Warning to me
Regarding your warning to me, polls show that GWB is the worst president, so I don't see any reason not to redirect the pages to him. If a foreigner wonders, "who's the worst US president?" how will they know otherwise? Jiberole 03:02, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
A request
Dear admin, Please do a favor for me.Please make this subsection of Belgaon article brief.few editors were unhappy of its length and went ahead to edit it which I didnt approve because they were missing some important points of either side.I request u to make it shorter yet include all important points of either side.I am concerned about NPOV. If u are not able to do so please request some responsible and neutral person to do it.Thanks. Mahawiki 13:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for reposing confidence in me. However, I do not know much about the issues. I would request you to discuss the matter on the talk page of the article and enlist the assistance of editors who may be aware of the matter. Regards. --Bhadani 13:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, hello! :)
Thanks Bhadani, it was awesome meeting you and the other wikipedia editors on Friday along with Jimmy Wales. I look to a fantastic relationship with all of you, and hope that we can do everything we can to make Wikipedia popular in India, and get more people to contribute to the Indian-language Wikipedias. Achitnis 13:56, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. We shall surely do it, and take the desire of Jimmy Wales to its logical conclusion by increasing the awareness about wikipedia in Indian languages. --Bhadani 14:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Bangalore meet
- Thanks for the nice words. Hats off to the interest shown by you and others who travelled all the distance to just attend the meet. This is something that adds color to such meet ups. I'd been a little busy over the weekend and couldn't put time aside for the mails as much as I'd wished to. Cheers, --H P Nadig * \Talk \Contributions 15:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Ramazan
Thanks for your greetings. It is always nice to hear from you. Siddiqui 02:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Re:
Bhadaniji, Thanks for your Ramadan greetings. I do miss things back home ... I don't know if you've ever been to the Muslim areas of any Indian city during Iftar time ... especially the street vendors/food stalls etc. In Bangladesh, the scenes are awesome, and the food items the best tasting of any time. I am scheduled to visit home this winter ... but I still miss not being there right now.
I saw your photo in a blog post on the Bangalore meetup, and it was nice seeing you all. I don't know if Jimbo will ever visit Bangladesh, but I hope I'll meet him sometime in the US. I also hope that the Bangla wikipedia will match the big ones soon. I don't have enough time for wikipedia these days because of my advanced PhD work, and for my focus on Bengali wikipedia development, but I try to edit here and there daily.
Wish you all the best. Don't know whether you celebrate Durga puja or not, but in any case, best wishes for the coming puja. --Ragib 07:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your greetings - wish you and your family a happy Diwali and New Year. What did you discuss with Jimbo? What's the cue for the rest of us? Rama's arrow 16:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Good stuff
Your work on the Dictionary of Hindu Lore and Legend, and the use of it to describe various hindu mythological creatures is very well done. You've covered many mythological creatures, and have gone to good lengths providing refernces to them. This may not have been possible if not for your contributions (so it seems judging from their history sections).
Like I said before, Good Stuff. Freedom skies 11:11, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! In the future, you can place suggestions on the tip-line. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 18:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
unlock Kaveri River?
Hi Bhadani. The article Kaveri River was locked by User:Blnguyen on 25 September. He has since gone on wikibreak. Could you look into the possibility of unlocking that article? thanks. If you are concerned of the possibility that an edit war might ensue, I offer the suggestion that you could unlock the article, see what happens, and if an edit war ensues, you could lock it again. I don't know what the rules are for admins in this case, and perhaps that is not an option for you. Sincerely, --BostonMA 23:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Bhadani, what time is it in India? It's 10:30 am here in Melbourne. I really liked those pictures from the meetup. It was nice to see pictures of everyone, but you know what really stood out to me? There were no women! It looked like a guys day out! Are there any Indian women who edit?

