Ona Kantheeswarar Temple

Hello ,
I was checking your WP:WAM articles. Very very very well done. Could you check orphan tag in this article Ona Kantheeswarar Temple, I have marked it as pending for now, as I personally feel "orphan" on Wikipedia is not a serious issue, and can be fixed. Perhaps, you can check?
Good wishes. --Tito Dutta (talk) 19:28, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

@User:Titodutta - There is a lag in AWB - i have got these linked earlier, but still showing up - i have created secondary links and removed the orphan tag. I just got my power and internet back - was floating in floods in Chennai for the past 4 days. Please check these back at your convenience.Ssriram mt (talk) 03:45, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
Thanks a lot - we should be back to normalcy soon.Ssriram mt (talk) 08:55, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pattukkottai, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manora Fort. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Kasi Viswanathar Temple, Kumbakonam. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:46, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

@Diannaa - the worship practises are the same in all South Indian Shiva temples. The quoted Shiva temple is one of the series of 276 temples classified as Paadal Petra Sthalam. The quoted content are my contributions in other pages as well. It is similar to demographic data - as the numbers alone would vary with cities, so are the timings and/or festivals in worship practises.Ssriram mt (talk) 16:15, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi Ssriram mt and thank you for the explanation. The material showed up on a bot report here as being a copyright violation. While it is not technically required for you to give attribution when copying your own prose from one article to another, it's probably a good idea, so that patrolling administrators will not have to hunt through the history of the source page to find out who wrote it.

Editor of the Week : nominations needed!

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Chhinnamasta: Wikipedia:Peer review/Chhinnamasta/archive1

Hi Ssriram mt.. I hope you are doing well ... The article Chinnamasta was recently expanded for a potential FAC. IMO, Chinnamasta will benefit from your review. Chinnamasta is a self-decapitated Tantric goddess, who holds her severed head in her hand and drinks blood from her wound.--Redtigerxyz Talk 17:43, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I have addressed your comments. Kindly take a look. --Redtigerxyz Talk 06:50, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Alvar or Alwar or Azhwar

I thought three spellings of Alvars. There is no consistency in the spelling (Alvar or Alwar or Azhwar). IMO all articles in wikipedia should have the same spelling. Currently, the main article Alvars as well as most of individual Alvar articles use Alvar. I want to create move discussion to move all these article to a standard spelling. What is your take on this.--Redtigerxyz Talk 15:49, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Bingo - was just thinking about renaming. As per Tamil diction, it is "zha" - so IMO Azhwars should be the spelling. Please create a move discussion.Ssriram mt (talk) 15:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
I was searching the net; it seems Alvar is the most popular
There is a Tamil word called Alvar, which translates to ruler. Most of the authors leaving a few are not of Tamil origin and have used Alvar and may not be aware of its meaning. The Azhwar prefix names are mostly common names (like Pei, Bhoothath, Nam), which when taken with Alvar gives altogether a different meaning.Ssriram mt (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Moving the discussion to Talk:Alvars#Alvar_or_Alwar_or_Azhwar. Please share your views there.Redtigerxyz Talk 18:13, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa - I remember we had the discussion earlier. The temples in the Divyadesam list have similar worship and festive practices. I have indeed attributed the reference "contents replicated from Govindaraja Perumal Temple". All the references quoted are verifiable to both the parent and the new page. The contents of legend and religious importance are the same for 4 temples in Kanchipuram and that is also highlighted. I have added contents for all the parent pages from where it is sourced.Ssriram mt (talk) 16:18, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Kallazhagar Temple

Have you copied material into this from other articles? Because without clear attribution it's copyvio. I thought it might be copyvio from other sourced but maybe not. Doug Weller talk 19:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi User:Doug Weller, i have split pages between the village article of Azhagar Kovil and that of the temple Kallazhagar Temple - i have provided attribution in the edit summary (contents separated from Alagar Koyil, the village and the temple). Also, most of the original contents and references in parent article was included by me.Ssriram mt (talk) 04:27, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
It wasn't clear. "Copy/paste from this article" would be clearer, and please start a new talk page and use the template mentioned above. For talk pages also add {{talk header}} Thanks. Doug Weller talk 13:03, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Contest

Hi, are you entering the contest or not interested in the prizes? If you want to win something they have to be entered into Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon/Entries. If not that's fine as it is. The Habitats section of the National Park article though still has some unsourced paragraphs. Other than that they'll be approved!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:23, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

While you are welcome to re-use licensed content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s).

Let me know if you have any questions. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:37, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

@Diannaa - I moved the lead to the Geography section and added reference. I see it has been added by another editor and much before the edit of Chalo Chatu Encyclopedia. Seemingly, the Chalo Chatu version is copied.Ssriram mt (talk) 03:49, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Africa Destubathon

Hi, thanks for your work so far! Can you do me a favour though and always add every entry you do to the main list here as well as the entries page, regardless if yet approved or not as that's the master list of all articles being done. It's just very time consuming for me to be judging the articles, trying to contribute myself and chasing up what people have done and filling it out for people each time. So if you can take care of that this would be a great help, there's some part filled out ones underneath so you just need to add country, article name and then your username.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 03:02, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Hello, why did you remove content in Politics of Tamil Nadu? It looked to be fairly due weight, and was sourced. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 13:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

User:ThePlatypusofDoom - it was a propaganda of a local group and the references are questionable/dubious. There was no mention about the top 3 political parties who have been ruling all through.

Hi, a slight miscalculation with $20 less than should have been for one contestant means than I went a little over budget. Is it OK if I send you $425 rather than $445 so the other prizes winners can get their small amounts?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:00, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Sure, np - $425 is still good :) Ssriram mt (talk) 04:00, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Yeah it was because we had 56 lots not 55, the 56th was the territories/miscell one, so I was missing a 20. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:05, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
No problems at all - it is understandable.Ssriram mt (talk) 14:27, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Is it OK if I send in US dollars, I think you can still convert/buy on Amazon.com using it. It's just I don't feel comfortable working in rupees, worried that I might go overdrawn, it's not a good currency to convert to!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:48, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
