The recent semi-protection of the Mahatma Gandhi and full protection of the Military budget of the People's Republic of China and Human rights in the People's Republic of China articles which I enacted here, here and here due to vandalism and edit-warring was reported in the Indian media and the New York Times
FOR ANONS, I WILL DEFINITELY REPLY HERE. FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, THIS MAY BE HERE OR AT YOUR TALK PAGE. IF IT IS A MULTI-PARTY DISCUSSION, THEN DEFINITELY HERE
Suggestion- Rename Rashtrakuta
One of the reasons this article has been constantly plagued by controversy is partly because of the naming of the page. This page pertains to "Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta" specifically, though a brief mention has be made about their descendents etc. I propose we rename the article to match the name of the Imperial dynasty - Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta. This would solve lots of problems about dealing with Rashtrakutas of Vidharbha, Jodhpur etc. People interested in creating other subarticles are free to then create subarticles for their own tiny kingdoms elsewhere while the main article remains for most well known Empire - the rulers from Manyakheta. thanks.Dineshkannambadi 11:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Regarding spoken languages in the 8-10 centuries, Telugu was popularly spoken in the esatern Deccan, and Tamil ofcourse in deep South. All these areas were also controlled by Rashtrakutas of Manyakheta from time to time (I can provide all citations and this has been briefly explained on the main page). I would not be surprised if those languages were used for local administration in those areas. But that does not make Telugu or Tamil the languages of Central Administration. This is my point. What was used in Vidharbha by a minor Rashtrakuta family should not prevail on the main family in Manyakheta. Kannada was used in many inscriptions during the rule of Marathas in the Karnataka region in the 18th century ( I can provide citations not just from by book but also from Archaeological Survey of India). If Maharashtri Prakrit is considered official because it was used in some corner of central India (assuming Mrtag is accurate in his translation), then Kannada should be also considered an official language of the Maratha Empire simply because people did not stop speaking in Kannada in the 18th century. we continued to speak Kannada and still do.Thanks.Dineshkannambadi 11:40, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- The Marathi citation that I provided clearly stated that some branches of Rashtrakutas did have Maharashtri Prakrit/Marathi as their court-language. The snippets I provided clearly show that rashtrakutas of Malkhed are Marathi speakers (the same branch Mr.Kannambadi is talking Its ok to remove Maharashtri Prakrit/Marathi script from main article and keep the mentions as Kannada collectively was main language of Rashtrakutas.(but do not remove Sanskrit) In same ways Yadavas of Deogiri are undoubtedly Marathi and the same language was strong in their reign. Kannada might be the language of Yadavas in Karnataka or so its script is not necessary and 'tall claims' should be supported by other sources. Mrtag 13:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Missing the point You are missing the point. My suggestion has nothing to do with present day Maharashtra or Karnataka. The Yadava kings encouraged Kannada scholars in their court, minted Kannada coins. They wrote over 500 Kannada inscriptions. Nothing makes it more clear that Kannada was a court language. Whether the Yadavas of Devagiri are related to Marathi's or not itself is debated as expained by all the citations. To me it's clear from the Seuna article that during the 11-13 century was a time of multiple languages in Maharashtra. Even historians are not sure if it is clearly the first Maratha empire. The snippets you provided provide no information in any level of clarity.
Moreover, History is not about a barter between me and you. It is about providing facts based on available data which can be verified.Dineshkannambadi 13:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC) BTW, remember that it was I who put Sanskrit in there, not you. Clearly shows who is being more balanced here. It is I who brought all the info on Sanskrit inscriptions and literature, not you.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 13:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding the Sanskrit stuff (but u forgot adding Sanskrit script),u also subdued the 'maratha' origin theory down in the notes. Anyways my snippets show exactly what I want to prove. Few rashtrakutas are of Marathi origin and they spoke/patrozied Marathi. Let us suppose this is not adequate for Marathi script as only Govinda III and Vidarbha Rashtrakutas did that. The same holds true for Yadavas of Deogiri, Yadavas kannada origin is doubted (they are from north), and the kannada inscriptions are found only in Karnataka and not in Maharashtra. It is a fact that yadavas patronized Marathi languge and Marathi culture. Only a fraction of Yadavas might had Kannada as court-language. I think I have made this clear.
