| Hi Bhadaniji - thank you very much for your support and guidance. You are a role model for every Wikipedian. Btw, I noted that you may be upset about certain problems Misplaced Pages is facing. Please don't consider leaving (or becoming inactive) - the problems are not as serious as the growth of the encyclopedia in the right direction. If you like, take a break or so but don't leave! If I can be of assistance for anything, just gimme a buzz. Thanks again, ] 03:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC) | Hi Bhadaniji - thank you very much for your support and guidance.

| :I thank you for your note of encouragement. Niravjee, actually I am not leaving as such - I know as the community grows, new challenges would always surface. This is not a problem as we are the most resilient virtual community, capable of neutralizing any challenges. For last few months, I have remained generally inactive for all practical purpose though I am not completely inactive. I shall surely like to continue and would certainly become more active very soon. I do not find any necessity to take any break as I do not feel stressed any more - Misplaced Pages is rather de-stressing!

The Tocopilla railway was a mountain railway built to serve the sodium nitrate mines in the Toco area of the Antofagasta Region in Chile. With a gauge of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm), it ran from the port of Tocopilla on the Pacific coast up to a height of 4,902 feet (1,494 metres), with gradients up to 1 in 24. The railway was built by a joint-stock company founded in London and was designed by William Stirling of Lima, with a detailed description of the initial operation of the railway published by his brother Robert in 1900. The line was electrified in the mid-1920s and expanded in 1930 with the addition of lines serving new areas of mining. It continued operating into the 21st century, but was forced to close in 2015 when flash flooding caused numerous washouts on the electrified section of the railroad. With the declining prospects for nitrate, it was not economical for the line to be repaired. This photograph taken in 2013 shows a boxcab on the Tocopilla railway, leading a train down towards the coast.Photograph credit: David Gubler

I'd love to spam 159 usertalk pages with soppy thank you notes, but it might be slightly frowned upon or inconvenient to the people I'm thanking. I'd just like y'all to know that I appreciate your support a helluva lot. I mean it - I offer you a glass of ice-cold hard liquor (the dudes who don't drink, I'll buy thee a coke!). Thanks again - if I can be of any assistance, gimme a buzz anytime. Cheers, Rama's arrow 02:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

- Congratulations Nirav, thoroughly well done...although I must say that I am disappointed that you did not get a triple century....gee, I only had 2 portals, 15 DYKs and 1 FL when I passed...what's going on..I must be showboating too much. Oh, and no alcohol please, think Yellow Monkey doesn't need to be inebriated..he's deranged enough as is.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

User:MyChemical and Polaria (Medical Disease)
Could you take a look. Thanks. --BostonMA 03:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. He keeps removing the speedy tag however. The lack of a source is not the only problem, however. The article is truly patent non-sense. "If Polaria remains untreated, you have a 90% chance of dieing due to your gallbladder reputing.", "The term 'Polaria' derives from the person who discoverd the disease, Dr. Monroe Polariaoscpia.", "It's medical term is Expanding Communicable Gallbladder (ECG).". But hey, lets give him some time, as long as he doesn't remove the speedy tag! ;-). --BostonMA 03:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- You gotta give him credit! ;-). --BostonMA 03:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thanks

Because people often complain that RfA thank-you messages are impersonal, I thought I'd give you the opportunity to create your own. -- tariqabjotu 03:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think any messages between us are impersonal. That your arduous journey culminated alongside mine evokes a sense of brotherhood. Congratulations for your devotion to Misplaced Pages despite the controversial previous RfAs you had to bear. Rama's arrow 03:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes... that could not have just been coincidence... -- tariqabjotu 03:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Congrats bhai. There are many wiki-floors for you to mop now.Bakaman Bakatalk 03:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Congrats! Do us proud. :D ~Kylu (u|t) 04:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, congrats once more to both of you. Bakasuprman is right - you both have to work hard! --Bhadani 04:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Congrats!!
Congratulations on getting such overwhelming support. Keep up the good work. I can think up of more FA ideas for you, but take some rest :) --Ragib 04:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes very impressive! But your RfA last time was (45/19/5) on 14 May 2006, the final this time (160/0/0) 17 Nov 2006, I would ask you to with draw you admin to shoot for (700/0/0) in about another six months ;-) Congrats! ▪◦▪=Sirex98= 05:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
