Hi Krishna. Could I kindly request that you disable the blinking in your signature henceforth. It is hugely distracting and annoying to other editors when used on shared pages such as WP:FPC. See some guidelines at Knowledge (XXG):Signatures#Appearance_and_color. I'd also request you to go back and remove the existing examples of the blinking. Regards, --121.216.213.210 (talk) 14:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. Mission accomplished. :-) --@ツ KrIshnA 11:32, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

I'd love for us to have more India culture-related Featured pictures, but, unfortunately, there's a rule that images need to be a minimum of 1500pixels by 1500 pixels, and being of an interesting and valuable subject can only get you so far with things like blurriness and such. If you like, I'll gladly try and help you find and evaluate images on subjects - I can't find everything, but I know where a lot of free resources are. Just give me a list of possible topics.

I'm not an expert on Indian culture, though, so do forgive me if I have some stupid questions while trying to find things. =) Adam Cuerden 12:33, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

As a start, would this be of any use? http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ppmsca.30873/ (Hint: When using the Library of Congress archive, always download the TIFF and convert to JPEG/PNG. This gives a MUCH higher resolution file. Adam Cuerden 15:19, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. It helps me a lot. --@ツ KrIshnA 04:22, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Knowledge (XXG) appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sudeep Nagarkar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Krishnaprasaths,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Srinivasan Associates Private Limited for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. R!j!n (talk) 07:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sudeep Nagarkar is suitable for inclusion in Knowledge (XXG) according to Knowledge (XXG)'s policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Knowledge (XXG):Articles for deletion/Sudeep Nagarkar until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:47, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
