[edit] THINKfuture Radio Show

You decided to delete the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_THINKfuture_Radio_Show I was wondering if you could provide for us the rationale behind such a decision? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Popcontest (talk • contribs).

[edit] Pundrik goswami

  • Pundrik goswami looked as if it might have been fairly notable to a Hindu, but needed tidying and wikifying. I was going to AfD it with a request for any Wikipedia member who is a Hindu to look at it and work on it. Anthony Appleyard 09:48, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Catholics magazine entry deleted

Dear si nick, you deleted the Australian Catholics magazine entry with what authority? The entry is regardnig a magazine that has a CAB-audited national circulation of 200,000 in australia. It is a not insignificant magazine. Furthermore, the entry was written by the editor himself, so the entries are VERIFIABLE. I will thank you for not deleting it again.

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Hkelkar 2

This arbitration case has closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The parties to the case are strongly encouraged to enter into mediation arrangements regarding any disputes over article content that may still be outstanding. All parties are reminded in the strongest possible terms that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a forum for conspiracy, personal attacks, nor the continuation of ethnic disputes by other means. "Parties who continue such behaviour, and parties who consider it their moral duty to call out such behaviour, will be hit on the head with sticks until the situation improves."

Rama's Arrow (talk · contribs) is desysopped, but is welcome to apply for reinstatement at RfA at any time. As always, administrators should not use their administrative powers in conflicts or disagreements they are involved in. Administrators who are parties to this case are reminded that they should find an uninvolved admin to determine if blocks or other actions against any other parties to the case are appropriate, and should under no circumstances take such actions themselves. Any party that violates the ban on admin actions imposed in this case will be summarily desysopped once the violation is brought to the attention of the Arbitration Committee.

This notice is given by a clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 15:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I saw the deletion summary on your userpage, "arbitration enforcement." If this relates to my block of Dangerous-Boy, please note that the block has been lifted after he agreed to stop his objectionable behavior. If this relates to the ruling that parties to the case shouldn't take administrator action against other parties, I don't see why that should trouble you unduly. I hope to see you editing and adminning again in the near future. Newyorkbrad 21:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unusual Adoption Request

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.

Thank you!

[edit] Speedy deletion

Dear Sir Nicholas, It was with regret that I noticed that the speedy deletion of the page Seoul International Darts League and those of its member teams had taken place. I'm not here to demand their reinsertion, as I believe that was an argument I lost and was never going to win, but, if you would be so kind, could you please give me the coding for the main league page, please? It took me ages to create and, since it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, I thought I'd put it in a more appropriate wiki. If you would be so kind as to send that to me, it would be much appreciated. Lord Barrass of Seoul. JPBarrass 16:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Nearly Headless Nick, Many thanks for your swift action following my AIV report on user TG4, who has been soullessly destroying and messing around with work that myself and collaborators are doing on the Skunk Fu article and its associates.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:SunidhiChauhan.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SunidhiChauhan.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

[edit] WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call


Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add {{User WP Harry Potter}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

[edit] Regarding Bangalore

The following discussion is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

This discussion is officially TL;DR. But from a casual reading of the guideline page, there seem to be a few problems with it, which need to be fixed. Bad guidelines and policies should always be ignored. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 08:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nick,
I wanted to ask you this on your talk page since the Bangalore talk page is getting really cluttered. I know you've voted "Oppose" to the move and I respect that, but what would you make of this policy and more specifically this paragraph, where it says that "English usage is determined by the consensus of its users, not by any government." Further down, in the examples section,

“ Bombay or Mumbai? Bombay officially changed its name to Mumbai in 1995; but this is not the basis for our choice of name. That depends on two claims: that usage in English by locals (and wider English usage as well, to some extent) has changed to commonly use Mumbai, although many local institutions do not, and that Indian English, as an official language, should be followed, in accordance with our policy on National varieties of English. Both were necessary. ”

