And I say: Sorry it took so long to reply, but I have now posted a couple of comments to this discussion. I don't feel that I have a lot to add that I haven't already commented on, but I am still interested in seeing where the discussion goes. I've also commented at Template talk:Infobox actor#Golden Globe Awards and would value your opinion. I've suggested that Filmfare Awards should be added - but this is not my area of expertise, and I would defer to your opinion. If you have a moment could you pop over and share your views.

Hi. I was wondering if you would be interested in sending an email to the Wikimedia Commons mailing list detailing what the process was like in getting that image licensed. If PETA is actually open to freely licensing their material, I'm pretty sure we'd like to hear more about how this might work. If you don't want to subscribe to a list, but are still willing, you could send mail to me to forward. Jkelly 03:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry for the late reply :-). I read the article you provided, very funny I must say. Yes DMU is ok, but getting very hard. How's the re-vamp for Shilpa Shetty's article going? BTW, thanks for letting me know that I've got your support regarding the personal attacks by User:Shez 15. Right now he's walking a thin line. I think he feels that I watch over every article, you'll see what I mean when you go on the edit history for the film Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega. Hope your doing well. Thanks again for your support. -- Pa7 16:15, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I'm trying to get members of the Psychology Project to get together and rate the both the quality and importance of the Tree of Knowledge System. Hope you're interested. Have a great day! EPM 19:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. I noticed that in the past, you have participated in a discussion about Filmographies and lists of works in general here. There is now a RfC discussing this and more aspects here. It would be nice if you took a look and gave your comments on those matters. Thank you. theroachman T C 02:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Quite honestly, it doesn't seem like a particularly useful thing to do, given the circumstances; but it's no big deal either way, really. Kirill Lokshin 02:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
http://www.shirdi-sai-baba.com is one of the best website on Sai Baba. Also http://forum.spiritualindia.org is another best resource on Sai Baba. so why these links has been removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.167.131.98 ( talk) 09:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
Hiya Ekantik, Thanks very much for the Barnstar. Appreciated! Shakirfan 22:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi ekantik I have a question who were the hosts of the 52nd filmfare award 2007?
The article Clinical psychology has just been listed for peer review. You are invited to lend your editing eyes to see if it needs any modifications, great or small, before it is submitted to the Featured Article review. Then head on over to the peer review page and add your comments, if you are so inspired. Thank you!! Psykhosis 20:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Because of India's rich diversity, no one image can represent all of India's one billion people. That is why I propose selecting a new demographics image every three months. This would allow for a regional balance and would show India as a whole. Many people have agreed that this is the only way to represent India's rich and varied diversity. Since you have voted for a change in the demographics section, I wanted to update you on this proposal. I would love to hear your comments on talk:India. Thanks so much. Have a great day!

The above-named arbitration case has closed and the complete decision can be found at the link above. Andries, Wikisunn, SSS108, and Freelanceresearch are banned indefinitely from editing Sathya Sai Baba and related articles or their talk pages. Ekantik is instructed to make all future Wikipedia contributions related in any way to Sathya Sai Baba under a single username. Kkrystian is reminded that all edits must be supported by reliable sources. Editors involved at Sathya Sai Baba are encouraged to use better sources and improved citation style. The remedies in the prior decision Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba regarding poorly sourced information remain in force and apply to all editors working on Sathya Sai Baba and related articles. The Arbitration Committee reserves the right to amend these remedies as required and to issue additional remedies as necessary to provide a positive environment for collaboration on the Sathya Sai Baba article, even if no additional case is brought forward. This notice is given by a Clerk on behalf of the Arbitration Committee. Newyorkbrad 00:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I have created a template for Indian cinema as is standard with all other countries. If you have any ideas for improvement let me know -the template should go at the bottom of all India cinema pages to try to connect a vast project together. I've tried to keep it as smal as possible .Let me know if you like it
♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
