 * Hey there! Sorry that I took so long to come back to you, but here I am :D I was just wondering, did you have anything in mind? I.e. organization, colour scheme, etc. _-M     o     P-_  18:11, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hmm... sadly, I'm addicted to Show/hide, so I'm pretty much making all the pages I renovate the same (:(). However, I can still make a variety of different styles; anyway, for pages I've renovated, try User:Kalathalan, User:Tawker, started on User:EWS23/sandbox. And how about a green/blue/teal scheme? Of course, it can all be changed later. _-M   o   P-_  12:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

May the Force be with you.
Dear ,
 * Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M   o   P-_  21:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Portal:India/Selected article removal candidates
Hi! The template for Portal:India/Selected article removal candidates was not made, and I tried to make it. However, the result Template:Pisarc is not ok. It is not functioning perfectly as can be seen in the talk pages where this has been put, for example, Talk:Raja Ravi Varma and Talk:Cheese. See that the template shows the name of the article once again at the end! I have already contacted in this regard. You can also help to resolve this technical matter.

Many articles in Portal:India/Selected articles deserve to be delisted as they are either not india related or do not meet the criteria. I cannot but say that it seems from the list as if many articles were chosen by the whims of the editor rather than going through the prescribed procedure. Please see. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:51, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! You being an administrator, can take up the job to simply deleting those articles from the India SA list. However, as you are busy with exams, I have also contacted . Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Indian Cricket Graph
Sorry for the delay in replying. I'd love to contribute an image or two to a potential featured article, but unfortuantely my university semester is getting closer and closer to exam time. As you might notice my editing has pretty much dropped to zero recently. I'll see what I can do, but I can't promise any images any time soon.

Sorry I can't be more definate. Raven4x4x 09:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

India map
Hi, DaGizza, thanks for your vote on the blank-India-map. I could have really jazzed the image up using different colours. Unfortunately though, the colours are recommended by the Maps wikiproject. (see the nomination text), else I could bring it up to the level of my other FP: image:Goamap.png. Regards, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  10:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Curious about music
Hi, I was reading your very interesting userpage and noticed that you stopped to listen to "music." Firstly, out of curiousity, are you referring to "Western music" and secondly why did you stop? Thank you GizzaChat  © 08:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure what "Western music" would be. Nevertheless, you're not the only one to have this question. See my 25-April response to David Kernow. joturn e r 23:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Da Gizza,

Please check the image on the page Vaiko, the image that i embedded is very big, how do i make it smaller

thanks
Hi DG - all the best for your exams! I'm not concerned about WP:100 or oppose votes, becoz I'm absolutely overjoyed and grateful for the enthusiastic support I've received from so many. Rama&#39;s Arrow 14:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

hi.wiki
hello. please read your talk in hi.wikipedia. thank you Szoltys  

Heavily concerned
I have a query and a question!

I dont believe any of the cleanup work done to the North Queensland Cowboys page has been beneficial. I even think it has been an attack on an article because other people dont follow or have the same views. This is against wiki policy. You are not allowed to do this.

Why bother putting the article on the cleanup site if you cant clean it up. I have not seen one little bit of positive work done on this article from day one through the clean up policy. If you want to help work on the page then do so but dont go removing endless information if you arent going to edit the page properly. Work with the page, wikify the page but dont just remove information to make the page fit to article size. Very dissapointed in the way the article has been handled.

Question: How can one person have an article added to the cleanup page when their very own page is in need of cleanup itself? I have had a long run in with a person named dan who continually attacks my page because he feels the article has no sources. My page has an enourmous amount of source and is more than informative. I looked at the Brisbane Broncos article which is edited by dan and his sourcing is woeful and his history section is POOR to say the least. You cant go around shooting other peoples work down if you arent looking at yourself first.

May this war end quickly and peacefully. I and many other rugby league article editors are starting to get a little tired of people like dan personally attacking other pages and I and many others support me on this. Let this be resolved quickly before it becomes one big mess.

thanks


Hi Gizza - I'm very sorry to have disappointed your expectation in me, but it had become impossible for me to compromise my principles. I don't covet adminship at all, so it wasn't a difficult decision. However, I cannot tell you how greatly joyous I feel at the enthusiastic, wonderful support you expressed for me. I don't know how hard it will be to understand that your supports means extremely a lot to me. I thank you from my heart, and please let me know if I can ever be assistance or help in anything.

Nq Cowboys
Mate, Just went onto the computer and saw that the North Queensland Cowboys had their team of the decade removed and the team badge logo timeline removed also. In the discussion area the team of the decade was up for discussion yet dan removed it anyway. Also Dan never at any stage asked in the discussion section if it would be okay to remove the logo timeline. I am rather discusted in his actions as he is simply just editing the page to what he likes instead of giving the article its required cleanup. I am yet to be fully satisfied that the cleanup actions that have been undertaken are of any good. I was very pleased with the history section edits and the record and stats but no how they removed the team of the decade or even the grand final team. My anger boils up when I see people just edit willy nilly and go overboard. There was no need to remove the team of the decade. And what was wrong with the logo timeline? Can you please address this? I am very pleased however as I said with the other edits dan has done.

Sukh's RFA - Thanks!
Thank you for your vote on my RfA. Unfortunately there was no consensus reached at 43 support, 18 oppose and 8 neutral. I've just found out that there is a feature in "my preferences" that forces me to use edit summaries. I've now got it enabled :) Thanks again. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 15:44, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Bollywood Channel
Perhaps you got the wrong impression, it wasn't like a movie channel. SBS gives a movie every week, but for April they showed only Bollywood movies and accompanied it with some more Bollywood-related stuff. But for the Comm Games some cinemas gave only Bollywood films for entire days. In April, everyone's awareness of Bollywood increased tenfold (at least in Victoria).

What about my adminship?
Hi, we definitely need many, many policies and changes at Hindi wikipedia. Thats why I wanted to become an admin. But I don't know the results of the last election, wherein I stood for adminship as a candidate. What happened to my claim/request? Cygnus_hansa 04:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hindu motivation
I don't really know what to do about that. It's spring time, so most people are out having fun especially fellow students. Even the Indian projects seem kind of dead. I tried get come collaboration going with Naming conventions (Indic) but now it seems the Naming conventions (Dharmic) seems better off by itself. It couldn't hurt to make a Hindu award but I don't really think it will really motivate that many people. I'm kind of stumped about the motivation. Maybe find out who are the core people who are still active and edit one article at a time. We especially need references for many articles.--Dangerous-Boy 22:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * by the way, can you archive the template on WikiProject Hindu mythology like you did on WikiProject Hinduism. That was rather helpful.--Dangerous-Boy 22:23, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

New Partizana Stadium
Why did you remove the deletion notice for New Partizana Stadium? Not only is that information in the article false and have no sources, but there is already an article on that, with the EXACT same kind of information. (Only with the correct information, and with a source: Partizan Stadium). There is really no point of having 2 articles about the same kind of information. I'm looking forward to your reply. Regards,  Krytan   talk  03:13, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for the reply. The stadium does exist, but there was just another article containing the reconstruction of it, with false information.  Thank you for deleting the article, --[[Image:Flag of Serbia.svg|20px]]  Krytan   talk  04:19, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Sikh cricketers
Hello DaGizza. Would you mind taking a look at Harbhajan Singh for instance. I get the impression that User:Haphar feels that I am rolling him (see WT:CRIC and WT:INWNB) and/or doesn't like Sikhs and/or Indians, so you might want to explain why religion cats aren't used for sportspeople.
