spam links
Hello Monkey, question for you: can you add [Link removed by YellowMonkey during archiving as spam blacklist objects] to the "XLinkBot/RevertList"? I've been discussing an issue with RegentsPark; the relevant links and RP's advice is found here, User_talk:RegentsPark, if you don't mind my redirecting you. Any other thoughts you have are welcome also--page protection for the relevant pages is a bit too much, I think, and there's a whole bunch of IPs at work; see RP's comments on his talk. Thanks in advance for your help, Drmies (talk) 16:36, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Pakistani Textbooks
came across this interesting article on Indophobia bred in Pakistans Public schools (not justmadrassahs mind you). helps understand pakistani editors deep rooted POV against Indians. The subtle subversion. Interesting and thought provoking excerpt. 'Children are presently taught Pakistan Studies as a replacement for the teaching of history and geography as fullfledged disciplines. In the first 25 years of Pakistan, this was not the case. Children at that time were taught the very early history of South Asia, including pre-historic times. The books described in detail the ancient religious mythology of this region, the early great Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms of the Mauriyas and the Guptas, the Muslim conquests and establishment of Muslim sultanates in North India. This long historical perspective of our region is absent in more recent textbooks. Instead, children are now taught that the history of Pakistan starts from the day the first Muslim set foot in India.'

another excerpt 'Madrassas in Pakistan have recently been a focus of world attention for creating this kind of exclusionary and sectarian worldview. The religious education mixed with militancy is supposed to be the deadly mix, giving rise to the narrow vision that breeds hate and irrationality and results in the international jehad. This however is not entirely true. Madrassas are not the only institutions breeding hate, intolerance, a distorted worldview, etc. The educational material in the government run schools do much more than madrassas. The textbooks tell lies, create hatred, inculcates militancy, and much more.'

 * WR please try and assume good faith here towards fellow editors, you seem to believe that "pakistani editors [have] deep rooted POV against Indians." this is no more true than saying "Indian editors have deep rooted POV against Pakistanis" and would it be correct to claim the later is true by pointing this out?

 * The one on the FAC or at WT:CRIC about Bodyline not being great? In any case I started copying in from Woodfull's article.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 05:24, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * At the FAC about needing more background about the Test. If ever a Test deserved an article, that one does. Good work on the expansion. Eventually, I would like to get to something like the "Progress of play" section in Second Test, 2007–08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I borrowed a book called "Bodyline Umpire" by Whitington in the last week so I can expand it if you want. I guess I could get to Bodyline Autopsy later; because I can't borrow it, it would be easier to build around a book that I can borrow. That's the only reason why I use Perry, because of accessbility; then I go to the state library and copy in better cites from the book that he plagiarised from but which I don't have next to me.

Gulzar is the only person and the only subject who is referred to simply and plainly by that - Gulzar. And that's how it used to be for a long time, until someone moved it to his full name a few months back (which is not good, as his stage name is simply Gulzar), and it was moved afterwards to a very improper title, Gulzar (lyricist), because is recognised for all the fields of his work, both writing or filmmaking.

Now Gulzar is a redirect of Gulzar (disambiguation). I request you to move Gulzar (lyricist) to simply Gulzar. Shahid •  Talk 2 me  17:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 02:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't Gulzar be the main page as the dab page? There are a lot of towns in Pakistan called Gulzar. Sure they have extra stuff after about the states, but most people looking for a place will just do the normal thing without entering in the state.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 03:41, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * But Gulzar is the only person and the only subject of the list who is widely referred to simply and plainly by Gulzar. It was moved without any reason. We can add "other uses" on the top of the page. Even if you make a google search, you will see that most of the hits refer to him. He is certainly the most notable subject of this name. Additionally, he is not only a lyricist, but also an equally recognised director and writer, and we cannot use his full name as it is never used. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  11:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Indian jurisdiction box pin
Hi. Can you replace the current red blob of tomato ketchup we have with a standard File:Red pog.svg (at 64 px it looks like the planet Mars though LOL) and perhaps shrink the size of it to 8-9px or so. A decent sizedand type of pin would look much better in the Indian boxes. If there are any complaints about the change I bear the responsibility. The pin should then look like the pin on Tehran for example. I was responsible for the original change to a more standard appearance and so far it seems to have been accepted.

