You reverted my recent edit to {{ uw-test1}} using popups. Since this did not leave a meaningful edit summary, I'd like to ask you what you found objectionable in the change. Personally, I simply feel that it's somewhat disingenious to tell a newbie, for example, "Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with the page Trade and usage of saffron on Wikipedia", when we most certainly don't want them to continue experimenting on that page. I felt that my edit, which moved the article name (if given) to the following sentence, made the intent of the message clearer, but I'd like to hear your opinion on the matter. — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 18:25, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I tried to explain why the page Slon in sadež shouldn't be deleted, but it was, before I could put up the {{holdon}} sign so I shall explain it here again.
I can't see why this article should be deleted. The band has been active for 6 years, issued 3 CD-s and has its own radio show. Also, the slovenian page has been there for 2 years without anyone questioning the band's significance. Infact, this page was started from a red link at the page List of Slovenian musicians.
Even if the article still doesn't fit Wikipedia's importance policies, I would ask to get the source back. Cptukbo ( talk) 14:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello Khurki,
I noticed you deleted my article on Chris Hunter the author of Eight Lives Down. I work for his publishers and the entire biography was sanctioned and came straight from him. The notice on the page said it did not state how the subject was notable - isn't an author a valid entry in an encyclopedia? He also differs from the other billions of authors by being the first person to write about being a bomb disposal operator in Iraq, a relatively new genre. Please explain the reasoning to me.
Thank you
-- Lynseydalladay ( talk) 16:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm afraid if possible I'm going to need you to clarify. There is no conflict of interest, as it was an entirely neutral biography, not designed to draw attention or increase book sales but designed as further reading for anyone who had an interest in the subject. As for notability, the subject was worthy of notice especially in a topical way, as the only bomb disposal operator to have spoken of his time in Iraq, which has no bearing on popularity, fame or importance. So if you could please clarify as I did dispute the deletion before you deleted and you seem to not have a valid reason. Thank you -- Lynseydalladay ( talk) 14:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Khukri,
Can I just ask why the above mentioned article was deleted so quickly, without giving me time to complete it? Despite not being fully completed, I understand it was marked for "speedy deletion because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable". However, I used the "hang on" tag to give me more time. Nothing was discussed as to why it wasn't worth having either. The article wasn't finished and I spent over an hour putting the beginning together, simply because it ties in with Chrysler LLC's operations abroad - specifically one of the markets in the Middle East. I created the article because reckoned it would be worth having under a Middle East sub-category, under the category Chrysler (just like there is one for the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia). Despite being a minor Chrysler-related article, it still fitted in.
Also, what is the criteria based on, which determines whether or not an article is worthy to be Wikipedia? If anything somebody reckons isn't worth having will be deleted, maybe I shouldn't waste any more of my time contributing to something that will be taken off sooner rather than later.
Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M75 ( talk • contribs)

Dear Khukri,
We use Wikipedia and greatly value the trust we can place in it as a resource. Of course, our intent is to honor the principles and policies of the site. Yesterday, I tried to enter to completely new postings that I thought conformed to your requirements. One is for Dawnine Dyer, a wine world pioneer. The other is for Meteor Vineyards. I think I may have erred in posting a photograph of the Meteor Vineyards wine.
Beyond, that, I was utilizing verifiable information and third party quotes in keeping with your practices.
I have researched other similar properties on Wikipedia, I have properly cited by material, and I included newsworthy and pertinent photos that have been approved by a photographer. I do not understand why this has been deleted.
We are not trying to blatantly advertise Meteor Vineyard, but rather to post encylopedic information about a vineyard that is considered remarkable by numerous esteemed wine properties. I researched and you have other wineries and winemakers in Wikipedia such as Stags' Leap Winery and Francis Ford Coppola. Why can't Meteor Vineyards be an addition to your Wikipedia wine collection?
I look forward to your response and consideration.

