Hi Samirbhai - thanks for your kind words! I do feel that the present less than 1% of WP content being FA situation is grossly unacceptable. Btw, please check out Muhammad Iqbal and give me your advice on making it an FA! Rama's Arrow 12:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Ah. No problem at all. Popups is a handy tool!. Things are great here (especially because I have access to unlimited broadband from today:)). Hope you are well too. I really admire the way you can take out time for wikipedia. I know how doctor's lives are. Did I ever tell you that my dad, mom, sis, mama and mami are all docs? - Aksi_great ( talk) 16:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Though I don't think his behavior warrants cutting off his internet completely, maybe they should restrict access to this site or such? Of course, mum and dad would find out, so I guess that would stave off future vandalism. Master of Puppets FREE BIRD! 12:28, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering, but you say in your little bio that you and your family are from India, but you have a user box that says you are from Canada. Not that it's a big deal, but you could always change it to the one I use, which just says I am a citizen of Canada. As I said, it's not like it's a big deal, but I just kind of noticed it so I thought I'd ask. Biff Loman 17:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry about that inadvertant deletion of an AfD. I was desprately trying to add something to it but to no avail. I followed directions exactly but it wasn't working. Do you have any suggestions for how to correctly add a page?
I have been looking for the indef blocked tags...any idea where they are...I don't do lots of blocks and rarely do any indefinite ones. Also thanks for your kind words over at AN/I...but I will try to temper my responses better.-- MONGO 04:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Seriously! I'm very glad to hear what you think, and that's probably the nicest neutral vote that anyone has ever gotten. :) Thanks. -- Nataly a 04:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I've already done my electives for this year; so, no Kamel Kamel this summer-- but I'll keep the name in mind. As for working on gastroenterology-- I'm pretty swamped at the moment and the last rotation didn't go as well as I'd liked; so, the time I'll spend here in the next while will probably be working on random articles related to what rotation I'm on.

Most physicians I know use a CBC shorthand that includes Hematocrit on the bottom and the notation looks like an "X". Do you have a schematic of that? Ace-o-aces 20:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
In the US we typicly use an X. WBC and platlets are in the same place. HgB is on tap an HCT in on the bottom (which is a bit redundant, I admit). MCV, MCH and MCHC are sometimes listed in that order from left to right coming off of the upper right part of the X (at least that's how they taught us at UIC. Honestly, I haven't seen that form of notation very often). Ace-o-aces 20:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Dude, this is unbelievable. I have nothing to add - Crohn's should be a featured article by the virtue of your work alone!
One stylistic thing - is there anything we can use instead of boldface to emphasise things? I tend to use italics, although I don't even know if the WP:MOS allows that. JFW | T@lk 07:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
This is a great piece of work. On smoking, most sources seem to say that smoking increases the risk of Crohn's. The Pathology section keeps referring to the "colon", which Wkipedia defines as the large intestine". Since Crohn's is usually in the small intestine, at least some of these should be referring to that. Could you check this to make sure you've said it right? M dorothy

Smair, my IP address is 71.98.22.81 and was currently tagged with a warning from you. I am confused about the allusions of 'vandalism.' Either another user has fluctuated onto my IP address (which has happened in the past)) or you are mistaken. Please remove your comments. Thank you. FA_Aodhan 3:50, 06 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Samir. Please do accept your nomination. It would be extremely helpful to wikipedia if dedicated editors like you become admins. What say? - Aksi_great ( talk) 09:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia style is to put references after punctuation, and never precede them with spaces. As interesting as your articles are, they are a pain to edit for that, so it'd be really nice if you could use the format suggested at WP:FOOTNOTES. I'll try to have a look at Crohn's disease asap. Circeus 17:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for commenting on my RfA...it was greatly appreciated! -- Osbus 21:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you uploaded this image: [1] with the summary of "PA view Chest X-Ray of Canadian dollar coin in esophagus of child. Released per permission of mother." but the liscence tag lists you as the creator. I'm also slightly concerned because if there was an x-ray tech that tag might be inaccurate. I don't know much about what the rules are for an X-ray, so I'd be happy to hear any clarifications you have and/or burning need to tell me I'm being stupid here. JoshuaZ 03:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Samir, I'm new to this whole thing. I was adding my pages for boomtrek like below in the correct destinations they were removed because of spam. Is my site not useful? I have mapping of millions of points-of-interest all over the world and I was trying to promote its regional-specific areas applicable to each region.
Am I allowed to add these into Wikipedia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boomtrek ( talk • contribs) .
I was thinking more along the lines of software, since I like computers and programming more than bio and medicine. --May the Force be with you! Shr e shth91 (review me!) 07:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I've been around for over 2 years, the latest site I revised took me 2 months and 7500 webpages later voila its alive. Did you check my site? Did you see the maps, I think the site can be highly useful to people that's what I am trying to get listed on Wiki to start some traffic coming by for a visit.
Here is an example of what it can do:
Sample point of interest page:
I dont have any income, bookings or revenue from the site, its really just a hobby at this point like any other chamber of commerce or tourism websites. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boomtrek ( talk • contribs) .
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad to see that even if my articles are not picked up on the Main Page. that they are enjoyed by others. There is much heraldic information out there for people to learn...hopefully, I've whetted your appetite.-- E va d b 09:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for putting up the direct link, but I really think this is more trouble than it's worth. It's fine if there was just the one instance, but when there's 23 distinct species and several other pages on each, the home page really works best. It's becomes really silly to direct people to only one page when the Contents works better and is much easier. I've answered your other comments on my Talk page. CFLeon 03:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the letter you wrote me. I'm sorry, this is in poor English for I'm not an expert in your Language.
As you have seen, I'm a gastroenterologist in Hamburg Germany and I am working as an senior physician in the gastroenteroly department of the Albertinen hospital Hamburg (www.albertinen.de or for our heart-department: www.alberheart.com). We've posted an Atlas of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and one of Gastrointestinal Ultrasound on the Internet. I'm beginning now to put some of our pictures into the chapters of wikipedia.de. Unfortunatly our 2 altlases are only in German, but I think a picture is always better the a text. So if you want, you can have a look to the adresses: www.endoskopiebilder.de and www.sonographiebilder.de
I'm looking forward to hear from you about your plans building the Gastroenterology section on en.wikipedia.org.
Best wishes from Hamburg your J.Guntau

