---- == Sig == Can you make your sig close the </font> tags? The colour bleeds in mozilla, otherwise. User:Morwen - User_talk:Morwen 07:46, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC) :I didn't know this was happening. I thought I'd save some characters in my sig by not closing it. I've closed it now. =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 07:53, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) ::I guess you're using an old version of Mozilla. 1.0.4 Firefox does not have this "bleeding". =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 07:55, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) == Sockpuppet? == When you see a potential sockpuppet in a vote, the usual approach is to add a short note under their vote, along the lines of "* User has five edits.". Usually, that means their vote will be discounted by whomever closes the discussion. Yours, User:Radiant!User_talk:Radiant!>|<">meta:mergist 10:12, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) :Thanks for the info =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 10:18, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) == Flag of india == i wanted to change the picture of the flag. but i do not know how to change it. so if u can please change the pic. thanks - kaushik :Kaushik, you'll have to create an account before you upload an image. To change an image simply upload an image of the same filename. I wanted to change it but am not sure of the ''chakra''. =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 13:56, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) ==Chhattisgarh== Hello "Nichalp" - the vehicle plate symbol for Chhattisgarh is CG, I beleive so - based on a tele-talk right now with a person at Chennai who had been to Chhattisgarh, and he told me: CG. I have never been to Chhattisgarh myself. I will further confirm after collecting more exact information. --User:Bhadani 15:49, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Thanks for the info. =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 17:31, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) == FAC voting == Thanks for reminding. I'd noticed Indian Railways FAC, but I usually time my vote such that with my vote and the associated comments, I try to answer critics. Any way, I've voted as noone might oppose this great article. :-) -- 03:50, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) == Template:India states == Hi Nichalp. doesn't start counting from 15 from Maharashtra at the head of the second column. I don't know how to correct it. Please take care. -- 05:49, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) :See :Image:TemplateIndiaStates.png. Looks like a browser issue. Never mind as noone else in the world would be using Konqueror. :-) -- User:Sundar 09:27, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) P.S. Delete the temporary images as soon as you see them. They're otherwise a load on our disks. :I've deleted the images. By the way, take a look at Jewish POV Talk:Mahatma Gandhi. -- User:Sundar 09:38, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) == Unity of thought == User talk:Nandakumarg -- 09:21, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) == Gandhi == Oh thanks. I was only concerned about the factual correctness. -- User:Sundar 10:34, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) ==Papua New Guinea== A few days ago, you removed the nomination of Papua New Guinea. You stated on the talk-page of the IP who nominated it that it was not up to the standards. I can see the intro is too short, so I agree. Did you notice anything else that needs to be done?--User:Fenice 11:32, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Commons admin == Hi there, we haven't spoken before, but you know my boyfrind User:Chameleon. I was wondering who can and can't vote on the Admin nominations on Commons. I noticed you are an admin there, which is why I'm asking you. Please let me know as I was hoping to nominate myself today. Thanks, --Silversmith">User:Silversmith User Talk:Silversmith 14:38, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Thanks a lot, see you around! --Silversmith">User:Silversmith User Talk:Silversmith 15:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) ::Ok, I've finally bitten the bullet - [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Administrators/Requests_and_votes] Thanks for the help again, --Silversmith">User:Silversmith User Talk:Silversmith 21:07, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Flag images == I made them. User:PZFUN 19:11, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) ==Geography articles== I posted your suggestions to the talk-page of Papua New Guinea. You seem to have quite a clear concept of what a country-article should look like. Many of the country articles here need improvement badly, long before tiny PNG does, look at Brazil for instance. I thought you might be interested in founding a geography collaboration? Something like a biweekly geography workshop.--User:Fenice 09:01, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Yes, I have critiqued a few country and city articles in the past in WP:PR and WP:FAC. I agree with you that country article should be given a higher priority. I don't think I can be committed to a geography collaboration. I am willing to lend my ideas, but contributing and taking care of them will take up a lot of my time. I write India-related featured articles, and since I am usually the only one contributing to the material, it takes up most of my time. Regards, =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 13:25, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC) == India page images == An anon User:130.237.79.106 had been replacing the images on the India page. I had messaged him yesterday, but after receiving no response after two warnings I blocked him. He emailed me saying that the images were too balanced in favour of North India. Since I had selected the images, I checked the list. # Taj is from N. India # Gumpa dance is fron NE India; Sikkim # Goa temple is from W India # Sanchi stupa is from Central India # Infosys is from S. India # Himalayas, Vishnu, and Holi can be replaced by more representative images. What do you think? I think its balanced. =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 09:31, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC) :It is well balanced. Unfortunately, some of us South Indians mistakenly see everything to the north of us (including the west and north-east) as North India. Perhaps you can add Pongal to the list of secular Indian festivals and Onam to the list of Hindu? festivals to balance the culture section. Please note that I do not seek to place images of any of these. -- 09:40, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC) ::Thanks, I've added Pongal (though it doesn't seem to fit in with Hindu festivals). You could try and NPOV things over. =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 09:50, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC) :::I've reworded it a bit, but still not sure if Pongal should be mentioned there. One argument in favour of having it is because it is a nearly true secular festival. Otherwise, there is no way it merits a special mention considering we left out so many regional festivals. -- User:Sundar 10:02, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC) Hi, Would you please add Diwali image instead of the holi image? The image I tried to add, and you reverted is licenced. I think for an image of that size, the arrangement of lamps looks a lot better and represents Diwali better than a thumbnail of pictures showing people having good time. I really think the diwali image is very good. (maybe have to be resized a bit.) I think Diwali should make either sides happy. User:IndiBoy 09:53, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) :Having a free image is mandatory for featured articles. You can take a photograph during this Diwali and then upload it under . We'll be happy to put that one. -- User:Sundar 10:02, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC) But the image IS free. Is it not? User:IndiBoy 10:09, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) == My RfA on Commons == Hi, thanks for your support, I really appreciate it! --Silversmith">User:Silversmith User Talk:Silversmith 11:33, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) :You're welcome. :) =Nichalp">user:Nichalp �Talk�=">User Talk:Nichalp 13:07, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
