Bad blocking

• Shouldn't have used the same sig, man. Too obvious that you were emulating User:Rama's Arrow -- Samir धर्म 09:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

That's ridiculious. Now I have to make a another username just because I made my signature bold? Rama's car 09:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Put an unblock on your page and see who cares -- Samir धर्म 09:38, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Rama's car

Based on this user's contributions, I believe either Eddie Segoura or the AOL-EddieSegoura copycat is back. A short range block may be in order. Ryūlóng 09:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Samir, can you see this comment of Nirav's, to which I replied on his talk page. Since he is on a wikibreak, can you see if any further changes need to be made to the DYK nom -- Lost 10:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Gets my message across -- Lost 11:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Great Kathmandu

Will try my best to make it so can I ask you for help? just with how to use the code and stuff.

Regards

DYK

Hey Samir.. just wondering... DYKs are on the main page for how long before being changed? Cause it seemed it changed within a few hours to me... --Deenoe 12:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

BTW... it doesnt show even in the archive... --Deenoe 12:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh okay cool.. I thought it was every 24 hours.--Deenoe 22:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

If you're still around, you might consider adding the notices which I have set out in a separate section because I have got a meeting which unexpectedly turned up. The front three on the waiting list are mine now, seeing as I couldn't pick them myself, but Srikeit made Parthiv Patel my 25th yesterday, which is good timing as today is 3 months on the job. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 01:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Just a note I had to rewrite the Ian Craig (shocking that as I have a conflict of interest), but the Australian adjective is needed, as he is not the youngest of all countries. Was that comment to Srikeit about the phone call? Blnguyen | rant-line 03:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Were you intending to do this next update? Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 03:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Re:DYK

Thanks :-) I did make a couple of serious screw-ups like forgetting to remove a user signature before updating & not protecting the page before going live, but overall wasn't as big a disaster as I thought ;) Definitely looking forward to the next refreshment! Cheers Srikeit 13:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)(cell)

Re: Wow

That was a nice one. Yes, getting vandalism shows that you have finally made it. Now all I need is an impersonator (Saksi_great??) :) Blnguyen introduced me to image tagging today.. so I'll be doing a bit of that too from now on. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 16:15, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Did you know? was updated. On 28 August, 2006, a fact from the article Alfred Ford, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hey I'm getting quite good at this ;-) --Srikeit 19:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

My Editor Review

Hi Samir, Wow! Thanks for the great comment on my review. I will try to make some new articles over the next week or two: and cite them well :). Thanks again for the input, Deon555_Review 00:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: AN

I'm suffering heavy critism from this pair on Talk:Anime. here's the invalid warning after TheFarix assumed bad faith and said I was POV Pushing. He gave me a hard time for requesting mediation and said I was "lazy". The request ccan be found here. -- Selmo 00:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Rollback in my archives

I believe that the user may be a sockpuppet of currently reblocked SqueakBox (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) after I found IP contributions at WP:RFPP. Ryūlóng 00:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Bypass redirects in DYK

Hey, Could you change

• ...that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is reanalysing Atlantic hurricane data to correct errors in the hurricane database dating back to the Apollo Program?

to bypass the redirects of

hurricane → tropical cyclone and Apollo Program → Project Apollo?

– Chacor 02:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Haha, two things. I'm not the author, I only contributed to the intro of the article, and the redirects haven't been bypassed ;) – Chacor 02:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

DYK template

Hi Samir, just a quick one for you: Brian Kennedy is a disambig page. The Eurovision fact should link to Brian Kennedy (singer). BigHaz 09:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Central Sikh Temple

Hi Samir, its alright though. :) It took me some time to do it, didn't know my article got on DYK so fast, as most DYKs only go up on the last day, if I'm right. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 10:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Thanks! Thank you very much for your support on my recent Request for Adminship, and the kind words in your rationale. The request was ultimately unsuccessful - which wasn't entirely surprising - and so I'll be taking special care to address the concerns raised by the opposing !voters before running again. If you have any feedback for me, please don't hesitate to leave it at my talk page. Thanks! -- RandyWang (/patch) 13:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for message on my talk page. Of course you call me Randy after I change my name - I wouldn't feel myself if you didn't. ;) RandyWang (/_patch) 11:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Deleting articles