Hi Samir
Can you please let me know, how to make that article which I wrote appear in the Search?
The article on Rajat Mishra was not intended as a Userpage. I was still working on it, its incomplete.
Actually there were a few articles on this in a few newspapers in India, and lots of Indian sites, so thats why I was adding all that material.

What is the proper procedure for putting it on wikipedia so that it becomes searchable?
Please do let me know...
Also, is there some page where I can find some simplified information on how to make proper Wikipedia pages? The one on the official page, is not very clear...
Thanks for your help anyway...

I created a group to monitor statistics , which was deleted.Can you help retrieve? Geo.plrd 21:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
the group was to collect data that could be used to create statistics which could beused to create a better encyclopedia. The group was under construction. I also was looking for a Governance Council to run the group. I can understand deleting the subpage but deleting everything else? That is overkill. Geo. 01:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Samir, Thanks so much for the Barnstar!! A feels good to have one after a long time! I'm really glad that you're pleased with my contributions & hope to continue for a long time to come. Thanks again --

Hi Samir, You are one of the few names I recognized on Category:Physician Wikipedians, probably because of your recent RFA. Along those lines, congratulations!
A new user User:Aunt Amanda has contacted me on my talk ( link) and would like to start editing Biliary atresia but has a bunch of questions she left on the talk. Most seem to be basic formatting stuff, but she has asked for "rare disease article mentors". I'm not sure any such thing exists, but you seem like a likely person to know if it does. I'd appreciate any assistance in helping this newcomer get rolling. Cheers, BT 05:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
User: 205.188.117.6 has used the cat in ceiling image about 7 times tonight (you reversed once)...can you temp block them...I know it is AOL but maybe for a few hours or something?? KsprayDad 06:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I just had a quick look - I am interested, genetics would be where I can help the most. I am in the middle of exams at the moment - but when I hit holidays I'll be able to give some more time to wiki. (last exam on the 27th of July) In the mean time, if you feel like leaving a note on my talk page as to where I can help out, do and I'll have a look when I get a chance (also have a look at the Gene therapy article for examples of my work - I wrote the viral vectors section.). Thanks, Viridae 10:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I would appreciate it if you and/or your friends would stop attempting to change my RfA vote per this [2]. I do not know you and did not know your gender so I chose to avoid making assumptions and instead wrote it as s/he, i.e "she or he". I really don't know why you object to my expressing myself in this way as it is quite common to write various versions of "s/he" when a person is unknown, particularly on the internet where a person's gender is often unclear. The fact this comment has caused you to try to change my comment on more than one occasion makes me question your maturity and whether or not I made the right call when I chose to support your RfA. Please stop attempting to interfere with my vote. Sarah Ewart ( Talk) 10:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the vandalism revert on my talk page! -- GeorgeMoney T· C 16:49, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
The article has been deleted and will be again. I just restored temporarily to illustrate that the uploader of the cat image wasn't a serious contributor, given that the image has been used for vandalism hundreds of times, I nominated the image for deletion, but I needed proof that the uploader isn't serious and thus probably the copyright license was fake. I will remove the article when the IFD finishes. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:IFD#June_19 -- Drini 20:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Samir. This article has been nominated for deletion, and I have been requested help from User:BigHaz who feels that the nominator may be trolling/pointmaking, given his previous block for trolling and his bizarre arguments on the AfD. As the person who restarted Eurovision WikiProject (this is a Eurovision song)I think it would be out of order for me to judge the actions of the nominator.

