Hi Fowler&Fowler! We have a lot of articles on [[WP:FAC]] that need to be copyedited for "brilliant prose". As such, WP India does not have a dedicated copyeditor for such a process. Would you be interested in helping as a copyeditor? An average of 3 India-related articles are rolled out each month on FAC. Regards, [[user:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">=Nichalp</font>]] [[User Talk:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">«Talk»=</font>]] 13:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

After your edits, {{tl|NB Expressways}}, {{tl|NS 100 Hwys}}, {{tl|Quebec Autoroutes}} don't display properly when collapsed (hit the ''hide'' button, or check out [[List of Canadian highways by province]] to see how it's rendered in an article). Could you please fix that. Thanks. --[[User:Qyd|Qyd]] 15:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

:The FAC process works this way: An editor takes the lead and works on the article. After peer review and incorporating changes, the article will be more or less stable. At this point the editor requests a copyedit for grammar, choppiness, and removing redundancy. Once done, the article is submitted to FAC.

:I'm afraid that an extra break doesn't solve anything: the big text '''Expressways and Freeways'' still leaks out of the navbox when it's collapsed. It's probably beacause the said text, along with the acompaning html tags, are placed outside the NavContent div. Well, that navbox looks like a christmas tree anyway, with all the images within tables within tables within div's within html tags, etc... {{unsigned|Qyd}}

:Unlike other FAC nominations, Indian articles usually see minor activity when on FAC due to the heavy-duty internal peer review which sorts out most issues. We also happen to be one of the most active wikiprojects in getting articles featured.

::The big titles were showing because they were inside NavHead, and [[User:RingtailedFox|RingtailedFox]] has been moving them back to NavContent, which is the div that gets hidden. If you are interested, [[User:Qyd|Qyd]], I've made some comments about these templates on my [[User talk:Pomte#400 ONT Hwys|talk page]]. –[[User talk:Pomte|Pomte]] 04:09, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

:See [[Delhi]]. Though it passed FAC, the prose is not up to the mark IMO. [[user:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">=Nichalp</font>]] [[User Talk:Nichalp|<font color="#0082B8">«Talk»=</font>]] 14:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

== Network logos in infobox ==

==Indian mathematics==

Greetings, I no longer can keep up the pace. My exams will continue and after that I will be leaving, taking a few days off WP. I have reviewed my future with the Indian mathematics article, and have come to the conclusion that since I am under time constraints and am under such pressure in real life that adequate responses or editing actions on "Indian mathematics" are just not possible for me right now. I can't contribute to it in the manner that I usually would; it would be unethical to the extreme to ask the other editors, who have wished me well during my examination, to wait. The article is under the watch of many good editors and I see and hope that it's quality benefits from the present situation. Many regards, _{<span style="border:3px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Freedom skies|Freedom skies]]|[[User_talk:Freedom skies|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;">&nbsp;talk&nbsp;</font>]]</span>} 02:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I've reverted your addition of the [[NBC]] and [[NBC Weather Plus]] logos to the infobox for [[WDIV-TV]]. The reason I did so is that I'm concerned it may violate our eighth [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|fair use criterion]]; I don't think the logos (which are [[WP:FU|fair use]]) contribute much to the article. You may wish to look at the [[WP:FLAG]] essay as well; adding network logos to infoboxes in general appears to be fairly related to overuse of flags in articles. I just wanted to make you aware of this for future reference. Thank you for your understanding. --'''[[User:Wcquidditch|<font color="red">WC</font>''<font color="#999933">Quidditch</font>'']]''' <big>[[User talk:Wcquidditch|<font color="red">&#9742;</font>]] [[Special:Contributions/Wcquidditch|<font color="#999933">&#9998;</font>]]</big> 00:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

:I redirected Takshashila University to Taxila ages ago, migrating over whatever verifiable content there was but IAF kept reverting it. I did a lot of the verification stuff myself, reading ''Education in Ancient India'' (both the Scharfe and the Altekar). Neither made the claim that Taxila was the oldest university in the world.

