Hi Bhadaniji - As you said that you are studying the proposal, I ask for your help in making this a practical, realistic solution and correcting its problems. You are an experienced administrator, and I definitely need an administrator's input. I will immediately incorporate any suggestions you give that can make this a workable policy. I honestly feel that this is a good idea, but to build a consensus, I need your help. Rama's Arrow 16:32, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for voting on my RfA, it passed with a final tally of 68/0/0 so I'm now an administrator. If there's anything I can do to help, you feel I've done something wrong, or there's just something you want to tell, don't hesitate to use my talk page. Thanks. - Bobet 10:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadani, thank you for your queries on the nomination page. I left a response for you at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Idleguy. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 06:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Could you please see the article Bagha Jatin and its talk page (and also the history) ? Some disputes going on that page.See if you can comment and mediate.Thank you.-- Dwaipayanc 08:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
...for your and Rama's support on my adminship. I personally don't see it as a war for adminship. I rather view it as another interesting phase with editors (some I have hardly met or interacted with before) expressing their views, both for and against me. I think that if a person is judged on what transpired in the past then I'm afraid if I run for the post even after 1 year, the situation wouldn't change. Interestingly, atleast one editor who voted oppose - Anonymous editor - was accused of serious abuses and POV warring against other editors (more serious than mine) during his first unsuccessful nomination for adminship and just 2 months later his past deeds were forgotten. My incidents took place 3-4 months back and yet a sizeable number of the editors have voted negatively. Hmmm....
So my take on this is that irrespective of what changes you make, when you stand for adminship for the first time you are odds on favourite to lose - unless one is goody goody or is involved in editing humdrum articles - then come back to win the second time around. The second time you are forgiven even within weeks, but if one makes changes the first time itself, it is seen as suspect. And I've seen this happen on more than a couple of times, so I'm not making any pessimistic statements. I've observed this even in real life. My odds of winning right now are as good as Scotland lifting the Cricket World cup :P , but since you guys want the nomination to continue, we'll see. But more than adminship, it's the thrill of editing Wikipedia that I am here for. Cheers. Idleguy 03:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Below is appended my greetings being sent to some of the fellow wikipedians on the occasion of Holi:
Hi, I am wishing you a happy Holi, the unique Hindu celebration of color and brotherhood among all members of the humanity. The festival falls on 15th March 2006. I have collected A Gift Pack of Quotationsfor you contained in the sections DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY and SOMETHING MORE, which are part of the on-going discussion pertaining to my nomination of Idleguy for adminship. You are aware of the tradition that if you throw colored water on flames of burning Holika, you enable a Prahlad to emerge from the flames!!! I again convey Holi greetings to you and your family!!! -- Bhadani 14:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm stepping in to mediate the dispute between you and AE. Let's cut out the drama here as it won't be doing any good to anyone, or the project. Firstly, rest assured, I know your intentions of the Holi greetings were noble, but they were horribly mismatched and mistimed. This is what AE was trying to raise, but he did not tactfully do it, and you misunderstood him.
Please reconsider leaving, it is not a personal attack, its just a round of misunderstood words. I shall speak to AE soon. Also, I suggest that you do not reply to further posts on the RFA, let Idleguy handle fight the matter for the community to judge him.
Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadaniji, I know you are angry at AE and frustrated with Wikipedia's functioning problems, but you are the last person I ever thought would throw in the towel. Please don't go - this would be a very serious loss indeed for all of us.
I support you - I don't believe you did anything wrong (and definitely that you never desired to do anything illegitimate). Life always questions and pokes at the most important and emotional issues to each of us, and its pure courage to keep living despite any/all provocation. Rabindranath Tagore told Gandhi that even if nobody listened to him or followed his ideas, he should stick at it himself. Gandhi did not leave despite having literally millions of opponents. So why should AE or anybody else cause you to leave?
Its never acceptable to back down from what one loves to do or believes in. Even if you are completely ostracized, never quit. Please calm down and know that you are the most highly-respected Indian on Wikipedia - the captain of our ship. Rama's Arrow 18:38, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Of course, I strongly agree with Rama's Arrow and Ragib. There's no doubt on the very high respect you command. deeptrivia ( talk) 19:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Just thought I should share this here:
deeptrivia ( talk) 04:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't expect you to react so strongly. Perhaps things got heated up in the Idleguy's RfA. Roses are beautiful, but this doesn't mean we hug them because then the thorns will start hurting us. This is quite similar to human relations. You got so much involved in the RfA that it started hurting you. Sometimes it is advisable to see the roses from the distance. They are targeting one Idleguy, but you have the potential of making a thousand. Look around...there are people like us who are there looking for your help. There is a difference in the job of the gardener and the florist. The gardener tends and cares for the roses to make them fit for the best bouquet, while the florist arranges them to look perfect. Adminship is akin to the job of gardener while RfA voting is akin to florist. I strongly believe that you are a gardener first. You have the job of helping buds like us to become the best roses.
I can describe RfA as best this "काजल की कोठरी". Howsoever good a person is, someone is bound to try and make him/her dirty.
You have to take the decision whether you want Wikipedia, or you want politics. I am sure you will choose Wikipedia. Wikipedia has something known as Wikignome who are people working tirelessly to make things better without clamouring for attention. But I believe that we all at Wikipedia are gnomes in the sense that 99% of the people who read our work won't care to find out who wrote it. Fitting as it sounds, we all should actually work as gnomes. Take my advice, and start working for the betterment of wikipedia by doing good work and tending good roses. Be an eventualist...in the end, everyone will live happily ever after.
My stay in Wikipedia has taught me two things:
Hope you understand what I mean.
BTW, until you transwiki the articles that I requested you to, don't even think about leaving. And you are not the one who should be forgetting his new-year resolution so soon. - Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 19:32, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support of my successful request for adminship. I am honoured that the nomination was supported unanimously and that the community expressed confidence that I would use the tools wisely. If you have any concerns please let me know on my talk page.

