Hey there. I just noticed that your latest article was imported from another source. If you own or have permission to use the Wikipedia:Copyrights for this material, please indicate this on the talk page of your article. Otherwise, we can't accept it here. If you want to rewrite the article in your own words, please do so on the "/Temp" subpage of the article. Also, regardless of whether this article infringes on copyright, we welcome any other original contributions you may wish to make.

Please be aware that it is not necessary to link every word in an article just because you can, and that many people find heavily-linked text difficult to read. Refer to Wikipedia:Make only links relevant to the context for more discussion on this subject. --User:Paul A 04:58, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Kaal, could you go back to the Economic Group and undo most of the links that you added. There are unnecessary. In particular, you need only link once to another article -- you do not have to repeat the link every time a word appears. Also, there is no point in linking to "percentage" or to "nominate" since these are common English words. thanks. User:Kevintoronto 17:22, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

==Cleanup help==
Hi, thanks for the offer to help with keeping WP:AN clean, but as a fairly new editor on Wikipedia, it might be better for you to get some more experience of how the community works before helping maintain what can be a fairly sensitive page? (E.g. we get a number of accusations of abuse of powers by admins there, etc.) Thanks, and I hope I haven't discouraged you! User:JncUser_talk:Jnc 00:46, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
== tidying WP:VFD ==
don't blank vfd discusions, you can remove speedy deletions from the vfd page itself without complaints but do not blank the subpages. User:Duncharris|User talk:duncharris 22:59, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
== Wikiportal/India ==
Hi, thanks for chipping in with content for the Wikipedia:Wikiportal/India.. Any comments views? What else could be added? Please sound off... I think we should add a link to India Notice board, Indian Current events there. Hoping to hear from you. You can also join me in contributing content.

== Format of Babri Mosque ==
According to what I read in Wikipedia about recommended picture layout styles, the alternating right-left method is optimum. In the Wikipedia:Picture tutorial, the recommendation reads: "Perhaps the easiest way is to make floating images alternate left then right - this way they don't come into contact with one another, and so can't stack up in an unattractive way." In my opinion all pictures alligning right wold be unattractive. There are all sorts of people with all sorts of monitors, we can't optimize for all of them, so I suggest following Wikipedia guidelines.--User:AladdinSE 07:36, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
== Good work! ==
I noticed your edits to Mumbai. Good work with tightening the sentences. I'd appreciate it if you could read and tighten Chennai in a few days. BTW, congrats on your 1000th edit! (I may be a few edits early :-)) -- User:Brhaspati (User talk:BrhaspatiSpecial:Contributions/Brhaspati) 03:13, 2005 Mar 10 (UTC)
== Revert ==
What did you find offensive or incorrect about my edits to evolution that caused you to revert? – User:ClockworkSoulUser talk:ClockworkSoul 19:42, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
* Hello again, Kaal. I haven't gotten a response from you, but from what looks like, you were upset that somebody else re-added a section before I made my changes. If thats the case, I'm a left to wonder why you try to retain my grammar and (minor) POV fixes. After all, you could have easily just removed that entire section without affecting my edits. If it's my edits you don't like, let me know. – User:ClockworkSoulUser talk:ClockworkSoul 20:06, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
==Mmmmmmm, that tastes good==
Mmmmmmm, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/The_Country_Wife flattery], thanks very much, I love that stuff! Have a petit four! User:Bishonen | User talk:Bishonen 20:11, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
== Kalimpong ==
Thanks for copyediting the Kalimpong page. I've listed it as a WP:FAC. You may want to vote... :) == 20:16, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
==Maybe Katie==
Salve, Kaal! You were kind enough to support my Julia Stiles article when I nominated it for Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Julia Stiles. Another article on an actress, my Katie Holmes, is now also a FAC Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Katie Holmes and I wonder if you would offer your comments.

== COTW Project ==
You voted for Decolonization, this week's Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a Wikipedia:Featured_articles-Wikipedia:What is a featured article article.
== Coincidence ==
I just encountered an "edit conflict", which turned out to be the two of us SIMULTANEOUSLY amending the misplaced modifier about the cablecars in Gangtok. I think this article is but a couple of copyedits away from being "feature quality". User:Sfahey 22:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
== Geography of India ==
Would you review Geography of India please?, Thanks =user:Nichalp (User Talk:Nichalp)= 13:24, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
== Indian Railways ==
The Indian Railways is the current INCOTW and your vote helped select it. Please help it attain FA status. =user:Nichalp (User Talk:Nichalp)= 19:35, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
==FARC==
There is a straw proposal here on my recent rule change for FARC: I had added a delay clause to use the talk page for article cleanup before FARC and put it into motion. Some people apparently don't agree with me.
See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_removal_candidates#Straw_poll]. Please have a look. =user:Nichalp (User Talk:Nichalp)= 15:21, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
