[edit] You have been blocked for 31 hours
You have been blocked for 31 hours for edit warring on both Hate group and Sangh Parivar. You went near or past 3 reverts on both within a 24 hour period. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 12:53, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

sorry i was away on holidays.--Poulton 09:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Paul Varghese
Thanks for asking me about my notability tag. First of all, let me underline that this tag is juts expressing a concern, and neither a definite judgment. For the moment I'd leave the tag since
- the links are mostly of the news type which you would expect to find for any performer
- I currently see him closer to another comedian that I actually nominated for deletion than to Russell Peters
- Leaving the tag may help to involve other editors —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tikiwont (talk • contribs) 13:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] AfD nomination of Albanian-Udi
An editor has nominated Albanian-Udi, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Albanian-Udi and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

I should thank you for your interests.--Dacy69 19:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks so much for the barnstar!
I find it amazing that both sides on the India vs. Pakistan battle are accusing me. One side is calling me a "weak, balless Indian" and the other is calling me "Pakistan-history stealer!" It gives me great pleasure to see that beyond the POV-pushers there are people to support and respect the neutrality of Wikipedia, where every view is fairly represented. Here are two quotes, which I greatly admire.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus Epistle to Galatians
I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear. -- Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita
May you have a prosperous time on Wikipedia and in your real life! GizzaChat © 00:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hi, need some help on Anti-Brahmanism page?
I've tried before to get it more neutral, tried different things, like you, at one point added the [citation needed] markers, but to no avail. These people will revert anything that asks for support for their POV. I have basically given up on it, but if you're still interested you can put some such [citation needed] markers back in, and I will assist to keep them there. Problem is these people are Wiki lawyers too, so gotta be careful. Gschadow 03:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Response to your advice
Hi, thank you so much for your good advice. You mentioned to draw in administrators, but with my experience last time I felt like an idiot. These admins don't seem to see the game that is being played. Anyway, I decided to have a life instead of wasting it on Wikipedia fights. Just wanted to reach out to like minded people to see if we can help each other out. Thanks again. Gschadow 00:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Categories
When you add categories to articles, please pipe them properly (copy the categories already there). --Mel Etitis (Talk) 17:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Don't worry — none of us knows everything, even after years here. The best thing to do is to copy what you see others doing, as well as to read documents like WIkipedia:Categories. "Piping" an ordinary internal link is to use the "|" symbol to change what the reader sees:
- [[User:Mel Etitis|elephant]] is seen as elephant.
- Piping a category does something different: it changes the alphabetical order in which the article appears at the category page. For example, I think that you've added Category:People from Kerala to Rahul Easwar; his name will appear at the category page under "R", because that's the first letter of the article. It should, of course, be under "E" — so you pipe the category: Easwar, Rahul.
- By the way, also:
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.
Happy editing! --Mel Etitis (Talk) 20:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Checkuser procedure
Please take the time to read the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. I am delisting the case you filled, the information you provided are not enough to perform a Checkuser. -- lucasbfr talk 18:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC), Checkuser clerk.