I as a Wikipedian (thanks to User:SlimVirgin for collecting the Ten Commandments for being an Ideal Wikipedian) shall not allow a section of people to disrupt the credibility of wikipedia. -- Bhadani 08:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadani,
Could not reply as I was on a break (from college as well as wikipedia) for 2 days. Thanks for the Holi greeting.
Seems that a lot happened when I was away. I am glad that you decided to stay here. We all need you. There is no point saying much more, as whatever I want to say has already been said by my fellow wikipedians. - Aksi great 14:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadaniji, it was with a heavy heart that I saw Nirav's message on my talkpage today morning. I had some pressing engagements to go out and couldn't write to you immediately. However, I did feel that you wd be back, and you are - such a relief to me. I haven't yet gone through the exchange you had with anonymous, but I'll do so and let you know as to what I think of it. My "ji" in the first line is after seeing your photograph, and learning that you are elder to me - I consider myself doubly lucky to see Rashmiji's photograph as well. I have corrected a spelling mistake on both your user page as well as talkpage. And btw, in case you did not know it, you complete the list of most edited user talkpages - see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2006-02-27/News_and_notes and User:Gmaxwell/report for raul654. Best regards, -- Gurubrahma 15:19, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Any progress...? -- BorgQueen 15:36, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadaniji - I'm very grateful that you came back this soon. I was worried about the possibility that we would lose you for a few weeks or months. You should always know that everyone here has immense respect for you. You are extremely valuable to Wikipedia and a vital support to other users.
I just feel that you should never, ever stop doing something you are passionate about over the opinions of others. Even if a day comes when everybody is against you, you should stick at it. If you feel yourself involved in a difficult position, you can address the issue directly, and you should know that most people here will listen respectfully. This is even more important becoz you are an administrator, and so you must tackle difficult issues directly. I never saw any error in what you wrote, although I knew immediately that someone like Anon could cry foul. I also feel that one should work on Wikipedia purely for knowledge - you should not worry about other things so much.
Your Wiki-birthday is close - there are so many achievements to celebrate! You are the inspiration and support of so many. Indeed your consistent compassion and positivity has inspired my transformation into a positive Wikipedian, as well as in my personal life. Thank you, and please don't consider leaving Wikipedia as a solution for any issue. Jai Sri Rama! Rama's Arrow 17:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the GREETS. Same thing to you and family. Since we are not going out much, what happens outside is a blank to us. However my mrs remembers all of these and she has very good memory too.

thumb|right|"Munh Dikhai" Dear Bhadaniji, what an excellent idea to let us have a Paarvai of our very own friendly neighbourhood wiki-Jesus. I couldn't let it pass without proferring some (inadequate) Munh Dikhai, and expressing the hope of some day beholding the Sakshatkar. If all this chortling does not suggest the matter, let me also duly profess my profound regard for you, and my delight at finally making it to your greeting-list. I had feared that my initial unresponsiveness had put me on your black-list for good, but hopefully it is not so. I am largely away these days, and that explains this delay in responding to your message. Happy holi, and do let us KIT. Your foremost chela, ImpuMozhi 01:08, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

With a view to improve my wiki-existence, I am in the process of comunicating with a cross section of Wikipedians (including the administrators) with the following request:
Hello from an Indian wikipedian. I have been around here for about a year, including being an administrator from 18th September 2005. I request you to kindly do me the favor of providing me your valuable comments and suggestions on my contributions, activities and behavior pattern. I shall be awaiting your free and frank opinion, which you are most welcome to give here. Thanks. (signed/Bhadani)
The Ghori page has been edited by two more people since your last edit. I am sorry if my edits were unacceptable. I just corrected a spelling and right link in that page. Siddiqui 19:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello and happy Holi. I received your message and from looking at your talk page and the last few contributions you have made, I agree that you are a great and constructive editor. Obviously you are respected by many, particularly the Indian wikipedians, and though I don't know if we have edited a lot of the same pages, I believe I have seen your name before and you have always seemed like a good contributor. I should mention that you made a mistake in your message, saying that you became an administrator in 2006 when you meant 2005. I corrected that mistake on my talk page and your talk page. Anyway, you seem like a very friendly and hard-working person, so keep up the good work. Although I have never been to India, I have a lot of interest in Indian history and culture and have edited some Indian topics, particularly the politics, and it is good that that area of the Wikipedia is growing.

