Just a note about the Reference Desks here. They are not message boards or discussion forums. As such, it is never acceptable to add or remove words to another person's entry. Each person signs his or her entry with a username and timestamp. When you add/remove from an entry, you are giving a false impression about what the person wrote. Even though you only added the word "QUERY:" to my entry, it was an addition to a signed comment and it implied that I am the one who wrote "QUERY:". In the future, please to not alter the entries written by other users. -- kainaw™ 17:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

June 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Bilbo Baggins has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. SJP (talk) 10:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

While your plot-wise anti-cruft edits/convictions are generally appreciated, some of what was removed may deserve inclusion. That needs to be worked out. At least, please don't remove the infoboxes. Also, why don't you sign up? Uthanc (talk) 11:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Dol Guldur

Your recent edit to Dol Guldur has been identified as vandalism. Everything that was included in that article was relevant and went by the rules/guidelines. Do not make disruptive edits like this again. They now have been reverted. If you want to make massive changes discuss it on the talk page first. Dol Guldur is a Good Article nominee, do not make further massive edits, and I do see that you have been warned before. Also try signing up, make an account.

I have responded to this on the wikiproject middle earth talk page.87.102.86.73 (talk) 14:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with much of User:LOTRrules's assessment, but he's right that you should create an account. It gives you a lot more street cred among the editors. Cheers, Elphion (talk) 19:55, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thought that someone should welcome you!

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (87.102.86.73) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! the_ed17 14:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Having a username helps a lot when editing--when I see that an IP has edited one of the articles I like, I become suspicious, as it is vandalism most of the time! When I see a user name, I think that it's probably alright (though i check it anyway =]). Sorta what was said above; you'll get "street credibility" with a username--but you can edit under your IP all you want as well. Your choice! Hope you have fun...Cheers! the_ed17 20:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Not cool

Why would you do this? It's very likely to offend people and you know this. Please consider removing it. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 19:30, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Moved from User talk:Zain Ebrahim111.

Got your message. It was a joke, in response to what I thought was a jokey comment from Jackof Oz.. Of course I will remove it, since you brought it up. Doing that now...87.102.86.73 (talk) 20:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Jack's comment wasn't offensive and he answered the question. Even the most reasonable christian could be expected to get a little annoyed at your comment. Do we really want to piss people off for no reason? Zain Ebrahim (talk) 21:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I've removed the comment; which I added with no intention of causing offence, and at the time had no idea that it would cause offense. What else do you want me to do?87.102.86.73 (talk) 21:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Whoa . . . Didn't mean to include any hostility in my previous post - sorry if I did. I was just giving a further explanation. And thanks for removing it (probably should have said this in the earlier post :) ). Zain Ebrahim (talk) 21:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I shouldn't get in to the habit of joking on the ref. desks. anyway - as it that behaviour can easily degenerate into a situation that is unhelpful for others, consider this a 'promise not to do it again' type of apology, with the understanding that I should have thought a little more before pressing "save page".87.102.86.73 (talk) 21:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

(I have a small screen)Actually, I appreciate a little humour now and then. Things get pretty dull after a while otherwise. Just look out for Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM's posts - he seriously leaves me laughing out loud. Cheers, Zain Ebrahim (talk) 21:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

new section - relating to diablo 3

Well, it seems you have a healthy brain for debate; although do you have msn so you can actually discuss it in full? although i lean slightly towards the 'make it darker' side, i do appreciate that its a new game and changes will be made. as it stands the game looks fricken fantastic, and i'll buy it regardless. So, in the end, i suppose i am being a purist, although you have to admit... you wouldn't want another bright and colourful WoW... then it might just be a few skills changes away from a perfect replica!