Just a reminder to please not apply duplicate categorization to articles. If [[Ruthven, Ontario]] can be filed in [[:Category:Communities in Essex County, Ontario]], then it ''doesn't'' also go into [[:Category:Essex County, Ontario]] at the same time; if [[Huron Church Road]] can be filed in [[:Category:Streets in Windsor, Ontario]], then it ''doesn't'' also go into [[:Category:Windsor, Ontario]], [[:Category:Essex County, Ontario]] or [[:Category:Roads in Ontario]]. We only apply the ''most'' specific appropriate category from any given tree, not ''every'' category. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 01:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

:We'll see how long it lasts before someone reverts it.

== ReRandom Unre4LSmiley Award ==

<div style="background-color:#f9f0C9; border:1px solid #888850; clear:right; float:right; padding:2px; width:300px;">

Hey Fowler. Regarding your message. The decision has pretty much been reached. The Arbcom only considered banning the 4 Pakistani users who stood up to Indian Pov [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/India-Pakistan/Proposed_decision]. No mention of any other user even getting a warning.<br />

[[image:smiley.svg|left|90px]]<small>For your contributions to Wikipedia and humanity in general, you are hereby granted the coveted <b>[[User:Pedia-I/SmileyAward|Random Smiley Award]]</b><br />originated by [[User:Pedia-I|<span style="color:darkblue; font-family:Constantia; font-size:larger">Pedia-I</span>]]<br />([[User:Pedia-I/SmileyAward|Explanation and Disclaimer]])</small>

A 1 year ban each is in order. Apparently its a bigger crime to question Indian Pov than to make racist remarks against Pakistanis, Muslims and their Prophet, and hijacking articles. It was nice knowing you in particular. I wish you the best.<br />

== Reply ==

Thanks alot for your message Fowler.You can visit the main page of the case [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/India-Pakistan here].On the main page you can click the links to the workshop page,the evidence page and the proposed descision page.You can also visit the discussion pages of these sections to post any comments/evidence that you have.

The descision already seems to have been made.We are to be banned for one year.All four of us.The only question is which day the bans are due to be set.

Well Fowler most of my contributions to wikipedia were a good pastime hobby.During my one year ban (assuming I might decide to return after the ban,which does not seem likely anymore) I'll be switching to my old hobbies of reading books and going back on my [[flight simulator]].I have flown on the cessna skyhawk 2 seater when about 2 years ago once for half an hour with an instructor.I was hoping to go back and do full time training and get my private pilots liscense by the end of the summer but it will have to wait until I get my studies done.

Since I won't be able to go for a full time training,I'll just do the flight simulator for fun until I go back to full time training.

As for reading books,I don't know what your favorite literature is,but I love [[science fiction]].Right now I am reading a book on Clark Kent.It's not really about Superman,but more about Clark Kent and how he's struggling with an ordinary life.That's why I enjoy television shows like [[Smallville]] as oppossed to any Superman movie or book.Smallville isn't really about Superman,but an extraordinary person trying to cope with human society.Actually you don't have to be a Superman fan (I'm not really a fan of any franchise except Star Wars) to enjoy Smallville.

I just love science fiction.I once bought the first issue of the [[Darkover]] series.I unfortunately wasn't able to get a hold of the direct sequel,but instead issues that go all the way ahead into episode #50.If I find the direct sequel,I'll be able to enjoy the series better and read them in chronological order.

So Fowler that's what I'll be doing for the next year or so to keep myself occupied aside from my studies during my pastime.If there's anything I can do for you,you can always email me but you must have your email adress in your preferences section to be able to do that.

All the best.--[[User:Nadirali|Nadirali نادرالی]]

== Re: FAC copy editor ==

Yup, I mean the brilliant prose clause for [[WP:FAC]]. There are no Indian articles on FAC, but [[Delhi]] which passed recently could do with a copyedit to reduce it's choppiness. We've listed it for a copyedit so that we can use the content to feature [[New Delhi]].

