Reply from me
Other than the entry on external links that reads "UNIQ4f1498313 8725c4d-HTML CommentStrip25e4e39637 aef7eb00000004", everything looks fine. I don't understand the purpose behind that "UNIQ" code. Care to explain that?

You appear to have improved the article more considerably than the norm. I have the Asperger's Syndrome article on my watchlist so I noticed you when your name appeared ten times in a row. --Shultz IV 12:49, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The random jumble of text appears at the top of Asperger_syndrome in case you don't realize you put it there. To add an article to your watchlist, there is a "watch" tab to the far right of the other tabs on top of nearly every page on Wikipedia. Only registered users possess the "watch" feature; anon IP users will not see the watch tab. All you need to do is click on it and your watchlist will have that article. Alternately, you can press alt+w on the page you're reading at that moment and it'll also send that article (or userpage, and any type of page on WP) to your watchlist. --Shultz IV 13:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Referencing
Hi there. I noticed your copyediting and referencing on Culture of India. However, you needed to add:

==References== Whence,
 * 1) *हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा
 * 2) *Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था
 * 3) Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
 * 4) For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
 * 5) * 1.
 * 6) * 2.
 * 7) * 3. phonological transcription
 * 8) * 4.  For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.
 * 9) Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article . These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.
 * 10) Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
 * 11) Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
 * 12) The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
 * 13) For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
 * 14) Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
 * 15) When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
 * 16) Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.

For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.

Ganeshk's Rfa
May I request you to keep your cool? Also, "stubborn", unlike "stupid" is not a personal attack. Please understand that being the nominator, I have the highest stake in the success of this RfA, next only to Ganeshk ;-). I personally feel that Anwar is suffering from a persecution complex, thanks to the chat we all had on my talkpage in the not so distant past. It is probably better to let him be. --Gurubrahma 11:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

My Edits to Khalistan article
Hi! appreciate your concern on the edits. However the edits are in utmost good faith with high regard to to wikipedia NPOV policy. The so called references on the basis of which my edits are being reverted are blatantly biased and therfore highlyl disputed. The article presents part truth in a highly twisted manner that is completely derogatory of the Indian establishment. Many thanks! AnwarA 12:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Your edits might not have been actually vandalism, but they were in the violation of the three revert rule on Wikipedia. Constant edit-warring is not considered to be good for the project. --Nearly Headless Nick 12:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Khalistan
Hi! I would request you to view of a history of the edits on the Khalistan. I had earnestly set about to rid the article of POV and unnecessary and irrelevant anti-India, anti-Hindu statements. Where as Zafarnama is constantly re-introducing these edits. Statements like:

"Mary Anne Weaver of the Christian Science Monitor reports that the army operation was followed by killings of Sikh males between the ages of 15 and 35 in Punjab’s villages..."

"Punjab's current water levels ..." (these have nothing to do with the article.

"State Terror followed by Militant Response by Sikhs..."

I, user:sukh and a lot of other editors have tried to reason with but to no avail. Please see talk page. If I were to insert my POV, I could make a mention of countless acts of atrocities committed by sikh militants led by Bhindrawale. But apparently, whoever does not subsribe to Zafarnama's views is either a criminal or a liar. (He calls Khushwant Singh a liar too). He has called me a bigoted Hindu. Please see his uncivility on the talk page.

I don't care if you just delete the article, but as long as it is there, I will not allow it to be used for propogating hate against any community and in particular any country. AnwarA 04:02, 11 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I deeply appreciate the way that you have taken up the subject. Its always good to get a consensus before making a big change in any article. However, you can be bold if you like. Wikipedia has a three revert rule which you violated on the article. In case, some other user reverts to version which other users do not agree to, you can derieve consesus about the subject on the talk page of the article. Keep the rules in mind and be flexible, that'll do the trick. Warm regards, --Nearly Headless Nick 13:59, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Quick Question
Hi, I just have a quick Wikipedia protocal question.

I want to turn this page: List of guest stars on The Simpsons into something like this page: List of South Park episodes with the charts and images of each various thing. However, this would involve somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 images on one page. So, I was wondering what Wikipedias protocal on the matter is. Thanks! ~Scorpion0422


 * I think having 400 images on a single page wouldn't be advisable. You could rather put up images of prominent episodes of the programme. I have to admit that I am not an expert in this matter, you would be better off asking this on the help desk or the administrator notice-board.

USA PATRIOT Act
The one I'm going to get started on sometime is USA PATRIOT Act, Title VI, but if you want to help grab any of the uncompleted articles in the template to the right. I'm currently summarising them, later I will see about going to the UNSW to find sources that comment on the Titles or the Act itself. It's slow going and lonely work, though! - Ta bu shi da yu 12:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll try my best, though I find law to be a very painful subject. --Nearly Headless Nick 15:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!
If you have questions, feel free to leave a talk page message for me or any other admin. Again, congratulations! Essjay  ( Talk )  12:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Congratulations for making it to WP:100-1. You deserve it. Enjoy the mop. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 12:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Congratulations, though it's unfortunate that Stifle jinxed it. Oh well. You can find the union hall of the Wikipedia Janitor's Union, a technically unaffiliated internet-based international branch of the SEIU, across town on Freenode Tube at #wikipedia-en-admins. You may pay your dues here. Before you can get into the union hall you will need to get your name on the access list by talking to one of the membership secretaries like Shanel or Essjay. :) &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 19:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

You've got a Thank you card!
 Open your card! Dear Sir Nick, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best. Dear Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (wow! this feels like one of Shakespeare's plays, doesn't it? :) this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for a looong time. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and it's always a great pleasure to finally get to talk with someone whose thoughts you've become comfortable to read and with whom I usually agree with. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy. I only wish I knew a shorter name to call you by! :) Oh, and how could I forget - congrats on your well deserved mop! ;) With a big hug, your friend,   P h a e d r i e l   ♥   tell me 

Thank you
Hello Sir Nic. The barnstar came as a great surprise to me, particularly so as to-day only I had presented one to Ambuj.Saxena:. I am not sure of myself to deserve the one for me. I thank you, and accept the barnstar on behalf of the community of wikipedians. Thank you my dear. May you continue to excel in real life as well as here as a wikipedian. --Bhadani 13:47, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, and please see that Ambuj should again become active here. Wikipedia should not lose him. --Bhadani 13:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

" its my userspace :P "
I was alphabetizing dozens of users (mostly in the main admin category), but hey, if you want to be the only user listed under U (other than the guy whose username actually starts with a U) that's OK with me ;). ps, does the removal of the red button mean that I can't block you anymore? Cheers, NoSeptember  12:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ooh. That edit summary wasn't intended for you at all. --Nearly Headless Nick 08:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I considered that possibility, considering the major change to the page in that edit, but it was more fun to assume it was directed at me ;). I hope the removal of the list of articles you worked on doesn't indicate that you plan to become an admin-only admin, as opposed to a article-contributor admin.

Tdxiang congratulates you!


--Fantastic! Here's wishing you good luck!-- Tdxi an  g   Jimbo's 40th Birthday!  07:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC) Expect to receive ANOTHER message of congratulations anytime soon, Anirudh...
