Hey Andy! Thank you for the confidence shown in me during my recently concluded RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 77/2/0 . I'm still exploring the new tools, so feel free to point out any mistakes on my part. In case you need help with anything, just drop me a message. Thanks again; and here's wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Diwali!--thunderboltz(Deepu) 11:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
PS: The wonky question was tough. Do ye fit into either, Sir Nicholas? |
Happy Diwali!

Hello Anirudh,
I wish you a very happy Diwali! May you enjoy yourself on this day commemorating good over evil. Cheers! --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 12:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Another Diwali greeting!
Happy Diwali from BostonMA talk 12:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Happy Diwali (or Deepavali as we call it here in Singapore)! Do enjoy the weekend and let the good overcome the evil for you. See you on IRC or IM later. :D --Terence Ong (T | C) 13:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
3RR
I`ve received a 3RR warning from you. What is that all about? Greier 15:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- NP. Cheers!. Greier 15:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
3RR warning to William Mauco
That is the third warning he received this month. What`s next? Beg him not to break 3RR? Expecting answer. Greier 15:54, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I am no expert in this particular article. And if he keeps himself from breaching 3RR, what are we policy wonks going to do? Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Mauco here. I am certainly eager to work well with everyone, and in particular with editors that I disagree with. If someone believes that a particular edit of mine is NOT a "good faith edit", then I sincerely hope to hear about it with a personal message on my User Talk page. - Mauco 16:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
I guess it ok to Liable
“Headless Nick” is a dque. Now, I can file it but it’s not relevant unless a. it’s accepted by the Judge to be valid b. It’s proven in a court of law.
In a political campaign, when such charges sprung in a October Surprise filing, considering that Peter Roskam has practiced law for over 15year with one blemish to his professinal record makes one thing its non relevent, at this time as will as opens wikipedia to the possibility of lawsuit for its inconsistent enforcement of WP:WP Consider Jimbo admonition to “get it right” it would safer to remove the malpractice charge until it gets to court.207.67.146.166 16:43, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

RfC
Thanks for letting me know, Nick! It's a big WP:POINT being made by the person filing it (but then, show me someone subject to the sharp-end of an RfC who doesn't say that! :o) and an attempt to avoid the block for disruption I warned the user that s/he was heading for. Nevertheless, it's worth seeing it play out. Thanks again! ➨ ЯEDVERS 18:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

DYK pic
I am using Firefox and am unable to view the image. Can you fix the parameter? — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Disappeared on me again! :-( I'm in the process of refreshing DYK completely. Hang in there. --PFHLai 15:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've refreshed DYK with new entries and the new pic seems to work fine on my screen. I hope this is the end of the problem. --PFHLai 17:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- It seems to be working fine now. Even Lar gave up hope on this. :P — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- Good to know that it is still working. Thanks. No more cropping by me for the next little while, I suppose. --PFHLai 17:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- You only changed the image, DANG! — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Name Change
From the artiste formerly known as AA Milne - Just a quick note to let you know I can now be found lurking about at User:Heligoland Best wishes and Kind Regards Heligoland 00:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Cool, buddy. I am happy for you. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
About the picture in your user page
Hey, I like very much the picture you put on your user page. I recognize the seal of the Templars of Jerusalem on the figure. May be he is a chief Templar like Geoffroy de Bouillon ? Nice picture. Really. TwoHorned 16:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- I found it on the commons perhaps. I was looking for a picture which showed some likeness to Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I believe he's the same guy. You can check this article – Godfrey of Bouillon. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Block gone wrong?
Hi, I reported 207.157.146.66 at WP:AIV and it looked like you blocked him/her but now it looks like something went wrong with the blocking:
- 207.157.146.66 (talk · contribs)
- My report "207.157.146.66 - More "last warnings" than the Apocalypse)"
- Your list clearance "(all blocked, LIST EMPTY)"
- 207.157.146.66's block log
Thanks for your help stopping repeat vandals. --A. B. 18:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- I noticed a couple of other blocks had difficulties from that list -- see also [4] and [5]. --A. B. 03:26, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Can't be a block gone wrong. Looks like I made a mistake. I wanted to remove that vandal reported by Nehwyn, because it had been warned only once in that day and removed yours by mistake. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing this! (I will avoid puns about losing your head ....) --A. B. 16:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- I still have my head here. Its only dangling, for god's sake; I am not headless yet! — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Interventions on Narendra Modi page
Thanks for correcting the article in the light of reliable sources.That article is surely a casse tete and at times editors do get a bit defensive for various reasons.TerryJ-Ho 20:00, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Would you mind blocking him please? Thanks. By the way, I think that image can go as only he's using it, and not in a free-use way. yandman 16:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Blocked for 12 hours. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Is it possible to stop him blanking his talk page while blocked? yandman 16:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- I could protect it, but then you would have to remind me to unprotect it again when the block expires. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hopefully, I'll be far away from my computer by then. Shame they don't have a time limited protection option. Have a nice weekend. yandman 16:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
about aksi/Hkelkar/RFCU etc.
Seriously what is your view on this whole thing? When you confronted me on Aksi's talk page, I meant exactly what I said, that I felt he stabbed me and other Hindu users in the back. Usually I have something better to do (more edits than BhaiSaab, TwoHorned, Hkelkar, and TerryJHo combined), but seeing Hindu users ganged up on by cabals of trolls does get my blood boiling.Bakaman Bakatalk 22:59, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not about Hindus and Muslims. Its about citing reliable sources and verifiablity. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Have a look at this and you will know what I am talking about. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

