[edit] Thanks

I just wanted to thank you, as technically you're the only person who's given just "support" on my RfA. I appreciate it.

I normally wouldn't bother, but in light of someone actually posting on my talk page telling me it might be in my best interests to withdraw the nomination, I figure I will, but I don't know how.

If you could also explain about the Recent Changes Patrol and New Page Patrol, I'd appreciate it as well.

Thanks again, Clint 05:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt response. Yes, I'd like to remove my RfA. Considering the massive amount of "oppose" votes in so little time for such a minor reason (though I can understand the general caution), I figure its not worth my time to pursue it right now. I also figure it will help in the future if I have a withdrawn as opposed a rejection if I ever apply again... Clint 05:55, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISBN

With due respect to you, I am astonished that you "find it hard to believe that Indian books do not carry ISBN numbers." THis is called as Cultural Divide, where in you are not able to accept that there is a world outside your country. By the way, even Bible did not have an ISBN number when it was published for 19 centuries in 200 languages till the 20th century. I am not talking about one word or one article alone, but I am worried, that most of the Wikipedians do not understand other cultures, other countries or other languages. In India we have Medical Colleges (not medical schools). We are not permitted to have an article about "Medical Colleges". Instead the article on Medical College automatically redirects to Medical School. I get a reply that there is "nothing called as Medical College" What to say about this. The truth is that the administrator is NOT AWARE of the concept of Medical College. WHen he does not know anything he automatically assumes that it does not exist. In this regard, (I am sorry to say) I find the users from the so called developed American and European nations who are so adamant and do not even believe that there is a world where there are drinks other than cola, and dress other than shirts. The same with ISBN :) :-) Doctor Bruno 18:29, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for butting into this conversation. Given that ISBNs are universal in the west, I see why you're skeptical. Nevertheless, I assure you that it is still common practice for books to be ISBN-less in India. ISBNs are common (though not universal) in English-language publications, but are quite rare in vernacular publications. You can verify this yourself if you like by going over to the British Library's Public Catalogue, and running a search on "purananuru" (a classical text on which there've been quite a few Tamil academic works written recently). If you look at the ten or so post-1990 Tamil-language publications from all the results the search throws up, you'll see that only two of them have an ISBN listed. The results are more or less the same for any other Tamil term one looks up - and these, being books the British Library thought important enough to acquire, actually come from the better publishers, who're obviously more likely to acquire ISBNs than smaller publishers. -- Arvind 15:04, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I never said that "INDIA does not use ISBN #s on books" . That was a misinterpretation. Please be kind enough to read my posts and see. I told that "95 % of Indian books do not have ISBN." Also books published before 1980 do not have ISBN. Only a very few percent of Indian books (that too technical books) or books by big (international) publishers have ISBN. I don't know how I can explain this to you. This is a fact. And this is the practical situation here in India. How can 'I' explain a social phenomenon. You have to ask the publishers. But the truth is that a vernacular book or a book circulated/sold inside India has no advantages if it has ISBN or not. On the other hand, getting ISBN number involves cost (which may be a small amount for Americans who give in Dollars, but the expense involved in getting ISBN in India may cost more than 50 copies. How can you expect every publisher to get ISBN number when they have obvious benefits with the ISBN number

I am glad that you are "curious" and not "astonished". Curiosity is the beginning of learning.

I have written 6 medical books. Only 5 of those have ISBN. 3 publishers got the ISBN Numbers. The other publisher did not get the number. What can I do.Doctor Bruno 17:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:DRV

It's not policy and I'm re-adding the tag. Ardenn 05:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

It's not policy because there's no tag on the page saying so. And if it did get reviewed there, then those people should contribute to the AFD. As it stands, no one has. Ardenn 05:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

There were an entire 2 comments at DRV. That's not impressive, even if it was policy. Ardenn 05:52, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed comments

It was an accident, which I did not know about and regret. The servers were behaving terribly; my own edit had to be submitted four times to register. Effectively an edit conflict which was not caught by the edit-conflict screen. Septentrionalis 06:00, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Do you want your edit back on ANI? It's the only one of those still missing [1] Septentrionalis 04:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

You weren't a dick; somebody noted the glitch, and there were a couple comments still gone. I replaced the others, and asked you. Septentrionalis 06:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additional detail on WP:AN report about User:Vkasdg

Sorry to bother you but having read your earlier comment I thought I'd bring your attention to this personal attack (21:31, 4 April 2006) I just found by that individual... this editor really is a bad apple and needs a good long block. Netscott 03:36, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for responding, I realized that you weren't an admin but having found that additional act of bad faith on the part of that editor I thought you might want to adjust your commentary accordingly. Netscott 03:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] signature

Uhh...just to let you know, I still need help with my signature question in the Village Pump. Thanks. Jonathan W 00:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I think there's a problem with my sig. I type it in like this:

<font size="2" color=#00FF00 style="background:#884400"> Jonathan</font>

And it's supposed to look like this:

Jonathan

But when I type my signature, it looks like this!!!