Samir you were wrong in blocking me. Rajput Chief category is bogus. Do you know the history of rajasthan? Maharana Pratap was no chief. He was an Indian monarch. To call him a chief is working with a denigrating agenda and should not be tolerable to you as an Indian. Similarly ruling clans of India is far more descriptive and accurate for rajput gotra and shakha. It is one person's whim who frankly is a moron when it comes to rajputs and rajasthan that you are supporting. Y not 07:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

(reply on talk page): Was I not clear enough? You are not to revert the changes to these articles under ANY username -- Samir धर्म 18:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the revert of vandalism to my talk page.-- Dakota ~ 17:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Clearly you have read what Mozhi had to say. He is still lying! Rajput side had a few users none of whom were any socks as this fellow is shouting.
If you would like to read about Impumozhi's lack of knowledge/lying about rajputs please read this: [3] Then see his bizzare behavior on rathore page where he kept deleting references and kep inserting unreferenced template! [4]
Regarding Dbachmann, he is a racist who almost got banned by arbcom for using racist comments against ALL Indians. [5] For this comment arbcom decided to take away Dab's admin privileges [6]. But in the end they could not see one of there own loose to brown Asians. Read more [7] and some more [8]
Also this arbcom case was the most strange case. Entire rajput side were new to Wikipedia and had no idea that they had to present any evidence. So arbcom decided against us purely on Dbachmann's one sided evidence! Can you beleive this?
I followed debate between Nichalp and Shivraj. Nichal is a braiwashed Indian who thinks everything that originates from the mouth of westerner is gospel and that Indians cannot write objective history [9]. Shivraj tried to reason with him that he had created the rajput article after consulting close to a 100 books and these are all written by eminent historians. These historians were Indian, European and American. Some of them are still teaching in Universities all over the world. But impumozhi called these books pamphlets [10] though he has not read a single book in this list. Is this really scholarship that you want to support Samir?
Not only this these fellows are aligning with Muslims who have called all Jihad mongering terrorists of the world Rajputs. Read here : [11] (This above was written by a muslim and mozhi and gang support this group of muslims).
You have also seen wrong categorization on rajput kings by Mozhi in calling them chiefs. Samir I am hopeful that you will not side with these people. If you have more questions do let me know. It saddens me that Indians play to the galleries just to be "accepted".
-Digvijay.
Samir, you should not be complaining, you are in high favour. Of course, the blocking of an account is entirely passe for our friend, but I have rarely seen him so civil -- its evidently because the sign-link to your talk-page reads "Dharm."
I don't know where to begin on the case, especially while avoiding descent into personalities. It is extremely complex, especially when I consider that I initially started out by supporting him in one of his major battles (he has had many: me, Dbachmann n Zora, Paul Barlow, even Nichalp, etc etc; just try finding anything other than loud conflict on his original talkpage). Maybe reading this page, one of my vain attempts to reason with him, will help you get a start both on his mindset and on my problems with him.
At the time when I wrote that message to him, he was prosecuting a quarrel on the talk:Rajput page. That issue reached Arbitration Committee, where I made this statement. This is my definitive crime, please read this and also the links provided by me in that statement. Following this act, I was subjected to surpassingly vile abuse, with section-heading font of "Impumozhi is a liar" being pasted across Wikipedia, with some other write-up. That was the beginning and it has been downhill since. One of my great faults is of course that although I am an Indian, I supported the "Whiteboys" who "talk out of their ass"; that I am a Hindu and insisted on NPOV-ing the more egregious of his edits. Note that your support is also being exhorted on the same grounds: "To call him a chief is working with a denigrating agenda and should not be tolerable to you as an Indian." and again, "If you would just protect "Dharam" as your signature seems to signify by asking this idiot Impumozhi...." I need say no more.
Anyway, the arbcom case (where one side consisted almost exclusively of him and his 3-4 socks) went entirely against him: read this page, other pages it links to, and all associated discussion pages, if you have the leisure and patience. He grandly "resigned" from Wikipedia, and has been infesting it with his sock-a-day accounts since then.
Never never am I gonna start arguing with him on any point, so I will not answer his concerns expressed on your talk-page, except to say that this is the first time he made them known! Also that this is both mealy-mouthed and specious. MM because he has been reverting every edit of mine daily, including entirely unrelated pages like National Physical Laboratory, India, Kannada Brahmins and Konkani Brahmins, among several others. Specious because -- I will not get into that. OK, I will. Read Rao Sonag, Rao Doohad and over a dozen others and tell me if this suits "Monarchs of India." Also note that they are in that category, because Category:Rajput chiefs is a sub-category of Category:Indian monarchs, deserved or not. Same holds for Banaphar, Kheechee etc in relation to Category:Rajput clans and Category:Ruling clans of India.
I will conclude by referring you to the advise I recently gave another well-intentioned user: Do not feed the troll. Your comments so far to him have been exemplary, but give over making them altogether. Simply ignore any further comments by him on your talk-page. In all events, please do not ask or expect me to engage any further with him. If possible, please help me contain his vandalism. Best regards, ImpuMozhi 04:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Samir Sorry for misunderstanding your stand on "Needs Convenience "Article . I was not thinking striaght due to the fact that my article on "Lawtons' was on the delete list . Please forgive me -- Vic 05:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey Samir. I've shortened the I.M._Rich ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) block down to 48 hours, and explained to him that any further acting out will result in the restoration of his long involuntary wikibreak.
I'm not disputing your call that he deserved the block based on his recent behaviour – which can only be described as completely insane – but he seems genuinely remorseful, he has indicated that his actions were prompted by some recent personal problems, and he's expressed a desire go back to being a useful editor.
If, 48 hours from now, he runs amok again, I'm not going to trim whatever block you think is appropriate. (If I haven't blocked him myself.) TenOfAllTrades( talk) 06:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
If you personally do not want to help, please do not deprive my rights of asking help to other admins. Thanks. Fnhddzs 06:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear Admin, Thanks for your message. Here is what happend. We had an agreement on the vote we are proceeding. We agreed it is a consensus vote [12].
You could see clearly the question I posted was to ask whether it is a consensus vote. And the answer is yes.
However, user Yueyuen and Samuel Luo does not respect it. They insisted on posting the non-consensus voting results. Both CovenantD [13] and I have tried to remove the vandalism. However, the vandalism is still going on [14] [15] [16] however we tried to stop it. Please help or advise. Thanks, Fnhddzs 07:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I did not understand "if the first consensus opinion was truly consensus, it should be reflected in the straw poll as well", I don't think it is related to my question. People said the vote is a "consensus vote" [17] [18], that is, everyone has to agree with a new edition for it to update on the page. It is not a majority vote. We did not have a consensus opinion on the 1st paragraph of the article yet. However, a nonconsensus version was posted. Fnhddzs 07:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, we voted on the proposed new version of the 1st paragraph [19]. But not everyone voted agree. So we did not reach to consensus. I do not quite understand 'straw poll'. It sounds like a better idea to wait for each possible editor's opinion. But maybe I am wrong. Fnhddzs 07:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Samir (The Scope), I notice that you just protected the Falun Gong page. The paragraph in question has been discussed for over a week. The version I updated has the majority support when we voted a few hours ago. [20] Fnhddzs is the only one who rejects it even though I have accommodated to all of his complaints. [21] He seems to believe that he alone can prevent any editing on the Falun Gong article. What is the guideline for a situation like this? When something has the overwhelming majority support, is that enough validation for the changes to be made? Or changes can only be made when there is consensus? The protection is nice it gives us some time to discuss the issue further other than fighting a revert war. Thanks -- Samuel Luo 07:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I request that this be substituted for the 1st paragraph. It is the same wording that exists now, but returns the links to Wiktionary that have existed for months and properly formats the references. These are the only changes from the version that is in place. I've also placed this on the talk page, for any passing admins there. CovenantD 14:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
“ | Falun Gong, ( simplified Chinese: 法轮功; traditional Chinese: 法 輪 功; pinyin: Fǎlún Gōng; literally "Practice of the Wheel of Law") also known as Falun Dafa, ( simplified Chinese: 法轮大法; traditional Chinese: 法輪大法; pinyin: Fǎlún dàfǎ; lit. "Great Law of the Wheel of Law") is a system of mind and body cultivation introduced by Li Hongzhi (surname is Li) to the public in 1992. Falun Gong refers to five sets of meditation exercises (four standing, and one sitting meditation). [1] In Zhuan Falun, the Dafa is introduced this way: “Our Falun Dafa is one of the eighty-four thousand cultivation ways in the Buddha School. During the historical period of this human civilization, it has never been made public. In a prehistoric period, however, it was once widely used to provide salvation to humankind. In this final period of Last Havoc, I am making it public again. Therefore, it is extremely precious." [2] In recent years, added emphasis has been placed on the concept of Fa-Rectification. [3] | ” |
I've clarified what it is that I'm asking on the Admin's noticeboard. [22] Since you protected the page, I'm hoping that you'll heed the request that has the backing of Fire Star. CovenantD 06:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the favour of semi-protecting the page. Let's hope that supporters of Koh Gyudhae would cool down eventually and come to their senses and know more about wikipedia's rules, before we unprotect the page or take other essential actions.

