Hi. I noticed that you placed E104421 ( talk · contribs) on parole, but I think the activity of other edit warriors on the same article also deserves attention. Please have a look at the reverting activity of VartanM ( talk · contribs) within the last week on the same article about Shusha: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Please note that the last 3 rvs were made yesterday, and if E104421 gets punished for making 3 rvs, it would be fair to also look into similar behavior by other users, considering that VartanM has recently been officially warned by another admin to stop edit warring: [6] I believe users should not be treated differently for the same offense. Regards, Grandmaster ( talk) 08:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
The third one is not actually a revert, since i added extra sources and quotations. In addition, i restored the previously removed sourced material, and added the missing see also link that VartanM suggested in the talk page. VartanM, on the other hand, just deletes the sourced information, but creates artificial reasons to accuse editors. Placing me on that parole is not fair, i think. Your comment for me "History of edit warring on Armenia-Azerbaijan articles, has a history of blocks on a number of related articles from earlier this year" is not correct, since this was the first time i edited Armenia-Azerbaijan articles. My previous blocks were on Eurasian nomads and Nomadic Empires related topics which is totally irrelevant. Regards. E104421 ( talk) 10:55, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nishkid64, hope you're well. I see you placed E104421 under editing restrictions for edit warring on Armenia-Azerbaijani relacted articles. Just after you did this, I placed VartanM under restrictions for similar reasons to you. Kiril's just clarified the ruling in the arbitration case [[ here and has stated that there must be incivility for users to be placed under parole and I can't see any incilivty from either of the users, so on retrospect, I think we were both wrong to place the users on the supervised editing list. Would you have any problems with me removing the editing restrictions from them? Ryan Postlethwaite 11:11, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
DYK is in red alert. Only one hour but the previous one was 18 hours late (I put some of the current hooks in the next update that is on the main page 24 hours ago!). The one before than was 7 hours late. Therefore, we are 3 cycles behind or 18 lost hook opportunities. I see that you have edited within the past hour. Thank you for your help.

Hey could you take a look at this edit by Hoopsworldscout ( talk · contribs)? You helped out with this user a little while back and I think the POV issues are still there. The edit he has put into this article as shown there (which was also put in in two other articles) looks like it's not neutral. It looks like it it's championing the spirit of the individuals and bemoaning the fact that the side that won the election did it through big business donations. He argues that because it's factual, it has to be in there. Thoughts? Metros ( talk) 20:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nishkid64, thank you for reviewing the case and lifting the parale. Regards. E104421 ( talk) 13:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment. I'm not commenting anymore 'cause I don't want to be perceived as harassing the opposers. As you say, though, I'm used to the community expecting a nom to put forth the best image possible. Paying attention to minutiae. This includes not redacting ones own comments. I've seen opposes based on that and minor typo's. I don't understand his rationale here. Thanks again. Cheers, 14:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I am looking for the article that was entitled Building Block Theory that was tied to Nation Building on Wikipedia. I am a city Mayor in Anoka, Minnesota in the USA and am writing about Building Block Theory. I wanted to have something external to go from for my bibliography. It appears that the article was deleted, which among other things linked to external sites. Is there anyway for myself or for you to retrieve it, even if it doesn't get reposted? I would love to get hold of this information for the book I am writing about the local authority and responsability to localize.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The prices of the cars are based on Indian prices since they are in rupees and in lakhs in Mumbai. ( http://www.hondacarindia.com/ownahonda/pricelist.asp) ( http://2006sonata_in.in.trs.carscomplete.com/hyundai/dispatch.do). The price of the home is in actual US figures I think. But that is on the East Coast, which is much cheaper. I live in the Beverly Hills / Hollywood ( Los Angeles)area now, so obviously the prices here are much much higher here since it is considered the wealthiest area in America. Hope you liked the pics from Flickr. Hope you like the Civic. Do u have one in India or the US? Cheers Nikkul ( talk) 05:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Can you see if Image:Screenshot 186619.jpg satisfies the copyright/fair use/source requirements? I put the tags on but they were removed, and what the editor put in doesn't seem like it would be good enough. TJ Spyke 02:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Got your message; User:Onomatopoeia is actually the principal editor of the article, he does edit from time to time. Anyway, great to know a FAC is on the way, looking forward to that. Chensiyuan 07:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Sir, the