None of this is true (yet) in case of Bangalore. Still, someone moved the page (an important FA) without seeking consensus or discussion. In fact there's been a group of people trying to move it since last year, when nothing about the renaming had even been decided. Anyway, I'm just trying to get your perspective as to your reasons for opposing the move back to Bangalore, since you are an admin and will know WP policies better than most of us. Thanks, Max - You were saying? 19:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

This specious argument has been answered on that discussion and Maximvs should stop forum (s)hopping. 'A group of users have been trying to move since last year' is a classic case of weaseling (dont remember anyone move it since the previous discussion closed) and is perfectly in line with the tactics that Maximvs has used to sway voters there.
If anything all the "Support move back" votes there should be invalidated because the nominator has doled out lie after lie after lie to the voters there. He has changed his line of 'argument' faster than a chameleon changes colours. Many have supported him by taking his word at face value.. he lied that the change wasnt "official" yet (rediff debunks that. Encyclopedia Britannica debunks that).. he lied that it was a vio of WP:NAME when it most emphatically is NOT! (see the discussion for explanation) He simply has some inscrutable dislike for Kannada users who in his jaundiced eyes come across as 'regional fanboys' (unmindful of the fact that post-Hkelkar2 fiasco and to a lesser extent even before that, it is largely due to WP:KAR that WP:INDIA even manages to keep its head above the water). If anything, Maximvs should be tried for blatant disruption. Sarvagnya 21:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Tch, tch. Perhaps User:Sarvagnya isn't aware of the fact that poking one's nose in a private conversation between two people isn't polite. Never mind, he will learn when he grows up. In the meanwhile, let's see why he's throwing a tantrum.
First of all, I'm not here to get a favourable judgement or to try and turn Nick's vote. So apart from the fact that this is a private conversation that he's butting into, Sarvagnya should look up words to see what they mean before he uses them.
Sarvagnya doesn't remember if anyone tried to move the page after the last discussion. Unfortunately, he seems to be suffering from a severe case of amnesia.
I'm sure our editors are educated enough to read and reason for themselves about what they want to vote for. If I was lying, there wouldn't be 13 support votes there right now. The fact is that there was never any consensus to move, and no comments were sought before this unilateral decision was taken. Even if for a moment we assume that the new name is officially being used, there is no policy or guideline on WP that says that the "official" name needs to be the article name. In fact, the guideline given above says something entirely different. Sarvagyna also exults about it not being a violation of WP:NAME but chooses to ignore the next best option - Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) and Wikipedia:Naming conflicts because in his book, guidelines are worth squat because they're not policies. But then again, anything that is against his PoV is trashed and labelled a "lie". *sigh*
He also complains about chameleons with jaundiced eyes or something like that but after running out of phoney arguments, namecalling seems to be his last resort. I'll just let that go.
To answer his last laughable accusation simply, no. I have nothing against Kannada users. I only dislike users who sneakily try to push their own agenda without trying to build consensus, in the same way that the renaming of the Bangalore article has been carried out. Looking at the way Sarvagnya has played filibuster on the talk page, I'm pretty sure that the poll is going to be closed as "no consensus", and I'm quite tired of arguing with people with such juvenile tendencies (I can almost picture Sarvagnya closing his eyes, putting his hands over his ears and screaming, "la la la la I'm not listening to you!"). It just ain't worth it. It's a lost cause to reason with these people.
