Crohn's disease
Thanks for the barnstar, Samir. Actually I stole the idea from Tourette's syndrome. I hope it will help Crohn's become a FA soon. --apers0n 06:32, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Disembarc in Tsingtao
I found it by entering "Tsingtao" in Firefox's search function and clicking "Find Next" a couple of times. The offending portion is in section (?) 30, and reads, "Chinan and Tsingtao were captured during December 1937-January 1938. Japanese naval forces actually seized Tsingtao before Army troops arrived (January 10, 1938)." NatusRoma | Talk 07:32, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Samir,

Thanks for dropping by. I am currently busy with my studies (exam and all), so not much active nowadays. Even you seem to be on a wikibreak. Hopefully I will return to full activity by December. Take care, — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 09:13, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikibreak
Hi there, me again. Don't worry, nothing wrong with the images — I'd just like to say: Best. Wikibreak. notice. Ever. Enjoy. Fvasconcellos 11:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

SELEX: Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment
What do you think about this article? Author is SPA and won't respond to talk msgs. Do you think it's way too complex for WP? Is he trying to promote something not-yet-established? Thanks. - crz crztalk 18:09, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you think it's way too complex for WP? - crz crztalk 00:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi all. The subject itself is certainly worthy of an article, but is far too technical as it's written; it also has some minor POV issues. It could use more than a little polishing, but it's well within notability standards. – ClockworkSoul 00:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Re : Nicolas de Servières
Feel free to delete this as soon as read. Logically it should be moved, his name is Nicolas Grollier de Servière but with the problems of accessing accents in US keyboards at least a redirection should be maintained from the current title.

Why did you delete the Encyclopedia Dramatica page and yet not the Uncyclopedia page?
They are both parodies of Wikipedia, which badly needs parodies. Why is it important to delete the page for Encyclopedia Dramatica but not Uncyclopedia? Sure, ED relies heavily on bad taste humour, and celebrates WP vandals, but shouldn't people know this? --Zaorish 16:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I deleted no pages. I have no idea why you and others keep on asking me this.  See the deletion log.  My name's not on it.  Please stop bothering me -- Samir धर्म  01:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * 05:03, 11 October 2006 Samir (The Scope) (Talk | contribs) deleted "Encyclopedia dramatica"

 * The suicide forest 01:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Stop hassling people. An Encyclopedia Dramatica article is not appropriate and will never be allowed. Samir deleted Encyclopedia dramatica, not Encyclopedia Dramatica (if you got the case right, he'd be able to find it) and he was right to do so. If you have a problem with this, take it back to ArbCom. Sarah Ewart 01:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think I'm hassling anybody. Today is the first day I've brought this up. Furthermore, neither the protection and deletion of the ED page (I think) or the talk page (I know for sure) is justifiable according to Wikipedia rules. Hence why discussion logs and voting logs were deleted and why there is no place for Wikipedians to bring up this subject for discussion amongst themselves.

I don't know if there's a reason for the deletion of the main page, but if there is I'd like to see it. And either way I'd like to know why Wikipedians are being kept from discussing this.

Also, WTF is this about it not being appropriate? If you mean content of the site, since when is appropriateness of content reason for exclusion from Wikipedia? The suicide forest 01:43, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the entire contents of the article Samir deleted: "Encyclopedia dramatica was a parody of Wikipedia until wikipedia made it personal and deleted their encyclopedia dramatica page." That's it. Regardless of the ArbCom ruling, Samir was entirely correct to speedy that article. It was unencyclopedic rubbish. I don't know why you think this deletion was outside policy. Please also see the findings in the ArbCom ruling . Logs cannot be deleted...I have no idea why you would think they can be. You have your answers, now please, stop hassling admins for doing their jobs. Sarah Ewart 01:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not hassling admins, and I agree that that article was rubbish and should have been deleted. However, he also protected it meaning I or someone else can't write an in-depth decent article. The question is, why the protect?

