P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)


 * Thanks, and keep up the excellent work yourself; it was after this revert popped up on my watchlist that I dropped by with a welcome. ;) And for a reference on vandalism warnings, you might find helpful. Regards,  Sango  123  02:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I've just started using Wikipedia and do so infrequently enough to be unsure as to whether I should have left this response here or back on my talk page. :) --Dajagr 20:12, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hehe, works either way. --Pifactorial 20:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

You did the exact same thing. The article it links to is titled "Palestine" and the article you link to states that it is recognised at such by over 99 nations. My reverts do not violete NPOV. If mine do, then yours certainly do.

Userpage vandalism
I have a zero pain threshold for userpage vandalism so the block I aplied was my pleasure. I also delted the image he had uploaded as well, so hopefully, that won't reappear.--MONGO 10:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi Pifactorial, was surprised to see your warning on my user page. The things I said about that war were not really that off the mark. And look how it is now. It says due to Paki military victories they have captured a chunk of Kashmir. How does that fit into the result? India overwhelmed and in FACT defeated Paki forces and drove them back and could have gone all the way, but a ceasefire was agreed to. Anyway, atleast you were decent enough in your message. Though vandalism is a pretty stupid serious word. It should be replaced with dont play around with or dont write things without citing sources or something. As for the terrorist stuff etc. Pakistan does support the Kashmiri terrorists and call them freedom fighters who kill innocent civilians daily in Kashmir. I could go on about how it is involved heavily in the whole life cycle of terrorist activities all around the world and especially in the Indian subcontinent, and nuclear proliferation and being the ONLY reason why Iran has the technology to build a nuclear bomb... But anyway.

That was the first time I accessed my user page as I was a newbie and I wrote a line replying to it and edited your warning or whatever. Your warning was the first thing on my user page and I didnt know anything about any user page let alone any warning or editing system. I had read something about be ready to mercilessly edit the articles on wiki and thought that was what it was with everyone pitching in their POV.

Next thing I know this Khukri guy is trying to act all smart when he is really coming across as a power mad loser on others user pages and it did piss me off just a little, around 0.001%, hehe. He needs to be seriously brought down to ground in his tone and a lot more educated in understanding the differences between patriotism and racism. India is one of the most diverse and secular nations in the world!!!

Anyway, I think you being an admin should understand the surprise of a newbie who has encountered an obsessive Khukri guy. Now a Merc-C has creeped in too!!!

I think I will keep your warning as it was atleast more decent than the Khukri guy and I think you should impart your decency and good judgement to those guys too. And beyond that I will clean up the rest of the mess as its 100% unrequired garbage and post a line "No man, no war. PEACE.". I hope you can educate those guys not to vandalize my page again!!!

And lastly I think users should have more if not all control of their user page, after all its their user page, without a few power mad admins (not you) warr(n)ingly encroaching upon it like Pakistan did in Kargil. hehe.

I dont expect a reply but it would be good if you could clean up my user page, leaving only the first warning, and with my next line of -No man, no war. PEACE.- and leave your signature so that those other unwanted guys dont post there again. Or I'll do that and you clean up the other mess by just reverting to this page and leave your signature. Peace.

Bye.

 * Please read my talk and the comments on his user page (look in history) as he keeps reverting out any warnings. Started out I gave him a warning for removing your warning from his user page. I've been quite reasonable, check my comments to his, now he's into personal attacks. All of his original vandalism/edits were POV and and extremly inflammatory. Leave me a message for your opinion, as I will revert his talk in 24 hours. I like his first line though that he was surprised to get a warning, when he likens Pakistanis to dogs etc. Cheers muchly.

 * Whaddya reckon? all our comments have been deleted plus a warning from HumbleGod as well. I think one last chance with a then if any probs after that a small block just to show we're serious? Cheers Khukri  ( talk  .  contribs ) 14:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Indeed, fair enough. --π! 16:43, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

reason for the rv?
Hi, you reverted two edits of mine today. Was there any reason for this? I fail to see anything that would deserve a "current" tag on that article. -- 141.2.88.142 15:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * First of all, the "Citizendium Foundation" has a mailing address, so I presume it actually exists - do you have any evidence to the contrary? The "current" tag indicates that the article is about something ongoing.  It's possible that it's time for the "current" tag to be removed, but you shouldn't do this unanimously without first discussing it on the  talk page.  --π!  08:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Removing an article to make it a redirect for another on a totally different subject reduces the coverage of the WikiPedia. Please don't do it, at least not without discussion. There is an afd process if you don;t like an article and want it deleted. Samfreed 07:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Coprinus atramentarius
Hi -

I changed the edibility of Coprinus atramentarius back to inedible and added the following:

Coprine has been found to have mutagenic and gonadotoxic effects on animals, causing testicular lesions. For this reason it may not be a good idea to consume this species. 

It is interesting to note that this is the only poisonous mushroom with black spores.