Hi, thanks for the nice message. Not to worry, I think your actions were appropriate. Indeed, one of my projects for tonight was to send you a note saying that. Since the subject is so contentious and I have done a lot of editing on the article in the past, I feel it would be a conflict of interest for me to exercise any admin functions there beyond blocking the occasional incorrigibly abusive personal attack vandal.

Hi Samir, thanks for doing the last DYK update, nice selection of articles and hopefully you will continue updating as a "new pair of hands". Just a few minor things to remember: don't forget to archive the previous items from the template to the top of Template_talk:Did_you_know#Archive, including a link to the featured image in parentheses; images hosted on commons should be uploaded locally to WP if they're not protected on Commons, and tagged with the {{ C-uploaded}} template; don't forget to actually protect the image and unprotect the previous one that's just been replaced (or speedy delete it if it was C-uploaded).

Dear Samir, thanks a ton for the medal. Though it may appear self-referential, it would be irreverential ;) to not accept it from a good friend like you. However, to set the record straight, I've been updating DYK very rarely since mid-April. I updated DYK along with Peta, who taught me the ropes of updation. AFAICT, I updated DYK for four months, of which two months was almost an individual effort. However, of late, I don't find too much time in one tranche to do the updating. Also, the atmosphere has become vitiated slightly with one of the admins insisting that he doesn't see a conflict of interest in updating suggestions from his own articles. At least a couple of admins including me strongly object to this (especially given the number of his articles' DYKs) and several others support our stand with the lone dissension coming from that admin. The relevant discussion is here. So, I don't see myself updating DYK anytime sooner. However, i'd probly start creating articles once I get the time. Thanks a ton again, Samir. -- Gurubrahma 12:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Samir. You might want to comment at that page above. I think it will lead to a community morale drop if a person chooses their own DYK. By the way, if you're looking for stuff to delete, follow the image pics from the link at CAT:CSD - For today's deletion innings, I've registered a quadruple century - 430 not out- and that's still less than 20% of the backlog I think. Blnguyen | rant-line 06:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I'd look at CSD A7, that says (emphasis added):
An article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to AFD instead.
I would then check to see if ABCD is notable. If I see that is true (ABCD has published extensively in his field), I'd leave the page alone and remove the SD tag. If I check the guy wasn't really notable, I would take the page to AfD instead of simply speedy deleting it, as per the CSD A7 statement, and the fact that other people may find publications by ABCD that I might have overlooked, as that often happens in AfD discussions and I'm not too good in google searches, to speak the truth. fetofs Hello! 14:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering, but you say in your little bio that you and your family are from India, but you have a user box that says you are from Canada.

Most physicians I know use a CBC shorthand that includes Hematocrit on the bottom and the notation looks like an "X". Do you have a schematic of that? Ace-o-aces 20:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
In the US we typicly use an X. WBC and platlets are in the same place. HgB is on tap an HCT in on the bottom (which is a bit redundant, I admit). MCV, MCH and MCHC are sometimes listed in that order from left to right coming off of the upper right part of the X (at least that's how they taught us at UIC. Honestly, I haven't seen that form of notation very often). Ace-o-aces 20:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a great piece of work. On smoking, most sources seem to say that smoking increases the risk of Crohn's. The Pathology section keeps referring to the "colon", which Wkipedia defines as the large intestine". Since Crohn's is usually in the small intestine, at least some of these should be referring to that. Could you check this to make sure you've said it right? M dorothy

Smair, my IP address is 71.98.22.81 and was currently tagged with a warning from you. I am confused about the allusions of 'vandalism.' Either another user has fluctuated onto my IP address (which has happened in the past)) or you are mistaken. Please remove your comments. Thank you. FA_Aodhan 3:50, 06 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Samir. Please do accept your nomination. It would be extremely helpful to wikipedia if dedicated editors like you become admins. What say? - Aksi_great ( talk) 09:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia style is to put references after punctuation, and never precede them with spaces. As interesting as your articles are, they are a pain to edit for that, so it'd be really nice if you could use the format suggested at WP:FOOTNOTES. I'll try to have a look at Crohn's disease asap.

I noticed you uploaded this image: [1] with the summary of "PA view Chest X-Ray of Canadian dollar coin in esophagus of child. Released per permission of mother." but the liscence tag lists you as the creator. I'm also slightly concerned because if there was an x-ray tech that tag might be inaccurate. I don't know much about what the rules are for an X-ray, so I'd be happy to hear any clarifications you have and/or burning need to tell me I'm being stupid here. JoshuaZ 03:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Samir, I'm new to this whole thing. I was adding my pages for boomtrek like below in the correct destinations they were removed because of spam. Is my site not useful? I have mapping of millions of points-of-interest all over the world and I was trying to promote its regional-specific areas applicable to each region.
Am I allowed to add these into Wikipedia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Boomtrek ( talk • contribs) .

I've been around for over 2 years, the latest site I revised took me 2 months and 7500 webpages later voila its alive. Did you check my site? Did you see the maps, I think the site can be highly useful to people that's what I am trying to get listed on Wiki to start some traffic coming by for a visit.
Here is an example of what it can do:

Thanks for putting up the direct link, but I really think this is more trouble than it's worth. It's fine if there was just the one instance, but when there's 23 distinct species and several other pages on each, the home page really works best.

Thank you for the letter you wrote me. I'm sorry, this is in poor English for I'm not an expert in your Language.
As you have seen, I'm a gastroenterologist in Hamburg Germany and I am working as an senior physician in the gastroenteroly department of the Albertinen hospital Hamburg (www.albertinen.de or for our heart-department: www.alberheart.com). We've posted an Atlas of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and one of Gastrointestinal Ultrasound on the Internet. I'm beginning now to put some of our pictures into the chapters of wikipedia.de. Unfortunatly our 2 altlases are only in German, but I think a picture is always better the a text. So if you want, you can have a look to the adresses: www.endoskopiebilder.de and www.sonographiebilder.de
I'm looking forward to hear from you about your plans building the Gastroenterology section on en.wikipedia.org.

