categories by year but I'll give you some help on this, if you want it? Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks Blofeld, I knew sooner or later I will get ur help in this ;).yes, there is a huge lack of articles of Malayalam films ( approximately 3500-4000 ) . Btw can your split the decade list articles to per year for Malayalam films also ? You may want to see http://www.prd.kerala.gov.in/1981.htm too... -- Tinu Cherian - 14:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Yep I will, certianly, I have a lot of cleanup/error fixing errands to sort out at present i'll get to it in a week or two. I did the Tamil films the other day. My only concern is that some of the years seem to be missing like 1970 etc and that the tables are not formatted like the standard ones for Bollywood and Tamil. From what I saw the website starts listing the films from 1961. At present there onyl seems to be a few listed for the 60s so I've red linked from 1970 to present OK? If you could fill out 1970 in the 70s list somewhat I can begin then at 1970 when I come around to it. Keeo up the good work! Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:01, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
