?? Can u be more specific? If you want to get an idea about the general trend of my contributions, have a look at my contribution log. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers! Baristarim 21:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

No, I am not admin.. :))) But you have an interesting take on things. Interestingly, some users out there might agree with you.. It is not a vote per se, people can say "keep" or "delete", but at the end of the day it is the concensus that is important, not dry votes.. Welcome to Wikipedia by the way, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.. Baristarim 22:08, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Dont worry about that, i got confused.. try using the ":" instead of "*" for replies.. Cheers! Baristarim 22:10, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response

Selam Whitehero, I welcome any new users that I find—the criteria is any user who hasn't been welcomed yet. As for your second question, I guess you know if you ask them. They might also mention where they're from on their userpage.

Regarding Sarma and Dolma: I reverted you because I felt your edits were not neutral. Dolma for example is not only a Turkish food, but it is also found in Middle Eastern and Greek cuisines, see Britannica for example. To start out by saying, "Dolma is a well known Turkish food" would refect a certain point of view (or POV), and I think it's better in an encyclopedia to not claim ownership over anything.

I'm an American, specifically from California. Cheers, Khoikhoi 00:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
