please stop vandalising
Since you did something that must be regarded as vandalism, I left a comment explaining that on Talk:Lusignan. Please do not continue your vandalisms.62.78.124.63 03:16, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I think you are being a little irrational. If I was wrong in the succesor of such king, then it can be undone easily as I just did. And as stated on Vandalism: Vandalism is indisputably bad-faith addition, deletion, or change to content, made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopedia. I did not act in bad faith, nor I made a deliberate attempt to compromise the encyclopedia. I just undid the changes (which you could have easily done), because to err is human. No need to cry foul nor calling names. drini &#9742; 15:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Your userpage
Your userpage seems to draw quite a bit of vandalism. If you want to have it temporarily protected. Just give me a yell. Mgm|(talk) 17:49, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm more concerned on somebody deleting that image from wikipedia so it won't show in the page revisions. drini &#9742; 18:08, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid locking it would stop you from editing too unless you're an admin. Since I didn't see any use for the image I've deleted it for you. Mgm|(talk) 18:18, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * You may also be interested in hearing, I've blocked User:Paceyourself for vandalism. Mgm|(talk) 18:24, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much drini &#9742; 18:32, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Votes for deletion/Mehran
Drini, there's a city in Iran called Mehran, notable for having been captured by the Iraqi's during their war, so I'm turning this article into that. Cheers. -- BD2412 talk 01:20, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
 * Well, although I wouldn't call it done (what on Wikipedia ever is), it's certainly a legit article now. -- BD2412 talk 01:50, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)

FTMME
Hi Drini, this article has been through the listing period on WP:CP. I cleared the copyvio listing and tag because of Ronald Kyrmse's notes on the talk page. We you intending to re-list it because you disagreed with my clearing of the article, or were you unaware that it has already been reviewed and cleared?

davincigrail ¿hoax?
Dear drini, the link da vinci grail is not a hoax, there is a illusion like that which the website (davincigrail.com) shows and is of great interest to many since the da vinci code. the website has all genuine pictures of the da vinci last supper and are not faked in any way.. i get about 200 unique visitors a day. please consider the link again. you can email me at comment@davincigrail.com thank you. i am sorry if i have put his message in the wrong place.i am new to this. (Added by User:62.6.139.12 (unsigned))
 * Maybe not a hoax, but not notable. First: davincicode is a book of fiction. Second: It's just an optical illusion. Third: if anythign, this should be mentioned in the DaVinci Code page, not on the Last Supper, since, as you point, it's of interest to the readers of the book. And finally, since you're the owner of the site (you give an email from the site for feedback), a case could be made about you trying to spam wikipedia in order to attract visitors. Please don't do that. drini &#9742; 23:38, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

i accept your logic. thank you. prastil

Yamaha YFZ450 page copyright
Hey dude, I didn't steal the YFZ450 page from your site. I wrote the first two paragraphs myself, and the specs came from Yamaha Motors web site. I imagine you have the same numbers on your site as well, but so does every ATV site. I could get the same numbers by going out to the garage and measuring my own YFZ450 if I wanted to. They're public domain info by now. If anybody could complain it would be Yamaha, and they're certainly not going to. Thanks for understanding, ridefst 12.168.67.155 20:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I didn't claim you stole it from my site. I just pointed it was copied verbatim from some other webpage. And just because some info is in some webpage, that doesn't automatically akes it public domain, specially if it's copied exactly word for word. drini &#9742; 17:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok. Well, based on research, and measurement of my own quad, I have rewritten the original page and posted it as Yamaha YFZ450 Temp. I don't really know if that is the proper procedure or not, I've only done a _very_ little bit of anonymous editing before. This is actually kind of a pain in the butt; I was hoping to just bring together some basic info, and let someone else build upon my writings. At any rate, do what you like with the page, make the temp permanent or just delete it, whatever. Ridefst 18:17, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm not an admin, so I didn't delete the original nor can delete the new page. drini &#9742; 18:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

VFD
Just letting you know about Votes for deletion/HYP (universities) 2. If you have an opinion, please vote. I am notifying people who have been active on either side of the debate. &mdash;Lowellian (talk) 23:54, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

Do you ever vote to retain?
Just did a casual scan of the VfD page, and found many votes for Deletion or Speedy Deletion which were signed by you. Have you ever voted otherwise? No offense meant, just curious. Too Old 19:55, 2005 Jun 6 (UTC)


 * I noticed the samething. He wants to delete several entries that meet Wikipedia requirements, and then has people jump into say delete agreeing with him.  You can tell by the short time frame, he is organizing people to his position.

 * I see now ttha tyou're the author of WJOWSA and then disliked your article being tagged Vfd, so when you unilaterally removed the tag I revert it back. I gave you feedback onn my reasons to move the page to Vfd, but also many other people have voted for it to go away, you exposed your reasons on the page, I exposed mine, and people is voting. That's how consensus is achieved, what's wrong with that? I think you're crying foul since people is voting delete. drini &#9742; 16:55, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes I've voted otherwise. No offense taken since no possible offense comes from such a comment. Howver I don't rally people to align to my position, tthe few times I've sent articles to vfd, I've stated my reasons and I have no problem wheen people disagree with me. If you want me to comment on some vote, please tell me so. I don't usually do it on the vfd paages since it's not required andd I don't want to incite comment wars, so I just state my vote. However, these following weeks I have a very limited web access, so don't expect me to answer very soon. 16:43, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * For an example of voting Keep look at Votes_for_deletion/Mehran mentioned a few sections above. drini &#9742; 16:55, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Emplotting
Hi Drini,

Indeed I agree the above-mentioned article is better off undergoing Votes for deletion rather than speedy delete. You can view Votes for deletion/Emplotting to track the page's outcome. :)

Question
I am just wondering, are you the same Drini as the one on PlanetMath? You made me curious. :) Oleg Alexandrov 15:18, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * The one in PlanetMath, :) CryptoDerk got me into the Wikipedia bandwagon, and so far I've liked it a lot, it's more dynamic. drini &#9742; 16:22, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree with you this place is more dynamic (but we also have to worry about vandals and hoaxers :)


 * If you continue being as prolific here as you are over there, we would need to pay you a salary or something. :) Oleg Alexandrov 16:36, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
