Congratulations on the occasion of your 5000th edit

... and for your sound judgment and cool head, which cannot, I daresay, be adequately represented on a counter.BrandonYusufToropov 02:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --a.n.o.n.y.m 02:38, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Congrats indeed! And thanks for the encouraging comments re. my signature-editing. I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't check the Village Pump first, but I'm not yet overly familiar with the internals of wikipedia. (As you can see, my sig is still broken, despite my best efforts.) btw, sorry for mistyping your username in one of my edit comments; it's a pity these things can't be fixed.  —JEREMY 05:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Hoozah! And well done! --Irishpunktom\ 12:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Congrats man... Great work indeed! PassionInfinity 06:21, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Hello

Salaam, Great to know that you embraced Islam by learning it yourself. There are a lot of things that must be told to you but they will go afterwards. Can you tell me what things you find to make sense? I am impressed however and still confused why so scholarly people fail to understand the beauty of it. PassionInfinity 06:20, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Islamofascism

They are trying to reinstate this really offensive article. Can you please take a look? Yuber 16:05, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

e-mail

I didn't get it... probably because my e-mail in my preferences said .com not .edu.... I could have sworn it was correct a while ago. Feel free to try again. gren グレン 17:58, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I got ten copies this time :D I sent a reply to see if I can reach you. gren グレン 19:55, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Help

If you get the chance to take a look at the article on Islamofascism-- resurrected by some reactionary trolls through a parliamentary trick of some kind, I'd appreciate it.

Option A is for the article to be deleted or merged, but I'm not sure how to do that at this stage. Option B is for the page to reflect a very brief summary of the usage of the word, as opposed to, say, photographs of Nazis and Muslims palling around during WWII, which is what some people favor. BrandonYusufToropov 21:34, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes I know, I have seen the edit warring. However not unusual for that particular group of editors.--a.n.o.n.y.m 21:51, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Please vote to merge and redirect Islamofascism to Neofascism and religion... ... which is where it belongs. Vote here: BrandonYusufToropov 14:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Voted. --a.n.o.n.y.m 04:27, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Help needed in combating vandalism

Good day,

I am an editor of the Emma Watson page, and we are having some big problems. The page is literally vandalized almost daily, and it is beginning to become a big problem. I took the iniative to post a warning to potentional vandals warning them that they could be banned if they did vandalize the page, but it did not seem to work, and it was removed because some felt it wasn't fair to single this page out as something that could ban users. I am at my wit's end with this, and we could really use your guidance about this issue. Thank you for your time, and congratulations on your 5000th edit! --D-Day 15:53, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Replied at your talk page. Thanks. --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:23, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Kashmir

Hello Anon. Ahm... the article mentions Indian claims but does not mention Pakistani claims. Pakistan does claim Indian Kashmir besides the region already under its control as a part of its territory; thts basically the entire Kashmir excluding Aksai Chin and Trans-Karakoram Range. Thanks --Deepak|वार्ता 20:49, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for your support in the past few days! You are right to trust the nominator, Dmcdevit is one of the most intelligent and trustworthy editors in WP. If this process is succesful, I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to improve and protect the Misplaced Pages. I truly believe that it will be (and already is) one of the most referenced information sites on the internet. And if sucessful I will be asking trusted admins such as Dmc for their advice and direction. Thanks again for your support. Hamster Sandwich 03:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I have looked at it but have no opinion right now. I am pretty neutral with it. It does sound a bit offensive though. I will think more about this still a lot of time left. Thanks. --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out.

I can be rather forgetfull. While I am here, I have been meaning to give you this for your conduct at your rfa and elswhere (no, I am not giving you a personal attack:-)). Sorry it is so late. Cheers Banes 20:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Anonymous editor,

Just thanks

Thanks!! Slrubenstein | Talk 20:34, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

However, if you have time to explain to me why you prefer this particular translation, and what you think are the weaknesses of the ones I mentioned, I would be very appreciateive (consider it a teaching moment). Slrubenstein | Talk 20:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for voting to support my RfA. I wasn't expecting an unopposed promotion (I thought I'd hit some die-hard edit-counters at least) and I'm touched by the trust shown in me. I'll try my best to continue to earn that trust. But first, I'll have to work on not sounding like a politician; that last sentence was awful. Oh well. Let me know when I screw something up with the shiny new buttons. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 06:01, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi AE, thank you very much for your note, which I appreciate very much. Don't worry, you'll have to put up with me for a bit longer. ;-) Messages of support like yours make all the difference. SlimVirgin 13:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

