[edit] Hi Kinu! Kemiti acchanti?

Hi! Kemiti acchanti, Kinu? Could you please help me translate a very short stub version of 1 or 2 sentences of this article in Hindi for the ଓଡ଼ିଆ wikipedia? Thank you very much for any help you could provide. I hope to hear from you ;) Thanks a billion!!! ;) Yours, Nirmala Ankita (talk) 05:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

P.S. Woof to handsome Gus!! :) He's has such bright and lit-up eyes, and great personality, right? :) -Nirmala Ankita (talk) 05:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Hi, I'll try to take care of this as soon as possible. I might be a bit rusty, but I will do my best. I haven't spent as much time on other Wikipedias as I'd like, so now is a good time to start! --Kinu t/c 06:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your experience at Yale

Hey Kinu, sorry this is non-Wikipedia related, so I hope it's ok with you. But I noticed from your userpage that you are a graduate of Yale University. I was just wondering, how did you find your experience at the university and how was the surrounding city, New Haven? Was there a lot of crime? Thanks. Acceptable (talk) 02:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Not a problem... I'm glad to answer your question. As for my experiences at Yale... naturally, every experience has its positives and negatives. Would I have gotten a similarly good education somewhere else? No doubt about it. However, I believe that, as a whole, it was definitely the right choice for me... I enjoyed the atmosphere, my peers, my professors, and what I got out of it. So "no regrets" would sum it up, other than the fact that I only had four years to spend there! As for New Haven itself... it was no different than any other major city. There was some crime, yes, but I was never witness to any sort of violent crime or serious crime against a person, just maybe a petty theft here or there (and the drunk and disorderly conduct that is germane to a college campus :P). The city gets a really bad reputation, partly because of how it was in the past, but it's really cleaned up lately, and also Yale police does its part to ensure that the area around the campus stays relatively drama free. I hope this helps... feel free to ask more if you feel like it! --Kinu t/c 02:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Basant Giri

hi kinu I want to create a page about Basant Giri. He is a special person. From a remote village of a underdeveloped country like Nepal, struggling with a number of things, now he has achieved something. In my opinion this is remarkable progress. And I think its a matter of inspiration to other people specially young ones to work hard and have a success in life. This is not about myself. I hope you will understand what I mean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nayalahure (talkcontribs) 07:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Please read WP:BIO. --Kinu t/c 07:58, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Piero grossi

Can you salt Piero grossi? It's been recreated many times now. Best, --Bfigura (talk) 05:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Done and done, and I've also blocked the instigating user as well. Thanks for letting me know. --Kinu t/c 05:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks much. Cheers, --Bfigura (talk) 05:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Dwyer

About 5 days ago, you deleted and salted Andrew Dwyer. Andrew dwyer (note caps) was just created, and I noticed the salting when I tried to correct the page title (by moving it). If this new article is still the same hoax, then go ahead and delete it, otherwise please unprotect Andrew Dwyer so that a move can be completed. Thanks! nneonneo talk 20:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks for letting me know. I've actually started an AfD on the article, so I'll let the community decide what step to take next. --Kinu t/c 20:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Markyodoul

Generally I follow a 1RR when it comes to fellow admins, I wanted to touch base with you regarding your block of Markyodoul (talk · contribs) since both Husond (talk contribs blocks protects deletions moves rights) and I declined the AIV request to block this editor. On AIV Husond and I both noted ([3], [4]) that the editor had not vandalized after his final warning, and on subsequent investigation I discovered [5] that Markyodoul had actually stopped vandalizing after receiving a level-three warning. So not only had he not continued to vandalize after his final warning, but he never even saw the level-four warning because he stopped editing nearly six hours before it was improperly issued. Perhaps you are aware of something I am not, but from where I am standing this appears to be an out-of-process block. --Kralizec! (talk) 03:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Feel free to unblock this user... one one hand, you are correct in that the warnings were issued with a time lag (I misread the time stamps, hence my confusion), but on the other, I fail to see anything indicating this is anything but a vandalism-only account. You are more than welcome to unblock; I will, however, keep an eye on this account. Thank you for your message. --Kinu t/c 03:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
No worries on the time stamp confusion; I too had missed the fact that this editor had stopped vandalizing before they were issued the final warning. Had I not been asked to review my AIV decline decision, I would have never even noticed. Since you do not object, I will go ahead and unblock Markyodoul. While I agree with you that there is -based on this editor's history- little reason to hope that he will reform and become a model wikipedian, I feel that process is important and endeavor to give all editors a fair and equal shake. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 04:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Debt-snowball method

Kinu, I apologize because I did not see your first note since I am new to Wikipedia (I use a different wikifarm for my personal wiki). Since I have no affiliation with the software that I put on the Wikipedia page (so I could care less about page rankings in search engines) and the Dave Ramsey article is used as a vehicle for promotion or advertising, I will edit out Dave Ramsey's info from this page and make a general reference to financial advisers and software programs that can accomplish this. It's all about getting the info to the people since debt elimination information is relevant to all of those that want to do it. I personally had a hard time finding the information I needed to accomplish a debt free lifestyle and Wikipedia should be used to let people know about it.

