Congratulations
Congratulations on you imminent promotion to sysop status Srikeit. You are truly an unsung hero of the project and it was a privilege to nominate you. As with the my other noms, the RfA statistics do not convey the magnitude of your contribution. All the best, Blnguyen | rant-line 04:23, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, you are now an administrator - and with a huge majortiy of support!

Userpage vandalism
Thanks for reverting the edits made to my userpage. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 13:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

80.249.49.8
Hi. You recently shortened the block on 80.249.49.8, one of the IPs I edit from behind when I'm at work. Thanks. A very large number of schoolkids edit from behind that IP, though, so if it's not blocked then there's loads of vandalism. Now that soft blocking is an option, I suggest that you change the block to an infinite duration soft block. Thanks. --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 14:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well its probably because I'm a n00b admin, but I really don't understand what you mean by soft-blocking. I shortened the block duration as it was a shared IP and there has been an instance of collateral damage occurring. IP's are never indef-blocked unless they're established to be open-proxies. Any further vandalism from this IP will be dealt with appropriate blocks. Thanks --Srikeit (Talk 06:46, 20 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I moved your reply here to keep the conversation together. Soft blocking's only been available for about ten days - sorry, I should have given you more details.  As a result of Tim Starling's recent work on MediaWiki Bug 550, it's now possible to soft block IP addresses, so that anonymous users can't edit, but logged-in users can.  In situations like this, that's exactly how it needs to be - this IP is the home to thousands upon thousands of schoolkids, so there's loads of vandalism when it's not blocked.  On the other hand, there are plenty of good users editing through it too, both adults and kids.  I'm not an admin, so I can't check, but I think if you go to block an IP address now it gives you a bunch of fairly self explanatory options.  --Hugh Charles Parker (talk - contribs) 09:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Protection Request
Hi, I was wondering whether you could protect this page - User:Daniel.Bryant/GraalOnline - because the mediation submissions are finished, and now I (the mediator) will go off and deliberate. In this time, I want to minimize a war of words.  Killfest2 (Talk) 11:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me...
Pardon me, I am not a "Wikipedian," but your people seem to be treating me like one. In a bad way. You Wikipedians keep sending warnings to 220.240.241.185, which is apparently me, even though I have no idea waht it means. Anyway, I, an innocent member of the public, am constantly blocked from contributing to Wikipedia, and I'm trying to find help to once again contribute by being unblocked. Could you, Srikeit, send my message to some higher-up and tell him to stop blocking 220.240.241.185. I would much appreciate it. As I'm not a "Wikipedian" you will not be able to contact me as such, but send any reply to simon@leonsec.vic.edu.au if you help me.

Thankyou, Simon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.240.241.185 (talk • contribs) 16:12 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, when relisting afd discussions, please comment out the discussion on the older afd page (by adding after the line, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FLog%2F2006_July_17&diff=65734561&oldid=65734014). here]).

Hey, thanks for the quick semi-protection, Srikeit! I'm currently functioning on only four hours of sleep, but otherwise I'm quite well. :) How've you been? Regards,  Sango 123  23:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

FAC
Hopefully you should see FAC today or within 2-3 days. Waiting for approval from Ambuj. You can just quickly read through the entire article and check for any errors. Both Nirav and I have are very familiar with the article and may not be able to spot some errors. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 06:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think more photos are required. Though you can click a photo of the new flyover at Shreyas. Maybe we can add that to signify recent improvements in infrastructure. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 06:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you using some automated tool for spell check? Does it have options to choose between American and British english? Some of the spellings that you have corrected are actually correct in British english. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 08:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have already reinstated the old spellings in some cases. Still, you can check if there are any more spellings left to be converted to British spellings. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 08:10, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Your photos
Hello Srikeit. As usual, your photos of Ahmedabad really brighten up the day. I am thinking of which photo to use. I really like the first one a lot. There is one thing I wanted to tell you a long time back. Why don't you upload your images on commons? That would make these images available to all wikis. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 13:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

My RfA
Thankyou for your participation in my RfA. Due to an almost even spread of votes between Oppose and Support (Final (16/13/6)) I have decided to withdraw for now and re-apply in a couple of months as suggested. I thank everyone for their kind support of my editorial skills; it meant a lot to me to get such strong recommendations from my fellow editors. If you ever have any hints as to how I can improve further, I would love to hear from you. Viridae Talk 15:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Tabriz rug
Hi,

You have locked the Tabriz rug for further editing. But, there is one serious issue. The web page in its current format is pro-Iranian and most of the information lacks evidences. I would appreciate if you could include on the top of the page that this web page is disputed.

Can you please also assign to this web page one moderator or facilitator. Because I don't think that without the 3rd party involvement we can solve many of my disagreement with persian nationalists.

Thanks,

Ramil

You've got a Thank you card!
  Open your card! Dear Srikeit, 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. Despite I've never had the pleasure of talking to you until now, dear Srikeit, know that your name is one I am familiar with, and I know you're a great editor and an awesome person. From this day on, I also consider you my friend, and I'd be happy and honored if you consider me as your own. With a big hug, your friend,  P h a e d r i e l  ♥  tell me  

Help Please
I need a help from you. User AED has listed an article (biography) about me for deletion. Following that there has been comments like "non-notable" "exam-cram" "limited shelf life". How am I to oppose it. If it is an article, we can remove that citing lack of sources. I was pushed into editing the article only for the past 2 days after that. Initially the reason given for delete was Not-notable. When I gave enough proof that I have written 6 medical text books they have changed the accusation into Vanity. And one user have voted three times for it to be deleted. Another doctor from Delhi (may be some one who knows me in real world and does not like me) has gone to the extent of telling that no one knows about me

I understand that I should not write an article about me. You should note that the article was not written by me. Hence I am not able to comprehend the Vanity Issue. My problem is not with deleting or keeping it. It is regarding to the mud sligning that has been happening in the AFD Debate of various individuals (as well as corporates / Organisations etc) after nominating the article for debate in the recent past and unfortunately I am a victim now. If it is an article, we can remove that citing lack of sources. But the baseless insulting comments made here will stay.Doctor Bruno 13:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I guess you have misunderstood me. This article was not written my me. ANy how, I feel that WP:BIO says about Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work. Can you be more clear as to why I don't fit into that criteria. I am asking the question not only for me, but for similar situations. Doctor Bruno 07:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Regarding the counter points
 * The article was not written by me. When this controversy erupted, I read the guidelines regarding autobiography and has followed what is given in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AUTO#If_Wikipedia_already_has_an_article_about_you Even without going through the debate, when users accuse of vanity (as if I have created the article) it hurts a lot
 * WP:BIO clearly says that you can have articles on published authors. There is no talk about Junior/Senior, Undergraduation/Post Graduation, Fiction/Nonfiction etc.
 * My main concern is that all these points come out only after I put a counter question. They are not the real facts, but are made up as the users ego prevent them from stepping back. In order to substantiate the hasty vote, they invent new guideline.
 * Wounded by these new "self invented" guidelines, I even deleted the article my self, but that has been restoredDoctor Bruno 07:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