He hasn't vandalised anything since the fourth warning, until then he won't be blocked. Quick question: I've asked this before (to non-admins and admins) , but are you an administrator? For some reason I've seen an RfA with your name on it. Happy editing! - Johann Wolfgang 19:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Maybe someone should nominate you, you have over 5000 edits, and I see you just about everywhere. And thank you for the congratulations. (Everyone thought my RfA was going to fail, so nobody has really congratulated me :( ) Have a nice day! - Johann Wolfgang 20:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I'll see what I can do. - Johann Wolfgang 20:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, He's been blocked indefinitely now. See here

Thanks. See you around!

Mindmatrix scam adminship

As fellow residents of this land, I feel it is my duty to employ my newly-granted priviliges to ensure that this politically unstable land may one day achieve a level of stability and functional governance that we all desire. To that end, please use the attached funds with the strictest confidence to accomplish this goal. (Yes, you're right, functional governance and Canadian politics is an oxymoron.) Thank you for your support. Mindmatrix 21:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Iblis, devil#islam

hey, i edited the iblis article the other day, saw that you edited it as well and also likely know a lot more about islam than me.

the edit you made seems to contradict another wikipedia article.... thought i'd bring this to your attention as you may want to set the record straight in one or the other.

Thanks for the alert, I will check it out. --a.n.o.n.y.m 20:33, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

BDAbramson's RFA

Although my RfA is not over yet, I figured that since so many people voted before it had been posted, I may as well start thanking people before it wraps up. Thank you for your support, Anonymous (whoever you really are) - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality rise to the level of the dream. BDAbramson T 04:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Regarding Pakistan history section

The edited version explains things clearly. Such as the difference between the Sassanians and Safavids which is substantial as well as Hindu Rajas and the predominance of buddhism in the region. These all correspond to the History of Pakistan article as well as the other version makes no sense and the Kushans Tocharian sentence doesn't even read correctly. The Kushans are a type of Tocharians and it doesn't hurt to link them as such. Whatever your beef regarding the editing, discuss first as I don't think the other version makes as much sense. Tombseye 22:49, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh so you were the anon IP inserting information. Well my only beef was that much of it was redundant and repeated things about Buddhism which was simply adding to large size of the paragraph, which you were already arguing was too long. Also I changed the dates into a form that was the same in the entire paragraph. Otherwise I am okay with the paragraph. But please log in next time. Thanks. --a.n.o.n.y.m 04:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

My failed RFA :)

Dear Anonymous editor,

Examples section

My only concern is the examples section which I don't think is necessary. Events like that are already mentioned on several wikipedia articles about terrorism.

Well, it seems that historically, most military jihads have been wars, not terrorist campaigns. But I will continue on Talk:Jihad. -- Beland 11:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks. --a.n.o.n.y.m 19:32, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

My RFA

Hi Anonymous,

Woops!

Sorry about that! I didn't think it was you, either... Palmiro | Talk 15:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

See, you knew when you took your (admittedly cool) name ...

... that you would from time to time be held accountable for every bit of mischief perpetrated by actual anonymous editors, right? :)

By the same token, you're also responsible for every good anonymous edit on WP, eh? BYT 15:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Islamofascism move

I'm not sure what should be done here - the two sides seem pretty evenly split. Maybe a wider RfC would be in order. Jayjg 18:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

A consensus has not been reached. So no move. An rfc might work later but we will have to wait until this vote is closed. --a.n.o.n.y.m 19:21, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

The problem with your statement is that the article was originally at Islamofascism, and was apparently moved to Islamofascism (term) without consensus, and the title itself does not follow Misplaced Pages convention. Jayjg 18:43, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay I see. However other terms also have (term) beside them. --a.n.o.n.y.m 19:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Which ones? Jayjg 22:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

An example - American_terrorism_(term) --a.n.o.n.y.m 22:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hardly a good example, since BrandonYusufToropov only moved the article to that name on December 2, in order to support the use of the title Islamofascism (term). Do you have a real example? Jayjg 21:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

An example is an example. If I show you another one you might say the same thing. --a.n.o.n.y.m 22:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Interesting possibility, but the University of Houston is a big place, and the technical details do not match. Jayjg 22:09, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Like I said, it's possible, but you've been wrong about these things in the past. Jayjg 22:15, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