main page featured article is seeing a lot of anon vandalism. Please consider putting an anon lock for a short while. Dineshkannambadi 20:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I understand. However, I think some policy changes are really due for main page articles atleast, preventing anon edits. I do notice that images and templates got protected though. Dineshkannambadi 21:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I know what you mean. I console myself with the though that FA's get read by well intentioned readers on a day-to-day basis, not just on main page article day. In that sense, its worth all that effort. thanks. Dineshkannambadi 21:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Wow! thats a lot of edits. That topic you linked to, "GameFAQ's" must be a red hot button for many in the USA etc. Dineshkannambadi 21:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate your response my freind, but I think you mis-interpret the reason for my question. I'm not after responses detailing the rationale of each decision. I'm interested in how the candidate refutes my allegations (backed with evidence both ways) that they may make bad calls. Justification of individual episodes after the fact is easy. A good response on why those kind of situations will not arrise in the future is not so easy. I await the candidates response, rather than his nominators, if that's okay. He looks good, but you yourself admit at least one of those calls was pretty dodgy. Best. Pedro : Chat 22:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Im darkhelmet322, and you have wrongfuly blocked my ip address, 63.3.22.129, and i would like you to remove the block. You calaimed i have multipe accounts and something about JJonathan. Both of these statements are false, and i would appreciate if i could quickly use wikipedia without signing in. I would like you to remove this block, and, well that is about it. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkhelmet322 ( talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Regarding your recent comments on candidate votes pages, unfortunately, they are too long and should be made at the voting talk page. This determination was reached on prior consensus on the ArbCom Elections talk page. I've gone ahead and moved them appropriately, but feel free to edit my move to your liking. However, extended comments, like the ones you provided, belong on the talk page. Thanks, and forgive the inconvenience. - Mtmelendez ( Talk) 01:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
The reason I asked you this is because I find myself looking for innapropriate user names, removing nonsense unblock requests and providing rationale as to why they should/shouldn't be unblocked, hovering over orphaned non-free images with an unquentiable urge to delete them, and trying to mediate discussions at WP:AN/I.

Why didn't I propose or somebody propose Deforestation in Brazil as a DYK? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 15:56, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I forgot. Could I try to sneak it in? I'm gradually writing it. I have a great of work to do on scientific analysis of deforestation in Brazil and effects on climate and response by NGO's etc. The missing articles are shocking. Central Kalahari Game Reserve I just came across is the second largest reserve in the world yet was only one line a few minutes ago ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 20:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I did want to kind of lie low with it -you see its for the core article improvement competition thats perhaps why I didn't want it to get too much attention just yet. The most obvious one is Did you know that Brazil has the larger area of rainforest deforested annually? It used to have the highest deforestation rate but Nigeria does now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 20:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Care to update DYK? I see you edited 2 minutes ago. Archtransit 20:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Sir, could you unprotect the article for signed users so User talk:Writtenright can do some copy edits to the article. On main article day, some users commented (on the article talk page) that the article contains some adjectives that needs to be toned down. I felt the above user is experienced, objective and could do a good job.thanks Dineshkannambadi 03:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I have put stuff up I just don't know how to make a wiki page..... The stuff I have up is on my page... someone else is doing that, I was adopted... How do I make a page?????????
Thanks and have a wonderful day!
Rianon Burnet 14:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I would like to start my own page..... would that be ok, and how can I do that?
Rianon Burnet 14:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I am getting logged out when I go to the main page.... Is it something I did? I can click on something and will be logged back in just not on the main page....
Rianon Burnet 16:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thank you you are right, I just want to make sure I didn't do anything illigal that I didn't know about, I really appreciate it........... And thanks for making me aware of the things I didn't know about, I need to read everything and not just skim over things. thanks and I hope in the future if I do something not right you will make me aware of it as well, but lets hope that doesn't happen. Have a wonderful day and God Bless.....

