re: query

You can't really rename an article, but can click on the "move" link that you see on the top of articles and give a target name. If you want to move something because it has been created by mistake, then you may want to tell the articles to me or some one else who can put it for votes for deletion. See WP:VFD. -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 13:20, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

T-shirts

Currently it is not available in India. But, may be, we can arrange for some. Am thinking of organising a wikimeetup in B'lore with other wikipedians. -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 13:27, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

E-mail

You can click Special:Emailuser/Sundar to send an e-mail. But, for wikipedia-related discussions you can edit the talk page itself. By the way, you may want to read the Wikipedia:Tutorial. -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 13:56, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

re: Name spaces

Hello Sir! How do you start something like this? Allagappan.gnu (talk · contribs)

{{Metropolitan cities of India}}

I don't get your question. Do you want me to create a template like this? Btw, address me just as Sundar, not as Sir. -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 09:58, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Allagappan.gnu. Here's some info that may be useful to you. Example, if you want to create a template {{nameofit}}, the page's location is Template:nameofit . Most templates uses tables, Wikipedia:How_to_use_tables will teach you the syntax to format and produce a similiar infobox you have stated above. Additional help too, can be found at Help:Template. Good luck! :) - Mailer Diablo 11:20, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright

Alagappan, if you've taken the clock tower image yourself and you don't have any problems in open sourcing it under GFDL, can you please go to the image page (Image:Nitt.adblock.jpg), click edit and add {{GFDL}} to it? Otherwise it can't be used in articles. Thanks for the Cities template and image. -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 08:59, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we can't add copyrighted images to Wikipedia. Some companies like Google, Yahoo! etc will have standard logos that can be used in appropriate places. Also, some screen shots are permitted. Most preferred are the ones hand drawn or photographed by Wikipedians. We also have a number of public domain sources for images. Btw, if you have GFDL images, add it to commons. It can be accessed from other Wikipedias like Tamil Wikipedia -- Sundar (talk · contribs) 11:09, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