Can you please let me know, how to make that article which I wrote appear in the Search?

Actually there were a few articles on this in a few newspapers in India, and lots of Indian sites, so thats why I was adding all that material.

What is the proper procedure for putting it on wikipedia so that it becomes searchable?
Please do let me know...
Also, is there some page where I can find some simplified information on how to make proper Wikipedia pages? The one on the official page, is not very clear...

Thanks, Viridae 10:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
I would appreciate it if you and/or your friends would stop attempting to change my RfA vote per this [2]. I do not know you and did not know your gender so I chose to avoid making assumptions and instead wrote it as s/he, i.e "she or he". I really don't know why you object to my expressing myself in this way as it is quite common to write various versions of "s/he" when a person is unknown, particularly on the internet where a person's gender is often unclear. The fact this comment has caused you to try to change my comment on more than one occasion makes me question your maturity and whether or not I made the right call when I chose to support your RfA. Please stop attempting to interfere with my vote. Sarah Ewart ( Talk) 10:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The article has been deleted and will be again. I just restored temporarily to illustrate that the uploader of the cat image wasn't a serious contributor, given that the image has been used for vandalism hundreds of times, I nominated the image for deletion, but I needed proof that the uploader isn't serious and thus probably the copyright license was fake. I will remove the article when the IFD finishes. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:IFD#June_19 -- Drini 20:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Samir. This article has been nominated for deletion, and I have been requested help from User:BigHaz who feels that the nominator may be trolling/pointmaking, given his previous block for trolling and his bizarre arguments on the AfD.

