About Build Bright UniversitySir Nicholas <Shirt58 bows and tugs forelock, as base colonial convict type cannot afford a hat to doff>, it would appear to me somewhat odd that there are seven different universities of the same name in Cambodia. Is there some central coordinating body analogous to the University of California system of universities? --Shirt58 (talk) 10:07, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
User Kondi ipblock exemptionI just noticed that User:Kondi has an ipblock exemption but you didn't log the rights. The reason "trusted user" seems inadequate for these rights. Can you give more details? Was this discussed with a CU? Thanks.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 04:58, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello!Hi, how are you doing? Tony Yew (talk) 07:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC) Thanks Nick, I am looking forward to this, for me, a new adventure. I do hope you will be there for all of us. (User talk:FreddieKevinDeSouza) —Preceding undated comment added 02:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC) Terrible Asian pride articleI nominated it for speedy deletion and other users removed it saying it was not a candidate and suggested I add it to the "Articles for Deletion" page but when I did a 5 year old previous deletion with no consensus popped up with a comment by you saying it needed to be re-written and that some time should be granted, but 5 years later that page is still a total joke. What now? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2012_December_7 Thanks. BillyTFried (talk) 02:42, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Your edit to Arendra ModiIn this edit[1] you revert my edit using twinkle without supplying an edit summary or a reason for the reversion. That is not an ok way to revert good faith edits, especially not edits that have been explained in the editsummary of the one who made them. Twinkle reversions are for obvious vandalism. Recersion of any edit that is not obvious vandalism requires that at least you provide a reason in the editsummary, and at best that you start a discussion at the talk page. I was not impressed with your post to my talkpage suggesting that I am not allowed to edit the article without prior discussion. I am. And everyone is. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 14:28, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
RE: Najib RazakHi there, I noticed that you reverted my edits on the Najib Razak article apparently because of FRINGE and BLP, and to move the discussion to TALK. There actually exists a discussion about this. In fact recently the french courts are investigating the bribery claims plus the upcoming elections meant that there's been new reports about the cases in the various news outlets, which means it is no longer FRINGE. (And the new links mean the old deadlinks can be replaced). Its hard to talk about it on TALK when I am having a onesided conversation as no one else wants to discuss there. Also I've tried to cover that section objectively as I only stated the facts and the official denials by government, so I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Zhanzhao (talk) 04:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Request for commentHi Nick, I was wondering if you could have a look at Talk:Karindalam#Persistent disruptive editing. Thanks --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:32, 19 April 2013 (UTC) Charles Xiaolin WangI posted this subject for deletion review. The subject is notable. It was not an appropriate candidate for speedy deletion. If it was too promotional it should have been fixed, but at the very least and Articles for Deletion discussion should have taken place. If you agree and want to restore it and/or take it to AfD I am happy to delete my nom. But I think this should be sorted out quickly because the subject is part of timely issues that are in the news. Thanks. Candleabracadabra (talk) 21:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC) Kindly do talk backFraming the act of incinerating pilgrims inside a train as merely "Train Burning" is not objective nor is it neutral to those who died. Come on, why are you doing this!? Mr T(Talk?) 11:53, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
also this edit was never discussed in the article talk. His edits worry me. While you're at it, take a look at this one too[3]. He included "others" (plural) although that seems to be a personal synthesis of one person (i.e. Lyla Bavadam) source. What do you think? Mr T(Talk?) 07:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Did you know RegentsPark wrote this about you:
I could have posted a reply but I thought you're best equipped to respond to this implicit allegation that you're resisting any and every proposal out of hand simply because they do not fit with your preconceived idea of what the article should look like, that's what is being said. I would take this as a serious allegation if I were you. cheers . Mr T(Talk?) 15:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Clean Energy Finance CorporationHi, An editor has asked that this article be restored at WP:AWNB#Clean Energy Finance Corporation. From looking at the deleted article's history, I tend to agree - it wasn't high quality, but covers an important and notable topic and should be easy to fix up. Would you mind restoring the article? Regards, Nick-D (talk) 00:26, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
why you deleted the page of Charles Xiaolin Wang?Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington: I just find out that you have deleted the page of Charles Xiaolin Wang. I am a reporter from china, and very interested in this man. It seems that he has been offline for two weeks at his weibo, a china version twitter. Hope you can response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.126.193.6 (talk) 09:57, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
ApologyI would like to apologize to you for saying certain things somewhere which may have offended you (if you saw my words). I have removed the offensive words. Sometimes, in passionate discussions (about which one feels strongly about), one forgets to be civil and courteous. Please forgive me. I will try not to repeat my mistake.

