My Rfa

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 05:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Poverty in India

Hi. Can you please look into the article Poverty in India. The situation is deteriorating there. The user:Nikkul and User:Bakasuprman are involved in ANI and making wild accusations on me. They seems to hellbent in removing the begger image. But as I have explained, this image is true representative of poverty than the anonymous image of farmer's houses. Could you please look into the matter. Thanks. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 05:51, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Four color theorem

I put the United States back on the list of countries with exclaves, while leaving Russia in there (since it's also a good example). The exclaves for the US are Alaska and Hawaii. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Exclaves have to be surrounded by alien territory, which is why I didn't think of Hawaii. Of course, Alaska is as correct as Kaliningrad is, though I suspect neither is technically correct. Relata refero (talk) 17:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:CONCISE

No, I didn't, sorry. I actually wasn't aware that it existed. It does sound like an interesting idea. I was just trying to say, in a colourful way, that Misplaced Pages editors should be concerned about keeping the articles concise, like I think encyclopedia articles should be. I'd never heard of the actual WP:CONCISE and I didn't think such a thing existed. Obviously they are concerned about a different sort of concision. Kind of funny. Sorry about the confusion though. --JGGardiner (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC) Well what I was trying to say is it isn't just in the policies. We have to be able to step back and see an encyclopedia article when it is all done. Hmm, I wonder if there is a WP:GESTALT? =) --JGGardiner (talk) 18:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Poverty in India

A voting is going on in the talk page on inclusion of image. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 05:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

This user is in a smear campaign aganist me in multiple talk pages. Informed partisan editors like Hkelkar socks Gahnadar galpa about this image. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 08:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the support

It means something. Anyway, the Yamashita's gold dispute (etc) is not the only reason I'm wikibreaking: I really do have pressing real life matters to attend to, as well as burgeoning wikipediholism :-) and have blocked myself from editing until the end of March. Grant (talk) 11:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

By the way, Thom Burnett, in the Conspiracy Encyclopedia, which is a critical work, and not a blanket endorsement of conspiracies, states: "The Golden Lily hoard in the Philippines is also confirmed..." (p. 219). Burnett goes on to question other findings by the Seagraves, such as the involvement of "famous Americans" in appropriation of the hoard. Grant (talk) 03:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Completely out of context comment

(With vague reference to WP:BLPN) You have the patience of a saint. :) --Moonriddengirl 14:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

re: qn

hi. sorry for not responding to your query. thanks a lot for the offer, but i think the relevant ones have been tagged now. --Soman (talk) 22:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Blocked user

You mentioned on BLP that IP: 121.220.6.59 would be blocked per an IRC convo for 3RR violation. But I don't see anything in his block log. And he's now created an account at User talk:100%freehuman that should be blocked with the IP per whatever arrangement you made on IRC. MBisanz 05:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Tiggy Legge-Bourke

Thanks for your edit - you're quite right, of course. Xn4 11:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Strange

Have you see Special:Contributions/Nikhilsohail. Possible sock. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 12:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I have opened a case Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Ghanadar galpa. Can you please help there. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi there, thanks for becoming involved on the Animal testing talk page, I think this article will benefit a great deal from a wider range of views, and more input from the community in discussions. Tim Vickers (talk) 17:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Response to Treaty of Tripoli

I have responded to your concern on the Treaty of Tripoli talk page. I have listed four other works that directly verify the one in question. Two of those four cannot be questioned over legitimacy, since their publishers are highly respected and would not product "crack pot" theories. To make it easier, here are links to their pages on Amazon, so you can have a sense of the authors and their background: and . As you can see, they have been rated by the New York Times, been praised by many critics, and are from distinguished authors that have published many books. Ottava Rima (talk) 15:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Witzel/Frawley

No doubt if you did find a way to write a concise and accurate summary, someone would claim it was a BLP violation and revert you. Not really worth the trouble, I think. --Akhilleus (talk) 15:59, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Soliciting your thoughts

To avoid further conflict, I'd like to ask your opinion. Where do you believe I should post the second-hand complaint about ScienceApologist? Would it be more appropriate to add it to the arb request, or to the Homeopathy probation subpages, or should I do both? I'm leaning towards taking Jossi's advice and posting it to the probation subpages, particularly considering that the arbs seem disinclined to take the case (and at least one arb (Newyorkbrad) has openly expressed that the probation should be allowed to play out before the committee takes on the situation). I'd appreciate your feedback on this issue. Thanks! Vassyana (talk) 19:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

