KK article now tabloid

Does Katrina Kaif still look like an encyclopedia article to you? Achitnis (talk) 10:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not much into Bollywood, but I can safely say that the things like Mini-Skirt Issue and the "Salman's Slap" don't deserve entire sections dedicated to them :) utcursch | talk 10:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the issue. The whole article is now a tabloid page, much of the stuff is basically advertisement material for the linked-to sites, and I can't even bear reading this stuff anymore. Do I just roll back to before he started editing, give him a warning on his talk page? He doesn't appear to be the kind to understand, though. Achitnis (talk) 18:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You can just start fixing the article with links to WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP in the summaries. utcursch | talk 07:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I spent an hour trying to rework the article, but in the end gave up and just removed the stuff that was clearly out of place, unsourced, non-credibly sourced or just gushy fanboy stuff. Will add WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP references as well on the talk page. Achitnis (talk) 09:36, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Oh snap, the DEA is an admin

ASIMO I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which I'm very glad to say was successful at 81/7/0. Some of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer came out to support or oppose me and the kind words from all the editors has really given me confidence to be an admin and I can't wait to start. I will take the advice of the opposes and not jump into any content disputes immediately. As well, I will try to add more content myself. Anyways, in thanks for participating in my RfA, here's your very own personal humanoid robot. Enjoy! --ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk - Contribs) 14:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

what is going on?

Kindly check the article Singh. User:GauthamSingh User:MrKeshan User:Rebel49 seem to me are same user or sock puppets. Besides, the ref. given (ref no. 2)[1] is not a reliable source (it is more like a blog). The name singh was used by only two communities, Rajputs and Sikhs, until 1947.

something weird is going on wiki, something whimsical.Ajjay (talk) 17:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The article is on my watchlist; I'll keep a watch. utcursch | talk 09:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear Utcursch, I agree with ajjay about the source used as being highly unreliable. I just rv the Singh article and also feel these are sock puppets. Also Harrybabbar does not seem to want to change his ways as is seen in his reply to your blocking him, on his talk page.

I want to sincerely thank you for helping the Singh article, and bringing it up to this stage where it can one day become a decent article with some more work.

Editing of "Sebastian Champappilly"

I would like to thank you for adding a photograph and a doing a few much needed editing on that page.I am fairly new to adding contents in wikipedia and hence did not know how to add an image into a page.Thanks to your effort That article is looking much better now.

Regards, HolyFist (talk) 05:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

After having seen your excellent editing of the "Sebastian Champappilly" article I was wondering, if it isnt too much trouble, could you please edit one of my other recent article.It is an indian Law related article titled Christian Law of Divorce in India Please give me suggestions on how to improve my future articles. Hoping for a swift reply, HolyFist (talk) 05:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reverts. seresin ( ¡? ) 17:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

Dear Utcursch,

Someone put up a concern on my page, which I reverted, that I may be a sockpuppet of Ajjay. Can't this be resolved by simply seeing my IP address? Gorkhali (talk) 02:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The user seems to be a sock himself/herself. I've dropped a warning on the person's talk page. utcursch | talk 03:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

USER: Ajjay (Vandalism)

Hi Utcursch, this user Ajjay is a vandal, his fundamentalist pov needs careful examination, thanks, Dave Green

Please see dispute resolution. Ajjay has a pro-Sikhism viewpoint, but he is certainly not a vandal. utcursch | talk 12:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks utcursh. I had actually decided to leave wiki, but on second thoughts i decided to forget the insults thrown at me and remain on wiki. Afterall wiki cannot afford to lose a gem like me, considering there are so few (hehe).Thanks for your kind remarks.Ajjay (talk) 12:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I think you and 90.196.3.244 ("Dave Green") should go for formal dispute resolution, if discussions don't help solve the disputes between you two. Editing Wikipedia can be frustrating sometimes, when you meet users who don't share your viewpoing. Neither of you should take these things too seriously :) utcursch | talk 12:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thanks for the star. Avalon (talk) 06:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

User talk:90.196.3.244

Apologies for that. I'll check more thoroughly next time. Rudget. 13:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

AmritDhari isn't necessarily Khalsa or (KeshDhari), an AmritDhari has taken an oath to observe the 5k's plus other things like avoiding meat eating, alcohol etc. beyond the requirements of a Khalsa Sikh.

An Udasi, on the other hand does not necessarily have to observe the 5ks as their Guru (son of Guru Nanak, is considered the true heir to Nanak)

Block notice

Hi,

you blocked User:38.116.192.98, but you didn't leave a notice on the user's talk page - is that intended? --B. Wolterding (talk) 15:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I forgot. :) utcursch | talk 03:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Singh again

I am really sorry to keep bothering you Utcursch. It seems Gauthamsingh is a sockpuppet of Harrybabbar (just a hunch). They keep telling me to provide references which I have always done in the past (most of the references were provided by yours truly), yet they provide nothing. It seems the Singh article is going to get a bit messy after all that work.

Thanks again for your help on the article.