P.S remember I was the one who initally bulked up Shilpa Shetty's carrer section and started many of her earlier films! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad you approve. This good looking template was made as a part of Category:Film country templates attempting to connect each and every film related article by the repsective cinema. The template will eeventually go at the footer of all film articles and cinema people actors, direcotrs etc. In the case of India it is such a massive industry I thought it easier to understand by one box for Indian cinema with the sub categories by language industry etc. It will really help to connect every Indian cinema article as with every other country. THanks, I jhope other key memebers of your project agree ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I have also altered the indexing of the Lists of Indian films so that when he click on e.g Category:Tamil-language films the list of films will be at the top rather than in the middle of the films ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
THANKYOU!! Much appreicated. keep up the good work on Shilpa Shetty and Indian cinema -I started a number of her earlier films whilst she was on BB e.g Aakrosh 1994-1997 films mostly etc -feel free to expand them or whatever. I have also generated a list of missing Indian films from wikipedia which you and the Indian cinema project may find useful. I'll retrieve it for you now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Here is the entire list of missing Indian films from Wikipedia
It may be a usefultool to tell everyone at WP:Indian cinema which films are missing from the project -I haven't got around to sorting them yet!! but fell free to sort the lists ideally it needs severla members to remove all the films already on wikipedia and then red link all of the missing articles -to ensure complete coverage . Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
All of the lists neeed bulleting and wikifying like the beginning of Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Indian Films:A-D. If you could ensure that most of Indian cinema are aware of this data list I hope it will be a useful tool for the project ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
As with other countries I would hope that the template will be suitable for adding on all articles including screenwriters of India, Indian direcotrs, all films etc unless it is e.g a one line stub and the template is too dominating . It is a massive task global film this is why | feel it important to set up an important framework for each country. I should join Indian cinema sometime -I always find it fascinating but I haven't got around to India yet. I currently working on the Category:Argentine films. All the best and thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Ekantik I am sorry but I did know how to proceed with your instructions - I tried to do my best. I will explain our insertion in Wikipedia and I hope that you will be able to remove the block. I have applied to be whitelisted. Link for whitelist consideration: srisathyasaibookcentre.org.uk
Page to use the link on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sathya_Sai_Baba
Why the link would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper:
The website in question serves two functions:
a. It represents the Sri Sathaya Sai Book Centre (SSSBC), based in London - the only Sri Sathya Sai Book Shop or Centre in Europe with its own premises. The Book Centre also ships Sathya Sai books to parties all over the world; with books in various ethnic languages, the Book Centre is the only such provider in the West that stocks Sathya Sai books in Hindi, Gujarati and Chinese.
b. It provides a wealth of information and resources about Sri Sathya Sai Baba, his life and his message. This information complements the Wikipedia resource as it provides devotees with direction and help, especially with regard to visiting the Ashram. See for example: srisathyasaibookcentre.org.uk/ashram-going-to-the-ashram1.php
The reasons given for blacklisting this website are that:
1. It is not an official Sri Sathya Sai website 2. It is not an International Sri Sathya Sai website 3. It a commercial entity
In dealing with each, we hope to show that that the SSSBC website is a valuable resource to Wikipedia users and should be reinstated in the stated Wikipedia page
1. The SSSBC is entirely owned by the Sri Sathya Sai UK Trust (SSUT), which is the official charity of the Sri Sathya Sai UK Organisation, and recognised by the Charity Commission. The website in question represents the SSSBC and therefore represents an official Sri Sathya Sai body under the auspices of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation in India.
2. Whilst the SSSBC is located in London, it provides resources to interested parties all over the world. However, in order to accommodate the stated objection, a 'Regional' section of the stated Wikipedia page was set up. However, it seems this change did not satisfy the stated objections.
3. The SSSBC is owned by the SSUT, so it is in no way a commercial entity - it is part of a charitable trust. The main function of the SSSBC is to make Sai Baba's message freely available to the general public. The fact that the SSSBC sells books should be seen to conflict with this function, but in fact supports it. Any revenue from the sale of books goes directly to the SSUT. The SSSBC is also subsidised by the SSUT to cover the operating losses. 89.243.90.190 18:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I, Smee, award this Graphic Designer's Barnstar to Ekantik, for your nice template work. Good job. Yours, Smee 03:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC). |
Unbelievably a nasty user has put all of the cinema templates up for deletion. I beelive they serve a great purpose for establishing a better understanding and connection between articles. But in totla haste he has gone ahead and proposed the lot. If my hard work is deleted I swear I am leaving wikipedia for good. I am willing to limit the use of the American template but not the others.
