Hi Ravichandar. Influence of the Indus Valley civilization on Ancient Tamil Nadu, an article you created, redirects to History of Tamil Nadu#Pre-historic period. I noticed that this revision made it to DYK. It is an interesting read and it is a shame it isn't in the mainspace. Going through the talk page I also noticed that there was no consensus in redirecting the article. So why is it a redirect? Am I missing something? Suraj T 06:14, 17 February 2012 (UTC) reply

For some reason your Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Nawa-I-Barakzayi District/1of this article was not transcribed onto the WP:GAR page. I have managed to get it transcribed just now and contacted the major editor and the reviewer so any issues can be dealt with. AIRcorn  (talk) 03:39, 24 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Adirampattinam, Pattukkottai taluk. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Adirampattinam. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Adirampattinam - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. tausif 06:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Wesley Church, Chennai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mschilz20 ( talk) 06:34, 22 March 2012 (UTC) reply

H Ravi, there was some discussion here a couple of years ago when Raja of Panagal became a GA. It appears that the Shanmukham source to which you referred remains offline. I note that you said then that you have a copy. Is that still the case? Is there any chance of emailing or briefly uploading it somewhere? I am wanting to tidy up Velama (caste) and it looks like this may be a useful source. I know that there is a general history of the Justice Party - here - and I am hoping to get hold of a copy of that at some stage also because the Velama name seems to crop up quite frequently in it. Thanks! - Sitush ( talk) 08:43, 27 March 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi! The FAR for Chennai (review at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Chennai/archive2) has been ongoing for a while, and could use some comments to help wrap it up. Would you mind revisiting your comments on the page, and perhaps entering an opinion as to whether the article should be kept or delisted? Thanks! Dana boomer ( talk) 14:00, 12 April 2012 (UTC) reply
