Seperatist user posting inflammatory messages

On Talk:Sino-Indian War, an IP user (check the history) has been going on about India's Rape of Goa and keeps posting links to Goan seperatist websites. He also goes on about Indian bullying of Sikkim and Bhutan and his words, despite being irrelevant, remain on the talk page, sending viewers of the talk page to Free Goa websites. How does one deal with this? Traing 02:28, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice Work!

Hi, I always see and silently admire your nice little and important copyedits on Language Movement. Thanks for your help and support and I hope you would carry on. It seems forever until we finally get this article into an FA. But I think it is coming closer and closer with all of your great works. Thanks again and Cheers (I know I am not so good at english, so sorry for not so brilliant prose in this message :( ) --Tarif from Bangladesh 17:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Waverley College

Hi. On this page there is some old but pretty substantial vandalism by User:Iwenttoscots. Could you maybe roll back his edits? Thanks.

Don't worry, I managed to sort it out. :) Recurring dreams 03:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're spot on

I was also thinking about dedicating this to him. He is not only a great Wikipedian but also a wonderful human being. So let's do it! Regrads --Tarif from Bangladesh 12:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flags on userpage

Is there any particular reason you added them? Is there any particular reason you chose those countries? Just curious. Your userpage is always interesting :) Gizza^Discuss ^© 04:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The flags are supposed to be the successor to my interfaith theme of my userpage. The flags are largely arbitrary, although the flags of Israel and Egypt are intentional. -- tariqabjotu 04:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A notorious "Editor gang" at work. Plz. see Telugu script

Hi there! I thought it wise, to inform you about some unfortunate developments at Telugu script over the past few days. It all started when I requested User:Winhunter for unprotection of the article Telugu script so as to remove parts, objectionable to either sides of the "Edit War."

In the light of all this several disturbing incidents, some of whose links I'm presenting for convenience sake, also took place.

The links are:

1) The page for reports, for checking User:Sarvagnya

2) Possible Sock puppetry incident as reported by me

3) 3RR violation report against me.

Incidentally, several hours before this 3RR report against me, I had requested at least 2 admins, including User:Winhunter to fully protect Telugu script, from any further unfortunate developments. Plz. see my request for full protection. Telugu script is now fully protected thanks to the efforts of User:Evilclown93.

Important Plz. read At this juncture, I'd like to bring to your notice a notorious "Editor gang" which has been plaguing painstakingly-done projects on Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and many other related articles. I request those at the helm of affairs including sys-ops/bureaucrats to fully investigate, and take necessary action against this gang's members. The names could be provided by me upon request, for obvious reasons. Thanking You, Altruism^{To talk} 05:00, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fiji Indian Australian

Yes, I am a Fiji Indian Australian. My main interest is Fiji Indian history, but once you catch the Wiki bug, I find that I spend a lot of time editing articles from a number of diverse topics. I have also had a go at Hindi Wikipedia but find that it takes a lot of time due to me limited knowledge of Hindi. Are you an administrator? I have done over 3000 edits and have been considering whether I should go for administratorship. Girmitya 11:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreasonable

I noticed your caution to User:Gnanapiti on Brahmic family talk page. He has been reverting my editis unreasonably. Although I retain the original version of the article while adding new input with six most authentic references, he reverted my edits. How to prevent this kind of Vandalism?

Featured article review for Rail transport in India

The article Rail transport in India has been in Featured article review for some time now. Main issues have been addressed. Please see the article's entry. Now the article needs a review for the langusge issue. Can you please go through the article for improving the language? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:13, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DaGizza. I noticed your deletion of the article "Cartomedia". I'd be interested in figuring out how to make such articles conform with regard to style/content/ etc. There are hosts of similar articles describing small companies in my field of work. Best regards. Matt

Thanks for the quick explanation. I'll look closely at the article you cited and figure out whether there is anything substantive I can contribute that does not come across as advertising. After looking at the history of a similar pages (small cartography company pages) it appears that some of the pages have been rewritten to conform better to policies. I'll look at some of these pages as a guide and try and do something similar within the appropriate guidelines. Thanks again. - Matt

Why the black colour?

Gizza^Discuss ^© 02:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Black is believed to be a color of silence and concealing. Yet, the color sometimes "talks" even more eloquently than any other tone. We obtain black color when we mix various colors. Similarly, when our mind has various, complex feelings, perhaps our mind becomes like a melting pot, mixing diverse items, and then our feelings become darker and darker until they all become pure black color."[1]

Deity Box

Hi there DaGizza, I was wondering if there was a way to edit the [Hdeity infobox] template? I can't find the original page with the template on, and think it would look better with the Indic text box underneath somehow, rather than how it is at the moment. Can you help me out? Cheers, Gouranga(UK) 15:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link - I see what you mean about making changes. Gouranga(UK) 08:18, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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 15:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Omniglot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Omniglot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:58, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking opinion from regular editors on reference pattern

References: Notes and citations section; change in reference and notes temporarily ceased; WP:FOOT says I am not doing wrong; Separate Notes and Citation sections

Opinion is sought from regular editors of the article Hinduism regarding the splitting of Notes and references section. This is a short gist of the discussions going on in the above mentioned talk links: Having a separate "Notes" (for explanatory remarks) and "Citations" (for direct citations), although permitted, is relatively rare in Wikipedia, and also in academic journals. The main rationale behind doing this is to distinguish a series of explanatory remarks from the series of citations (please see Rabindranath Tagore, Demosthenes for examples).

This sandbox gives a glimpse of how the article would look if we split the sections (the sandbox is under work, so may not be perfect). This link shows how the article looks with combined section. This may give an idea how it looked when I started working on references. I converted many references to Harvard format, apart from splitting the sections.

Opinion for regular editors are sought regarding the application of splitting of two section for this article. Please do so in Talk:Hinduism in the section Talk:Hinduism#Seeking_opinion_from_regular_editors_on_reference_pattern. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:55, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Makeover on Svadhyaya

I have done a makeover on Svadhyay (which I think should be named Svadhyaya) and noticed that you have had some edits on Swadhyay Parivar. Could you please take a look at the current version of Svadhyay and add it to your watchlist, as it is possible that it may be the target of vandalism? Buddhipriya 06:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
