Priyanka Chopra

Hello, Bhadani, there has been a small problem over at Priyanka Chopra`s page: if you click her picture in the box (this one:), scroll down a bit and look out for the history of that picture, you notice, that two users (Prettywoman) who possibly the same person have been messing around with the picture. I tried to talk to them but to no avail - the user keeps adding the same copyright violating picture. Could you have a look? --Plumcouch 01:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

People would always mess around with pretty women! Ultimately, this will be over and a "lasting relationship" shall emerge. --Bhadani 22:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I need help with a personal attack against me

User:SqueakBox doesn't like me. He has insulted me in the past and, recently, he was blocked for posting the following insult in his user page: "My greatest achievements here have been and restoring José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero from the POV of another user who claims to write about saints." (See the entry for August 21 in his block log) My nick, Hagiographer means just that, "to write about saints", so it's clear that comment is a direct attack against me. Furthermore, when I came to the article about Zapatero SqueakBox had already been banned from editing Zapatero's editing articles by the Arbitraton Committee (what can he restore?). And, in fact, I've never contributed or deleted information from any of those articles. I simply reverted some vandalism SqueakBox introduced as part of his harassment campaing against other user who was also banned by the same Arbitration Comittee decision. So, that paragraph is pure slander.

Taking WP:NPA into account, I believe that paragraph should be deleted or, at least, marked like what it is, a personal attack. I did just that . However, SqueakBox removed it and User:Guettarda protected the page here. SqueakBox has had a lot of problems with other users and, sometimes, Guettarda has taken part in them. For example, in User:SqueakBox can be found a barnstar given by User:Guettarda in which he says that SqueakBox has gone beyond the call of duty in his fight against "strange" people in the article Javier Solana. WP:NPA states clearly that comments must be about content not users so it's clear that Guettarda and SqueakBox have cooperated in, at least, dubious actions against other users. It's also clear Guettarda is biased in favor of SqueakBox. In this edit in my talk page, he implies that I like looking for conflict, that I'm obsessed with SqueakBox that I've to settle down and so on, all violation of WP:AGF and unpleasant remarks.

It mustn't be forgotten that according to WP:OWN, user pages belong to everybody and I don't believe a wikipedian has any right to transform his user page in a platform to attack other users. So Guettarda's supposed protection of SqueakBox's user page (really of SqueakBox's insults) is very difficult to defend in my opinion.

I'm simply asking fair treatment. I don't believe I have to see how the Misplaced Pages is populated with insults against me. I believe SqueakBox can contribute useful edits without transforming his user page into a gallery of attacks. So please, either unprotect the page so WP:OWN can be applied, or remove the negative comment or mark it as a personal attack untolerable in the Misplaced Pages or, at least, explain to me why I have to bear that kind of treatment. SqueakBox has been blocked for that unpleasant remark, What is the use of blocking him and then keeping the insult? Thank you. Hagiographer 08:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Please do not feel helpless. --Bhadani 17:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Help with Limerence

Noting your post on Limerence article talk page, I have to ask why you thought it needed...more? Just looking at the article...I really believe we have a shocker of self-promotional garbage here. Everyone seems content with leaving the noncompliant markup up the top of the page and yakking about it in the talk page. Shrugs. What do you think? Australian Matt 14:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

. Oh, I intended to have something more professional contents, and not the "self-promotional garbage" indicated by you. In case, we are able to remove the "garbage" from wikipedia, we shall be adding value to the contents, provoded we remove the real garbage. Cheers!

Re: Thanks

You're always welcome, Bhadani! That's great that you'll be sticking around here, Misplaced Pages is better for it. :) -- Natalya 03:13, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, what Natalya said. :) I removed the __NOTOC__ (no table of contents) you accidentally pasted onto your talk page, so the formatting should be back to normal now. Regards, Sango123 21:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you ... Good morning. --Bhadani 22:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Re Anonymous editor

Hi Bhadani,

I saw your comments on the talk page of AE. Do you have any idea: ...

No, I didn't when I left my note, but I see you've been asking after him for a while; I appreciate your concern. I guess you've tried sending him an email... Do you know of (or perhaps there might be indications that) another user has met or knows him personally...?  (I guess you've pursued this also...)  At present, I can't think what else might be done... perhaps some clue on another wiki (the Commons?) or from an internet search linking "Anonymous editor" and "wiki*"...?  I'll let you know if another possibility occurs to me. Hopefully, David Kernow 15:32, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the birthday wishes :) Viridae 00:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Bhadani for the comments.

