Those hormonally charged induhviduals are at it again in this article. Seems to be two rivalling "factions" trying to make the other side look idiotic. Have reverted stuff, and additionally placed an inline warning as an HTML comment. But if they come back despite this, I'd consider blocking of the main IP. Achitnis 19:20, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Look Who is Back: User:Kapilshastri
The same user who has been warned and banned is now attempted to assert himself on Wiki again and again and again. --07:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

my userpage
I don't know what ur talking about. I am following User page, and all those other ridiculous rules you people have over here. Anyway, let me explain the purposes of my actions...

I'm sending emails in celebration of March 15, which only literate people would know as the ides of March. The ".03" in my account name means that I was born in March. The 1010 "Beware the ides of March!" I had on my page means that I was born on the 10th day. Therefore, I was born on March 10.

My love for poetry is expressed by my deep interest in Julius Caesar. As you can see, I also used iambic pentameter on my home page.

The "Irish friendship wish" and my excerpt from Julius Caesar represents my Irish-Italian heritage. The majority of the play takes place in Rome, which is in present-day Italy.

I'd rather not go on; I don't want to reveal too much about myself in plain text! Everything on my homepage has a significance to my personality, characteristics, or private life!

Therefore, I believe that you should stop accusing me of violating your guideline, because it says "Some people add information about themselves as well, possibly including contact information (email, instant messaging, etc), a photograph, their real name, their location, information about their areas of expertise and interest, likes and dislikes, homepages, and so forth. (NB: If you are concerned with privacy, you may not want to emulate this.)" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soothsayer.03 (talk • contribs) 23:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC).

User:Sarvagnya
Need your help in reporting a user whom I feel has shown a distinct Anti-Devanagiri bias. Not sure how to go about it.

Started with this revision: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mangalore&oldid=115127914 and then this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mangalore&oldid=115340201

I indulged in a bit of discussion with User:Sarvagnya on this matter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mangalore#Konkani_name_for_Mangalore Specially refer to my last passage.

After a bit of reserching his contribs I found that he has been going about removing a lot of Devanagri content from some articles. Here are some of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saare_Jahan_Se_Achcha&oldid=115142568 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saare_Jahan_Se_Achcha&oldid=115213447 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saare_Jahan_Se_Achcha&oldid=115090126

This particular set was done within an hour or so: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tripura&oldid=113338236 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manipur&oldid=113337754 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nagaland&oldid=113336964 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meghalaya&oldid=113336582 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mizoram&oldid=113335904

He has also removed the follwing tag: from quite a few pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Reddy_dynasty&oldid=115271309 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Kannada_script&diff=prev&oldid=113463532 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Malayalam_language&oldid=110262080

He has been collaborating with two other users Gnyanpiti and KNM to protect each others edits. I dont have any evidence right now but it seems that all three seem to suddenly get interested in the same article at the same time. May not be sockpuppts but there is definetely some collaboration.

I request you to let me know how to get this user storngly censured so that he doesn't indulge in script fights again .--Deepak D&#39;Souza 09:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Indian caste system
Hello again mate. Thanks for your response. I have changed the article a bit further. We have to keep in mind that the Ashraf-Ajlaf dichotomy did not result from the Ashrafs claiming descent from Muhammad. It is only the Sayyids among the Ashrafs who can do that. Agoras 04:41, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage! All those barnstars were very pretty but I do like my userpage more the way it was without the vandalism ;) Cheers,  Felis  Leo Talk! 09:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my Request for Administration
I'm happy to say that thanks in part to your support, my RfA passed with a unanimous score of 40/0/0. I solemnly swear to use these shiny new tools with honour and insanity integrity. --Wafulz 15:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Help Resolving a conflict
I have read the pages about this on wikipedia and I have came to you because you seem to be a person who knows how wikipedia is supposed to work and are most likely 100% neutral on this matter. I am involved in a rather intense edit war with two other editors of the article Miriam Rivera. In the last days the user User:Jokestress has quite reasonably asked for the article to be backed up with more reliable sources. Well I found them and that seems to have placated her. She has acted in 100% reasonable way in all of this. The problem arises in that she has asked in the spirt of resolving the conflict we were having other people who are not 100% neutral it seems to comment on the matter. These being the user User:Longhair and the userUser:Alison in particular who have not bothered to justify anything that they have done. Longhiar being an admin seems to feel no need to discuss anything and I feel is abusing her powers. Is there anything you can do? --Hfarmer 05:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar
Thanks very much for the Barnstar, but oy, I think I've had enough for one day -- keyboard shortcuts save, but don't entirely remove, fingering stress -- but I'll take another stab at it tomorrow. --Calton | Talk 08:05, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Pic from Flickr
Help me here a bit. Taking a sourced pic of a public personality from flikr by a Rediff reporter is not fair use?

Yeah dude.. have reclassified it as so. Thanks!

note
As a regular contributor to WP:DSI, I was hoping you could weigh in on the category discussions going on related to the page. There are in fact quite a few, and are somewhat stagnant at the moment. Baka  man  18:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hindutva pseudoscience
Turns out it was AFD'd by a sock of hkelkar. Banned users aside, the term still gets a whopping 0 google hits, so it would be prudent to delete this academiocruft. Baka man  15:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Since you commented on the afd, it has been re-Afd'd Articles for deletion/Hindutva pseudoscience (2nd nomination). Baka man  19:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I've dropped a note at User talk:76.188.0.57. If the vandalism continues, I'll block the IP. You can always report vandalism at WP:AIV. utcursch | talk 12:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Oof. I hadnt seen that. quote you found. Ideally it shouldnt matter if the article were really good, but the foolishness of the guy who did it does turn even me off. I still will support important academic mailing lists for articles, but I see that this isnt the one to try. DGG 00:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Jat people
I was thinking perhaps we should listify then delete this cat, per our discussion on WT:INB. Baka man  16:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Aren't Jat considered a caste? If they are we can CFD. But I see your logic supporting the status quo, even though its not really ideal. Might as well focus on bigger things. Baka man  15:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Anthem
You had expressed some interest in the Mashrashata (sp?) anthem page. I came across it during categorization and considered proposing it for deletion but decided to leave notes instead. This page needs some work to avoid being proposed for deletion. It needs a general English translation of the song and some explanation of its importance. Is it an official song of the area? Who is the author? In what circumstances is it sung? Good luck. Scarykitty

Category:Dalit
We shouldnt have bios in there right? Per WP:BLP and per our discussion, "dalit" is more or less an epithet and should only be used to describe dalit movements, sociology, and related things, not to categorize people. Baka man  01:09, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right, in most cases that would be WP:OCAT. utcursch | talk 15:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Michael Charles Smith AfD closing
Hello! I was reviewing the Articles for deletion log for the Michael Charles Smith AfD discussion. Your stated reason for closing was "...The issue here is not whether this is self-promotion or not -- the issue is lack of multiple non-trivial mentions from independent sources."

I'm a little concerned about the debate being closed on this issue. There are several people that were calling for deletion, but some for reasons other than what you said was the Wikipedia Policy behind the closing. Several other established editors felt the article should be kept or merged. I don't have a personal stake in this discussion (unlike the candidate himself who's first and third-person involvement in the discussion was perhaps a bit distasteful). I wasn't involved beyond my one comment, but I'm not sure that consensus was reached in the discussion. Can you let me know what you think? Thanks, Scienter 14:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I have created a stub for pune city Pune-geo-stub without first proposing it, eventually I did propose it and now I am struggling to defend it as it is marked for deletion. Please visit Stub types for deletion/Log/2007/March/30 and help me out, If you think you should.
