There is a minor dispute over this article. Would be great if you could mediate or get someone else to. Thanks- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 02:15, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll look  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 00:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. We are working to clean the article. Hopefully, a consensus may be arrived at soon. I would suggest a semi protection once the matter is settled.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 10:14, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

"Will in China"
Remember how you said Ekky's friend User:Will in China from Tor was long gone, or stale from way back? That turns out not to be the case.

I also see some odd behavior from IPs starting with 86, some but not all starting 86.69.135. Dan (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * So where is he?  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 00:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, probably Tor (anonymity network), but if you meant here then he's on Thelema and related articles. He just restored one of Ekky's edits again, at Heru-ra-ha. Dan (talk) 03:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I think what you've done with this rather obscure (and slightly smarmy-sounding) chap is brilliant. As ever. On a related topic, what in your view now needs to be done to the main Australian cricket team in England in 1948 article to raise that to a higher standard? I keep thinking I'm going to get more time to be helpful, but then it disappears under RL workload again. But that's one of the ones that I could perhaps be tinkering with in the spare moments.

Re:Yousaf
RFA??? He!He! That's funny, indeed! He's gonna repent a lot for making such a decision.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 07:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well he's given himself a barnstar, and I then thought things couldn't even get more bizarre.  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 09:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I misunderstood the message. He hasn't gone for RfA yet. Yeah, I saw that barnstar. Looks funny, indeed! Maybe, this is an extreme case of exercising ownership over one's userpage.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 16:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Well if he is going to spend time on politics, saves everyone else from having to revert his POV pushing.  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 01:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Decrement?
I just noticed this, which removed Premiere (The O.C.) from the list along with a number of other FAs. It was promoted by Sandy a few days ago, but your edit summary said something about "decrement". Has there been something to cause it to re-evaluated. If so, as the primary editor and nominator, it would have been nice to be kept in the loop.  Rambo's   Revenge   (How am I doing?)   10:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't know how I managed to chop all that off!!  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 01:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That is quite alright. Also (I could be wrong) but I think the tally needs updating too as it went down but not back up. Best wishes and a belated congratulations on your appointment,  Rambo's   Revenge   (How am I doing?)   14:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Email
I emailed you about a checkuser matter yesterday, I don't know if you recieved it, so just letting you know on the talk page. Thanks Secret account 12:01, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Amdo
Hi, I see you reverted my changes to the Amdo page. I am currently trying to research this subject more and I think that the whole article needs an overhaul, hence I tried to break up the history sections to make it easier to research time periods and removed the section which was actually about the history of Qinghai. I have noted all this in the discussion pages. Are you interested in researching this topic also? --Anythingpossible (talk) 07:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Not really, no.  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 00:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Vietnam
Great I'm steadily ploughing through adding pop and references for the moment. I've got us a new pin location map for Vietnam -out with the old CIA map. I'll gradually make us district locator maps too. If you could gradually work through them and remove the translation tags once done this would be great.

 * Great  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 00:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you unlock Dư­ơng Quang, Nông Th­ượng and Xuất Hóa. Have no idea why they are locked. Dr. Blofeld      White cat 19:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The log says that they have never been locked.  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 00:40, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Very odd. It says this on all of them:

Could you please ...
take a look at 's outlandish conjectures about me on User_talk:SandyGeorgia? Among, other things, he seems to be slighting the people of Mumbai there.

This guy User:ShivNarayanan has no work to do other than starting such sockpuppet investigations.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 17:11, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Noted. Seems pointless.  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 00:40, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

FAR closures
Just as an FYI I usually try to close FARCs only on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The reasoning for this is that the Gimmetrow bot which archives the FARs and updates the articles (removing FA star, updating talk page templates, etc) only runs on those days. Sandy also follows this schedule on FACs. Joelito (talk) 20:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Reg. Sock case
In, you have added that from past data Ravichandar84 is unrelated to other users. Could you elaborate on this? Apart from Wiki_Raja, has a check user or a sock case ever filed against the other users? ShivNarayanan (talk) 01:00, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, but in previously chacking other vandals on the various ranges, some of the established users came up, and not together with Ravichandar.  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 02:52, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks a lot! It seems too stupid. I have been here for 3 years and I've contributed a fair number of articles to the project. I had earlier tagged Kallar article for lack of references. But when User:Tamilvendan contacted me in my talkpage and expressed his willingness to cooperate in cleaning the article, I removed the tag assuming good faith. I visited Talk:Kallar and expressed my opinion on the necessity of more sources and awarded a barnstar to User:ShivNarayanan for insisting on reliable sources for the article. This was way back in early March. Since then, I haven't made any edits to the article or talkpage. Yesterday, I suddenly found a message from User:ShivNarayanan saying that he did not want my barnstar. When I investigated, I found that User:Shivnarayanan had, all of a sudden, deleted the barnstar from his talkpage and had filed an RFCU against me. He has also been responsible for such ridiculous behaviour in the past. I do not know if this is some kind of publicity stunt! But I had not able to sleep the whole night. You see, the range 59.*.*.* is provided by Indian government-owned BSNL Broadband connection and more than half of India's internet population uses a BSNL connection.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 02:43, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I should make Checkusers conditional on people voting in the photo poll :)  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! ) 03:34, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It may not be Bake, but User:ShivNarayanan appears to be a single purpose account most of whose edits (I guess it should be about 90%) have been to caste-related articles. He has 1000-odd edits and his not6ed contributions to this project has been to start ridiculous RFCUs every now and then. He had earlier started an RFCU against User:Sureshmaran and now, me. There has also been frequent assumption of bad faith by him that I doubt if he is here to contribute anything constructive.- The Enforcer Office of the secret service 11:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, well that doesn;t fall under socking of course. If he is abusing the article he can be dealt with normally.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 01:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Tippecanoe
Hello, Battle of Tippecanoe, an article I recently placed for an A class review was supported by three editors to receive A class status. I am not a member of MilHist and unfamiliar with the the procedure - can I now give the article a MilHist A class rating, or is there a formal process for this that will occur? Any help would be appreciated. :) Charles Edward (Talk) 00:56, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support for me in the Military History coordinator elections. I am honored that I was elected to my new position of assistant coordinator, and hope that I can fulfill the trust placed in me by the community. – Joe   N  01:31, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