Trollish behaviour

RE:

Why, because TheOuthouseMouse is just stirring shit over at Talk:Global warming. People with no intention to contribute encylopedic content are harmful, and drive away valuable contributors. I've seen it happen on several occasions. While we need to keep the encyclopedia as open as possible, this place shouldn't be allowed to become a sewer filled with rubbish. I don't care if you block me - trolling is about intent as much as anything - I stand by my comments. 125.237.74.41 01:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I do not doubt the spirit of your assertions, and frankly, we face such problems, and I do agree with you that "People with no intention to contribute encylopedic content are harmful, and drive away valuable contributors". Having said this, I would suggest that you may add value to wikipedia by creating an account, and calling a user a troll, and removing the content from their is not encyclopedic at all. You are perhaps creating more disruption here by not using appropraite language, and by being angry is not going to help you. As desired by you, I would have blocked you. However, I think that by a little change in your usage of language, you have potentials to become a civil person capable of being part of a virtual community. Still, if you feel that you require a block, please let me know. --Bhadani 01:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your kind words. It's great to see that some people over here are so well intentioned. Thanks. Hagiographer 06:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Hello Bhadaniji, thank you for the encouraging words... Seeing you after a long time. The Indian presence seems to have reduced in the past few days. Many old timers are rarely seen. But Samir, Aksi, Dwaipayanc, Ambuj etc are still quite active. How is everything with you? -- Lost 14:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I was feeling traumatic. --Bhadani 14:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes that was a disturbing experience for me too. I dont know if you follow the discussions on WP:RFA, but his adminship still comes up in discussions. Recently a nomination passed with much lower support percentage. His rfa was mentioned twice in that context. -- Lost 15:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Bhadaniji, I tried searching for diffs but it is a very long page. But the easier way to do it is, just go to WT:RFA and search for his name using the find function. You will find it twice and you can go through the appropriate comments. Hope this helps -- Lost 03:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Bhadaniji, did you see this? btw, you have to ask the next question on WP:PINQ. --Gurubrahma 10:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello

Hello Bhadaniji. I wish I could get up early. I'm on the other side of the world right now, and it's hard to get up before 8. You get up quite early, though! Here's a mantra on the morning. I know it by heart for a decade, but am yet to find out the exact meaning!

Thanks

For helping a brother out on the CfD. Contrary to what Zora says, I don't find the need to "communalize" wikipedia, I merely want Hindus represented on wiki, as we are 1/6 of the world. Also I created the Muslim cat, not for "perpetrating massacre" but to make a precedent that would strike down all religions, before singling out "Hindu" cats. I now know I should have started with Sikh or Jewish so that it would have been less "controversial" and more "secular", because a Hindu user creating both Hindu and Muslim cats is "communalizing Misplaced Pages". I dont really want to talk to Zora anymore, (she called me some nice names on another AfD), so please consider this a "factual response" to the "hate attack" on Bakaman.

Need help

Dear Bhadani, can you please check the new article I've made: Chaunk? Badagnani 02:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm so glad you remembered about AIR! The question is, are they not able to find anything or are they not *interested* in helping you to find something. Oh, well, I am much obliged and happy to help you if you ever need some similar information from the U.S. Is it true that chaunk is pronounced "chawnce" or is this just in the Bengali language? Badagnani 02:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Protected

Sorry Bhadaniji, there was a bit of vandalism and I protected your user page and sprotected your talk page. Hope its okay. Take care -- Samir धर्म 13:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

A true wikipedian. --Bhadani 15:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

However, I do believe that when the entire wikipedia is open to be freely edited, I do not mind some vandals visiting my user and talk pages to record their remarks. Such foolish remarks like Bhadani is a pimp and so on is not going to deter me from my mission. I request you to please unprotect both the pages: let 100s of vandals should come, they would find that they shall fail to kill my motivation to be around wikipedia. Let 100 flowers bloom!

User Name

Hi there,

Thanx for yor message, but how come my name's not conforming to policy. Please sir, can yo elaborate ?

--Arya Rajya Maharashtra 13:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

My response. --Bhadani 14:09, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear Bhadaniji,

Thank you, very much for your concern. Actually, my first name is Arya. And I wanted to put the name of my state in my username. I did toy with the idea of "Arya, Maharashtra Rajya" and "Arya, Maharashtra" but I thought "Arya Rajya Maharashtra" is more rhythmic. I am extremely proud to be a Maharashtrian. I am actually a Maratha and I did thought about putting that in the username as well, but again I thought that would unnecessarily brand me a casteist. So, I thought of the current username. Anyways, the username I used is also "Arya" (Sanskrit word meaning "Noble") as opposed to "Aryan" (Anglicized word). So, ideally there should not be any confusion. Of course, if people find it offensive, is there any way to change my username ? And if they mistakenly block me, will I get unblocked again ? As of now, I guess this current one will do. Thanks, again. Do reply me, sir.

a little over zealous

It wasn't vandalism - Misplaced Pages says be bold - I am a new user and meant to press sandbox Misplaced Pages says give new users a chance dude - so thank you but unecessary if you waited four seconds i changed it and went back to sandbox. Undestand that even though it is a polemic issue does not give you a right to issue a final warning vandalism note. Thanks!(Smiles and kisses)203.206.26.160 00:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Eloise

Copied from that IP's page: I understand your concern: . I was not over zealous, but acting in response to an edit by you. Yes, wikipedia says Be Bold, but it also says do not be reckless. Moreover, it also says follow no rule which I was obliged to follow as your edit looked like vandalism, as you had changed the page name. Your knowledge of processes and procedures of wikipedia indicate that you are not very new to wikipedia: please register a user name if you do not have any, unless you want to land yourself in difficulties as you just faced. The warning shall continue to warn any other users who may be editing from this IP address anonymously. Cheers. (Smiles and kisses) and hugs too. --Bhadani 01:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