<font size="2" color=#00FF00 style="background:#884400">Jonathan</font> 02:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Do you know how I can fix it? (How do other users like lightdarkness not have this problem?)

I hope you don't mind me asking you personally instead of putting the question on the Reference Desk.

Jonathan 02:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

FINALLY my signature worked!!! Check it out: Jonathan ^talk 00:33, 15 April 2006 (UTC) See Wikipedia:Village Pump (technical)#Signature. We added "span style" to my sig. and that seemed to make all the difference.

[edit] IP ranges

Hi! I have marked a page you created, Onthost/IP Ranges, for speedy deletion, but the title seems to suggest you have planned to place that under your userpage. If that is so, move it to the correct namespace (and mark the resulting redirect for speedy deletion, please). Anyway, be advised that the information should be (and is) already present in IPv4 subnetting reference and Classless Inter-Domain Routing. --Mormegil 21:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've moved the text to User:Onthost/IP Ranges - I hope that works, it by itself really isn't main namespace material, at least at its location -- Tawker 23:24, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure if there is a template for no personal attacks on yourself, but its a pretty easy mistake to make, don't fret about it :) -- Tawker 23:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just another RFA thank you note

Dear Onthost, I appreciate your vote and your kind words in my RFA. It has passed with an unexpected 114/2/2 and I feel honored by this show of confidence in me. Cheers! ←Humus sapiens ну? 03:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi there, I've just finally managed to upload a new version of the .NET Bot Framework. It now has support for getting the links to a particular article, using the Editor.GetLinksToArticle(string Article) function. All functions are properly documented using XML documentation.

[edit] Maps

Thanks. I will use it in the Tolga-Os article. Perhaps you want to do the second task as well, namely combine Image:Nord-Fron kart.png and Image:Sør-Fron kart.png to create a map for Fron (call it Fron kart.png)? Punkmorten 08:26, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I have more combinations for you if you want:

• Image:Øvre Eiker kart.png and Image:Nedre Eiker kart.png to Image:Eiker kart.png
• Image:Nordre Land kart.png and Image:Søndre Land kart.png to Image:Land kart.png

Thanks in advance, Punkmorten 12:33, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! If you want, you can create:

• Image:Stjørdal kart.png and Image:Meråker kart.png to Image:Stjørdalen kart.png

[edit] Your signature

Hello there, I was wondering if you would please modify your signature to conform to the guidelines laid out at Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. The general guidelines are that signatures shouldn't contain images, they shouldn't contain unnecessary internal links or any external links, and they shouldn't be unnecessarily long in Wiki source. The reasoning for this final bit is that overly long signatures tend to overwhelm the actual comments in edit mode, making it hard to track down and respond to specific comments. You can fix your signature by removing any images and external links, any unnecessary links (like links to Wikipedian organizations, articles, or subpages in userspace), and removing excessive color, font, and formatting code. Thank you. --Cyde↔Weys 18:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The "it's a guideline not a policy so I can flagrantly ignore it" tactic is not going to wash. Remove the image from your signature. --Cyde↔Weys 02:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Err, I'd like to just but in here with a suggestion: Commands are unlikely to be effective. It is a guideline and as long as a person is polite while they flout it, that's pretty much the end of it. - brenneman ^{L} 14:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ice (in case of emergency)

re: Thanks for wikifying Ice — Haha, no problem mate. I stumbled across it today because someone mentioned to me about the Ice program, and I thought I'd look it up on Wikipedia. I never knew it existed until today. Always nice to know my random edits are appriciated by someone. Hey, looks like we share a common interest in medicine. I'm a lab tech in a histopathology department at my local hospital while I'm on a Biomedical science degree. I'd love to go to med school one day.

[edit] Re: Apple Macintosh

Thanks for your support. I didn't come to that article looking to take it over or make any controversial edits; what I did is 100% supported by the MoS and standard technical writing format. If this guy thinks that he has the right to revert acceptable MoS changes just because he doesn't like the aesthetics, he needs to be put in line. Ignorance is one thing (I didn't know about this particular nuance of SI formatting until a few years ago), but continuing to argue after being corrected looks foolish. Again, I didn't want to pick a fight, but as I said on the talk page, I am done arguing and will re-add the spaces in line with MoS if he removes them. If it becomes an edit war (hopefully not), I will take this to mediation. *sigh* It just boggles my mind that even some long-time editors don't think the rules apply to them. -- uberpenguin 13:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed.