Nick, I'm sorry to hog space on your talk page because of Sarvagnya's rude interruption. I will not continue my conversation with him over here. Meanwhile, I would like to know your thoughts on my original query. Thanks. - Max - You were saying? 19:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
  • (Nick, bear with me too for a minute a few minutes) Maximvs - you as the nommer said that the change wasnt official yet. You dishonestly linked your assertion to an article that was a year old. And you even got a few votes for that. It is obvious that those who voted that way were either taking your word for it or didnt bother to read the date on the article you'd linked to.
  • Even in the previous move discussion that is archived now, one of the 'clinching' arguments(I am not entirely sure who tossed that in first) was that it was a vio of WP:NAME. Nobody bothered to check it or verify it, but everybody who opposed "Bengaluru" repeated it faithfully. I must admit, I was fooled too. So much for assuming good faith and taking people's word for it! Then, yesterday I decided to actually click on WP:NAME and read it for myself. I was shocked that we'd been taken for a ride all year long! Now you try to weasel away with an esoteric and ambiguously worded guideline which clearly is being disregarded on several pages in wikipedia and the India wikiproject in particular. Some parts of it looks like its dealing specifically with historic places while other parts suggest otherwise. Also, you're claiming that both the guideline and the policy deal with the same things. If that is so, I'm surprised that we even have a guideline and a policy for the same thing! For example, WP:NPOV is a policy. Right? Now show me WP:NPOV, the guideline. Especially one which disagrees with the policy!!
  • Those technicalities apart, the fact of the matter is that every Indian city is at its official name. It is your POV that you're trying to present it as being nothing more than the 'most common name'. Deciding on what the 'most common name' is inherently problematic we dont need to punish ourselves with such exercises in futility. Also such an exercise is utterly pointless when pitted against the "official" name. If you want to change this, go to WP:INB and take part in the discussions about a MoS for India articles.
  • Also, your singular interest in Bengaluru and Bengaluru alone, strikes me as strange. It seems almost a personal crusade for you. I can only hazard a guess. Its almost like you're trying to get even(by other means) for the embarrassment that you had to suffer on Belgaum and other pages on account of the likes of Mahawiki, ARM, Sarvabhaum etc.,(who incidentally, whether you like it or not, happened to be on the same side of the divide as you). Also, your high pitched(and your comrade in arms, Mr. sikandarji(where's he these days? or did he suffer a concussion for crashing into 'brick walls' too often?) and others) arguments approximating to "this name change is the handiwork of fanatic 'regional fanboys'... govts., dont run encyclopedias... we should resist this by hook or crook and save humanity" etc., is clearly a testimony to the hypocrisy of people who oppose the Bengaluru name change. Its equally a testimony to the Kannadiga's gentility that we lend a ear to every bum that walks in. These debates never took place in the case of any other city (not just on wikipedia). These same people who protest Bengaluru's name change didnt bat an eyelid when scores of cities around the country were renamed(including in many cases their own cities). But in Bengaluru's case, perhaps also because these are times when TV channels and newspapers are dime a dozen and every ass and his mom in law has an opinion, a disgusting tamasha is being enacted in the name of criticising(to what avail, i dont know) the name change. The most asinine arguments like "let them re-lay the roads first, let them rename later", "it will hurt Bangalore 'brand' image", "it is a waste of money!!" are being bandied in the garb of op-eds. And you want to faithfully reproduce that nonsense on wikipedia with your endless wikilawyering. You can BS all you want that this is about your dislike for people who in your view circumvent consensus, but it is obvious that you're only trying to prove a point.