Hi. I apologise if I have made any personal attack. I didn't meant user Ghanadar galpa to attack personally. See this [15]. He posted another link in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crime against foreigners in India to describe my personal behavour. I just wanted to respond to that. Again I am telling that I apologise if any personal attack is made by me. I will not make any comment can be called as personal attack from now. I also want you please tell user Ghanadar galpa not to place links like this in a page dedicated for debating over deletion. Thanking you. Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 02:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
First off, may I say thank you for your great support and also for waiting over a day for a reply. Really, it means so much to me that I can't even explain it and put it into words. Anyway, I've been thinking this over since yesterday and I'll think it's better if I wait until after Christmas possibly January. The main reason being I have stressful exams before Christmas and apparently, from what I've heard, Rfa's can be stressful so better to have the stress (if any) spread out if possible. There are still some things I want to do before starting the Rfa such as improving articles that I have promised myself that I would improve, create the article (that is currently userfied) in the mainspace, create some music templates (I know what articles need them badly) and do a bit more Xfd discussion participation. When I complete this list of things, I'll see how I feel about starting a Rfa but for now, at this moment in time, I'll have to decline this Rfa nomination. This is actually hard because part of me is screaming "Accept! Accept!!" but the other part is reminding me how my real life in the next two weeks will be: hectic, chaotic, insane seem to be the words that spring to mind. But it really really means a lot that you have so much faith in me and when I feel like I'm ready for an Rfa, I'll know who to go to for a nom but bear in mind it could possibly be a co-nom as a handful of people have asked me in the last two months. Again, cheers :D AngelOfSadness talk 20:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
That's basically it; my wife is a RuneScape player and was checking background info on its history (apparently in RuneScape Classic, one could fight PvP anywhere) when she came across the contentious paragraph that someone added as an apparent 'cry of despair', and you edited out. I was in the process of doing the same thing, but hadn't logged in to Wiki in ages so I was busy getting my password reset. :)
Thanks for your prompt and even-handed action; just thought you should know I'll be watching the page closely for similar desperate acts and have the next day off from work with little else to do. :D
Happy editing, and best wishes Empath ( talk) 01:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Great job on the reference cleanup on the Waddle article! Where this is linked from todays featured article on main, it was especially a good idea to tidy it up now. Thanks. JERRY talk contribs 04:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey Nishkid64, seeing as you created and worked on most of the Lists of "NFL team" first-round draft pick articles, I was wondering if you could give a couple lists I created a once over to make sure they are up to par. They are
List of Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks and
List of Seattle Seahawks first-round draft picks. If you had any input or suggestions, it would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry about that, I have no clue what happened. I was attempting to add someone who had not in fact edited since that date, and had said s/he'd be gone in the near future, but I mistakenly put your name (or an alternate version of your name) down instead of the correct one. I don't know how I got so mixed up with the names, and I have absolutely no recollection of who I was trying to add to the page. Again, sorry for the confusion, I certainly wasn't trying to write your wikiobituary!-- Cúchullain t/ c 05:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Nishkid hi, A few months back (April 25th 2007), you reviewed a page I submitted for the term "Omgili". At first you removed it, but then, after some research, decided it was worthy and reinstated it. A few weeks ago, another Wikipedia editor, username HMWITH, deleted this page. I have been trying to understand what has changed since your review and am not getting answers. Could you please look into this for me and tell me what I can do about it? Thanks for your help Yoav Pridor ( talk) 09:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nishkid64! How are you? I noticed that you have contributed to so many freatured articles and also created so many articles. Great contributions! I have a problem. How can I nominate an article for a 'good article' status? And, I also have a suggestion: Why don't you create a numbered list? It will be easier for other users to know how many articles you have created. Regards, Masterpiece2000 ( talk) 05:52, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I have responded to your comment on the FAC page. Could you please point specific issues? Thanks, Nishkid64 ( talk) 21:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Just voted my support for this one, can't wait to see it featured. Belated congrats on Thomas C. Hindman by the way! Cheers, CP 06:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Can you see if Image:Screenshot 186619.jpg satisfies the copyright/fair use/source requirements? I put the tags on but they were removed, and what the editor put in doesn't seem like it would be good enough. TJ Spyke 02:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Would you like to move the DYK next updates hooks to the main page. It's due but not overdue! Thank you. Archtransit 03:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Got