Western Melbourne

 * Did you mean Footscray. In my opinion it isn't safe in the middle of the day... YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 01:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I grew up in the the outer west but had to catch connecting trains, buses etc. at Sunshine, St Albans, Footscray etc. It was scary then even, as you say, in the middle of the day and from all accounts it has gotten worse. This general level of crime is the main reason I am loathe to ascribe racism to the major motive in the attacks; robbery seems the much more likely motive. Regardless of ethnicity, walking around these areas alone, at night and with visible attractive items such as iPods etc. is setting oneself up to be violently attacked and robbed.

Indian students tend to be poor and thus live in areas with cheap rent (i.e. in general, high crime areas) and work in unattractive jobs prone to violence and robbery such as console attendants and taxi drivers; therefore they are disproportionately likely to be subject to attack. If the Police did their job and actually actively policed these areas, the level of crime would fall and people of all racial backgrounds in the area would be safer. Unfortunately, state governments of both persuasions basically ignore the safe Labor western suburbs and throw their time and resources into the leafy east. :-( -- Mattinbgn\talk 04:30, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I should actually revise my comment and say that Footscray isn't safe in the middle of the day even for a group of 5-6 people. As for Springvale, Victoria where some of the recent attacks happened, there was a notorious murder there in 1996 and was on that Channel 9 TV murder doco show with Steve Liebmann (I think it was organised crime) a couple of enforcers came in and bundled another guy off in the middle of the day and eventually a headless body was found in a nearby drain. As for western Sydney, it's completely dreadful, I arrived at Liverpool train station with my sister and the person who was to pick us up was late.... even in the middle of the day about 60% of the people milling around there were wearing gangster-rapper style clothes and haircuts and looked as though they were looking for some fight/drug deal or some other illegal thing. It was terrible.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 05:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * As for police being hopeless, see Phap Hoa Temple; the attack happened in the middle of the afternoon and they stood outside and refused to intervene to stop the lone vandal who was armed with a crowbar (and ordered people to not do vigilanteism) until he had spent 3 hours demolishing everything and got his lighter and can of petrol out....As for the vandal, he's lucky.... some other groups of people would have brushed aside the 2-3 police officers and killed the guy with knives and sticks and whatever.  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 05:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes ALP voters are hopeless so the pollies never do anything for them! Because the ALP voters always think that the ALP cares for them. It's quite amazing how Vietnamese people are always so strong about being anti-communist and all that, and then 90% of them vote for Gough Whitlam the VC supporter's party.....  YellowMonkey  ( cricket calendar poll! ) 06:34, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Interesting to note how in big Australian cities Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane probably the same with Perth/Adelaide the majority of police wear body amour, yet here in Tassie I've never seen an officer in any sort of amour. It takes a bit of getting used to at first when you see the police in large cities your under the impression of something not right.  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 05:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They don't generally come with body armour unless there is a known hostage type standoff or a pre-medidated raid on drug factories and gangster meetups. Normal patrols no. Personally I don' think people should try and enforce the law in Lakemba to unless martial law is declared.

 * Police are very slow at responding here. If you ring them they virtually say we'll come after a cup of coffee. At night the mall has become a very dark and eerie place with lots of bashings/assaults and only two officers will rock up. Luckily I live on the West Tamar which has a lot lower crime rate than across the Eastern side of the city with Mayfield/Mowbray/Newnham/Ravenswood/Rocherlea being fairly ruff and rugged. Buses services in Ravenswood (locally known as Ravo) even got suspended. If you check out the ABC headlines for Ravenswood there is only stories on murder/fires/vandalism But after all this, when I occasionally go up there for tennis, police are non existent.

 * Surely not in Adelaide?  Aaroncrick (Tassie Boy talk) 06:39, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Although I do live in a diehard ALP stronghold so the behaviour is hardly unusual. I was standing at the bus stop at the shopping centre and a swaggering young fellow came along and loudly propositioned these two teenage girls. EVeryone within 20m could hear it.

Your comments
Over here I saw that you labelled me as a "religious extremist." I am totally disgusted by your comments and I request that you take such an appalling statement back wherever you even thought about saying it. As an admin I thought you'd at least have some sense of what you're saying. I am leaving Wikipedia now, for the sake of formality but your comment of labelling me a religous extremist has gone too far. By confirming someone a sockpuppet as an admin on Wikipedia is your job, but your accusation has gone beyond the point - now you've openly ranted on religous grounds and hate speech.