Also, I didn't come here looking for a fight. In fact, I don't have anything against samir and he seems like a good admin that is trying to do his job. I'm asking why he made his decision, and hoping as an admin he will share his logive. I have no idea why you're so up in arms about this. I am merely trying to find out why such a prominent site on the internet is not being allowed to have anything about it posted. I did NOT expect such a hostile reaction from anyone about this. I am merely trying to find out the reasoning behind ED's removal. This is the first I've EVER seen anything relating to this. It seems ED is blocked due to a lack of notability back when the article was first created, which has since changed. And while it's nice to fianlly see some reasons, it would be very nice to be able to ask those involved their reasons for doing what they did without having an overzealous user jump down my throat about so-called "hassling". It would also be really nice to actually be able to discuss this matter with other users via a talk page, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. So please back down and let Samir speak for himself. I and many others want to know what he has to say.

 * Samir has asked to be left alone. Please abide by his wishes. And it is a bit hard to assume good faith when you admit on your user page that you're a troll. Sarah Ewart 03:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sarah's got it right, The suicide forest. I deleted a three line rant-piece.  I have no idea why the Encyclopedia Dramatica article was deleted... presumably there was an AfD.  Frankly, I think you know more about it than me. -- Samir धर्म  05:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Need your help again
Hey Samir, hope all is well. I just uploaded an image on wikimedia commons (a photograph I had taken a while back). I was wondering what licence I had to give it to be able to use it in an article on wikipedia. Here's a link:. Many thanks! Cheers. Cribananda 05:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and thanks again. I'm flattered :-) Will keep your suggestion in mind. Cribananda 16:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, can you look at Bharatanatyam again when you get a chance? If you remember, I spoke to you regarding the images on that page once already. A semi-protect might be too early at this stage, but I would request it. I have a feeling User:Rupa Srikanth might be a sockpuppet of User:Sfacets. Also, I don't want to remove all the images, just some of them unless somebody is going to use them to explain the different postures. Thanks. Cribananda 19:38, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Editor review request
Hello, I noticed you've participated in RfAs, and I'm trying to get some feedback on "my Editor Review" (which is sort of like a pre-RfA/overall performance opinion) from admins/editors with experience.

Health Wiki Research
A colleague and I are conducting a study on health wikis. We are looking at how wikis co-construct health information and create communities. We noticed that you are a frequent contributor to Wikipedia on health topics.

Please consider taking our survey here.

This research will help wikipedia and other wikis understand how health information is co-created and used.

We are from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The project was approved by our university research committee and members of the Wikipedia Foundation.

Ref desk cleanup, help needed
As a user who has expressed interest in dealing with misuse of the reference desk, you may be interested in my comments at Wikipedia talk:Reference desk and my new strategy for dealing with the problem at User:SCZenz/Reference desk comments.

User Jance
Samir,

I have left a fairly strong note for user Jance (whom I only came across a week or so ago). I do not understand why she thinks you blocking the article is a partisan act. It is a bit frustrating because her argumentative style undermines her points (some of which are better than others).

--BozMo talk 10:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your efforts BozMo. I really appreciate them.  It is unfortunate when article editing becomes bogged down in difficulties like this -- Samir धर्म  15:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I should thank you for keeping going really. You probably have plenty of rubbish/stress to put up with and sort out at work and having the appetite for more on WP is admirable! --BozMo talk 22:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Question
Why did you revert my edit? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.135.161.74 (talk) 04:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC).
 * WP:ANI is an administrator's noticeboard to deal with issues that require administrative intervention. A lot of superfluous stuff gets added to it, and it's important to keep only issues requiring administrative attention on it -- Samir धर्म  04:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Where ought I leave my message?

RFC
Samir, I find it odd that you would complain after I stopped posting on Clin-Med. Why? What is your purpose? Jance 05:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not a complaint. It is a request for you to comment on your conduct, which I and many others view as entirely inappropriate.  Should you not explain and/or apologize for your behaviour adequately, then a complaint to ArbCom will be the next step -- Samir धर्म  05:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, what is the matter?
"Peripheral to these issues. Goodlief (talk • contribs • logs) registered 24 hours ago and appears to be trolling WP:RFC"

You accused me of trolling? What do you have against me? Goodlief 06:38, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You've registered 24 hours ago and commented on a whole heap of RfC's oftentimes with inflammatory comments. You are trolling -- Samir धर्म  06:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter when I choose to register. Is this because you didn't like my "Observation of Signatures" comment? You are not AGF from the start. Goodlief
 * You are continuing to troll. Registering then immediately going to the RfC page and commenting on a slew of RfC's is a decidedly suspicious thing to do.  Stop it -- Samir धर्म  06:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