Namaste/Hello,
We need help at the Singh article because it is constantly being vandalised by some IP addresses and a profile called User:Harrybabbar.
Sikh Historian and myself, Gurkhaboy, are trying to work on an article which brings a balanced approach to the name Singh which is used by both Hindus and Sikhs in the subcontinent and can be found among many fighting groups including the Gurkhas.
Individuals such as Harrybabbar have been making claims that Singh was not used by Rajputs as a common middle name and that Singh is more of a Sikh phenomenon. He changes statements in the article to discredit Rajputs and make Sikhs look more martial which is not only unprofessional but completely incorrect. Even the Phulkian states (Sikh royalty) claimed Rajput descendency as is recorded by the Dutch East India Company archives (which can be viewed on line), but also is mentioned in the History of the Sikhs by Joseph Davey Cunningham.
If one looks at the Dutch East India Company archives kept in England, the geneologies of the royal families of India and Nepal are recorded with Singh being used by many families and the House of Udaipur using the name right from the 7th century. I could go on, but there is not real point to waste your time on providing evidence now.
Then comes the claim that the majority of the British Indian forces were Sikh thus making the Singh name famous. He fails to understand that there were many famous regiments, far more famous were the Gurkhas and the Rajputs to the point that Sir James Guthrie's painting "Statesmen of World War I" present only one Indian among all the White Anglo men and that General Sir Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner. To this day Gurkhas serve the British forces.
Furthermore, although the Sikhs made huge contributions to the British Indian Army, Sikh Historian agrees with me on the fact that the name Singh belongs to many martial groups and all should be represented with the truth and not hijacked by the Sikhs.
Please do help us.
Sincerely

Dear Khukri,
I appreciate your intervention. I did not know whom to report it to or how. In any case, I am glad you have givne him a warning and hopefully this will stop. I saw that your name was Khukri and figured you would understand the Gurkha side of the arguement. Sikh Historian and myself are trying to make it a balanced article and accurate with references, however Harrybabbar comes in and tries to make it mainly a Sikh article with outrageuos claims.
Thank you again for your intervention, Sincerely, Gorkhali ( talk) 15:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Khukuri,
I apologise for bringing this up on Christmas, Harrybabbar is up to his usual POVs and vandalism again. He also asked me to put up my photograph "to compare who the Real Singhs are" and has also asked me to meet him for a "coffee" and "discuss" this issue in person.
I am not sure, should I just give up and allow him to do what he wants to Singh article and distort to his POVs. He is persistent, I give him that, but his lack of knowledge is overwhelming and his willingness to deny the truth of history and the history of many people of the subcontinent (including Gurkhas) is amazing.
Again, I sincerely apologise for bringing this up today. I just did not want to forget to inform you.
All the best for the holiday season.

Please do not delete or block me just because your fellow Nepali tells you to do that, I have not vandalized the Singh article I have just put the things in right perspective....I have just added that Hindus used the name as SINH (सिंह) and Sikhs use the name SINGH.
Why don’t they just explain why it’s written as सिंह (Sinh) in Hindi when it could have been written as सिंघ (Singh).
Harry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrybabbar ( talk • contribs) 15:55, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Dear Khukri,
Thank you for putting a block on editing.
Harrybabbar is not just contesting the Sinh and Singh aspect, he is also making erroneous statements on the article, altering footnoted sentences, and deleting references so that everything fits his POVs. He then goes around insulting other editors of the article.
He has previously made claims that 50% of the British Indian Army was Sikh:
"Singh as a name became more popular and better recoganized then Sinh after Sikhs became Singhs(as in Punjabi dialect), Sikh used to constitute almost 50% of British Army due to this Singh got better reorganization from British, Punjabi Diaspora across the world and Punjabization of India (in Films, Fashion, Food Habbits, Sports, Attitude) also helped in getting Singh as a name Internationalized, its actually at the start of 19th Century Rajputs and other Hindu (From Northren India to Nepal) communities discarded Sinh and started using Singh instead to match the brand name Sikhs had created for Singh name . Before 19th century also only very few Rajput kings used to use Sinh as there middle name e.g. Maharana Pratap, Prithvi Raj Chauhan (The legendary Rajput Kings) never used Sinh or Singh as there middle names."
This is from Harrybabbar. Its very ethnocentric, lacks any validity and clearly shows how he wishes to push his POVs.

