Archiving

Hey Anwar, if you ever need to tidy stuff up but still keep it, you can create a subpage of your talkpage, called (eg) User talk:Anwar Saadat/Archive 1. Try Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page for proper instructions. A lot of folk take pride in keeping the good and the bad, regardless - but it's your page, do it how you like! Cheers, JackyR 00:10, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

If the updates are retained I retain all notes pertaining to them. Otherwise, its a waste of space. Anwar saadat 13:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds a good idea... Must clean up my own talk page... ;-) JackyR 11:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

But it is worth heeding the advice of some of the edits to your talkpage before you delete them, such as adding correct copyright information to the various images you uploaded! 12:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

My Voting Policies

• Mature civil editors, with wide-ranging interests, who passed Mailer Diablo's test and presume good faith in conflict resolution get my vote
• Solid referenced contributions with practical applications get my vote

Ajith

As you've archived your compromise I'll have to start a new section. Anyway, the point is this. I don't agree with your compromise. If you decided to go and start edit North Indian pages I wouldn't care, as long as your edits conformed with Misplaced Pages policies. But the thing you seem to have forgotten is that Misplaced Pages is the Free Encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. That includes non-Tamils, our lack of knowledge on Kollywood does not reflect on our lack of knowledge of English and Misplaced Pages Policies. If we read the article and see it contains unnecessary boasting (by using words like mega-) then we will change it. So, no, you cannot bar non-Tamils from editing Kollywood articles. Nobleeagle (Talk) 08:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Nobleeagle here. Read verbatim, Misplaced Pages's policy states that: "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it." -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 08:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry

Anwar, despite my suggestion to you to wait for a couple of days, you've gone ahead making edits across the board. Also, your "compromise" saying non-Tamils should be barred from editing Tamil articles is, at best, unacceptable. -- Sundar 08:38, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I note that you have not edited across the board. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Just cool off for some more time. -- Sundar 09:39, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

He's back now, apparently I'm a fascist. Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

And now he's attacking good quality articles like Indian cricket team, which is currently running for SAC and just became a Good Article. He's stalking me and Zora, as his only edits to articles like Rajesh Khanna, Indian cricket team and Hindutva have been reversions. Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

You also should not revert Zora on Veer-Zaara citing "italicise" when it is clearly a content replacement.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 07:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Did I mention Major power, I suspect he's checking my contributions and visiting each of the pages. Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, I give up. Deal with him as per the policies. -- Sundar 08:55, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Block

Anwar, despite repeated requests for civility by so many wikipedians, you continue to break the decorum and act uncivil. I had no option but to have you blocked for 24 hrs. This will be noted in your block log, and it might hurt your chances for adminship in the future. If you wish to be an admin in the future, please start maturing. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Ajith Official Homepage

Hello, Anwar, I noticed that you are looking for a picture of Ajith to add it to the corresponding article without other editors deleting it again because of copyright issues. If you know a page where I can find some pictures of him from his movies like promotional material or screen shots, we could take a picture from there and I'll look after copyright information so Ajith finally gets his well-deserved picture. Also: the link in his box (ajithfans.com) is not his official homepage, but a fan page. It says there that it is about Ajith but not affiliated with him. If he has an official homepage, built by his agent or his production company, we could link it, but fan pages, because of copyright issues should generally not be linked at Misplaced Pages. It has nothing to do with the page itself, merely with the fact that it's not Ajith's official homepage. Best regards, --Plumcouch 17:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Anwar, I found a picture of Ajith with copyright information, so I added it. Hope you are happy with it. Also, I found his official homepage and linked it under his picture. Best regards, --Plumcouch 19:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Clear up a bit of controversy

Just want to clarify whether any of the following IP Addresses are yours. As their contributions fit perfectly with your interests and so does their POV. Could you please clear up the matter. Thanks. Nobleeagle (Talk) 08:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC) User:212.32.85.221 User:212.32.115.163

I would appreciate and feel happy if you come out clean on this issue. check my talk page, to know why are you asked about it. --M.arunprasad 13:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

my rfa

thankyou Anwar saadat for the additional question on my rfa, and taking the time to consider it, i have now answered it, thanks Benon 02:53, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I have given my vote. Please mind your tally. One user has changed from neutral stance to support. Anwar saadat 13:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

My Wheel-Bin

A troll's melodrama

Troll tip

Just a tip, when someone leaves an unsigned comment, then you can use the template {{unsigned|username}} which would produce — Preceding unsigned comment added by username (talk • contribs) . Just because someone forgot to sign doesn't mean you ignore their comments. Nobleeagle (Talk) 00:17, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