I submitted Flue gas stacks for WP:DYK. Hope you don't mind, thought the article was great. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 06:00, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Heh, I found the idea fairly amusing; jamming traffic so you could hit random strangers with a fluffy cushion. Sounds fun. :D Cheers, Master of Puppets Giant Enemy Crab! 06:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Since we both seem to be working through the CSD backlog, could we perhaps split the alphabet or something so we don't run into each other's deleted pages? IceKarma ॐ 06:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't, sorry. You did a pretty good job yourself -- but it seemed you slowed down towards the end? IceKarma ॐ 07:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I have just dropped you a line by Wikipedia email. Please check it out. Thanks -- Srikeit ( Talk | Email) 07:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Samir you were wrong in blocking me. Rajput Chief category is bogus. Do you know the history of rajasthan? Maharana Pratap was no chief. He was an Indian monarch. To call him a chief is working with a denigrating agenda and should not be tolerable to you as an Indian. Similarly ruling clans of India is far more descriptive and accurate for rajput gotra and shakha. It is one person's whim who frankly is a moron when it comes to rajputs and rajasthan that you are supporting. Y not 07:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough. Do this
(reply on talk page): Was I not clear enough? You are not to revert the changes to these articles under ANY username -- Samir धर्म 18:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the revert of vandalism to my talk page.-- Dakota ~ 17:08, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Clearly you have read what Mozhi had to say. He is still lying! Rajput side had a few users none of whom were any socks as this fellow is shouting.
If you would like to read about Impumozhi's lack of knowledge/lying about rajputs please read this: [3] Then see his bizzare behavior on rathore page where he kept deleting references and kep inserting unreferenced template! [4]
Regarding Dbachmann, he is a racist who almost got banned by arbcom for using racist comments against ALL Indians. [5] For this comment arbcom decided to take away Dab's admin privileges [6]. But in the end they could not see one of there own loose to brown Asians. Read more [7] and some more [8]
Also this arbcom case was the most strange case. Entire rajput side were new to Wikipedia and had no idea that they had to present any evidence. So arbcom decided against us purely on Dbachmann's one sided evidence! Can you beleive this?
I followed debate between Nichalp and Shivraj. Nichal is a braiwashed Indian who thinks everything that originates from the mouth of westerner is gospel and that Indians cannot write objective history [9]. Shivraj tried to reason with him that he had created the rajput article after consulting close to a 100 books and these are all written by eminent historians. These historians were Indian, European and American. Some of them are still teaching in Universities all over the world. But impumozhi called these books pamphlets [10] though he has not read a single book in this list. Is this really scholarship that you want to support Samir?
Not only this these fellows are aligning with Muslims who have called all Jihad mongering terrorists of the world Rajputs. Read here : [11] (This above was written by a muslim and mozhi and gang support this group of muslims).
You have also seen wrong categorization on rajput kings by Mozhi in calling them chiefs. Samir I am hopeful that you will not side with these people. If you have more questions do let me know. It saddens me that Indians play to the galleries just to be "accepted".
-Digvijay.
Samir, you should not be complaining, you are in high favour. Of course, the blocking of an account is entirely passe for our friend, but I have rarely seen him so civil -- its evidently because the sign-link to your talk-page reads "Dharm."
I don't know where to begin on the case, especially while avoiding descent into personalities. It is extremely complex, especially when I consider that I initially started out by supporting him in one of his major battles (he has had many: me, Dbachmann n Zora, Paul Barlow, even Nichalp, etc etc; just try finding anything other than loud conflict on his original talkpage). Maybe reading this page, one of my vain attempts to reason with him, will help you get a start both on his mindset and on my problems with him.
At the time when I wrote that message to him, he was prosecuting a quarrel on the talk:Rajput page. That issue reached Arbitration Committee, where I made this statement. This is my definitive crime, please read this and also the links provided by me in that statement. Following this act, I was subjected to surpassingly vile abuse, with section-heading font of "Impumozhi is a liar" being pasted across Wikipedia, with some other write-up. That was the beginning and it has been downhill since. One of my great faults is of course that although I am an Indian, I supported the "Whiteboys" who "talk out of their ass"; that I am a Hindu and insisted on NPOV-ing the more egregious of his edits. Note that your support is also being exhorted on the same grounds: "To call him a chief is working with a denigrating agenda and should not be tolerable to you as an Indian." and again, "If you would just protect "Dharam" as your signature seems to signify by asking this idiot Impumozhi...." I need say no more.
Anyway, the arbcom case (where one side consisted almost exclusively of him and his 3-4 socks) went entirely against him: read this page, other pages it links to, and all associated discussion pages, if you have the leisure and patience. He grandly "resigned" from Wikipedia, and has been infesting it with his sock-a-day accounts since then.
Never never am I gonna start arguing with him on any point, so I will not answer his concerns expressed on your talk-page, except to say that this is the first time he made them known! Also that this is both mealy-mouthed and specious. MM because he has been reverting every edit of mine daily, including entirely unrelated pages like National Physical Laboratory, India, Kannada Brahmins and Konkani Brahmins, among several others. Specious because -- I will not get into that. OK, I will. Read Rao Sonag, Rao Doohad and over a dozen others and tell me if this suits "Monarchs of India." Also note that they are in that category, because Category:Rajput chiefs is a sub-category of Category:Indian monarchs, deserved or not. Same holds for Banaphar, Kheechee etc in relation to Category:Rajput clans and Category:Ruling clans of India.