[edit] Drama

Hi. I notice that you deleted the redirect WP:DRAMA which had redirected to WP:AN/I. Were you aware that it had been nominated for deletion in February Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2007_February_19#WP:DRAMA_.E2.86.92_Wikipedia:Administrators.27_noticeboard and the concensus had been not only to keep, but to redirect it to WP:AN/I as opposed to WP:AN as it had previously done? I'm just wondering whether it should go up for review, given that the community had previously decided to keep it, to see what people think. Skittle 16:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not sure if you've seen this category. I've noticed quite a few open proxies putting themselves into it (which I've removed), and there's currently a few dynamic IPs left in it.

[edit] Speedy deletion

Nick - please quote where exactly on WP:SPEEDY it says G7 "does not apply to encyclopedic articles with extensive references." Bishonen is correct here. The page needs to be deleted. G7 is official policy and must be respected here. Even if G7 had that in the policy (it does not), WP:COMMON and courtesy to fellow editors is also important. But policy is clear. If I'm misreading the policy, please come on the article talk page or on ANI and quote exactly where it says that about "encyclopedic articles". --Aude (talk) 12:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia policies exist solely to aid the encyclopedia, not to be taken in a prescriptive manner. They are only descriptive. GFDL is an irrevocable form of copyright and articles are not to be deleted solely on the basis of an author's request. The only reason to delete was 'to be nice'. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 16:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Kuntan maybe possibly multi-lingual, but he cant exist in two places in same time. 59.91.253.161(Kuntan) is cochin, but user:Vinay412 belongs to Bangalore(checkuser), or ip which you were asked to unblock by user:Vinay412(in his first contributions) belongs to bangalore(no need of checkuser). How'bout this argument? Lara_bran 06:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Mmhmm, are you checkuser? — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 08:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
No, they are referring to the publically available results of a previous checkuser. Lara_bran (talk · contribs) has behaved enough like Vinay for me to be suspicious for months but not enough to be able to confirm it. I actually came to your page to request that you review the behaviour of Lara_bran in respect of the article shemale, including such things as rudeness in edit summaries (mostly accusing anyone who opposes their edits of vandalism) and refusing to discuss issues on the talk page, then coming out with these little gems: Adding references, 3 of 4 of which are duplicates of ones already on the page and claiming that removal of the duplication would be vandalism. I'm not really surprised to see that Lara_bran is speaking up in support of Vinay &/or Kuntan. The comment about existing in 2 places at once makes me wonder if they are bouncing through a remote proxy to create the impression of geographical separation. --AliceJMarkham 03:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

The English language skills of that IP address are far better than Lara and the other Vinay socks. Is the language inability just a foil, to intentionally complicate editors' efforts to resolve issues with him/her? -- User:RyanFreisling @ 11:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] While we're at it...

I also suspect that Ms Hooha (talk · contribs) and Prab gen (talk · contribs) may be a vinay/kuntan socks.

  1. Human body shape was deleted and changed to a redir following an AfD on 4th June.
  2. Ms Hooha account created 10th June,
  3. Ms Hooha attempted to paste a saved copy over the redir on 18th June but it was reverted.
  4. Prab gen account created a few hours later (18th June)
  5. 3 mins after Prab gen account was created, it started article Body shape with a slightly different copy of the deleted article.

Ms Hooha appears to have been abandoned and Prab gen is keeping a remarkably low profile but the sequence of events is remarkably suspicious... --AliceJMarkham 11:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why doesn't another sockpuppet account surprise me?

I suspect that This is all (talk · contribs) might be a use-once-and-discard AttackSock account. Created after Lara bran's 1st unblock request was denied and half an hour before the 2nd unblock request. What a surprise. Not. :(

By the way, is there somewhere else that I should be raising these issues, or is it okay to bring them here? --AliceJMarkham 14:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lara bran