Hi Bhadani, thank you for the RAoK barnstar. I sure appreciate it. :) I knew you wouldn't leave us in the lurch. It was a good thing that I noticed it right away, things might have been a little different otherwise. As bureaucrat, I do have to intervene when things get ugly in the RFA area. :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 04:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hehehe...when Bhadani was jawan, Rama was not even born (pun intended....). Maybe like the "birthdays committee" idea, we can create a "Hasya-Kavi sammelan" (poetry and humor), helping folks to smirk and unwind. Rama's Arrow 16:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadaniji - I want to ask you a few questions, with the intention of learning how to deal with some serious issues. I'm worried about a rising trend of revisionist history on matters relating to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. We are obviously aware in the traditional propaganda-pushing, but this is different.
For example, I think "Indian subcontinent" - "South Asia" is a perfect example. There are people objecting to "Indian subcontinent" perhaps becoz they don't want to be identified with anything "Indian." On Political integration of India, there was an editor insisting to describe India as "self-governing," and not "independent" after August 15th, 1947 - I don't think his intent was malicious or ideological, however. We know that nationhood consists of more than politics and government - but there are many to choose to identify the existence of India as of a political entity - thereby asserting that India as a country did not exist prior to 1947. If its "partition of India," its partition of "British India." All this is hauntingly akin to Jinnah's assertion of the Two Nation Theory.
How do we deal with such issues? Is it enough to work case-by-case, arguing technically, or is there a need for a wider discussion on Wikipedia? Rama's Arrow 18:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
As an administrator, please have a look at this deleted template. I don't know why it was deleted nor the basis for such deletion, especially when religion-based userboxes are abound across Wikipedia. Will it be ok if I or anybody else re-create a Hindu users template? Rama's Arrow 18:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
You suggested that these two pages be merged. But it appears that Hisarya, India does not exist - see Talk:Hisar, India. Do you agree? Do you also agree that Hisarya, India should be deleted rather than merged, since it is almost a duplicate of the real Hisar, India? Art LaPella 00:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
True. We'll go on keeping these things aside. -- Sundar \ talk \ contribs 03:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
...in my RFA. Good to know that you have ppl like Bhadani and Rama's Arrow - and other editors whose handles you already know :) that support an editor's work. I'll continue to work on editing articles of contentious nature, since that's what I love and many of those who didn't support me had something positive to say about my contributions and I'm happy about it.

What is to say Bhadaniji -- it's quite straight-forward, no code, nothing. "Impu" in all the south Indian languages means "melodious" and "Mozhi" is the pure-Tamil word for "Language".
You may have noticed 2-3 types of 'r' being used in Tamil, if you are among those who can make out anything amid the andu-gundu. So 'Mozhi' is pronounced with a rolling 'r' in place of the 'z'. Nearly everyone must be pronouncing it as 'z', and also, everyone on WP is likely to think of "Impu" as connected to "Imp" -- I don't like that imagery, and it isn't me, but the deed is done. I thought I had conjured up a nice user-name, but it is an all-round fiasco. Wages of grandoiseness. Take care, ImpuMozhi 16:09, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani, thanks for the greetings and wish you the best of Holi too. As I am anyway writing to you, let me take this opportunity to clear some of my doubts about Wikipedia.
Even after so many days at Wikipedia, these things have continued to baffle me:
Your help will be greatly appreciated. Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 09:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the tools mentioned, but they still have limitations as they tell user pages edited by me, and not my userpages. For example, it lists User:PEHowland, but misses Student Linguistics in IIT Kharagpur, which infact is technically my userpage's subpage. Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 13:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Replying to Ambuj's comments.
Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks everybody for the responses. Now my doubts No. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are cleared. Just that Doubt No. 3 is still a bit unclear. What my point was that unlike the Mainspace, the User space is not very well kept track of. So if someone keeps his/her head low, it is possible to keep a blog running in Wikipedia. Although it would be illegal, it would. Anyways, drop it. BTW, my name change request is pending for the last 5 days. Looks like Nichalp is busy. Thanks again. - Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 11:40, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I have asked a simple question to one user Nohat at this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_English_words_of_Tamil_origin What is your level of knowledge regarding Dravidian Languages.
He terms this as "a stupid question" (Nohat 04:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
My request to other administrators is to kindly tell whether the above question is vandalism. How can some one term my question as "stupid". Does an administrator in Wikipedia automatically gets rights to call others by insulting terms and also brand a question asking for academic credentials ("level of knowledge regarding Dravidian Languages") as "stupid"
To whom should we report this. What is Wikipedia and other admins going to do for such high handed behaviour. What is the solution for this. Doctor Bruno 11:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Well Sir, you have enlightened my mind with the words "who may not be prepared to accept that there are other civilizations, cultures, and languages having older and better history and heritage other than those civilizations, cultures, and languages to who they have been exposed" This is the same problem with the ISBN. A lot of people over here do not understand that there can be books without ISBN (like the Bible example I gave).

