User talk:Malaiya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Welcome
Hello, Malaiya, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".
If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.
Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! - Nat Krause 11:31, 6 October 2005 (UTC), (Talk!)
[edit] Jainism
I have removed the tag from the article and the reasoning behind submission of the article for deletion is completely baseless. So I think, other users wouldnt mind me removing the tag before the AfD process was over. If the user still continues to vandalise the page, I will ask for an adminstrator's help over the issue. Also pl sign yr comments by typing ~~~~ . Thanks for yr contributions to Wikipedia. Cheers --Deepak|वार्ता 03:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The great Karnataka Expansion
Are you Y. Malaiya, who put the "permission" comment at the top of the page? What does that mean? "permission" is a violation of the GFDL, which all Wikipedia articles must meet. Did you copy this material from somewhere else? User:Zoe|(talk) 02:26, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
I am myself the original author of note that was earlier posted in another forum
[edit] Some thing more about yourself
Hi,
May be you want to put a link to your homepage, if you do not want to duplicate all the data.

[edit] stub related to jainism
Malaiyaji,
I have requested to create a stub related to Jainism. and probably use http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/60/Jainism_logo.png as its logo. If you have access to any copyright free, smaller and cleaner logo, it can be used. as we expand it to more articles, is required to take an invetory of existing articles and tag them with {stub} if they need to be expanded. Chirags 18:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
--
Thanks. I was thinking about getting a stub creating, but did not know the procedure.
Yes, we need a nice image. I had created the one you mention a few years ago by editing at the pixel level, thus it has somewhat jagged edges. Let us see if we can get a new one. --Malaiya 00:47, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Unexplained edits to Maratha articles
Dude please discuss the article before editing it in a drastic manner. What do you mean by that "they are currently devout Hindus?" Aslo Quote: just like the 96 clans of Marathas, there are 36 clans of the Rajputs, who mainly live in Rajasthan, Gujarat and nearby regions. There are some connections between the two groups. Among the Rajputs, the Rathores and the Solankis originated from the Rashtrakutas and Chalukyas from Latur
Well i'm a Maratha myself. And it has been established that Rathores and Rashtrakuts and Solankis and Chalukyas are entirely different. Yes all of them have contributed to Maratha gene pool but you've changed the article to your Kannada POV. Please refrain from POV edits in future and discuss them beforehand. अमेय आरयन AMbroodEY 15:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jain portal
If you want to edit a portal subpage you have to refresh a portal page as well (do a small edition on a portal page, after your edition on a subpage). I reverted your change because we should use only existing categories (Like Category:Jains). CU! V1t 02:40, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hi
Hi, just to say I liked your latest contribution to the Talk-Page of Maratha. Also, to suggest that you could improve your userpage by adding links to your contributions etc. Regards, ImpuMozhi 15:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jodhabai
Hi, just noticed that you have put some of the text in the above article in the invisible mode. That can be perceived as vandalism and could get you blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you question the factual content in an article, please edit the article providing appropriate references or discuss the controversies on the article's talkpage. Please make the text visible if you have made it invisible in any other article. TIA, --Gurubrahma 06:54, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- If you search for Jodhabai on google, you will get more number of hits. You may have checked the genealogy, but, ther could be another Jodhabai? Given that Jodhabai is considered by many as Akbar's wife, you may mention a rider in the article that it could be factually inaccurate and mention your sources. You can also discuss this at length in the article's talkpage. Else, people will keep reverting your changes as Jodhabai, in popular portrayal, remains Akbar's wife. --Gurubrahma 07:26, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Diwali in Jainism
Hi Malaiya, Diwali is the current WP:INCOTW and the Jainism section of the article needs improving. Knowing that it is a very significant day in Jainism, perhaps you would want to expand and write the section better because I am hoping to FA this soon. Thanks DaGizzaChat © 12:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rajput
Malaiya, Long time no edit on rajput. If you have time can you expand vansha and cula? Shivraj Singh 18:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 1% for major edits and 100% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 1 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Ghantaghareasts.jpg
 |
|
Thanks for uploading Image:Ghantaghareasts.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 12:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirects
Malaiya avare, I have created the Rajputs and Indian secularism page and redirected two of your articles, Rajputs and Buddhism and Rajputs and Zoroastrianism to that page. I hope you approve of this merging and structuring. Let me take this opportunity to tell you how much I admire and appreciate your work on the Origin of Rajputs page. Regards, ImpuMozhi 05:22, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your absence
