Babri Mosque Please Help
Thank you for making corrections to this article. I wrote the architectural section of the article which I found vandalised. My article had been there for four years withouth change and had stood the test of time. But then somebody keeps removing paragraphs. Please keep an eye on this work. I have restored it to the point 22:43, 26 November 2009 79.77.139.65 which are the last of my three edits. I have also put back a photograph of the Mosque. I do not get involved in the politics of the dispute really I only write on architecture of old monuments both Jewish Hindu and Muslim in India and elsewhere. But as a architect i say again I only intrested in architecture of monuments. I would be very grateful if you can keep an eye on my article and revert to 22:43, 26 November 2009 79.77.139.65 which is the original for comparison. I originally wrote the article (architectural section) in 2006 and it keeps getting vandalised only recently as the Mosque has been in the Indian news. Of Course I welcome and would be very happy if the section was improved by a fellow wikipedian with an interest in architecture of religious monuments.

Removed speedy tag from Karuna Medical College
I removed the speedy tag that you added to Karuna Medical College. csd-a1 does not apply, since the context is clear. You can take it to Articles for deletion if you wish, but articles on university-level institutions are generally kept. -- Eastmain (talk) 12:37, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Prod of Ignacio Santibáñez
I removed your prod,first because I see no reason to prod the article. Second because you stated "useless" as the rational. Useless is not a rational. Unless you can explain what you were thinking, I consider this prod disruptive and borderline incivil. Ridernyc (talk) 08:54, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Altered Speedy Deletion rationale: Buntzel
Hello Adi4094, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged (Buntzel) under a criterion different from the one your provided, which was inappropriate or incorrect. CSD criteria are narrow and specific to protect the encyclopedia, and the process is more effective if the correct deletion rationale is supplied. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again!  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  09:01, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Apologies
Of course that was a useful edit. I refer to my own practice of correcting a page I don't regularly edit as dog-legging. See User:Nishidani. The three of us over there use this kind of violent, sarcastic, ironical language in a friendly way amongst ourselves, in those rare periods where we are not wasting time, as we endeavour trying to get each other permabanned, or denounced to the FBI for terrorism! Regards and best wishes Nishidani (talk) 10:59, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Mark D. Stowers
I noticed that you recently added a tag to Mark D. Stowers, with a rationale of "Unnecessary.There has been no discussion or improvements till date.Should be deleted." That isn't a valid reason for deletion, and so wouldn't get the article deleted.

I agree with you that the article doesn't belong, so I changed the rationale to "Non-notable autobiography; article contains no third-party sources, and none can be found." If you disagree with that, feel free to delete the prod (and the I added), or revert my change. Dori ❦ (Talk ❖ Contribs ❖ Review) ❦ 06:27, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

In regards to: Books of divine wisdom in Chinese language
The category and/or article to which this contribution belongs is indeed an interesting question. In fact, there is likely not an exact answer. It appears that the best location would be a (hypothetical) category of "Ahmadiyya Muslim Literature in China." It does not belong under "Categories: Chinese books of divination," because these are not materials of a divinatory nature; rather, they are more of a prophetic nature. Perhaps [Category:Ahmadiyya Muslim Community] would be best, of existing categories. The following categories also appear to be worth considering: [Category:Islam in China] [Category:Religion in the People's Republic of China]. The relationship between Ahmadiyya and Islam in general appears somewhat problematical to me, and I am no expert in this regard. However, I can say that you are completely correct that it does not belong where it now is. Dcattell (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I have added rollback to your account. Ensure you only use rollback correctly, ie its intended usage of reverting vandalism only. For information on rollback see: New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. Cheers, NJA (t/ c)  11:15, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Shaun Diviney
Hello Adi4094. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Shaun Diviney, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not blatantly vandalism or a hoax. Thank you. Ged UK  10:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for reverting that vandalism to my talk page. Looks like he was pretty persistent, thanks for sticking with it. HistoryStudent113(talk to me) 16:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

edit of IJM
Hi,

I am not sure why you removed my addition of 'some' (line 57) to the entry for IJM.

The referenced article does not appear to support the statement in its original form. Even if it did support the statement it would be innacurate to imply that criticism was represenative of all advocates.

Is not therefore the addition of 'some' warranted

best wishes

User Direktor - House of Bona page

 * What should I do if the vandal keeps changing the information without quoting any sources and seems to be getting away with it for years? How do I go about getting someone to be banned from Wikipedia? Debona.michel (talk) 09:04, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

