I just semi-protected your userpage -- can't think of any reason an anon user should have to edit that.-- SarekOfVulcan ( talk) 17:52, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
I've just noticed your comment:
I suppose that you realise that by saying "Pdfpdf claims to be in bed now" you are implying that I'm lying? You have zero evidence to support that assertion, particularly given it was the early hours of the morning where I live, and the next day was a work-day. Please choose your words more judiciously, and if you are going to make such claims, please provide supporting evidence. (And yes, it is 4am here, but "tomorrow" is Sunday.)

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. — Tivedshambo ( t/ c) 12:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 ( talk) 23:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Yay!! thanks Dabomb! -- Lerdthenerd wiki defender 16:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
This is not the proper tag for this type of problem. The author has copied material from the List of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps characters article. Rather than propose the new article for deletion to make way for a page move (which is not going to happen), it would be better to revert the deletion of material at the source article (which has been done) and to change this new page to a redirect to the original.

Hello,
Just a quick question. You removed the external link I provided on the AvPD webpage to this youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ7qYH4ud4U asserting that it is under copyright. This seems highly unlikely to me?
You also said it can't be used anyway, presumably because it is not a source that represents an "authority" on the matter. However, the link specifically states that it provides a first-person, subjective or phenomenological account of AvPD. Inherently, an authority on such an experience is a person with that diagnosis. It's inclusion is merited due to the fact that subjective accounts of such conditions differ from objective categorial entries from diagnosticians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FiachraByrne ( talk • contribs) 13:37, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Just to let you know I have deleted this as CSD A3 because it has a link in it. If you have a moment do check out WP:NPP an WP:CSD. You might like to consider using WP:Twinkle because it offers a dropdown menu of all the CSD types with description, and automatically notifies the creator.

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.
![]() So far, 79 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 64 have participated. Interest is high due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page, and many new and first-time copy editors have joined us for the drive. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the
Requests page. We have assisted in the promotion of seven articles to
Good article status so far this month.
We have already achieved our target of reducing the overall backlog by 10%; however, we have more work to do with the 2009 backlog. We have almost eliminated May 2009 and we only have some 700 articles left from 2009. It is excellent progress, so let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive report
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive! This newsletter summarizes the March drive and other recent events.
![]() There were 99 signups for the drive; of these, 70 participated. Interest was high mainly due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page. We had a record-breaking 84 articles listed on the Requests page in March; 11 of these have been promoted to Good article status so far. Several of our recent efforts have received Featured Article status as well, and the GOCE is becoming a solid resource for the Wikipedia community. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.
Remarkable progress was made in reducing the backlog this month, as we now have fewer than 500 articles remaining from 2009. We are well under the 4,000-article mark for the total number remaining in the queue. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 53% of the backlog. A complete list of results and barnstars awarded can be found here. Barnstars will be distributed over the next week. If you enjoyed participating in our event, you may also like to join the Wikification drives, which are held on alternate months to our drives. Their April drive has started.
On March 21, SMasters appointed Chaosdruid ( talk) and Torchiest ( talk) as Guild coordinators to serve in place of The Utahraptor, who recently stepped down. Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance. Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk) and Tea with toast ( Talk) |

I explained in my message to you, Aleksandar Sarievski(1922-2002) was only Folk song singer and he can't compose or write something that is 500 years old {absurd} This is Macedonia root song, just like Chinese, Black American, Indian, Egypt etc. Root Song/folk song and it belongs to the people and not to Mr. Sarievski.

Concensus consists of 3 people who are against it (my edit) please give solid prof thet Aleksandar Sarievski composed and wrote this song, you cant because musical score/arrangements for this song made Orchestra of Radio Television Serbia (Yugoslavia) back in 1950's based on version played, sung on weddings, taverns, street...etc. song is tranfered from generation to genaration-- 70.130.144.54 ( talk) 13:28, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
It is probably a good idea not to get involved. Some bad things were said, and a ruckus ensued. With luck it will die down if no one else brings it back to the fore.
Unfortunately Blofeld did say some things which, while I am not sure were intended in quite the way the were taken, was inappropriate, childish and totally over the line. -- Errant ( chat!) 13:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I know that the AfD message shouldn't normally go on a template, but the template places it on the 2500 articles which are up for AfD (check the AfD link to see what I am talking about). The red box on the template doesn't hurt anyone, and it is by far the easiest way of producing the AfD messages. Fram ( talk) 09:06, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, please consider doing so. Every bit helps! If you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're on track to meet our targets for the drive, largely due to the efforts of Lfstevens and the others on the leaderboard. Thanks to all. We have reduced our target group of articles—January, February, and March 2011—by over half, and it looks like we will achieve that goal. Good progress is being made on the overall backlog as well, with over 500 articles copy-edited during the drive so far. The total backlog currently sits at around 3200 articles.