I will conclude by referring you to the advise I recently gave another well-intentioned user: Do not feed the troll. Your comments so far to him have been exemplary, but give over making them altogether. Simply ignore any further comments by him on your talk-page. In all events, please do not ask or expect me to engage any further with him. If possible, please help me contain his vandalism. Best regards, ImpuMozhi 04:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Samir Sorry for misunderstanding your stand on "Needs Convenience "Article . I was not thinking striaght due to the fact that my article on "Lawtons' was on the delete list . Please forgive me -- Vic 05:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hey Samir. I've shortened the I.M._Rich ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) block down to 48 hours, and explained to him that any further acting out will result in the restoration of his long involuntary wikibreak.
I'm not disputing your call that he deserved the block based on his recent behaviour – which can only be described as completely insane – but he seems genuinely remorseful, he has indicated that his actions were prompted by some recent personal problems, and he's expressed a desire go back to being a useful editor.
If, 48 hours from now, he runs amok again, I'm not going to trim whatever block you think is appropriate. (If I haven't blocked him myself.) TenOfAllTrades( talk) 06:09, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
If you personally do not want to help, please do not deprive my rights of asking help to other admins. Thanks. Fnhddzs 06:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear Admin, Thanks for your message. Here is what happend. We had an agreement on the vote we are proceeding. We agreed it is a consensus vote [12].
You could see clearly the question I posted was to ask whether it is a consensus vote. And the answer is yes.
However, user Yueyuen and Samuel Luo does not respect it. They insisted on posting the non-consensus voting results. Both CovenantD [13] and I have tried to remove the vandalism. However, the vandalism is still going on [14] [15] [16] however we tried to stop it. Please help or advise. Thanks, Fnhddzs 07:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I did not understand "if the first consensus opinion was truly consensus, it should be reflected in the straw poll as well", I don't think it is related to my question. People said the vote is a "consensus vote" [17] [18], that is, everyone has to agree with a new edition for it to update on the page. It is not a majority vote. We did not have a consensus opinion on the 1st paragraph of the article yet. However, a nonconsensus version was posted. Fnhddzs 07:19, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, we voted on the proposed new version of the 1st paragraph [19]. But not everyone voted agree. So we did not reach to consensus. I do not quite understand 'straw poll'. It sounds like a better idea to wait for each possible editor's opinion. But maybe I am wrong. Fnhddzs 07:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Samir (The Scope), I notice that you just protected the Falun Gong page. The paragraph in question has been discussed for over a week. The version I updated has the majority support when we voted a few hours ago. [20] Fnhddzs is the only one who rejects it even though I have accommodated to all of his complaints. [21] He seems to believe that he alone can prevent any editing on the Falun Gong article. What is the guideline for a situation like this? When something has the overwhelming majority support, is that enough validation for the changes to be made? Or changes can only be made when there is consensus? The protection is nice it gives us some time to discuss the issue further other than fighting a revert war. Thanks -- Samuel Luo 07:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I request that this be substituted for the 1st paragraph. It is the same wording that exists now, but returns the links to Wiktionary that have existed for months and properly formats the references. These are the only changes from the version that is in place. I've also placed this on the talk page, for any passing admins there. CovenantD 14:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
“ | Falun Gong, ( simplified Chinese: 法轮功; traditional Chinese: 法 輪 功; pinyin: Fǎlún Gōng; literally "Practice of the Wheel of Law") also known as Falun Dafa, ( simplified Chinese: 法轮大法; traditional Chinese: 法輪大法; pinyin: Fǎlún dàfǎ; lit. "Great Law of the Wheel of Law") is a system of mind and body cultivation introduced by Li Hongzhi (surname is Li) to the public in 1992. Falun Gong refers to five sets of meditation exercises (four standing, and one sitting meditation). [1] In Zhuan Falun, the Dafa is introduced this way: “Our Falun Dafa is one of the eighty-four thousand cultivation ways in the Buddha School. During the historical period of this human civilization, it has never been made public. In a prehistoric period, however, it was once widely used to provide salvation to humankind. In this final period of Last Havoc, I am making it public again. Therefore, it is extremely precious." [2] In recent years, added emphasis has been placed on the concept of Fa-Rectification. [3] | ” |
I've clarified what it is that I'm asking on the Admin's noticeboard. [22] Since you protected the page, I'm hoping that you'll heed the request that has the backing of Fire Star. CovenantD 06:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the favour of semi-protecting the page. Let's hope that supporters of Koh Gyudhae would cool down eventually and come to their senses and know more about wikipedia's rules, before we unprotect the page or take other essential actions. You may take a look at Talk:Bae Yong Joon, on how the matter progressed if you are interested. Cheers! Mr Tan 12:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I noticed vandalized more on Moundsville, West Virginia and I'm not sure exactly what should be done since he or she is an AOL user and he been blocked and warned before (the most recient by you). Maybe since your an admin you'd know what's best... Thanks Dark jedi requiem 16:32, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the nice message. Not to worry, I think your actions were appropriate. Indeed, one of my projects for tonight was to send you a note saying that. Since the subject is so contentious and I have done a lot of editing on the article in the past, I feel it would be a conflict of interest for me to exercise any admin functions there beyond blocking the occasional incorrigibly abusive personal attack vandal.