Spyderchat on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Spyderchat. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review. We feel blindsided that your cited reasons for deletion were never mentioned in the deletion discussion, that you never commented in the article prior to deletion, and that the article was deleted in spite of a majority of comments to keep and the very thorough clean-up and overhaul of the article itself. Please undelete this article or at least provide better rationale. | My oversight with adding the sig, I just forgot (was probably typing too fast and distracted). Apologies. VigilancePrime 16:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you very much for participating in my RFA, which closed successfully today with a result of (62/18/3). I will go very carefully at first, trying to make sure I don't mess up too badly using the tools, and will begin by re-reading all the high-quality feedback I received during the process, not least from those who opposed me. Any further advice/guidance will be gratefully accepted. I hope I will live up to your trust! Guinnog 14:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)}

Ischemic colitis

Hey, I've been working on the ischemic colitis page - take a look. You mentioned you might have some photos; do you have any cool pictures we can add to the article? MastCell 22:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Yellow Pigs Day on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Yellow Pigs Day. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review. --FOo 05:32, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

If the decision on review is keep deleted, could you please keep this article in your userspace for a couple of days as there is content I would want to move over to HCSSiM. Also, is it possible for a non-admin to access the article history? Regards, Newyorkbrad 15:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

HHGL-Logo1.jpg

Hi, I've uploaded a logo to this site a few times already, and it's been deleted. The other two pictures I have uploaded were not deleted, so I'm confused why this one was. I was given permission to use this picture, I was one of the people running the event that this logo came from.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Full body scan

Samir, I believe that due to the issue I raised on the article's talk page, it should not be featured at all. Please consider replacing it with another DYK (and adding yet another one, as the template looks quite "empty" on the main page now). Thanks, Bravada, talk - 14:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I am afraid not, as it just reflects that the article is a half-hearted compromise. This is a controversial issue and I believe it's inclusion in DYK is a bad precedent. See the Macedonia example (and Macedonia-related articles are now cleaned to be NPOV etc.) on Grue's talk page to see my point. I believe such "facts" should not be featured on DYK. Bravada, talk - 14:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Chretien has no "that". Just a minor memo, please remove it afterwards. thanks! Bravada, talk - 00:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

RFCU

What? Ryūlóng 21:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

User/talk

Thanks. I hadn't even noticed I'd done that until I saw your edit... Wjhonson 05:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Great Lakes Myth Society

Hey Samir, can you elaborate on why you think this was a no consensus? Thanks! ~ trialsanderrors 06:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

For reverting vandalism to my user page yet again. MER-C 09:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Whistleblowers

Yeah sure, I'll see what I can do with the time I have. School started again so my time is a little bit chopped down :( but I think I can help expand the article here and there soon. --Deenoe 10:02, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, please delete. Aiming for consistency. - Kittybrewster 10:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Scientific notability guideline

Hey, I noticed that we have notability guidelines on everything from hotels to porn actors, but none on scientific concepts, theories, and terms. I started putting some intitial ideas together at User:Trialsanderrors/SCIENCE and am looking for contributions and feedback now. If this essay can gather some steam we could move it into the WP space and make it an active proposal. There are lots of particulars in debates about scientific topics such as peer-review, citations, impact factor, etc., that editors should be made aware of before they offer an opinion based on the "Google test", and I think it would be a good way to collect all of this in one spot. Let me know if you're interested. Cheers, trialsanderrors 10:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• An excellent idea. -- Samir धर्म 13:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

DYK

On 1 September, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Biological therapy for inflammatory bowel disease, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Nice work! Keep checking the scope, I'll be dropping by often ;) --Srikeit 18:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Template question