your message; User:Onomatopoeia is actually the principal editor of the article, he does edit from time to time. Anyway, great to know a FAC is on the way, looking forward to that. Chensiyuan 07:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Sir, the main page featured article is seeing a lot of anon vandalism. Please consider putting an anon lock for a short while. Dineshkannambadi 20:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I understand. However, I think some policy changes are really due for main page articles atleast, preventing anon edits. I do notice that images and templates got protected though. Dineshkannambadi 21:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I know what you mean. I console myself with the though that FA's get read by well intentioned readers on a day-to-day basis, not just on main page article day. In that sense, its worth all that effort. thanks. Dineshkannambadi 21:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Wow! thats a lot of edits. That topic you linked to, "GameFAQ's" must be a red hot button for many in the USA etc. Dineshkannambadi 21:33, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate your response my freind, but I think you mis-interpret the reason for my question. I'm not after responses detailing the rationale of each decision. I'm interested in how the candidate refutes my allegations (backed with evidence both ways) that they may make bad calls. Justification of individual episodes after the fact is easy. A good response on why those kind of situations will not arrise in the future is not so easy. I await the candidates response, rather than his nominators, if that's okay. He looks good, but you yourself admit at least one of those calls was pretty dodgy. Best. Pedro : Chat 22:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Im darkhelmet322, and you have wrongfuly blocked my ip address, 63.3.22.129, and i would like you to remove the block. You calaimed i have multipe accounts and something about JJonathan. Both of these statements are false, and i would appreciate if i could quickly use wikipedia without signing in. I would like you to remove this block, and, well that is about it. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkhelmet322 ( talk • contribs) 16:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Regarding your recent comments on candidate votes pages, unfortunately, they are too long and should be made at the voting talk page. This determination was reached on prior consensus on the ArbCom Elections talk page. I've gone ahead and moved them appropriately, but feel free to edit my move to your liking. However, extended comments, like the ones you provided, belong on the talk page. Thanks, and forgive the inconvenience. - Mtmelendez ( Talk) 01:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
The reason I asked you this is because I find myself looking for innapropriate user names, removing nonsense unblock requests and providing rationale as to why they should/shouldn't be unblocked, hovering over orphaned non-free images with an unquentiable urge to delete them, and trying to mediate discussions at WP:AN/I. Maser ( Talk!) 07:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Why didn't I propose or somebody propose Deforestation in Brazil as a DYK? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 15:56, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I forgot. Could I try to sneak it in? I'm gradually writing it. I have a great of work to do on scientific analysis of deforestation in Brazil and effects on climate and response by NGO's etc. The missing articles are shocking. Central Kalahari Game Reserve I just came across is the second largest reserve in the world yet was only one line a few minutes ago ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 20:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I did want to kind of lie low with it -you see its for the core article improvement competition thats perhaps why I didn't want it to get too much attention just yet. The most obvious one is Did you know that Brazil has the larger area of rainforest deforested annually? It used to have the highest deforestation rate but Nigeria does now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 20:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Care to update DYK? I see you edited 2 minutes ago. Archtransit 20:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Sir, could you unprotect the article for signed users so User talk:Writtenright can do some copy edits to the article. On main article day, some users commented (on the article talk page) that the article contains some adjectives that needs to be toned down. I felt the above user is experienced, objective and could do a good job.thanks Dineshkannambadi 03:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I have put stuff up I just don't know how to make a wiki page..... The stuff I have up is on my page... someone else is doing that, I was adopted... How do I make a page?????????
Thanks and have a wonderful day!
Rianon Burnet 14:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I would like to start my own page..... would that be ok, and how can I do that?
Rianon Burnet 14:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I am getting logged out when I go to the main page.... Is it something I did? I can click on something and will be logged back in just not on the main page....
Rianon Burnet 16:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
thank you you are right, I just want to make sure I didn't do anything illigal that I didn't know about, I really appreciate it........... And thanks for making me aware of the things I didn't know about, I need to read everything and not just skim over things. thanks and I hope in the future if I do something not right you will make me aware of it as well, but lets hope that doesn't happen. Have a wonderful day and God Bless.....

