Hi Arjun,
Just wondering if you would be willing to reconsider your vote on my picture of the Red Sand Garden in FPC as I have fixed the problem with the black strip of pixels which was the reason for your oppose. Thanks, -- jjron 08:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Uhh???....Alex Lifeson is a non-notable guitarist??? I am shocked!!!! He used a Strat through most of the entire 80s decade BTW. Cheers. Anger22 ( Talk 2 22) 21:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Your welcome. Most of my edits anyway are reverting vandalism. But I'm changing that, now I'm copy-editting and cleaning up articles! But I'm still doing alot of vandalism reverting... oh well! It's very deserving. Heh, thanks for replying to my email! XP -- Tohru Honda 13 Sign here! 02:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting the vandalism on the Plasmodium page. Since a lot of parasites spread by the orofaecal route that could have been confusing. - DrMicro
Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. It is my wish that I will continue to deserve your confidence. Sincerely, -- BostonMA talk 19:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I saw Bobby Bolder's last night vandalizing pages. Tonight, there is an edit war going on with User:Norm's user page as well as other edits. I think the level should be increased to yellow (or orange) from US (3 p.m. - 12 a.m. EDT) b/c of school kids getting off from school. Bearly 541 23:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Vote here at Wikipedia:Barnstar and award proposals/New Proposals#Copyeditor's Barnstar, or League of Copyeditors award for the Copyeditor's Barnstar! It's really pretty, and I know it will be approved, but first we need to vote :D -- Tohru Honda 13 Sign here! 01:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I really appreciate your taking the time to consider my RfA. I expanded responses to some of the questions to address some of the concerns you raised. Best, -- Shirahadasha 09:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I really wish I understood the whole fair use thing. What difference does it make what images are used? And if I don't use that image, where can I get an image that is allowed on my page? -- teh tennis man 21:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
That is a good point. However, I have some more specific questions.-- Filll 22:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I hope I do not say anything offensive so please bear with me. I know next to nothing about Hinduism.
Sorry for so many questions. I really know nothing at all and I am just trying to understand.-- Filll 22:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you so much for answering. I hope I did not offend and I do not want to offend in any way shape or form. Permit me to ask a few more questions then:
Roughly what fraction of Hindus would you find who claimed, based on Vedic scriptures or teachings:
It is a fact that in the world almost all the academic literature in English about Hinduism, even by Hindu writers, bears the western influence, and that, none of these books represent the correct view of total authentic Hinduism. Historians forget that one cannot determine the history of Bharatvarsh on meager archaeological findings of coins, toys and pots. Whereas the general history of Bharatvarsh is already written in its scriptures and the Puranas whose texts and the philosophical descriptions are the outcome of the Gracious and benevolent minds of eternal Saints.
In no way could there be any comparison of the western religions (which are based on mythologies) with the Hindu Vedic religion which is eternal, universal and is directly revealed by the supreme God.
Divine writings cannot be analyzed in a material way. How could a worldly being, possessed with the vehemence of his own passions and desires, try to argue with the writings of Sages and Saints whose entire life was a divine benevolence for the souls of the world? You should know that all of our religious writings are Divine facts, and facts always remain facts, they cannot become myths. Using the word myth for our religious history is a serious spiritual transgression.

Your userpage is the best I have ever seen! Ever! Wow, that must have been hard work...I might copy it :D. Cheers and your work on wikipedia is greatly appreciated, keep it up! — Arjun 17:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
The "Hendrix" vandal (IP 68.80.30.39) is back at it on several articles. I'm getting tired of rv'ing his nonsense. If you have time could you roll back his last flurry of vandalism. I test4'd him last night and reported him to AiV. But I got a "passive" admin who was too "nice nice" and let him go. Frustrating! Cheers and take care! Anger22 ( Talk 2 22) 01:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I take a quote from Popeye that fit your last sentence Arjun: "I am what I am, and that's all that I am." Wouldn't you say? -- Tohru Honda 13 Sign here! 04:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I award you this thingie because you are a true friend who has always been there for me. I'm happy that I'm alive when I have friends like you. Which swan are you over there?-- Tohru Honda 13 Sign here! 03:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC) |
Yeah, I've been rockin' out since I was a baby (rather literally, my daddy played metal and hard rock all the time, at which I would dance and head-bang walls...ouch!). I'll go to my public library some time this weekend to look for some books on strat players. Once again, I'm sorry I haven't contributed to the Guitarist Wikiproject. I know I love Guitarists, I just can't find what to do for that project. Copyediting seems to be my only achievement. So, for now, I'll be reverting some vandalism here and there. Hope that's okay. And besides, I've just joined the Sailor Moon WikiProject, and I've been totally absorbed in copyediting an episode article. Matter of fact, I should get to it...I'm determined to copyedit at least one article by myself, then let someone else proofread it. It's pretty tough, but life isn't always easy, I'm told. Well, back to the subject...I'll go the library sometime on the weekend, and I'll root through my personal library for any books related to Strat players. Well, copyedit's a callin'! -- Tohru Honda 13 Sign here! 04:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
You have been invited to help improve the article Sita Ram Goel in this weeks's Hinduism collaboration. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. See also these related articles. [1]
You can also vote for next's week collaboration at the project page: Wikipedia:Hinduism-related Collaboration of the week. Unfortunately, the Collaboration site is little known, that's why the reminder. -- Bondego 14:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I am going to go out on a limb and assume that Fatdoggys edits to the template are in good faith. I think he is a fairly inexpereinced editor who is trying to update the wdefcon template! Feel free to give him some points on why you consider that vandalism. (I think he is trying to update it and does not know how to resign his name or something like that). I have been helping this user a little bit recently and I have no reason to believe he has anything but best of intentions. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
How long would I be blocked? Fattdoggy 18:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I usually like to leave awards on the main page but you did not have an awards section so I left it here. Feel free to move it where you please or even delete if you feel necessary! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey! Thanks for the confidence. I was nominated a little over a month ago and the views were that I was a great editor just needed more expereince. (I.E. there was no snowball oppose or support, the votes were about even). I am not sure If i would have the support of the community. Please let me ask for some feedback from other editors before I either choose to accept or not accept the nomination! Thank you again for the confidence in me. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 19:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, I got your message yesterday. I viewed the discussion but it's too long and needs devotion of more time. I wanted to do some reading about "Swastik" from a book I have and comment but I found the discussion in three-four boxes. I couldn't read it completely and I failed to ack. your message. swadhyayee 02:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
:)No worries! Thanks again for nominating me; I think my RfA gave me some ideas about things to focus on, and being more experienced can never hurt. I hope to reapply in a few months. Have you been thinking about adminship yourself at all? Cheers, Dar- Ape 03:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
I've been thinking about adopting a user, but I have mixed feelings about... what do you think? I'm not experienced, but an average editor I guess. :( -- Tohru Honda Sign here! 06:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out that extra table. Some time ago I was trying to fix the colors on them (which I couldn't). So, thanks again! Did you know any bands/artists in that list?-- Tohru Honda Sign here! 21:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