Samir, I have a question. Should a template be included in an article that is not specifically included in the template itself? Justforasecond is being blocked for 3RR, but it involves his removing {{Christianity}} from Jews for Jesus. Can you tell me where the policy is on this? I can't find it. Thanks. Whiskey Rebellion 19:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

• No policy that I know exists on it. I put the gastroenterology template on a tonne of articles that are not cited on it. I see the template issue for this particular article is being discussed on the relevant talk page, and I'd defer to the consensus reached there. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 10:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Crohn's

Hey Samir,

why are you deleting my edit on the Crohn's Disease article?

that website I posted, crohnsdaily.com, was NOT spam!!

I run a ligidimate network for Crohn's Disease support, no different then those other links..and I've even been online longer then crohnszone, and those other links, on that article have been..

so again I ask you "why was that deleted" I will dispute that with you until the end, I promise you that. I don't care for your discrimination against my forum.

take care. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bubazoo (talk • contribs) .

• Already too many EL's on Crohns. If you post the data of your forum (number of members, Alexa rank, etc.) may reconsider. Thanks -- Samir धर्म 09:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Castell's sign

Ellow,

do you have a copy of that blatant self reference somewhere, I'd like to read a copy but I'm to lazy to go to the medical library, maybe you have it on your harddisk? If not don't bother. Funny edit summ though -funny but honest.

--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 09:29, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

• E-mailed. One of Dr. Castell's long term research fellows did his GI residency with me -- Samir धर्म 19:36, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Blocking an old account.

I had an old account (User:Brainiacoutcast) and I switched to User:BrainiacOutcast, because I forgot my password, but now I realized that I need User:Brainiacoutcast blocked, to be safe. Could you give me a hand please?

--BrainiacOutcast17:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Note

On 2 September, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Biological therapy for inflammatory bowel disease, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Barrhaven

The closest hospital to Barrhaven is still the Queensway Carleton. Other than walk in clinics we have nothing as far as emergency care goes. I don't know if it's of relevence to what you're doing, but the Queensway Carleton just got signed to a 1$ a year lease on it's land. If you need anything else feel free to ask. Cheers Canadian-Bacon 01:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

We do have a few family practices, but Barrhaven is rapidly growing, we're going to need more capacity very soon. Cheers Canadian-Bacon 01:17, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

But I like your user name! - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 19:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Yup. The Scope looks great. I thought the word came from Stethoscope though. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 19:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar thanks

Hi Samir! Thank you so much for the Barnstar :) I'm honored! As usual, at your service if you ever need any help. I'm off to "hang" the Barnstar on my User page now :) Cheers, Redux 19:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Long-Overdue RfA Thanks from Alphachimp

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which was successful with a an overwhelmingly flattering and deeply humbling total of 138/2/2 (putting me #10 on the RfA WP:100). I guess infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Misplaced Pages. With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you. (Thanks go to Blnguyen for the incredible photo to the right.) alphaChimp 01:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I've seen nothing but good things from you. Keep up the good work. alphaChimp 01:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Protection of the "crusader"

Is full protection really that necessary in this case? If he does plan on only using the IP for vandalism, then no one can warn him when his block does run out. Ryūlóng 02:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

What about extending the block on the IP? He doesn't look apologetic. Ryūlóng 02:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

So you're not going to down the protection to semi? Ryūlóng 02:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

If and when he does start up, again, it's a pain to us RC Patrollers that we can't give him the {{bv}}s. Ryūlóng 03:08, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest

Thanks for closing it Samir. alphaChimp 03:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

CaRMage

Thanks for the offer. :) I'd have taken you up on it in a second but, the interesting research in nephro aside, I realized over this past year that IM and me aren't such a good match. So, things are a bit different than they may have appeared. That said, if you're still offering advice in general or would be willing to a read personal statement, I'd probably take you up on that a little while from now. :) Nephron  T|C 04:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