== India Demographics ==

Because of India's rich diversity, no one image can represent all of India's one billion people. That is why I propose selecting a new demographics image every three months. This would allow for a regional balance and would show India as a whole. Many people have agreed that this is the only way to represent India's rich and varied diversity. Since you have voted for a change in the demographics section, I wanted to update you on this proposal. I would love to hear your comments on [[talk:India]]. Thanks so much. Have a great day!

==History of Pakistan==

Hi Fowler. Sure, we could remove the disclaimer if it could be properly incorporated into the lead. The lead leaves several serious problems which need to be resolved. An important one, for example, is the first sentence that says that Pakistan's pre-1947 history "overlaps" with that of Afghanistan, India and Iran. For this to happen, Pakistan should exist pre-20th century at least as an idea in somebody's mind. The word "overlaps" is cited from a [[A Short History of Pakistan|book]] that has received several unfavorable critiques from reviewers for its "complete lack of objectivity", "dangerous narrative that it will not guide younger historians in Pakistan towards proper national self-criticism", "disquieting", "the official Pakistani point of view", etc. I think the exact situation needs to be explained much more explicitly. The best solution, however, is to follow the approach that reputed encyclopediae like Britannica follow on this subject. That's how [http://p2.www.britannica.com/eb/article-23662/Pakistan#387253.hook their article] begins:

"This discussion treats the history of Pakistan largely since the country's founding. For earlier history, see India: History." [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 21:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Insofar as Encarta is concerned, you might find [http://www.howtoknow.com/contragates.html this] interesting. The wikipedia article on it mentions people criticizing it for "pandering to local prejudices instead of presenting subjects objectively " If Encarta's version of Pakistan's history has to sound much like a chapter from [[Pakistan Studies]] for whatever reason, we perhaps can try to do a better job. Starting "History of Pakistan" from IVC (or any point prior to 1940) is inherently revisionist and POV, but if we have to do it anyway (but why?), at least make it clear to the readers what exactly we are doing. [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 23:11, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

:: Anyway, the bigger issue of content could be discussed with more people on a longer time scale, for now let us try to work on the lead to make it less misleading. [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 23:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

::: Well, I completely agree with the case for [[History of Nepal]], and that for [[History of West Bengal]] to be merged into [[History of Bangladesh]] (to be named as [[History of Bengal]]. I completely agree with the point of having [[History of Punjab]], [[History of Sindh]], [[History of Balochistan]], etc., but History of Pakistan is a very different case -- Punjab and Sindh, it can be argued for example, have been closer to Bengal and Assam than to Balochistan. So in what context would you put Pakistani Punjab and Balochistan together, but exclude Indian Punjab? All these references are coming from the same university ([http://www.sipa.columbia.edu/academics/directory/ss2009-fac.html Saeed Shafqat] is affiliated to Columbia, although he also seems to be the chairman of the Department of [[Pakistan Studies]] at the Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad; Ayesha Jalal was at Columbia too, where (as an aside) it seems she was denied tenure, which she blamed on an Indian conspiracy, only to be dismissed by the court). Let's try to find out if this idea is more widespread among scholarship. I think the reason we see these people cited everywhere is that these are the only people who are working on "History of Pakistan" as being separate from the History of rest of the region, so whenever an encyclopedia editor looks for authors for national histories, s/he finds them for Pakistan, regardless of whether they are the best people to write the history of that region or not. Sorry, if I am sounding too skeptic here. If you agree, we can focus on the correcting the lead for now, about which the argument remains the same regardless of the bigger issue of content. I think that issue would be much easier to sort out. [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 03:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

:::: By the way, when you said you are not on any side of this "dispute", I didn't quite get it :) Which dispute? [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 03:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

:::: I've been trying to see which universities do it which way. Here's what I found out till now: [http://cero.columbia.edu/1350/ Columbia], Berkeley: [http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/SSEAL/SouthAsia/sahist_pakistan.html this] vs. [http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/SSEAL/SouthAsia/sahist_indiahome.html this], [http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=0300097603 yale], ..(more to come). [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 03:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

