I confirm that I am commons user Arjun. ~ Arjun 18:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey Arjun,
I know the actress in Chapter 27, and she defines her part as "European prostitute." Sorry if I offended you - just trying to keep things as close to truth as possible.
S
Arjun, are you a member of the League of Copyeditors? If so, how can I submit an article for proofreading? I want to submit Dreamgirls (film) to an FA. Real96 05:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Arjun01:
I asked for permission from Darius Kadivar the writer of the article I used for French section. He just replied me:
Yes please go ahead but please refer to my name in the publication.
I will be updating the article in a future publication I hope for payvand with new additions for instance Darius Khondji who is also half French.
I am very happy that you came across my article.
warm Regards and stay in touch.

Thank you for unprotecting Christianity. Vassyana 18:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you were the admin who rm'd the Semi-protect off of the Terry Kath article so I thought I would bring this to your attention. I caught, what I thought, was a mass edit on the article but, after reviewing the article history, it turned out the article was being rv'd back to a version several months old. These rv's are being done by an IP range that has a lengthy history of edit wars and vandalism on the article. The IP is a dynamic but always beginning with 128.100.X.X. I have rv'd it twice already and can only do that 1 more time before I have to bow out. If you can check in on it could you make sure the article is left in it's most current state, 1 edit prior to the 128 intrusion. Maybe the semi-protect needs to go back on if this abusive editor intends on persistent attacks? Thanks. Good day! 216.21.150.44 02:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
It's been a week since my recent request for adminship passed, and since I haven't managed to delete the Main Page - yet - I figure it's safe to send these out.

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that buffoon at IP address 209.91.134.87 ( User talk:209.91.134.87) has resumed vandalizing Wikipedia. The article in question is Robot Battle.
Hey Arjun, I need you to block this IP for repeated userpage vandalism. He / she also responded very quickly with foul language. It's a good thing I'm used to that now. -- Ryan I'm Back! 13:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
It is getting better. I like how you made them black and white (was that with the camera, or an editor?). I think the best picture you have there is the candy, since you have just about everything packed into one picture. Besides, candy is good for your health... sort of. :) One tip that I could give you would have come in handy in the water-fountain image: when you're using flash against a reflective substance (such as wood, or in this case paint), take the picture at a slight angle (whether vertically or horizontally is your choice), to avoid the flash bouncing back to the camera, and appearing as blown highlights. Also, you might want to read up a bit here, they have some really useful tips. · AO Talk 02:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

If you haven't already, would you please check in with the current discussion? The !votes/opinions from the first discussion, althought noted at the top, are not being counted in the current tally. It would be great if you would also weigh in on your preference of graphic design from among the choices (currently eight different images, the last being added at around 15:23, Thursday, 1 March 2007). If you !vote, please update the tally near the top of the discussion. Thanks. -- Pigman Talk to me 21:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Arjun. I'm just mooching along here to say thanks for your emphatic support at my RfA. Now, you say you thought I already was one; I didn't realise you were none other than the salty ol' Seadog until the realisation hit me like a ton of bricks – otherwise I would have approved you at yours much sooner! Seriously, though, I am honoured that an editor of your good standing thinks that I am worthy and... well, I think I've made it clear. Where's the work at? Got some mopping to do. :) P.S. Forget stealing your talk page format, I might steal your user page format! Bubba hotep 21:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

My goal here at wikipedia is going to be to try to make it a better place. One "trend" I am trying to start is you leave a nice comment that is meant to uplift someone on there talk page, and tell them to go to others and write something positive about them. Wikipedia is a tough place to be and that is why I pretty much left for a month. Here it goes, I think that you are a very friendly editor. Now pass on a comment to someone else. God bless. -- James, La gloria è a dio 03:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Arjun; how's things? anthony[ cfc 19:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Arjun
I know we haven't worked on any article together, but I've seen you all over WP. We bumped into each other once - your signature page, I was the lucky winner :P remember?
Well, I had a request - what do you believe would happen if I self-nominated myself on RfA?
I know theres admin-coaching to do these things, but I just wanted your opinion. I've seen a lot of your work, and I came across an RfA (dont remember the candidates name now,sorry) where you supported the candidate but also noted that lack of experience would probably mean he wouldnt get it. I felt that was a very nice thing to say, supporting an editor when the rest blew him off as an over-ambitious newbie.
I'd like to clarify - adminship isn't a big deal to me, even Jimbo says thats "becoming a sys-op is no big deal". I was just looking for some ways to help with the maintainence part of WP. I know very well the sort of backlog the admins have to deal with, and being a regular RC patroller, I know what sort of vandalism the project has to fight on a daily basis.
I'm proud of my work on WP:PM - that list was three times the size before I started work on it. I could help on WP:AIV, and WP:CSD. Many times during RC patrol, I'll find a vandal messing with a page, and after reverting and warning multiple times, the vandal gets blocked from someone looking at AIV. But this usually takes time. The damage done to the page is easily reverted, but by protecting the page (or semi-protect) we could minimise the disruption. I wanted to help there.
I haven't worked on any FA, as such. I'm working on Biasing (electronics), hope to bring that up. I've got competitive exams going on, so its hard to devote much time to article-writing. Instead, I vandal-whack in my free time. Strange hobby, I'm sure some of my friends would say, but anyway...
I apologize if all this seems out of the blue. You were a familiar name, and seemed friendly, so I thought I'd bounce this idea off you. I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks a ton
Cheers!