It's like the newest WP project I started... but has yet to get off the ground-- radiology (WP:Rads). Check-out the CaRMS article--if you haven't already. :) Nephron  T|C 05:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for Reverting Vandalism

Hello. I just wanted to thank you for reverting the recent vandalism on my user page. I appreciate it. Hotstreets 04:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

G'day (from Deon555's talk page)

Small note: since your in the convo, why not add it to your page =) Hey Deon, nice to hear from you. Thanks for your message; I'm glad you found my comment about your talk link helpful. By the way, I noticed on your userpage that you go to Monash Uni, you're very young. Did you skip some school or something? Feel free to ignore that question if it's private, I'm just curious. :) As you know, I thought you were a few years older than you are and being at uni early could be why you seem older. Hope alls well with you, Deon, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

You may be notable as a prodigy :) -- Samir धर्म 10:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC) (sorry for eavesdropping, by the way)

Hi Sarah (and Samir :) ). Nah, i'm not sure how that stayed there: i put it there ages ago on the template (for next year), and I thought i removed it.. :P Again: ur comments are useful. I'll be at Monash Clayton next year for a kinda weird experience to do with VCAL and VCE the year after.. I'll be doing 3 days at school (home :) ), 1 day Monash and 1 day at Work.. It's a trial-type thing that Monash Clayton is doing next year, and hopefully it will stay, kind of like an extra year (even though it's only 1 day a week), but that works out to around a term of uni, kind of like a 0th Year :P, to see if thats the course i'm really interested in, and give me time to Change my preference if need be. Thanks for the note. All is well here :), and I hope all's well there. Thanks! --Deon555_Review 11:14, 4 September 2006 (UTC) No worries about the whole 'eavesdropping' thing Samir.. I dont *really* :P have anything to hide, and it creates a kind of community-conversation type which is all friendly and all, and yeh I'll go now :). Have a good 'un. -Deon555_Review

Re: Stoneman DYK

Thanks for pulling up the Stoneman article for DYK. I've got a pretty busy Labor Day barbeque lined up this afternoon, but as soon as I get back, I'll try to work on the references section. Thanks again. :) --Antorjal 16:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

re: Muhammad as a diplomat

wa 'alaikum Samir,

you really think so? i was thinking maybe it could get up to GA status.. i did read the FA criterion (which i found rather daunting) and thought it didn't really reach a level of "comprehensiveness" which i have seen in other FA articles. i would like to get consensus on the state of the article though because there has been virtually no input about it yet (considering it still is rather new). thank you! ITAQALLAH 18:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Tanke

Thanks for the Pullitzer. I'm glad that guy passed over (into public domain), and I'm delighted with the replacement. (Didn't want no unfree Nobel anyway...weighed too much anyway, and my neck was getting sore.) Geogre 20:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Help!

Hey! I recently joined the CVU with VandalProof. I got hold on a vanity article called Yellow Bird Project created by a user called Yellowbirdproject. I flagged the article for Speedy Delete and a few minutes later, a brand new account called Lua123 removed the tag, so I have reasons to believe it's some sockpuppetry. Anyways, what should I do with the user YPB (that blanks his user page by the way and ignores ALL warnings)? Thanks. --Deenoe 00:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks again Samir! Quick and great answer.. aaaaas usual! --Deenoe 10:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Kumaranalloor Mani

Thanks. Please do. I haven't heard of him, but that doesn't mean anything when the topic is something like this. The one thing going good for that article is that it was created by a (former) regular editor and not a drive-by one. Tintin (talk) 06:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Folke Bernadotte

Samir, you protected Folke Bernadotte on SpinyNorman's version, which amounts to rewarding his 3RR violation. Would you please consider either unprotecting or at least restoring and protecting the pre-3RR version? Spiny is a troublesome editor who tends to edit by revert, and so it's arguably important not to allow him to profit from the behavior. Cheers, SlimVirgin 12:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello Samir, the barnstar from you was like a nice samir - a flow of fresh air: yes, your name means perhaps the same!