Hi. I apologise if I have made any personal attack. I didn't meant user Ghanadar galpa to attack personally. See this [15]. He posted another link in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crime against foreigners in India to describe my personal behavour. I just wanted to respond to that. Again I am telling that I apologise if any personal attack is made by me. I will not make any comment can be called as personal attack from now. I also want you please tell user Ghanadar galpa not to place links like this in a page dedicated for debating over deletion. Thanking you. Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 02:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
First off, may I say thank you for your great support and also for waiting over a day for a reply. Really, it means so much to me that I can't even explain it and put it into words. Anyway, I've been thinking this over since yesterday and I'll think it's better if I wait until after Christmas possibly January. The main reason being I have stressful exams before Christmas and apparently, from what I've heard, Rfa's can be stressful so better to have the stress (if any) spread out if possible. There are still some things I want to do before starting the Rfa such as improving articles that I have promised myself that I would improve, create the article (that is currently userfied) in the mainspace, create some music templates (I know what articles need them badly) and do a bit more Xfd discussion participation. When I complete this list of things, I'll see how I feel about starting a Rfa but for now, at this moment in time, I'll have to decline this Rfa nomination. This is actually hard because part of me is screaming "Accept! Accept!!" but the other part is reminding me how my real life in the next two weeks will be: hectic, chaotic, insane seem to be the words that spring to mind. But it really really means a lot that you have so much faith in me and when I feel like I'm ready for an Rfa, I'll know who to go to for a nom but bear in mind it could possibly be a co-nom as a handful of people have asked me in the last two months. Again, cheers :D AngelOfSadness talk 20:41, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
That's basically it; my wife is a RuneScape player and was checking background info on its history (apparently in RuneScape Classic, one could fight PvP anywhere) when she came across the contentious paragraph that someone added as an apparent 'cry of despair', and you edited out. I was in the process of doing the same thing, but hadn't logged in to Wiki in ages so I was busy getting my password reset. :)
Thanks for your prompt and even-handed action; just thought you should know I'll be watching the page closely for similar desperate acts and have the next day off from work with little else to do. :D
Happy editing, and best wishes Empath ( talk) 01:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Great job on the reference cleanup on the Waddle article! Where this is linked from todays featured article on main, it was especially a good idea to tidy it up now. Thanks. JERRY talk contribs 04:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey Nishkid64, seeing as you created and worked on most of the Lists of "NFL team" first-round draft pick articles, I was wondering if you could give a couple lists I created a once over to make sure they are up to par. They are
List of Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks and
List of Seattle Seahawks first-round draft picks. If you had any input or suggestions, it would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry about that, I have no clue what happened. I was attempting to add someone who had not in fact edited since that date, and had said s/he'd be gone in the near future, but I mistakenly put your name (or an alternate version of your name) down instead of the correct one. I don't know how I got so mixed up with the names, and I have absolutely no recollection of who I was trying to add to the page. Again, sorry for the confusion, I certainly wasn't trying to write your wikiobituary!-- Cúchullain t/ c 05:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I think we just assigned blocks to the same page, don't mean to step on your toes:) DMacks ( talk) 03:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Nishkid hi, A few months back (April 25th 2007), you reviewed a page I submitted for the term "Omgili". At first you removed it, but then, after some research, decided it was worthy and reinstated it. A few weeks ago, another Wikipedia editor, username HMWITH, deleted this page. I have been trying to understand what has changed since your review and am not getting answers. Could you please look into this for me and tell me what I can do about it? Thanks for your help Yoav Pridor ( talk) 09:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I am currently improving Gimme More for FA and aside from formal peer review, I am looking forward for some comments on the article for further improvements. Could you give me some feedbacks?

DYK is 2 hours late. Have any time to move the next updates to the main page? Archtransit ( talk) 20:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you! Even more impressive is that the "BUSY" sign is flashing but you did it anyway! Archtransit ( talk) 20:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Nishkid64! How are you? I noticed that you have contributed to so many freatured articles and also created so many articles. Great contributions! I have a problem. How can I nominate an article for a 'good article' status? And, I also have a suggestion: Why don't you create a numbered list? It will be easier for other users to know how many articles you have created. Regards, Masterpiece2000 ( talk) 05:52, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
