How to make redirects appear green to you

Here is a trick to make redirected wikilinks stand out by turning them green instead of blue! This is especially useful when working on navigation aids like lists and outlines, where you need to be sure a link leads to where it says it links to. This quick and easy solution uses customized CSS:

Go to your Preferences, click on the "Appearance" tab, and click the "Custom CSS" to the right of the skin you use. It opens a page to edit, and you can add the following code (just copy and paste it):

	.mw-redirect {
		color: #006633;
	}
	.mw-redirect:visited {
		color: #009900;
	}
	.mw-redirect:hover {
		color: #990000;
	}
	.mw-redirect:active {
		color: #990000;
	}

Save the page, and reload (bypass your browser cache) and/or (Purge) the Wikipedia server to force the new CSS to be included. All redirects will now show up as green links! If you prefer a different color, you can modify them by using six-digit hex codes.

Fair use rationale for Image:2006_AVMeiyappan.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2006_AVMeiyappan.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 21:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:Bhaktaprahlada.jpg

I have tagged Image:Bhaktaprahlada.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD closure for A M Nair

Hello, I was just letting you know that when you closed A M Nair's afd discussion, it wasn't closed properly and broke the formatting for the day's afd log page. I redid the afd page using the at and ab tags which made it work properly. I think what happened is that when you accidentally used the at template at the bottom, you corrected it by adding the ab template but did not remove the code that the incorrect at template left behind. Anyway, I thought I would let you know if you encounter the issue again. Thanks.--Finalnight (talk) 19:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Request for Oversight

Hi!How are you? I just wanted to make a request . Would it be possible to remove the edits with the abusive and racist language used by NisarKand's sock [2], [3],[4], [5] and the related discussion on User:EncMstr's talk page [6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15],[16],[17]. The issue, I feel, is very much resolved and User:EncMstr has archived the discussion. So, I feel that there is no reason for these edits to remain. Also, the exchanges I had with EncMstr and NisarKand appear in Google Search results [18]. I never wanted such a thing to happen. I also wish to mention here that NisarKand's activites are prohibited as per IPC and PPC sections 499 and 504.-Ravichandar _{My coffee shop} 02:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't see how they fall under RFO, it's just a person swearing. If you are worried about google can you ask EncMstr if he can blank that part of the archive for you. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of T. Muthuswamy Iyer

A tag has been placed on T. Muthuswamy Iyer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mazeau (talk) 17:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Too many capitals

Please. See my recent edits to Randor Guy and T. Muthuswamy Iyer. Wikipedia:Manual of Style clearly says there shouldn't be so many capital letters. The first letter in a heading is capitalized; so are other letters if there's a proper noun or similar reason to capitalize, but you shouldn't make an initial letter capital merely because it's in a heading.

Iyengar citation

Hi Ravichandar,

I noticed that one of the citations "kalai" is missing in the above article. Since I see that you have extensively contributed to this article, can you sort this out. I have no much expertise in that subject area. Cheers Wiki San Roze^†αLҝ 13:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I'm doing OK and bogged down with work after I took one more reponsibility. Porbably an excuse for not contributing enough to wiki. All I do these days is to check my watchlist and revert changes or comment on them, if they need such actions. Looks like am not as good as you in managing my time. :D Wiki San Roze^†αLҝ 14:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Theagaroya Chetty.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Theagaroya Chetty.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 15:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