- I request to remove protection as I have more information to add. I have enough citations to prove that Yadavas are Marathi. It will be nice if he provide more sources for his extraordinary claims of Yadavas of Deogiri had kannada as their court-language.Or Let Mr.Kannambadi make another article for Yadavas of Karnataka. Mrtag 14:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Harsh responses helps no one. Please dont use harshness as you did on the Rashtrakuta talk page and especially against Blnguyen as he is trying to be helpful. There is no such kingdom as Seunas of Karnataka. History cant be fractured just to please the egos of a few people.thanksDineshkannambadi 14:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yadavas had many branches just as rashtrakutas. Yadavas of Deogiri itself means the major branch of yadavas which had Deogiri as capital. Btw i have been to Deogiri and dont think I am novice at these. What sources do u have? The entire section is based on a book and that too clearly states that kannada inscriptions are in karnataka. I have no time to have petty fights and lose my dignity here. As I said,this time u have messed with wrong person! I will follow up this issue and not let anyone insult our ancestors and our glorious past.
Ur anxiety and fidgeting is clear by including Bl in 'ur' troop and misleading him! I wont stoop to ur levels nor i am into groupism. Mrtag 15:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Reply-->My book does not say the 500 inscriptions are from Karnataka. It just says there are 500 inscriptions. The "from Karnataka" was added by admin: Utcursch. I did not want to make a controversy of it and let it be. Please dont make threats. It is clear from your last message above that you are someone from the past.Dineshkannambadi 16:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I have understood by now that ur a liar and expert in distorting the facts. The article is protected and everyone can see that text. Pl stop the blatant lies. Bl please unprotect the article Yadavas of Deogiri as I have to add details in it. If possible plz ask this guy to mind his words and behave himself. Mrtag 03:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- I have removed all unacceptable snippet infomation in Rashtrakuta with no author or publication etc.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 12:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, that's fine, I guess the fact that Mrtag has been blocked as a Sarvabhaum sockpuppet resolves this temporarily at least. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:52, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Orangutan
I seek your esteemed wisdom kind sir on the fate of the on-going edit war at orangutan - I am not sure whether to -
- (1) suggest a separate article for the belligerent culture person
- (2) seek other remedies - like a vote on the talk page?
- with as much of christmas/solstice goodwill as possible.
- Problem is I consider the belligerent is being provocative - while the reverters can be seen in the same manner. What do you think? I would appreciate any comment SatuSuro 07:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Not sure I would have picked that one, the history seems to show it was quite substantial on 9 December. You can reply here (if a reply's necessary, that was more of just a comment). ++Lar: t/c 12:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Blnguyen. Sorry to bother you once again, but of late a new round of edit war over order of transliteration on Belgaum page has been started by User:Sarvabhaum and a WP:SPA. Kannada being the administrative language of the region was listed followed by Marathi, which is also spoken in Belgaum. Please take note of this in light of the other new developments, such as blatant tagging by User:Mrtag, again by a new user who seem to be arriving into the scene from nowhere to harass Kannadiga editors. Thanks and wish you a Merry Christmas... -- Naveen (talk) 13:19, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Bravada?
Hi Blnguyen, what did happen to Bravada? I have some outstanding "assignments" from him (i.e. Barreiros and Chrysler articles) and I just realised his userpage is gone?!? Regards, Asteriontalk 21:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Nearly Headless Nick: waiting for answers
I don't think the conversation between you and Nick is going to go anywhere soon and it will only irritate all involved. I think we can make progress if we focus on what is right, not on who is right, because at the end of the day, we are trying to get the best possible content available. Regards, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Nick is actively engaged in a course of conduct--acting in repeated, verifiable, bad faith, against consensus, and bullying "under color of authority"--I am one of the only people who is effective is calling him on his bullying, and will continue to do so, for the benefit of Wikipedia, as long as he disrespects community consensus, bullies, lies, etc. Meanwhile, it is past time for Barrington Hall to be unprotected, as it shouldn't have been protected in the first place. Are you personally involved in any way/know any of the "silent edit warriors"
Cindery 06:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
...interesting that you did not answer that question--it appears you voted for Nick in his RFA, so you certainly know him, at least:-) (How much time would you say you spend chatting with him on the IRC channel?) Also, I can't seem to find an official "request for page protection" for Barrington Hallanywhere--am I missing it? Is there an alternate explanation for how it is that you noticed and decided there was some problem necessitating page protection between 9:22 on Dec. 20--when Rory made the last edit--and 9:24--two minutes later-- when you protected it? Cindery 03:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
deletion of article without talk page
I just noticed that you deleted 2007 Quarters in August, without deleting Talk:2007 Quarters. I put a {{db}} on the talk page, so I'm not asking you to do anything. I just thought I'd let you know in case it might have happened elsewhere. Ingrid 19:11, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Your article, Irfan Pathan, was selected for DYK!

