Regarding the Pritam edit

Hi. I have replied to your statement about the plagiarism section in the talk page for Pritam. Pfonilonitappa (talk) 18:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletions

You appear to be a bit confused about how contesting a proposed deletion works. From WP:PROD: "If anyone, including the article's creator, removes a prod tag from an article for any reason, do not put it back". Catchpole (talk) 17:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Replied. in Catchpoles talk page as, "I am neither confused, nor ignorant of the rule. But it seems that you have not read the edit summaries. May be you can refer to this discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#.22Unrealiable_prodders.22. Thanks." Shovon (talk) 17:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Bangla WP

Care to take a look at the Bangla wikipediatoo? We have very few editors from WB there, and definitely need more people to contribute. --Ragib (talk) 07:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

congratulation for joining bengali wikipedia and keen on contributing.....Jayantanth (talk) 10:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

You are very much welcome to translate articles from en to bn wiki. Feel free to start articles there. The Bangla keyboard is built in, or you can use a tool like Avro for typing. --Ragib (talk) 15:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

AceRemoteProject page

Dear Shovon76, AceRemoteProject page was intended to be linked to the List of PM software page - it was not an advertisement, but one more pm software - different from the others in some features and common in the generally available features throughout the other soft of this category like MS Project, @task and so on. The additional communication features are valuable for project managers (as an active contributor to couple of the IT pm communities I know it). Please do not be so fast to delete the article, when I start it again - it takes time for me to finish it, but I will be trying to be prompt. thanks, Slava.myra Slava.myra (talk) 12:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

My response is here. Shovon (talk) 09:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the response, Shovon. and for the advice. I'll follow it, and the Wikipedia writing guideline to my best when I try again. Slava.myra (talk) 11:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Hwlwighati

Hi, Shovon. I've responded to your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hwlwighati. I think the existence of the town can now be established (though not the name used as the article's title), but you're probably in a better position than I to confirm that the "Shilghati" in the Google results is the place the article refers to. Let me know what you think. Deor (talk) 15:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


Your expert opinion wanted on Fan death

Hi, Shovon. Many thanks for your kind message asking me to check on this page. I checked it, and yes, I completely agree with you. Such a thing is not possible. I have neither come across such a death (despite having conducted more than 20,000 autopsies so far), nor have met anyone who came across such a death. An extensive search of literature failed to retrieve even a single case of a fan death. The logic advanced for this phenomenon is completely bogus. In my opinion, a good urban legend should at least sound credible. This one does not even sound like one.

Thanks for your confidence reposed in me.

Warm regards

Bharatiya Janata Party

I recently tried to revert some unsourced POV from the Bharatiya Janata Party article. As the edit history is long and various parts of the article are unsourced - I took a step back and reverted to the last editor who is making unsourced edits. I do not know how to help this page, but if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I will watch the page to see the progression of these recent edits. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 15:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

This might be ...

... interesting to you. Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Ronosen. A whole laundry list of related users found via checkuser to be linked closely, and likely to be the same person. --Ragib (talk) 19:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, one of the users listed in the checkuser openly admitted to be using open proxies for editing wikipedia. Most likely they're using zombie machines as proxies. Such machines are blocked at sight by WP. --Ragib (talk) 19:50, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I won't vandalise

Hello, Shovon. I shall not vandalise. Please tell Pritam not to steal music, though. Please remove that freaky sock puppet tag you have on my account. Why is wikipedia "The encyclopedia that anyone can edit", when Jimbo Wales himself says that nobody has the inherent right to edit wikipedia? Why isn't there an * in front of wikipedia's tagline? Can you explain this? If you can't, don't patroll wikipedia. lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfonilonitappa (talk • contribs) 17:51, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


