List of international cricket centuries at the Kensington Oval‎

Hello, I hope all is well. Harrias has raised the point at FLC that some players shouldn't be sorted by their second name, do you have any idea on which ones shouldn't? Cheers. Aaroncrick TALK 22:36, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I have limited on wiki time these days and completely missed your post when I logged in yesterday. I've responded on the FLC discussion now. It looks ok (until you have VVS or M Vijay scoring a century there). —SpacemanSpiff 07:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. Aaroncrick TALK 08:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Christianity in India

Hey, do you find this user, 75.134.157.143 (talk · contribs) a bit suspicious, namely relating to Rokkala (renamed to Coramandel23)? Technically, the last IP we know is in Minnesota, and this IP geolocates to Wisconsin. Geographically, they're not that far, but I'm finding this a bit suspicious. Elockid (Talk) 01:12, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

From the contrib history very smelly. The language and SPA bit matches too. Could very well be home vs work as people commute across state lines around there. YM located another IP (that I'm not aware of) so you could check with him. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 13:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Using the geolocator, the IPs geolocate to around 250 miles apart. So I'm not sure if it's work vs home yet. This is is why I'm a bit hesitant to block. Everything else fits though. I suppose this could be wrong. Geolocating my IP address, it geolocates to a different county, so I know it's not entirely accurate. Anyways, I asked YM about it. Hopefully he can get to the bottom of this. Elockid (Talk) 02:12, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

216.2.60.98

This one, http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Special:Contributions/216.2.60.98 has gone on his merry way editing with polemic summaries such as: "It a vandalism to remove RS. ANI will be posted to block those meat puppets who undo for their friends through hidden communication)" and "‎ (I guess you are an admn not a meat puppet. Do not UNDO valid edits. Read RS before you abuse your admn power.)" You said it was his last warning, so I thought I'd let you know. --Pstanton (talk) 05:49, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the delayed response. The chap is a banned editor User:Naadapriya. I just don't have much on-wiki time these days, so wasn't able to follow up on the warning earlier. I see that the IP has been blocked now, so it should be ok for a while. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 09:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Gujjar

Hi fellow editor. Please could you take a look at article Gujjar. Me and other editors like User:Chora, have worked hard on making it balanced and cutting the so called "caste wars" on Wikipedia, yet there is an editor who seems to want to add a particular point of view. Please can you intervene before I am force to report him. Thanks --Sikh-History 12:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't have the time to look through the article, but if there's any repetition of behavior let me know. The edits are certainly POV pushing. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 16:09, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Gujjar

hi Good Morning What is this? everybody giving the warning? why. I am just writing the truth with all refrences. Nothing is private commentary. I dont have any intention to violating the rules of wikipedia. I need clarification.

Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gurjeshwar (talk • contribs) 04:32, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Sir I am not violating any rule of Wikipedia. All my notes on Gujjar are with valid refrences. Then why this warning ? I need clarification Regards


--Gurjeshwar (talk) 04:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Please read WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:YFA. Your edits are definitely not conforming to policy, all of it is just personal opinion or random sources that fail WP:RS. —SpacemanSpiff 04:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Why my text (with refrences) reverted from Gujjar Wiki and issuing warning ??

Dear Sir, There is no caste war on Gujjar. All things are concerned with true facts of history, ghazettes, Holy books like Ramayana, Mahabharta and other government documents. There is much evidence in Government Ghazette that in 1857 mutiny the Kotwal of Meerut Dhan Singh was the first rebel, who started revolt against British government. But the name came of Mangal Pandey? Why? You can check the British imperial Ghazette. We inserted all text with refrences in Gujjar, but text was reverted by like sikh history writers. Why always this is happen with gujjar history. Gujjar are Kshatriya, its undisputed fact. Then whats the problem of this my present text inserted in Gujja wiki with available refrences? I am not against any caste and a responsible writer and contribution with true facts. I need clarification and the text which i wrote in Gujjar wiki must be present

hoping for your kind support

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. monosock 03:21, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