On December 24, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Irfan Pathan, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |
Nishkid64 14:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Am I missing something? How did this qualify for DYK? I appreciate it's been worked on but it was hardly a stub on, e.g. Nov. 30 [1]. Deizio talk 14:39, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm...for some reason the DYK articles seem to be getting worse and worse. I think Irfan Pathan is a good article but in the last couple of days ive seen a bunch of stubs get on. Its sad to note that some of us spend time writing articles like Mangalkavya while we could merely get away with a Var (poetry). In this instance, I wouldnt even complain if u, geejo and nish pick ur own DYK's. At least u guys make good picks. Look into the stubs thing though, if something is going to show up on the main page, it might as well look like a B class article.Bakaman 04:10, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think we have different concerns, mine is that DYK is for new articles, or ones very recently expanded from stubs. The point of DYK has never, afaik, been to showcase "good" articles, but to inspire editors to start new ones. Deizio talk 14:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps we should discuss on DYK page itself.Bakaman 18:55, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Seuna
Hi. In the Seuna page, before you locked the page up, Mrtag an indef-blocked user and sock puppet (indef-blocked by Aksi_great) introduced a "snippet" (currently citation #14). This citation is not acceptable not only because it is a snippet but also from a banned sock. Please remove this so called "citation" when you have time.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 18:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ah OK, I've unlocked the article, as there will be no more imminent edit wars now that he has been indefinitely blocked. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:52, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Arbitration-Rashtrakuta
Sir, I would like to take this page for arbitration since it is plagued by reverts. I am hoping that this will resolve the issue. The need for the arbitration arises from the "validy or invalidity" of certian citations put in by an user who has been repeatedly banned for sock puppetry. How do I go about this procedure. what is the paper work to be done to apply for arbitration. Please help.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 20:02, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think you should be patient as the dispute is not really of a magnitude ready for arbitration. The previous levels of dispute in September/October in the Belgaum article is about the level for arbitration, but something perhaps 30% smaller may be accepted. However, I don't think the Rashtrakuta article is sufficiently stalemated to warrant arbitration. Nevertheless, the process is at WP:RFARB if you would like to read up in advance. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:56, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- The Anon user is throwing in snippets, marathi blog sites claiming citations. The first thing to do is to bring in a native Marathi speaker who can interprit the clutter that has been created by the anon. He is also trying to confuse the reader by contradictory statements which we can go thru line by line. Eventually, arbitration in inevitable. By the way he is back to vandalism on Seuna. Someone is getting very agressive. If he continues tagging without discussion, can his IPaddress be blocked?thanks.Dineshkannambadi 13:57, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Snippets are elaborative enough to prove what I have added. Such Google books works were included in yadavas article as well. Where did I use Marathi blog sites?If Marathi sites are not to be used than why should kannada? I am a native Marathi speaker and my translations are full proof. Mr Kannambadi has deliberately suppressed Marathi stuff at Rashtrakutas and inserted Kannada stuff at yadavas. There are no contradictory statements. There is no vandalism on yadavas. All my additions are based on citations. I have discussed everything on talk page. Mr.kannambadi's is being 'bad boy' here. I am forced to edit by ip addresses as all my accounts get blocked because of Mr.Kannambadi's name-calling. 59.95.6.80 17:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Dave Kelly (artist) Deletion
I've been away from Wikipedia for some time, so I was horrified and angered that the Dave Kelly artile was deleted. I understand there was sdome discussion about this and I'm sorry I didn't get in on it. Other web artsits have pages on Wikipedia so I'm baffled as to why Dave got "picked on". I understand vaguely that there weren't enough references or citations, but he has a significant web presence and there are several articles in Wikipedia where he is the primary or major contributor. I may want to restart the article but I don't want it to suddenly disappear again. Can you give me some pointers or a quick run-down on why the previous article was deleted so I can avoid those pit-falls again? Thanks --KSnortum 00:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