Invitation from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their July 2012 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Hi. I've noticed that you have templated some users with problematic usernames. It's appreciated, for real. The only thing I'd say is just to remember that the entire purpose of those templates is to inform people that there is a problem when they likely do not know the name is a problem. You tagged one name recently that was pretty offensive - the user no doubt knew the name was inappropriate so you didn't have to inform him that it was - next time, just report those directly to WP:UAA - but only if it's obvious, remember. The other thing I'd say again is to remember that the templates are about communicating things to people, so you've got to make the templates output things in complete sentences. For example, in this edit, you wrote "may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because unambigous advertising". You need a few more words in there to have it make sense. And I would add, in that particular case, unless I've missed something, that the name is not actually unambiguous advertising as you say it is because there are no edits or surrounding evidence to tie it to a company or anything promotional. That does not mean you can't use the template, because you may in the end have been right, but I would have avoided the word 'unambiguous' because it wasn't unambiguous at that point. Hope this helps. NTox · talk 20:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

So it means I am a vandal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckydhaliwal ( talk • contribs) 19:29, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
But why should he revert my work when it is correct. He often reverts my editing and earlier with great difficulty I explained him how he was wrong and then he accepted that he was wrong and reverted my edits. But i cannot explain him everytime. This does not mean that if he is a admin he is always right and other editors are wrong. Simply writing that earlier was better is not sufficient, he should explain why earlier was better. Luckydhaliwal ( talk) 19:58, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Lerdthenerd,
I changed the text back because the original version made better sense - the phrasing suggesting that the stories about Roger's youth may have just been stories. That was part of his character - he was renown for being a great storyteller.
As it is now, the punctuation isn't right and it loses the 'was it really true' quality. If your objective is to make the posting more factual that objective has not been met - it would have been better to cut that sentence out.
The other thing is, his family have read and approved of the original version, and it has been put together by someone who actually knew him.
I'm not quite sure why somebody who seems to not be particularly interested in jazz or having any personal connection would want to alter it - but your prompt removal of my alteration suggests that it's important to you - so I'll bow to your greater IT skill and let you get on with it.
Anyone with any personal knowledge of Roger Rae will know that as it stands it's wrong - but hey - what do we know...

Thank you for your report at
Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention (UAA). However, your report was removed as UAA is for
username policy infringements that are serious enough to warrant an immediate block. General name policy violations should first be discussed with the user on their talk page. A helpful template to do just that is {{
subst:
Uw-username}}. Note that a
request for comment can be filed if the user disagrees that their name is against the
username policy, or has continued to edit after you have expressed your concern. You may find the
UAA instructions helpful, and I'd recommend reading them over prior to making future reports to UAA. Thank you. You may want to review the comments for your submissions at
WP:UAA for clarification. Several of your submissions appear not to meet UAA guidelines. -

Hello, I understand that you are concerned about repeated editing by Abishek & myself. I have repeatedly tried to reason out with him & even discuss something else with him so that we can understand each other & work backwards but nothing has come out of it except his repeated threats. His contributions on the images has been close to ZERO. He adds nothing to the article but is 1st in line to remove images uploaded by me.
I have repeadtly tried to work it out with him but as nothing has come out of it & in view of his threats, i intend to move for blocking him from editing. Superfast1111 ( talk) 04:30, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Its good to know that Abhishek is doing some thinking. He is making a sorry attempt to glorify himself as some sort of expert whereas the fact remains that he has little or no factual information and can't understand it if someone explains it to him. What he has completely omitted to say is that there are several others who have undone his edits of my work also. There is a line between opinions & facts. He does not seem to know what it is. He has no images to add but wants to go around removing what others have uploaded. One particular editor has even stated that perhaps Abhishek is jealous of the fact that others have been adding images & he has zero images to add.
I can hardly be blamed for travelling extensively on Indian Railways having made several trips & taking lots of images or being passionate about Indian Railways. I simply say that if he feels my images are not relevant, let us see him uploading images of relevance but nothing so far. And ofcourse his constant threats of blocking me from editing on wikipedia have not helped either. He continues to edit without thinking what he is doing.
Question for you: How does one go about preventing or blocking others from editing on wikipedia? There is another gentleman Tiderolls who i have been in touch with regarding Abhishek's disruptive editing. Maybe you can have a word with him. Superfast1111 ( talk) 10:50, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. — Tivedshambo ( t/ c) 12:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 ( talk) 23:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

This is not the proper tag for this type of problem. The author has copied material from the List of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps characters article. Rather than propose the new article for deletion to make way for a page move (which is not going to happen), it would be better to revert the deletion of material at the source article (which has been done) and to change this new page to a redirect to the original.