Request for help
Sarvagnya and dab are in some conspiracy to get me blocked. Sarvagnya gave me a bogus warning here for removing a cat from Nathuram Godse. Now he's trying to get dab to block me [2]. Even though dab cannot block me (to do so would be gaining an edge in a content dispute and also would violate Blocking_policy#Controversial_blocks ). I can't believe Sarvagnya cant get over his Marathi-Kannada grudges (which I am not a part of) and our clash on Vande Mataram. Bakaman Bakatalk 01:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- I would suggest you to continue your work following all the policies. No one shall harm you. --Bhadani 09:58, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Adding a link
Bhadani, can you let me know the procedure for an external link to be added if the site that the link points to is associated with the person making the addition? Thanks in advance. - Sai 12:05, 4 October 2006 (IST)
- Please see: external links, which contain guidelines, and state that "A website that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be linked to. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, and a difficult one. If it is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let other — neutral — Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link." In view of this, if you want to link the site, please specify on the talk page of the article. Other editors, if found "ok", whould surely link them. --Bhadani 12:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Trying to decipher your message
- Saw you at Raul's law shop and dropped to say a hello after visiting the brothel
The former as in Raul654/Raul's laws. And the latter an article referred to in Andjam/Sandbox. My main concern with the article was all the euphemisms it had, which I subsequently removed.
- I think I did not break any law of good conduct.
What did you mean by this bit? Another reference to Raul's laws? Thanks, Andjam 13:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC) What did you mean by this bit? Another reference to Raul's laws? Thanks, Andjam 13:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Local sources?
Hey, my friend. How goes?
I was wondering if you could possibly help me with finding some sources for an article I happened across. I've been unable to find any relevant material on P. V. Kurian via Google - any, that is, aside from Wikipedia mirror sites. Do you think you might be able to, for instance, find out what his full name was? It might be easier to search for him using that instead of merely his initials.
Please relay my best wishes to your lovely wife. DS 02:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Starting A WikiProject
Hi Bhadani, I saw the pics from your meet with Jimbo Wales. It's great to know that Indians are so active in contributing to Wikipedia that Jimbo himself had to take notice. And of course, you are leading the way. I trully appreciate the things you've done and I wish my best for your future work in improving Wikipedia. In the quest for improving articles in Wikipedia, I am thinking of starting a new WikiProject on Maharashtra for Maharashtra and Marathi-related articles. I know a few editors who are contributing a lot to Marathi-related articles as well as some who wish to. So I thought, it would be great if their resources are focused through a project. I also know of a few editors who are perhaps wasting a few of their resources in getting in brawls with other linguistic users, so it could be good for them as well, if they get a proper direction through a project.
And an admin BInguyen has already created a Portal for Maharashtra, Portal:Maharashtra. So, it would be really good if we have a project like Wikipedia:WikiProject West Bengal.Of course, having experience of creating a WikiProject helps aswell. Yeah, I have already created one WikiProject, Wikipedia:WikiProject Metal, which is now really bustling with participants and a lot of good things have been done because of that. I have already started working on the layout of the project, but it would be great if you provide your views on this. Thanks. --NRS | T/M\B 14:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- I thank you for your message. I have seen Portal:Maharashtra, as also Wikipedia:WikiProject West Bengal. A new WikiProject on Maharashtra on the line of Wikipedia:WikiProject West Bengal is a great idea. If Portal:Maharashtra is converted into Wikipedia:WikiProject Maharashtra than that would avoid duplication, perhaps. Please seek the opinion of BInguyen, he is a great wikipedian. I shall surely try to contribute as far as possible. It was nice to learn about the Project Metal. I wish you all the best! --Bhadani 16:06, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani, I notice that your recent edits seem to indicate some distress. I wish for your peace of mind. --BostonMA talk 16:46, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

