Dear si nick, you deleted the Australian Catholics magazine entry with what authority? The entry is regardnig a magazine that has a CAB-audited national circulation of 200,000 in australia. It is a not insignificant magazine. Furthermore, the entry was written by the editor himself, so the entries are VERIFIABLE. I will thank you for not deleting it again.

This arbitration case has closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The parties to the case are strongly encouraged to enter into mediation arrangements regarding any disputes over article content that may still be outstanding. All parties are reminded in the strongest possible terms that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a forum for conspiracy, personal attacks, nor the continuation of ethnic disputes by other means. "Parties who continue such behaviour, and parties who consider it their moral duty to call out such behaviour, will be hit on the head with sticks until the situation improves."
Rama's Arrow ( talk · contribs) is desysopped, but is welcome to apply for reinstatement at RfA at any time. As always, administrators should not use their administrative powers in conflicts or disagreements they are involved in. Administrators who are parties to this case are reminded that they should find an uninvolved admin to determine if blocks or other actions against any other parties to the case are appropriate, and should under no circumstances take such actions themselves. Any party that violates the ban on admin actions imposed in this case will be summarily desysopped once the violation is brought to the attention of the Arbitration Committee.

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.
Thank you!

Dear Sir Nicholas, It was with regret that I noticed that the speedy deletion of the page Seoul International Darts League and those of its member teams had taken place. I'm not here to demand their reinsertion, as I believe that was an argument I lost and was never going to win, but, if you would be so kind, could you please give me the coding for the main league page, please? It took me ages to create and, since it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, I thought I'd put it in a more appropriate wiki. If you would be so kind as to send that to me, it would be much appreciated. Lord Barrass of Seoul. JPBarrass 16:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
Image:SunidhiChauhan.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nick,
I wanted to ask you this on your talk page since the
Bangalore talk page is getting really cluttered. I know you've voted "Oppose" to the move and I respect that, but what would you make of
this policy and more specifically
this paragraph, where it says that "English usage is determined by the consensus of its users, not by any government." Further down, in the examples section,
“ | Bombay or Mumbai? Bombay officially changed its name to Mumbai in 1995; but this is not the basis for our choice of name. That depends on two claims: that usage in English by locals (and wider English usage as well, to some extent) has changed to commonly use Mumbai, although many local institutions do not, and that Indian English, as an official language, should be followed, in accordance with our policy on National varieties of English. Both were necessary. | ” |
None of this is true (yet) in case of Bangalore. Still, someone moved the page (an important FA) without seeking consensus or discussion. In fact there's been a group of people trying to move it since last year, when nothing about the renaming had even been decided. Anyway, I'm just trying to get your perspective as to your reasons for opposing the move back to Bangalore, since you are an admin and will know WP policies better than most of us. Thanks, Max - You were saying? 19:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I notice that you deleted the redirect WP:DRAMA which had redirected to WP:AN/I. Were you aware that it had been nominated for deletion in February Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2007_February_19#WP:DRAMA_.E2.86.92_Wikipedia:Administrators.27_noticeboard and the concensus had been not only to keep, but to redirect it to WP:AN/I as opposed to WP:AN as it had previously done? I'm just wondering whether it should go up for review, given that the community had previously decided to keep it, to see what people think. Skittle 16:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Nick - please quote where exactly on WP:SPEEDY it says G7 "does not apply to encyclopedic articles with extensive references." Bishonen is correct here. The page needs to be deleted. G7 is official policy and must be respected here. Even if G7 had that in the policy (it does not), WP:COMMON and courtesy to fellow editors is also important. But policy is clear. If I'm misreading the policy, please come on the article talk page or on ANI and quote exactly where it says that about "encyclopedic articles". -- Aude ( talk) 12:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Lara bran ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has already edited my user page, removed the trollwarning from the 'Shemale' talk page and has been serially removing and altering sockpuppet notices since you unblocked this user (see contribs). You unblocked, so I'm hoping you'll keep an eye on this user's already-questionable conduct. I'm surprised at the degree of forgiveness afforded a user who is an admitted block-avoiding sockmaster, but I am not an admin and I'll roll with the punches.