Hello again. I noticed that you have used 2 images and on your userboxes. It would be wiser to remove them as according to Fair use policy "Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace. Used outside article space, they are often enough not covered under the fair use doctrine. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages.". So till you find a free image, I don't think you should use them on your user page. - Aksi_great (talk) 06:27, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

The images have been removed, obviously this indicates Aksi was not trolling. Nobleeagle (Talk) 08:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

RFA Opposition Spree

Please be careful before opposing RFAs for no reason. The issues I have seen you present include:

• This editor has issues.
• Per Ardenn (who presented no reason to oppose apart from the fact that no RFA should go unopposed)
• I am shocked and appalled and petrified and mortified. Adminship is not a joke (in response to the guy that was running for adminship making a joke on the RFA page to celebrate his 5000th post)

This is in your best interests as it seriously undermines your credibility. Nobleeagle (Talk) 09:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I see that you have still not removed the images from your user page and moved my comment to a heading marked troll. Well, it is upto you how you tag comments on your talk page, but whether you consider me a troll or not (you may be interested in reading Misplaced Pages:What is a troll) that is no reason to keep images on your user page. Misplaced Pages policy clearly states that you cannot use these images, and I have warned other users too about the policy . Please try and understand. - Aksi_great (talk) 06:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

How's my advice about unsigned comments considered trolling??? Nobleeagle (Talk) 07:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I see this is considered trolling too. Anwar, you have potential to be a good friendly editor, find that potential within you... Nobleeagle (Talk) 08:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Your Userpage Organization

I'm putting this in troll since whatever I say is obviously trolling. But it indicates that you assume bad faith in all discussions. By labelling reasonable comments as melodrama. Nobleeagle (Talk) 08:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

A sockpuppet's melodrama

Excuse me but wot do u think you are playing at on my homepage, if you are going to be rude this is not the place to be.

I found what you said offencesive.

I am not a muslim so wot?

Please do not continue in this fashion as you will get blocked from wikipedia, and i will ahve to report you.

Be careful man. Ghajini 19:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

The person who vandalised your homepage has nothing to do with this Anwar Saadat. Tintin (talk) 19:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

It sed Anwar saadat and the link took me here Ghajini 19:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Look at the history. Somebody was faking his identity. He has been blocked indefinitely now. Tintin (talk) 19:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

A failed RfA's melodrama

Hi Anwar - There is a lot of concern amongst your fellow editors regarding your edits and behavior. While you are obviously a valuable and promising contributor to Misplaced Pages, you have acted in an insulting fashion with many decent editors, and with a negative, near-disrupting attitude on RfAs and FACs. You are behaving arrogantly and rudely, and perhaps with an anti-India, anti-Hindu bias. However we can be wrong about you - we certainly hope so - and we want to work with you with mutual respect. We want you on Misplaced Pages, but you need to address the concerns of the community. The way you've responded to Nobleeagle, Sundar, Aksi great and Bhadani is not defensible.

Please see user talk:Gurubrahma#Need your advice. You need to understand the concerns expressed, and hopefully you'll see the need for remedy of your ways. We want to work with you, not against you. We are perfectly willing to listen to your views and concerns. But your behavior is hurting Misplaced Pages and not individual users. Please consider this issue very seriously. Rama's Arrow 21:11, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Wow! I have never talked to any of those editors till now. OK I think I got it. Suppose if I blindly voted to support unfit candidates and substandard contributions every week, will your concerns be addressed? Sorry, this is a encyclopaedia. And I am not a meatpuppet. Anwar 21:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

An abusive admin's melodrama

I am shocked to learn that you being a Muslim take drinks , . --Bhadani 14:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

In case, you come to Chennai, I would like to meet you. Thanks. --Bhadani 16:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

A friendly advice

Your proclamation on user page that you support the independence of Kashmir may attract the proviso of the Indian Penal Code, and in case you are a citizen of India, and hold an Indian Passport; you may be charged with treason. This is a friendly advice and the statement of factual position , and not a Legal Threat as defined in wikipedia. --Bhadani 17:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Further, in case, you are an Indian citizen, your above assertion may lead any Indian to file a case in an Indian Court, and the Court may order blocking of access to wikipedia in India. That day shall be really a sad day for we wikipedians. --Bhadani 17:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

