== Can you please help ?==
Hi Faaraz! I found you through ].
I was wondering if you'd mind lending me a helping hand with ] article . On August 10 an unknown person (no signature) marked it for deletion. Then ] conducted a good faith google search for “international institute of management” and it did not return a top result. – Which led him to support the deletion marking. Two other users followed saying that the website was not notable and the institute claims non-verifiable international connections. However, I have conducted a detailed research on IIM website, including IIM research section, press-releases, events and photos, as well as other independent websites and provided evidence of notability and verifiable references. However, my concern is that I’m only one vote against 4 vote and I do not know if any of them will change their mind (human nature!). Therefore, I kindly ask you to verify the links provided in the http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/International_Institute_of_Management and help verify the notability. I’m not asking for anything less than an ethical vote. I’m willing to return the favor and review a similar article.]

== Indefinite block of Bar-Ilan ==
Thanks for contacting me. As you've noted, this form of severe vandalism and reverse denial of service has gone on long enough, and it is high time we escalate this to the IT department at Bar-Ilan. Unfortunately, the only hope of shutting this vandal down is by escalating the problem so that it gets noticed by a faculty member or good faith contributor. They wanted attention, and now they've got it. If you have any further questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page or via email. Best regards, ] 17:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Frazzydee. I wanted to inform you that we have created a new policy at en.wikibooks that asks all admins who have been inactive for a year or more to give up their admin privledges. This is not a punishment of any sort, so I hope you don't take offense to this. The idea behind this policy is that people who are not using the tools could kindly return them.

==Hey, regarding Template:Uncyclopedia==
I'm here to ask if you were behind ], and if so, why? I am the original creator of the template, and no one complained at the time when I asked if I could create it. I think it brings "interwikiness" among articles, as well as showing the fun side of things, after all Wp is considered by many to be too "dry", and a link at the bottom of articles showing alternative versions for parody reasons would in my opinion improve the Misplaced Pages experience, as well as prevent some vandalism by "smart-asses".

I thereby ask that that template may be recreated again. It took me a lot of work to create it and I have to confess, I was bold in doing so, but that's what people expect from editors, is it not?

I can't figure very well the deletion log, so I'm not even sure if it was you who deleted it originally. If not, could you please inform the original admin of my position? Or if you point me in the right track, I'll do it myself.--]]] <sup>] / ]</sup> 09:42, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

If you have any time, I could really use some help, even if it's just tagging articles with a {{tl|Wikiproject Viruses}} template. Cheers! &ndash; ]] 06:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Frazzydee for cleaning up after me. Forgot that bit - and it's kinda useful... :-) Best wishes. --] (]) 22:08, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

==Where is my project page ?==
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Um...Frazzydee is it? My project page was deleted shortly after i created a wiki account here on this website. I joined Misplaced Pages so i could make a small fun article about myself you know like how celebs do so, yeah i did that page out of fun. it was not bothering anyone by being there. i would like to know why my s*** was deleted when it was about me and when it was not harming anyone? i also realized you probably was only doing your job so i finna be cool with it and just make another page...no harm was really done 4 real. ] (])---] 10:48 am 5 April 2010 <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added 17:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== ] ==

You've been around WP a lot longer than me, so I'm a little reluctant to make this comment, but I'm troubled by your making fun off this newbie. It comes very close to a personal attack on a newbie. As I noted there, while changing {{tl|otheruses4}} to {{tl|about}} is a strange use of time, it's actually an improvement to the article in question.

You don't have e-mail posted, so I can't make this a private note, but feel free to delete it if you wish. <strong>Jim</strong> - ] (] • ]) 23:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

: No worries, of course a public note is fine since every contribution I make is public anyways.

: I was really surprised to see your message, as I was not intending to make fun of the user in any way at all. I originally contacted him because I noticed he was getting warnings about vandalism when all his changes were positive, and never vandalized even once– this was to thank him for his contributions, welcome him to wikipedia, and apologize for the accusations of vandalism that others had made.

: Although my second comment was intended as a friendly note, I can see how it might be interpreted otherwise. When I said, "puts much effort into something that only he really understands", I meant, "other people don't see it as something very important, but he does". Re-reading it, I can see your issue with it, but when I said that only he thinks it's important, I didn't mean that it isn't important, just that the other two users did not see it as such. Perhaps that's not how the comment reads, but it's what I meant.

: So thanks for your note. Had I not read that comment again with a more objective eye, in light of what you said, I really wouldn't have imagined it to be construed as anything other than a mildly funny (or perhaps not funny at all) joke. -]|] 00:13, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

::Thanks for your positive reaction above -- I very rarely slap people on the wrist and this is actually the first time I've done it on WP to a stranger. I worry about this sort of thing because my son, a technical writer who would have been an asset to WP, had a bad first experience and hasn't edited since. It seemed to me that ] got a raw deal, first from User:Zhang He (which you were the first to put down), and then from your joke, which Donmike10 joined.

::My concern is that while certainly you both meant to be funny, calling someone by a name that's not their own can be a form of bullying. Here on WP, where many of our users have English as a second or third language, it's likely to be misinterpreted. The fact is, I may have misinterpreted it -- I don't have a clue why you picked "Jamie", except that it's not gender specific. Jokes that would be utterly routine banter among friends often fall flat with people from other cultures or languages.