::::: I agree with much of what you said. One problem with presenting a history of Pakistan, as I mentioned earlier, is that putting up histories of these disparate regions together gives an impression of isolated regions like Baluchistan and Pakistani Punjab being more related than other parts of the same region (Indian Punjab). Such an impression becomes inherently misleading. To give a perhaps silly example, a general article on Anatomy of Mammals makes sense. Articles on Anatomy of Cows, Anatomy of Rabbits, Anatomy of Deers, Anatomy of Whales, Anatomy of Echidnas, Anatomy of Horses, Anatomy of Bats all make sense. But a separate article on "Anatomy of Cows, Bats and Echidnas" sounds out of place. Anyway, reading Ayesha Jalal's "[http://www.tufts.edu/%7Eajalal01/Articles/conjuring.pdf Conjuring Pakistan: History as Official Imagining]" right now. It's quite nicely written. Read it if you get some time. Cheers :) [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 04:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

::I've been proposing renaming History of India to "History of the Indian subcontinent", and having regional articles for Punjab, Sind, Gujarat, Bengal, Nepal, etc. Reasons are twofold: (1) Even as a 12 year-old, I read it that way in my Dorling Kindersley's Children's Illustrated Encyclopedia (There was one "History of the Indian subcontinent", Pakistan article was only post 1947, India article corresponded to [[History of the Republic of India]]), and (2)[[South Asia]] is less specific, although the term is a popular replacement for "Indian subcontinent" in Pakistan, and is common in USA as well, the article suggests it could be confused with a lot more regions - almost certainly Afghanistan, and probably Iran and Tibet as well, while Indian subcontinent is less ambiguous, and refers almost exactly to the region we want to be talking about.

==Taking cue from Nichalp...==

Hello Sir. It would be great if we can have you as a copyeditor for Indian articles that are in FAC or are being readied for FAC. Nichalp has told you, ''Indian articles usually see minor activity when on FAC due to the heavy-duty internal peer review which sorts out most issues''. However, lately there have been some India-related FACs that did not go through this usual process of internal reviews. For example, right now [[Partition of India]] is in FAC and it was not being worked upon by any user or workgroup. It is almost bound to fail the FAC.

The India-related activities can be found in [[Wikipedia:Notice board for India-related topics]], though some parts of the notice board are backlogged. Still, FACs and Peer reviews are usually updated on a regular basis. You can check the notice board and work as you please. Thanks for taking interest in [[Delhi]] and copyediting. Regards.--[[User:Dwaipayanc|Dwaipayan]] ([[User_talk:Dwaipayanc|talk]]) 16:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

==Re:Delhi copy edit==

Hehe! I saw that "stupid" edit, and understood why you wrote that :) Anyway, I'll try to clarify that medium of instruction bit. And you just go on copyediting, and ask me or any other else (like Nichalp) if you have any question. Many Indian articles need somebody to copyedit them. We are grateful that you have obliged. Thanks a lot. Regards.--[[User:Dwaipayanc|Dwaipayan]] ([[User_talk:Dwaipayanc|talk]]) 12:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your reply. The AfD is up for archiving so I am not editing there. I have personally never heard of "Indigenous Aryans" ever, as a term. I appreciate your finding of citations. But picking up "Indigenous Aryans" to write an article is akin to picking up "Bush's failures" from "Many of the actions of Bush have turned out to be failure". I bet you will find many more citations for the case I suggest here, still you must agree that an article like [[Bush's failures]] will be deleted. Anyway, the talk was about "Hindutva propaganda". There is no such scholarly notation for propaganda pertaining to its origin. Propaganda is what it is, and until it is officially classified, creating an article about it is nothing but original research.

== [[n:en:User:Raccoon Fox]] account on Wikinews ==

Anyway, for what it's worth, I completely believe that Aryans came from outside and Vedas are not as scientific as people claim. I think they were important statements, philosophical or scientific or about traditions etc., which people at that time deemed important enough to pass through generations. I don't think people were using nuclear bombs anytime before WWII.--[[User:Scheibenzahl|Scheibenzahl]] 22:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