I didnot vandalise Rajus community. there is nothing vandalising in my text. There are few instances of Rajus(Kshatriyas) with North and Central royal families. Please see the link. http://www.uq.net.au/~zzhsoszy/ips/v/vizianagram.html sorry I forgot to attach the above link in the wiki :-( —Preceding unsigned comment added by Indianprithvi (talk • contribs) 19:25, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

yeah

Well, my username is just a series of random keystrokes. Anyway, it is not really an easy task to edit wikipedia articles. I have previously tried to do it legitimately. I have tried to change information where it seems to be incorrect, giving sources, but the "custodians" of those articles have always reverted, not even listening to whatever someone has to say. I know this is for the good, but i mean, how do you guys operate? Do you patroll random articles looking for signs of edits, or have you guys divided your patrolling duty? Exactly how many wikipedia custodians are there? Have you ever vandalised? Have you ever been blocked? Come on, don't tell me you've never had some fun with messing around with wikipedia.

Michael Ferreira

Great work. Add a reference for 1st amateur Billiards player to cross 1000 points, and you got a DYK for sure (you have to nominate it here under today's date: Template talk:Did you know); please remember to nominate this after adding the ref. I'll try to add a few sentences, if I can. Cheers. --GDibyendu (talk) 15:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Michael Ferreira

Updated DYK query On 21 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Michael Ferreira, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Sino-Indian War

Don't keep reverting the edit I made. The statement I edited is POV Colliver55 (talk) 09:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Great power

Thanks for your message on the Great power discussion page. I hope you know by now that Chanakya has a history of pushing a patriotic Indian POV. I've read much of his edits on Indian military related articles and I am honestly pretty saddened by the state of these articles (in terms of neutrality, in terms of rubbish sources). Hopefully, you can improve upon these articles when you have time. Thanks. Nirvana888 (talk) 15:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Indian hypocrites

as a indian you have shown that you are pathetically biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.236.217 (talk) 16:13, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

My dear friend, I do not have to be certified by you. My edit history speaks for itself. Regarding your edits, probably the same cannot be said. Best of luck. Shovon (talk) 16:19, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Labrador Retriever

Well, I have brought it up on the talk page, but his reply was "I dislike British english bias on Wikipedia". I don't really know what to do here. I had the page protected from someone who did this earlier, then this guy showed up. I'm not sure if this is important enouhg to being it up on the admin's noticeboard. --PlasmaTwa2 18:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, I reported him at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism‎. He has recieved his final warning. I'm at the 3RR right now and will be unable to revert his vandalism for the rest of today, though if he does it again I will report him again. --PlasmaTwa2 19:23, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I only came across the page when I was looking up potential dogs. Didn't find the spelling problems until after I edited the page to include the countries in the infobox. On a side note, both CPO Pieman and 68.77.27.63 have been blocked for 55 hours due to vandalism against the Labrador Retriever page. --PlasmaTwa2 19:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Accusations

please stop vandalising my page and accusing me of being a sock puppet you have no proof and keep your bigoted indian veiws in the mandir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.69.230 (talk) 19:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Binayak Sen

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

You have quite a lot of guts, my dear IP editor from England. First, you fill up the article with references from all the biased sources and when some one cleans this up, you have the audacity to leave a warning message! BTW, I had restored the article to a good version only. Oh, and buy a dictionary, so that you get to understand the meaning of different words. Shovon (talk) 06:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

POV

hi there i have noticed that you have placed pathetic claims without sources on azad kashmir without consulting anyone if you carry on your beloved jammu and kashmir will also be edited without your consensus kapish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 19:49, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

What is so "azaad" about the Azad Kashmir? The edits made by you lack citations, are poor in grammar and smack of pro-Paki point of view. First of all, try to get rid of these and then accuse others of introducing biased material. Btw, can you construct a single, error free sentence in English? Oh, you know, in Sanskrit, Kapish means king of the apes! Lol! Shovon (talk) 20:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Pro paki lol coming from a hindu who believe in kali mata who eats kids in sick cult type partys get a life hindu azad kashmir is the REAL NAME and has been for 61 years i dont know why you hindus are making a big issue of this now and again your hypocrasy your claims of POK are un sourced so unless you get a life and read properly dont bother vandalising pakistani article or you will get this on your Rundia articles like jammu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 20:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Whats so azaad look at the news headlines kid and see what your democratic hindu dominating country is gettign upto in jammu azad kashmir is a billion times better of than the jail that is jammu and kashmir (IOK) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 20:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/7585612.stm why dont you ask them how free jammu and kashmir(Indian occupied Kashmir) is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 20:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

