== Re:IIPM protection ==

Well, there's no way I could have a "whitelist" for people who could edit the page. You told your account was just created and according to the semi-protection policy, your account will be allowed to edit the page in about 3 days time. I'm not involved in this matter, but I'll try talking to Ganesh to see if protection should be removed. If he doesn't agree, you can just wait 3 days until you will be allowed to edit the page.

== Re:Administrative conflict of interest in the case of Ganesh, an administrator and an editor on this site ==

I am sorry that you had taken offense at my statement. It was not intentional. I consider you to be a established editor too if that helps in any way. :) I do check my spellings and grammar when I edit the article pages. I don't put great importance to it on talk pages. Your understanding is right that an administrator should be good at following the guidelines and policies here.

I don't see a conflict of interest here. I don't edit the IIPM article as an admin. I am just a observer to make sure the policies and guidelines are adhered to.

I think you got the Nishkid message part wrong. I did not request Nishkid to protect the article. I had it at ]. It just so happened that Nishkid worked on that request and protected the article. I personally did not interact with Nishkid before. My message to Nishkid was in response to his on my talk page. You can check the time lines if you want.

There is no reason I should stay out of editing the article. If you feel otherwise, please feel free to ask other administrators at ].

== Signing posts ==

Hi Mrinal,

Just wanted to tell you that since you now edit from an account, you need not sign "<nowiki>Mrinal ~~~~</nowiki>", as just "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" would also display you name. There is no restrictions on your writing your name, but just thought to imform you to spare yourself from extra typing. — ] (]) 15:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

== Your query==

. However, you may write what you wish to do on the talk page of the article, and as and when the protection is removed, you may integrate the same with the contents of the page provided the same conforms to wikipedia's policies, etc. --] (]) 10:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

So for talking with you I will have to learn a bit of German :) --] (]) 10:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
:Heck no :-) I was just joking... Just wanted to thank you for giving the feedback; and thought I'll use German :-) Good to see you around; have been following a few of your comments on various notice boards; very thoughtful. take care man ] 10:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

==Your edits to ]==
Please discuss the edits you make, and while making edits, give a more detailed justification than just "making some changes". ] (]) 11:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

==Your recent edits==

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to ] and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should ] by typing four ]s ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button ] located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!<!-- Template:Tilde --> --] (]) 06:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
::Ooops, sorry! Must've been a slip... I generally add the same. Thanks and regards, ] (]) 06:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

==Responding to what you said about me on DMack's talk page==
I am replicating what I wrote to you on the other talk page in response.

Mrinal, a few points
:1. You don't need to copy-paste whole sections of talk-pages. Providing links to the relevant sections should be enough.
:2. All you have pointed out in my case is one instance of being auto-blocked for the ]. Given how much sock-puppet activity takes place on this page, I am sure others will understand the reason behind that instance. I have not made the same mistake again.
:3. On what basis do you characterize me as generally acerbic? I have tried to have discussions with you even in the past, but to no avail. Any discussions we have had, I have always cited wiki policy. I have at no point been disrespectful. If you feel that my "discussion powers" are questionable, please provide evidence from talk archives that makes you feel so.
:4. Regardless of disagreements, the spirit behind constructive editing is to engage in discussions. I don't think it is appropriate to refuse to discuss something with a willing fellow-editor, especially since the fellow-editor has not indulged in any personal attacks.
:5. I am the one who has been issued death-threats by people wanting to white-wash this page as you can see from my talk page. Those threatening me have even been banned as a result. In spite of those distasteful threats, I have always wanted to engage in discussions. I hope you will agree to do so too. None of us are going away anywhere, and refusing to discuss edits based on past grudges is just not done.

Mrinal, here are the last four discussions we have had that I dug up from the ] talk page. Please point out what exactly it is that makes you doubt my discussion skills? I have been utterly respectful and not acerbic in any way.
:]

: I hope you can back up the accusations or insinuations you have made about me. I have always been in favor of discussing edits. ] (]) 14:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

::: Dear Makrand, thanks for the replies. I appreciate the points you've written. Let's wish our discussions continue in this context and with the sentiment we currently have (which is generally positive). Again, thanks for the replies. They're appreciated. My best regards, ] (]) 15:37, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== RfA Review ==

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I've noticed that you have a completed set of responses to the ] question phase at ], but they don't seem to be included on the list of responses ]. If you've completed your responses, please can you head to ] and add a link to them at the bottom of the list so that they get included in the research. We have a closing date of midnight UTC on '''1st July''', so please add your link before this date. Once again, thank you for taking the time to participate in the ] of ].'''''<font color="green">]</font>''''' <sup><font color="blue">]</font></sup><sub><font color="black">]</font></sub> 15:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
:Sorry Gazimoff, I couldn't find time for finishing the responses. And believe I wouldn't find time till the closing date you've mentioned. My apologies for not being able to send in the responses. Warm regards, ] (]) 05:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

== My conditional consent ==
Though I have agreed to removal of the Controversy section in the ] page, the agreement is conditional based on the majority. If the majority is at least two more than naysayers, then my vote will go there. Sincerely ] (]) 10:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:Dear Carlisle, at the risk of going against my own vote, I suspect there're too many sock puppets trying to put in a vote 'for' me. As much as I might want to accept them as valid, I do have a lingering suspicion that so many 'yes' votes in my favour for deleting the Controversy section... um, they look strange. Having said that, I am pleased to know your point of view. Warm regards, ] (]) 07:49, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

::Will you two please familiarize yourself with wiki policy? "Majority wins" is not how things work on wikipedia. They work on policy and consensus. Especially for deleting properly cited stuff like the controversy section. ] (]) 19:01, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

== The whole HC Snubs UGC thing ==
Could you provide the a third-party reliable source (not an IIPM press-release published on press-release-collection websites) from an Indian newspaper or reputed news portal, that talks about the Delhi High Court saying UGC has no right to stop IIPM, etc etc? ] (]) 19:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
