Hi Kupdung,
My intention was not for the Indus International Page to get deleted but I wanted someone to take notice and make the neccessary changes so that the article matches wikipedia standards. I'm glad you took notice. Thanks so much Meera devine (talk) 05:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Kupdung, In autumn last year you blocked User 75.80.134.142 for repeated miscategorisation. The user is still making unconstructive edits (see April 2013 on the Talk Page) and probably needs blocking again. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 16:30, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung. I see that you're an online ambassador. I'm the Professor for Aaron Frank's environmental law class, and while you're not signed up for my course, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at any or all of the articles my students are working on. One of the aspects of this sort of course is that students understand that they are putting their work out before the wikipedia community for review. In the past, there hasn't been that much activity on their pages as they were working on them. I was hoping that if you were willing, you could take a look. If not, no problem.
The students now have draft articles in mainspace and are starting to review each other's articles, and they could also use a preliminary review by an experienced Wikipedian in this area. If you get a chance, ideally sometime before Thursday or so, please take a look at the following list of articles and leave feedback on the talk page:

Having gratefully leaned on your support in re Elgar, I wonder if I can interest you in the FAC for Gustav Holst. Remarks above about RL calls noted, but if you can find time and inclination to look in it I shall be v. grateful. Quite understand if not, natch. Tim riley (talk) 17:14, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I boldly changed the threshold in response to discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Unbundle autopatrolled from admin rights package, particularly the thread "The wrong question". I tend to agree that a centralised discussion of current community standards on this point would be useful, but no-one seems sufficiently interested to set one up.

Hi Kudpung! I may call on you for some backup/advice concerning this issue. See also this, and most recently this. Hopefully, the shenanigans will stop after my latest warning, but just in case... Best, Voceditenore (talk) 13:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, I saw you weigh in over at Kwami's talk page on the issue of the renaming of articles about Indigenous people in Canada. Skookum! really is correct here and needs some help on the individual articles that have the move discussions going on. If there are people who understand about these issue of naming indigenous groups, yourself included, it would be helpful for them to weigh in and help explain policy a bit. I've already voted and it's kind of being a Skookum1 v Kwami debate now... Montanabw(talk) 17:17, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Saw your bio bit about WWII radar. You might be interested in Russell and Sigurd Varian, an article I've been working on some and would like to eventually put up for GA. These guys invented the klystron and did a lot of work on radar during WWII, then founded Varian Associates, one of the first firms to take root in Silicon Valley.. One of their widows helped their niece build up a nice horse ranch, which is how I came across them (with me, everything eventually traces back to WikiProject Equine, heh...) Anyway, I've been looking for a collaborator/partner in crime on that article ever since User:Churn and change bailed from WP. Any help or even just constructive critiques would be welcomed.

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
Hi Kudpung. First I want to say thanks for hanging in there and sticking with the project. It's through the dedication of editors such as yourself that Wikipedia has become what it is today. I appreciate the devotion you have shown to the project. I know you had a difficult RfA and I'm guessing that's what lead you to start the RfA reform stuff. I also know you've been subjected to quite a bit of unjustified hostility from new users/IPs because of your help in the admin areas. So I wanted to thank you for hanging in there and sticking with the project.
I just read Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2013-05-13/News and notes and it seems likely that I have been looking at the WMF through rose-colored glasses. I shall make a concerted effort to take in view points contrary to my own with regards to the WMF.
You've kept me on my toes, Kudpung, and I appreciate that. It's important to me to see things how they truly are and not give too much weight to one side or the other. You've had a positive influence on me and I wanted to let you know about it. All the best. 64.40.54.136 (talk) 02:39, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Dear Kudpung !!! Can you please help and nominate me for a administrator? Best wishes Aftab Banoori 09:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aftabbanoori (talk • contribs)
Hi.. Kudpung..Thanks for autopatrolled and rollback rights. Rollback right given automatically by you will boost my confidence a lot :). I have read WP:Rollback several time but was bit hesitant to ask for it, as I always check the difference between revisions and in that case TW was already there. Now, you have given me, so I will use it with a lot of responsibility. Thanks once again. --Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 01:46, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Kudpung, thank you for removing the "speedy deletion" tag from Robert Isaacson and for seeing the substance in my newborn article. Unfortunately, the User who appended the "speedy deletion" tag has now restored it. (How is that allowed?) Would you mind weighing in on the deletion discussion?

