Re: Need Help with changing the name of the article

Hi! There are several other Lawrence school articles. I'm not sure whether you can change the name of an article but you can Move the article. Can you create a link to the article you have written? (Reply at my talk page) Ω Anonymous anonymous Ψ: ''Have A Nice Day'' 16:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I just asked Commander Keane, you can move articles. Can you create a link to the article you have written? (Reply at my talk page) Ω Anonymous anonymous Ψ: ''Have A Nice Day'' 17:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Problem Solved

I have renamed your article to Lawrence School, Lovedale. I have also created a Disambiguation Page for all Lawrence schools.

Hello!

Hello Mary Jane, wishing u the same --ramit 14:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

superthanks

Hi Ramitbhai - I'm very sorry to have disappointed your expectation in me, but it had become impossible for me to compromise my principles. I don't covet adminship at all, so it wasn't a difficult decision - I simply cannot accept misrepresentation and nonsense. However, I cannot tell you how greatly joyous I feel at the enthusiastic, wonderful support you expressed for me. I don't know how hard it will be to understand that your supports means extremely a lot to me. I thank you from my heart, and please let me know if I can ever be assistance or help in anything.

Vandalism reporting

Hi,

Saw that you reported vandalism of Mahatma Gandhi on Nichalp's page. Its a good sign that you are trying to do your bit by reporting vandalisms. However, it is possible that the admin you are trying to contact may be offline. For quick actions, its preferable to use WP:AIV (for blocking vandals) and WP:RPP (for requesting page protection). Cheers -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I've semi protected the page. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:16, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Nathuram Godse

An anon user has removed all references to Godse's caste affiliation (Chitvan Brahmin) and just described him as a Hindu. I dunno whether to let that stand or not. On the one hand, caste labels are medieval and applying them here may be a slur on his caste. On the other hand, being a Brahmin, especially in South India, says a lot about a person (alas) Brahmins are over-represented in the professions, the intelligentsia, etc. What do you think? Should I ask on the India project page? Zora 22:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Zora, I did a quick check on some websites including www.nathuramgodse.com. He was definitely a Chitpavan Brahmin and considering the timeline of the incidents, I think it should be mentioned in the article. However I could not find any reference about the second statement regarding attacks on his community... ramit 05:34, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Manali Article

Hi Ramit! (I hope I have got your name right) I am a Himachal enthusiast and in that capacity, I have keen interest on all Himachal related articles. I have been to Manali several times and to most other places in Himachal. I wish to improve the article into a full blown Wiki Quality article. I am planning to visit Manali very soon and when I do that, I will take a few pictures exclusively for this article. So I would request you to keep watching this article. I will write to you if I need any help. Regards...RMehra 04:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Found the answer. Thanks ! RMehra 06:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal

Hi Ramit, not only have many administrators tried reasoning with him, but there is an arbitration committee decision totally against him, and beyond this, there is no recourse in Misplaced Pages. Twenty archives of the talk:Rajput page bear witness to the pointlessness of engaging with him. Note that my involvement in the affair came late in the day; his main fight was with Bachmann, who had tried ....... to reason with him!! He has in the past single-handedly worn down a dozen good-faith editors. He is a quintessential troll, some 50 of whose accounts have been banned. Note further that my "reverts" are only an undoing of his senseless, pointless vandalising of my edits. Please consider helping to revert his actions, but take my advise and give up all idea of reasoning with him. Regards, ImpuMozhi 15:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