Please leave your view at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 13 THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou for your support. It amazes me how not everyone can see their use!! I am currentl sidetracked from films at present I have just succesfully set up Wikipedia:WikiProject Tibet and am building the foundations. -It has been merged from Tibetan Buddhism project this is why the history is old! I created an Indonesian film article earlier so I am all over today!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Ekantik. Nice of you to write and inquire. It was a real pleasure helping all of you at the Indian Cinema Dept. to sharpen up articles. It was a joy cooperating and interacting with some of you. But one can only juggle apples for so long (with the exception of the professional circus performer); there are plenty other things awaiting my dabbling. So all the best to you and the rest of the Indian cinema crew -- keep up your passion! AppleJuggler 01:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Good work Apple Juggler I have come across you in page histories. Hey I've expanded Assamese cinema from a stub and got the first Assame film onto wikipedia Joymati. May need copy editing What do you think? I know the Assma film industry is not exactly rging but I feel a few films and details added as it is linked in the world cinema and Indian template! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 22:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey see my proposals at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Actor and Filmmakers and the main WP Film and Biography talk page. Know anybody who is interested? Actors and all film people articles need a body on wikipedia to upkeep them asthey need more focus -it would be a part of Biogrpahy and Film. If you are interested or know somebody who would be, please let them know and whether you think it is a good progession for the project or not. Please leave your views at the council or biogrpahy main talk page. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ekantik! You've put a LOT of effort on Shilpa Shetty. IMO you should now get it ready for Featured Article candidacy. You may consider to run it in WP:PR first. It's got good references, comprehensive. Suggestions in PR and FAC would definitely make the article an FA. Please try. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 18:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, I'd like to ask why you think this edit of yours determines that the image does not fulfil FU criteria? I have presented a detailed FU rationale at Image:Jaya_Bachchan.jpg as well as employed the appropriate FU template. Category:Official_photographs_of_Indian_politicians is a list of Indian-politician articles that employ images using this template, so I am at a loss to understand why you think the image does not fulfill FU criteria. Bear in mind that the image itself is from the official Indian Govt. website. Please reply on my talk-page. Regards, Ekantik talk 02:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Fair use is not a blanket license to copy images. That is for images of which no free replacements can ever be found. Indian politician images are copyrighted. If someone is dead, you might claim that no replacements can be found, but in case of Jaya Bachchan, that argument doesn't hold.
Ganeshk has already replied in Indian-related notice board, I'm quoting him below to show why the use is not a valid fair use:
There has been a huge debate about Fair use images of living persons, and the overwhelming consensus is NOT to use when a photo may be taken of the person. Consider Big B's article ... it now has a free image. -- Ragib 03:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I have started a page model for the new project User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Film biography page model. Please note that it is still in its infancy stage and the templates have not been fully completed. THis is how I'd like the page to look but with an adaption of the task side plate further to incorprate film and biography goals on wikipedia. What do you think as a start? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 16:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there
How are you? Long time no Wiki :)
Just dropped by to request you to have a look at the SRK article's talk page, put up a few suggestions there which you might want to have a look at. Theres also a lot of stuff being added about his SFX company and what not, and I'd like to hear some editors' comments about that.
Apologies if this seems a little random, you're the only editor I've really worked with on the Bollywood pages (buzz Hrithik Roshan) and I was looking forward to your inputs.

Plumcouch just edited Rani Mukerji's page. You don't need to. Plus, images speak for thousand words. They are good references because sometimes what is written is gossip. Lastly, awards are a major part of one's career and decide how accomplished an actor really is. And if you do want to delete all of Rani's awards, I suggest you look at other Hollywood actor's pages first. Also consider Preity's page first which even has nomination. Alright.