::I also reacted -- maybe overreacted -- to your both speaking of the User on his/her own talk page in the third person. It's clumsy, but better, I think, to say "User:174.3.123.220" and "you" rather than "this user".

::I don't know policy here -- you're the long time admin, Frazzydee -- can we just wipe out everything on User:174.3.123.220's talk page except maybe the first three paragraphs of the section April 2010 and start him/her over with a new, personal, welcome note? Or something like that? I leave it to your judgment.... <strong>Jim</strong> - ] (] • ]) 11:10, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

:::I don't think it would be appropriate for me to wipe out another user's talk page, especially if I believe I have erred. User:174.3.123.220 can always wipe it himself, but I've apologized on the talk page in any case. -]|] 12:45, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

:::Also, you will notice that I only referred to 174.3.123.220 in the third person in the first part of my second comment, which was meant as a joke. When addressing him/her, I did use the word "you", for what it's worth. Similar with donmike10's comment– he was addressing me so said "him/her" instead of "you". And (s)he is located in Calgary, so I don't think that misinterpretation because of language facilities is likely. Anyways, I'm sorry that my failed attempt at humour was so badly executed. -]|] 16:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

::::Hey, you've been an admin for a long time, so you have to be fundamentally a good person with the patience of Job -- I didn't and don't question your good intentions, just your execution, which is now behind us. My search told me the IP address was in Edmonton, but that's beside the point -- he/she might have been anywhere.... It's too bad there's further piling on from 217.39.48.213, which you've commented on on the user page. I wish there were some way to phone the person and say, "Hey, it usually isn't this way -- it's really a pretty good place."

::::BTW, a WHOIS will show you only the location of the head office of the ISP. Use something like to find the actual location of an IP address. A WHOIS on mine shows New Jersey, but the IP locater shows me correctly in Massachusetts.

::::Regards, <strong>Jim</strong> - ] (] • ]) 20:57, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::Right, thanks for the correction. And by the way, my having been an admin for a long time doesn't necessarily mean that I know what I'm doing, and I do appreciate you bringing any oversights to my attention. I'm sure anybody else would feel the same. You shouldn't feel reluctant to address any potential issues with anybody- regardless of how long they've been on wikipedia. After all, there is no ] (or at least I haven't been invited to it yet!) ;) -]|] 21:03, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

== Living Videotext ==

No problem. Like your text better, so I've left it as is. Just editing some links a bit to make them hit other articles directly instead of redirecting. ] (]) 01:52, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, can't help. I see contradictory information in the links. More reliable information should emerge soon, if it has not already. ] (]) 07:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Jamie ==

Thanks for the message.

Sorry I didn't reply: On wikipedia, when you try to make conversation with another user, and in so doing, invest time in a relationship, it becomes tedious when the other person doesn't reciprocate.

But I like the name Jamie, and feel free to call me Jamie:-)

And no, I didn't take offence to anything you said:-) You were being friendly. Your messages where not personal attacks, and I know how some editors can see it that way:-)] (]) 08:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, if you feel it is controversial, feel free to revert my change.

I didn't think it was important to include this biographical information on the story. None of the other articles have this more-or-less disclaimer on articles. (not to mention ])

But, like I said, if it is controversial, feel free to revert me.] (]) 08:58, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Deltions otherususes4` ==

Currently the template is a redirect. Would it be just as good to submit it at tfd?] (]) 09:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I will need an administrator to complete the tfd or rfd process:-)] (]) 09:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

:I think the attitude would be that it causes no harm so why not keep it as a redirect? Usually tfd's are successful when the template (content) is not needed. Old templates are typically kept as a redirect as long as they're still in use. You can try nominating if you want.

:Instead, if you're serious about this, I would recommend marking the template as deprecated. See ]. I don't think it would be contentious, considering it's already been decided that the name should change.

:When the template becomes orphaned & deprecated it may be a criteria for speedy deletion, see ]. In any case, it will put editors on notice that they should be using {{tl|about}} instead. Actually getting it to an orphaned state (not used by any articles) might be a problem.

:As I mentioned before, ] wrote a bot that orphans templates which should make your life easier. See here: ]. Not sure if it's still running, but you can ask. Probably best to ask to run the bot when it's clear there are no objections- leave the orphaned notice up there for a couple weeks and leave a note on the template talk page, creator's talk page, and maybe talk pages for other frequent editors.

:By the way, even if the bot isn't running, a template marked as orphaned should attract other editors to help you out.

:Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions or need help.

::Sure, let's try to file a tfd. Could you help me with that? Thanks in advance.] (]) 10:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

::::If you want to nominate for deletion, please nominate at ] first and then I'll put the notice up. But I would try the bot route first as long as there is consensus to do so, see Tim's response below.

I blocked him on the assumption that he was a returning vandal, although I have no idea which one. Must've been one I'd blocked. I've actually spent more time in the article space over the last couple of days polishing up a new article. If you think a week's too long, I'll gladly reduce the time of the block. --] (]) 03:14, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
