Listed images for speedy deletion
Hello Srikeit,

Sorry about this, but I just listed two of your images for speedy deletion, namely Image:Dravid.jpg and Image:Irfan pathan.jpg. The licence terms you specified for them were not accurate. One was actually cc-by-nc and one was cc-by-nc-sa, both of which are non-free licences that we can't use. Creative Commons licences are confusing. You have to be very careful which one is which.

Of course, you could try and persuade the photographers to licence their work under a different licence, one that isn't for non-commercial use only, but you may not be successful.

Yours,

 * You wrote: Hi Stephen, thanks for & correcting my error. I have myself deleted the images in question. Frankly, I still don't understand the problem with the images but I explicitly trust your judgement & am sure you must be correct. Just to be on the safe side, I'll just upload GFDL stuff from now on ;-) BTW how have you been?Good to see you & Jguk back. Bodes well the cricket project! Cheers! Srikeit (Talk 17:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message, Srikeit. Basically, Wikipedia is not allowed to use images marked "for non-commercial use only", because we might want to be able to sell or licence our content later.


 * Many CC licences are OK, and there's no reason to stop using them. Just make sure it's one of the licences on the permitted list not the forbidden list. The bad ones are the ones containing nc (non-commercial) or nd (no derivatives). And of course make sure that it has the right licence tag.


 * To answer your other question, I'm fine, thank you. I took a month's wikibreak but I'm back now, although contributing a bit less than I did a few months ago.

 * Very nice article and picture. Enjoyed the read.  I have to visit Ahmedabad; I never have, but my dad lived in Ahmedabad for a while working on a "top secret" satellite project when he worked for ISRO in the late 1960's -- Samir   धर्म 08:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey. Great article. Got 2 shocks. One on seeing an Ahmedabad related article on DYK not created by me and the other shock was seeing that the article was created by you.

DYK archiving
Hi Srikeit, thanks for your efforts in keeping DYK updated. Just a minor request: when adding old items to the talk page archive, can you remember to include a link to the featured image after the fact text. (see current listings where I've added Ahmedabad Textile Industry's Research Association). When moved to the permanent archives the images are converted to be displayed.

subhash bose
I saw that you blocked Subhash bose for 3RR on Atal bihari vajpayee. I dont think he was wrong. May be you could reconsider his block. Please note that I am not defending his previous actions.nids(&#9794;) 19:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I am asking this for myself (I dodnt even violate 1RR except in rare cases). Does 3RR apply in cases of obvious vandalism. I have read the wiki policies, but this point is still not clear to me. nids(&#9794;) 20:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Subhash sometimes does get out of line, but one week is adventurous for reverting vandalism by Holywarrior. A summary of Holywarrior's first 6 edits is here, where he vandalized a section on Vajpayee and put unencyclopedic mumbo jumbo on the page. You may also want to look at the goings on of Holywarrior here.Bakaman Bakatalk 21:56, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I too was banned similarly for breaking 3RR. 3RR is for stopping edit wars. It is not a rule to deal with vandalism. My edits in Robert Vadra were not vandalism but constructive additions. Please have a look at the overall contribsUser:Ikonoblast (erstwhile User:Holywarrior). They are nothing but clearly biased attacks on upper castes and the glorification of low castes and the most well-known of the corrupt people, Lalu Prasad Yadav. &#9812; BADMIN  &#9819;   (&#2310;&#2323;&#9997;)  19:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Srikiet.I was wondering if your punishment to bose and badminton were maybe a bit harsh.For all their flaws, they did make constructive edits, were not overt vandals. I request you to reconsider Badminton's indefban as perhaps done in the heat of the moment and perhaps get some other perspectives on the issue. His edits seem okay so perhaps a lighter punishment (brief block and stern warning) is in order. I will be glad to talk to him about his behaviour and discuss how he might conducct himself here.Hkelkar 23:56, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

An alien!
First Bhadani's a pimp (see my talk page), now I'm an alien? It's been a weird day! Hope all is well at school, sorry for scooping your DYK update. I've got my second Royal College exam next week (a massive three day event Sept 20-21-22) and have cancelled my patients for a week to study. The good part is that I get to go to my hometown (Ottawa) to write it! Woo hoo! When I wrote my first specialty exam in internal medicine 1.5 years ago, my old high school friends (from 12 years ago now, I'm so old!!!) and I ended up at the casino until 1 AM the night before the exam. Bad form. Still got high honours though. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 18:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Someone has gone and made entries in Wiktionary for most of the words on Wiktionary:List of Hindi words all Wiktionaries should have, but it doesn't appear to be all correct or with the most common terms. I've been working on it with my dictionary, but do you mind taking a look at a section or two to check if they are correct and maybe add a couple missing ones?

