As I was cleaning up Dalits article, I saw your creation on Iyothee Thass. I had the same ref and wanted to create an entry on him one day. You beat me to it and I am gald that you have done a better jobb than I would have. I have another rare material on a Tamil from Medan Indonesia who converted to Buddhism during the same period and was instrumental in creating a Tamil Buddhist community in Indonesia. One day I will create it. Great Job. Taprobanus (talk) 04:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Sir, by fact, I have created the page named Australian cricket team in India in 2008-09, the information used in this page is good and very important, and I by heart appraise your contribution to Wikipedia, but to reduce the no. of pages, you should add this info, to the main page Australian cricket team in India in 2008-09, as this page would be visited by users mostly, so to avoid any confusion I request you to move this info to the main page, as of October 5, 2008, Australian Cricket Team has arrived in India and has played 2 practice matches as well. Your replies are invited. Thank You.AradhyaUser talk:Aru123 14:36, 5 October 2008 (IST).

You have recently added NPOV tag in the history section of the article, Discrimination faced by the Bihari community in India.

2 articles on Australian cricket tour of India should be merged
It was suggested that the content of the article you created before the tour should be moved into the article on the actual tour, which is going as scheduled (first Test just concluded few hours ago). As the original creater of the article, I suggest that you put it into a paragraph on the tour article, and edit in view of the fact the tour eventually went ahead. If you can't or won't do it, another editor may be less merciful to your work...--Nitsansh (talk) 15:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Are you trying to threaten me? I strongly object to the tone you've adopted in speaking to me in my talk page. It was unnecessary. I would rather advice you to be more civil. Now, regarding the article, User:Aru123 had earlier contacted me in my talk page and I've already expressed my stand and my concerns about the issues that might arise. However, User:Aru123 hasn't responded yet. And if you so desire, let me post our correspondence on the talk page of the article itself.-RavichandarMy coffee shop 15:44, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I've copy-pasted my correspondence with User:Aru123 on the talk page for the article. Regards -RavichandarMy coffee shop 15:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Ravichandar, just curious to know if you live in chennai --PlaneMad|YakYak 17:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Quick note
Hello Ravichandar or should I address you as HRH the King of TN DYKS? ;) I had been doing some background reading on developing articles related to TN political history. I have come to understand that TN political history seems to be pretty unique and funnily enough can be criticised as communalistic by some and yet as revolutionary by others. I have noticed that you been creating pretty extensively many entries directly related to the dawn of the current Dravidian politics. Well, my first question is, do you have any article in mind that you are planning to move on to FA? If so, is there an ongoing colaboration, in case there isn't are you looking for one? I was also wondering if I can suggest Dravidian parties article to be improved. I created this article and tried to move it to GA and obviously it did have some problems and failed. I am to be blammed for it. Anyways, this article does not cover Madras United League or Madras Dravidian Association as it would be called later, which marked the dawn of the Dravidian politics. I was about to creat an entry for that, but realised that you might be more interested in it. If not, I might go on with it. Anyways, the bottom line of posting this message is to enquire with you, if you might be interested in improving Dravidian parties article? BTW great work dude. Really impressive. Wiki San Roze†αLҝ 06:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Yup you are spot on in your comment about lack of info in that article on Justice party and its history. Thanks for the info on your sandbox and I will add on to it. I most certainly do not own that entry. lols. I think Madras Presidency is a nice article to go on with. Do you have any structure in mind already to go on with it? In my experience on wiki (which is very limited) as well as otherwise, it had always been easier to start afresh rather than to improve on whats on there earlier. It usually ends up patchy after a few reads since you get used to the flow. I shall stop bugging you here and will get my lazy unholy backside working on it. :D Ciao Wiki San Roze†αLҝ 11:16, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey again. I found this article on how Ooty came to be the summer capital for Madras Presidency [1]. I wasn't sure where to add this info. Hope its of some use. Ciao Wiki San Roze†αLҝ 06:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Blocks are not punitive, so no further action will be taken against Anwar saadat. I will, however, keep that diff in mind if he acts up again after his block expires. Thanks, Nishkid64(Make articles, not wikidrama) 22:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
hi Ravichandar
In the current status Agamudaya Mudali are different from Thevar. Their cultures and customs differ from thevar. They rarely intermarry with Agamudaya Thevar. So why to merge this article.It's better to be a separate one with convenient edits —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sureshmaran (talk • contribs) 11:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I have edited the Agamudaya Mudali section. Please check it--Sureshmaran (talk) 12:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

At Talk:Undivided India, we are discussing your merger suggestion, and I wonder if you might like to suggest another article for merging Undivided India into? Strawless (talk) 19:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC).....
Mr.Ravichander, do not think that by protecting your bloody web page on iyers and vadamas, your dirty lies will survive or thrive. IT SHALL BE DESTROYED SOON!!!now it is quite clear to me that the word iyer(or ayya) is same as english word liar.I'm unable to comprehend as to how one can interpret the word sabhayar in the chola inscription to be that of a specific group of brahmins. it is quiteclear that such an interpretaion cannot be treated as a human error but a well planned initiative to spread lies and misinfo using web..