Hi Bhadani
Thanks a lot for your comments.I await your advice.I felt this had to be included as a source of verifiability for the living subjects.All the entries in the volume(there are 20,000 of them)are strictly on merit and extensively researched.Right now the Wikipedia encourages google.I can see some problems with excessive reliance on google-there are several people with the same name and on browsing the deletion logs I noted that Wiki has not been immune to the confusion this can create-one article I note was deleted because the subject had the unfortunate coincidence of having a similar name to another with not so savoury antecedants!While this was cleared up during the debate but the intial deletion votes were counted.What I was meaning to propose was that to ascertain notability of living subjects,it might be best to find out if they merited an entry in this volume before googling whch can lead to an avalanche of information difficult to sieve at times.( Vr 07:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC))
Copied from Phronima page:
I would invite your attention to the above. Actually, the administrative units have several villages. I think that a redirection link shall defeat the purpose of creating the stub. Do you want that a place having pupulation of 50,000 to 100,000 do not requirew an independent page here. Over a period of time, the stub shall mature. --Bhadani 15:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I would request you to please remove the redirects which you have created in respect of blocks of Ranchi district, as each block is an administrative unit with several villages, and population of around 50,000 to 100,000. Perhaps, you are not aware of the locations so you may have created the redirects - may be, you want some more contents. In any case, I will have to remove the redirects as soon as possible. --Bhadani 15:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I do agree with you. However, there is always scope to improve - there are several nice pages in wikipedia which have grown from a stub of one line. As regards the identical wording, the lead sentence was jsut an opening remarks. I would invite you to see the pages in this category: Category:Neighborhoods of Karachi. The wording is identical, but some pages have grown beautifully. Moreover, there are several 1000s of stubs of few words, and sentences in wikipedia, which await expansion of contents. Anyway, it is ok for the time being. --Bhadani 15:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I am not going to un-do the redirects right now - I will come back with stubs of few paragraphs, as each administrative block has its own geography, culture, and history. --Bhadani 15:46, 17 March 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phronima"
His replies:
The trouble was that the articles contained no information that isn't provided by the list (they were so identical to each other that in four or five cases at least, the name in the article didn't match the title). If there's more to be said that won't fit into the list, then individual article can be made, but I don't see the point till then. -- Phronima 15:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry not to have replied sooner; in the vacation I don't get in to college very often, and this is the first time for nearly a week. (I'm a "her", by the way.) Certainly, if there is enough material to make an article for any of these blocks, they should become articles. My feeling was, though, that between articles on important villages and towns in the region and articles on the region itself, there wasn't really a need for articles on the middle-sized units. -- Phronima 16:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani, thanks for Holi Greetings. Belated wishes for Holi to you too. I was away from this Wikipedia for a long time. Why, yes, I've always enjoyed Holi with my friends. This year too we played Holi with colours and water. Actually, since the time I've shifted to Mumbai back in 1996, I've played Holi every year. Earlier, when we used to stay at Malvan, there wasn't that much celebration with hard colours. Although, we used to go to the place of the Koli (ie. fisherman in Marathi) community, where they lit the Holi bonfire. I still remember that was quite different from the one in Mumbai. -- Mohammed Malvankar 07:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

My reply copies from his page:
Hello Sir I'm nominating this page for deletion because it is written with a point of view , excessive use of unreliable sources.and the title "Khalistan" is wrong for the topic because "Khalistan" does not exist,lack of support from resident Punjabi's and Sikhs in India, but there was a "Movement for Khalistan" and that is the right title for the topic, and i think this whole article "a new name" should be rewritten with the help of people from sikh community "in" India and other Indians, because this topic is related to politics/people of India.We all should understand Khalistan is not a political entity and having a article is not justified, Microsoft Encarta and Britannic encyclopedia don't have an article known as "Khalistan" but they do have articles on the movement that took place decades back, and i think there are also copyright issues involved with this article because big parts of this article are written on other peoples research. Many reliable sources are used to show "one side" of their view on the topic, there are also indications that organisations banned by US and EU are involved in providing their research on the movement.I am a strong supporter to have a stub on this topic , but im afraid that such articles on wikipedia have become mouthpieces for organisation which are known for disrupting peace (assassination of one of india's prime minister, twin bomb blast in New Delhi on the eve of Diwali) in Indian sub continent.

Just noticed lines from the great poem by Robert Frost on your user page as well as your talk page. Those are my favourite lines too. - Aksi_gr eat 14:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Dont act as a proxy for other POV warriors, the information you are trying to add by force is false. In wikipedia we should always remove false information. "The spread of Islam was also due particularly to the powerful Ottoman Empire. Nations were conquered, and their inhabitants were given a choice to convert to Islam, or live as dhimmis, protected second class citizens practicing an officially accepted religion." - That statement is utterly false, the only place the ottomans took Islam was to the balkans. Unless you are saying that Islam is predominantly a balkans based religion you must conceed this is false. It then proceeds to speak about Twentieth century politics, nothing about the history of Islam in the Muslim world, nothing about where most Muslims come from - It short, its false information which has no place. Now, Why would you want the section on the denominations removed? Its verifiable, and acorrect, and I don't understand what you want to remove it. Please explain -- Irishpunktom\ talk 15:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadaniji, I have been caught up with work in the real world and though my edit count seems to have maintained its pace, I am actually spending much less time these days. I am blessed to be receiving barnstars from wikipedians I looked up to during my early days here, such as you, Nichalp and Pamri. I was planning to write to you - my first nom for rfa has gone off well, as you may know. It is sad to see both Idleguy's and deeptrivia's rfas fail - the principal reason for this is Anonymous editor's opposition combined with the incomplete disclosure by the nominees. Anonym himself succeeded only in his 2nd rfa (after working on the feedback from his 1st rfa) and while people do have differences with him, they also understand that he is committed to WP and hence they take his opinion seriously. Anyways, I do believe that these admittedly unpleasant experiences would be helpful in making all the people involved into better human beings. -- Gurubrahma 17:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Greeting Bhadani, first happy 1st wikiversary...may the positive community spirit that you express see you to continued happy Wiki editing.. Speaking of which your last message sent to Irishpunktom was so appropriate for him. As I imagine you're now well aware, a number of other editors and myself have had numerous dealings with him and his frequently demonstrated lack of WP:AGF. Your involvement with Muslim World would be a good example of this. Hopefully Irishpunktom will take your message to heart and follow the "10 wikipedia commandments" and adapt a more community cooperative spirit. Cheers! Netscott 14:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadani!
I was wondering if you can help me out here. User:Anmol.2k4 claims that User:Thetruth and User:Zafarnamah are sock puppets. I remember dealing with several disputes with The truth and I'm pretty certain that it's not the same person. The dispute is here Talk:Khalistan#Dispute. Thanks!