I tried to explain why the page Slon in sadež shouldn't be deleted, but it was, before I could put up the {{holdon}} sign so I shall explain it here again.
I can't see why this article should be deleted. The band has been active for 6 years, issued 3 CD-s and has its own radio show. Also, the slovenian page has been there for 2 years without anyone questioning the band's significance. Infact, this page was started from a red link at the page List of Slovenian musicians.
Even if the article still doesn't fit Wikipedia's importance policies, I would ask to get the source back. Cptukbo ( talk) 14:45, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I've been going through checking on the speedy delete list and saw you tagged Otherkin. I'm not sure if you checked the history, though it looks like it's a fringe subject that did have an article that had been previously vandalised, and had gone unnoticed. I've now put the document to an earlier version and removed the speedy tag. Cheers Khukri 15:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

When tagging new images in the upload log I have noticed that there are some users that continue to keep uploading images with no source information, I was wondering if and how I should deal with these users, also I have noticed that some images that are uploaded are uploaded just to be inappropriate and was wondering what I should do with them(those would be the one's that actually have source information).

Hello Khurki,
I noticed you deleted my article on Chris Hunter the author of Eight Lives Down. I work for his publishers and the entire biography was sanctioned and came straight from him. The notice on the page said it did not state how the subject was notable - isn't an author a valid entry in an encyclopedia? He also differs from the other billions of authors by being the first person to write about being a bomb disposal operator in Iraq, a relatively new genre. Please explain the reasoning to me.
Thank you
-- Lynseydalladay ( talk) 16:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm afraid if possible I'm going to need you to clarify. There is no conflict of interest, as it was an entirely neutral biography, not designed to draw attention or increase book sales but designed as further reading for anyone who had an interest in the subject. As for notability, the subject was worthy of notice especially in a topical way, as the only bomb disposal operator to have spoken of his time in Iraq, which has no bearing on popularity, fame or importance. So if you could please clarify as I did dispute the deletion before you deleted and you seem to not have a valid reason. Thank you -- Lynseydalladay ( talk) 14:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Khukri,
Can I just ask why the above mentioned article was deleted so quickly, without giving me time to complete it? Despite not being fully completed, I understand it was marked for "speedy deletion because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable". However, I used the "hang on" tag to give me more time. Nothing was discussed as to why it wasn't worth having either. The article wasn't finished and I spent over an hour putting the beginning together, simply because it ties in with Chrysler LLC's operations abroad - specifically one of the markets in the Middle East. I created the article because reckoned it would be worth having under a Middle East sub-category, under the category Chrysler (just like there is one for the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia). Despite being a minor Chrysler-related article, it still fitted in.
Also, what is the criteria based on, which determines whether or not an article is worthy to be Wikipedia? If anything somebody reckons isn't worth having will be deleted, maybe I shouldn't waste any more of my time contributing to something that will be taken off sooner rather than later.
Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M75 ( talk • contribs)

Dear Khukri,
We use Wikipedia and greatly value the trust we can place in it as a resource. Of course, our intent is to honor the principles and policies of the site. Yesterday, I tried to enter to completely new postings that I thought conformed to your requirements. One is for Dawnine Dyer, a wine world pioneer. The other is for Meteor Vineyards. I think I may have erred in posting a photograph of the Meteor Vineyards wine.
Beyond, that, I was utilizing verifiable information and third party quotes in keeping with your practices.
I have researched other similar properties on Wikipedia, I have properly cited by material, and I included newsworthy and pertinent photos that have been approved by a photographer. I do not understand why this has been deleted.
We are not trying to blatantly advertise Meteor Vineyard, but rather to post encylopedic information about a vineyard that is considered remarkable by numerous esteemed wine properties. I researched and you have other wineries and winemakers in Wikipedia such as Stags' Leap Winery and Francis Ford Coppola. Why can't Meteor Vineyards be an addition to your Wikipedia wine collection?
I look forward to your response and consideration.

