Hello! Please add more to your articles beyond simple, incomplete sentences. These are generally deleted immediately for lack of content. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 4 July 2005 07:04 (UTC)

You got it. All too often, articles like these get written and then forgotten. Have fun and thanks for the note! - Lucky 6.9 4 July 2005 07:08 (UTC)

India links

Hi! Here are some India-related links

Would you be knowing the differences between Delhi, New Delhi and National capital territory? My understanding is that the New Delhi is a city, Delhi is the metropolis that is made up of the cities of New Delhi, Delhi cantonment, and some villages. How many municipal commissioners does Delhi have? Thanks, =Nichalp «Talk»= July 6, 2005 06:30 (UTC)

Quote from Manorama Yearbook 2003 - pg 704, The National Capital Territory is made up of three census towns – Delhi, New Delhi and Delhi Cantt; and 214 villages. I am undertaking a wikiproject to improve India's cities, states and districts. The cities project guidelines are complete, see it here: Wikipedia:Wikiproject Indian cities. So we'll need to have separate pages for Delhi, ND, DC and NCT in addition to the 9 districts. Yeah, the information cleared some of by doubts. Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= July 7, 2005 10:59 (UTC)

What the hell were you thinking?

Redirects

Stop vandalising Wikipedia. I certainly cannot believe that your redirects are accidents: Jesus, Bible and Guru Granth Sahib all at the same time? Grow up. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 9 July 2005 11:32 (UTC)

SIIEG

Hi. Congradulations on being the first SIIEG member besides myself :P I have moved SIIEG to a centralized location: Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam:SIIEG

• Ok, I added our friend Anonymous User. Count me in for SIIEG too! --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 18:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Apostasy in Islam

Hi, I consider this edit to meet the description of Wikipedia:Vandalism, i.e. an indisputably bad-faith addition, deletion, or change to content. I can understand that you are upset at the harm caused to innocent people around the world by fundamentalism Muslims (and I personally sympathize with it - I was supposed to fly on 9/11), but that's no excuse for this. Pull this kind of stunt again, and you'll be on an enforced Wikibreak for vandalism. Noel (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

You are being blocked from editing for 24 hours for this edit to Islamist terrorism. Next time, it will be considerably longer. Noel (talk) 05:09, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heraclius (talk • contribs) 04:54, 31 July 2005

Existentializer

Just for your information: [3] Existentializer banned for "suspicion" based on someone's vandalizing his user page. This is way out of line. Ni-ju-Ichi 05:18, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Enviroknot was banned from editing by the arbitration committee - Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/KaintheScion et al. - use of sockpuppets to get around this is explicitely forbidden. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 19:03, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Also note that both Existentializer and Ni-ju-Ichi have been confirmed as sockpuppets of Enviroknot by David Gerard, a developer of the Wikipedia code, who is permitted to use IP checking to determine this - i.e. they use the same IP or the same password, or both. ~~~~ ( ! | ? | * ) 19:06, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

An RfA

I thought that you might be interested in this request for adminship: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Anonymous editor -- Karl Meier 12:32, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Warning

If I see you make one more bigoted remark anywhere on this website, I'll block this account without further warning. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 01:23, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for disruption. Please feel free to e-mail me using the link on my user page if you feel this is unfair, and I'll get straight back to you. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 02:24, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I see you are currently blocked which is why you emailed me. I disapprove in very strong terms of personal campaigning on either side of an RfA, either in support or in opposition. I do not appreciate it — at all. In any case, if you'd looked at the RfA, you'd have seen I have already voted, but without any need to resort to what, frankly, sounds like a campaign organized around the various POVs in particular articles. -Splash^talk 02:48, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Muwaffaq, I support you in this clear case of misuse of administrative powers. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 06:49, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

This is part of general problem of admin abritrariness. If someone needs blocking for all but the most severe cases, it should be taken to an RfC/Arbcom. Admins are way too quick on the trigger to block people who they find obnoxious. Klonimus 09:01, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

If you 'Islam critics' weren't so eager to team up with random jerks like Deeptrivia/Muwaffaq who just happen to share the general gist of your opinions, maybe we could get some actual work done. I would like more academic criticism of Islam on Wikipedia, but as it is, we are too busy fighting the redneck vandals. Really, get some perspective. 130.60.142.65 08:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

If you didn't comment anonymously, we might be more impressed than as of now. Most vandalism is not from rednecks, but red sympathizers, though. --Germen (Talk | Contribs ) 11:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

email

I'm sorry, this really isn't acceptable.

Hi everyone, User:Anonymous editor is contesting for Adminship. Many votes in his support are by usernames created in the last couple of days, and their only contribution to wikipedia has been that vote. When I pointed that out, User:Anonymous editor deleted my comments, marking his deletions as a "minor edit", and his close admin friend User:Slimvirgin blocked me. This pair is known for misusing wikipedia policies and admin powers in the past, for example, with reference to the Islamophobia article. Kindly look into the past credentials of User:Anonymous editor, and cast your vote. Thanks

Image Tagging Image:Nizamuddinbavli.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nizamuddinbavli.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 14:55, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hushang gold tanka 50.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Hushang gold tanka 50.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Holkar.GIF

Thanks for uploading File:Holkar.GIF. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