Thanks, Bhadani for the barnstar! Of course, I'm primarily here to contribute to articles, and are sufficient number of sysops on wikipedia (and new ones are being created everyday.) I'll continue contributing to articles just like before. So luckily it's not a big loss to wikipedia, or anything like that. Cheers :) deeptrivia ( talk) 17:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadani,
A request has been made for Indian Institutes of Technology to be peer-reviewed so that it can achieve a Featured Article status.

Hi Bhadani, I wanted to know whether its too late to change the errors made by Wikipedia. To cut short the suspense, I find it odd that the Wikimedia Foundation didn't take enough care in designing Wikipedia's logo. Apparently they made it on a software that didn't had Indic language support and shows the Hindi alphabets incorrectly. Can (and should) the Wikimedia Foundation be asked to correct this mistake. - Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 16:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lake just trying to overflow.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T/ C) 18:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Respected Sir/Madam,
This is with reference to the current Wikipedia Logo. The leftmost jigsaw piece along the equator of the globe in the image has text written in Hindi. However the way it appears in the logo, it seems that it was created on a software that did not have Indic Language Support. Hence, what should be "वि" appears as"व ि". It is our request to change it as soon as possible to "वि" so that is consistant with the Hindi language and free of defects. Please refer Wikipedia:Enabling complex text support for Indic scripts for reference.

Hi seeing your interest in books and novels, I was wondering if you might like to get envolved with our as yet small (revitalised) WikiProject. There is plenty of scope for influencing things and making your contribution count. We are about establishing standards for Novel based articles and writing articles that meet our own and others high standards, and to improve Wikipedia's diet of articles on Fiction books, otherwise called Novels. Please be very welcome. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 13:43, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you please see the article Bagha Jatin and its talk page (and also the history) ? Some disputes going on that page.See if you can comment and mediate.Thank you.-- Dwaipayanc 08:54, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
...for your and Rama's support on my adminship. I personally don't see it as a war for adminship. I rather view it as another interesting phase with editors (some I have hardly met or interacted with before) expressing their views, both for and against me. I think that if a person is judged on what transpired in the past then I'm afraid if I run for the post even after 1 year, the situation wouldn't change. Interestingly, atleast one editor who voted oppose - Anonymous editor - was accused of serious abuses and POV warring against other editors (more serious than mine) during his first unsuccessful nomination for adminship and just 2 months later his past deeds were forgotten. My incidents took place 3-4 months back and yet a sizeable number of the editors have voted negatively. Hmmm....
So my take on this is that irrespective of what changes you make, when you stand for adminship for the first time you are odds on favourite to lose - unless one is goody goody or is involved in editing humdrum articles - then come back to win the second time around. The second time you are forgiven even within weeks, but if one makes changes the first time itself, it is seen as suspect. And I've seen this happen on more than a couple of times, so I'm not making any pessimistic statements. I've observed this even in real life. My odds of winning right now are as good as Scotland lifting the Cricket World cup :P , but since you guys want the nomination to continue, we'll see. But more than adminship, it's the thrill of editing Wikipedia that I am here for. Cheers. Idleguy 03:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Below is appended my greetings being sent to some of the fellow wikipedians on the occasion of Holi:
Hi, I am wishing you a happy Holi, the unique Hindu celebration of color and brotherhood among all members of the humanity. The festival falls on 15th March 2006. I have collected A Gift Pack of Quotationsfor you contained in the sections DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY and SOMETHING MORE, which are part of the on-going discussion pertaining to my nomination of Idleguy for adminship. You are aware of the tradition that if you throw colored water on flames of burning Holika, you enable a Prahlad to emerge from the flames!!! I again convey Holi greetings to you and your family!!! -- Bhadani 14:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm stepping in to mediate the dispute between you and AE. Let's cut out the drama here as it won't be doing any good to anyone, or the project. Firstly, rest assured, I know your intentions of the Holi greetings were noble, but they were horribly mismatched and mistimed. This is what AE was trying to raise, but he did not tactfully do it, and you misunderstood him.
Please reconsider leaving, it is not a personal attack, its just a round of misunderstood words. I shall speak to AE soon. Also, I suggest that you do not reply to further posts on the RFA, let Idleguy handle fight the matter for the community to judge him.
Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadaniji, I know you are angry at AE and frustrated with Wikipedia's functioning problems, but you are the last person I ever thought would throw in the towel. Please don't go - this would be a very serious loss indeed for all of us.
I support you - I don't believe you did anything wrong (and definitely that you never desired to do anything illegitimate). Life always questions and pokes at the most important and emotional issues to each of us, and its pure courage to keep living despite any/all provocation. Rabindranath Tagore told Gandhi that even if nobody listened to him or followed his ideas, he should stick at it himself. Gandhi did not leave despite having literally millions of opponents. So why should AE or anybody else cause you to leave?
Its never acceptable to back down from what one loves to do or believes in. Even if you are completely ostracized, never quit. Please calm down and know that you are the most highly-respected Indian on Wikipedia - the captain of our ship. Rama's Arrow 18:38, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Just thought I should share this here:
deeptrivia ( talk) 04:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I didn't expect you to react so strongly. Perhaps things got heated up in the Idleguy's RfA. Roses are beautiful, but this doesn't mean we hug them because then the thorns will start hurting us. This is quite similar to human relations. You got so much involved in the RfA that it started hurting you. Sometimes it is advisable to see the roses from the distance. They are targeting one Idleguy, but you have the potential of making a thousand. Look around...there are people like us who are there looking for your help. There is a difference in the job of the gardener and the florist. The gardener tends and cares for the roses to make them fit for the best bouquet, while the florist arranges them to look perfect. Adminship is akin to the job of gardener while RfA voting is akin to florist. I strongly believe that you are a gardener first. You have the job of helping buds like us to become the best roses.
I can describe RfA as best this "काजल की कोठरी". Howsoever good a person is, someone is bound to try and make him/her dirty.
You have to take the decision whether you want Wikipedia, or you want politics. I am sure you will choose Wikipedia. Wikipedia has something known as Wikignome who are people working tirelessly to make things better without clamouring for attention. But I believe that we all at Wikipedia are gnomes in the sense that 99% of the people who read our work won't care to find out who wrote it. Fitting as it sounds, we all should actually work as gnomes. Take my advice, and start working for the betterment of wikipedia by doing good work and tending good roses. Be an eventualist...in the end, everyone will live happily ever after.
My stay in Wikipedia has taught me two things:
Hope you understand what I mean.