Darkness Shines needs somethingDS recently started a WP:RM at Talk:2002 Gujarat violence where he wanted to move the page to Anti- Muslim pogrom in Gujarat 2002 Then seeing how it was getting "oppose" responses, he unilaterally created Anti- Muslim pogroms in India with the content:
You know what's worse? This page was autopatrolled, Darkness has auto-patrolled rights. Should we do something? Mr T(Talk?) 11:49, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
This is the discussion. DS is doing this for a long time. Mr T(Talk?) 07:16, 27 May 2013 (UTC) Notification/notification removed/ Although I am sure you already know. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:01, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Opinion?Was 2002 Gujarat violence irrefutably a "pogrom"? Darkness Shines is again, based on a handful of sources, arguing that Gujarat Government was complicit in 2002 Gujarat Violence. Your comment needed here. Mr T(Talk?) 16:25, 8 June 2013 (UTC) Your reverthere is contrary to a ruling by ARBCOM. Please self revert. Darkness Shines (talk) 09:06, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
What's going on, DS? I can also add you there. Is that page designed for reports and counter-reports by involved users? I am studying this ArbComm thing as I am new to it. neo (talk) 09:56, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Aam Aadmi PartyHi, Can you please check the recent talk on page for Aam Aadmi Party. 2 editors (One is an Admin-Qwrxyian and I'm not sure about the other-Sitush) are very set about what can and cannot go onto the page, and are saying they will revert all my edits to the page on sight. I don't want to take this to a notice board as I am now seeing that such boards are battlegrounds.TheWikiIndian (talk) 14:13, 4 September 2013 (UTC) Books and Bytes: The Wikipedia Library NewsletterVolume 1, Issue 1, October 2013 by The Interior (talk · contribs), Ocaasi (talk · contribs) Greetings Wikipedia Library members!

Now I have improved the related articles and lists with systematic findings based on published reliable sources from history and political science. However, two of them are currently submitted to Afds (by a Chinese Wikipedian who in the past has personally attacked me for my contribution to politics-related articles in Chinese Wikipedia). Your comments are welcome and appreciated: (1) Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_dictatorships (2)Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_modern_dictators_in_Latin_America. Thanks.--(comparingChinese Wikipedia vs Baidu Baike by hanteng) 08:51, 6 April 2014 (UTC) Talk:Ahmedabad/GA2Hi. I've opened a GAR on the Ahmedabad article for which you are a main contributor. I have concerns that it does not quite meet current GA criteria regarding sourcing and MoS. Following the guidelines at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment, I'm letting you know in case you're interested in helping to resolve the concerns, though you are under no obligation to do anything.

Happy Birthday Sir Nicholashi Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, Peer review & document improvement request about "(Indian) Copyright Act, 1957" at en wikisourceIn last couple of days, at english language wikisource project, I have worked quite a bit on (Indian) Copyright Act, 1957 to update the same to include changes of copyright amendment act 2012. Please note on most of internet as of now Copyright Act, 1957 may not be uptodate with 2012 amendments, and en wikisource would be one of those few (and also free) places where people can refer the updated document, Provided that it is peer reviewed for accuracy.

Grants:IEG/Wikipedia likes Galactic Exploration for Posterity 2015Dear User:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, People suggested that I consult with fellow Wikipedians to get feedback and help to improve my idea about "As an unparalleled way to raise awareness of the Wikimedia projects, I propose to create a tremendous media opportunity presented by launching Wikipedia via space travel." I plan to use the WikiOffline and OpenZIM content library as the basis of the content launched into outer space. Please see the idea at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Wikipedia_likes_Galactic_Exploration_for_Posterity_2015. Please post your suggestions on the talk page and please feel free to edit the idea and join the project. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. I appreciate it.

Translations are available. I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information, and specifically to the OTRS system. As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy. An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so. The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information by way of the OTRS system and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals. If you wish to stop receiving these notices, you may remove yourself from this list. Please note that doing so will not prevent you from losing OTRS rights and access after the 31 December 2015 deadline. Thank you, Posted by the MediaWiki message delivery, 06:23, 22 December 2015 (UTC) • Please help translate to your language • Help I learned a new wordNo idea if you're still around and reading this, but coming across Cephalophore made me think of you. 173.228.123.101 (talk) 06:10, 16 January 2016 (UTC) |
