'''Miguel Juan Sebastián Piñera Echenique''' (born [[December 1]] [[1949]]) is a [[Chile]]an businessman and politician. He is a member of the center-right [[National Renewal (Chile)|National Renewal]] (RN) party, a constituent of the [[Alliance for Chile]] coalition. He ran for [[president of Chile]] in the [[Chilean presidential election, 2005|2005 election]], losing to [[Michelle Bachelet]] in the runoff election.

Sebastián is the third boy of a family of four brothers and two sisters: Guadalupe, [[José Piñera]] ( a former Minister of Labour under [[Augusto Pinochet]] and noted right-wing pension reformer), Pablo, Sebastián, Miguel (a Chilean singer and family rebel [[http://reportajes.canal13.cl/reportajes/html/Biografias/Reportajes/2004/179835.html]]) and Magdalena. Their parents were Magdalena Echenique Rozas and José Piñera Carvallo, an engineer who worked for [[CORFO]] and was Chile's ambassador to [[Belgium]] and to the [[United Nations]].

I also made a [[WT:INWNB#Plan_of_action_for_INCOTW|post on INWNB]] asking people to spend some more time at INCOTW, hence so much interest in the current week.

Hi Ganesh, I was trying to start from all articles under Category:India. I got to a list of some articles. Then in the second option table, I wrote {{tl|WP India}} for the talk page. But didnt really succeed.
 
==Businesses==
But for the articles already having one of the POI or HOI tags, I think I am succeeding partly. I am managing to add the WP India template but how do I remove the older template? Thanks for helping -- [[User:Lostintherush|<font color="olive">'''Lost'''</font>]][[User talk:Lostintherush|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 06:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 
Piñera is the owner of [[Chilevisión]], a Chilean television channel; a major shareholder of [[LAN Chile|Lan Airlines]], and [[Colo-Colo]] a soccer team; and was a [[board director]] of several major Chilean companies. In an effort to quell criticism of a potential conflict of interests, he voluntarily left the board of many of the companies he owns in order to run for [[President of Chile]] despite this not being a requirement of Chilean law.
:Also I am assessing the unassessed articles right now. Please have a look at some of them and let me know if the assessments match with yours. I wouldnt want to make any wrong assessments -- [[User:Lostintherush|<font color="olive">'''Lost'''</font>]][[User talk:Lostintherush|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 06:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 
According to ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine, Piñera is Chile's third richest businessmen (his fortune is estimated at US$1.2 billion). His wealth is attributed in great part due to his involvement in the introduction of [[credit card]]s to Chile in the late [[1970s]] and his subsequent investments.{{fact}}
::Thanks. I will try the AWB once I am through with the assessments. Will get back to you if it doesnt turn out. I have a request.

Piñera's involvement in politics began in the late [[1980s]] when he openly supported the "No" option against [[Augusto Pinochet]] in the [[1988]] plebiscite. After the return of democracy, Piñera headed the [[1989]] presidential campaign of [[Hernán Büchi]], a former finance minister of the Pinochet dictatorship. During the same election process, Piñera was elected as senator and soon after joined the center-right [[National Renewal (Chile)|National Renewal]] party.
== [[:Category:India maps]] ==
 
On [[May 14]] [[2005]] Piñera surprisingly announced his own candidacy for the [[Chilean presidential election, 2005|2005 presidential election]]. In the first round of the election, on [[December 11]], Piñera obtained 25.4% of the vote which placed him in second place. Since no candidate achieved an [[absolute majority]], a [[Two-round system|runoff election]] was held on [[January 15]] [[2006]] between Piñera and [[Michelle Bachelet]] of the governing coalition. Bachelet won the presidency with over 53% of the vote.
Hi Ganesh, another thing, [[:Category:India maps]] was deleted on 17 August as having no content. I think it should be recreated. Lots of maps of India exist now.

== Using GaneshBot in Bengali wikipedia ==
 
Hi Ganesh,
I noticed that your bot has successfully created a lot of articles on Indian cities. In Bengali wikipedia, we badly lack such articles. From some contributors from West Bengal, we got articles on West Bengali cities, but the rest of India are missing.
 
So, I'm requesting your help in creating articles automatically. I can help you with the templates in Bengali script. Please drop me a message and let me know how we can use your bot in creating these missing articles.
 
Thanks a lot.

:<s>Hi! I noticed that you added a new attribute to accommodate the Kerala portal. What I had in mind was something similar to [[User:Deepujoseph/sandbox4|this]]. See it in use [[User:Deepujoseph/sandbox2#WP_India_tag|here]]. This can prevent the template from becoming cumbersome with too many portal listings.

::On second thought, please ignore my suggestion.

In any case, yes I can understand your frustration. Perhaps if Betacommand and Cyde are willing to open a dialogue with you as to what is possible with the bot code then maybe the template idea placed on the talkpage of the cat would work out.

yes like to help. I looked a little bit and found that some article already exist. I am not admin and cannot merge.