Lara bran (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) has already edited my user page, removed the trollwarning from the 'Shemale' talk page and has been serially removing and altering sockpuppet notices since you unblocked this user (see contribs). You unblocked, so I'm hoping you'll keep an eye on this user's already-questionable conduct. I'm surprised at the degree of forgiveness afforded a user who is an admitted block-avoiding sockmaster, but I am not an admin and I'll roll with the punches. Some others may find it more disheartening [3]. Thanks in any case, Nick. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 12:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Trollwarning is not necessary in Talk:shemale, i did not disrupt that page, rather added article history(AfD and DRV(my nomination) links) and {{pornproject}} to that talk page. Also about sockpuppet user:kuntan is not related to me and i have given sufficient evidences, which can be easily understood by any indian user. I was new user to wikipedia since january end of 2007, and never been disruptive, but kuntan existed in sept 2006 itself. I can provide further evidences if somebody uses checkuser. Thanks. Lara_bran 15:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
That article has been heavily trolled. That's not in doubt. Your history on that article reveals a consistent tendency to edit war with unjustified edits, an unwillingness to discuss the issues on 'talk', uncivil behavior and shifting, tendentious arguments. And in any case, if you're truly coming back not to disrupt, why not focus on constructive edits rather than working so diligently renaming your sock accounts, editing my user page, and removing warnings from pages on which you have been disruptive and contentious? Such content doesn't reflect a desire to change your behavior, it's just more disruption. I'm looking for cooperative behavior from you and so far, you're off to a bad start with such behavior. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 15:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Please stop re-adding the troll-warning templates as they will only serve to escalate the situation rather than help resolve it. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 15:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Reverting harassment doesn't need an edit summary. What I should have used was rollback (or looked to use it, in which case I would have noticed the system had logged me out). Guettarda 14:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
It appears that our definitions of what constitutes "harassment" are contradictory. We must agree to disagree. Best wishes, — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 14:43, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Nominating someone's user page for deletion without bothering to talk to them, deleting their user page without bothering to talk to them, and, quite frankly, editing their user page without bothering to talk to them would all constitute harassment. DCV has been subject to racist harassment ever since she was on the project. I find it all quite disgusting...whether it's sticking pictures on lynchings on her user page, engaging in racist attacks, or simply editing her user page because someone allegedly found her link to Katrina Relief "offensive". Who would find a link to Katrina Relief offensive? That defies credibility. Guettarda 14:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Racism should not elicit racist comments either. There are well-known administrators like User:Journalist (who is black, by the way) and have been subjected to racist trolling on their user and talk pages. In case you didn't know, I have had my share of racist bullying as well. Feel free to check the history of my userpage. Would you expect me or Journalist to write a thousand word essay on why I feel all the white people of the world are racist on my userpage? That's plain soapboxing, and long-term and established users of the project should understand that. We are a project for collaboration. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 15:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Narendramodi.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Narendramodi.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you are unaware, when reverting without discussion and suggesting that I use the talk page, that I have left a list of questions on the talkpage that have gone unanswered? If you are so unaware, then I am sure you regret the implication that I would not use the talkpage, or that I wish to introduce contentious edits to the lead. -- Relata refero (talk) 18:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Please be patient, your queries would be responded to. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 18:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
I objected to the suggestion that I use the talkpage when I clearly had already done so and you had not. Patience does not come into it. Relata refero (talk) 10:27, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Nick, the old arbcom saga should be instructive on where "relata refero"'s editing framework spawns from. As for not using the talkpage, I was the first to use the talkpage while RR was on his Tehelka spree.
Nick has been transparent in his editing, and has provided for an atmosphere of neutral editing. Only a tendentious editor such as yourself would waste time libelling an Indian politician. Do check out the guidelines on WP:DE and WP:RS, they seem to be very instructive in the matter.Bakaman 01:44, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Please dont accuse me of libel. Also, please note that the veracity of the specific accusations repeated in myriad notable sources and thus deserving of inclusion in the article have nowhere been questioned.
I will tell you for the last time. Unless you cease this harrassment of associating me with another account with which you have no evidence to associate me - remember I've already indicated a piece of evidence you've missed that makes it very unlikely - I will have to take steps.
I notice that my questions stand unanswered on the talkpage. Relata refero (talk) 07:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
It is really not a legal threat to say you are slandering Modi. Noting the negative repercussions of you plastering your POV across pages cannot be equated with any violation of any policy. The demons don't exist.
Since I am not revealing any personal information about you (its not like I have any either), I am free to speculate about your previous accounts, especially considering the fact that there is uncanny parallelism exhibited by you and your previous avatar. People move, and that service provider has been linked even to a number of Indian admins, considering it serves vast swathes of India.
Your threats do not faze me. I will not take them lying down, yet I also will not cease adding to the body of knowledge that is Wikipedia.
There is no need to dignify statements negated ad nauseam.Bakaman 06:08, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Good Lord. Please note that I have indicated that any further speculation about my previous accounts be done off-wiki. This is now the fifth time I am asking you to cease this harassment. If you have reason to believe that I am an abusive sockpuppet, please inform the arbitration committee on their mailing list; that is the only reason for which this speculation is relevant. Also note that one man's "parallelism" is another man's "false positive"; I am not interested in whatever strained explanations you may derive for explaining the obvious inconsistencies in your pet theory (as evidenced by a moment's research on the user page linked above).
About your last statement, please believe that I am full of admiration for your bravery, which is diminished not one whit by the fact that I have not, in fact threatened you with anything so far. I will not do so this time either, but it is true that unless you do cease this continual harassment and go on with writing an encyclopaedia, which I assume you are moderately capable of, I will have to look around for some form of restriction.
Please keep the discussion on-topic: the veracity of the specific accusations repeated in myriad notable sources and thus deserving of inclusion in the article have nowhere been questioned. Unless you find several reliable sources doing so, you have no support for your attempts. Relata refero (talk) 14:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Please cease posting on my talk page, and continue your battles elsewhere. — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 17:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A point with AfD procedure