Hello Ekantik, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image ( Image:Zeecineaward.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Ekantik/Zee Cine Awards. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot) -talk 08:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jaya_Bachchan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 22:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
HI hope you are well. I have begun ordering the Lists of Indian films - please can some people begin trying to help me complete them with the director/ cast details -I regard them as very important for Indian cinema . The tamil and telugu lists need complete formatting into tables ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 14:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:MKoirala.jpg. I notice 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 16:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to ask if you could step into a little situation I have here. It's been some months since I was last on Wikipedia and some things have changed around, so I don't know where and how to report this. I have a problem with a disruptive and uncivil editor who is harassing me with links to defamatory sites. After I removed a partisan and original research external link from the links section of
Sathya Sai Baba,
Kkrystian promptly began a mini-edit war which continued even after I explained to him on his
talk page why said link was inadmissible. He continued to re-add this link but has stopped now as another editor has stepped in to seek consensus. If you ask me, there is no consensus to be sought since this issue was discussed at ArbCom and all editors agreed to leave it out do to its violation of
WP:OR,
WP:EL, and possibly more.
However, on a related article (
Sai Baba of Shirdi, Kkrystian has been removing reliably sourced information because he does not agree with it, stating that the words "violent" and "uncouth" is the author's POV and thus inadmissible. You can familiarise yourself with that discussion
here and
here. As Kkrystian has declared on his userpage that he is a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba (and by extension, Shirdi Sai Baba) in his real life, there may be conflict-of-interest issues here. Either way, it seems that editors generally agree that reliably-sourced references should not be removed. Kkrystian had been engaging in an edit war over that issue and was blocked for 24-hours over 3RR by yourself
here. He refused to discuss the issue on his talk-page or on the article talk-page until after his block, preferring to explain his actions in edit summaries. But it appears that he hasn't learnt much from his 3RR block because he has begun indulging in
personal attacks on me over at
Talk:Sathya Sai Baba by way of posting URLS that happen to be defamatory against me and which include my surname in the URL title, as well as insinuating that I have ulterior motives for removing a link that is violating
WP:EL and contributes nothing to the article.
After I informed Kkrystian on his talk page that he shouldn't be indulging in personal attacks
here and that he shouldn't be revealing other people's personal information (even indirectly)
here, he simply told me to
"get lost". I even tried to refactor the discussion as per
WP:RPA#External_links and
WP:LINKLOVE
here, but I noticed just now that he has restored this link
here that is defamatory against me and which includes my surname in the URL title. He is clearly uncivil, personally attacking me in a hostile way, revealing my personal information, and
harassing me without any provocation. Do you think that this issue could be treated with a block that I think, by all accounts, is well-deserved?
I left Wikipedia for several months because of all these harassment issues and, after feeling ready to return in the last few days or so, did not think I would have to face these types of unprovoked attacks so soon. Please help out, thanks. - Ekantik talk 19:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I see you are working hard on Sai Baba of Shirdi, and tried a DYK nomination for the article. But you know the rules of DYK, new or fivefold.

It would be nice if you took a look and gave your comments on those matters. Thank you. theroachman T C 02:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Quite honestly, it doesn't seem like a particularly useful thing to do, given the circumstances; but it's no big deal either way, really. Kirill Lokshin 02:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
http://www.shirdi-sai-baba.com is one of the best website on Sai Baba. Also http://forum.spiritualindia.org is another best resource on Sai Baba. so why these links has been removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.167.131.98 ( talk) 09:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

Hi ekantik I have a question who were the hosts of the 52nd filmfare award 2007?
The article Clinical psychology has just been listed for peer review. You are invited to lend your editing eyes to see if it needs any modifications, great or small, before it is submitted to the Featured Article review. Then head on over to the peer review page and add your comments, if you are so inspired. Thank you!! Psykhosis 20:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Because of India's rich diversity, no one image can represent all of India's one billion people. That is why I propose selecting a new demographics image every three months. This would allow for a regional balance and would show India as a whole. Many people have agreed that this is the only way to represent India's rich and varied diversity. Since you have voted for a change in the demographics section, I wanted to update you on this proposal. I would love to hear your comments on talk:India. Thanks so much. Have a great day!