So you are aware, I also asked the advice of SirFozzie. The conclusion reached was that I should post the complaint at the probation subpage and leave a short comment with a link to the complaint at the RFAR. Does that seem like a reasonable solution to you? Vassyana (talk) 19:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

No fair posting to my talk page at the same time I'm posting to yours. :-P Thanks for your advice! Vassyana (talk) 19:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Heterodox

Thanks very much for taking the time to explain your thinking to me. I'm about to leave on a visit and won't be back till Tuesday evening at the earliest, and will reply to you then. Just to say though that I'm interested in various economic theories that are considered heterodox, e.g. regulation theory. Best wishes. Itsmejudith (talk) 10:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Ferguson

I was waiting for a response on the article Talk: page. Since you're willing to take on the job of ensuring BLP, I'll unprotect it. Jayjg 03:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

DYK

On 3 February, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John Lade, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

.mil refs

You mentioned a couple times that .mil, or military pub'd, refs were inadmissable. Is there an article to support that assertation? Otherwise, almost all of our WP:Military History articles will be in trouble, as most rely on DoD sourcing at some level or another. But I don't want to keep using them if I oughtn't. Thanks. --BizMgr (talk) 06:09, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I understand now. Thanks for clariying. --BizMgr (talk) 00:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Note

Do you believe as Guy does that I am Anthony Zufuto? Anthon01 (talk) 14:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Does this hold any weight. As you know he was imtimately involved with the case. Anthon01 (talk) 15:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Thanks

Thank you very much for your comments. I think this is the first time I get an appreciation since I’d been editing and doing all these general cleanups. --Avinesh Jose  T  05:04, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Trouble on the Sonia Gandhi page

Your recent edits to the Sonia Gandhi page have been entirely reverted by User:Inder315. I have been in a long fight with him over that content but he keeps inserting it back. He has also been blocked before for operating three other sockpuppet accounts on that page, but obviously hasn't learnt his lesson. What to do?

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Seresin

I saw your reply at the above. Using tabbed browsing I got confused between your input at various debates, and your history count which seemed to show registration of the account on Jan 28th (it was actually another user entirely of course). Doh! How silly do I feel! So, just to reiterate - apologies for my commentary against you at that RfA and best wishes. Pedro :  Chat  10:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Religious violence in India

Hi Relata refero, I will be away from the internet for some days, I want to bring some fact in your notice.

• The article Religious violence in India has a "History" section depicitng religious violence in India from historical time. The section is divided into three paragraphs, one is for ancient and medieval period, second paragraph is for pre-independence events in modern India, and the third paragraph is for post-Independence history.
• The first paragraph describe religious violence in ancient India by Pusyamitra Sunga, his hostile attitude towards Buddhism, advent of Islam in the subcontinent, advent of Christianity, events like Goa Inquisition.
• The second paragraph mainly focuses on Direct Action Day and mentions events like Moplah Rebellion.
• The third paragraph describes the history of religious violence in India after Independence. It mentions rise of Islamic terrorism, religion based politics, effect of Hindutva activists, violence against minority communities by Hindutva activists. The present structure of the paragrapgh is

I fear some POV edits there may change the shape of this paragraph, especially those mentioning violence by Hindutva activists. Some are trying to add Christian terrorism there, but Chrisitan terrorism is mainly limited to North-East India, and primarily carried out by NLFT. And the terrorism by NLFT is generally regarded as secessionist (rather than pure Christian terrorism), there is a separate paragrapph of this in the article. Mentioning Christian terrrorism in the history section will not be appropriate, because of its limited impact, ethnic source of violence, and limited operation only in North-East India. While incidents of Islamic terrorism occured in all over India. This paragraph depicts the general situation all over India, analyses the systematic violence against minority communities in post-Independence history.

• There is a separate section in the article titled "Lesser incidents" which depicts incidents of religious violence in minor scale, not notable for having separate section of its own. It includes incidents like Marad Massacre. This section should not be filled with all small incidents of violence all over India. I fear some POV-pushing may add trivial incidents of violence in that section.

I will be away from the internet for some days. So I am bringing the article to your attention. Regards. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 10:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

A bunch of Non-notable again

A request, please look at this and leave your comments. Do we really need to keep all these stuffs? --Avinesh Jose  T  11:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Economic development corporation

Hi. You've prodded this article but I can't find your reasoning anywhere. It would be great if you could either replace the current tag with one that includes your concern or explain it on the talk page. Natalie (talk) 14:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