:dab, hornplease, and fowler, how long are you going to cast your pearls before the swinish multitude? Wikipedia is for lulz and trolling. Please remember that all your efforts you aim at NPOV and scholarship falls within the framework enunciated by one Larry Sanger. Although he didn't create anything new in the realm of scholarship or in academia, he is the pioneer of the idea of a large scale collaboration over the Internet to evolve an encyclopedia. His ideas made this project a success. Now it has gone to seeds. The experiment which made great strides is now reeling under the concerted attack of the pov brigade. Wikipedia can't move on because the retards who run it grovel before the pov brigades. You men try to save it from the inevitable fall just holding off for some more time. What purpose does it serve? Sanger has moved on. The Citizendium is there awaiting your brilliant efforts. You could spend there creatively all the efforts you spend here fighting trolls, casting pearls before the swine. All of you spent a hell lot of time on Hindutva Propaganda, nobody could have questioned the underlying scholarship. But troll they could and troll they did. Socks troll. Admins trolls (Rama's Arrow). And the result? A 13 year old monkey came and deleted it based on consensus. Consensus, mind you! My foot! And Fowler who made astonishing efforts now has to go and ask the monkey to release the material he culled up. Why in the world should you talk with these idiots? What the hell are you doing here men? This is the place for men like bhadani. Transpose the e in beleive and earn a count (while not seeing dozens of fucking bad typos) and brag on the user page in terms of edit counts. Either do as Romans do or get out of here for better places. Doesn't the idea of a place where scholarship is valued and and not treated the same as a monkey's itch interest you? I don't belong there but the idea interests me. The efforts and time you waste here discounting what is spent on articles is (should I use are, fowler?)appalling.[[User:Bypd|Bypd]] 07:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

::well, I don't think Sanger can get his act together. He has great ideas, but he doesn't tick the right way to lead such a project. The requirements for citizendium are a joke. Sure, the brilliant and academic will be among themselves, and that's how they'll stay. And if Citizendium does fly, hey, they can just take my version of an article before the trolls went over it and copy it over there, it's the same licence. The advantage of citizendium, no 13 year olds and no pov pushers, is also its weakness. Do you think it would ''ever'' have occurred to me to research the topic of Hindutva revisionism if the trolls hadn't forced me? That's the motor of Wikipedia. So Wikipedia gets teenagers with attitude problems. These same teenages do also the tremendous amount of 'menial' housekeeping tasks required to keep Wikipedia running. None of the distinguished eggheads at citizendium will be prepared to work as a grunt in the trenches. And if they do turn out a number of decent articles -- hey, we can go over there and copy-paste them here, the license being compatible :) [[User:Dbachmann|dab]] <small>[[User_talk:Dbachmann|(𒁳)]]</small> 20:16, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Is it possible to arrange the Civic Life section arround four main features of the civic life in Shahbag - education, recreation, health care and cultural activities (the last one is currently not featured in the section). The first three are already there, but the second one (i.e. recreation) is not stated as such.

*'''Thanks.''' Now, for more comments as promised - (1) I think there's nothing wrong in the lead (as I've stated in the FAC discussion); and (2) I also think we need to give the section header - "Family mansions" (I find a previous version - "[[Dhaka Nawab Family]] mansions" - more to the point, or may be "Historic mansions"). Now, a question - do I need to creat a stub for ''Chayanaut Music School'', as I have done for most proper nouns in the article? [[User:Aditya Kabir|Aditya Kabir]] 15:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

*'''Update.''' I have added geo and met data and info on transportation to the article. But, the geo and met data is looking a bit out of place in "Civic life" section.

==Unspecified source for [[:Image:ATV.jpg]]==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:ATV.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

The links I have added in the India section, for example have improved, not spoiled, the article. For example, I added internal links to all the years I saw that were not linked. Also, for example, please observe the following paragraph (the one after I changed did my linking) to the one given after (the one given after you reverted my changes):

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]].

Please not that I interlinked the 1947 (a year), changed "colonised" to "colonized" (a spelling correction), linked the word "culture" to "Culture of India", linked the word "history" to "History of India." In the paragraph in the article [[India]] right after the previous example, I changed the word "multiethnic" to "multi ethnic" (a grammar/spelling mistake which you also reverted.) Also, in another section, where it introduces the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government, I linked each one to their respective sections in the article "Politics of India" (e.g.: "legislative" was made into [[Politics of India#Legislative branch]]). Throughout the article, I have only done these kind of important changes.