The above-named arbitration case has closed and the complete decision can be found at the link above. Andries, Wikisunn, SSS108, and Freelanceresearch are banned indefinitely from editing Sathya Sai Baba and related articles or their talk pages. Ekantik is instructed to make all future Wikipedia contributions related in any way to Sathya Sai Baba under a single username. Kkrystian is reminded that all edits must be supported by reliable sources. Editors involved at Sathya Sai Baba are encouraged to use better sources and improved citation style. The remedies in the prior decision Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba regarding poorly sourced information remain in force and apply to all editors working on Sathya Sai Baba and related articles.

I have created a template for Indian cinema as is standard with all other countries. If you have any ideas for improvement let me know -the template should go at the bottom of all India cinema pages to try to connect a vast project together. I've tried to keep it as smal as possible .Let me know if you like it

P.S remember I was the one who initally bulked up Shilpa Shetty's carrer section and started many of her earlier films! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad you approve. This good looking template was made as a part of Category:Film country templates attempting to connect each and every film related article by the repsective cinema. The template will eeventually go at the footer of all film articles and cinema people actors, direcotrs etc. In the case of India it is such a massive industry I thought it easier to understand by one box for Indian cinema with the sub categories by language industry etc. It will really help to connect every Indian cinema article as with every other country. THanks, I jhope other key memebers of your project agree ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I have also altered the indexing of the Lists of Indian films so that when he click on e.g Category:Tamil-language films the list of films will be at the top rather than in the middle of the films ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
THANKYOU!! Much appreicated. keep up the good work on Shilpa Shetty and Indian cinema -I started a number of her earlier films whilst she was on BB e.g Aakrosh 1994-1997 films mostly etc -feel free to expand them or whatever. I have also generated a list of missing Indian films from wikipedia which you and the Indian cinema project may find useful. I'll retrieve it for you now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Here is the entire list of missing Indian films from Wikipedia
It may be a usefultool to tell everyone at WP:Indian cinema which films are missing from the project -I haven't got around to sorting them yet!! but fell free to sort the lists ideally it needs severla members to remove all the films already on wikipedia and then red link all of the missing articles -to ensure complete coverage . Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
All of the lists neeed bulleting and wikifying like the beginning of Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Indian Films:A-D. If you could ensure that most of Indian cinema are aware of this data list I hope it will be a useful tool for the project ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
As with other countries I would hope that the template will be suitable for adding on all articles including screenwriters of India, Indian direcotrs, all films etc unless it is e.g a one line stub and the template is too dominating . It is a massive task global film this is why | feel it important to set up an important framework for each country. I should join Indian cinema sometime -I always find it fascinating but I haven't got around to India yet. I currently working on the Category:Argentine films. All the best and thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Ekantik I am sorry but I did know how to proceed with your instructions - I tried to do my best. I will explain our insertion in Wikipedia and I hope that you will be able to remove the block. I have applied to be whitelisted. Link for whitelist consideration: srisathyasaibookcentre.org.uk
Page to use the link on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sathya_Sai_Baba
Why the link would be useful to the encyclopedia article proper:
The website in question serves two functions:
a. It represents the Sri Sathaya Sai Book Centre (SSSBC), based in London - the only Sri Sathya Sai Book Shop or Centre in Europe with its own premises. The Book Centre also ships Sathya Sai books to parties all over the world; with books in various ethnic languages, the Book Centre is the only such provider in the West that stocks Sathya Sai books in Hindi, Gujarati and Chinese.
b. It provides a wealth of information and resources about Sri Sathya Sai Baba, his life and his message. This information complements the Wikipedia resource as it provides devotees with direction and help, especially with regard to visiting the Ashram. See for example: srisathyasaibookcentre.org.uk/ashram-going-to-the-ashram1.php
The reasons given for blacklisting this website are that:
1. It is not an official Sri Sathya Sai website 2. It is not an International Sri Sathya Sai website 3. It a commercial entity
In dealing with each, we hope to show that that the SSSBC website is a valuable resource to Wikipedia users and should be reinstated in the stated Wikipedia page
1. The SSSBC is entirely owned by the Sri Sathya Sai UK Trust (SSUT), which is the official charity of the Sri Sathya Sai UK Organisation, and recognised by the Charity Commission. The website in question represents the SSSBC and therefore represents an official Sri Sathya Sai body under the auspices of the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisation in India.
