[edit] Reliance Fresh

Hi Utkarsh, A Podcast link that is a report on the Reliance Fresh controversy added by me is being repeatedly removed by the user "Ril_editor". Could you please intervene and decide whether the link I added is inappropriate? Thanks. --Debashishc (talk) 05:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indefinite block request

Can you please block this user indefinitely? They have been vandalizing Wikipedia consistently for months. Thanks. Matt Gerber (talk) 17:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Seems to be a shared IP. Just one edit yesterday. If there is further vandalism from this IP, report it to WP:AIV -- it'll be blocked. utcursch | talk 03:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sir is a title

Hello,

Looking at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) it seems to me that titles shouldn't be in the name. I removed the title from the article on Sir James Outram, 1st Baronet for this reason. But this has now been moved back, I think that it should be removed - I wasn't sure if I should move it back.

Having just checked the articles move log it seems that you had also moved this too before it was reverted. What do you think? Pahari Sahib 20:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

It seems that the British peers are an exception to the conventions per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) -- somebody pointed that out to me, when I moved another such article. Since James Outram is a disambiguation page, the article should be located at Sir James Outram, 1st Baronet according to these conventions. Seems weird to me (I'd go with something like James Outram (British General)), but the British have their own conventions. utcursch | talk 04:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Ah well, conventions are conventions I supposed, thanks for pointing that out. Regards Pahari Sahib 20:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jatni

Thanks so much for combining the articles - it did seem quite unnecessary. It is good to know you are on the job - I really appreciate your speedy assistance. Best wishes, John Hill (talk) 00:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How do you block?

I want to be an Admin but I need to know some key tips like blocking and creating pic boxes. THX.--Nightingale12 (talk) 10:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


THX I will do well to keep Wikipedia in prime condition. Yes I meant userboxes THX on the info on that.--Nightingale12 (talk) 11:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mass scale vandalism by user Mightyunit

Respected Sir, since you are an administrator, hence I would like to bring to your kind notice that user Mightyunit is doing mass scale vandalism in Kanwar Pal Singh Gill and Navneet Singh Khadian articles.

He has edited [[Kanwar Pal Singh Gill article four times during last few hours already. He has deleted several NPOV references and information so far. Please see 1, 2, 3 and he has deleted information and references from 4 - Amnesty International and HRW as well. His vandalism on this article is going on from last days[1][2]

Regarding Navneet Singh Khadian, he has deleted NPOV references and information several times and I am struggling hard to save this article from his vandalism. Please see 1, 2 and 3. I strongly beleive that he is deleting information to influence wikipedia members views onAfD.

On top of it, user Mightyunit has also deleted vandalism warnings from his own talk page today. This is gross violation of his editing rights.

Kindly Help.Singh6 (talk) 05:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

User Mightyunit has just created his account on May 1st 2008 at 6:53 when I am involved in tense discussion on IHRO with 202.54.176.51 and he has started doing mass changes into human rights related sentences in those articles which became the reason of [IHRO's tense discussion]. This discussion is still in progress. Would you be able to check if these mass changes have suddenly started happening from the same IP address, i.e. 202.54.176.51 . Singh6 (talk) 06:23, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't have access to checkuser tool. utcursch | talk 06:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Sir, it appears that User talk:Mightyunit is fradulently trying to influence Wikipedia user views on related AfD by continuously deleting information and references from article Navneet Singh Khadian. He doesnt listen, he doesnt talk, he doesnt argue. Would you let respected Wikipedia community becomming fool on related AfD because User talk:Mightyunit is not letting them read the complete article during the AfD process? ... with hope ...Singh6 (talk) 06:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Like I said earlier, this is a content dispute. Please see Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. utcursch | talk 10:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 07:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guru Gobind singh

Hi, we need an original photo if we want it to be displayed alngside original facts. As there is none we cannot put an imaginary photo for the sake of it. there are thousands of such imaginary photos, it is misleading as the reader thinks he looked like that which he did not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Turniplp (talkcontribs) 05:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My mind went for a walk

Sorry about this [1], that was a pretty stupid question. Your block worked fine, the guy was only vandalizing his Talk page.  Channel ®    10:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nonsense article

Hi, you blocked WetSexyLlama, but can you delete Broiled Kittens as well? Thanks. Ashton1983 (talk) 10:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for reverting the edits made by 163.153.22.20 The district is in the midst of checking logs to find the individuals involved. They also wanted to let you know that "We have no tolerance for this type of behavior". --NERIC-Security (talk) 17:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Better late, sometimes very late, and other times, EXTREMELY LATE........than never!

:) Thanks for welcoming me to Wikipedia on Feb 9th, 2005! Yes, that was SOME time ago. I was just going through my talk archives and was wondering if I have replied at all to your welcome message. I do see that I have subsequently taken some help from you but, never responded to this message at all! (Checked your Archive no. 1). So, here goes. :) I have continued to be an editor here, although I took an year's break in between. Thanks again for that welcome, and cheers! Prashanthns (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Katrina Kaif Article

Katrina Kaif is getting tons of vandalism, and it appears to be originating from the same sources. Could we PLEASE semi-protect thet article for a few weeks? Achitnis (talk) 15:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a look at it. You can always request protection at WP:RfPP -- the action will be faster, since many admins keep a watch on that page. utcursch | talk 15:52, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Been there, done that in the past. No joy - looks like it wasn't taken seriously enough to warrant action. But maintaining that article is becoming a pain, and many editors have just given up, hence the direct request. Thanks for protecting the article for now, lets hope that the hormone charged anons give it a rest for now. Achitnis (talk) 08:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