For the barnstar. My very first. :-) --Xiaopo (Talk) 05:08, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Andy. Could you come on IRC if you are online. Want to discuss something. - Aksi_great (talk) 07:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

GNLU
Hello Anirudh i am from NUJS. I have added a Law school template to most of the law school page hope you like it. Legaleagle86 09:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- I liked the template. Perhaps you could templatise it. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, there; wondering if you had any comments or input regarding this user's current unblock request? :) Thanks in advance. Luna Santin 03:46, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Unblocked. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 11:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your nomation!
Hey Sir Nick, thanks for your terrific nomination to my RFA!! The response so far has completely floored me!! -- Lost(talk) 10:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi there
Nice to meet you. :) riana_dzasta 13:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Ahh crap
Um, regarding your vote on the recent RfA; you have placed it in the wrong section – and that user is a very recent; I wonder why you ended up supporting him. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm going virtually insane (lol) -- typed Support without realising.. haha. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 14:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Happens to me all the time. LOL. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, are these edits of Terry's acceptable?
Bear in mind that my talk page edits regarding this matter were memos based on the suggestions of a mediator in an unrelated dispute.I will abide by your decision regarding this. If you think that Terry's edits are legitimate then OK.As of now, I believe that they constitute harrassment.Hkelkar 12:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Removing warnings, whether relevant or not relevant isn't kosher. Although warnings by vandals can be removed, I let them be on my page and someone comes around and comments about its validity. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- > Basically - the initial warning was this.The other two he marked above are warnings on removing the first warning a number of times on the pretext that Admins have agreed [implying that admins have agreed that it is right to say "SOCK ARMY"] - considering that the editor has repeatedly been asked not to use confrontational language, Wikipedia is not a battlefield and comment on content and not the editor - at the time of that remark he was still on a block for incivilty.Use of such language is not civil and remindful that he has not mend his ways.I could have been wrong to assume and that is why I asked him to seek an admins views before removing but he blanks out the warning saying he only "unrendered" the warning - in turn I got rewarded by this on my user pageTerryJ-Ho 14:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Revert-warring is bad. If a user does something wrong, posting one warning generally does the job. There is no need to repeat it again as it only exacerbates the situation. Instead leave an edit summary with the word Warning and report it to the admin who comes to the concerned user talk page. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
The last checkuser concluded that it was "likely." BhaiSaab talk 18:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Likely is generally not good enough. I suggest you start collecting some serious evidence and approach ArbCom member User:Dmcdevit and ask of his opinions on this matter. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 14:50, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I have replied to your question on my talk page. BhaiSaab talk 16:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
User:66.225.141.126
Regarding this. Try leaving vandals who do not have a long abusive past, at least one warning before posting the {{test4}} template. Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you in theory, but this user had two prior blocks and a whole bunch of test4s on his/her talk page. It did, in fact, look to me like a "long abusive past." The edit I was warning against was this. And the test4 did, in fact, stop any further vandalism from that user yesterday (it began again today, resulting in a different admin giving a third block). Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Mmmkay, but I always believe in giving them a chance. In my opinion it is subtle vandalism that really threatens Wikipedia. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Your Muslim Guild action
Sir Nick, just wanted to swing by and thank you for your reversal. I do appreciate you taking the appropriate time for it. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Its only because I hold you in utmost respect. I am a process wonk and that page, in my opinion, is a waste of wikipedia's resources. I hope to see your comments on the MfD, for which I have requested the other user to present evidence of solicitation and advocacy. Thank you for your time. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 15:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'll keep my eyes open for it. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

You may notice that User:68.115.227.253, whom you just blocked, and User:209.215.83.201 seem to be in cahoots. --Flex 15:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

- Yep. You doing the same? I get preempted by you sometimes. :X --thunderboltz(Deepu) 16:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Don't worry, even Tawker started complaining that day. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 16:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Is it not showing up in some backgrounds? Sorry, Highway Grammar Enforcer! 17:07, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

- Oh, ok. :) --Fang Aili talk 18:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I think you may have made a mistake
Your block of User:Kunstgebit lists "(I just love vandals who leave "vandalism" for editsummaries.)" as the reason. I checked, because I was curious why someone would do that. His edit summary of "vandalism" refers to this edit where he complained on an IP talk page that that user had vandalized. I checked his other contribs and I saw no vandalism and no talk page warnings. Am I missing something? Cheers Dina 17:30, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please stop using euphemistic sentences in front of me. I think you may have made a mistake; There is no question of may! I did make a mistake. So, unblocked. Thanks for pointing this out – I couldn't have kept this on my conscience. :P — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 17:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, no more euphemisms! If I catch another one, I'll give it a much blunter title. Thanks for fixing it, I felt a bit bad for the guy, his vandal message was kind of endearing. Cheers. Dina 19:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting my RfA
Thank you for your support in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA.
I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it.
