Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:23, 31 October 2007

ReluctantPhilosopher is currently wikibonked and is operating at a lower edit level than usual. Hitting the wall is a temporary condition, and the user should return to normal edit levels in time.

Ummm ...

Uh, I sort of thought someone would kinda "welcome" me to the community. But, what the heck.

Welcome!!!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages!

Never mind about people not welcoming you yet. It took 6 months before someone noticed that I hadn't been 'welcomed' (see User_talk:DonkeyKong64).

I'm not a very prolific contributer to Misplaced Pages - in fact, almost all my contributions are either minor edits (formatting, spelling, grammar edits), or suggestions/comments on talk pages.

I am also interested in philosophy, as well as being scientifically minded (I am a mathematics student). Also, I love talking to thoughtful people who have perspectives that are different from my own. As an agnostic/atheist from a generally left-wing background, I would love to learn about Hinduism and right-wing philosophies.

Well, I guess that's all I've got to say for now. If you want to reply to me, leave a message on my talk page. And have fun editing wikipedia! DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 07:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure how one is supposed to handle discussions like this. I guess i'll continue the discussion on my talk page, and post a message here every time I reply on there. Otherwise we will get hopelessly confused. That is assuming the discussion keeps going, which it may not, but anyway...

I am now going to my talk page to reply to your post. DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 23:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't end up replying like I said I would. I've been busy recently... I intend to reply at some point when I get around to it. :P DonkeyKong64 (Mathematician in training) 17:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

हिन्दी / िहन्दी ???

i would like to point out here that the correct spelling of HINDI in devanagri script would be िहन्दी and not हिन्दी (with choti-ee-ki-matra (ि) on ह and not on न). ANANT SINGH अनंत िसंह 08:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

other templates for hindi

thanks for replying. kindly refer to the other templates for hindi (hi-1 to hi-4). hindi is spelt as हिन्दी. is it the correct spelling in devanagri script? i don't think so.

my userboxes are fine. i don see any dotted circle below the ee ki matra...i'm using firefox only. i dunno what the prob is. the way hindi is spelt in hi-1 to hi-4 is appearing to me as HANIDI! i guess the hindi fonts are screwed up over the net.

i've spelt it the right way man. it appears correct to me (i mean, i wont spell my own surname wrong)...i suppose the indic languages are not installed on my comp. i'll check those and see. ok...have done that. will see what the prob is in my computer. regards.

Hi! Thanks for the message. To answer your questions: I am an American, living in California. I am married and have 2 college age children. I am a member of the Unification Church. I lot of what I do on Misplaced Pages is to explain and/or defend my faith. Other than that I try to have fun without hurting anyone. Wishing you the best. Steve Dufour 03:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

A big thanks!

Thank you so very much for the barnstar for my work on the Jat people page. I have been thrilled to find that there are a number of people out there appreciating what I have been trying to do to - it has been lonely and disheartening at times wrangling with the fanatics. Hopefully now, with the help of the Administrators and some level-headed contributors the page will become an interesting, useful, and factual account of Jats and their history, something all Jats can be proud of. You have made my day - thanks again. Sincerely, John Hill 22:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Amit

Sorry - I've been away (then embroiled in all sorts of controversy). I'll take a look in tomorrow and write up some stuff for you. Midnight here now :) I've not forgotten! - Alison ☺ 07:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

"Vandal Whacking Stick"

Dear Amit: Thanks for your notes. No, I haven't noticed the "vandal whacking stick". Please let me know where I can find it - it might come in handy at times!!! :^) Cheers, John Hill 21:44, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks!

That looks very handy indeed, Amit! Thanks ever so much - it's just what I need! What a hoot! Cheers and all best wishes, John Hill 06:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the smiley. No I wasn't upset. It was just a bad edit summary. Gnanapiti 17:31, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Blocked

This account has now been blocked from editing per this editor's own request. This block is not to be construed as having any reflection upon this editors behaviour nor standing in the community; it's just a bad case of Wikiholism. I don't normally do this as it's somewhat against policy.

Amit - take it easy on your wikibreak! - Alison ☺ 18:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

hello

hey please dont show your smartness by editing the articale on sangrur.i dont think u know much about the place .. so please dont interfer in the additions made by others and please stay away. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anuraj26 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Help with Wikisource

Dear ReluctantPhilosopher! Can you help me with transliteration of Devanagari (to UTF-8) on German Wikisource-Page s:de:Seite:Nanak der Stifter der Sikh-Religion.djvu/13? If you need the context, I can translate the German in English. --Balû 07:44, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

(Copy of Message on Balu's talk-page) Yeah sure, but you'll have to do the translation into English first... Amit@Talk 08:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

The sentence with the first Devanagri reads: "This motivates Rae Bular to impress Kalu, father of Nanak, who disrespects his son because of his moony nature, that his son is a great man and that he gots exalted through him (here is the Devanagari) which make no sense to Kalu, who halfheartedly answers, that only god knows gods matter.

The second sentence: The family regards him as mad and starts to lament about this bad luck (Devanagari, says the original text).

Can you now transliterate the Devanagari? --Balû 17:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

It reads "Ehu mahapurukh hai kalu tu bhi nihal hoa". Is that what you wanted me to do? Amit@Talk 03:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The second sentence reads: "Tab sara parvar sabh kutumb vediyaan ka laga jhuran aakhan lage jo vadaa haif hua jo kalu da putra diwana hoa". I'm less certain about this second sentence as it's a very old dialect of Punjabi; I transliterated as it appeared to sound to me. Amit@Talk 03:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

no, that's not what I wanted. In Wikisource we write the original text from scanned pages in wikitext, so I need the Devanagari-text here in the wiki, sth. like this: उपयोजक. Do you understand me? --Balû 05:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. You made my day. Take care, buddy! Josh 05:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk Page Header

No you may not! Haha, of course it's okay! I assume you mean Mailer diablo's picture, which I saw up at the top there. As long as you give him credit, it should be okay for you to use it. You might also want to put the {{talkheader}} template up at the top too. Happy editing! GlassCobra 16:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Muahaha...that's actually mine! Well, I stole it off Mailor Diablo, but then GlassCobra stole it off me! :)  — Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 09:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for updating the page, but since it is a current event it is necessary to keep the update tag. I restored the update tag,

Thaks for your smile but isn't it a kind of spamming.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 17:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it was inappropriate but ask an admin about it.--Sa.vakilian(t-c) 16:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Namaste

Thanks for the smile:) I see that you are a Hindu, cool. I am a Progressive Christian and am considering becoming an initiate into Universal Sufism. I love hinduism. I love all other faiths:) The fundamentals of all of our faiths are the same. I pray people will start to see that. Love and light.--SJP 17:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I love Sufism, especially Universal Sufism. I am praying about wether I should become an initiate. I am probably going to become one. Hazrat Inayat Khan, a indian sufi master, has influenced me a lot lately. I love him! I am as well a "product" of many faiths, though my faith is still Christianity. Shalom:)--SJP 13:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I must say you are a true Sonia Gandhi fan. Keep it up and surely you will get Congress ticket one day (if not alreay) Nkulkarn 18:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