See, my friend, if I want, I can also say may unflattering things about your religion, your country and so on. But I won't. That's simply because I did not have that kind of upbringing. People of Indian administered (or occupied, if that suits you) J&K had the equal rights as any other Indian (they were even more equal than the others thanks to Article 370). For example, although a Kashmiri Muslim can buy a piece of land or start a business in other parts of India, I can't do the same in Kashmir. Why do you choose to remain silent about two other parts of the state, Jammu and Ladakh? Why was India required to provide humanitarian aid and relief to the Azad(!) Kashmir after the earth quake? Personally, I believe, India should be better off without having traitor Kashmiris amidst us. Btw, you have not mentioned what are your sources. Shovon (talk) 20:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

as i recall you called me a "Paki" oh the irony —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 20:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Another thing you hindu cry over a few shops ask the children murdered by brave indian troops and raped women who are brutalised over NOTHING what they feel take your shop sob theory elsewhere its nothing compared to what oppressed muslims feel in Indian occupied Kashmir cant your hear the screams of freedom my freind or is the indian media blocking them recently? P.S you and your nationalist indian chum started to edit without consensus and sources then when its changed back to its unbiased stable state you moan of in justice what is this some indian movie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 21:05, 29 August 2008 (UTC) please be more quick with your response next time took you ages just to write some anti kashmiri sentence you indians change colour like Chameleons first kashmir is integral then traitors ha ha even when india sent in terrorists into balouchistan is still loved my balouch brothers they were just brainwashed by RAW agents see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.70.25 (talk) 21:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

sock

86.153.130.184 is a pro pakistani vandalizing articles. another user claimed he is a sock of a user called Nangparbat. please see [1] and [2]. help please. he is inserting pakistani argument everywhere n remove indian ones. he write administered near kashmir (india) n removes for pakistan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.111.31.145 (talk) 18:05, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


Shovon76

for the past few days i left wikipedia as the war edits subsided on mountain in pakistan which overwhemingly stated they were disputed while indian mountains in kashmir didnt even mention this to make this worse the editors were ALL indians and repeatedly called me paki just as you said paki i snapped DONT EVER CALL ME PAKI AGAIN i dont care what it means in india indians also use POK but thats it only the INDIANS USE IT dont generalize things on articles and make it as the world does the reason i reverted your chums kashmir cloud edits is because he first tried to vandalize azad kashmir and failed then northern areas and he started to tag occupied all over it then he gave birth to POK pages this was the point were i decided anyone who backed this troll would also be a vandal themselves you supported his claims without no consensus so i snapped you seem like a nice guy i hope you understand oh yes sorry for calling you facist hindu bjp maybe you could apologize for calling me a paki nazi? good day 86.151.123.126 (talk) 21:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, the irony is that, in the place where you stay, I would also be called a Paki! Isn't it? In any case please be rest assured that, I did not call you any racist names. I understand, how it may feel, because, I, myself, have been subjected to discrimination based on my language. I am sorry to have hurt your feelings.
As for the nazi part, I did not call you that. I just wanted to point out that as Hitler had projected a kind of devilish image of the Jews among his countrymen, similarly, the Hinduvta parties will be able to lure away more and more Indians to their folds as long as there are more terrorist attacks, bomb blasts etc. Hope I make my self clear.
Anyway, I have decided to take a break from the Kashmir related articles, just to keep my BP under control. Lol. :-) Thanks for your message. Btw, how can Kapish be a muslim name? Shovon (talk) 21:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

