Misplaced Pages

Hi

I am fine. Just got busy in some non wiki work. Hope you are doing fine too. I still do check my watchlist once in a day and manage a minor edit here and there. But I think wiki got too complicated and people more dispruptive lately.

I hope to get back to editing :) Jisha C J 18:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes. More disruptive. But, true wikipedians shall fight back. --Bhadani 13:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks, but it neither of those days today :) Tintin (talk) 07:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Pointless edits

What's the point of such edits? You really have miles to go if you chose to add this to all the articles of WP. Please find something more useful to do. --Ghirla 15:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I was waiting for someone to point out. Hahahha. Thanks. --Bhadani 15:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I reserve the right to disappoint you. --Bhadani 15:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Beauty of wikipedia is that our actions are always under watchful eyes, which shall make us the Best. --Bhadani 15:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey guy, you really seem to have an editing itch, no offense intended. After my notice, you made a dozen further edits and posted six comments on this issue. Do you really think so many edits are necessary to express your opinion? With each edit, a separate version of the talk page is saved, thus overloading Misplaced Pages hardware. Please remember that we are here to create encyclopedic content, rather than to amuse ourselves and others. Cheers, Ghirla 15:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

With each edit, a separate version of the talk page is saved, thus overloading Misplaced Pages hardware. Not sure if is the case, MetaWiki (I think...someone please advise if my assumption is incorrect) will keep the changes from the previous version to the next. Not the entire page, no point saving stuff that never changed. It uses other compression technologies too. If entire page was saved each time, we will run out of hard-disk space in no time. The comment Bhadani added helps to define interwiki and article boundaries. - Ganeshk (talk) 17:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, these are futuristic edits to prompt someone knowing other languages to translate the pages of this encyclopedia to other language(s}, and I hope that I shall see the reply here. --Bhadani 15:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

If you think deeply and watch with an open mind, you shall find that my edits are not harming the credibility of wikipedia. There are many others who lower the credibility of wikipedia. Strange: one million editors, on an average, have created just one page each in five years. --Bhadani 16:55, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Clarifications. --Bhadani 17:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Value-addition requested. --Bhadani 17:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad Ganesh took the time to explain the essence of the workings. I'm most impressed of your devoted work on Simple WP, but I do agree with Ghirla in wanting to see you create delicious new articles here. Ever consider writing FAs? Do consider a shift in tactics.

Advance notification: Request for later arbitration

Hi,

I'm writing to you because you have been objective and unbiased in many matters on wikipedia in the past and I trust your judgement. I believe that I am being harassed by an admin who is abusing his powers to make POV edits on the articles on Michael Witzel and the California Hindu Textbook Controversy (he has admitted that he is a student researching such issues and so has a partisan bias on this matter). He has threatened me with blocks and bans and, based on his past history, may do so very soon. Right now, he has only made empty threats in my talk page, so i's not a problem. However, if he blocks me, then I request you to arbitrate this issue. I am informing you in advance because I will not be able to contact you if I am blocked by this admin. His name is dbachman and his user page is : http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Dbachmann.

The threats are on: http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Subhash_bose#Michael_Witzel

His accusations are baseless as all my edits are directly quoted from references I have cited.

If this potentially volatile situation comes to a head, I request you to be a neutral third party arbitrator on this matter. Thank you.Netaji 23:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Update. He has made another veiled threat as of this time on the Michael Witzel talk page.Netaji 07:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Moving a page

Hi,

Is it possible to move an IP talk page and history to a new user account? ie a move an ip page and its history to a newly created account?

Thanks. Newbie,learning 11:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Please ask some one more brilliant. --Bhadani 11:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Request

Hello! TerriersFan (talk · contribs) made a request on my talk page to delete the old version of Image:Star Collection.jpg. Could you please help him/her out? Thanks! -- thunderboltz11:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello again, Bhadaniji. TerriersFan (talk · contribs) has explained the reason why he wants the particular version of the image deleted. I believe it is quite justified and comes under CSD 7. If you have any reservations about the matter, could you please inform? Thanks, and best regards, -- thunderboltz12:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)~

And also. --Bhadani 13:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Surprise!

For your resilience, resourcefulness and being bold. You clearly deserve it! Best wishes! --Nearly Headless Nick 13:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello Sir Nic. The barnstar came as a great surprise to me, particularly so as to-day only I had presented one to Ambuj.Saxena: . I am not sure of myself to deserve the one for me. I thank you, and accept the barnstar on behalf of the community of wikipedians. Thank you my dear. May you continue to excel in real life as well as here as a wikipedian. --Bhadani 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Ambuj

Yes, Sir and please see that Ambuj should again become active here. Misplaced Pages should not lose him. --Bhadani 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Ambuj hasn't left, has he? I noticed earlier that he hasn't made any edits for 3 days... Sarah Ewart (Talk) 14:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope he hasn't -- Lost 14:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

I am sure Ambuj hasn't left. I had interacted with him on the evening of his birthday and he hadn't mentioned anything of that sort. I think he should be back today or tomorrow. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I have been a bit worried about him because of the RfA. I hope he comes back soon. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 14:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Ambuj hasnt left. He said he was going to Hyderabad and would be back on the 7th. -- thunderboltz14:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

(reset indent) You are right Bhadaniji. Thanks for the confirmation Deepu. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank God for social networking, actually...-- thunderboltz15:21, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Greetings