Hey Srikeit, I just wanted to thank you for your strong support of my recent RfA. I am absolutely thrilled that it passed with a final tally of 160/4/1.

Uh, about the protection...
About the protection on List of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air characters. I was the one who requested protection. It seems that although the page is now semi-protected, there are still multiple instances of vandalism (unreverted) on that page. As you're an admin, I hope that you can resolve this.

Sorry 'bout that
Regarding Primerica Financial Services, I reviewed WP:SPP to learn the semi-protection policy. I saw the line that said "the tag sprotected should be added to the top of the page", but somehow completely missed the heading that said "administrators". My bad, won't happen again.

Mahawiki
Hi dear Admin,

This is to bring to your notice the wiki-feud I've been having with User:Mahawiki for almost one month now. It started with the Belgaum page which went to mediation, warnings were handed out to both parties, and when Mahawiki's incivil ways continued, Admin:Bluyugen handed him a warning and then a block. Find that here.

I do not want to turn the clock back and go through all those content disputes again. Infact, I dont want to present to you the details of any content dispute we've had. All I want to present to you is the brazen incivility and personal attacks being committed by User:Mahawiki either in the course of his content disputes or even simply just out of spite.

All the diffs(exhibiting his incivility and personal attacks) I provide below are from '''AFTER, I REPEAT, "AFTER". ADMIN BLUGYUEN INTERVENED, WARNED ALL OF US, AND HANDED MAHAWIKI A BLOCK.

Please find below dozens of instances of blatant incivility and personal attacks by User:Mahawiki either on me or on User:Dineshkannambadi and all Kannadigas in general. His remarks are in extremely bad taste and counterproductive resulting in undermining of the good faith efforts of the other editors to carry on editing their articles.

While I dont want to go into each and every diff and explain it, just to give you a sample of his incivility, he has made edits where, even if only in jest or sarcasm, he makes atrocious claims like, I am on a kill Mahawiki mission, that User:Dineshkannambadi is the Kannada (Bin) Laden(sic). In another edit, even if only for jest(which I certainly dont find amusing nor appreciate esp., when it comes from him), he has threatened to sue me. He has called us cultural TERRORISTS, losers, notorious, shameless etc., etc. He uses the word vandalism like one would use 'Hi' and 'Hello'.

Find all the above and much much much more in the diffs I've provided below. '''Whats worse is his antics are going unchecked because Admin:Blugyen who knows about our feud is on a wikibreak and Admin:Sundar whose intervention I've sought more than once, is busy with other things(I presume, in real life) - which ofcourse, I dont hold against either of them.

But wikipedia will be a poorer place if brazen incivility like this goes unchecked for weeks simply because many admins dont know about it or the ones who know are by force of circumstances, too busy to deal with it.

I request immediate and harsh action on Mahawiki.

Once again, let me remind everyone that in the links below, none of them pertain to any content disputes. I belive in dealing with the content disputes on the relevant talk pages and dont usually bring it out on user talk pages.

Infact, I have even not listed below, the atrocious claim he made a couple of days ago that I had deleted and later undeleted an article. Also not listed below is his blatant removal of tags I had added in a couple of articles without even clarifying or providing a citation for the claim which I had tagged. Also not listed below may be umpteen other instances of incivility and npa violations on his part that I might have missed.

All the diffs below deal purely and only with his brazen incivil comments and personal attacks not just on me, but on User:Dineshkannambadi and also highly respected historians like Mr. Suryanath Kamath et al(who have been cited in some articles by Dinesh) whom he has trashed and dismissed in the most uncivil manner possible.

Apart from this he also makes disparaging remarks on Karnataka and Karnataka politicians who he keeps claiming are oppressing and torturing Marathi speaking people in Belgaum. This is not a content dispute, this is plain nonsense and insanely belligerent language.

His incivility apart, he has made it a habit and a routine to go around all over wikipedia branding me and Dinesh as 'Kannadi' vandals bent on Kannadizing all articles we touch. Ask him if we have included any uncited material or if we has ever cited any references for his numerous claims or whether he has taken it up on the article talk page instead of on a random user talk page. His answer will be negative. And yet, that doesnt stop him from going around shouting that we have been vandalising articles!!

Anway, I dont want to veer this towards the 'content disputes' which is a whole different matter altogether. Content disputes can always be discussed and agreements reached. Let me present to you just his brazen incivility and personal attacks.

Here we go -