Malaiyaji, I have grown to greatly admire your contributions to Wikipedia and am disappointed to note that you have not made any edits for several weeks now. Hope all is well with you, and that you are not intent upon quitting WP for good. Please drop me a line as soon as you read this, and be assured that you are missed. Your return is eagerly awaited. Regards, ImpuMozhi 02:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your note. I hope to contribute time to time. I had been busy with other things.--Malaiya 21:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Barnstar
-
- Please do continue on WP! Your presence is very valuable. I have long admired your well-referenced and researched contributions. I take this occasion to present you with a Barnstar. I am sure it will prove to be only the first of many. Please accept it and keep up the good work on Wikipedia. Best regards, ImpuMozhi 02:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of some common Hindustani words
Namaste Doctor Saheb. The cogent article you have created (Origin of some common Hindustani words) needs a notice on the article's talk page that copyright authorization had been granted by Yashwant Malaiya This is the reference given by you in the Origin of some common Hindustani words article: "The derivations below are based on posts by Yashwant Malaiya, and are given here by his consent." I know you are probably Dr. Yashwant Malaiya, but some individuals want to have solid proof of this. Thank you very much for your understanding sir. Dhanyavaad. Jdas07 21:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rashtrakuta branchesDineshkannambadi 14:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Please provide your source for this information. I like the content, I just dont see the reference information. Also if possible, please provide full dates for kings not bits and pieces. Any info that is not accompanied with source and defended is not considered valid. That was the reason I removed your branch info earlier during my clean up.
Dinesh Kannambadi
[edit] Removed Rashtrakuta branches69.118.43.252 02:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Dear Sir, I waited for a few days after my previous posting on your user page asking for reference to your "Rashtrakuta branches" section of the page Rashtrakuta. Since I did not get any reply from you, I have gone ahead and deleted it. Please present your reference for this section before posting it again.
Dinesh Kannambadi
[edit] Rashtrakuta branchesDineshkannambadi 00:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for your response and the links you provided. I went thru the matter and got the feeling that apart from "Lata" who are a known branch (later merged into Mayakheta by Amoghavarsha I) these other branches may actually be their descendents. The fact that the Paramaras were of the same Kula as the Rashtrakuta or considered themselves the same Kula does not make them a branch. The Chalukyas of Badami were of same Kula and Gotra as the Kadambas, and hence their descendents, not their branch. Perhaps we should create a seperate main page Template:Main page:Descendents of Rashtrakutas and put all this info there and make a reference to this in one of the sections, the way I have made a main page for "Origin of Rashtrakuta empire" and referenced it in Origin section. You could also try to fill in the dates and make it complete rather than give half sure dates with question marks.

[edit] Rashtrakuta pageDineshkannambadi 13:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry for being so picky about this page. The page has been thru a lot of conflict lately and I am trying to make sure no one can find a reason to tag it. I just wanted you to know that this is the info given by a wiki administrator when discussing a different issue. "Using a Wikipedia article as a reference is circular reasoning and is considered invalid - you cannot cite yourself! " The references you have quoted for Rashtrakuta familes/branches/descendents, are these books you have personaly referenced to or do you have a reference source that refers to these authors and claims? It may not appropriate to use reference info from one page and stick it into another. All the info I have entered are present in the 3 books I own and have referenced. The 3 books are listed in the ref. section. I just want you to re-verify this section on Rashtrakuta descendents/families so as to avoid an edit war at some time in the future when I may not be able to explain the situation well. The Rashtrakuta branch info is ok as it it in my reference book. Sorry for the inconvinience Dinesh Kannambadi
[edit] Thanks a lotDineshkannambadi 18:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your confirmation. Can you possibly find the dates associated with these "Rashtrakuta Families" and put them into the page for completeness. The names of many kings there have no dates associated and that makes it look incomplete and may rise unnecessary Questions. Thanks Dinesh Kannambadi
[edit] Reference booksDineshkannambadi 19:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Please add your reference book(s) to the reference section in the main page for Rashtrakuta. This is important material for the public to see. It may even help some of us understand history better.
Dinesh Kannambadi
[edit] Rashtrakutas
Hi. Someone has started a section on Rashtrakuta descendends in the page "Rashtrakuta". While it makes no sense to discuss about descendents (considering that descendents of various kingdoms are today spread over the whole of India), Please see if you can add a paragraph citing sources like the Rajputs, Rathores etc. Thanks, Dineshkannambadi