However, I did feel that you wd be back, and you are - such a relief to me. I haven't yet gone through the exchange you had with anonymous, but I'll do so and let you know as to what I think of it. My "ji" in the first line is after seeing your photograph, and learning that you are elder to me - I consider myself doubly lucky to see Rashmiji's photograph as well.

Hi Bhadaniji - I'm very grateful that you came back this soon. I was worried about the possibility that we would lose you for a few weeks or months. You should always know that everyone here has immense respect for you. You are extremely valuable to Wikipedia and a vital support to other users.
I just feel that you should never, ever stop doing something you are passionate about over the opinions of others. Even if a day comes when everybody is against you, you should stick at it. If you feel yourself involved in a difficult position, you can address the issue directly, and you should know that most people here will listen respectfully. This is even more important becoz you are an administrator, and so you must tackle difficult issues directly. I never saw any error in what you wrote, although I knew immediately that someone like Anon could cry foul. I also feel that one should work on Wikipedia purely for knowledge - you should not worry about other things so much.
Your Wiki-birthday is close - there are so many achievements to celebrate! You are the inspiration and support of so many. Indeed your consistent compassion and positivity has inspired my transformation into a positive Wikipedian, as well as in my personal life. Thank you, and please don't consider leaving Wikipedia as a solution for any issue. Jai Sri Rama! Rama's Arrow 17:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

With a view to improve my wiki-existence, I am in the process of comunicating with a cross section of Wikipedians (including the administrators) with the following request:
Hello from an Indian wikipedian. I have been around here for about a year, including being an administrator from 18th September 2005. I request you to kindly do me the favor of providing me your valuable comments and suggestions on my contributions, activities and behavior pattern. I shall be awaiting your free and frank opinion, which you are most welcome to give here. Thanks. (signed/Bhadani)
The Ghori page has been edited by two more people since your last edit. I am sorry if my edits were unacceptable. I just corrected a spelling and right link in that page. Siddiqui 19:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello and happy Holi. I received your message and from looking at your talk page and the last few contributions you have made, I agree that you are a great and constructive editor. Obviously you are respected by many, particularly the Indian wikipedians, and though I don't know if we have edited a lot of the same pages, I believe I have seen your name before and you have always seemed like a good contributor. I should mention that you made a mistake in your message, saying that you became an administrator in 2006 when you meant 2005. I corrected that mistake on my talk page and your talk page. Anyway, you seem like a very friendly and hard-working person, so keep up the good work. Although I have never been to India, I have a lot of interest in Indian history and culture and have edited some Indian topics, particularly the politics, and it is good that that area of the Wikipedia is growing.

Hi Bhadani, thank you for the RAoK barnstar. I sure appreciate it. :) I knew you wouldn't leave us in the lurch. It was a good thing that I noticed it right away, things might have been a little different otherwise. As bureaucrat, I do have to intervene when things get ugly in the RFA area. :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 04:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hehehe...when Bhadani was jawan, Rama was not even born (pun intended....). Maybe like the "birthdays committee" idea, we can create a "Hasya-Kavi sammelan" (poetry and humor), helping folks to smirk and unwind. Rama's Arrow 16:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadaniji - I want to ask you a few questions, with the intention of learning how to deal with some serious issues. I'm worried about a rising trend of revisionist history on matters relating to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. We are obviously aware in the traditional propaganda-pushing, but this is different.
For example, I think "Indian subcontinent" - "South Asia" is a perfect example. There are people objecting to "Indian subcontinent" perhaps becoz they don't want to be identified with anything "Indian." On Political integration of India, there was an editor insisting to describe India as "self-governing," and not "independent" after August 15th, 1947 - I don't think his intent was malicious or ideological, however. We know that nationhood consists of more than politics and government - but there are many to choose to identify the existence of India as of a political entity - thereby asserting that India as a country did not exist prior to 1947. If its "partition of India," its partition of "British India." All this is hauntingly akin to Jinnah's assertion of the Two Nation Theory.
How do we deal with such issues? Is it enough to work case-by-case, arguing technically, or is there a need for a wider discussion on Wikipedia? Rama's Arrow 18:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
As an administrator, please have a look at this deleted template. I don't know why it was deleted nor the basis for such deletion, especially when religion-based userboxes are abound across Wikipedia. Will it be ok if I or anybody else re-create a Hindu users template? Rama's Arrow 18:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
You suggested that these two pages be merged. But it appears that Hisarya, India does not exist - see Talk:Hisar, India. Do you agree? Do you also agree that Hisarya, India should be deleted rather than merged, since it is almost a duplicate of the real Hisar, India? Art LaPella 00:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
True. We'll go on keeping these things aside. -- Sundar \ talk \ contribs 03:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

