Hi
Hello, I don't understand this edit? Was it an accident? —Borgardetalk 00:02, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello, that was just a joke. Did I add that? If I didn't, sorry. Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 01:17, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Re:Adminship
Hi! First of all, thanks for your consideration of me for adminship! I appreciate your confidence in me. At the current time, however, I do not feel like I am quite ready to become an admin. I do feel that I have a strong knowledge of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I also feel that I could help improve WIkipedia by becoming one. I was nominated once before, but was unsuccessful. I have been working on gradually improving by addressing many of the issues that were brought up in that RfA. The reason I don't want to accept your nomination at this time is because I had been editing very little for a period before last month, mainly trying to study up on the policies of Wikipedia. I want to get back into it a bit more before I accept a nomination, as I think that will not only show people that I am indeed ready to become an admin, but also help me understand even better the policies of Wikipedia. I will happily accept a nomination at a later date, probably in a month or two, when I am confident that I am ready to do so. Once again, thanks! – Alex43223T 02:09, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi! No problem =) Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:34, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for again offering to nominate me for adminship. The fact of the matter is not that I don't want to be an admin, as I undoubtedly believe that I could help Wikipedia by becoming one, but rather that, based upon the current standards, I don't think an RfA would pass. While I believe that I know Wikipedia policy well and have experience here, I would rather wait a while longer to gain the trust of the community more and show that I understand such policy. If you would like to nominate me at a later date, feel free to do so, but a month after my previous declination is a bit to soon. Thank you for your offering. Cheers. – Alex43223T 22:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Adoption
Gopal, thanks for offering to become my adoptee. It's cool that you found someone else. I was able to spend some time, though, going through some of your edit history, and I agree that you could benefit from a Wiki-mentor. It's also cool that you're obviously committed to making this encyclopedia a better place. Keep up the good work! --Figureskatingfan (talk) 19:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:56, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Adminstratorship
Thank you for considering me for the position of an administrator. However, I do not wish to become one at this time. Also, I do not wish to do so during the next twelve months. -- Wavelength (talk) 22:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Delete Problem
Hey, thanks for the message!

Um.. i edited the Article about Nu-Metal and added a word in it. And i refresh it 3 times the word suddenly disappeared?

Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdemaLeVeL (talk • contribs) 14:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello! Please sign your posts with ~ So I know who you are. According to this, there was no page titled LeVel. Actually, it has been tagged for speedy deletion. Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Tagging
it is usually more productive to add tags only for the major problems in an article, the ones attention should be focused on most urgently. Queens Market is probably unrescuable, but the multitude of tags doesnt help figure out why. DGG (talk) 17:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello! I have added the tags because the article really needs some help. I have removed some tags, because they mean the same thing. and  are some examples. I still stand by some tags, as the article is in bad shape. However, I do not understand what you mean by "unrescuable". I hope that cleared things up!

Tellurometer
Please could you look again at my article on the Tellurometer. I have simplified it a lot to make it easier to understand and, I hope, have addressed most of your other concerns. Are you able to lift the tag on this important article? Dormskirk (talk) 17:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello! I have removed some of the tags to the article, but it still needs some expansion. Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this. Please can you explain a bit how I can improve the tone of the article and also ensure it does not read like a personal essay - I do believe that this was a very important invention.


 * As far as expansion is concerned I have now removed much of the technical information so that it could be more easily understood. Do you think I should re-insert it? Thanks for your help. Dormskirk (talk) 18:30, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You can expand the article by adding reliable sources to articles. According to this, you have not removed technical information. But, I think it can stay. As for the tone, you can read WP:TONE to find out yourself. I hope that cleared things up! Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The jargon I removed included the following statement which on reflection may have been difficult to follow: A wide range of point to point microwave EDMs was produced, including the MRA7, which could measure distance up to 50 km with an accuracy of 15 cm, is still produced in limited numbers today. The product range included a 100km position fixing system, with fixed remote stations and a ship borne master station as well as three optical EDMs, the last of which was able to measure up to 1 km with an accuracy of 0.6 mm. I know what this means but I accept that the reader may not. Anyway I have removed it.


 * As for tone WP:Tone indicates that I should not use jargon and I believe that I have removed all the jargon I can without making the article seem trivial. WP:Tone also indicates the article should not use 'I' or 'you' and I have not. Please advise if their is any more jargon I should remove - I am not clear whether you want me to remove more material or expand it Dormskirk (talk) 19:01, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have expanded the article by adding an extra section on 'Accuracy' which I have tried to keep jargon-free. Please could you take another look? Thanks in anticipation. Dormskirk (talk) 20:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have taken another look and removed the .  Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:55, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Benjamin farmer
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Benjamin farmer, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Benjamin farmer is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Benjamin farmer, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Adminship nomination
Thank you for the offer of nomination, but adminship consists mostly of dealing with messes that should not exist in the first place, were it not for the "non-negociable policies" of our beloved God-king. "Anybody can edit" means you get to fix school IP library computer vandalisms. If you need a metaphor, it a job cleaning up babyshit off the floor because Jimbo has outlawed diapers. And then, there's the culture that has produced this. Which of course is the comments on this this, which finally degenerated to this:  "A concerning RfC" in ANI archive 180. Which needs to be enshrined in WP:LAME. Pure abusive by a power-elite who cannot stand being criticized even mildly, as a group. And you want me to join this club? I have too much self-respect. Let me get back to the work, please, working to improve the quality of articles which will later be scrapped by other sites, and are thus independent of the largely rotten culture of the organization which makes them possible (but does not do the actual work). Meanwhile, the WMF CEO Sue Gardner can continue to vet new board-of-trustees members of the Foudation, which means she picks her own bosses, and thus has no real accountability. Sweet. But you can have it. S B Harris 11:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

B Zhao
B Zhao has appeared on Wikipedia before, and was deleted via the Afd process. See details at Talk:Garry Kasparov and Articles for deletion/B Zhao. I don't know if that affects whether it should be speedily deleted, but I thought I should point it out. Peter Ballard (talk)

A question
help me So I used this and i don't know to get rid of it. Can anybody help me? Gopal81 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 01:58, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm using Firefox 3, so I can't check that this is exactly correct, but it should be based on what instructions are at the link you gave, and how my browser is set up. Click on your "Edit" menu and select "Preferences" (This is "Tools" and "Options..." in Firefox 3, respectively). Go to the "Content" tab and look for the checkbox marked "Load images automatically". Make sure that the box is checked, and then click on the button next to it labeled "Exceptions". There may be multiple buttons called this, make sure you click the right one. You should have another small menu appear that has a small box you can type in, and another larger box that lists some websites. One of these websites should be "upload.wikimedia.org", "*.wikimedia.org", or similar. Click on that, then click on the "Remove Site" button. Click the "Close" button, then "OK" on the main options menu (if it's still there). Now (last step) press Ctrl+Shift+R (Command+Shift+R on a Mac). The page should reload, and you should be able to see images. If not, put up another helpme and we'll try to figure it out. Hope this helps. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 04:03, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