ARYAN818's unacceptable comments on Talk:Dravidian_people.
Hi,
I am reporting user User:ARYAN818 in regards to his unacceptablecomments on Talk:Dravidian_people [3]. His comment made me feel very, very unconfortable since I am of Dravidian ancestory myself. It almost sounded like he was saying that we do not exist. I found it very shocking and disturbing. I also have seen that he has a history of similar incidents and that he has been blocked in the past. Please, if there is something you can do about this. Thank you.

Hi. The moment you unprotected the page, a anon vandal is back tagging the page.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 13:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hello Bl,
- neither I am a vandal nor I have done anything wrong. The usage of tag Template:More Sources is not vandalism. There is a reason behind it. Plz note that I have included citations for my every additions. Each and every citation signifies the importance of Yadavas of Deogiri in Maharashtra history and Marathi language.
- The Kannada thing is based only on 1 citation. I have another exciting thing to bring to ur notice,but before that Mr.Kannambadi needs to stop removing cited info and speaking nonsense about me.

Unprotect Yadavas of deogiri
I have worked very hard to get the content and citations on these pages. Its a grave injustice ,why have u removed my content and endorsed Mr.kannambadi's? All my info was based on content.

- Dear Bl,
:I request u to unprotect the article as soon as possible. Ur steps to endorse Mr.Kannambadi are very unfortunate.

- Can this groupism end now?
- Vishu123 06:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Extreme indecent and uncouth behavior of Mr.kannambadi. Marathi is a official language of India. Why are Marathi citations challenged? Mr.Kannambadi must explain his dubious citations rather than challenging mine. My translation is full-proof, I am a native Marathi speaker. Manasollas does have Marathi songs and that is clear in the citation. Mr.Kannambadi is warned to mind his words. 59.95.6.80 17:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Is this an acceptable citation?. Its a web page completely in Marathi. It claims a Sanskrit work by a Chalukya king Someswara as "Marathi songs", and that it was a stepping stone to Marathi Literature. Can we get a native Marathi speaker to even validate the page and its contents.
Marathi songs in "Manasollas" (मानसोल्लास) by Kalyani king Someshwar are termed as stepping stone of Marathi literature.Marathiworld.com-History

I have worked very hard to get the content and citations on these pages. Its a grave injustice ,why have u removed my content and endorsed Mr.kannambadi's? All my info was based on content. I had to edit as ip address beacause all my user ids are banned. Please unprotect the article and stop endorsing Kannambadi.

bit late
I know this is a bit late, but many thanks for the kind Christmas message you left on my talk page. Hope you enjoyed the holiday season as well, best of luck with your studies next year.
Can you look at something for me?
Hi Blnguyen... hope you had a good New Years :) If you have time I'd appreciate you looking at something for me: Brightideasguru (talk · contribs) inserted some information about herself at Victoria Davis... apparently she is a "leading edublogger and wiki creator". I removed it as it did not belong there... but apparently the woman was unhappy, leading to this blog entry and further discussion on her talk page and mine. She is basically claiming that these pageant titleholders are not notable and that the information belongs on Wiki News (?!). She has slapped a notability template on there as well. Hope you can help me sort this one out! -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 04:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Best wishes and Happy new year!!!
Hopefully all these reverts/socks will go away and give way for smooth flowing wikibusiness. By the way, I have proposed a solution to the Rashtrakuta revert problem on its discussion page. Please see if this is ok with you.thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dineshkannambadi (talk • contribs) 03:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC).
Happy New year!!!
The last similar message I left for some reason did not show up on your discussion page. So I have copied this again. Hopefully all these reverts/socks will go away and give way for smooth flowing wikibusiness. By the way, I have proposed a solution to the Rashtrakuta revert problem on its discussion page. Please see if this is ok with you, when you are free.thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dineshkannambadi (talk • contribs) 03:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

