Dear Mr Amar, The initial one line write up on Sargur has been expanded with lot of referenced text. Will you please add the text on demographics? You may also like to edit and add more text. I can't add any pictures since I have yet to understand the nuances of uploading photos and obtaining no objections from copy right angle.I am in the process of finaliising an artcle on Sosale which I will upload next week.Regards Ys--Nvvchar (talk) 07:24, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Dear Mr Amar, I am impressed with your contributions on Karnataka for wikipedia. Keep it up.
I have now combined Tirumakudlu Narasipur and T.Narasipur articles since T.Narsipur is the offical name (and is also the taluk headquarters)of the town as per official records.Since I am not very proficient in computer usage I have not been able to add pictures of Tirumakudlu and the Gunjanarsimha Swamy temple.I tried butthe pictures have been deleted on copy right issue.
I hail from T.Narsipur and I am a retired Technocrat of Central govt. I am still very active providing consultancy in the hydropower sector, operating from Delhi.
You may like to read my very long article on "All About Saligrama" on wikirage edited by Gouranga of UK.
I visit Bangalore frequently and I will be happy to meet you when I am there next to pursue my efforts at conributing articles to wikipedia.
If you wish, you may give me your contact tele nos. and e-mail address. Keep up your good work Best wishes N.V.V.Char —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvvchar (talk • contribs) 05:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Mr Amar, I have now added all the internal links in the T.Narsipur article. I suppose it is Ok now.I tried to add an article on Iyengar Bakery but unfortunately it has been deleted as propogandist material. How do I go about removing the propaganda part of the article to make it acceptable to wiki standards? I feel, that it is very informative article.Thanks.

Amar, would you mind adding the peer review scripts to the article talk pages instead? The automated script can be helpful, but its feedback isn't always accurate to each article; while it's useful at peer review, it could be misleading at FAC. Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I have filed a case here, I just listed myself an Dbachmann as the involved parties, because I was unsure how to do it, if you would also like to be listed as an involved party and make a statement, please feel free to add your name and statement. futurebird 20:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to ask you regarding WT:INB. Do you have something to add? I've gone through major analysis of what the majority opinion/general reception for each of her performances is, and implemented some reviews on the article too. If you have nothing to add so thanks anyway. Because I think it turned beneficial eventually, to prevent any such concerns in the future.
Although there were some tense vibes between us, I wish you all the best with the Mysore article. Nice article on a nice city. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 23:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I have left some replies to your comments at the Hindu German Conspiracy FAC Please have a look.Rueben lys (talk) 12:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments on the Somerset FAC which I believe have now been addressed. It would be great if you could reassess the article & put any further comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Somerset.— Rod talk 20:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Amarrg. First of all, a lot of thanks for your efforts as well as comments in the Hindu-German Conspiracy FAC which unfortunately did not work out. However, I worked through article quite a lot today, taking into account Sandy's comments, and think I have done a (half-)decent job editing it. Do you reckon you will have time to look at the article some time and give me some more comments on where it might fall short on an FAC. I gathered language was the main (if not only) problem that stopped it from getting promoted. I plan to renominate it sometime soon. RegardsRueben lys (talk) 00:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Here are some passages on Anti-Hindi imposition-
In the late fifties, anti-Hindi protestors took to the streets protesting the changing of name of All India Radio (AIR) to Akashwani. Tamil artistes refused to perform in AIR till the government agreed to retain the original name as a special case in Tamil Nadu alone.
Many years later, the name was again changed to Akashwani in 1982, but dropped in a hurry due to protests.
Source:Sify news
Indian Government controlled All India Radio (AIR) started using the Hindi word Akashwani on the air. Tamil people demonstrated against this. Tamil writers and performers refused to participate in radio programs. Indian Government decided to use the old name "All India Radio" in Tamil Nadu (Maras State) while Akashwani was used in other states. (NOTE: Indian Government started using Akashwani in Tamil Nadu again in 1982. Tamil people demonstrated and government went back to All India Radio again.
Source:Tamil Tribune: Chronology of Anti- Hindi movements
So even if it was Na Kasturi who coined it, he did it in Hindi, I suppose. 59.182.44.93 (talk) 17:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Akashvani was a kind of an all-India name and trademark for All India Radio and the word had been taken from Kannada where it was originally used for the Mysore Station during the British days.
- The term 'Akashvani' is the standard Indian language equivalent to the term All India Radio and is the call sign in Kannada of the former Mysore radio.
- The word Akashvani had been taken from Kannada (where it was the name originally given to the Mysore station from the British days onwards)
Hi Amar,
Congrats!! Great job done!!! Thank you - KNM Talk 17:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Congrts on that effort. Hope there are more to come.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 12:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome! I was willing to support the FAC but forgot about it. When I came to the article (there was no star yet), the talk page indicated that it is already an FA (not that my support was necessarily needed). I'm really happy for you, keep up the great work.:) Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 12:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Congrats on Mysore -hard work paid off!! I wasn't aware of the nomination thats why I didn't offer my comments/ Well done! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 18:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Would it be possible for you to re-evaluate Somerset. Your oppose is the only one outstanding at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Somerset and the article has undergone some significant changes since you last commented on it, nearly a month ago. Of course if you feel there are still outstanding issues if you let us know we will attempt to address them. Thanks.— Rod talk 13:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately there has been a problem with FAC (possibly due to transcluded pages/templates & overall page size). As a result several nominations, including Somerset, have had to be restarted and I have been informed that all previous commentary (both supporting and opposing), including yours is void. As a result would you be kind enough to review the page and place any comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Somerset. Thanks— Rod talk 19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Removing relevant tags prior to consensus has been reached constitutes vandalism, and again, this is a Wikipedia policy. I have reverted your revert, as the tags are relevant, and the onus is on the editors who want the tags removed, to demonstrate why they should be removed as has been indicated by an administrator on another editor's page. Please refrain from removing tags in the future, unless they are obviously irrelevant, which isn't the case here. I have also briefly outlined why the tags are relevant, currently. Thanks - Ncmvocalist (talk) 08:17, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Re your edit summary to the Brad Hogg retirement update. Ask Ganguly what he thinks. You'd think he would have retired before the Indian series if they were "too hot to handle". I think you need to use a bit more civility. The-Pope (talk) 12:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
If you can indicate to me how a source which does not demonstrably meet the reliable sources threshold can be considered to be a reliable source, then I would say that I have shown bias. However, to go so far as Sarvagnaya did and calling the placement of the tags "vandalism" is itself more than a bit inappropriate, isn't it? And, for what it's worth, it wasn't an attempt to lecture, but just explain the justification for restoration. Personally, what I see is, unfortunately, more of a likely failure to AGF on your part than anyone else here. John Carter (talk) 13:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have relinked the image uploaded by Roshan to Mysore as it is available now.
Hope you dont mind ! - Tinucherian (talk) 08:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
There is clear evidence that shows you fail to assume good faith now. Please stop harassing me with your nonsensical claims and other attacks. Btw it wasn't a matter of pleading - most of the administrators could obviously see straight through what you were doing. And maybe if you stopped harrassing me, I could spend that little time I am on Wikipedia to work more on the articles I've begun. And btw, please don't expect a reply to your next comment on my talk page (if you make one) as I have better things to do. I shouldn't bother interacting with the group of trolls.
