Hi CRC43, thanks for the message on Deviathan's talk page. I am always open to collaboration, so I would welcome your help.

If you would like to help translate މެމްބަރު:Russavia/Polandball into Dhivehi I would be most appreciative. Feel free to do the translation in my userspace, and when it's done we can move it to Polandball.

I will try to find more Maldivian aviation photos to upload to Commons. If I have trouble finding more aviation photos, perhaps photos of Maldivian people, places, everyday life, etc would be suitable to upload? Would that be ok for you?

If you have any questions/comments, feel free to reply here (I have your talk page watchlisted). Cheers, Russavia (talk) 04:17, 7 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I have created a category on Commons for the files you uploaded at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Kaashidhoo_Kuruhinna_Tharaagandu. Feel free to amend the category as necessary. Also, did you see the large group of photos I uploaded, especially of the anti-government protests from March. They might come in useful even on enwp on articles to do with the protests, etc. I'm going to keep uploading as I find more interesting sets, etc on flickr. Cheers, Russavia (talk) 08:01, 8 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Forgot to mention, if you are writing articles on this monastery, in the external links section of the article, if you add {{commonscat|Kaashidhoo Kuruhinna Tharaagandu}} this will link to the commons category directly. Russavia (talk) 08:36, 8 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)


Thanks for the help man. It is much appreciated. The commons category thing, I had no idea I could do that. I would be sure to read up more on it later.

No worries mate, anytime. If you want to see how the Commonscat displays, you can see this at މެމްބަރު:Russavia/Polandball#.DE.84.DE.AD.DE.83.DE.AA_.DE.8D.DE.A8.DE.82.DE.B0.DE.86.DE.AA.DE.8C.DE.A6.DE.87.DE.B0 for example. The same commonscat template works the same way on most projects, including enwp, etc. Russavia (talk) 03:24, 10 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Hi again mate, I notice, as you mentioned, that many of the admins on dv.wiki are not active. I notice that you registered here on dv.wiki just recently, but I think that given more editing by yourself that you will possibly be able to request adminship for yourself, if you intend on being more active here; it would certainly be a good thing for the community I think. I also note that you raised the issue of an IRC channel; at meta:IRC/Channels is a list of current channels on freenode.net. It might be worthwile using #wikipedia-dv on freenode for an IRC channel; I guess you could go ahead and create it, and add it to the meta page, and "advertise" it here on dv.wiki. What do you think? Russavia (talk) 07:04, 7 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

That is the general idea. But I would like to create an IRC group as a group, and certainly wouldn't mind google groups, msn, facebook or any other medium given a good enough majority. So me, creating one is out of the discussion, for now...
--CRC43 (talk) 07:15, 7 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I am very inactive now. But i still contribute from time to time. Its just only me and a few users who work here. Some of them are now totally gone. But i would gladly help in any way i can. Oh, and the page you have requested is unprotected now. Registered members can edit it. Please let me know if you have any trouble. You were unable to edit it because the page cannot be edited by unregistered and new users. --Glacious (talk) 21:49, 7 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Oh and about the request for adminiship, please read it here. you see, I have worked here ffor a long time. But still there is a lot to do.

--Glacious (talk) 21:53, 7 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC) If there are any pages to be deleted such as, Say it in Mahl page, please insert the {{delete}} template to the page and save the page. And I will do the needful. Regards. :)

Its great that you are not dead (seriously :P) If you do respond when needed, there is no need for me to have adminship. I am working on the Rannamaari Story and Kaashidhoo Kuruhinna Tharaagandu article. If you are well versed in any of those, feel free to lend a hand. Infact, it'd be appriciated. --CRC43 (talk) 02:31, 8 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)
Sure thing, But please, if u have a message to me write on my page as i will not always check your user talk page

Cheers!! --Glacious (talk) 04:24, 8 ޑިސެމްބަރު 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your opinion on the font matter, how about we check it on both fonts and choose what suits best? :) Cheers!

Do you do article requests? On my userpage I listed possibilities for new articles in Maldivian Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 08:58, 2 މެއި 2013 (MVT)


First of all, sorry for the late reply. Second, I would love to assist you in translating anything but I can't find many reliable sources on the subject. I may have to visit the official ministry of Islamic affairs to get the required information. Then also, well documented sources are hard to find (That is, if possible). I don't know whether you have my page watched, but I leave a copy of the reply on my own page too , for the benefit of anyone that may happen to stumble upon it.

Dear CRC43, Could you kindly contact me at my user talk page at en.wikipedia.org or by sending an e-mail to me? I am looking for a few people who are well-versed with Dhivehi / Thaana and use the language natively. This is in connection with the verification of a Dhivehi font being developed. You may also link me to some more friends/wikipedians who can read/write in Thaana script. Thank you. Viswaprabha (talk) 11:54, 16 ޖުލައި 2013 (MVT)

Aviation photos from Maldives އުނިއިތުރު ގެންނަވާ

Hi CRC43, how are you? Hope all is well. You may remember that we did a little collaboration some months back. Just thought I would let you know that I have uploaded a heap of aviation photos from Maldives to Commons, after I got this Flickr stream relicenced. It would appear that we now have Maldivian aviation well covered on Commons. I am of course displaying a selection of these photos on my dv.wp user page. I hope that these photos will come in useful for article development here on dv.wp, and if there's anything I can help with, do let me know. Cheers, Russavia (talk) 07:36, 2 ސެޕްޓެމްބަރު 2013 (MVT)

salam bro. though i am not active on this wikipedia as much as i used to, but however if someone is here to help i would gladly contribute. i have been monitoring most of the changes brought. seems like you have been quite active. lets get this wiki up and running? Glacious-


  • Haha, yeah, I have tried to follow your changes with the templates. I'm just doing random stuff that I think Maldivians would like to search the internet for - with emphasis on contemporary Dhivehi words for things that do not show up on Google Searches. I'd love to help you continue the work you and others have done.