Hi Samir, thanks for doing the last DYK update, nice selection of articles and hopefully you will continue updating as a "new pair of hands". Just a few minor things to remember: don't forget to archive the previous items from the template to the top of Template_talk:Did_you_know#Archive, including a link to the featured image in parentheses; images hosted on commons should be uploaded locally to WP if they're not protected on Commons, and tagged with the {{ C-uploaded}} template; don't forget to actually protect the image and unprotect the previous one that's just been replaced (or speedy delete it if it was C-uploaded). I've fixed these bits and pieces, so no need for you to do anything, just wanted to let you know for your next update !!! Cheers. -- Cactus.man ✍ 12:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear Samir, thanks a ton for the medal. Though it may appear self-referential, it would be irreverential ;) to not accept it from a good friend like you. However, to set the record straight, I've been updating DYK very rarely since mid-April. I updated DYK along with Peta, who taught me the ropes of updation. AFAICT, I updated DYK for four months, of which two months was almost an individual effort. However, of late, I don't find too much time in one tranche to do the updating. Also, the atmosphere has become vitiated slightly with one of the admins insisting that he doesn't see a conflict of interest in updating suggestions from his own articles. At least a couple of admins including me strongly object to this (especially given the number of his articles' DYKs) and several others support our stand with the lone dissension coming from that admin. The relevant discussion is here. So, I don't see myself updating DYK anytime sooner. However, i'd probly start creating articles once I get the time. Thanks a ton again, Samir. -- Gurubrahma 12:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Samir. You might want to comment at that page above. I think it will lead to a community morale drop if a person chooses their own DYK. By the way, if you're looking for stuff to delete, follow the image pics from the link at CAT:CSD - For today's deletion innings, I've registered a quadruple century - 430 not out- and that's still less than 20% of the backlog I think. Blnguyen | rant-line 06:22, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I'd look at CSD A7, that says (emphasis added):
An article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to AFD instead.
I would then check to see if ABCD is notable. If I see that is true (ABCD has published extensively in his field), I'd leave the page alone and remove the SD tag. If I check the guy wasn't really notable, I would take the page to AfD instead of simply speedy deleting it, as per the CSD A7 statement, and the fact that other people may find publications by ABCD that I might have overlooked, as that often happens in AfD discussions and I'm not too good in google searches, to speak the truth. fetofs Hello! 14:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
