Hi there. You are now unblocked, and most of your edits have been replaced. We tend to block people faster here than on Wikipedia as we don't have the army of adminstrators, and those we have would rather build the dictionary (so badgering a sysop when he is busy will not win you friends).

Anyway, you might like to know that the OED mentions Tamil in the etymology of the following words (copy/pasted so nasty format). You may reference the OED but try not to make direct copies.

Hi there. That was fine - except for a few things that you wouldn't have known about and I have modified. The Etymology section goes near the front, we have a template to link to Wikipedia, and the References section is always last. I'll reply at length about the relationship between us and -pedia on my talk page. SemperBlotto 16:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
