- thanks for pointing that out for me! I've been trying to greet newcomers, and my mind just slips from time to time. Deiaemeth 10:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello and welcome - I understand from your edit to Bihar that you perhaps do not know anything about Bihar and so you have removed a factual information as a point of view. Please learn about the matter before doing such edits. Thanks. --Bhadani 15:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
:By the style of your edits and familiarity with wikipedia, anyone may form an opinion that you are a seasoned editor. Have you edited wikipedia with any user name / annonymously earlier? --Bhadani 15:12, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Be bold and in case you have been editing earlier - please use your existing user name: you do not have to remove POV with a different user name. --Bhadani 15:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)- I do believe that he shall surely excel in the assignment he has taken up - certainly a challenging assignemnt. All the best to him. --Bhadani 16:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- BTW: Re 'style of edits' ... I'm familiar with other wikis and use TWiki at work. --DogsBreakfast 15:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
A request
editCopied from the talk page of User talk:Tony Sidaway
| Help me to reduce the disfiguring effect of jargon on Wikipedia discourse. Whenever you are tempted to use POV as a word, consider using one of these alternatives: biased, slanted, subjective, tendentious, opinionated, one-sided, non-neutral, partisan, unfair, poorly framed, unbalanced, partial (please add to this list) |
I trust that before removing the percieved POV to the existing contents, you shall get familiar with the subject matter. I am sure that you do not presume that you know about everything! Or, do you know? --Bhadani 15:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
But that is the fact
editBut that is the plain fact: as I belong to Bihar & Jharkhand, and everyone from those two states of 100000000 people would certify to that fact. Thanks for your prompt response - I am sure that you shall be an asset to wikipedia or are you already. Cheers. --Bhadani 16:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, DB, I think I know this literature pretty well. Many gtr textbooks discuss competitors of GTR. There are many such, but the only one which is mentioned in every such discussion is Brans-Dicke. Many authors specifically call it the best-known competitor or something like that. If you doubt my word, please ask over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics. TIA ---CH 01:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. Obviously my mistake. I've left a slightly longer note of explanation on Talk:CH --DogsBreakfast 12:19, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

editHi there! I don't much like the general vagueness of "prominent" either, but I couldn't think of anything better for the time being. I figure that violists don't get all that much coverage anyway, and as the article is so short, it could be a bit more in the reader's face to make the point. Schnittke, too, and contemporary composers in general are probably not that well known to your average reader. I felt the "prestigious venues" thing wasn't entirely superfluous because it related to recital venues rather than big concert halls. Thanks for contributing and replying though; I wasn't following that article all that closely (it's a very quiet article). --Quadalpha 00:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
