Greetings
Regarding your question about the architecture of Iran, please explain a bit more. Im afraid I didnt quite understand what youre asking about.--Zereshk 23:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. You mean like a western style (e.g. colonial) that can be seen in Iran today?--Zereshk 23:19, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The colonial thing was my question to you. No one in Iran (save academics) even know what a colonial style is. The style of building is quite dependent on the geographical area. In the northern provinces, roofs are traditionally sloped. But in cities, and particularly in drier areas, roofs are flat, perhaps not unlike Albequerque. Nowadays, architecture is the least element considered in building and construction. Profit and mass production are in priority. That's why Tehran (and most other big cities in Iran) look like a bastardized Soviet city, despite its many individual gems. The urban fabric is oversaturated and isnt able to accomodate its population. That's why I tried to focus mainly on the traditional architecture of Iran, which has a rich history, style, and literature of its own. I dont know if this'll help any.--Zereshk 00:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * If residential stuff is what youre after, then see Kashan and Shiraz, Iran for some examples. See also the gallery of photos I took here. Kashan is particularly rich in traditional residential architecture.--Zereshk 00:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks man!
You can use any part of the formatting that you want. And also thanks for the offer for the information, I will give u a buzz if I need anything. Also I saw you were intrested in Iranian history stuff. I'm working on a large website and if you want to come on board, I'm just a message away. --( Aytakin ) | Talk 00:00, 28 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I read it a couple of months ago. Another good book is "Shah of Shahs" by Kapuściński. I'll contact you in a few days about the website. --( Aytakin ) | Talk 00:36, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The address for the website is and also I have a wiki for information on Iran, the website for that is. --( Aytakin ) | Talk 23:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hey!!

Re: 71.131.2.251
No, I'm not an admin... I looked over the changes from 71.131.2.251 and, as I understand it, they aren't current enough to warrant a banning (which is usually only for 24 hours, and generally requires several reverts in the last few hours). Check out Vandalism, which shows some of the guidelines. For what it's worth, the IP is on my (and I'm sure several others who use 3rd-party tools to monitor changes) blacklist and he'll get shut down pretty quick if he starts vandalizing again. - Dharmabum420 06:36, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Iran Website
Hey man, Yeah, I'm following the whole nuclear program story. I'm kind of scared to see what's gonna happen. Also, I have my finals too. But they end Febuary 1st. And I wanted to tell you that I changed the address for the wiki, to. So, good luck on your exams. Bye--( Aytakin ) | Talk 12:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Rasmuffin Productions
Technically articles about websites generally can't be speedy deleted, and since the author contests the speedy deletion... I've removed both tags. This will need to go to AfD in my opinion. If you need help or want me to list it for AfD, just let me know. Thanks. --W.marsh 03:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

2003 invasion of Iraq
Hi there, when trying to go over the discussion at 2003 invasion of Iraq I saw it has become a big mess. If I see it correctly there was a conflict between an anon and others and now the page has been blocked. I think the anon had a point that an encyclopedia article about any military conflict should not be written exclusively by three members of one the conflicting parties, in this case Pookster11, Swatjester, and Dawgknot who according to this comment all belong to the US military. I therefore suggest to get more people into the boat, that should take the wind out of the sails of bias allegations. As I saw you also edited on that page, would you be willing to help out?

Use of welcome template
I noticed that your welcomed User:Jen99 (User talk:Jen99). When you copy the text of the welcome template make sure you copy the text in the edit window. Otherwise (as as happened on Jen99's talk page), a lot of the links/info get buggered up. I'll let you fix up User:Jen99's welcome, or just ask and I'll do it for you.--Commander Keane 21:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

CSA To Do list
I see you nominated the To do list for an article for speedy deletion as nonsense. While I understand, by itself, a to do list doesn't make complete sense, do you not think that's a litle too harsh? I can't take the db off myself, obviously, but I was in the process of asking for help with the article as per WP:AID, and one of the requirements was a to do list on the article. Could this be a mistake perhaps, and not knowing this wasn't a main article? MartinRe 00:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries, I see you're removed it, thanks! Thanks for the note as well. :) MartinRe 00:22, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

The "Arabian" Penninsula
That is home to all the semitic tribes not just the Arabs so why should it be named after them. The Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Arameans, Chaldeans all orinigated from there. That is my implication that it is NOT Arab in origin.King Legit The Arabs call the Persian gulf the Arabian gulf. In my eyes it should the Sumerian Gulf.


