User page


No, I don't mind, although a tiny bit of credit would be very nice. ;) I love the colors you chose! The only change I made was a bit of tweaking to your image subpage so the War Eagle aligns right. There's only one thing that I'm not sure about. Did you want the two columns to align to the left and right (as they are currently), or did you want fixed positions? Thanks!

Re: ESP/Alerts
Because I didn't reveal my biases in the VfD -- namely, that I had previously had some bad interaction with the members of the group in question. As User:Zompist put it, I was a "disgruntled ex-contributor" to the site. I'd describe my ousting from that site in far less charitable terms -- mainly that I had become really, really annoying. In any case, I shouldn't have voted. -- E lkman - (talk) 05:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your support
r ƒa · ɐƒɹ Thank you for supporting me in my request for adminship! It ended with a tally of 39/5/4, and I am now an admin. I'm glad to have earned the trust of the community, and I will make use of it responsibly. Of course, you can let me know of any comments or concerns you have.

With a million articles in front of me, I'd better get mopping.

And I'm glad you like my signature, though I hope that wasn't the only reason for your support. :)

Thank you for responding to my cry for help in Esperenza. I am not sure I meet the requirements for Esperenza but I wish to join since I feel really alone in Wikiworld.

I recently had a horrible experience for speaking up during an arbitration (spelling? sorry). I am fairly new to Wikipedia, haven't had much of chance to go through everything, however I try. I was bullied in the Rajput article so I left, but I would always pop back to see what was up. The "Hindu" side was fairly rude but the "Pakistani" side was equally rude, the difference between the two? The Hindu side cited valid sources, while the Pakistani side cited none (what I mean to say is that they didn't even cite a source and muscled their POVs). To further create a mess the admin involved got pretty nasty and made some racist statements which ended up making my blood boil. The admin gave the Pakistani side a free hand and was really sympathetic towards them.

The Hindu side ended up getting banned in an arbitration (spelling? Sorry its 4 am right now, couldn't go to sleep) and guess what, I spoke up for what I thought was justice and got banned too and categorised as "The Hindu only side". It was as if no one bothered to read my evidence or anything, just threw me into the group. I was honestly very upset.

What kills me is that one of the Admin's friends named Zora said she was using a book to better grasp an understanding of the topic (before that they were all arguing with their POVs without any knowledge on the topic, that to me is irresponsible), however this is the best part, the book is by M Kasturi, a professor of South Asian Studies at the University of Toronto, no one bothered to read my profile that Dr. Joseph T. O'Connell, the famous Harvard Hindu scholar (primarily to do with Bengal) is Prof. Emeritus of the same department and University and is my mentor in that field. I am still very much in touch with him and his family.

The whole experience was like a slap in the face. I feel as if in Wikipedia, its not about accuracy its about who has more friends and muscle. Is there any way I can get unbanned form working on Rajput?

I am sorry if I troubled you. Thank you for reading my cry for help and responding.

Oh, hi, it's Flameviper12. I was talking about the post you made on my Types of Vandalism MfD page. You said it right; I am very enthusiastic. I think vandalism should go down now; people probably give up vandalising the Wiki for Lent, hehehe. Especially if they have no life. Oh, by the way, for future reference, I'm a guy; it was kinda odd looking seeing myself as "he or she". Bah, it's not your fault. Nevermind me. Male in Mississippi

Thanks...er...again
Thank you a lot for welcoming me to the Wiki! It was pretty nice of you. Anyway, I'll probably talk to you later about something or other, so this won't be the last.

Message on my old talk page
First off I have to say... what the f***? That message was a little wierd. I think this message was sorta like getting a wrong number because I had no idea who they were asking for (or in this case, talking about). I'll furthur investigate on it. Thanks for telling me.

Thank you for your support in my request for adminship.

It did however only just pass, and I shall do my very best to rectify any of my errors, including the general belief that I should do more article work.

Hi, TantalumTelluride! Your message really made me smile. Is it normal to feel guilty for not editing while on break? ;) Unfortunately, staying away from this place proved impossible, so I'm back.

I am letting you know so yall can "monitor" me, i told moe, curps, and avriette while apologizing. I guess he didnt accept it, and thats his choice, it just makes me feel bad, when ive messed with someone so much after ive done it. I did feel guilty, and still do, ya know. People went to great lengths to find out. Well, it was for the best for you, especially me, and all of us involved in it. Well bye, and War Eagle..--Slipknot222 22:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikihalo

Re:Wikihalo
Hi. Thank you for your words and your willingness to join our efforts to improve our awards. There's no current discussion about the Wikihalo going on at the moment, although I imagine one will get started any minute now (perhaps even as I write this). The best place to work on this is at Barnstar and award proposals. This page was created mainly for proposing new awards, but we've come to use it for redesigning/reviewing existing awards as well (in fact, over the last couple of weeks we've had two requests to review awards). That's because this is the most visible and monitored page for discussing awards. By posting there, we make sure that every user interested finds a discussion and is able to contribute. I remain at your disposal for any further help you may require, on this or any other topic. Regards, Redux 03:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Once Again, You Are My Hero

 * I have, and you're absolutely right. If I continue the petitioning, i'll use the sig rather than the welcome message. However, I'm not going to petition just for petitioning's sake either, the only reason to do that might have been solved by the soapbox coming from this rfar. Who knows? Whatever works, man.

There are many ways to get what you want, thank you so much for reminding me that and being my friend through all of this. We're not at the end yet, but I think we're closer.

New caction tool
I'm pleased to inform you that my caction tool v2 is now released. To update to the new version, replace the link to the old version in your monobook.js with

The reason I can't simply replace the old version is that the new one doesn't quite work for admins, and I'm still waiting for assistance before I completely roll it out.

Tell me what you think of it. If there are any bugs, then let me know, including your browser version in the report. Thanks, and I hope you like the new version! <font face="Verdana" color="#FF0000">haz  (user talk)<font color="#00FF00">e 16:07, 17 March 2006

Tantalum telluride
Hi there. I was bored, so I hit the Random Article button and guess what, tantalum telluride came up. I thought it sounded familiar, then I remembered your username. Something of a coincidence, but there we go. Anyway, seeing the request on your userpage, I've added another sentance, though I think it's now more or less as long as it's going to get. Not easy to expand an article with only 84 Google results, most of which are very technical. (Particularly when one of those results is the transcript from the Million Article Countdown on IRC!) – Gurch 12:31, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello TantalumTelluride, it is my apologies to bring you that I've withdrawn my RFA. Due to the lack of experience, I would go under admin coaching first before trying again later.

Hi, here's a question for you
Hi there,

I was wondering...I got involved in a discussion on a delete vote page with a member you once welcomed (by the name of Wilmat or something along those lines) and was going to attempt to use his talk page, but it's clear he is not a member who uses this site that much (in fact one of his only articles was about a non-notable cartoon he created).

Anyhow, I went to my history page and checked up on the debate and found that he had changed my comments in the vote area AFTER the discussion had ended and under where it said NOT to change the page again.

These comments were insulting and I don't find this kind of behavior to be amusing and it is clear that this user is abusing the site due to his anger that his article on his own, unknown material has been deleted. Again, I feel better contacting somebody connected with him with a serious interest in this site (instead of leaving a comment on his talk page) and hope you can correct this problem. Thanks

Fair use rationale for Image:TantalumTelluride userpage.png
Image:TantalumTelluride userpage.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