- Oh yes, sometimes the discussions can be quite pointless. I often comment on some fairly controversial issues and sometimes I help with vandals and etc - it can be frustrating. Sometimes, when I am frustrated by controversy and politics, I try to find a very quiet corner of the encyclopedia. Writing a stub is a good way to do this. In fact, just today I made Mount Anderson (Antarctica). It is a very quiet little space to work because no one knows it is there! You are welcome to come join me on my "mountaintop" if you need a little break. Whatever you do, I hope you hang in there and that you feel happier soon. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Saare Jahan Se Achcha
The page has been hijacked by the Kannada-Maratha debate. Sarvagnya is trolling on the page and going against a consensus made by both Hindu and Urdu speakers, and with his cabal of Kannada users keeps unilaterally deleting the Devanagari. Ragib protected it, but the debate is nothing more than Kannada-Marathi sniping and Sarvagnya's trolling. Its sad how a useless regionalistic debate can invade pristine Wikipedia pages.Bakaman Bakatalk 23:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Greetings
Thanks for your greetings and wish you the same though I never celebrate any festival. Your greeting actually was your third message for me. I failed to understand the meaning of the first two and even now fail to understand the meaning of your comments here [[5]]. Please don't bother about my presence here. I am not interested in a WP career and my only interest was to attempt a bit of cleaning of much muck (in Kerala related content) heaped here. Administrative abuse, cronyism that condones abuse, supine support for abuse etc. have made me doubt the wisdom of continuing here. Kundan After Sundown 17:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Diwali?
Hi Bhadani,
Diwali greetings to you too. Of course everyone knows about Diwali, so I am not sure if you meant the article. Even if that is the case, I have edited that article in the past. I was offline for the last one day owing to a server outage in my hostel. Keep in touch. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 13:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou, Bhadani. I wish you and your family a happy and safe Diwali. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 01:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

re:Birthday
Thanks Bhadani! Would you believe me if I told you I forgot about my birthday because I was too busy editing :) semper fi — Moe 00:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Hi Bhadaniji. Thanks for the congratulatory message and also for vandalising "one more user page". I hope I am able to live up to your expectations. - Aksi_great (talk) 05:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Greetings
Hello Bhadaniji, thank you so much for the Diwali greetings. I am late in wishing you back but just in time to wish you Eid Mubarak!! -- Lost(talk) 13:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thanks!
When I started my second editor review, I had no idea how greatly helpful it would be to me. Here are people from across the world who I've never met or laid eyes upon, taking their personal time to think about me and offer me valuable criticism and advice. And the stuff I've learnt is more helpful in real life than just on Wikipedia. This is an experiment I will never forget. I thank you most sincerely for your kindness, for helping me be a better person. I am very much in your debt. Rama's arrow 15:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- My response: A Barnstar. --Bhadani 21:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- You are too kind sir. I had just exclaimed to Sundar this morning that I did not deserve so many barnstars, and you come along and give me "Lots of Barnstars!" Your kindness and support are much appreciated. I wish I could have come to Bangalore and met you, Sundar, Gurubrahma and the others. Perhaps the first Wikimania in India will permit us all to meet. Thanks again, Rama's arrow 21:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- You deserve more than barnstars! --Bhadani 21:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
A belated thank you
Diwali thanks go to you as well -- I appreciated reading your message. I hope your celebrations went well. I hope your Wikipedia editing is (somewhat) more enjoyable nowadays. :-) Saravask 19:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
RfA thanks
Please accept my thanks for your support in my successful RfA, which I was gratified to learn passed without opposition on October 25, 2006. I am looking forward to serving as an administrator and hope that I prove worthy of your trust. With my best wishes, --MCB 17:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC) |

Your words of wisdom
I have added your first law of wikipedia to Wikipedia:Motto of the day/October 27, 2006. I hope you don't mind, I thought it was quite profound. You can remove it if you dislike being quoted. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 02:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

If you have any other enlightening/clever/deep quotes, feel free to add them here. Cheers, The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 02:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Discussion on caste
Your input would be aoppreciated on whether lists or cats should be used for caste lists on the Indian Noticeboard. Bakaman Bakatalk 01:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Unrelated topic but w/e
My userpage on hindi wiki has been vandalized by an impersonator. Are there any en-wiki users that can indef-block the vandal?? Bakaman Bakatalk 02:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- It is really sad. I would suggest you to please take up the matter with admins of Hindi wikipedia. --Bhadani 10:47, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Proposing a change at WikiProject India
Hi,
I'm proposing a major change related to WikiProject India. I'm trying to build a consensus. Your suggestions/views/ideas are very much valued. Please talk about it here. Cheers. -- Chez (Discuss / Email) • 06:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. If possible I shall surely give my inputs. --Bhadani 10:46, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
Thank you for the wishes, Bhadaniji! I hardly realised a year had passed. But as Robert Frost reminds me through your user page, I have miles and miles to go before I sleep. Cheers!--thunderboltz(Deepu) 14:41, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply
I dont know who the Hindi admins/bureaucrats are. Could you tell me which en users are admins there?Bakaman Bakatalk 15:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Let me search a little more to know about Hindi Wikipedia. --Bhadani 21:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Karma in Hinduism
Bhadani, People keep on insisting that Hinduism's view of karma is not different from Buddhism. I say a central role for Hindus is believing that God has a role in karma. Please contribute here at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Priyanath#God_as_Divine_Accountant
Thanks for your help!
Raj2004 19:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Let me see. I do not have much idea but I will try to understand the issue. Thanks. --Bhadani 21:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