 * Actually Sean, The name isn't out dated. The Shiite south actually thought of reinstating the name. One of the proposed names of the southern portion of Iraq if it's to cecede is the Islamic Republic of Sumer.King Legit


 * I honestly don't care if you don't believe me. This one of the plethora of rumors that I've heard about Iraq. I here news all the time through relatives. As far as credible sources, most of the times they're right albeit exaggerated a bit. I guarantee a full scale civil war very soon. You'll see. I predicted this before the US even invaded, it would have happened once Saddam was gone regaurdless, this has been brewing since the first British occupation of the country. Turmoil has to be forever entagled in the middle east, read about the history. Every great civilization that's tryed to conquer Babylon has received it's very same fate.King Legit

My RfA
With apologies for the impersonal AWB-ness of the message... Thanks for your support on my recent request for adminship. It passed at 91/1/0, and I hope I can continue to deserve the community's trust. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you, and if I make a mistake be sure to tell me.

Wikiethics
Hi,

We started a proposal Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 22:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Speed Demon Community
Thanks for the note. In answer to your inquiry, the SDC article is orphaned and appears to exist solely as a means of promoting an external link (which is does not appear to meet the tests of WP:EL) to an otherwise unnotable discussion forum. The article does not appear to really impart any significant information, and the only way someone would run across it is if they were specifically looking for it. Not being a pianist myself, it is certainly possible that this article could be worked into something useful, but I think it's a stretch. Twisted86 03:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Old Skool Esperanzial note
Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Cel es tianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Islamic Barnstar Award
Please offer your opinion, vote, or whatever about your choice for the image to be used with the Islamic Barnstar Award at the Barnstar proposals page. Although there is consensus for the concept of an Islamic Barnstar Award, some editors would like to change the image for the award. I was just thinking you should be aware of this discussion because you have contributed to Islamic-related articles, received the Islamic Barnstar Award, or have contributed to the Islam-related Wikiprojects, etc.--JuanMuslim 1m 16:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Personal attack
As I'm sure you're aware, since you're supposedly part of the anti-vandalism force here on WP, the paragraph you restored to The College Preparatory School constitutes a personal attack. Not only that, but you edited it several times, showing that you were aware of the content. I would like an explanation as to why you restored the paragraph, and an apology for doing so. You may leave a message on this page, which I will be watching. Mrs. Hamilton ("fascist bitch") at 68.122.14.4 04:24, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay I was NOT the first username, and that's not my sockpuppet. Futhermore, I did not edit, rather someone using this screename on my computer did so. And I deleted it after I noticed it was there (check the edit log) so i'm absolved from this matter. --SeanMcG 01:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I see the mixup. You didn't know that my IP is 69.105.225.201, because I wasn't signed it when I got rid of it. --SeanMcG 01:27, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for blanking it, and you might want to change your password. And if you know who made the edit, you may refer them to speak to me personally rather than hiding behind your account. Apparently Lick students are of a higher caliber than those at CPS, at least one of them. Thanks again. Mrs. H 68.122.14.4 03:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

What is your rationale for making these broad judgments, Mrs. Hamilton?#REDIRECT User:Mohammedrafi
 * I don't believe that's any of your business, unless you're one of the parties involved, in which case please identify yourself. Thank you. Mrs. H 68.122.14.4 22:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a question, why was someone who was absolutely not culpable whatsoever for this ad hominum interogated today at CPS? --SeanMcG 19:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * A personal attack on a member of faculty by a student is a very serious offense. I support interrogation of any students at CPS who may be remotely suspected or involved. Mipchunk 00:32, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * First off, you're not involved. Second off, interrogation of ANY student? That's absurd. The blame should be placed off this one individual and ON to whoever therlaender is, and this can easily be found out by an ISP check. I'm sure any computer administrator at CPS can figure out how to. --69.105.225.201 02:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)--> This was SeanMcG
 * I may not be directly involved, but I too watch the CPS WP article and am a CPS student, so it is in my interest that I see this issue through. I didn't say that the blame should be placed on whoever this individual is. An interrogation implies asking students question in relation to the issue. Also, it's possible to do ISP checks on users? Hrm, I thought that only WP admins with checkuser could do that... But anyways, who was it who used your account to restore the vandalism? If you know, it would immediately place the blame off whichever individual that is being wrongfully accused. Mipchunk 02:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well the problem is there are two users involved: someone from my school who used my account, and Tharleander who is probably someone from CPS. And yes, an IP check would have to be done by an admin --SeanMcG 04:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply to Sean
I want to thank you for your comments and your defense of the person interviewed this morning. I/we never suspected for a moment that that person was responsible for the edit; the interview was primarily to mutually gather and impart information. I hope to reassure the party concerned on that account. Our inquiries are proceeding and I can't really discuss them here, but I hope for a positive resolution, or at least a stop to the abuse.