Hello,
Just a quick question. You removed the external link I provided on the AvPD webpage to this youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ7qYH4ud4U asserting that it is under copyright. This seems highly unlikely to me?
You also said it can't be used anyway, presumably because it is not a source that represents an "authority" on the matter. However, the link specifically states that it provides a first-person, subjective or phenomenological account of AvPD. Inherently, an authority on such an experience is a person with that diagnosis. It's inclusion is merited due to the fact that subjective accounts of such conditions differ from objective categorial entries from diagnosticians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FiachraByrne ( talk • contribs) 13:37, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.
![]() So far, 79 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 64 have participated. Interest is high due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page, and many new and first-time copy editors have joined us for the drive. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the
Requests page. We have assisted in the promotion of seven articles to
Good article status so far this month.
We have already achieved our target of reducing the overall backlog by 10%; however, we have more work to do with the 2009 backlog. We have almost eliminated May 2009 and we only have some 700 articles left from 2009. It is excellent progress, so let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success!

Guild of Copy Editors March 2011 backlog elimination drive report
Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
March 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating in the March 2011 drive! This newsletter summarizes the March drive and other recent events.
![]() There were 99 signups for the drive; of these, 70 participated. Interest was high mainly due to a link to our event from the Watchlist page. We had a record-breaking 84 articles listed on the Requests page in March; 11 of these have been promoted to Good article status so far. Several of our recent efforts have received Featured Article status as well, and the GOCE is becoming a solid resource for the Wikipedia community. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.
Remarkable progress was made in reducing the backlog this month, as we now have fewer than 500 articles remaining from 2009. We are well under the 4,000-article mark for the total number remaining in the queue. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 53% of the backlog. A complete list of results and barnstars awarded can be found here. Barnstars will be distributed over the next week. If you enjoyed participating in our event, you may also like to join the Wikification drives, which are held on alternate months to our drives. Their April drive has started.
On March 21, SMasters appointed Chaosdruid ( talk) and Torchiest ( talk) as Guild coordinators to serve in place of The Utahraptor, who recently stepped down.

Aleksandar was Macedonian traditional music - folk singer and thats it, he was not composer nor song writer and { Zajdi zajdi song } is ancient and at least 500 years old. Im guessing Mr. Sarievski lived 500+ years Please don't make Macedonian history based on lies and fiction. I lived in SFRJ long enough to know what is what and who is who.-- 70.130.144.54 ( talk) 10:53, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
I explained in my message to you, Aleksandar Sarievski(1922-2002) was only Folk song singer and he can't compose or write something that is 500 years old {absurd} This is Macedonia root song, just like Chinese, Black American, Indian, Egypt etc. Root Song/folk song and it belongs to the people and not to Mr. Sarievski.

that has nothing to do with the argument, you insist on changing the author wrote and composed to the author recorded, when there is large consensus against you, gain consensus and stop edit warring-- Lerdthenerd wiki defender 13:18, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Concensus consists of 3 people who are against it (my edit) please give solid prof thet Aleksandar Sarievski composed and wrote this song, you cant because musical score/arrangements for this song made Orchestra of Radio Television Serbia (Yugoslavia) back in 1950's based on version played, sung on weddings, taverns, street...etc. song is tranfered from generation to genaration-- 70.130.144.54 ( talk) 13:28, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
It is probably a good idea not to get involved. Some bad things were said, and a ruckus ensued. With luck it will die down if no one else brings it back to the fore.
Unfortunately Blofeld did say some things which, while I am not sure were intended in quite the way the were taken, was inappropriate, childish and totally over the line. -- Errant ( chat!) 13:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I know that the AfD message shouldn't normally go on a template, but the template places it on the 2500 articles which are up for AfD (check the AfD link to see what I am talking about). The red box on the template doesn't hurt anyone, and it is by far the easiest way of producing the AfD messages. Fram ( talk) 09:06, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Greetings from the
Guild of Copy Editors
May 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.
![]() So far, 54 people have signed up for the drive, and 33 are actively participating. If you signed up for the drive but have not participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you have not signed up for the drive yet, you can
sign up now. If you have questions about getting started, feel free to
talk to us. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the
Requests page. We currently have 17 articles awaiting edit.
We are making slow progress on achieving our target of reducing the overall backlog by 15%; in order to accomplish this goal we will need to complete about 400 more articles. However, we are making good progress on the 2009 backlog, as we have eliminated over half of the articles from 2009 that were present at the start of the drive. Let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009; leaderboard awards will be handed out for 2009 articles this drive. Thank you for participating in the May 2011 drive. We hope it will be another success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters ( talk), Diannaa ( Talk), Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest |

March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{ GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated. Our next copy-edit drive will be in May.