In case, I do not get any response from you within a reasonable time of say two to three days, I shall be constrained to beleive that you are an Indian citizen, and shall remove the above assertion from your user page to avoid a position as indicated above. Regards. --Bhadani 17:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I would like to meet you in person or talk with you over phone to expalin to you the "nitty-gritty" of the position. --Bhadani 17:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

However, in case, you are not a citizen of India, your seertion may be continued on your user page - though I am not sure of the direction Indian Courts would take for such matters. --Bhadani 17:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

The peace dove

Urban data on districts

Hello Anwar, Good job updating the urban data on the district articles. Here is barnstar for that. May I suggest that you add a sub-heading, "Demographics" and add the information under it. Thanks, Ganeshk (talk) 18:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Vijay picture

Hello, Anwar, I noticed your changes of copyright information of the Vijay picture. You tagged it as "no information on his copyright status". Copyright status information was provided, along with the copyright holder - is anything wrong with the copyright issue I am not aware of? --Plumcouch 07:24, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, its not a screenshot and its not from Aathi. It was a wallpaper collage copyrighted by indiaglitz.com Anwar saadat 13:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Anwar. I went to the official page, http://www.aathithefilm.com/ and took it from there. I re-tagged it as promotional picture, as it is a promo picture for the movie, if it's not a screenie. That should do. Best regards, --Plumcouch 16:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Featured list removal candidates

I noticed recently that you nominated List of Indian districts for removal. Earlier, the old discussion, from a previous removal attempt was displaying. It was for that reason that I reverted your edits.

I have since seen that you wish to renominate it for removal. In that case, please revert your edits to the page for the current nomination because a record has to be kept of it. Move it to some appropriate place, such as Misplaced Pages:Featured list removal candidates/List of Indian districts/Archive 1. Then, write the new removal nomination at the redirect page. This way, a record of the old discussion is kept outside of the edit history. This is said in a different way at Misplaced Pages:Featured list removal candidates.

PS: I noticed that your username is Anwar Saadat. Since there is a real-life historical figure with the name Anwar Sadat, it would probably benefit you to either change your username or at least change your signature (preferences) because some people might think that it is an inappropriate username. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 00:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure if my daddy would be pleased if I change my (user)name. So that's out of the question. Aloan has been kind enough to revert, move and redirect the renomination as you said. I am not good at housekeeping. How to change my signature? Anwar saadat 15:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Would this help you? - Aksi_great (talk) 16:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I think I got it. Anwar 16:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Sukh's RFA - Thanks!

Thank you for your vote on my RfA. Unfortunately there was no consensus reached at 43 support, 18 oppose and 8 neutral. I've just found out that there is a feature in "my preferences" that forces me to use edit summaries. I've now got it enabled :) Thanks again. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 15:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Economics

Hello Anwar. I'd like to tell you that despite the previous disagreement about Ajith Kumar, I think that you are doing an excellent job with the economic statistics. Your contributions are valuable. Keep it up!Blnguyen | Have your say!!! - review me 01:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup!

Thank you,Anwar saadat! Thank you for voting for my recent RfA, which passed (to my extreme surprise and shock) with a total tally of 66/15/2. Although you didn't give me a support vote, I would nevertheless like to thank you for your helpful comments and offer a helping hand in any admin-related tasks that may be required -- it's as simple as leaving a message on my talkpage. Thanks again! -→Buchanan-Hermit™/!? 22:41, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Request

Hi, I see that you use Tamil in your edit summaries many a time. That would be problematic for people who are not conversant with the language. Since this is the English WP, I request you to stick to English. In case you are interested in contributing in Tamil, you may find the Tamil Misplaced Pages more relevant. Thanks, --Gurubrahma 06:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Coding

Hi, is there any exhaustive ready reckoner list of all mark-up codes used in Misplaced Pages edits like < math >, < small >, etc? If so, where is it? Anwar 06:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)</math>

The page Help:Editing has many of them. Stifle (talk) 08:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Something is fishy with this page

Help:Displaying_a_formula. Is it supposed to be like this - blank! Anwar 09:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I've fixed it. Stifle (talk) 09:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

In Regards to User:Holy Ganga

I'm sorry you think that my tool is doing harm to Misplaced Pages, and I certainly do not wish for this to be the case. I'm looking into the situation with Holy Ganga, though I might add that the appropriate place to report users who perhaps should not be using the tool would be at User talk:AmiDaniel/VP/Abuse. If what you claim about his recent 3RR blocks is true, I will remove him from the list of approved users. AmiDaniel (talk) 21:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
