Thanks Deepak. I wish the even-handedness and dedication to NPOV of the editors on the Indian Cities Project page, where I believe we met, was shared univerally! --Tomstoner 17:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
"Vandalism"
Be careful throwing the word Vandalism around as you did here; we have a pretty specific definition of it that I don't think applied in this case. (ESkog) 16:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
More precisely I would "borders on vandalism" -- a description I have seen used by others before in describing similar skewing of the page. The discussion page gives a fuller explanation of the reason for the revert. --Tomstoner 17:41, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
ESkog is giving you good advice; you would be well-advised to pay attention. "Vandalism" has a particular meaning on Misplaced Pages and if you accuse others of it when it does not apply the consequences may be serious. I in fact had just been looking at exactly that edit and wondering whether you should be reported for using a bogus edit summary: removing content that you did not agree with and masking it by saying you were "removing vandalism". I'd advise you to read Misplaced Pages:Vandalism and let that be your guide as to when something is "vandalism". -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Jeez Louise, I said the comment was incorrect. This was a proper edit and I explained it in the Naked Shortselling Talk page. Note my response and further comments.--Tomstoner 14:20, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
WP:PAIN
I've looked over the contributions by User:Mfv and found some very mild incivility, but no personal attacks.

OK, well his last comments were toned down, so hopefully we can proceed civilly here. --Tomstoner 16:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
NSS - grandfathering
Hi,
I'm replying to your post on my talk page about the naked short selling article. I admit I have a limited knowledge of securities trading, so my perspective represents that of a casual reader.
I am assuming that the grandfathering text you mentioned is the two-section excerpt from http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/keyregshoissues.htm. This is definitely original research. It is, however, a valid perspective which deserves a link within the NSS article. I hope that answers your question.
As for the rest of the article, I think it has significantly improved since I last looked at it. There is, however, one excessively large quote (section Does Naked Shorting Drive Stock Prices Down?, "There are many...13 consecutive settlement days.") that should be condensed into a link. That would make the article much easier to read.
Good luck, Cdcon 19:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Faridabad
faridabad is not particualrly a tourist town though Suraj kund and Bhadkal lake are nice places to go to for enjoying the local scenery (unsigned)
Thanks much for your comment. By the way I moved your comment from my main user page. I have relatives in Faridabad so I know the town quite well. Incidentally there was an interesting map in the article that I asked about. --Tomstoner 14:01, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
No Worries. I lived in Faridabad for 12 years of my life and saw the city expand gradually. if you need info give me a buzz. Manish Sharma 25 March 2006.
Really? Well perhaps you know something about map. I will drop you a line on your user page. Thanks. --Tomstoner 14:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