2. Whilst the SSSBC is located in London, it provides resources to interested parties all over the world. However, in order to accommodate the stated objection, a 'Regional' section of the stated Wikipedia page was set up. However, it seems this change did not satisfy the stated objections.
3. The SSSBC is owned by the SSUT, so it is in no way a commercial entity - it is part of a charitable trust. The main function of the SSSBC is to make Sai Baba's message freely available to the general public. The fact that the SSSBC sells books should be seen to conflict with this function, but in fact supports it. Any revenue from the sale of books goes directly to the SSUT. The SSSBC is also subsidised by the SSUT to cover the operating losses. 89.243.90.190 18:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I, Smee, award this Graphic Designer's Barnstar to Ekantik, for your nice template work. Good job. Yours, Smee 03:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC). |
Unbelievably a nasty user has put all of the cinema templates up for deletion. I beelive they serve a great purpose for establishing a better understanding and connection between articles. But in totla haste he has gone ahead and proposed the lot. If my hard work is deleted I swear I am leaving wikipedia for good. I am willing to limit the use of the American template but not the others.
Please leave your view at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 13 THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Ekantik. Nice of you to write and inquire. It was a real pleasure helping all of you at the Indian Cinema Dept. to sharpen up articles. It was a joy cooperating and interacting with some of you. But one can only juggle apples for so long (with the exception of the professional circus performer); there are plenty other things awaiting my dabbling. So all the best to you and the rest of the Indian cinema crew -- keep up your passion! AppleJuggler 01:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Good work Apple Juggler I have come across you in page histories. Hey I've expanded Assamese cinema from a stub and got the first Assame film onto wikipedia Joymati. May need copy editing What do you think? I know the Assma film industry is not exactly rging but I feel a few films and details added as it is linked in the world cinema and Indian template! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 22:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey see my proposals at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Actor and Filmmakers and the main WP Film and Biography talk page. Know anybody who is interested? Actors and all film people articles need a body on wikipedia to upkeep them asthey need more focus -it would be a part of Biogrpahy and Film. If you are interested or know somebody who would be, please let them know and whether you think it is a good progession for the project or not. Please leave your views at the council or biogrpahy main talk page. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ekantik! You've put a LOT of effort on Shilpa Shetty. IMO you should now get it ready for Featured Article candidacy. You may consider to run it in WP:PR first. It's got good references, comprehensive. Suggestions in PR and FAC would definitely make the article an FA. Please try. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 18:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, I'd like to ask why you think this edit of yours determines that the image does not fulfil FU criteria? I have presented a detailed FU rationale at Image:Jaya_Bachchan.jpg as well as employed the appropriate FU template. Category:Official_photographs_of_Indian_politicians is a list of Indian-politician articles that employ images using this template, so I am at a loss to understand why you think the image does not fulfill FU criteria. Bear in mind that the image itself is from the official Indian Govt. website. Please reply on my talk-page. Regards, Ekantik talk 02:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Fair use is not a blanket license to copy images. That is for images of which no free replacements can ever be found. Indian politician images are copyrighted. If someone is dead, you might claim that no replacements can be found, but in case of Jaya Bachchan, that argument doesn't hold.