Comma is _much_ more common for cities/towns/villages. Overview should be at [[WP:NC:CITY]]. I am not sure whether comma is really the best, since in general dab is done with brackets. But it has the advantage that one can guess the article is about a settlement. Also avoids conflicts with taluks. I today also saw "X (Indian city)" which is absoultly minority. Can't remember that I have seen this before. Also India is so big that I think the state names are much better than "X, India". [[User:Tobias Conradi|Tobias Conradi]] [[User_talk:Tobias Conradi|(Talk)]] 23:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 
Across country is comma too. IIRC it was only the idea of one person or so, to do it different for India, i.e. to use brackets for X (India). AFAIK no other country uses this. Nevertheless, because India is so big, I favor using the state in the dab, not India. [[User:Tobias Conradi|Tobias Conradi]] [[User_talk:Tobias Conradi|(Talk)]] 23:14, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[[Kadayanallur]] is merged. Pls have a look. For tl and : no bot is need. But maybe for your not-created list, if you need the list.
 
I did [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gudalur&diff=77631105&oldid=77579705] which is closer to [[MoS:DP]] - one link per line. For a redlink a second link would be ok. [[User:Tobias Conradi|Tobias Conradi]] [[User_talk:Tobias Conradi|(Talk)]] 00:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Ganesh,
Thank you a LOT for your help with the database and the bot code for Indian cities. I have now modified it to create Bengali language articles, and also fixed the number issue (i.e. added a function to do the numeral replacements).
 
Right now, we are doing a translation of the city/district names. We decided to start with West Bengal as we have some editors from West Bengal who can write the correct Bengali spelling of the city names. Once I get that done, I hope to run the bot and generate the articles.
 
Thanks once again for sharing the information with us.

== bot ==
 
Hi Ganesh, this is regarding our discussion about a bot account. I was trying to read up stuff about bots and it seems that [[User:Kingbotk]] is doing just the work that we would like to. From what I could gather, we just need a plugin similar to the ones [[User:Kingbotk/Plugin|here]]. But since I dont have any idea about how bots work, I will need your help to get started. Can you guide me on what needs to be done in the technical part? I think I can take care of the permissions part -- [[User:Lostintherush|<font color="olive">'''Lost'''</font>]][[User talk:Lostintherush|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] 13:39, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 
== Mahawiki ==
 
Hi dear Admin,
 
This is to bring to your notice the wiki-feud I've been having with [[User:Mahawiki]] for almost one month now. It started with the [[Belgaum]] page which went to mediation, warnings were handed out to both parties, and when Mahawiki's incivil ways continued, Admin:Bluyugen handed him a warning and then a block. Find that [[User_talk:Mahawiki/Archive/Archive_01#Remain civil | here]].
 
I do not want to turn the clock back and go through all those content disputes again. Infact, I dont want to present to you the details of '''any content dispute''' we've had. All I want to present to you is the brazen incivility and personal attacks being committed by [[User:Mahawiki]] either in the course of his content disputes or even simply just out of spite.
 
All the diffs(exhibiting his incivility and personal attacks) I provide below are from '''AFTER, <U>I REPEAT, "AFTER"</U>. ADMIN BLUGYUEN INTERVENED, WARNED ALL OF US, BLOCKED MAHAWIKI AND SAID [THIS].
 
Please find below dozens of instances of blatant incivility and personal attacks by [[User:Mahawiki]] either on me or on [[User:Dineshkannambadi]] and all [[Kannadiga]]s in general. His remarks are in extremely bad taste and counterproductive resulting in undermining of the good faith efforts of the other editors to carry on editing their articles.
 
While I dont want to go into each and every diff and explain it, just to give you a sample of his incivility, he has made edits where, even if only in jest or sarcasm, he makes atrocious claims like, I am on a '''''kill Mahawiki''''' mission, that User:Dineshkannambadi is the [[Kannada]] (Bin) Laden(sic). In another edit, even if only for jest(which I certainly dont find amusing nor appreciate esp., when it comes from him), he has threatened to '''sue me'''. He has called us ''cultural'' '''TERRORISTS''', losers, notorious, shameless etc., etc. He uses the word vandalism like one would use 'Hi' and 'Hello'.
 
Find all the above and much much much more in the diffs I've provided below. '''Whats worse is his antics are going unchecked because Admin:Blugyen who knows about our feud is on a wikibreak and Admin:Sundar whose intervention I've sought more than once, is busy with other things(I presume, in real life) - which ofcourse, I dont hold against either of them.
 
But wikipedia will be a poorer place if brazen incivility like this goes unchecked for weeks simply because many admins dont know about it or the ones who know are by force of circumstances, too busy to deal with it.
 
I request immediate and harsh action on Mahawiki.
 
