[edit] Kadamba map

Marking the disputed boundary differently and giving proper explanation doesnt make it POV does it? It makes no sense to have complicated disputed regions in a historical map, modern administrative boundaries seem more than sufficient for reference -- PlaneMad|YakYak 21:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

But i dont see which point of view we are advocating with this map? -- PlaneMad|YakYak 18:40, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image permissions

Hi Nichalp. I've forwarded the mail which contains note from the author of Image:Mighty_Jog.jpg to release the image under GFDL to permissions@wikipedia.org as asked by you. Thanks Gnanapiti 00:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Haus ← Haus42

Hi, do you mind having a second look at this usurpation request? You tagged it as {{not done}} on the grounds the target account was only created a couple of month ago, but it looks from the logs as if it was created on 10 January 2006 not 2007. Thanks, WjBscribe 16:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charts

Fixed. Thanks for catching it. BTW, those blotches were caused by text boxes that were "flowed" into frame; "unflowing" them gets rid of the problem. Saravask 19:45, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Goamap.png

Hi. Can you please provide the source of Image:Goamap.png? I'd like to make a modified version. BernardM 18:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I meant the modified version you made. I'd like to translate exactly the one you put on WP. Don't you have a Gimp .xcf file or something like that? Thanks. BernardM 08:03, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Can you give me the nude map then? (without any name) Just keep orientation and scale (but without the numbers). Btw you have a done a great job making this map from the original. BernardM 07:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Usurption request for username: Basil

I humbly ask you to reconsider your position on my request to usurp the Basil (talk · contribs) username. This user only made a single, one-line edit to a talk page over five years ago and hasn't been active since. As an aside, this was my late father's name and I wish to use it in honor of his name.

At last count, I've over 1800 edits and have contributed multiple articles and templates to the Wikipedia mainspace. Dan has previously approved this case. I'm a dedicated member and would really appreciate if you would reconsider this case. Thank you, Pepto gecko 22:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for allowing me to change my username and doing it so quickly! Per your suggestion, I've added a note to my talk page about the name starting with a Cyrillic В. Many Regards, Вasil 18:15, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] need to change the "you're a sysop" template

Hey, I can't find this template, but it needs the word "ban" changed to "block", as these are different concepts and an admin really can't flat out ban an IP. Could you point me to it, or just change it? Thanks, — coelacan — 05:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] kaziranga again

Hi, I cannot understand what u really want from the Tourism section of kaziranga National Park. Do u want it to be deleted or other modification if any u want , pls. specify it clearly. Dwaipayan has done some relevant changes in the sections. As per of the licensing of images, messages forwarded to concerned department. Red links, I suppose is not a hindarance for an article to become a FA. U said removal of subsections, which ones except the seasonal variation, which i found very hard to copyedit. Amartyabag TALK2ME 10:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I have resisted copy editing this article till now for fear of stepping on toes, but decided to make some rather bold edits to make the article easily readable by the World.
Should I continue on the body of the article?
Amarty: You've done a great job on this. Step back and relax, you're getting myopic and OCD (:-). This article will be FA soon enuf.Marcus 18:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changing user name

You appear to be the bureaucrat who changed my user name from S. Miyano to Arfan. Thanks, it is much appreciated. I suppose you forgot about the talk page, so could you please move User talk:S. Miyano to my talk page (which is currently User talk:Arfan (usurped))? Thank you very much. Arfan 17:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellaneous bits and pieces

Hi, there are a couple of usurpation requests you denied when clearing the backlog that you might want to take another look at.

  1. Wassermann ← WassermannNYC. You denied the request on the basis that the requested account was created last month, but actually it was created on 25 February 2006 [1].
  2. Aldor ← Cyvros. Similarly, this account was actually created on 10 January 2006 [2].

Also,

  1. I've moved a few talkpage for recently usurped accounts to the right locations. I'll try and keep an eye out for those in future so you don't get bothered about it as much.
  2. I updated User:Nichalp/sysop to reflect the fact that AfD discussions now last 5 days not 1 week- hope you don't mind...

Yours, WjBscribe 18:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Indiastates&utnumbered.png

Well, same request as for districts' map. BernardM 18:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goamap

yep check ur mail —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Planemad (talk • contribs) 18:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

Conversion depends on the organisation of the layers. If you can send me the map without the text, i can convert it to vector format. If the different colours are on different layers its easy, but if its been merged then it could get a bit complicated. -- PlaneMad|YakYak 18:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kaziranga

What do you think about the present structure? Sections, subsections ok? "Seasonal variation" ok? Fauna subsections needs to be there, IMO. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Check out this version. All sections got rid of subsections, except "Fauna". Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Is the current version allright for submitting to the league of copyeditors? Pls. reply. Amartyabag TALK2ME 15:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change of user name

My email address was known to certain people who wanted to attack anything and anybody associated with Labour politics locally. So when they saw I had made the amendment, I received the hostile emails. Who knows what motivates such people? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pnethercot (talk • contribs) 21:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] username change

you changed my username as requested - April 2 - but it is not working for me. When does the change become effective? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Catriona1 (talk • contribs) 23:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC).