Ganeshk has already replied in Indian-related notice board, I'm quoting him below to show why the use is not a valid fair use:
There has been a huge debate about Fair use images of living persons, and the overwhelming consensus is NOT to use when a photo may be taken of the person. Consider Big B's article ... it now has a free image. -- Ragib 03:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I have started a page model for the new project User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Film biography page model. Please note that it is still in its infancy stage and the templates have not been fully completed. THis is how I'd like the page to look but with an adaption of the task side plate further to incorprate film and biography goals on wikipedia. What do you think as a start? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 16:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

How are you? Long time no Wiki :)
Just dropped by to request you to have a look at the SRK article's talk page, put up a few suggestions there which you might want to have a look at. Theres also a lot of stuff being added about his SFX company and what not, and I'd like to hear some editors' comments about that.
Apologies if this seems a little random, you're the only editor I've really worked with on the Bollywood pages (buzz Hrithik Roshan) and I was looking forward to your inputs.

Plumcouch just edited Rani Mukerji's page. You don't need to. Plus, images speak for thousand words. They are good references because sometimes what is written is gossip. Lastly, awards are a major part of one's career and decide how accomplished an actor really is. And if you do want to delete all of Rani's awards, I suggest you look at other Hollywood actor's pages first. Also consider Preity's page first which even has nomination. Alright.

Hello Ekantik, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image ( Image:Zeecineaward.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Ekantik/Zee Cine Awards. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot) -talk 08:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Jaya_Bachchan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 22:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
HI hope you are well. I have begun ordering the Lists of Indian films - please can some people begin trying to help me complete them with the director/ cast details -I regard them as very important for Indian cinema . The tamil and telugu lists need complete formatting into tables ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 14:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:MKoirala.jpg. I notice 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 16:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to ask if you could step into a little situation I have here. It's been some months since I was last on Wikipedia and some things have changed around, so I don't know where and how to report this. I have a problem with a disruptive and uncivil editor who is harassing me with links to defamatory sites. After I removed a partisan and original research external link from the links section of
Sathya Sai Baba,
Kkrystian promptly began a mini-edit war which continued even after I explained to him on his
talk page why said link was inadmissible. He continued to re-add this link but has stopped now as another editor has stepped in to seek consensus. If you ask me, there is no consensus to be sought since this issue was discussed at ArbCom and all editors agreed to leave it out do to its violation of
WP:OR,
WP:EL, and possibly more.
However, on a related article (
Sai Baba of Shirdi, Kkrystian has been removing reliably sourced information because he does not agree with it, stating that the words "violent" and "uncouth" is the author's POV and thus inadmissible. You can familiarise yourself with that discussion
here and
here. As Kkrystian has declared on his userpage that he is a devotee of Sathya Sai Baba (and by extension, Shirdi Sai Baba) in his real life, there may be conflict-of-interest issues here. Either way, it seems that editors generally agree that reliably-sourced references should not be removed. Kkrystian had been engaging in an edit war over that issue and was blocked for 24-hours over 3RR by yourself
here. He refused to discuss the issue on his talk-page or on the article talk-page until after his block, preferring to explain his actions in edit summaries. But it appears that he hasn't learnt much from his 3RR block because he has begun indulging in
personal attacks on me over at
Talk:Sathya Sai Baba by way of posting URLS that happen to be defamatory against me and which include my surname in the URL title, as well as insinuating that I have ulterior motives for removing a link that is violating
WP:EL and contributes nothing to the article.
After I informed Kkrystian on his talk page that he shouldn't be indulging in personal attacks
here and that he shouldn't be revealing other people's personal information (even indirectly)
here, he simply told me to
"get lost". I even tried to refactor the discussion as per
WP:RPA#External_links and
WP:LINKLOVE
here, but I noticed just now that he has restored this link
here that is defamatory against me and which includes my surname in the URL title. He is clearly uncivil, personally attacking me in a hostile way, revealing my personal information, and
harassing me without any provocation. Do you think that this issue could be treated with a block that I think, by all accounts, is well-deserved?
I left Wikipedia for several months because of all these harassment issues and, after feeling ready to return in the last few days or so, did not think I would have to face these types of unprovoked attacks so soon. Please help out, thanks. - Ekantik talk 19:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I see you are working hard on Sai Baba of Shirdi, and tried a DYK nomination for the article. But you know the rules of DYK, new or fivefold.