my last message

i hope in the future me and you can agree on something and i promise never to use bjp hindu facist words again in any of my future edits i will also try to neutral if you notice i only edit when editors like kashmir cloud change articles suddenly by adding strange terms like pok before that i never even looked at wikipedia its just when sudden changes are made like these it angers me kapish is not a name i learnt that from gangster movie like the godfather lol drink water and reduce sodium intake to decrease bp i have a bp machine at home trust me shovon wikipedia can bring the worst out in people well you wont here from me again i assure you edit all you want im stressing over some wikipedia article which allows anyone to edit lol im a fool there are better things in life like fat free cream (im random sorry) 86.151.123.126 (talk) 21:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC) you can delete this of you want its taking allot of space on your talke page

Re:Kashmir related topics

Just to say thanks for your note on my talk page. No hard feelings :-), curiously enough I too was thinking of avoiding Kashmir related topics. Regards Pahari Sahib 00:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

A beating

Hello Shovon, I see you've taken quite a beating dealing with some trolls regarding the Kashmir issue. As a piece of advice, just don't entertain (feed) trolls because this only increases our pressure. Who cares, let them call us "Hindu facist" or "faggot" or whatever because that only reflects on the person making those remarks, and needless to say, their country. Such actions speak a thousand words and it's foolhardy for us to waste our time and energy feeding such trolls. I avoided naming this section "Kashmir" fearing you wouldn't give a damn! Have this cookie in the mean time. Take care.  S3000  ☎ 08:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

i applaud shovon for apologizing when he called me Paki he didnt understand what it meant in the naiton in which i reside while editors like kashmircloud are given a green light when they use F*** o** s3000 has always played fiddle to kashmircloud even when he abuses other editors like pahari sahib 86.162.67.217 (talk) 12:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Kashmir war

Hello Shovon, I seem to have reached an understanding with our IP friend and he's agreed to refrain from editing. I'm not sure how sincere he is, only time will tell. Since you were one of us directly involved in this mess, I just felt you should know this milestone. I understand that you're very affected by this rough episode and I deeply regret it. Lets put that behind and let's move on. Thanks and have a good day.  S3000  ☎ 08:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

SAVE POK ARTICLE FROM DELETION

this article has been posted for deletion..i have made the following appeal there:

if you can improve this article or if you believe that the article can be improved by removing the edit ban(say, exampple: semiprotect) and if you also concur that pok not equal to ajk, please help in saving this article from deleters with nationalistic (pakistani)/ religious(islamist?) motives for POK article removal(example: User:paharisahib is pakistani)..please save the POKarticle...Kashmircloud (talk) 10:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, till now, I have no reason to believe that Pahari Sahib edits with a pro-Pakistani agenda. I consider him to be an asset for Wikipedia. Regarding the POK article, I saw the afd even before you probably saw it, but have not voiced my support or objection against deletion. Shovon (talk) 07:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Shovon

i dont no why you sent me that however i changed jammu and kashmir because its clearly POV "so called azad" lol just like kashmir cloud vandalises PAK he needs his own medicine 86.156.214.251 (talk) 17:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

beware of sock puppet

Please have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.156.214.251 this is very similar to banned user: nangparbat. this guy is canvassing for deletion of the consensus arrived line of "pak (also known as pok) is a disputed region of" to an unbalanced line stating "pak is adisputed region of" at this article-POK..a user named pahari sahib accepts only his demands and ignores other user opinions in making unilateral controversial edits..Since, i was told not to canvass, how come that ip address is free to do the same and how come pahari sahib does not warn that user for canvassing. As a friend, i am asking you to help me to understand this nonsense double standards and vandalism of indian articles, so that i can tackle this nuisance better!!Kashmircloud (talk) 23:15, 15 September 2008 (UTC) double standards lol you first spread your POK filth on PAK article then you move onto editors and cry double standards its pathetic i will continue to add indian occupied kashmir on jammu and kashmir untill kashmircloud the biased editor removes POK from the PAK article end off 86.156.211.13 (talk) 17:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