Hi. I've noticed that you have templated some users with problematic usernames. It's appreciated, for real. The only thing I'd say is just to remember that the entire purpose of those templates is to inform people that there is a problem when they likely do not know the name is a problem. You tagged one name recently that was pretty offensive - the user no doubt knew the name was inappropriate so you didn't have to inform him that it was - next time, just report those directly to WP:UAA - but only if it's obvious, remember. The other thing I'd say again is to remember that the templates are about communicating things to people, so you've got to make the templates output things in complete sentences. For example, in this edit, you wrote "may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because unambigous advertising". You need a few more words in there to have it make sense. And I would add, in that particular case, unless I've missed something, that the name is not actually unambiguous advertising as you say it is because there are no edits or surrounding evidence to tie it to a company or anything promotional. That does not mean you can't use the template, because you may in the end have been right, but I would have avoided the word 'unambiguous' because it wasn't unambiguous at that point. Hope this helps. NTox · talk 20:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

He often reverts my editing and earlier with great difficulty I explained him how he was wrong and then he accepted that he was wrong and reverted my edits. But i cannot explain him everytime. This does not mean that if he is a admin he is always right and other editors are wrong. Simply writing that earlier was better is not sufficient, he should explain why earlier was better.

Hi Lerdthenerd,
I changed the text back because the original version made better sense - the phrasing suggesting that the stories about Roger's youth may have just been stories. That was part of his character - he was renown for being a great storyteller.
As it is now, the punctuation isn't right and it loses the 'was it really true' quality. If your objective is to make the posting more factual that objective has not been met - it would have been better to cut that sentence out.
The other thing is, his family have read and approved of the original version, and it has been put together by someone who actually knew him.
I'm not quite sure why somebody who seems to not be particularly interested in jazz or having any personal connection would want to alter it - but your prompt removal of my alteration suggests that it's important to you - so I'll bow to your greater IT skill and let you get on with it.
Anyone with any personal knowledge of Roger Rae will know that as it stands it's wrong - but hey - what do we know...

Thank you for your report at
Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention (UAA). However, your report was removed as UAA is for
username policy infringements that are serious enough to warrant an immediate block. General name policy violations should first be discussed with the user on their talk page. A helpful template to do just that is {{
subst:
Uw-username}}. Note that a
request for comment can be filed if the user disagrees that their name is against the
username policy, or has continued to edit after you have expressed your concern. You may find the
UAA instructions helpful, and I'd recommend reading them over prior to making future reports to UAA. Thank you. You may want to review the comments for your submissions at
WP:UAA for clarification. Several of your submissions appear not to meet UAA guidelines. -

That was quick—I'm very impressed. In case you hadn't noticed, however, that's a page for running tests, and I'm trying to run tests on it. Please don't revert the PC testing pages, at least not in the next hour or so, okay? Thanks much! Rivertorch ( talk) 08:07, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

...before you revert. Probably one of the most famous Sikh fictional charachters. Look here. BTW there is a huge white Sikh community in America. SH 17:22, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Why was it that you gave a 3RR warning to me? Do you even know what 3RR means? And btw, where is the edit war in the first place? Go through the article history before you try to warn anyone, and yeah WP:DTTR of course. — Abhishek Talk 18:09, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
— Abhishek Talk 18:12, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
A longstanding edit war over a week is still an edit war, the history of the article you worked on yesterday just consists of reverts between you and superfast i think that makes an edit war regardless if he was the disruptive one. also thanks for the trout yum!

Hello, I understand that you are concerned about repeated editing by Abishek & myself. I have repeatedly tried to reason out with him & even discuss something else with him so that we can understand each other & work backwards but nothing has come out of it except his repeated threats. His contributions on the images has been close to ZERO. He adds nothing to the article but is 1st in line to remove images uploaded by me.
I have repeadtly tried to work it out with him but as nothing has come out of it & in view of his threats, i intend to move for blocking him from editing. Superfast1111 ( talk) 04:30, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Its good to know that Abhishek is doing some thinking. He is making a sorry attempt to glorify himself as some sort of expert whereas the fact remains that he has little or no factual information and can't understand it if someone explains it to him. What he has completely omitted to say is that there are several others who have undone his edits of my work also. There is a line between opinions & facts. He does not seem to know what it is. He has no images to add but wants to go around removing what others have uploaded. One particular editor has even stated that perhaps Abhishek is jealous of the fact that others have been adding images & he has zero images to add.
I can hardly be blamed for travelling extensively on Indian Railways having made several trips & taking lots of images or being passionate about Indian Railways. I simply say that if he feels my images are not relevant, let us see him uploading images of relevance but nothing so far. And ofcourse his constant threats of blocking me from editing on wikipedia have not helped either. He continues to edit without thinking what he is doing.
Question for you: How does one go about preventing or blocking others from editing on wikipedia? There is another gentleman Tiderolls who i have been in touch with regarding Abhishek's disruptive editing. Maybe you can have a word with him. Superfast1111 ( talk) 10:50, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ekab, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mayan ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
