Talk:Nalanda College, Colombo

message: *No unvaluable or unnecessary data are included in this valuable encyclopedia for Nalanda College. All data are relevant to the school. Nothing is copied from any of the other schools or from any where on the internet. References are given for the facts that are included. "list of alumni of the named school" are on almost every school page that are published on this valuable encyclopedia wikipedia some even have photos of their alumni Lists of people by school affiliation against the name. We have no intention of using this valuable encyclopedia wikipedia to advertise Nalanda College, Buddhism or it's Alumini. Infact Nalanda College has it's own web page on the Internet that is highly advanced than most of the school web pages found on the Internet. Nalanda College has got relevent internal links, external links, references etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masu7 (talk • contribs) 08:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *I have cut down the list to only blue links with one exception, moved sections around as well. Images were removed as the lack of other content to put them into context with made the article into advertising. --Lendorien 16:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: * rv edits from 202.168.11.6  to last version by Rjgodoy - Reversion performed because no rationale was given and the article itself was not modified. Please see Wikipedia:Cleanup process and notability. -- Rjgodoy 11:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Please give rationale when removing templates

message: I am reverting edits done by User:203.194.12.46 to previous version. I had previously cut the list down to notable names, blue-links. Please see Wikipedia:List guideline for guidelines on this before reverting. Please also keep in mind that all names on the list are supposed to be properly sourced as well. --Lendorien 21:04, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Please, people, respect Wikipedia guidelines for notable personalities and for what an encyclopedic article is supposed to look like (see Lendorien's remarks above). What you are doing is not conducive to the development of Wikipedia into a reliable, serious source of information. In the end, with an article like that, Ananda College itself will become an object of ridicule. Thank you. Krankman 21:38, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing redlink lists

message: :Image:Nalanda Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: Your behaviour and attitude towards Nalanda College Colombo is appauling. I know that you are a highly decorated and awarded wikipedian. This time you even put "Nalanda Central College Colombo". What's next name on the list ? (Masu7 (talk) 22:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, do not keep putting up the ANI notice template at the start of each of your posts. I've just done some map searching on Google Maps. The two names refer to different locations. A search for Nalanda College Colombo locates to central Colombo (next to Ananda as the article says) while a search for Nalanda Maha Vidyalaya locates to separate girls and boys schools in Minuwangoda. To make things even mroe confusing, there is another Nalanda Maha Vidyalaya article for an obscure school in Elpitiya which Google maps locates to another Ananda College. I think the editors need to hash out which schools they're talking about before going back to the article. Masu7 please refrain from attacking editors when you have not attempted to discuss the article content at all. Also, Cossde's "awards" are not from Wikipedia, they are signs of appreciation of their work by other editors here. Any editor can place an "award" on any other editor's user page. Please read this policy. --Blackmane (talk) 11:34, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

text: It may be hard to decipher from the ^above^ but the issue here is whether this article should be titled Nalanda College or Nalanda Maha Vidyalaya Colombo. For editors who are not familiar there are a number of schools called Nalanda Maha Vidyalaya but this article is about the one in central Colombo. The Wikipedia policy we need to consider is WP:COMMONNAME which states "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language". The school's official name appears to be Nalanda Maha Vidyalaya but we need to ascertain its common name. The school calls itself Nalanda College. A Google search for Nalanda College Colombo returns 132,000 results but Nalanda Maha Vidyalaya Colombo only returns 32,500 results. Google map shows the school as Nalanda College. Even the Ministry of Education calls the school Nalanda College in this news release. It's clear to me that this article should be called Nalanda College.--obi2canibetalk contr 15:55, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
