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?
the page I just came from Bannerghatta_Road you were a complete jackass. I didn't care at all about the topic, and you could well be right about everything you said, but sheesh. I havent checked out the page Rama's Arrow mentioned but on this page at least you were anything but calm and patient, and completely disrespectful. All caps? Cmon, thats just not necessary.

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.

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. Also, when adding new comments to a talk page, please add them at the bottom, rather than the top. Sincerely, BostonMA20:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
woah woah woah! should i say i didnt see this coming. Mr.BostonMA whoever you are, please henceforth, take a look at the real issue and concerns raised before you start harping on the tone. and if caps means shouting then so be it. i'd like to know which parliamentary decree of which country deemed using CAPS as shouting. cite your sources...huh! and that trivality apart, answer my questions
how can anyone consider www.bangalorepotholes.com and projectmonitor.com as notable?? you guys talk about rules and ethics at the drop of a hat, but you turn a blind eye when someone flouts the most basic of WP rules on citing sources. and none of you are new to WP for me to assume good faith and ignore the lapse.
how is the condition of a road in some corner of the world encyclopaedic?? and how on earth is an article on Bannerghatta road even worth being mentioned on WP. B'ghatta road is not a tourist attraction like Marine Drive or Rajpath of even M.G Road in Bangalore...it has no claim to fame to warrant a WP entry.
how can current affairs be worth a WP mention? it is for the newspapers and magazines to take care of. it is not for an encyclopaedia.
how can you keep talking about nothing but the road conditions and call it 'INFRASTRUCTURE'??
answer all these and many other concerns raised on those talk pages and then start harping on my 'lack of tact', venom etc.
and just for the record, i'd like to know where else except in my recent edit of the B'ghatta Road page i have been anything less than tactful and patient?? please let me know. ONE INSTANCE!! let me know of ONE INSTANCE other than this one where i have lost my patience. STOP LYING AND PLAYING TO THE GALLERY. LIKE I SAID, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Sarvagnya
Sarvangnya, please read WP:NPA. Accusing someone of lying may be considered a personal attack. Also, the behavior of editors is just as important an issue as the content of articles. --BostonMA21:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks. [1] --BostonMA23:56, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Anon
Hi Sarvagnya, I see that the anon is making edits only to talk pages. S/he appears to be fanatical about Tamil language. Ignore them if they're just trolling in talk pages. Tell me if they cause any trouble with articles. We need to warn them using templates like {{test-n}} etc., before taking action on him. -- Sundar\talk \contribs06:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you!!
Thanks for your award. It surely feels good to be recognised. I will continue the effort.

I AM DEMANDING NEUTRAL APPROACH.STOP POSTING AGAINST MAHARASHTRA GOVERMENT.[reply]
Hi. I read your comment on the notice-board. Please do not revert further. You have already broken rules. See WP:3RR. I will give my suggestions soon. If you continue this then both of you will be blocked regardless of who may be right. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:57, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Belgaum
Hi. I have made a few changes in the article Belgaum. See this. I have kept the use of Belgaum as a name as Belgaum is the more popular name used by the people and more importantly the media (as it is verifiable). I could not fathom what you people were fighting about. Please do not remove any citations from the text. Make changes to cited text only after discussion on the talk page. Do not revert each other again for 1-2 days on any article. I do not have time to make chages to the Belgaum district article but you could copy-paste the "Border Problem" section for now. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 19:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. I have made changes to both the article now. Hope you agree with the changes. Mahawiki has agreed to the changes. If you have any problem with the changes I have made, please use the talk page of either article. I will look into the matter again tomorrow. Regards - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Those anon edits were a very bad idea. I had almost filed a case at WP:RFCU. Anyways, I am glad the the issue has cooled down. Please don't engage yourself in a revert war again (anywhere). It wastes a lot a time. As this case proved, it takes only a few minor changes and the solution is acceptable to all parties. If you again get involved in an edit-war just walk away from the article for a few hours after reporting the incident at a relevant place. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I said - it takes only a few minor edits and a third party to resolve any dispute. I wouldn't go as far as to call his edits vandalism. This is vandalism. All other sorts of edits cannot be reverted more than 3 times per WP:3RR. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What is editing article when admin adviced against it,editing as anonymous,deliberately provoking by removing Belgaon(its in Marathi,BTW,offical language of state of Maharashtra!)??Isnt it vandalisation??Truth is out!
21:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Sarvagnya caught with pants down
I didnt vandalise!Now its clear who's guilty by provocative removal of 'Belgaon' by a ANON!!! Stop this dirty game now.It just justifies my stand as i dont need to log out and have my say there.Truth prevails no matter what how u try to hide it!Dont keep embracing ur version of story!Get real guy!!!
Plz stop all these things.Insulting Maharashtra govt wont change the truth.
I wasnt aware of those so called warnings.And in any ways including notorious anti Maharashtra sentences in this article was WRONG because Deccan Herald is a subsidary of Vijaya Karnataka.A citation from TOI,Indian Express etc is acceptable.Stop crying foul buddy.Ur gimmicks are now known to all,dear anonymous editor!
mahawiki21:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Final say in the matter
I am not going to reply to anyone now. I would appreciate if both of you stop bickering on my talk page. I am very much aware which versions were being fought. I do not consider any edits involved to be vandalism. What you both did was worse than vandalism. I will only reply to messages on the talk pages of the respective articles. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 20:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