If you disagree with my method, then you do not need to ban me from using Wikipedia. You can revert to the previous page again and let it to continue to promote and advertise for Dave Ramsey. I just simply will advise people I know to use the software that works. After all, there is a Media War going on and I am on a mission to help 1 million people become leaders, and becoming debt free is a part of that process. Jfdco (talk) 22:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] delete versiontracker too

If you want to delete my articles about DriverAgent, DriversHQ, and RadarSync, then you should delete the article about CNET's Version Tracker too. That article is no more relevant or significant than those are... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samsdrivers (talkcontribs) 06:23, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • The article on VersionTracker explains why the software is notable, does not read like adspeak, and contains more than one sentence. Indeed, perhaps the VersionTracker article should be deleted, but its existence cannot be used to justify other articles which meet speedy deletion criteria. --Kinu t/c 06:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Majajabist Young Men Revolution

It seems tha this article has been recreated. I've tagged it with speedy template but user removed it continuously without further discussion. Thank you--NAHID 09:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kinu. In regards to this discussion, said material is being recreated, with the creator removing the G4 templates I applied. I'm wondering if salting might be necessary. Cheers, WilliamH (talk) 11:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks to both of you for the heads-up. I had blocked the original creator, but it looks like a sockpuppet was used to recreate the material. I see he has been rightfully blocked. I'll keep an eye on the deleted articles and salt if necessary. --Kinu t/c 23:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Federal Switchblade Act is not spam

This is not spam. It is a milestone in the switchblade world, & other than the discussion about it, there is nothing about the Act itself. Also the link being deleted is already posted three links above & there is no need for two links that are the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tm49 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • ... and I agree with you. See how much better things go when edits are discussed and edit summaries are used, rather than repeated reinsertion of content? Thanks! --Kinu t/c 01:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My Autobiographical Article

Is it possible to make a site on Wikipedia for the name Brett Ing (myself) that I will be able to show to my friends and family?

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClassCutie05 (talkcontribs)

[edit] Arthur J. Cooperman

Hi. I have recreated the page without the copyvio problem. Can you please reinsert the categories that were on the deleted page. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 16:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • No problem... feel free to add/resort as needed. Thanks for doing this. --Kinu t/c 01:34, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

What the ___, why is it everything I create you go out your way to delete????? How do I get a image of the judge up that's like on a million websites?Ron John (talk) 16:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

How am I suppose to get an image up of the judge?????????Ron John (talk) 17:07, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Find an image that isn't a copyrighted one. Something that can be verified to be in the public domain, something released by its author, etc. Images that are copyright violations are not tolerated and will be deleted. --Kinu t/c 18:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Click-to-donate sites

Hiya. Just a note regarding the AFD and your speedy tag. You were quite correct but got the wrong criteria - A3 is no content - G3 which you tagged for is Vandalism. Just so you know! Pedro :  Chat  10:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Ha... yeah, that sounds right. I think I need to get more sleep. Thanks. :P --Kinu t/c 15:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Just a random "thank you" for getting rid of that obvious spam account on the Cyclone Nargis page (not sure why the "page down" on my keyboard failed me there).Somedumbyankee (talk) 05:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Nothing quite as irritating as self-promotional band vanity accounts. Thanks for blocking him. Could I impose on you to delete his image as well? It's nothing but a self-made, self-glorifying "album cover" which has been up for far too long. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:26, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of WellPetUSA

Hello Kinu, Apologies for not citing my initial submission for wellpet- I am new and thought the website would suffice. I have found the Animal Welfare Groups page and see how this non-profit apprporiately fits into this environment and will shorten the entry. I'd be happy to hear any suggestions. Thank you Gordonterrace (talk) 03:14, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Katie

[edit] apology

i want to apologize for my "attack". I meant everything I said I should have just expressed it in a more subtle way. now back to my defense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hiphopblogger (talkcontribs) 20:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Unblocked User:Finaldrive

I have unblocked User:Finaldrive following this ANI thread, so that the user may participate in this deletion review of Final Drive, which I deleted (most lately). This unblock is in no way meant as a dispute of your original block, which I think was wholly supported. If you think my unblock has been unhelpful, please feel free to reblock without asking me. Gwen Gale (talk) 05:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Reblocked indef because five days have come and gone. Gwen Gale (talk) 06:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bridges on the Mississippi

I am reverting your edits to include the "New Mississippi Bridge" in the "upstream" and "downstream" succession. It likely will be there some day, but right now if you travel downstream from the McKinley Bridge the nest thing to cross the river is the Matin Luther King Bridge. --BirgitteSB 18:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tag Removal & User:Thomasalazar

Kinu,

I am asking for your help, assistance, and input:

Removing tags from articles without fixing the reason that article was tagged amounts to vandalism. Please join this discussion: Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#User:Thomasalazar

He is sockputting to remove tags (mostly about New Mexico high schools and politics).

You did this BLOCK on 76.113.50.208 (talk · contribs) and Thomasalazar came right behind you continues reverting articles.

This user is rude and does whatever he wants. Thanks, ~ WikiDon (talk) 06:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry but

I added James Martin Chapman to The triva part on the Porter Ridge High School page as being the grandson on Tammy faye and Jim bakker. I would like a reason on you takeing it off.There are meny School pages with that kind of information just check Sun Vally High School.I will be adding it again --JackieTeal (talk) 13:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

If you see this kind of nonsense in other articles, remove it; do not imitate it. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