  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion shows section "Current discussions" with 6 pointers: one to the list of today's AfD's, then one to the list of yesterday's AfD's, and so back to 5 days ago's AfD's. After that, section "Old discussions" has 3 or more pointers to daily lists of earlier AfD's.
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Old seems to say that closing AfD's (except for speedy deletes and speedy keeps) should wait until they are listed in the "Old discussions". But a look in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2007 November 26 (which at the time of signing is the oldest day in the "current discussions" section) shows that many of its AfD's have been already closed. So, please when is the earliest that an AfD (except for speedies) can be closed? If an AfD was started (for example) at 14.37 on 1 December 2007, can it be closed at any time after 14.37 on 6 December 2007? Or what? Anthony Appleyard 10:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indian50

Hi. You wrote this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Hkelkar_2/Evidence#Block_of_Indian50):

Only recently, Rama's Arrow blocked Indian50 (talk · contribs) for an expiry time of 1 WEEK, for sockpuppetry. This user was NOT BLOCKED at the time he resorted to abusive sockpuppetry through an anon-IP address. Rama's Arrow blocked him for 1 week and later changed the duration to 2 weeks for harrassment. There is nothing, in the edits of the IP address or the user's edits that can be called harrassment. The user had introduced a {{fact}} template in the text, that's all. Ironically, Tuncrypt who violated 3RR on the article was not blocked – [325]. The anon was blocked before confirmation that it was indeed Indian50 socking – [326] – for vandalism on Gujarati grammar. There is no vandalism whatsoever in it's edits – [327].

Now I must dispute your final sentence. It is utter nonsense. Having edit-warred with me on Punjab (India), which ended up getting locked, user:Indian50 sought out Gujarati grammar, a page which I then and now solely edit, and exacted revenge edits, adding fact templates in a nonsensical way, and placing unreferenced and original research tags even though there were 20 direct references and a bibliography list.

And now, Indian50 says he back, to destroy me once and forever. Tuncrypt (talk) 16:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Absolutely negative

In absolutely no way. This user (Tuncrypt) has been shown to been highly uncivil and arrogant. Look at this:

On a final note, please don't ever use the words "fuck", "fucked up", "crap" and "idiocy" when you are debating with other editors. It only weakens your position and it is strictly against the rules on here. As to my own earlier comments, on reading them a second time, I feel that I may have been uncivil towards you by writing "In fact if you are ...". So you have my apologies on that. It does not however change my position that the file is perfectly valid for use on this article. By the way I do not hate you, I just find your reasoning to be illogical. Green Giant 23:11, 11 October 2007 (UTC) [5]

It's true, I swore in that exchange, which is bad, and I am apologetic. The only thing on Indian50's mind however is pwning me. Tuncrypt (talk) 17:00, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Look at this, further examples, of this user (Tuncrypt):

Wikipedia guidelines ask you to use the edit summary; the template that I used is a standard one, not created by me. The same applies to policies and guidelines such as WP:CITE and WP:CIVIL. Your behaviour here is poor, you response to advice and criticism particularly so. If you can't or won't understand what it is to edit here, with other people rather than pitted against them, you'll find it an unpleasant and frustrating experience. If you're prepared to learn, and to edit reasonably and responsibly, in line with our policies and guidelines, then you'll find it rewarding and enjoyable.

A user keeps deleting links with are from the bbc news website. The content of the links are about Malaysian indians but the user blames me for link spam and User:Rudget has threatened a block. Last time I checked, the bbc was a legitimate news site and content of those links dealt specifically with malaysian indians. How do I go about this situation?--D-Boy (talk) 18:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