There have been quite a few forums talking about the departure of a few key Blizzard North staff from the team after relocation of their office, although i can't quote that, and no news or gaming site is that suicidal to mention that that might be the reason behind many of the WoW team now filling in the holes that the top blizzard north guys left behind. I'm not sure if this should be mentioned, as it would possibly be classed as 'speculation' even tho it's fact that WoW staff ARE working on Diablo, and the top members of Blizzard north Have left. It seems to go one step further and join the two is going one step too far... but oh well.

The fact still stands, that i got my direct quote from a Game Review removed, while your quote from the director remained. Ergo; i have an inferiority complex? Although it seems more likely that i just fear that Wikipedia is becoming more and more bound by 'official' websites, and therefore is dictated as to what it can show, rather than being more of an informative website. -- Tyraz —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tyraz (talk • contribs) 15:21, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I've left a brief message on your talk page, and more on the diablo3 talk page, specifically about the link you had removed.

Your recent edits

Hi there.

Thanks for the note to my talk. Algebraist 16:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

for removing that thread. Didn't want to do it myself after it got so many replies. And sorry about the semiprotection, the avril troll was vandalising my talk page about a week ago and an admin semiprotected it (there's actually some remnants of the vandalism on my talk page's history). I'd forgotten to request the semiprotection removed. I've done it now. Cheers, Zain Ebrahim (talk) 17:07, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Images on inscribed angle

(too OT for the refdesk, I think)

Inscribed angle has three diagrams: Image:InscribedAngle 1ChordDiam.svg, Image:InscribedAngle CenterCircle.svg and Image:InscribedAngle CenterCircleExt.svg. Can you not view these images? Algebraist 22:04, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

refactoring

Do you mind if I refactor your comment on Wikipedia:Reference desk/Mathematics#Cylinders and Spheres to put the equation you gave into TeX mode so that it displays prettily? I think it's correct, by the way. :-) --_{tiny plastic} Grey Knight ⊖ 14:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I edited it in in-place so that you can take the credit. :-) --_{tiny plastic} Grey Knight ⊖ 14:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Personal Interest?

Friend User-87.102.86.73, after being helped by you yesterday (related to my question regarding catalyst) ,I'll be glad to get myself aquainted with you. I think I need to learn a lot from advanced people like you. Can please answer my questions:- 1.Which country do you leave in? 2.What is your subject of specialisation? 3.Hold old are you? I want to make it known to you that I am myself class X student of India.I am interested in nearly all branches of science,history and maths.117.201.96.242 (talk) 19:59, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm in the UK, and have a degree in chemistry as well as having other interests.87.102.86.73 (talk) 20:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I am truely lucky to talk to you. Do you feel irritated for I asked such questions?117.201.96.242 (talk) 20:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

It's a little disconcerting - there are many other skilled people here, I'm suprised you have formed such a high opinion of me after such a short time.87.102.86.73 (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

You are indeed a genius and in India, we are taught to respect such gifted people like you.I have grown a high opinion of you since you are the one who answers my questions most frequently.And I've found out that your language of explanation is obviously great, which 99% of the modern persons does not possess. I myself think that UK has done us a great favour by civilizing us and teaching us the Wonderful English language. I truely have an immense respect for your glorious country.And if you don't mind, is India among your favourite countries? 117.201.96.242 (talk) 20:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

That's a difficult question to answer, my favorite country is probably France, though I do like to read about the history and culture of countries with a long history of civilisation, and that includes India.87.102.86.73 (talk) 20:45, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Actually, I'm a bit interested in you because you were the first to answer my first question. Please do not take offence.(I have no grave intentions, I only want to know about you.My interest in you also grew because you are a resident of the nation, in which numerous great people such as Sir Issac Newton, Charles Babbage,Robin Hood and King Richard the Lionhearted. If you need any sort of information regarding the history of Indian Civilization (since I have realized that you know far more than me in other fields such as Maths and Science, So I do not hope to be able to answer your questions regarding them), you are always welcome to leave the question on my talk page, which I will try my level best to answer. Lastly,will you permit me to talk to you through your talk page sometimes?
