If you ever need editing help visit Wikipedia:How does one edit a page and experiment at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. MB 15:43 14 May 2003 (UTC)

Hi Sudhir, welcome. It's good to see more people contributing from Kerala. I would like to invite you to check out the Malayalam version of Wikipedia. Wikipedia uses Unicode to encode the pages. Unicode support for Malayalam is still a bit limited in most systems. If you are interested in contributing, please leave a message in my Talk page, I would love to give you some pointers. Thanks and keep up the good work. ~Vinod 15 May 2003

The most probable reason why you couldn't see anything on the Malayalam Wikipedia is that you don't have a font which supports Malayalam Unicode range. The best font around is from Thoolika Unicode produced by Supersoft in Thiruvananthapuram. I particularly like the traditional version. This works almost perfectly in Windows 2000 (and XP, I'm told). The script processor (a file called USP10.DLL which ships with Windows has some problems. A newer version is available (unoffcially) from Microsoft which works better (it has some problems whith rendering chillaksharams). In order to contribute you'll need either a software which supports a Malayalam keyboard (the usual keyboard in which the keys are interpreted differently) or use a transliteration software like Varamozhi which uses an intutive scheme to produce Malayalam letters from Malayalam-typed-in-English text. I thinlk it'll take a bit of time before the Unicode support is complete. In Linux, I understand that there has been some effort, but unfortunately the font I mentioned above doesn't work very well. There are other fonts which work in Linux, but they are incomplete. I can give you more information if you are interested. ~Vinod 16 May 2003

Sudhir, thanks a lot for deciding to join the Malayalam Wikipedia effort. Varamozhi doesn't have direct support for Unicode. You need to type in with some non-Unicode font which Varamozhi supports. Note that the Thoolika option in Varamozhi refers to a non-Unicode font of the same name. Then you HAVE to use the "export to UTF8" feature and cut-and-paste into Wikipedia's edit box. Cibu very recently put up a new version of Varamozhi in which the "export of HTML" problem in win95/98 is fixed. I found this comment in Cibu's mail announcing the new version of Varamozhi:

• It does not crash with win98 and win95 anymore with 'export to HTML'.
  

Hope this works for you. Do let me know.
PS: Please see your talk page in the Malayalam Wikipedia for some discussion on how we are currently handling the problems with Unicode. Do let me know any ideas/suggestions you have. Thanks. ~Vinod 17 May 2003

Land Reform Ordinance listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Land Reform Ordinance. Since you had some involvement with the Land Reform Ordinance redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). --Bejnar (talk) 05:08, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Sudhir Krishnan. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sudhir Krishnan~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
