If you leave me a message on this page, I will reply on this page; if I have left you a message on your talk page please reply there, I will be watching it. There's no need to leave one of those ugly {{talkback}} messages. You can email me if you wish, however I prefer most wp communications to remain on-wiki and also only access this address between about 20:00 and 23:59 Zulu on (most) weekdays; response may be slooooooooow.

Regarding G. Shanmugam

A Good Morning to you (at least it's morning here). To deny a speedy deletion it is sufficient if there are alegations of notability (which in this case were there: "...eminent.." and "...leading the institute to become one of the best self financed...". I agree that the article would probably be deleted via an AfD, but speedy is out of the question. Cheeers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 06:55, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

A page in your userspace

Please advise if you would have any objection to my deleting this page at this time. While I might understand the reason it was originally created, its contents are not really a proper use of userspace, and some of the "see also" links that have been added are really inappropriate for a humor page. Thank you, Newyorkbrad (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

If you think that is for the best, go ahead, (just not as a G10!). I don't think it's likely to attract a {{rescue}} tag.

Note that this page was created before the arbitration case, and I would have requested deletion myself by now had it not been referred to and linked several times (not by me) in the same case. pablo_hablo. 16:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Naming of articles

Hello Pablo, you raised several interesting points in your email to me about naming, but I think it is best to do it in a forum where others can participate in a discussion. Perhaps WT:Naming conventions is the palce. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC

Thanks for pointing me to this - I thought there would be an appropriate forum for it somewhere. Now I just have to trawl the archive to see if I would be resurrecting a dead horse! If not I will probably raise it over the weekend. pablo_hablo. 09:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Na fir bolg

Nice tidy-up; thanks. For the avoidance of doubt; I had tagged it for speedy deletion because my initial edit to remove the most blatant of spam was reverted and the purpose of the article seemed clear. Your edits are more thorough and will hopefully prevent a recurrance of the spam, but I will keep in on my watchlist. I42 (talk) 20:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh it was a blatant advert alright, and I completely understand your tagging it as such. I'm still not 100% convinced about its notability, but I think it's a fairly respectable stub now. I'll be watching too.  pablo_hablo. 20:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Legend of gatorface

I expanded, sourced, and added reviews. I think between the 2 of us, we have saved the article. I asked the nom to consider a withdrawal of the AfD. A rename to The Legend of Gator Face can follow a "keep". Schmidt, 21:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow! I go out for an evening of jazz and food, and that's what happens! Perhaps I should go out more often. I'm thinking of buying this film for my next horror movie spectacular evening, see how it stacks up with with Night of the Lepus, Troll 2 and Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. Great job with the structure and the sources, the "plot" needs attention, but I haven't yet seen the film so someone else can sort that out.  pablo_hablo. 22:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep in mind that it IS a children's film intended to teach tolerance.... so I doubt if it will send any chills up your spine. Think its now worth keeping? Schmidt, 22:52, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I didn't think I would find it particularly scary. I'm always ready to watch a great film, but I have a special affection for films which, despite trying hard, are not that good, and this sounds like one. Apologies to all the cast and crew if I'm wrong, and I will kiss their collective bum when I've seen the film if so.

Do I think it's worth keeping? Personally, yes. As far as Misplaced Pages's guidelines go, maybe/probably.  pablo_hablo. 23:13, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Well... it enjoy the film. And hey... that will allow a better plot section! Schmidt, 00:25, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Manjula (actress)

I've added a couple of refs, everything else that I've found so far just describe her as "yesteryear heroine", still trying though. If you can find a credible reference for the three movies I've posted on the talk page and Rickshawkaran 1971 (movie was on at theatres for 163 consecutive days), that might give some details. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 06:29, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I noticed - I will try later, am going to the library which may yield something. It is annoying when you know that there are print references but nobody's got round to putting them on the Internet yet!  pablo_hablo. 06:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

FIITJEE

Can you take a look at the page? Do you think it might be a good candidate for ARS? Since I normally don't add rescue tags, I don't know. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 19:10, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I never add rescue tags! But go ahead, there are a few fine source-miners amongst the people who monitor {{rescue}}-tagged items. On a quick look, I think that this article will probably survive its AfD. I'll look in more detail later, or maybe tomorrow.  pablo_hablo. 19:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you help?

Indian movies lacking sources, as usual. Arappatta Kettiya Gramathil should pass WP:NF, but seriously lacking in sources and I haven't been able to find much other than casual mentions, but it has a very very notable Director, and a very, very, notable actor in the lead role. Ee Parakkum Thalika not much info other than it was a hit and remade in other languages. Can you help with sourcing, like you did on Manjula? Thx. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 18:58, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find much either, will look again tomorrow.  pablo_hablo. 22:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Do you know if these two sources would qualify as RS? - One India, Nation Master. These are the only two non-blogs I've been able to find, and both help the case of the first movie, actually a pathbreaking one. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 23:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

The Full Monty (phrase)

Hello there, I'm wondering why you reverted the information I provided back to it's original, and I must say, incorrect state?

Your ""addition of bollocks"" comment isn't helpfull either.

The information I've provided is in fact the origin to the phase, and therefore, I've reverted it back. The original article (yours?) states the phrase is of "uncertain origin". It isn't uncertain at all, it's well known to all living in the Preston area.

IF you want to live in ignorance and prove you're just being a cock, please change it back to it's orignal, false state. MrTiffUK (talk · contribs), via e-mail

1. Because it was untrue. The phrase was in use before 1988.
2. Agreed it may have not been helpful. Your addition was, however bollocks.
3. No it isn't— see (1). Note that the article is not "mine".
4. Your face.

Request for comment regarding conduct of User:Frei Hans

I have requested comment on the conduct of User:Frei Hans. As you have been involved in this dispute to some extent, I would appreciate it if you could comment. Papa November (talk) 14:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Reading the instructions now.  pablo_hablo. 15:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry accusation

You have been accused of sockpuppetry at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Papa November. Scared? Papa November (talk) 18:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

OMG! They have found me out!!! I will have a look when I have eaten. pablo_hablo. 20:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

What interesting company I keep in the old sock drawer! It seems it was all over before I got the chance not to bother commenting on this ridiculous allegation.  pablo_hablo. 22:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Request for comment regarding conduct of User:Frei Hans

Thanks for the note. I'm not going to comment on it (though I've tweaked a couple of technicalities), since at this stage I'm not convinced it's going to be productive. Someone apparently convinced of a broad consipiracy to delete their efforts, is likely to just see it as an extension of that conspiracy. I can never see the best way to deal with these situations, a brief look doesn't suggests they've formed any real links with other editors who they may respect enough to guide them, and it'd be difficult for anyone else to step in and help them move forward. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 20:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

I understand, I'm not too sure how useful this will be either. pablo_hablo. 20:31, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Were these edits made by you? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes - I had inadvertently logged myself out it seems.  pablo_hablo. 21:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to be sure somebody wasn't changing your comments.  :) Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 21:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Nothing so sinister - plain old incompetence!  pablo_hablo. 21:32, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk page improvements

→ Actually, it's kind of coincidental, but I happen to be writing a brand new article on a new iPhone game as we speak. Thought I'd let you know :) Thanks for the added cross-browser capabilities, MuZemike 22:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

No probs - a drive-by css/html gnome did the same to my page so I thought I'd pass it on!  pablo_hablo. 23:27, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

FYI, here's that new article I was talking about: Rolando 2: Quest for the Golden Orchid‎. MuZemike 00:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
