No, you were absolutely correct. Thanks for the assist. +1 for my vandal count. Tnxman307 (talk) 12:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Ascidian! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply

for this revert. Wonder how I got on the IP's radar! TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 04:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, it is a bit strange- they've only ever edited your user page. ascidian | talk-to-me 04:23, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

and half the IP vandals I get tend to leave a hint as to the article they're pissed off about (if I speedied or some such) but this one doesn't ring any bells. I guess I'm just that special ;) TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 04:45, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that I can't be of much direct help to you as I don't know anything about those particular topics or know of any good references. In general, however, if you've got a source which provides a different name for something than the name of the Wikipedia article and can't confirm the current name you'd be fully justified in moving the article to the name which matches your reference. This is especially the case for institutions in non-English speaking countries as the name may have been wrongly translated or an incorrect translation used.

• I'm no expert, but it looks like you identified correct sources. I also responded at the Japan MilHist page. Cla68 (talk) 12:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

i suggested whoever wrote about shokof.s Yekishim is probably moved by it. it was not me. i did not place that article in wikipedia. i would also like to add that wikipedia would do much justice to publish the facts rather than making a judgement about them. even if you would DISLIKE thought of YEKISHIM, i would suggest you would be most free-minded in supporting the proper space for it and let the world decide for themselves. not every Moslem feels the same for Christianity as Christians do and or Zartoshtis about the Jewish people. and or......... these grand thoughts are there for people to read about them, and not to be blocked by anyone, less by such a most prominent, major data source searching magnet like wikipedia. thank youSadilla (talk) 17:30, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think you are missing the point, I am not, neither is wikipedia, making a judgement about the merits of Yekishim. It is just that Yekishim is not able to be

verified

via these means it is likely to be removed or deleted. If you would like the material to stay on wikipedia you should read the following:

• Verifiability policy
• No original research

If you have any questions please ask me, regards ascidian | talk-to-me 00:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thank you so much. now i understood. i guess that will have to be done through the web pages about shokof and his maximalism. i will try to collect all the info. i can. thank you dearly again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sadilla (talk • contribs) 12:28, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for removing copyvio from Athoracophoridae article. Please be more careful. You accidentaly removed also interwiki, commons, reflist, image and even a referenced species Triboniophorus brisbanensis! Have a nice day. --Snek01 (talk) 15:00, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, I was comparing old revisions of the article to see which material could be a potential copyvio. I must have edited an old revision by accident and thus removed anything added since. I've put back everything I accidently removed. I will pay more attention in future. regards, ascidian | talk-to-me 15:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am having problems with the deletion template, in that the template does not show up in preview mode, and I am hesitant to make a stupid edit on a common page. I will see if I can get it right shortly, but I would be grateful for any assistance you wish to provide.Jarhed (talk) 07:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, first you need to click on the preloaded debate link on the template you have already put on the Poperratic article. (for convenience you can just click here). That opens a preview of the discussion page, you just need to replace "reason" with your nomination. You can use preview until you are happy and then save it. (Note that this will not be visible on any AFD page yet)

Then you need to list the discussion on todays log at

AFD. (click here for the May 23 log) and add {{subst:afd3|pg=Poperratic}} to the top of the list there. Use something like "Adding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poperratic" as your edit summary, and then you are done. Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have any more questions. ascidian | talk-to-me 10:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply

[Edit] here

Hi, Any idea why edits done by me are not viewable in the History section? I am in the process of trying to get copyright access to the article and what I see is that the reverted edits are not comparable in the History of page

Maratha War of Independence

at all! This is pathetic - show me standards where reverted History can not be viewed. In case I get copyright access, I will have to spend my time again typing things out because of edits done in such ugly manner that is kept hidden.

I am note sure also why changes done in this fashion were allowed without consent and notification. ..असक्तः सततं कार्य कर्म समाचर | असक्तः हि आचरन् कर्म.. Humour Thisthat2011 19:54, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