Very nice to hear from you. Things are hot here in Ohio. I just finished a performance with my band at the Zoo. How are things in Bihar? Badagnani 20:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, you're in Chennai? I am doing a research project about the American composer Alan Hovhaness who visited Madras in 1959 and composed music for Carnatic instruments. He worked with a pianist named Handel Manuel who was a local man specializing in Western classical music. I wonder if you could find any information in reference books about Handel Manuel. We're also trying to see if AIR Madras has recordings of the Hovhaness performances from that time but they haven't answered my emails. Thanks and best, Badagnani 20:41, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

If you want? --Bhadani 07:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

That would be wonderful, and I would be indebted to you. There is a graduate student from here who has just returned from five months in Chennai with many stories to tell. He was studying about Carnatic instruments such as kanjira, ghatam, and mridangam. I hope I'll be able to visit one day. Badagnani 16:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The piece Alan Hovhaness composed for Carnatic instrument ensemble (I think in early 1959) was called "Nagooran." It was composed in honor of the saint of the Nagore Andavar Dargah which he visited; I think it's located in Nagapattinam. Badagnani 16:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Help

An admin, User:Dbachmann is using talk pages to slander and make threats. He made a personal attack on user WIN using an IP address to conceal his identity. Also he has made threats against User:Subhash_bose many times. Bakaman%% 03:21, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

How could you know that it was his IP address? Having said this, I would like to add that there are many types of editors here and some are wasting resources of wikipedia and indirectly cheating the donors of Wikimedia Foundation. Perhpas, Wikimedia Foundation feels helpless about them! --Bhadani 07:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The IP address redirects to his user page. I was so caught up in Holywarriors anti-Hindu crusade I failed to notice your response. Bakaman _Bakatalk 17:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

This is not the test to identify such matters. Please try to resolve issues with him/her, instead of making it like a "war". We all are here with the same goal: to build the Project. --Bhadani 17:14, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I would, but I am being persecuted for my views .

Bakaman _Bakatalk 21:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I've enabled my email now. I was under the assumption that it was already enabled. It seems like it somehow got disabled when I changed my email address in the preferences last month. Thanks. -- thunderboltz05:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Star Collection.jpg

Hello! I had passed your request over to Bhadani (talk · contribs) as I do not hold sysOp privllages. However I noticed that he hasnt taken any action yet. Perhaps it is because it is unnecessary to delete the old version. Is there any particular reason why you need it to be deleted? Waiting for your reply.-- thunderboltz12:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)~

Because it contains a name and email address that I don't want publicised. They were included by mistake. TerriersFan 19:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Nice meeting you. What you exactly want to get deleted? --Bhadani 13:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi; simply the first item in the history for this photo. TerriersFan 14:00, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

A message

Hello Bhadani. Not sure if you're interested, but there is a lot of discussions involving the actions of certain users on my user page, most of whom participated for or against these pages, and their confrontational conduct and religious inflammation on talk pages and the like, eg Talk:Californian Hindu textbook controversy. you may want to have a say about how it's developing or review my actions/mediation so far..or perhaps relieve me of my duties even?

Hello

Hi, I saw you on K's page where I land sometime to rest. On K's page you told about his name being mentioned in the national radio. What did they tell? --Bhadani 11:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, it was just a silly reference. A user with a bone to pick called in to rant about rogue admin bullies on WP, and he mentioned K as his example. Nothing different from him or any other random person who has had a disagreement with an admin, he just happened to focus his anger on getting onto the call in show. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 13:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Happy Rakshabandhan!

Dear Gangadharji,

Yes, off and on I do visit wikipedia and inspite of lot of opposition I still find it absorbing. You are doing very good work. May God bless you! VMO 17:13, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Simple article

Thanks for the info, Bhadaniji. I'll have a look tomorrow. -- Sundar 17:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Re:Lothal

Hi Bhadaniji - thanks! I am delighted that you created the article. I don't think that I'll be able to contribute, as I'm a bit busy here and I don't really know how Simple works - I'm a very verbose writer of prose, wouldn't know when to stop! However, many thanks for creating the article and informing me, Rama's arrow 17:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Mr.Bhadani I still awiat your letter.But this note is to seek your advice concerning a very persistent anonymous user 128.104.190.25.He is bent on vandalising the Kayastha page-keeps on inserting Amartya Sen's name in list of prominent Kayasthas in the category of science and technology.Amartya Sen has made no contribution to science-besides he is not even a Kayastha,but a Vaid as he himself claims in his book.His first wife Nabaneeta is a Kayastha.I have corrected this over and over again leaving messages and in the last instance being rude-threatening to get him blocked!He has done it yet again.Does this call for his blockage?(Vr 06:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC))

Mohammad Reza Aghaei Laghaei

I was hoping you could expidite the Misplaced Pages:Requests for investigation on a vandal.

The reason I am writing you is because you deleted the Mohammad Reza Aghaei Laghaei page on July 22, 2006..

This user has been a long time vandal to the CIA page, putting this name Mohammad Reza Aghaei Laghaei on the CIA page numberous times, and he has vandalized other pages sporadically over the months.

Today, I just reported this user to the Misplaced Pages:Requests for investigation police. I also built a page about this user: Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Akademy-force, this page was automatically created when I put the {{Template:Sockpuppet}} on this users 8 user pages.

Is it possible to close all of these 8 ISP's and his user name down permenantly?

If you are interested in helping, could I put a message on the CIA talk page to report any future abuse by this user to you? Thanks for your time. Travb (talk) 09:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