About Mayor of Kolkata

Dear SpacemanSpiff, Too much vandalism is going on with this a biography Sovan Chatterjee he is the mayor of Kolkata municipal corporation (similarly the KMC is too vandalized its nearly impossible for me to lookup every single day). Since i don't have administrator privileges pls block this article for at least 3 months. Both the article are vandalized by unknown IP hopper. I hope you will keep my earnest request.--Kkm010as© 12:19, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Protected for a month. Since I'm not online as much these days, you could try posting the request at WP:RFPP or ask another admin for quicker responses. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 13:55, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Posting and official biography

Hello, I saw that you deleted the biography for pornstar rachel starr, I have contacted her by twiteer and she was interested on posting her official biography here. What can i do so it won't be delete? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubenperales (talk • contribs) 23:56, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but Wikipedia is not an advertising site to post official biographies. The subject will have to meet our notability criteria set at WP:N or the genre specific criteria at WP:PORNBIO. If you can show from reliable third party references (subject's website or employer websites, Myspace etc would not qualify under that), then the article will not be deleted. cheers. I don't remember deleting this article, but since my wiki time is limited these days, if you could contact another admin if I don't respond soon enough. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 13:53, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Biography

Thanks for the info, i will post her biography then. However, I am having problems uploading her picture (I try using the "Embedded file" button on the toolbar). Can you please tell me how to do it or tell me where can I find instructions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubenperales (talk • contribs) 19:24, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Hare Krsna

"Anyone who does not float in this inundation is most condemned. Such a person cannot be delivered for millions of kalpas.

PURPORT

The kalpa is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā (8.17): sahasra-yuga-paryantam ahar yad brahmaṇo viduḥ. One day of Brahmā is called a kalpa. A yuga, or mahā-yuga, consists of 4,320,000 years, and one thousand such mahā-yugas constitute one kalpa. The author of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta says that if one does not take advantage of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he cannot be delivered for millions of such kalpas." (Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Antya 3.255) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.132.184.135 (talk) 20:05, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Suresh Raina

Have you seen the edits by the Tamil guy on that article, and also, CSK, IPL etc?? :( YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll) 02:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Minimal internet access these days, just saw it, have warned him on the slobbering fanboy commentary, but it looks like he's already on the radar of the 3RR boards. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 04:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Starkey

Hey, dick, why did you delete the Starkey music page? If you did your duty for two seconds you would have seen he's released two major LP's and has had a number of write ups in magazines. Stop trolling wikipedia for pages to delete, fool child.

Drona

Hello respected editor,

I have started a section named "Why India-Intro reference was killed" at Drona to discuss your deletion of an important reference from Drona article, I intend to improve this article but I am unable to understand that why are you deleting this important reference/piece of information. I did not find violation of any wikipedia policies in it, may be you could help me understand it better. If it violates some policy then I am with you. Also your participation might encourage other editors to participate in this discussion as well. Kindly participate. --DawnOfTheBlood (talk) 06:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

CPI

Hello SpacemanSpiff,

I would kindly draw your attention to this article Communist Party of India (Marxist). It is under constant vandalism and user Viplovecomm is continuously reverting all the valuable edits provided with proper source by Deshabhakta. Please kindly look after this article its been almost three months or more that Viplovecomm attitude is unacceptable as if he trying to protect the article from disclosing valid and truthful information of what CPI(M) does with other political parties.--Kkm010as© 15:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hemant Karkare

Hi SpacemanSpiff. If you have a few spare moments, could you take a look at the Hemant Karkare article, particularly at the controversies section (you'll have to look in the history for that since I've protected a version that has no controversy). There is also a discussion on this article on my talk page and various threads on WP:RSN, WP:WQA, and WP:ANI. Your opinion would be helpful. Regards. --RegentsPark (talk) 23:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Post a new Pic

Hello, I want to change the display picture for pornsatr Rachel Starr, she is willing to provide me one picture (copyright free). As far as I can tell since I am a new user, I cannot do this, so I was wondering if I could send you the picture and you would uploaded for me,

Best Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubenperales (talk • contribs) 16:55, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

If she's emailing you the picture, then she needs to send a copyright release to Wikipedia. I'm not overly familiar with image copyrights, but you can find more info at WP:Donating copyrighted material. Sorry, I can't be more helpful now, but I'm too busy off-wiki. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 06:22, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