What is to say Bhadaniji -- it's quite straight-forward, no code, nothing. "Impu" in all the south Indian languages means "melodious" and "Mozhi" is the pure-Tamil word for "Language".
You may have noticed 2-3 types of 'r' being used in Tamil, if you are among those who can make out anything amid the andu-gundu. So 'Mozhi' is pronounced with a rolling 'r' in place of the 'z'. Nearly everyone must be pronouncing it as 'z', and also, everyone on WP is likely to think of "Impu" as connected to "Imp" -- I don't like that imagery, and it isn't me, but the deed is done. I thought I had conjured up a nice user-name, but it is an all-round fiasco. Wages of grandoiseness. Take care, ImpuMozhi 16:09, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks everybody for the responses. Now my doubts No. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are cleared. Just that Doubt No. 3 is still a bit unclear. What my point was that unlike the Mainspace, the User space is not very well kept track of. So if someone keeps his/her head low, it is possible to keep a blog running in Wikipedia. Although it would be illegal, it would. Anyways, drop it. BTW, my name change request is pending for the last 5 days. Looks like Nichalp is busy.

I have asked a simple question to one user Nohat at this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_English_words_of_Tamil_origin What is your level of knowledge regarding Dravidian Languages.
He terms this as "a stupid question" (Nohat 04:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
My request to other administrators is to kindly tell whether the above question is vandalism. How can some one term my question as "stupid". Does an administrator in Wikipedia automatically gets rights to call others by insulting terms and also brand a question asking for academic credentials ("level of knowledge regarding Dravidian Languages") as "stupid"

Well Sir, you have enlightened my mind with the words "who may not be prepared to accept that there are other civilizations, cultures, and languages having older and better history and heritage other than those civilizations, cultures, and languages to who they have been exposed" This is the same problem with the ISBN.

Hi Bhadani
Thanks a lot for your comments.I await your advice.I felt this had to be included as a source of verifiability for the living subjects.All the entries in the volume(there are 20,000 of them)are strictly on merit and extensively researched.Right now the Wikipedia encourages google.I can see some problems with excessive reliance on google-there are several people with the same name and on browsing the deletion logs I noted that Wiki has not been immune to the confusion this can create-one article I note was deleted because the subject had the unfortunate coincidence of having a similar name to another with not so savoury antecedants!While this was cleared up during the debate but the intial deletion votes were counted.What I was meaning to propose was that to ascertain notability of living subjects,it might be best to find out if they merited an entry in this volume before googling whch can lead to an avalanche of information difficult to sieve at times.( Vr 07:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC))
Copied from Phronima page:
I would invite your attention to the above. Actually, the administrative units have several villages. I think that a redirection link shall defeat the purpose of creating the stub. Do you want that a place having pupulation of 50,000 to 100,000 do not requirew an independent page here. Over a period of time, the stub shall mature. --Bhadani 15:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I would request you to please remove the redirects which you have created in respect of blocks of Ranchi district, as each block is an administrative unit with several villages, and population of around 50,000 to 100,000. Perhaps, you are not aware of the locations so you may have created the redirects - may be, you want some more contents. In any case, I will have to remove the redirects as soon as possible. --Bhadani 15:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I do agree with you. However, there is always scope to improve - there are several nice pages in wikipedia which have grown from a stub of one line. As regards the identical wording, the lead sentence was jsut an opening remarks. I would invite you to see the pages in this category: Category:Neighborhoods of Karachi. The wording is identical, but some pages have grown beautifully. Moreover, there are several 1000s of stubs of few words, and sentences in wikipedia, which await expansion of contents. Anyway, it is ok for the time being. --Bhadani 15:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
I am not going to un-do the redirects right now - I will come back with stubs of few paragraphs, as each administrative block has its own geography, culture, and history. --Bhadani 15:46, 17 March 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phronima"
His replies:
The trouble was that the articles contained no information that isn't provided by the list (they were so identical to each other that in four or five cases at least, the name in the article didn't match the title). If there's more to be said that won't fit into the list, then individual article can be made, but I don't see the point till then. -- Phronima 15:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry not to have replied sooner; in the vacation I don't get in to college very often, and this is the first time for nearly a week. (I'm a "her", by the way.) Certainly, if there is enough material to make an article for any of these blocks, they should become articles. My feeling was, though, that between articles on important villages and towns in the region and articles on the region itself, there wasn't really a need for articles on the middle-sized units. -- Phronima 16:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Bhadaniji, a small question about Bihar. AFIK, the Kshatriyas there do not call themselves "Rajput", do they? They are normally called 'Thakur', right? Exactly what is the colloquial caste-affiliation of the word "Bhumihar"? It would be nice if you could let me know what is the perception on the ground. Regards, ImpuMozhi 17:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Greetings. On 21st March, the Kothagattu Venkata RavindraNath page was created. This looks like a user page, since the username of the page creator is made up of the initials of the page title (i.e., Kvrnath). So I tried to contact the user to ask him/her if this is so, but he is yet to create his userpage. Now how do I contact him? This page might need to be deleted.