apparently u and user:DIREKTOR have many disagreements.If he keeps adding unsourced content try posting sources urself.If it is impossible,revert it giving a reason or stay away.Direktor has indeed made some unsourced edits and called u "idiot".Try avoiding comments on his "opinions".He has more exprience than u.Do not even think about blocking and certainly do not blank pages,remember u have been blocked once. regards, --ADI4094 09:38, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Adi, first of all I did not call anyone an "idiot", please submit a diff to support that claim. On the contrary, I am continuously being insulted by User:Debona.michel ("vandal", etc.), and I should have probably reported him for repeated violations of WP:NPA immediately. Secondly, the article in question on the House of Bunić has been deleted, but was then restored by a sock of a the banned User:Ragusino. It should be speedily deleted per WP:SD criteria G4. I did not add any "unsourced information", but merely translated the Italian names (added by the Italian sock), as this is enWiki not itWiki. Yes, that's what User:Debona.michel calls "adding unsourced information".
 * Finally, I'd like to remind you that you are assisting a user that is openly asking you "how do I ban this person?". This would be highly unWiki-like even if it had any basis, but this account has demonstrated no evidence of a breach of policy that would even come close to warranting a community ban. You are dealing with a well-known nationalist POV-pusher trying to have his way by banning the other side of the conversation. Reagrds -- DIREKTOR  ( TALK ) 11:43, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks Adi. First of all Direktor is already trying to influence you by saying he has changed "Italian names"...this is his personal opinion and this where the problem lies. These names are not "Italian" but rather "Ragusan" -- we are talking about the former Republic of Ragusa. which today lies inside Croatia. He is basically saying the English page should have Slavic names because he (and his colleagues - notably Ivan Stambuk) have decided this is how it should be and anyone who gets in their way should be chased away with a barrage of Wikipedia rules.The so-called "Italian names" have been used for centuries in Dubrovnik and continue to be used to this day (phone book + tombstones, etc.). I am a Croatian citizen (I'm not Italian...) and a direct descendant of this family which to this day uses the name Bona rather than Bunic and this is why I am against this unjustified change. I am not aware that "vandal" is an insult. As far as I know it is a term used for people who modify content without giving any justified explanation. We are dealing with hard-line nationalists (maybe my POV again) who are very coordinated in their actions (24/7) and this needs to be stopped. Direktor has a personal grudge agaisnt Ragusino and tries to destroy all of his work. Ragusino may be banned, not following procedure, etc. but he created the pages for the Ragusan aristocratic families which were then completely Slavicized by Direktor - even creating (translating) names that didn't exist on the House of Caboga page according to user Caboga. It makes Wikipedia an unreliable source of information. The sources that are used on the House of Bona (now House of Bunic - thanks to Direktor) use the name BONA. I would (grudgingly) agree if all the names had dual entries but not just Slavic...(just to appease some people). Who is this "nationalist POV-pusher" Direktor is referring to? I just want my family's name not to be modified. If my ancestors were not famous people this would not be an issue. It is really a conflict of names of non-Slavic origin which are forcefully being Slavicized because it makes Croatian (Slavic) history look better to outsdiders. This may be my POV but I know it is shared by many other people. I suggest you keep a close eye on his activities (and whoever is moderating - supervising content) and you will see what I mean by "coordinated actions"...It was Ivan Stambuk who alerted Direktor (on his talk page in Croatian) that the House of Bona page was up again, with "Italian" names posted by a new "patient"...ie, time to give him some medicine. Direktor replied "Savršeno", which means "taken care of/finished".Debona.michel (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Debona.michel (talk) 17:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * LoL... User:Debona.michel, as I keep repeating: I refuse to argue with you. You keep trying to start fights and conflicts when there are none. I won't argue with you on someone else's talkpage, let me just say that you do not understand Croatian - so do not try to translate it. A "pacijent" in this context would mean more like "sicko" or "freak", referring to a banned user that has so far created more than a dozen sockpuppets and has bothered something like 10 users and admins. In addition, my reply "savršeno" means "perfect", plain and simple. It was meant in a sarcastic tone, as in "perfect, now I have to pause my work and waste time reverting this banned vandal" (as in WP:VAN violating WikiVandal, not vandal as an insult). Once more: please stop hounding me, insulting me, and asking people how I might be banned. You will be reported if this continues, I don't like to be slandered on users' talkpages. -- DIREKTOR  ( TALK ) 19:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Oi?
you are supposed to reply to my comments, not discard it...I will talk to my few admin friends and make sure your rollback rights are removed...thanks..don't bother replying now...--210.7.27.192 (talk) 06:41, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Clearing house
Hello. You seem to be making some incorrect disambiguation link edits. For example, you linked "clearing house" from the CrimethInc. article to Practice management software, which has nothing to do with the article. --Klubbit (talk) 19:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project
Hello,

My name is Victor Grigas, and I'm a storyteller at the Wikimedia foundation. We're telling stories of Wikipedia users, editors, donors, programmers and staff to paint a picture of who uses Wikipedia - for the 2011 fundraiser.

I am in the process of planning a trip to India to gather stories from Indian Wikipedians in face-to-face interviews (possibly on video).

My primary goal is to conduct 15-20 interviews, and hopefully enough of my interviews will make compelling stories that will effectively solicit donations from the public. These stories may also be used for other communication purposes by the foundation.

I found your userpage on a list of prolific Wikipedians and thought I’d reach out to you. Prolific editing is always a good story to tell!

If you are interested in participating, please contact me via my email:

vgrigas@wikimedia.org

Thank you for your time!

Victor

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 01:40, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