[edit] ISBN's

Hi Mike, I noticed a discussion that you had with another editor regarding ISBN's for books printed in India. The discussion may be stale, but I thought that I offer my knowledge of the subject. After reading that discussion, I went to my bookshelf to check. My copy of Srimad Bhagavatam, published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai, has no ISBN that I am able to find. It is a hardbound book with strong pages, a stiched binding, and a plastic dust cover. This same book can no doubt be found on many bookshelves in India. Surprisingly, however, I noticed that some of the books in my posession, also printed in India, which were of much lower quality had ISBN numbers. I'm not sure why that should be the case, but it is. Anyway, I hope that my observations may be of use to someone. Sincerely, --BostonMA 12:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copwatch delete

In your vote to delete Copwatch you said it should be deleted because it references its own website. I agree that this is generally inappropriate. However, most of this article is about the network of organizations called Copwatch, not the Copwatch.com or Copwatch.net websites. Why not just edit out the mentions of those sites, rather than delete the entire article? The whole reason I added the section on Copwatch.com was to point out that it is not representative of Copwatch organizations and is a completely separate entity. Someone else added the Copwatch.net information, and I don't think it belongs there either. Mycota 21:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much for voting! Thanks so much for voting on my request for adminship. I have decided to withdraw my nomination as it seems that consensus will not be reached. If you voted in support, thanks for putting your trust in me to be a good admin. If you voted in opposition, thank you as well for your constructive criticism as it will only help me be a better Wikipedian and perhaps help if/when I apply for adminship again sometime in the future.

[edit] Ice (in case of emergency)

re: Thanks for wikifying Ice — Haha, no problem mate. I stumbled across it today because someone mentioned to me about the Ice program, and I thought I'd look it up on Wikipedia. I never knew it existed until today. Always nice to know my random edits are appriciated by someone. Hey, looks like we share a common interest in medicine. I'm a lab tech in a histopathology department at my local hospital while I'm on a Biomedical science degree. I'd love to go to med school one day. Anyway, enough of my random ramblings, I'll see you around :D — CuaHL^e 23:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks for participating in my RfA. It passed with a final tally of 98/13/10, just two short of making WP:100. If you need my help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[edit] Thanks

Thank you for your note. I want to let you know that I do not intend to comment any more on the topic on the public wiki (and would have sent this by e-mail if you had that feature turned on), but I did want to make sure you know I appreciate your support. Nohat 17:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Squidward

Mike, thanks for the link to the proper Squidward page. Absolutely no hard feelings about poking fun at me: I thought your reply was very funny and perfectly appropriate. I'm happy to get corrected, its the best way to learn. Thanks for your help, Gwernol 18:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Apple Macintosh

Thanks for your support. I didn't come to that article looking to take it over or make any controversial edits; what I did is 100% supported by the MoS and standard technical writing format. If this guy thinks that he has the right to revert acceptable MoS changes just because he doesn't like the aesthetics, he needs to be put in line. Ignorance is one thing (I didn't know about this particular nuance of SI formatting until a few years ago), but continuing to argue after being corrected looks foolish. Again, I didn't want to pick a fight, but as I said on the talk page, I am done arguing and will re-add the spaces in line with MoS if he removes them. If it becomes an edit war (hopefully not), I will take this to mediation. *sigh* It just boggles my mind that even some long-time editors don't think the rules apply to them. -- uberpenguin 13:15, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

	My RfA
	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :)	→AzaToth 09:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISBN's

Hi Mike, I noticed a discussion that you had with another editor regarding ISBN's for books printed in India. The discussion may be stale, but I thought that I offer my knowledge of the subject. After reading that discussion, I went to my bookshelf to check. My copy of Srimad Bhagavatam, published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai, has no ISBN that I am able to find. It is a hardbound book with strong pages, a stiched binding, and a plastic dust cover. This same book can no doubt be found on many bookshelves in India. Surprisingly, however, I noticed that some of the books in my posession, also printed in India, which were of much lower quality had ISBN numbers. I'm not sure why that should be the case, but it is. Anyway, I hope that my observations may be of use to someone. Sincerely, --BostonMA 12:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copwatch delete

In your vote to delete Copwatch you said it should be deleted because it references its own website. I agree that this is generally inappropriate. However, most of this article is about the network of organizations called Copwatch, not the Copwatch.com or Copwatch.net websites. Why not just edit out the mentions of those sites, rather than delete the entire article? The whole reason I added the section on Copwatch.com was to point out that it is not representative of Copwatch organizations and is a completely separate entity. Someone else added the Copwatch.net information, and I don't think it belongs there either. Mycota 21:04, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for your vote of confidence in my recent request for bureaucratship. Even though it didn't pass, I greatly appreciate your support and hope I will continue to have your respect. Thank you! Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:52, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks from Petros471

For a more general RfA thanks to all voters see User:Petros471/RFA Thanks.

In case you haven't checked back, there was a couple of comments left re: my answer to the copyright question, which you might want to take a look at. If you want to discuss the issue further it would be probably be best to take it to Wikipedia talk:No legal threats. Thanks for the feedback and feel free to correct me if I'm making any newbie admin mistakes! Cheers, Petros471 21:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for voting on my RfA

Thanks so much for voting! Thanks so much for voting on my request for adminship. I have decided to withdraw my nomination as it seems that consensus will not be reached. If you voted in support, thanks for putting your trust in me to be a good admin. If you voted in opposition, thank you as well for your constructive criticism as it will only help me be a better Wikipedian and perhaps help if/when I apply for adminship again sometime in the future.

[edit] My RFA

Thank you, Onthost, for voting on my RFA, which passed 95 to 1. That was some interesting comment you left for me... Anyways, now that I have the mop, I hope I can live up to the standard, and be a good administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. —this is messedrocker (talk) 17:50, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