Once again, let me remind everyone that in the links below, '''none''' of them pertain to any content disputes. I belive in dealing with the content disputes on the relevant talk pages and dont usually bring it out on user talk pages.
 
Infact, I have even not listed below, the atrocious claim he made a couple of days ago that I had '''deleted and later undeleted''' an article. Also not listed below is his blatant removal of <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tags I had added in a couple of articles without even clarifying or providing a citation for the claim which I had tagged. Also not listed below may be umpteen other instances of incivility and npa violations on his part that I might have missed.
 
'''All the diffs''' below deal '''purely and only''' with his brazen incivil comments and personal attacks not just on me, but on User:Dineshkannambadi and also highly respected historians like Mr. Suryanath Kamath et al(who have been cited in some articles by Dinesh) whom he has trashed and dismissed in the most uncivil manner possible.
 
Apart from this he also makes disparaging remarks on [[Karnataka]] and [[Karnataka]] politicians who he keeps claiming are oppressing and torturing [[Marathi]] speaking people in [[Belgaum]]. This is not a content dispute, this is plain nonsense and insanely belligerent language.
 
His incivility apart, he has made it a habit and a routine to go around all over wikipedia branding me and Dinesh as 'Kannadi' vandals bent on ''Kannadizing'' all articles we touch. Ask him if we have included any uncited material or if we has ever cited any references for his numerous claims or whether he has taken it up on the article talk page instead of on a random user talk page. His answer will be negative. And yet, that doesnt stop him from going around shouting that we have been vandalising articles!!
 
Anway, I dont want to veer this towards the 'content disputes' which is a whole different matter altogether. Content disputes can always be discussed and agreements reached. Let me present to you just his brazen incivility and personal attacks.
 
Here we go -

I suggest using "X, Erode" instead of "X, Erode district". The shorter should be sufficient, because I _assume_ not many X to exist in Erode town _and_ in Erode district. [[User:Tobias Conradi|Tobias Conradi]] [[User_talk:Tobias Conradi|(Talk)]] 06:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

== Party Color templates with shortnames ==
 
Sorry Ganesh, but with {{t1|Election box candidate with party link}} it is not possible because according to it we need to make color templates with full name. Just have a look and analyze. The template is associated with many parties, so it is not possible to make changes in template itself. What you wanted to say, I have experimented with the template also but did not get succeed. This template is associated with many Lok Sabha constituencies, so replacing it with another template would be difficult. If any more suggestions you have, then please tell me. I will try else we will have to make either two templates (one with shortname and other for fullname) or replace the shortname templates with full name to avoid redundant templates.

== Mayiladuthurai Entry ==
 
Dear Ganesh, This is Koteshwar from Ongara Ashram, Chennai. Santhosham.
 
I recently happened to view the Wikipedia page on Mayiladuthurai. I have been associated with Mayiladuthurai for over 3 years now - I traveled there on several occasions to gather details on the 21 saints who lived thereabouts. My Guru Swamy Ongarananda (who himself grew up in Mayiladuthurai) compiled these life histories of the saints in a 450 page book, which was released by Dharmapuram Mutt Adheenam on Sep 15, 2006 in Mayiladuthurai itself.
 
The fact that I mentioned the book, Mayiladuthurai Mahangal, on the Wikipedia page, was with the earnest desire that net users who browse this page learn of the numerous saints who lived here and the vast tomes of teachings they have left for us. Mayiladuthurai is indeed a special place for siddhars and this book does contain concrete evidence in the form of photographs, sculptures, documents, palm leaf scripts etc. to reinforce this claim.
 
With regard to your comment that this is 'book promotion' - well, this is Swamiji's 45th spiritual book over 30 years and we hardly are in need of such 'promotion' stunts. The rich spiritual legacy of Mayiladuthurai is there for everyone to claim and I have borne witness to sacred footprints that the saints have left on its soil over the centuries.
 
Its only to transmit this message worldwide that I made this entry. Please re-consider whether you have it edit it again.
 
One other thing - Mayiladuthurai Parabrahma Sadguru Siddhar Swamigal, an illustrious saint - lived over two decades in mayiladuthurai and attained Siddhi there. was honoured on His Birth Centenary in 2004 by a commemorative stamp release by the Department of Posts, Govt.of India. Placing him alongside other important citizens of Mayiladuthurai (both living and past) would indeed be appropriate, I guess.

Hi. I was just working on move requests, and saw the request for [[Mokele-mbembe]], which I'd looked at a couple of times over the last few days, and was thinking of moving. I then failed to notice that you had relisted it, and didn't see that you had until I'd completed the move. I wasn't trying to overrule you, so much as just a bit unobservant there. Since the requester had posted their reason for requesting the move on the talk page, and nobody had objected, and the reason seemed good and source-based, and held up to inspection, I figured it was fine, and if someone objects, we could discuss it then.
