## [endre] உறங்குகிராயோ?

ஏலா அரவிந்த்! எங்கே தட்டுப்பறந்துபோய்விட்டாய்? நான் புலிகளைபற்றி எழுதின கட்டுரை வாசித்தாயோ? நாம் தயாரித்த ஈழதெசபடத்தை விக்கிசாந்தயத்துக்கு பதிவேற்றம் செய்யவெண்டும்.

And do you have any idea how to get this viyarttamana &#@% Tamil Unicode to display properly on Linux? Even this tiny message has given me a headache. -- பொன்னா

## [endre] Parsarar

My norwegian is terrible, so I'll stick to english. Apologies for that.

There are several factual errors in the article on Parsarar, in particular the fact that a Parsi (as used in your article) can come from Iran.

Although the term 'Parsi', when used in the anthropological sense, means someone who comes from Pars (the Greek word for Persia), when used the way you do in your article, it means someone who comes from the Parsi Zoroastrian community in India.

The Zoroastrians in Iran are not called Parsis. They are called Zoroastrians. :) Even in India, Zoroastrians that are not descended from the original Persian emmigrants are not Parsis. There used to be legal reasons for this (no longer valid), but the racial, ethnic and cultural reasons still apply. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parsi&section=2

134.93.244.80 29. des. 2005 kl. 19:09 (UTC) ps: I don't have a Norsk wiki username, on the en:wiki I can be reached under FullStop

  Thanks for your comment on the Norwegian wikipedia. The Norwegian name for Zoroastrianism is Parsisme, and the Norwegian word for a Zoroastrian, regardless of country of origin, is Parsar. Zoroastrar and Zoroastrisme are not recognised Norwegian words, so it is not possible to use them on a Norwegian wikipedia. You can look it up for yourself on the official Norwegian dictionary if you don't believe me. I would personally prefer using "Mazdajasni", which is historically the most correct name, but I'm not about to start trying to convince the Norwegian Language Council to amend their recommended terminology.

  I know that this does not reflect the English, Gujarati, or Hindi use of the terms, but that's what happens with words which get taken from one language to another. The last paragraph of the article does explain that "Parsi" in English only refers to Indian Zoroastrians (I know you can't read Norwegian, but I assure you it does). I'm afraid that's about the only thing possible, given the meaning of the words in Norwegian. -- Arvind 29. des. 2005 kl. 19:41 (UTC)

    Agree 100 % with Arvind. I can add that a parallel (but reversed) example is the term «bacalao», which means ‘(usually salted and dried) cod’ in Spanish, but ‘Bacalao Vizcayna’ in Norwegian. Words sometimes display “annoying” differences in their meaning between various languages. -- Olve 29. des. 2005 kl. 20:43 (UTC)

## [endre] Zoroastrianism on wikipedia :nn

Thanks for your clarification on my talk page. Does that mean that the en:Parsi page's link to nn:Parsarar needs to be changed? (some stub in-between to clarify?)

Just a thought... -- Fullstop 20:31, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

## [endre] Hebbar Iyengars

I am a Hebbar Iyengar. Please move back Hebbar_Aiyangars to Hebbar as the term "Hebbar" is not associated only with Iyengars. Also, did you edit the page regarding the history of Hebbar Iyengars? If so can I know what materials you refered to? Thanks Krishna

## [endre] Indian rebellion of 1857

Hi, We again have a case of vandalism at our page, see en:Indian_rebellion_of_1857#Alterations. I would suggest reverting it to the the previous version as on 10:25, 23 March 2006, as I myself do not know how to do that and fix the link. I would suggest to protect the page for it is very much prone to abrupt and absurd changes that are motivated by ideological views and complete disregard for the factual course. I would be willing to accept the administration of this page and related sites, in case there is no objection from other seriously active users there. --134.100.32.73 24. mars 2006 kl. 11:02 (UTC)

- Hi this was me Raj from English Wikipedia. Since I do not have an ID here it is displaying my IP.

## [endre] Thanks for chipping in on Sangam Literature

I thought I'd fixed it before, but I hadn't. Anyway, both the Sangam Literature and Sangam article could use some TLC. I'm planning to work on oth during the next couple weeks. - Kingsleyj from the english 'pedia

## [endre] Skribent/Redaktør/Brukar/Bruker

Hei Arnvid, og takk for kommentaren. Se en:Template_talk:User_no#Skribent.2FRedakt.C3.B8r.2FBrukar.2FBruker for siste nytt om en:Template:user_no. Hvis du foretrekker en skråstrek-form "brukeren/brukaren", så har jeg ingenting i mot det. --Vibo56 5. juni 2006 kl. 14:37 (UTC)

## [endre] Image origin clarification

Hi,

Please can you clarify the source of Image:Dictation of the Guru Granth Saheb.jpg on Wiki Commons? Thanks. 82.37.160.147 28. juni 2006 kl. 21:41 (UTC)

  Sorry, please be more specific. I'm trying to use it on en:Sikhism but we need further clarification because we're going for featured article status. Is there a web site you retrieved it from or is it a picture you took yourself? Thanks. 82.37.160.147 2. juli 2006 kl. 19:45 (UTC)

I want to know the origin of image of Modi script by u?How or where did u find the image,if created by u how did u created it?Pl reply here itself as i dont have login here.

  I made it. I wrote the text in Modilipi using Somesh Bartakkay's "Hemadree Modee" font, and used an ordinary picture editor to create a .png file. -- Arvind 21:09, 14 september 2006 (UTC)

Ok thanks.Where is that Modee font available?

  You can download it from Somesh Bartakkay's website[1]. The font's keymapping is not very obvious - if you're planning to use it regularly, you will probably need to create a keyboard for it. -- Arvind 18:31, 15 september 2006 (UTC)

Thanks but how can we create a keyboard?I intend to use it regularly and I want it phonetic.Is there any tool by which we change the keyboard of a particular font?

## [endre] Kaveri Disputes article

Hi, After a long time, I have completed the Kaveri_River_Water_Dispute article in some shape and form. Most importantly, I've added some refs. Can you please take a look at the article and let me know if there are any glaring POV or anything that has the potential to be seen as POV. If you find anything, please let me know and I will add refs. Also the refs I've already added need some cleanup. Can you help me with this. I only know to add refs the 'plain vanilla' way. Also, while I've added refs for most of the controversial or potentially controversial portions, some parts of the article is still unreferenced. I will add it in due course. For all the above reasons, I've still left the underconstruction tag on. Once I get feedback from you, I'll remove it. I'll also make this request to few other editors, so that we minimise any risk of edit warring on that article. Thanks. Sarvagnya 23:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

## [endre] tamil people picture

i removed the picture because, it gives a wrong impression how sri lankan tamils look alike. I'm myself Sri lankan Tamil and i rarely come across kids like those in that picture. I don't want to say that nobody look like them. I would prefer if u put pictures of adults than kids, because kids are not fully developed. I'll guess ur Indian. To ur information we dont look diffrent than you guys. Sorry i did it again because I thaught it didnt work. :p ... peace.. ASIAN

For me as a Jaffnese I think it's OK, but I dont know what others gonna say. Btw, what kind of language is this page, Swedish?Danish? Norwegian?...looks somehow weird. ..........Asian....