Thanks for uploading Image:Narendramodi.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 16:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Now I must dispute your final sentence. It is utter nonsense. Having edit-warred with me on Punjab (India), which ended up getting locked, user:Indian50 sought out Gujarati grammar, a page which I then and now solely edit, and exacted revenge edits, adding fact templates in a nonsensical way, and placing unreferenced and original research tags even though there were 20 direct references and a bibliography list.

On a final note, please don't ever use the words "fuck", "fucked up", "crap" and "idiocy" when you are debating with other editors. It only weakens your position and it is strictly against the rules on here. As to my own earlier comments, on reading them a second time, I feel that I may have been uncivil towards you by writing "In fact if you are ...". So you have my apologies on that. It does not however change my position that the file is perfectly valid for use on this article. By the way I do not hate you, I just find your reasoning to be illogical.

Wikipedia guidelines ask you to use the edit summary; the template that I used is a standard one, not created by me. The same applies to policies and guidelines such as WP:CITE and WP:CIVIL. Your behaviour here is poor, you response to advice and criticism particularly so. If you can't or won't understand what it is to edit here, with other people rather than pitted against them, you'll find it an unpleasant and frustrating experience. If you're prepared to learn, and to edit reasonably and responsibly, in line with our policies and guidelines, then you'll find it rewarding and enjoyable.

Dear Sir Nicholas, It was with regret that I noticed that the speedy deletion of the page Seoul International Darts League and those of its member teams had taken place. I'm not here to demand their reinsertion, as I believe that was an argument I lost and was never going to win, but, if you would be so kind, could you please give me the coding for the main league page, please? It took me ages to create and, since it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, I thought I'd put it in a more appropriate wiki. If you would be so kind as to send that to me, it would be much appreciated. Lord Barrass of Seoul. JPBarrass 16:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear Nearly Headless Nick, Many thanks for your swift action following my AIV report on user TG4, who has been soullessly destroying and messing around with work that myself and collaborators are doing on the Skunk Fu article and its associates. I suspect this little CENSORED had been playing havoc with us under an IP prior to registering. Your action in nailing this little weasel was very much appreciated and my collaborators will be pleased to know about your work. I would award you the RickK barnstar, but I don't know how.

