Welcome!

Hello, Sarvagnya, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Please be calm

Hi Sarvagnya - please be calm and patient regarding the debate on Talk:Infrastructural Concerns in Bangalore. We respect you, and we are perfectly willing to address your views and objections, and I request that you remain civil to all, and not undertake to remove anything from the article before the dispute is resolved.

where have i been anything but calm and patient on that page?? and where/when have i removed anything on that page?

Another way to user alternate spellings

Hi Sarvagnya, I have noticed that you have changed a number of spellings by using "pipes" like this:

[[oldname|newname]]

Another way to do this is to create a redirect page. That would be a page with the name newname, and its contents would be

#REDIRECT [[oldname]]

In some cases your method is best. In particular double redirects do not work. However, editors are likely to use more than one spelling, you can save them much trouble by creating a redirect page. For example Kaveri and Cauvery. --BostonMA 01:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Ettiquette

Hi Sarvangnya, I notice that on Talk:Bannerghatta Road you have used CAPS extensively. Many people on Wikipedia, and elsewhere on the internet, consider CAPS to be shouting. Extensive use of CAPS and frequent use of cuss words tends to make exchanges unpleasant. Please try to make your arguments with greater tact and less venom. Sincerely, BostonMA 20:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