Thanks Arjun for protecting Swadhyay Parivar. In fact, if the article has to be on Wikipedia it must be with the facts of criminalisation else it has to go from Wikipedia. It can not be allowed to falsely glorify and project it's image.
Thanks once again,
Swadhyayee.
You don't mind if Wooyi nominates me, do you? After all, he was the first to consider it. He seems real eager to do it. Perhaps you could do that co-nom thing (I don't know really, I'm just so dumbstruck right now). Thank you, Arjun. You are one of the great editors who have helped me to become a better editor, and to help me to pluck up some courage to say yes to a nomination. :D Tohru Honda13 02:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey Arjun! Please remove Tohru Honda's admin nom from the RFA page, she has indicated in my talk page that she does not wish her RFA page to be transcluded until she work more on it tommorrow. Thanks! Here is what she posted on my talk page:
And because of the transclusion, User:SUIT apparently thought her answers were final and changed his vote from support to neutral. Alas! So please de-transclude it before she work on those answers tomorrow.

If you can check in on it could you make sure the article is left in it's most current state, 1 edit prior to the 128 intrusion. Maybe the semi-protect needs to go back on if this abusive editor intends on persistent attacks? Thanks. Good day! 216.21.150.44 02:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for semi-protecting the page. It's been awfully quiet since.

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know that buffoon at IP address 209.91.134.87 ( User talk:209.91.134.87) has resumed vandalizing Wikipedia. The article in question is Robot Battle.
Hey Arjun, I need you to block this IP for repeated userpage vandalism. He / she also responded very quickly with foul language. It's a good thing I'm used to that now. -- Ryan I'm Back! 13:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
It is getting better. I like how you made them black and white (was that with the camera, or an editor?). I think the best picture you have there is the candy, since you have just about everything packed into one picture. Besides, candy is good for your health... sort of. :) One tip that I could give you would have come in handy in the water-fountain image: when you're using flash against a reflective substance (such as wood, or in this case paint), take the picture at a slight angle (whether vertically or horizontally is your choice), to avoid the flash bouncing back to the camera, and appearing as blown highlights. Also, you might want to read up a bit here, they have some really useful tips. · AO Talk 02:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

If you haven't already, would you please check in with the current discussion? The !votes/opinions from the first discussion, althought noted at the top, are not being counted in the current tally. It would be great if you would also weigh in on your preference of graphic design from among the choices (currently eight different images, the last being added at around 15:23, Thursday, 1 March 2007). If you !vote, please update the tally near the top of the discussion. Thanks. -- Pigman Talk to me 21:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Arjun. I'm just mooching along here to say thanks for your emphatic support at my RfA. Now, you say you thought I already was one; I didn't realise you were none other than the salty ol' Seadog until the realisation hit me like a ton of bricks – otherwise I would have approved you at yours much sooner! Seriously, though, I am honoured that an editor of your good standing thinks that I am worthy and... well, I think I've made it clear. Where's the work at? Got some mopping to do. :) P.S. Forget stealing your talk page format, I might steal your user page format! Bubba hotep 21:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

My goal here at wikipedia is going to be to try to make it a better place. One "trend" I am trying to start is you leave a nice comment that is meant to uplift someone on there talk page, and tell them to go to others and write something positive about them. Wikipedia is a tough place to be and that is why I pretty much left for a month. Here it goes, I think that you are a very friendly editor. Now pass on a comment to someone else. God bless. -- James, La gloria è a dio 03:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Arjun; how's things? anthony[ cfc 19:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Arjun
I know we haven't worked on any article together, but I've seen you all over WP. We bumped into each other once - your signature page, I was the lucky winner :P remember?
Well, I had a request - what do you believe would happen if I self-nominated myself on RfA?
I know theres admin-coaching to do these things, but I just wanted your opinion. I've seen a lot of your work, and I came across an RfA (dont remember the candidates name now,sorry) where you supported the candidate but also noted that lack of experience would probably mean he wouldnt get it. I felt that was a very nice thing to say, supporting an editor when the rest blew him off as an over-ambitious newbie.
I'd like to clarify - adminship isn't a big deal to me, even Jimbo says thats "becoming a sys-op is no big deal". I was just looking for some ways to help with the maintainence part of WP. I know very well the sort of backlog the admins have to deal with, and being a regular RC patroller, I know what sort of vandalism the project has to fight on a daily basis.
I'm proud of my work on WP:PM - that list was three times the size before I started work on it. I could help on WP:AIV, and WP:CSD. Many times during RC patrol, I'll find a vandal messing with a page, and after reverting and warning multiple times, the vandal gets blocked from someone looking at AIV. But this usually takes time. The damage done to the page is easily reverted, but by protecting the page (or semi-protect) we could minimise the disruption. I wanted to help there.
I haven't worked on any FA, as such. I'm working on Biasing (electronics), hope to bring that up. I've got competitive exams going on, so its hard to devote much time to article-writing. Instead, I vandal-whack in my free time. Strange hobby, I'm sure some of my friends would say, but anyway...
I apologize if all this seems out of the blue. You were a familiar name, and seemed friendly, so I thought I'd bounce this idea off you. I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks a ton
Cheers!

Thanks Arjun for protecting Swadhyay Parivar. In fact, if the article has to be on Wikipedia it must be with the facts of criminalisation else it has to go from Wikipedia. It can not be allowed to falsely glorify and project it's image.
Thanks once again,
Swadhyayee.
You don't mind if Wooyi nominates me, do you? After all, he was the first to consider it. He seems real eager to do it. Perhaps you could do that co-nom thing (I don't know really, I'm just so dumbstruck right now). Thank you, Arjun.