Thanks for uploading
Image:SunidhiChauhan.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nick,
I wanted to ask you this on your talk page since the
Bangalore talk page is getting really cluttered. I know you've voted "Oppose" to the move and I respect that, but what would you make of
this policy and more specifically
this paragraph, where it says that "English usage is determined by the consensus of its users, not by any government." Further down, in the examples section,
“ | Bombay or Mumbai? Bombay officially changed its name to Mumbai in 1995; but this is not the basis for our choice of name. That depends on two claims: that usage in English by locals (and wider English usage as well, to some extent) has changed to commonly use Mumbai, although many local institutions do not, and that Indian English, as an official language, should be followed, in accordance with our policy on National varieties of English. Both were necessary. | ” |
None of this is true (yet) in case of Bangalore. Still, someone moved the page (an important FA) without seeking consensus or discussion. In fact there's been a group of people trying to move it since last year, when nothing about the renaming had even been decided. Anyway, I'm just trying to get your perspective as to your reasons for opposing the move back to Bangalore, since you are an admin and will know WP policies better than most of us. Thanks, Max - You were saying? 19:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I notice that you deleted the redirect WP:DRAMA which had redirected to WP:AN/I. Were you aware that it had been nominated for deletion in February Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2007_February_19#WP:DRAMA_.E2.86.92_Wikipedia:Administrators.27_noticeboard and the concensus had been not only to keep, but to redirect it to WP:AN/I as opposed to WP:AN as it had previously done? I'm just wondering whether it should go up for review, given that the community had previously decided to keep it, to see what people think. Skittle 16:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not sure if you've seen this category. I've noticed quite a few open proxies putting themselves into it (which I've removed), and there's currently a few dynamic IPs left in it. You probably know the background (and perhaps the category creator) better than me, so I leave its future to you. -- zzuuzz (talk) 18:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Nick - please quote where exactly on WP:SPEEDY it says G7 "does not apply to encyclopedic articles with extensive references." Bishonen is correct here. The page needs to be deleted. G7 is official policy and must be respected here. Even if G7 had that in the policy (it does not), WP:COMMON and courtesy to fellow editors is also important. But policy is clear. If I'm misreading the policy, please come on the article talk page or on ANI and quote exactly where it says that about "encyclopedic articles". -- Aude ( talk) 12:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your block on user:vinay412. User:kuntan is not at all related to user:vinay412. They belong to different languages namely malayalam and kannada respectively. You being indian admin, can recognise this fact by contributions i suppose. Kindly review your block on user:vinay412, who has hardly been disruptive, you may even use checkuser kuntan for confirmation. Regards. Miyamw 14:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I suspect that This is all ( talk · contribs) might be a use-once-and-discard AttackSock account. Created after Lara bran's 1st unblock request was denied and half an hour before the 2nd unblock request. What a surprise. Not. :(
By the way, is there somewhere else that I should be raising these issues, or is it okay to bring them here? -- AliceJMarkham 14:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Lara bran ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has already edited my user page, removed the trollwarning from the 'Shemale' talk page and has been serially removing and altering sockpuppet notices since you unblocked this user (see contribs). You unblocked, so I'm hoping you'll keep an eye on this user's already-questionable conduct. I'm surprised at the degree of forgiveness afforded a user who is an admitted block-avoiding sockmaster, but I am not an admin and I'll roll with the punches. Some others may find it more disheartening [3]. Thanks in any case, Nick. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 12:01, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Narendramodi.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 16:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I think you are wrong. But I've opened the thread at WP:AN. This has been done by a number of people in the past, no issues raised at all. The privacy policy at meta allows it, as does WP:CHU.

Hi. You wrote this ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Hkelkar_2/Evidence#Block_of_Indian50):
Now I must dispute your final sentence. It is utter nonsense. Having edit-warred with me on Punjab (India), which ended up getting locked, user:Indian50 sought out Gujarati grammar, a page which I then and now solely edit, and exacted revenge edits, adding fact templates in a nonsensical way, and placing unreferenced and original research tags even though there were 20 direct references and a bibliography list.
And now, Indian50 says he back, to destroy me once and forever. Tuncrypt ( talk) 16:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
In absolutely no way. This user ( Tuncrypt) has been shown to been highly uncivil and arrogant. Look at this:
On a final note, please don't ever use the words "fuck", "fucked up", "crap" and "idiocy" when you are debating with other editors. It only weakens your position and it is strictly against the rules on here. As to my own earlier comments, on reading them a second time, I feel that I may have been uncivil towards you by writing "In fact if you are ...". So you have my apologies on that. It does not however change my position that the file is perfectly valid for use on this article. By the way I do not hate you, I just find your reasoning to be illogical.

Look at this, further examples, of this user ( Tuncrypt):
Wikipedia guidelines ask you to use the edit summary; the template that I used is a standard one, not created by me. The same applies to policies and guidelines such as WP:CITE and WP:CIVIL. Your behaviour here is poor, you response to advice and criticism particularly so. If you can't or won't understand what it is to edit here, with other people rather than pitted against them, you'll find it an unpleasant and frustrating experience. If you're prepared to learn, and to edit reasonably and responsibly, in line with our policies and guidelines, then you'll find it rewarding and enjoyable. It's entirely up to you, of course. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 22:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC) [6]