It's pretty simple. I download the map onto my desktop, place it on a blank illustrator page, then use the path tool to make paths. It gets even simpler from that point - writing on the map, coloring free form areas and creating buttons etc. are rather less time consuming. And, finally I save it as *.svg.

Hey, Fowler&fowler.

==Unspecified source for [[:Image:FrontierRoute.gif]]==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:FrontierRoute.gif]]'''. 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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

May I ask why you are so prejudiced against me? BTW, please do not take offense at some of my comments in the India talk page; I meant to be courteous, but my anger took the best of me. Warm regards. [[User:Universe=atom|Universe=atom]] 18:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|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.

== [[History of India]] is a Candidate for [[WP:ACID]] ==

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 [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 21:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)'''. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Hi,

== [[:Image:Fang the sniper.gif]] ==

Did you know that the article [[History of India]] is a candidate for [[Wikipedia:Article Creation and Improvement Drive]] (shortened to WP:ACID)? If you want it to be the article for the week (and perhaps get it to FA status), perhaps you would want to go the page and vote. Thank you. <font style="background-color:#FFBF00;font-size:150%;font-weight:bold;border:2px solid#120A8F;text-align:center;color:#7BA05B;">Universe=atom</font><small>^{•[[User Talk:Universe=atom|Talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/Universe=atom|Contributions]]•<font style="color:#00F;"></font>}</small> 15:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello RingtailedFox, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]]. The image ([[:Image:Fang the sniper.gif]]) was found at the following ___location: [[User:RingtailedFox/Fang the Sniper]]. This image or media will be removed per [[WP:NONFREE|statement number 9 of our non-free content policy]]. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the [[Creative Commons]] or [[GFDL]] license or released to the [[public ___domain]]. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox.

OK, I take your point on dashes, it is widely used. I was once sent, at work, on a course on writing plain English, mainly because of my tendency to write long complex sentences, and some of it has now been beaten out of me. Cheers. [[User:Imc|Imc]] 17:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== Indian mathematics"Coon" ==

Sure Fowler&fowler, whenever I get a chance to get back substantially to wikipedia, I'll help improve that article. Regards, [[User:deeptrivia|deeptrivia]] ([[User talk:deeptrivia|talk]]) 03:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, could you please avoid using the colloquial short form of racoon, "coon", in your writings? As an African-American I find the term offensive. As a member of another persecuted group, I hope that you will understand.

== Fowler or fowler? ==

Thanks,

I'm curious: are you related to mathematical historian [[David Fowler (mathematician)|David Fowler]] of Warwick? It seems more likely just a coincidence, since he seems to have died in 2004, but...

Jamal Muhammed-Ali Smith

coon's a racial slur? are you serious? i didn't even know! i'm sorry! i'll try to avoid using that word now. thanks for letting me know. <span style="border: 2px solid #330000; text-align:center; background: #C0C0C0; text-color: #DDDDDD; link: #A0522D; vlink: #000000"> '''[[User:RingtailedFox|RingtailedFox]]''' • [[User talk:RingtailedFox|'''Talk''']] • [[Special:Contributions/RingtailedFox|'''Stalk''']]'''</span> 12:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

You're quite right about ACS being a hell on Earth, and it gets worse with all the IBs filling up the whole place. Do tell about all illegal stuff that happened there.--[[User:MittRomney|MittRomney]] 22:22, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

:Hi David, No, I'm afraid I'm not related to David Fowler. But I did happen upon his paper on the square root approximations in Babylonian mathematics earlier today and am looking forward to reading it soon. Seems very well written. That reminds me that somewhere in the RfC in March you had mentioned a relation between the square root approximations, continued fractions and Pell numbers. I was wondering if you could add a few lines (or a footnote) in the Indian math article explaining this. (I'm assuming it is not any old continued fraction approx for sqrt(2), since, at least the one I came up with (based on y-1, where y=2+1/y) didn't seem to give me the Indian approximation.)
