Vandal Hamsacharya dan

Dear WP Sysop AmiDaniel,

Dan Kogan, an ordained teacher of the Hamsa Yoga Sangh cult has been creating havoc for the past weeks by relentlessly inserting the name of his guru, his guru's book, quotes from his guru's book, and external link to their website on the following articles Kriya yoga, Mahavatar Babaji, Nath, and Adi Nath when the majority of the editors (actually all of them) who are experts on the subject agree that his guru is illegitimate, his inserts does not enrich (add anything substantial) the already existing articles, and only aims to promore the personal interest of their organization.

This person wants to turn WP into a propaganda material for a highly questionable (possibly harmful) pseudo-Hindu cult while pretending to be an impartial concerned Wikipedian who only wants to enrich it. The situation is really bad. He has just been banned but as soon as he gets unbanned he begins to relentlessly vandalize the pages with irrelevant and immaterial cult propaganda once again.

It is futile to try and protect the integrity of an article when someone like this person Hamsacharya dan, like the Energizer Bunny, keeps on reverting them and gets away with it without being taught a lesson.

To see for yourself that Hamsacharya dan is really an ordained teacher of the cult he keeps on inserting to the articles and not just a concerned Wikipedian with no alterior motive, please see the following website and scroll down a bit for Hamsacharya Dan Kogan.

Please help us. Will you help us?

Thanking you in advance,

Happy hunting...have fun! Kukini

Origin of water on the earth

Hi there, it seems we are both translating the same article. I've put up a little more - do you agree with the translation generally? I'm sorry I didn't put up any indication I was working on it, as I knew it might take a while what with my current workload; I think we may have to make a decision as to who translates what to avoid confusion! Your call! Cheers, Mark Lewis 12:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Germany portal and noticeboard

I just noticed your nice translation of Sinzig. If you translate more Germany-related articles (not stubs), it would be great if you could list them in the right section on the portal page. (Sinzig, alas, is a bit old already and would only be there for a day and a half, so I won't list it now). Also, I would like to invite you to the German-speaking noticeboard, another good place to talk about and list translation requests. Hope to see you there, and happy editing!

Academic dress of Durham University

User:Veledan has sugested that I tag Academic dress of Durham University as WP:CSD A9. My intention is to have Academic dress of Durham University as the main article and Academic dress of the University of Durham as a redirect pointing to that page. To do this I first need to remove Academic dress of Durham University so that I can then move the article there. The motivation is for consistancny of names of universities, so that they reflect the names actually used by the university and also it is consitant with the name of the main article about the university Durham University. I can only do this if there is consensus, so unless you object I'll proceed with that action. --Salix alba (talk) 00:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Please stop tormenting me

Please stop torturing me!!! How would you feel if everywhere you looked you were forced to see this being staring back at you with that quizzical look on its deranged little face File:AAAAA.gif? Please go to my userpage or my talk page to read the hideous and tragic story of my existence. I think you will come to sympathize with my plight and will not be so quick to judge me. RotundityTheory

A tragic tale, but you nonetheless need to stop vandalizing or you will be blocked. AmiDaniel (Talk) 05:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

WWII

Thanks for your message. It seems to me that not to say the Versailles Treaty was unfair is the actual 'vandalism'. That has been accepted by just about every politician and every historian since 1919. If it had not been unfair how do you explain its unpopularity and the rise of Hitler? 213.122.118.148 09:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

• I have removed my vandalism warning from your talk page. This edit was not vandalism but a content dispute. I apologize. AmiDaniel (Talk) 09:22, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. 213.122.118.148 09:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

DDT (band)

Hi AmiDaniel. You just treated by edit in the 'DDT (band)' article as vandalism but it is not. According to the book "DDT Empire" ("Империя ДДТ") by Nikolai Kharitonov (Николай Харитонов), the "Vremya" albom was recorded not in Sverdlovsk, but in Moscow, in a studio in the district of Serp i Molot. Also a number of web search requests return the place of recording as Moscow. User:62.118.80.132

Sorry, will remove warning immediately. AmiDaniel (Talk) 09:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

about the firkraag

It's me Nick, about the article firkraag, i actually wrote a few sentences before just for a quick, but now there is a lot more and i wrote why its a significant article, check it out now.

As you've asserted the significance of the topic, I've removed my speedy delete nomination. The article still needs serious improvement, but I do believe the topic warrants an article on Misplaced Pages. AmiDaniel (Talk) 09:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Time Assasins

I wrote the Time Assasins article but, due to the incorrect spelling I deleted it and began a new one spelt correctly. I do not belive this to be vandalsim. --Science Lord 11:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I will remove this warning from your talk page and restore your request for speedy deletion. AmiDaniel (Talk) 11:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