[edit] move request

Hi, can you please also move my user page to my talk page? I don't have much I want to reveal about myself, and don't see essential to have a user page.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 07:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


To make sure I'm explaining it right, I would like the same thing that BigDT did. When you click on his user page, you're redirected to his talk page.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 18:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's been done, but I don't how a non-admin. was able to do it.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 05:23, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

That was now answered aswell. All thanks gos to Z.E.R.O.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 22:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Usurpation policy

Hi Nichalp. I've been looking at WP:USURP and I see that requests to usurp names with any edits whatsoever are refused. I've been thinking of requesting to usurp User:KissL which was created by me some time back as a doppelganger account (it was at a time when name changes were not possible) but I made two edits with it, to its userpage and its user talk page. Is there a point to place the request in this case, or will it have to be refused? Thanks in advance for clarifying that, KissL 08:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Username

I have resubmitted the change of username request. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Catriona1 (talk • contribs) 19:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] New sysop banner

.. the one you just posted on User:KFP's page is missing a </font> tag and is leaking large yellow text!! I'd fix it myself but it's subst'd and I don't know where from. Just thought you should know. Point me to it if you like and I'll fix. You're prolly busy :) - Alison☺ 06:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

See User talk:Nichalp/sysop, I can't copy it over though as I'm not an admin and it's protected. — coelacan — 10:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Thanks, Coelacan! I merged the changes and deleted. /div instead of /font - Alison☺ 10:45, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Usurpations and time limit

Dear Nichalp, Don't you think there should be a time limitation for the users to post or have something in their talk page to support eligible Usurpations? For example, I can't have my name Cyril because someone made a single edit in 2001, which was reverted later and nothing in the user talk page. Don't you think it's a good idea to set a time period for the user to make a contribution or talk page edits? Can you help to make or amend the policy? Best wishes, --Cyril Thomas 12:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Dear Nichalp, it's not about my usurpation, I was talking about the policies in general, is there a way we can discuss it with the policy makers? That was my suggestion.--Cyril Thomas 00:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Dear Nichalp, well, in Marayoor case, the peer review was almost favourable but there were better articles. I hadn't put categories, enough external links, references etc. May be that was the reason for the FA result. In Marayoor, we are making a book, information and tourist guide, and I am editing it here in Scotland. I am surprised you still remember the Marayoor article. --Cyril Thomas 11:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oooops

Was there any problem in your geography copyedit (Kaziranga)? I think we clashed. I was doing the references of History while you were at Geography. Seems everything is ok. Still, just have a look. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok. I just created Flora and fauna of Kaziranga National Park by simple copy-pasting, anticipating you may do the copyediting of that portion today. I may not be able to follow your copyediting today with referencing, but will do later. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Hi Nichalp, I already have permission in the form of a comment on Flickr. Author wants attribution, which I provided on the pages. Tell me what else i might need to do. I thought CC Commercial was an allowed licence for Wikipedia ? A bit in the dark about publishing licences, sorry. Thanks for all the effort on Kaziranga National Park. I will put up a disambig page on Kaziranga sometime this weekend. ray 13:21, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Most of the images are uploaded to the commons, how to link a picture to the commons , have same name as in En-wikipedia. Moreover permissions sent about 2 weeks back no respose yet from the Wikimedia. I have the ticket number with me but theydidn't tag them. Should i tag them? Thanks for ur help.

[edit] Moon

Hi, I've responded to your comments here. Regards, Nick Mks 17:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RCA

You should be aware that there is a little glitch with the bureaucrat script. As a result you recently deleted a few RfAs from WP:RCA [3] [4] (all fixed now). See my previous chats with Taxman about this [5] [6]. Cheers, NoSeptember 14:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[7] But is awareness enough? ;) NoSeptember 18:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Deletion of your sandbox articles

Yes, It's okay to delete the sandbox article. I am planning to write a python script that will add {{delete}} to all the completed ones. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 16:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shahbag

Hi Nichalp, I've been bold, and nominated Shahbag for FAC. I think most of the comments you made in the peer review have been addressed. Please take a look and express your opinion. Thanks. --Ragib 07:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Shahbag

Shahbag is an FAC now. Care to take a look? Cheers. Aditya Kabir 15:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Username Change

Well my username is to close to my first name (max, obviously) and my email address, i would tell you how close, but that would defeat the urpose pf not relealing it to protect my identity... Max 02:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hi

Hey, will do once I finish my travels (in 2-3 months hopefully) :). Hows it going? --Pamri • Talk 12:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey could you update this [8] and rate Sivaji: The Boss.

Most Kind of You, Cheers

[edit] Request for 1996 India Map Outline

Dear Nichalp,

I am a student who will greatly appreciate your advice on how to find a pre-1996 map similar to the remarkable one you created on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:India-locator-map-blank.svg>.

Do you think you could advise me on how to find such a map? The problem is that my senior essay uses pre-1996 data. Hence I'm desperately looking for an editable map where the state of Madhya Pradesh includes Chattisgarh, and so on for Bihar and Uttar Pradesh as well.

I shall eagerly look forward to hearing from you, and can definitely provide more details if you so require.

Sincerely, Noremainder 02:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