Hi, I'm very sorry to bother you but I wonder if you could offer me some help/advice, please? I've been working on an article, which I have just moved to main space, Pitfour estate - I had also done some work on the articles about the lairds of the estate. I notice there is an article on the German Wikipedia for Pitfour House. I'm ashamed to admit my German is non existent but using Google translate, I think some of the German article might be incorrect; for instance, I think the German article says the estate was acquired in 1800 by James Ferguson (1735-1820) but these dates are for the third laird. The estate was actually purchased by his grandfather in 1700. It does become confusing as the first three lairds were all James Ferguson, followed by three named George Ferguson!
I'm not sure how I've landed on your page about this, perhaps as you're listed as able to translate from German to English? Again, I'm sorry to bother you but I'm not sure how to get corrections done on the German Wikipedia - of course it could be that the Google translation is just making nonsense of it.....

Pitfour House was a mansion north of the village of Old Deer in Aberdeenshire (Scotland). The mansion was demolished in 1926. Of Pitfour Estate, Saplinbrae House, Pitfour Lake and parts of the park with the "Temple of Theseus," a folly, still exist. The monastery ruin Deer Abbey was also on the property, which was one of he largest in Scotland. James Ferguson (1735-1820) acquired the Pitfour Estate around 1800 and together with his nephew George Ferguson (1786-1867), an admiral, developed the park and farms up to around 1850. The family had become wealthy through the West Indian sugar business. The manor house was probably built in 1812 on the site of an older building with the numerous other buiding being constructed during the following years. Most of the numerous other buildings also likely to be incurred in subsequent years. As an architect, John Smith (1781-1852) was was active from 1822 to 1831 while work to plant the garden probably goes back to William Sawrey Gilpin (1762-1843). The project for a canal (St Fergus and Ugie North Canal), operated by Admiral Ferguson seemed to encounter technical difficulties (some sections apparently maintained) and was finally abandoned with the construction of the railway in 1840. The son of Admiral Ferguson, George Arthur Ferguson (1835-1924), inherited the estate in 1876. The area encompassed 8100 hectares and Pitfour Estate was repeatedly offered unsuccessfully for sale at auction. All documents related to Pitfour Estate and the Ferguson family were lost following the demolition of the mansion. Buildings The manor house (1812, with alterations in 1820) was built in the neo classic style using granite from from Aberdeenshire. The facades were strict and showed little architectural embellishment while the park facing the south side of the lake was glazed with large windows. Joined to the building was a terraced garden in a formal style with a central fountain. The building was demolished in 1926. Other buildings included stables and farm buildings (1826), a riding school, a racecourse, a private chapel with a low Gothic tower, some cottages that formed a model village and served as accommodation for the employees. The centre of the park formed an artificially dammed lake, The Lake, now the 20 hectare Pitfour Lake, was constructed in 1816 with three small islands, with a small scale replica of the Athenian Temple of Theseus (existing) at the northwest end. A boat house in the gothic style exists as a ruin. The entrance to the park consisted of a memorial gates with two columns, and wasdedicated to Prime Minister Pitt and the Scottish Minister Robert Dundas. In addition, the Fergusons had erected an observatory and the monastery ruins Deer Abbey lying to the south were converted to a kitchen garden, and later to a mausoleum of which the entrance still exists. |
Hi, just a reminder (because some people haven't seen the geonotice) that the fifth Oxford Meetup is this Sunday. Are you able to attend? It would be great if you could come. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey, Kudpung! Sorry to meddle with your things, but I couldn't resist: I saw your post about your JS issues on Scottywong's talk page and took a look. On your vector.js page, it looked like you were using HTML-style comment syntax (i.e. <!-- ... -->
) to insert comments. That isn't the comment syntax that Javascript uses, though; Javascript uses the same comment syntax that Java uses, where single-line comments begin with //
and multi-line or partial-line comments are enclosed by /*
and */
. As I said, I couldn't resist going into your .js page and replacing the HTML comments with the equivalent JS comments (here's the diff); I'm really sorry if that's out of line. Let me know if that fixes the problem (you might have to bypass your browser cache to see any changes). Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:11, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