Happy New Year!
Blnguyen, I do not believe we have spoken before, but I have seen you in countless places around Wikipedia. Thank you for working so hard this year, and for entertaining me and countless others who with your YellowMonkey pictures. All the best from your fellow simean editor, Dar-Ape 23:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC) Sorry, must have been a glitch.Dineshkannambadi 02:54, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Use of Non-English books,publications etc
Dear Sir, The usage of non-English language material is growing on English Wikipedia in utter abandon. User:Utcursch has already adviced user:Vishu123 (user:Mrtag, user:Itihass) that English language works sould be given importance on English wikipedia but this is beign treated with utter disregard by him who sees the inability of wikipedia admins in bringing clarity into this matter. The problem has now spread to Chalukya page (see Chalukya discussion). If this issue is not solved now, it will grow into a huge problem for English wikipedia. Just imagine, India is a country with 22 or more official languages not to mention hundreds of dialects.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 15:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I sincerely suggest we bring together a large group of admins/wiki seniors etc. to decide if non-english language citations and self translation are allowed. If we dont do this now, this can only spread thorough out English-wikipedia and become a menace beyond control. In the best interest of English wikipedia-thanks.Dineshkannambadi 16:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC) Marathi Books being quoted by Vishu123:
- Medieval India (madhyayugin bharat) By C.V.Vaidya- It contains both the theories of Dr.Bhandrakar and V.K.Rajwade
- Marathyancha Itihaas By Dr.S.G Kolarkar (it books too contain many postulates of above noted historians)
- महाराष्ट्राचे प्राचीन राज्यकर्ते Maharashtrache prachin rajyakarte by V.K rajwade
- Bharatacha Ithaas Dr.S.G Kolarkar.
- ऐतिहासिक प्रस्तावना (Aitihasik Prastavana) by V.K.Rajwade
The first book is also Marathi, only its title is translated by Vishu123.Dineshkannambadi 18:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC) Other citations without head or tail:
- "Rāṣṭrakūṭa Dynasty." Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica 2007 Ultimate Reference Suite
- I take it as a deep offense. Mr.kannambadi has no right to pass such comments. C.V.Vaidya, V.K.Rajwade, Dr.Bhandarkar are all noted historians. Who is Suryanath Kamath or chandranath ravat? I have never heard such names. Mr.Kannambadi is shamelessly glorifying his books and scorning mine.Vishu123 19:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ps:Medieval India is written by C.V Vaidya.I have used its Marathi translation.
- English version of C.V's book is not available in any library. I think we must consider not allowing partisan and unknwn authors like Mr.kannambadi has quoted. The books being in english doesnt make them pristine. We cant build history English wikipedia by using only books of few partisan and unimportant writers. You are requested to check my translation.The books which Mr.Kannambadi are pure kannada partisan and hence the trouble is growing.Vishu123 17:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Use of snippets as citation
Here are some of the the "scholarly" snippets used by user:Vishu123 (user:Mrtag, User:Ithaas) to accurately represent the history of the Rashtrakuta Empire and Western Chalukyas. We need to bring consensus about this also along with Marathi sources, in order to preserve the quality of wikipedia.
- [4]
- [5]
- [6]
- [7] (in this case user:Utcursch has provided an eqvivalent English language citation, but User:Vishu123 prefers his native language and expects the world to follow his command.
If this problem is not resolved, the History of India will a trail of snippets.thanks.Dineshkannambadi 01:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