your recent post regarding the wikitravel link
Well here is the justification..For example I went to the Grand Canyon page on wikipedia which is probably the best example of a tourist destination..and in the external links section they have a wikitravel link. That would be very natural because once a visitor has learned more about Grand Canyon at wikipedia he would probably like to get travel related details that he can find at wikitravel. Hence the link and hence the importance. And then if you do the same for the Taj Mahal you would essentially do it for every tourist destination in India. How would you decide to keep it limited? And how does that mean to be promotional in any way? You have not given any justification for that. I dont think wikitravel is promotional, or linking to it being promotional in any way.
Also, Indore at wikitravel is an empty page and so is Taj Mahal at wikitravel. But I still linked it. I presume that would mean that those pages at wikitravel will have to be written at some point in time too, even though they are empty right now. Let me know if I'm wrong. The reason why I started out doing this is becuase it was my first time editing at wikipedia and I thought it would be the easy things to do before going on to do something harder. Its like getting yourself familiar and getting your feet wet. I thought that in the process I would also get familiar with what all the pages look like right now. And please dont think that I would be playing wicked games here, because its my valuable time here before anything else. In any case, I guess you are the admin here and in all seriousness you can decide on what I have written above and let me know if it still needs to be discontinued and that it is not important. Thats not a problem. Let me know what I can do otherwise to be more useful. If need be those links can be removed. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anchitk (talk • contribs) of 29.10.06

Thank you for your note! :-) Kirill Lokshin 17:14, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you
Hi Bhadani, thank your for the barnstar. You write:
- "Many do not like Indians to maintain India related pages"
It is possible that I have blinders on. I see many India related articles editted by Indians and mostly I do not see remarks suggesting that Indian editors should not be maintaining these articles. I do see that occasionally, but have thought of it as isolated editors, rather than it being widespread or an instiutional problem. Please tell me more.
I had to investigate to learn what the BS on the barn star stood for, i.e. "Back Scratch". The barnstar page says it represents an "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" ethos, causing me to do some soul searching. I sometimes like to think of my actions as being motivated by my duty, rather than by the fruits that I might reap. But your gift has helped me to remember that we are never as noble as our pride would like us to believe. Reminders of the truth are always a gift, even if they are not universally sought after. A sweet gift, such as you have given me should not be the cause of any embarrassment. Your brother, --BostonMA talk 18:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

- Hi Bhadani. Do not fear that you have offended me, you have not. It is I who should apologize for misunderstanding the meaning of the slogan and causing you to worry. There is a Thanksgiving holiday in the US. It happens less these days, but from time to time I have been invited to dine with friends and feast upon a bird. Although I decline this gift because of my diet, I must still recognize the gift as a gift, made sincerely, and perhaps even with love. I know your gift is genuine, and I tried to accept it as I understood it, and I am sorry that I misunderstood. (misunderstanading based on summary here) Now I owe you a barnstar, and I shall choose one presently. --BostonMA talk 14:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani
Hi Bhadani, Have you seen the "Glossary of terms in Hinduism" ? I have compiled large number of entries from Indian epics. You may like to see and comment. I found that "List of famous Jats" is listed for deletion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_famous_JatsYou You may like to vote to keep it. Thanks. burdak 15:19, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Is There Any Project on Islam ?
Hi Bhadani, remember me ? We had some correspondence on Holi in March. How are you ? I was inactive on Wikipedia for a long time. I intend to be active now and contribute as much as I can. I just joined this project on Maharashtra called Wikipedia:WikiProject Maharashtra, as some user New Rock Star had invited me. I will work in that project. But I also want to other projects if they are available. Especially is there any project on Islam or related ? And is there any project on cricket or football or movies ? Can you please provide me the links if projects on these topics exist.
