Cut Ponting to just 149kb ... lol. Removed jargon that's unnecessary.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 05:53, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

What's the bet it's like the last couple of years. Also, snooping through random talk pages and noticed that Mattisse claims John the bookmaker controversy in her FA page. Very strange considering she reviewed the GAN and supported the FAC.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 02:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That might be a good thing for Australia maybe. Mattisse copyedited the article a lot  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 15:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Arjun024. Seems to have ovelapped on Vande MAtaram  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 15:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * But Arjun024 isn't blocked, if Jamesbose4u is a sock, shouldn't be be blocking Arjun024? Socking isn't exactly illegal. Dougweller (talk) 15:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Legal, you meant.... Sorry, I was absent minded again, as is often the case. How many days?  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 13:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Suggest unprotection of Indo-Pakistani War of 1971
You protected this article indefinitely back in March. Doesn't appear to be particularly prone to vandalism - your protection was only the second protection of the article ever. Might I suggest unprotecting it? -Lilac Soul (Talk • Contribs) • I'm watching this page so just reply to me right here! 21:04, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I blocked it because of Nangparbat  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * good idea to keep it protected as long as nangparbat is active.Wikireader41 (talk) 04:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell from WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Nangparbat/Archive, there hasn't been any reported activity from this user since May. -Lilac Soul (Talk • Contribs) 20:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

mostly he uses his well known IP range so there is no need to make a CU request, as the IP range is well known. It's also very wide and used by many people. That's why nobody bothers to do CU and they normally just report the pages to some admins who then lock it.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, seems like you're right in keeping the article on lockdown, then. Thanks for your hard work on Wikipedia and for taking the time to answer my suggestion. Merry Christmas, Hanukkah or whatever else you yourself might celebrate this time of year! -Lilac Soul (Talk • Contribs) 10:35, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

National Reconciliation Ordinance
I saw your oppose at ITN for this article. made several improvements and added several citations. feel it being declared unconstitutional is a landmark event in Pakistan's continued free fall into chaos.Wikireader41 (talk) 04:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It's up now. Anyway, corruption doesn't necessarily mean chaos. corruption is the norm all over Asia, and many countries in Asia are ruled with an iron fist  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Early life of Ricky Ponting
If you get the time could you spot the punctuation errors please. Shouldn't be too hard ... Talk:Early life of Ricky Ponting/GA1.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 08:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure thing  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 13:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Would have been amusing if Steve Smith played  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 04:01, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will go through comments later.  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me!
 * Thanks for picking up the silly errors. Ponting only has two siblings, while he was 14 when he hurt his arm. Interesting that it was his right arm....  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 07:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Why intersteing?  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Crazy... Over at User:Aaroncrick/Ricky Ponting in the 2009–10 Australian cricket season if you put SMH into italics it shows up without italics, despite being in italics without the manual tweaking. Cricinfo appears in italics - something to do with the publisher and work field. I don't understand though - do you know?  Aaroncrick  ( talk )  Review me! 07:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Work is automatically italicised, so utting italics in manually will invert it to plain.  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

GA Review
Hi, could you tell me which version of Basketball Association of America you failed? Your original quick fail comment was nov 6, but it was expanded Nov 9 and everything was closed on Nov 10 without anyone seemingly commenting on the expansion. Before I move forward with this, I just want to know which version you were considering, thanks.--Crossmr (talk) 02:33, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I thought I removed it immediately when I left my comments on Nov 6, a Friday  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 15:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * The ranges have other users, also, he hops on multiple ranges, so a range block might not be a good idea for now. - Spaceman  Spiff  18:30, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

the last time I did it I got complaints from other collateral victims, and he flies all over the place. As for the talk page, just ignore him, there's no need to lock unless he tricks an unacquainted third party into thinking he is an eligible participant  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * For straight typing it's ok but for things like tables and patterns it's pretty annoying with the cut and paste, especially when it scrolls about by itself; I havne't worked out how to curb it's enthusiasm yet  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 13:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Your Noble Action Is requested
Dear Respected Administrator. You appear to be managing Carnatic Music and/or and/or Purandara Dasa, and/or Ugaboga articles.

Without discussion the original position of Purandara Dasa photo was replaced with a non-human photo with no RS. Based on information posted already by different editors of Wikipedia following are references.


 * 1) Dr. Piero Scaruffi (international author on music books) in the article A Summary on Indian Music: 'The founder of Karnataka style is considered to be Purandara Daasa'. :
 * 2) Prof VSS Rao- 'Shri Puradara Daasa is known as the pra-pithamaha (founder) of modern Carnatic classical music.'
 * 3) Shri P.N.Krishnamoorthy – Director. The Sangeetha Vidyalaya 'Purandara Dasa (1484 - 1584) can be said to be the principal founder of the Carnatic system as we know it today.'
 * 4) Kamat Research Database : 'The Father of Carnatic Music Composer Purandaradasa (15/16th Century) was a great literary and musical genius.
 * 5) Independent group: 'Shri Purandara Daasa is known as the pra-pithamaha (founder) of modern Carnatic classical music.'
 * 6) In the book 'MS – A Life in Music' by TJS George. New Delhi: HarperCollins, 2005 (4th Impression).-ISBN 81-7223-527-5. '... the development of Carnatic music from the times of Purandara Dasa (1480-1564), considered to be the father of the genre' (see [Music genre])

All wikipedia editors of Carnatic Music have unanimously agreed that Purandara Dasa is Pitamaha ( meaning father in Kannada ) of Carnatic Music. In English to call someone the "father" of something means he created it, not merely enhanced it or popularized it. Therefore Purandara Dasa is  called either the creator or inventor or founder of todays Carnatic Music (Aka Karnataka Music). The editor responded to RFC also concluded the same.

PN. I am not Naadapriya but followed above articles since many years. Please change the above three articles to the original status before the current sole owner Ncmvocalist have changed them with out discussions. So far several attempted correct it but they were all tainted with sock puppetry.

Your noble action as an Administrator of highly respected Wikipedia will make Wikipedia still a better place for all of us live, particularly users like me who help children to use wikipedia. FROM A MULTI_USER COMPUTER SYSTEM76.212.15.89 (talk) 05:18, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * YM, discussion on my talk page too. - Spaceman  Spiff  16:59, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Just curious how did you find this out?. Also why only YM, SS and RP Admns are supporting POV of Ncmvocalist. It will help for new comers to understand the back ground. Thanks. NOT NAADAPRIYA76.212.11.35 (talk) 17:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This is a waste of time  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Respected Administrator YM: If you think it is waste of time to post correct information, then why are you here?. You are spending time in protecting articles soon after Tamil editors such as Ncmvocalist,  Wikiality123, Pearl’sson etc post their POV  in articles related to Kannada.  Please explain your reasons.76.192.201.42 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 06:48, 17 December 2009 (UTC).

Well ask for an unban  YellowMonkey  ( bananabucket ) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 21:50, 17 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Respected Admn: I requested from you the reason why you protect articles soon after Tamil group post their POV. At least there are 3 to 4 occurrences. Hope I get an answer for it before you or some friend of Tamil group blocks me. 75.62.177.138 (talk) 06:58, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