I created the article and edited it a few times in October of 2002, then nothing for most of a year and one anon edit, then nothing for most of a year, and then all of a sudden... And now there's fifteen edits in the month of February alone (by ten people, -2 for a vandal and reverter)... Anyway, thanks for saying hi Tuf-Kat 00:40, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bhadani, thanks for Holi Greetings. Belated wishes for Holi to you too. I was away from this Wikipedia for a long time. Why, yes, I've always enjoyed Holi with my friends. This year too we played Holi with colours and water. Actually, since the time I've shifted to Mumbai back in 1996, I've played Holi every year. Earlier, when we used to stay at Malvan, there wasn't that much celebration with hard colours. Although, we used to go to the place of the Koli (ie. fisherman in Marathi) community, where they lit the Holi bonfire. I still remember that was quite different from the one in Mumbai. -- Mohammed Malvankar 07:14, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

My reply copies from his page:
Hello Sir I'm nominating this page for deletion because it is written with a point of view , excessive use of unreliable sources.and the title "Khalistan" is wrong for the topic because "Khalistan" does not exist,lack of support from resident Punjabi's and Sikhs in India, but there was a "Movement for Khalistan" and that is the right title for the topic, and i think this whole article "a new name" should be rewritten with the help of people from sikh community "in" India and other Indians, because this topic is related to politics/people of India.We all should understand Khalistan is not a political entity and having a article is not justified, Microsoft Encarta and Britannic encyclopedia don't have an article known as "Khalistan" but they do have articles on the movement that took place decades back, and i think there are also copyright issues involved with this article because big parts of this article are written on other peoples research. Many reliable sources are used to show "one side" of their view on the topic, there are also indications that organisations banned by US and EU are involved in providing their research on the movement.I am a strong supporter to have a stub on this topic , but im afraid that such articles on wikipedia have become mouthpieces for organisation which are known for disrupting peace (assassination of one of india's prime minister, twin bomb blast in New Delhi on the eve of Diwali) in Indian sub continent. This article requires your attention , please help. Anmol.2k4 18:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello Bhadaniji,
Just noticed lines from the great poem by Robert Frost on your user page as well as your talk page. Those are my favourite lines too. - Aksi_gr eat 14:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Dont act as a proxy for other POV warriors, the information you are trying to add by force is false. In wikipedia we should always remove false information. "The spread of Islam was also due particularly to the powerful Ottoman Empire. Nations were conquered, and their inhabitants were given a choice to convert to Islam, or live as dhimmis, protected second class citizens practicing an officially accepted religion." - That statement is utterly false, the only place the ottomans took Islam was to the balkans. Unless you are saying that Islam is predominantly a balkans based religion you must conceed this is false. It then proceeds to speak about Twentieth century politics, nothing about the history of Islam in the Muslim world, nothing about where most Muslims come from - It short, its false information which has no place. Now, Why would you want the section on the denominations removed? Its verifiable, and acorrect, and I don't understand what you want to remove it. Please explain -- Irishpunktom\ talk 15:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Bhadaniji, I have been caught up with work in the real world and though my edit count seems to have maintained its pace, I am actually spending much less time these days. I am blessed to be receiving barnstars from wikipedians I looked up to during my early days here, such as you, Nichalp and Pamri. I was planning to write to you - my first nom for rfa has gone off well, as you may know. It is sad to see both Idleguy's and deeptrivia's rfas fail - the principal reason for this is Anonymous editor's opposition combined with the incomplete disclosure by the nominees. Anonym himself succeeded only in his 2nd rfa (after working on the feedback from his 1st rfa) and while people do have differences with him, they also understand that he is committed to WP and hence they take his opinion seriously. Anyways, I do believe that these admittedly unpleasant experiences would be helpful in making all the people involved into better human beings. -- Gurubrahma 17:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
My reply copied from his talk page: AE is surely a committed wikipedian, and I have always kept SlimVirgin as an ideal. Yes, Idleguy and Deep failed, but they shall draw lessons, and shall become really nice administrators one day. I know about your first nomination as I had participated in that myself. When I find you doing so well, I feel very light. please be in touch. My selections were not wrong - the wiki-community wants demonstration of their abilities beyond doubt, and they shall do that in the months to come. -- Bhadani 17:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Greeting Bhadani, first happy 1st wikiversary...may the positive community spirit that you express see you to continued happy Wiki editing.. Speaking of which your last message sent to Irishpunktom was so appropriate for him. As I imagine you're now well aware, a number of other editors and myself have had numerous dealings with him and his frequently demonstrated lack of WP:AGF. Your involvement with Muslim World would be a good example of this. Hopefully Irishpunktom will take your message to heart and follow the "10 wikipedia commandments" and adapt a more community cooperative spirit. Cheers! Netscott 14:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani, I wanted to know whether its too late to change the errors made by Wikipedia. To cut short the suspense, I find it odd that the Wikimedia Foundation didn't take enough care in designing Wikipedia's logo. Apparently they made it on a software that didn't had Indic language support and shows the Hindi alphabets incorrectly. Can (and should) the Wikimedia Foundation be asked to correct this mistake. - Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 16:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lake just trying to overflow.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ( T/ C) 18:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Respected Sir/Madam,
This is with reference to the current Wikipedia Logo. The leftmost jigsaw piece along the equator of the globe in the image has text written in Hindi. However the way it appears in the logo, it seems that it was created on a software that did not have Indic Language Support. Hence, what should be "वि" appears as"व ि". It is our request to change it as soon as possible to "वि" so that is consistant with the Hindi language and free of defects. Please refer Wikipedia:Enabling complex text support for Indic scripts for reference.
Signed,
