Hi BL, hope you are well. If you consider the term "freedom fighter" as pov, then in the same manner, the word "militant" (an euphemism for a "terrorist" per the wikipedia article) is also POV here. So, I've tweaked the lead sentences in these biographies to simply say "Bengali revolutionary". I think this is neutral enough for everyone. :) Cheers!! -- Ragib ( talk) 03:22, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Legolas2186 ( talk · contribs) and I are re-writting the Ganguly article. Can you give me some examples on how you would reference the playing style section? Thanks Aaroncrick ( talk) 09:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi YellowMonkey! Would you have a moment to have a look at the FAC for The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie? Tony has called for a "group effort" to improve the prose. I've been helping ATC, but seem to have lost perspective on this article and a fresh set of eyes would be welcome. Thanks in advance. Truthkeeper88 ( talk) 03:38, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your question :)! Just a break, I think, since there are so many things to do, I ... don't know what to do: Upgrade some articles like Trần Dynasty, Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư to A Class/Good article or write more short articles. But I'll continue for sure. Thanks again and happy new year! Grenouille vert ( talk) 09:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
I've always been on and off again working on it. I'm doing my dissertation on it, and have been interested in and reading about the topic for about 5 years. I just had a recent Wiki-spasm and started off all those articles. Why? SGGH ping! 13:02, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
You made an edit there removing Timothy Ly. Have you a reason for believing that Tim is not notable? I'm posting the removal on the talk page and I'll research the notability rules, but I assert this is a mistake. DDB ( talk) 18:30, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Could you please explain why the page on Dr. Nagaruban Arumugam was deleted? There are pages on self-serving celebrities, actors who acted in one movie and cricketers who played in a few 20-20 matched etc. Why can't there be a page on a doctor, whose service deserved a mention in the Australian Parliament and in the editorial of the Daily Telegraph etc, have his life documented (with clear references) on Wiki. There was a discussion when it was marked for speedy deletion with the majority approving it to be kept. I would really appreciate if you could explain or restore the page. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 6billionth sapien ( talk • contribs) 07:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your guidance. My intention was not to 'trick' you. I have created a DRV. Hope to see the page back. I an interested to see what the others think. I sincerely believe a page for this doctor is within the requirements of Wiki and has enough references to support it (relative to many other biographies). 6billionth sapien ( talk) 10:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Dr Nagaruban Arumugam. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 6billionth sapien ( talk) 10:34, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
This user is requesting unblock, which I have just declined, but I notice in your block reasoning you mentioned they were a banned user. I can't make out which banned user we are dealing with here, and what other accounts they've used and what name they were banned under. If they are banned then even dealing with an unblock request would probably require some discussion at ANI or whatever, so I guess I'm just looking for a clue on which way to swing here in the likely event that they file another unblock request.

Hey, I know it took a couple days, but I thought I should let you know I've added a preview of the series from the media as per your request at the FAC! Staxringold talk contribs 03:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I've tried to leave out of unnecessary detail but the Australian debut sub-section has grown substantially. At least information will not be left out like with Gilchrist ... Aaroncrick ( talk) 21:53, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Did you see how Tendulkar hit it straight in the air and the ball ended up bouncing near the non-strikers stumps! Three fielders stood and the bowler stood and looked at each other! Horrible batting from India ... Sehwag fired 'em up? Aaroncrick ( talk) 05:12, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
<--Looks like Bangladesh is set for a first innings lead now, last two should be able to add 20-25 I think. To think that of all the possible permutations and combinations, Bangladesh is going to cost India the no 1 spot! - Spaceman Spiff 08:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi YellowMonkey, some time ago you were active in deleting university clubs. I was wondering if you could look at this page Melbourne University Sri Lankan Students' Association and work your magic. It seems to be less notable than the 120 year old uni sporting clubs with Rhodes Scholars and international sporting reps you deleted in the past. Ozdaren ( talk) 11:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Can you reply at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2008–09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team/archive1 about your expectations regarding level of detail and clarify what section you are talking about.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 03:48, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I saw the nomination but I can't find any work of Le Thanh Khoi in the library, sorry! The article looks good, though, I will follow the nomination and help anything that I can. Regards. Grenouille vert ( talk) 13:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
The playing career of Roger Federer has been split into Roger Federer career biography, while the rest in still in Roger Federer. Interesting .... Wonder if that could happen to some cricket articles? (Tendulkar for example if it gets too big.) Still not sure on the idea though... It's growing on me but... maybe getting a bit ridiculous.

About cricket, Meckiff should be good to go with a copyedit, I've ce'd Loxton, so chuck those two in there, hopefully people will be less bored with something other than the "in '48" articles, but The Second Test is still sitting there customerless. I guess you might be interested in Monkeygate as it ties in with the current Ponting-ness; I've cleaned it up to remove all the repetition and circular ordering, it needed that, GA or otherwise YellowMonkey ( bananabucket) 08:26, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Y.M. - I just picked up your recent series of edits to Second_Test,_2007–08_Border-Gavaskar_Trophy which seem detailed and comprehensive. It may take me a few days or more to go through these as I am on holidays and internet access is sporadic (coincidentally I am actually visiting Australia for the first time in several years), but I will mark up edits when I have some time.