Namaste/Hello,
We need help at the Singh article because it is constantly being vandalised by some IP addresses and a profile called User:Harrybabbar.
Sikh Historian and myself, Gurkhaboy, are trying to work on an article which brings a balanced approach to the name Singh which is used by both Hindus and Sikhs in the subcontinent and can be found among many fighting groups including the Gurkhas.
Individuals such as Harrybabbar have been making claims that Singh was not used by Rajputs as a common middle name and that Singh is more of a Sikh phenomenon. He changes statements in the article to discredit Rajputs and make Sikhs look more martial which is not only unprofessional but completely incorrect. Even the Phulkian states (Sikh royalty) claimed Rajput descendency as is recorded by the Dutch East India Company archives (which can be viewed on line), but also is mentioned in the History of the Sikhs by Joseph Davey Cunningham.
If one looks at the Dutch East India Company archives kept in England, the geneologies of the royal families of India and Nepal are recorded with Singh being used by many families and the House of Udaipur using the name right from the 7th century. I could go on, but there is not real point to waste your time on providing evidence now.
Then comes the claim that the majority of the British Indian forces were Sikh thus making the Singh name famous. He fails to understand that there were many famous regiments, far more famous were the Gurkhas and the Rajputs to the point that Sir James Guthrie's painting "Statesmen of World War I" present only one Indian among all the White Anglo men and that General Sir Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner. To this day Gurkhas serve the British forces.
Furthermore, although the Sikhs made huge contributions to the British Indian Army, Sikh Historian agrees with me on the fact that the name Singh belongs to many martial groups and all should be represented with the truth and not hijacked by the Sikhs.
Please do help us.
Sincerely

Dear Khukri,
I appreciate your intervention. I did not know whom to report it to or how. In any case, I am glad you have givne him a warning and hopefully this will stop. I saw that your name was Khukri and figured you would understand the Gurkha side of the arguement. Sikh Historian and myself are trying to make it a balanced article and accurate with references, however Harrybabbar comes in and tries to make it mainly a Sikh article with outrageuos claims.
Thank you again for your intervention, Sincerely, Gorkhali ( talk) 15:41, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Khukuri,
I apologise for bringing this up on Christmas, Harrybabbar is up to his usual POVs and vandalism again. He also asked me to put up my photograph "to compare who the Real Singhs are" and has also asked me to meet him for a "coffee" and "discuss" this issue in person.
I am not sure, should I just give up and allow him to do what he wants to Singh article and distort to his POVs. He is persistent, I give him that, but his lack of knowledge is overwhelming and his willingness to deny the truth of history and the history of many people of the subcontinent (including Gurkhas) is amazing.
Again, I sincerely apologise for bringing this up today. I just did not want to forget to inform you.
All the best for the holiday season.
Sincerely,

Unfortunately the admin who planted this seed of doubt in my mind apparently does not want to give me constructive feedback, so I was hoping that you could review the situation and tell me where I screwed up.

Dear Khukri,
Please do not delete or block me just because your fellow Nepali tells you to do that, I have not vandalized the Singh article I have just put the things in right perspective....I have just added that Hindus used the name as SINH (सिंह) and Sikhs use the name SINGH.
Why don’t they just explain why it’s written as सिंह (Sinh) in Hindi when it could have been written as सिंघ (Singh).
Harry —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrybabbar ( talk • contribs) 15:55, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Dear Khukri,
Thank you for putting a block on editing.
Harrybabbar is not just contesting the Sinh and Singh aspect, he is also making erroneous statements on the article, altering footnoted sentences, and deleting references so that everything fits his POVs. He then goes around insulting other editors of the article.
He has previously made claims that 50% of the British Indian Army was Sikh:
"Singh as a name became more popular and better recoganized then Sinh after Sikhs became Singhs(as in Punjabi dialect), Sikh used to constitute almost 50% of British Army due to this Singh got better reorganization from British, Punjabi Diaspora across the world and Punjabization of India (in Films, Fashion, Food Habbits, Sports, Attitude) also helped in getting Singh as a name Internationalized, its actually at the start of 19th Century Rajputs and other Hindu (From Northren India to Nepal) communities discarded Sinh and started using Singh instead to match the brand name Sikhs had created for Singh name . Before 19th century also only very few Rajput kings used to use Sinh as there middle name e.g. Maharana Pratap, Prithvi Raj Chauhan (The legendary Rajput Kings) never used Sinh or Singh as there middle names."
This is from Harrybabbar. Its very ethnocentric, lacks any validity and clearly shows how he wishes to push his POVs.
