I'm an admin now!!
Thanks for voting on my RFA and helping me become an admin. The final tally was 108-0-1 (putting me on the WP:100 list. I hope to do my best in upholding the integrity of Wikipedia. Thanks again, Gator (talk) 13:19, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Featured user
But one of the prerequisites of becoming trustworthy enought to gain admin tools, is to have been a good (maybe even excellent) contributor. You may have seen on RfA, that users who have definitely proven themself trustworthy to the community (through extensive community participation), do not get admin tools simply because their contribution to the encyclopedia is not enough. Now, regarding the template, since nobody has criticized it for so long, I would prefer to let it remain there, unless I receive some criticism.-- May the Force be with you!

My RFA Withdrawal :(
Hello DaGizza, it is my apologies to bring you that I've withdrawn my RFA. Due to the lack of experience, I would go under admin coaching first before trying again later. I would thank you for your vote in this RFA whether you voted support, oppose or neutral for me. I appreciate your comments (if you do have) you made and I hope to see you here in future. --Ter e nce Ong 15:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Indian cricket team
Hey DaGizza, I see you've done some work on the Indian cricket team page in the past. I've nominated as a possible candidate as Indian Collaboration of the Week and would appreciate your vote to see it pass through and possibly rise to the status of Featured Article. Thanks...

Rama's arrow
''"...Rama turned his bow to the sky and shot the arrow of Vishnu flaming into the darkness with which Parasurama had enveloped them. That shaft of infinite trajectory still flies through the deepest galaxies. Some say the earth will end on the day Rama's arrow returns." (Ramesh Menon, The Ramayana (2003), pp. 59)''

Why I respect Rama so much
As for Shaivism, its a great philosophy but in Hinduism, there are no distinctions. I understand that Shiva is the same as Vishnu, Jehovah and Allah - the ultimate goal.

I asked for a week to think properly about the question you asked, of why I was fascinated with Rama. Thanks, becoz I learnt some new stuff myself. Its easy to describe Rama - good, kind, powerful, just, etc....Yet all these are properties recognized amongst humans, and his basic body is recognized amidst all life. Yet nobody has a clue to the real nature of that Man who stood before and amongst so many men. So near, yet so far....the ever-perplexing and eduring journey for God.

Btw, I fully understand that Rama might have been just a human king who through the course of time was elevated to God-head. I'm not perturbed by such a possibility becoz I don't think anybody knows God completely, and so everything is a stepping stone - and anyways, who are we to identify who/what/... God is or is not? Cheers, Rama&#39;s Arrow 21:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Amateur AFL teams
Hello daGizza. Good work on all those AFL teams. Recently, North Carolina Tigers was put on Articles for deletion/North Carolina Tigers by myself, with the result being to merge the team to its respective league - United States Australian Football League, on the grounds that the performance and competition level is not of first-class standard, although the leagues in themselves are of interest. At the time I wrote a rather large discussion, indicating that the AfD could be a litmus-test or precedent for similar AFL teams and I would like to see what people think about this, as to I (or someone else) should go ahead and merge them, without sending a whole pile to AfD. I have posted this at WP:AWNB and WP:AFL and would appreciate some feedback.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 02:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi DaGizza, Portal India is currently WP:FPCAN. Can you please contribute by voting aye or nay on the page? Thanks AreJay 20:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks!
Hi Girik! Thank you for supporting my RfA. It passed at 105/1/0, putting me in WP:100 - I'm delighted and surprised! I'm always happy to help out, so if you need anything, please drop me a line. Cheers! ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞ 20:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Me and India
Hmm, there may be a few factors, but I'm not sure. It's good to see that my RfA nomination hasn't had any incriminating side-effects. I have archived some of my talk, but some of it is still only 5 weeks old, so I don't feel that it is dead, buried and decayed just yet. You may want to check Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar because I feel that User:Doctorbruno is making selective statistical edits and random micro-analysis of selected events which I feel contravene NPOV. They appear to be suggestive in that Tendulkar > Dravid. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 01:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Flamboyant cricketing style, I like spin bowling much more than fast bowling
 * I haven't identified as such, but I'm supposed to be Buddhist (I don't think that I represent Buddhism though) and a few family have made pilgrimages to Bodh Gaya and Varanasi, which I will do someday
 * Indian friends at HS and now Uni

New format user pages
Hey Girik, Jarrah here. My User page is a bit drab compared to yours, I was wondering how I might get the features you have, like the Babel, and little summary of the things I am on it. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks, Sastrawan 10:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:AFL
Yes, I am an Indian Australian. How'd you work it out though? I considered joining WP:AFL but don't believe I can contribute too much apart from giving information on matches or famous matches.

Thanks
Thanks for the luck. I hope you keep this Fundy Watch thing on.. i'm currently bogged down with studies and blogging, hence havent been able to contribute meaningfully to Wikipedia this month, but i think i'll have more free time in April. As for the nomination, i wanted to nominate you! Too bad somebody beat me to it. Anyways looks as if you are sure to become an admin, lucks mate. अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey 13:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support.

The Sydneian
Hi. To be honest I wouldn't have a clue about the copyright status of the book. I wouldn't think that any part of the book would be allowed to be copied in any way. Paintings, short stories and poems shouldn't really be copied for sure, but I'm guessing that's not the part of the book you're thinking of using. Could you specify what part of which edition you're thinking of using?

I know that if you go to the library you can pick up old versions dating back to last century I think, and based on Australian copyright laws you'd be allowed to you anything before 1955.

Anyway send me a message letting me know what exactly you're thinking of copying - there's not really much you can use that talks about the history though. Cheers, mdmanser 09:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think my sentence was POV, it simply stated that the award is of greater importance to the winner than a lot of other sports, for example football (soccer). Please give a good reason why you deleted it, or I shall revert it. -- Boothman 13:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
