Nana Joshi

Tintin, Nice article on Nana Joshi. The Manual of Style quotation information that I was referring to is in Manual of Style-Quotation Marks:

Note: if a word or phrase appears in an article with single quotes, such as 'abcd', the Wikipedia:Searching facility considers the single quotes to be part of the word and will find that word or phrase only if the search string is also within single quotes. (When trying this out with the example mentioned, remember that this article is in the Wikipedia namespace.) Avoiding this complication is an additional reason to use double quotes, for which the difficulty does not arise. It may even be a reason to use double quotes for quotations within quotations.

So, if you want "Nana" to work well in a search, then the double quote works. For example, if someone was to put Nana and cricket in the Wikipedia search, the Nana Joshi article would come up in the search results. Note, this is the double quote ", not two single quotes ( ' ' ).

Hope this helps. —ERcheck @ 01:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I've created a template Template:User KERALA wiki as well as a category, Category:Kerala_Wikipedians in an effort to bring together all the Kerala Wikipedians. I believe there are no such existing categories. So, please add either the template (which will automatically add the category) or the category to your userpage.

R.P. Singh

My take on it.

I feel R.P. Singh could still be the current cricketer's article. More people will look for the current cricketer than the former one.
Let us create, R.P. Singh (disambiguation) listing the two articles.
Rudra Pratap Singh could be redirected to the disambiguation page.
R.P. Singh article could say,

For the former cricketer born in 1963, see R.P. Singh (former cricketer). For others, see R.P. Singh (disambiguation)

C. Ramaswami

Hi Tintin. I'm at work, so it'll be late this evening before I can take a look. Johnlp 12:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right, Ramaswami was given birthdate and "presumed dead" between 1988 and 1991, as you know. It then reverted back to a birthdate alone from 1992 to 1995. Then "presumed dead" reappears from 1996.

Maka is birthdate alone until 1999, when the word "dead" appears. The present wording for both dates from the new typography used for the first time in the 2004 edition (I think the typography changed then, but I can't find my 2004 edition!) when it became d. unknown.

Your msgs. on my talkpage

Hi Tintin, I will look into them. I was in the midst of DYK updation when you were sending those messages. A recreated PROD deletion cannot be deleted by CSD or PROD - it has to be taken to AFD. Also, it is not necessary for anyone to improve an article before/after removing PROD. Again, such cases need to be taken to AFD. I feel that "CricketWatchDogs" is notable, because it got lot of press in its earlier avatar of ihateganguly.com. It also led to formation of a rival site, ilovesourav.com. It can probably be expanded. the Filmfare 50 years article can be probably put up for AFD - I will think about it. The other article under the wrong name, I'll delete it. btw, I cannot resist the urge to state this, given that I am fresh from a DYK updation.

Did you know...

...that you could delete Wick Eyre by yourself if you became an admin?

"Shock" and "Daddy" White

Hello, Tintin. I've changed the piece about 1771. The Reigate player was Thomas "Daddy" White, who was a noted opponent of Hambledon through the 1770s. "Shock" White was a Brentford man and quite different. In fact, we have records of two different matches played on the same day in 1773 and these two were involved, one in each game. All the best to you. --Jack 10:44, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brabourne stadium

I think 35,000 is a bit too high. The stadium hardly has a mention in the papers so it would be difficult to ascertain the strength of it. I've been to it a long time back and 20,000 seems a likely figure. The Rolling Stones concert info would probably also include the capacity of the ground too.

Photos

Tintin, I don't understand what your saying. -- I@n ≡ talk 15:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see now and yes you should. Here's the discussion that ensued with regards to a photo I uploaded which has now been deleted (thread recovered from Image talk:Bradman out for a duck.jpg):

This image was marked {{AustraliaGov}} but that template has gone away. The administrator who deleted it tried to change it to {{PD-Australia}}, but I don't think that can be right because the image wasn't created in Australia. The source, http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/bradman/scrapbooks/47/bsb47055.htm, says that it's out of copyright, but I don't know whether it's out of copyright just in Australia or in the USA too (which is what really matters). Any idea how we should proceed? (Copyright is too complicated and lasts too long!) Stephen Turner (Talk) 15:44, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen, I don't know what I was thinking tagging as PD-Australia as the photo was taken at the Oval. Thanks for reverting (from tne history, it seems User:Petaholmes did the same previously). In any case I cannot understand a rationale for using AustraliaGov, but that's by-the-by now anyway. Where to now? My uderstanding is that under the Berne Convention, if a work was produced in (say) the UK, and copyright is applicable, then other jurisdictions (ie USA) will recognise that copyright. The question is, is the picture under any copyright? The source [1] says it's out of copyright. The State Library of South Australia's demand for a request of permission from them is (IMO) a bit of a furphy: if copyright has expired what right do they have to ask for that? What's a suitable tag then? I'm thinking {{Fairuseunsure}}. Any comments? Regards -- Ian ≡ talk 10:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, Ian. I don't have a clear view on this. The source is an Australian source, so probably says it's out of copyright because it was taken before 1955. (Does that make it out of copyright in Australia, even if it is still copyright in the UK?) Basically, I'm confused what to do with it. Are there any experts on Wikipedia we can consult? Stephen Turner (Talk) 16:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen, from the reference for the {{PD-Australia}} verbage [2]: There is no registration procedure for copyright protection in Australia. The Act lists categories of material which are protected by copyright. If something can be classified as one of these categories, it is automatically protected as soon as it is “fixed” in material form—for example, written down, drawn, photographed, recorded on audio or video tape, or saved to computer disk.. The source may be Australian, but my guess is it's a cutting from a British newspaper of the time. I'll post a question to Wikipedia:Copyright_problems. -- Ian ≡ talk 17:50, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it's put there, it will certainly be deleted after seven days, so I wonder if there's a way to get a considered opinion before that happens. I still suspect there's a good chance that it's PD, or failing that that we can claim fair use, but I'm not certain enough myself, and I don't really know how to get an expert opinion. Stephen Turner (Talk) 21:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's the dilemma. The two areas I know of where we can ask this question are Wikipedia:Copyright problems, which demands that {{imagevio}} be added, and Wikipedia:Requested copyright examinations which will only look at images before they're uploaded. If it gets deleted because of the ruling, then so be it. -- 16:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

It would appear that the image will remain in copyright until 2018. See this pdf. Drew (Snottygobble) | Talk 05:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About the nedumpally article, I think it fails notability. The fancy history part, is something it shares with perhaps half of Kerala's population.
