Image:Chandrashekhar2.jpg

I'm having trouble finding the original upload location of the above image- it isn't at this location, which is where I thought it would be. Could you add a link to the original image page, please? J Milburn (talk) 11:38, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

No, I mean the image description page, so that we can verify the license of the image. J Milburn (talk) 10:03, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Edits

Hi Faizhaider. I have some concerns about your recent edits. Firstly, please do not add festivals and holidays that are not held on specific days of the Gregorian calendar to the entries on individual dates, even if that festival will be held on a certain day of a given year, e.g. 2008. I first noticed such an edit on October 30, and it appears you have made others. Secondly, I wonder if you could explain why you are creating pgaes such as Portal:Uttar Pradesh/Anniversaries/October /October 18? Pages which exist solely to say "no event" are of no utility to the Wikipedia project. I would appreciate it if you could stop making edits such as these. I'll take a look at your other contributions to see if there are any other issues. Please ask if you have any questions, thanks. Deiz talk 14:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I see now that these "empty" pages are being transcluded on monthly list pages. The end result may look the same, but is there any reason why you cannot simply add entries to the monthly pages themselves? Seems this would be far easier to edit and maintain, for yourself and other users. Deiz talk 14:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, articles about specific dates should only mention annual festivals, holidays and remembrances which are held on exactly those dates every year - in that respect, pages about individual dates are "timeless". For notable occurences, about which a specific WP article exists (eg airplane disasters, royal coronations etc etc), the events are listed by year in the appropriate section. Hence while Diwali could be appropriately mentioned on October, it should not be noted as a festival on October 30 and other date pages.

My concern about the empty / very short pages for celebrations on individual dates in the Uttar Pradesh portal it that it is difficult for other editors to edit this information. If all the information were directly included on the monthly pages, rather than transcluded from a variety of other pages, it would be far more fitting with the Wikipedia philosophy of "editability". I can't see any compelling reason to create 365 pages about individual days, especially when many exist simply to state "no event". Would you consider merging the information from the individual pages back to the monthly pages so it can be edited directly by any interested user? Thanks, Deiz talk 04:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Tag & Assess 08

Sorry about that; I thought another member of the assessment dept. was looking into that. I'll try get it done sometime in the next week. Thank you for asking (and pointing it out) :) Ncmvocalist (talk) 15:48, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

That's okay. Congratulations on a great effort. :) Ncmvocalist (talk) 05:08, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Ginger]

I don't know if it was a bad cut and paste; or a mistyping but you appear to replace the production statistics on Ginger with statistics for garlic. So I reverted. Regards, --Blowdart | ^talk 12:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Ditto with Garlic where you pasted in eggplant statistics. --Blowdart | ^talk 12:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Uttar Pradesh Map

The map of Uttar Pradesh regions that you've recently uploaded is only partially correct. Upper Doab, Central Doab and Awadh are correct. But Lower Doab, Purvanchal, Baghelkhand and Bundelkhand are all wrong. First of all Baghelkhand is a very small region and barely touches UP at the South-Eastern end. Allahabad district south of Ganga-Yamuna, parts of Mirzapur and Sonabhadra district can be considered to be Baghelkhand and not Purvanchal. What you've shown as Baghelkhand is actually completely Bundelkhand. And finally lower Doab goes all the way to Sangam and does not end at Kanpur. Parts of what I am saying can be found on Wikipedia itself. Maquahuitl^talk! —Preceding undated comment was added at 05:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC).

Now it is somewhat better, but it can be made even better still. If you could show the two rivers, Ganga and Yamuna, things can be clearer around Allahabad. Allahabad city, which lies in the Allahabad district west of Sangam, is a part of lower Doab (by definition). Allahabad district North of Ganga can go with either Awadh or Purvanchal and Allahabad district South of Ganga-Yamuna along with Mirzapur will go into Baghelkhand. Maquahuitl^talk! 06:29, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I have made language maps for U.P., Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttaranchal. I am not sure of the Haryana map, but the rest are pretty simple and clear. I don't know if Wikipedia would accept them as I've used maps from mapsofindia.com. Maquahuitl^talk! 05:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Have a look at Talk:Uttar Pradesh. I have uploaded the map in the last section. I am not sure if Wikipedia will not delete my map as I have downloaded the map from mapsofindia.com. Maquahuitl^talk! 08:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

If you are sure about the districts that I've marked with a particular language, please do it yourself and upload it. As far as the language boundaries are concerned, I am pretty sure about themMaquahuitl^talk! 04:30, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes it seems to be correct. Except for the fact that there are some districts where the actual boundaries lie, and the boundaries which are apparent are not the actual boundaries. What has been done is that every district has been shown with the dominant language in it, therefore if some tehsils speak the neighbouring language(s), that is not clear here and therefore the boundaries apparent are not the actual boundaries. Initially I had made this kind of map, but then I reverted to the simple demarcation around district boundaries because that was simpler. However, there will be an issue with districts like Allahabad, for example, where west of Sangam speaks Awadhi, north of Ganga speaks Awadhi and makes a transition onwards to Bhojpuri, and the part south of Ganga-Yamuna speaks Bagheli. Similarly for Kanpur. If Kanpur Dehat and Kanpur Shehar are considered as one district(as they were earlier), the Eastern part speaks Awadhi while the Western Kannauji. Therefore I've shown the Dehat district as speaking Kannauji. Maquahuitl^talk! 03:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Many such sources are available in linguistics books. However let us keep the map simple and attach explanatory notes with it. Maquahuitl^talk! 07:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Numbering

I think for both the sake of simplicity nad WP:UNDUE we should not emphasize the Nizari numbering system till later on. At this point in history the Nizari did not exist, so it's a bit revisionist to include their numbering scheme, and it will be complex for readers to understand. Our note that the Nizari rejected Hasan (he is a Pir not an Imam) on the Ali, Hasan, and Husayn timelines should make this clear enough. I myself am Nizari, I have nothing against them. --Enzuru 20:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

That's a good idea, let's remove all the sects until splits occur. Since Zaidi aren't Imami Shi'a (their conception of Imamate differs from traditional Twelver-Ismaili), we will keep "Shi'a Imam" till as-Sadiq, and then split it from there to Musa al-Kadhim as a Twelver Imam, and Ismail ibn Jafar as an Ismaili Imam (as you can see on his page, I address the numbering issue). lol, I could tell you were Twelver from your name! --Enzuru 06:40, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how you want to keep the split format, so you should go ahead and make the changes. --Enzuru 09:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Looks wonderful! Thanks! Do you agree to the idea of changing Shia to Shi'a Islam? So like, 1^st Imam of Shi'a Islam. --Enzuru 22:46, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

You've done enough work, I'll make the changes. Thanks again. --Enzuru 05:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
