message: This is straight, shameless political self-advertising. Every few sentences is one reading like a political slogan. Some of it's straight out incoherent: "though he was as instrumental in being the appropriately minister maker". If someone in the MDMK thinks this is furthering your cause, you're very much mistaken. You are instead representing the organization as being partisan, and capable of seeing only one side of a situation. And to someone with historical experience, it appears you have adopted boilerplate revolutionary language whose foundation is not in reason (this is an encyclopedia), but in hysteria.

text: He changed his name legally to "Vaiko" in the late 90s.(see official candidate list for 99 elections before that it was "vai. gopalsamy". The "Naidu" was never there. Persons born after 1940s in TN almost never use caste surnames. The problem arises when non-TN person writes an article about a TN born person and if he knows the subject's caste, appends it to the name (what sheela bhatt of rediff did).--Sodabottle (talk) 12:50, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

text: In summary: His birth name is "V. Gopalsamy" or "Vai. Gopalsamy". He is commonly known as "Vaiko" and later changed his name to it. Either of the three is fine (though "vaiko" is preferable per WP:COMMONNAME). But spelling it as "gopalasamy" or appending "naidu" suffix are both wrong.--Sodabottle (talk) 13:08, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Original name was V. Gopalaswamy Naidu. Please see (http://www.sangam.org/taraki/articles/2006/11-29_Vaiko.php?uid=2093).Kumarrao (talk) 14:25, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: See the explanation given above. The interview was done by a north indian (a rediff article), with no idea of tamil nadu naming conventions. You can check the ECI affidavits to see what name he uses and what his common name is. TN people from TN almost never use caste surnames since the 1940s. --Sodabottle (talk) 15:49, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
