quick hook on blocking pages?[edit]

HI,

I'm wondering what the criteria for accepting a page protection request is. Doesn't automagic acceptance of a request mean that one unhappy camper can thumb his/her nose at the world, at will? What if (for a hypothetical example....) a page is up for "Good Article" review, and someone doesn't want the topic to receive that staus...? Just wondering --Ling.Nut 13:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Forget my question. have a nice break. --Ling.Nut 14:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

America's Next Top Model[edit]

I notice that you changed the ANTM template, which I also wanted to do, but didn't for want of knowing how to unprotect. Some realitycrufter has reversed all your changes, resulting in many double-redirects which I am sure you also wanted to avoid. As deleted candidates' namespace is now always redirected to the program's main page, it would be useful if you restored your changes and reprotected it.

Thank you friend. I wish that you shall be back properly wiki-rested! And, with all the new ideas to make the Project still better. Have a nice time. --Bhadani 13:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions on record[edit]

  1. Which, according to you are important records in Batting??
  2. Why was the golden arm term removed. It is told by reputed cricket sources. If well establish cricket writers refer him by one word, it should be taken as such. Remember that Rahul Dravid or Sehwag is not referred by that term. Please note that I have already explained this in the talk section. Don't say that it gives an image as if he is a great bowler to those who don't know about cricket.

"Man with a golden arm" is a description. When he has broken more than one partnership, any bowler can be called with that term. I don't think that it is a NPOV problem. If the sentence had been "he is a bowler who always breaks partnership" that is a different story. THe description "with golden arm" is usually applied to "part time bowlers" who get wickets of well settled batsmen. The term is not used for the regular bowlers. You can read the old literature and will find that Srilanka's man with golden arm was De Silva (and Not Vaas or Murali) and Australians used that term for Mark Waugh (and not McGrath and Warne) and Mike Clarke [2](he has so far taken 8 wickets in 20 matches) and in Windies it will be Viv Richards and not Walsh. Hence this is just a FACT. Only if we tell that "Mr.Tendulkar is a bowler who breaks partnerships as soon as he is called to bowl" that will be not be a Neutral Point of View. You cannot ordinarily write this term (golden arm) on the article of Murali or Warne or Walsh. They are bowlers who can get any batsman out. I am sure that now the confusion is cleared.

Please read the line I have given "Inspite of his bowling average....." IF someone gets an impression that a person with just 37 wickets in 132 matches (that is one wicket every 8 innings) with a bowling average of over 40 "is a great bowler", it is the fault of the reader. If the term golden arm had been in the first stanza of the article without the other details (which very well tell that the person described is a part time bowler), that can cause some confusion. But in the present scenario, it is just a fact and has no NPOV problems.

Sachin tendulkar does not have a higher rate of taking wickets that break partnerships when you compare him with Muralitharan or Agarkar who are bowlers. If he has something like that, he will be termed as an allrounder and not a batsman with a golden arm. Is that clear. The NPOV issue arises only if we say that Sachin is a genuine test bowler or an allrounder (then only we can compare him with Courtney Walsh or Imran Khan. The term "golden arm" is not limited to ONLY ONE PLAYER (that is the person with maximum wickets or minimum average etc). It is a much general term

First of all, the description "golden arm" is not a rigid description that can be "proved" with statistics. As I have repeatedly told you, there is no "criteria" that exists to tell a player as "someone with a golden arm". The term is used for batsman who occasionally bowl and break partnerships. THis is the most I can explain. Other facts (including citations) have been already given by me.

It means that a batsman, who is not a regular bowler, occasionally breaks partnership. Sachin is definitely inferior to Kapil and Kumble at breaking partnership. That is a fact. But Kapil and Kumble are not called with the term because Kapil is an allrounder and Kumble a bowler. On the other hand, Sachin is better than Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, Sadagopan Ramesh, Kambli, Gavaskar etc at breaking partnership, and that is the reason cricket wrtiers (not me and you) have given this term to him. The same is true about Clarke, who is an inferior bowler compared to McGrath and Warne. Yet Warne and McGrath are not called as men with golden arm, because they are bowlers. On the other hand Clarke is better than, (for example) Hayden and Ponting and hence called with the term. Is this clear.

Sachin Tendulkar's Golden Arm[edit]

The single handed has been modified to another match. I am sure that every one agrees with the contribution in this match. Please don't ask a question as if no one else fielded in the match and whether he was the only person in the stadium. By the way, I am not able to understand as to your edits regarding Golden Arm. It is a term used by reputed Cricket Writers and it was well quoted. I had given more than one citation for that also. Why was that removed. Any sensible explanation ????. One explanation that is damn stupid is telling that "it may mislead those who don't know anything about cricket and they may think that he is a great bowler". Please don't give that explanation... PLEASE..... Rejecting a well known and well established fact with a hypothetical theory that a newbie may misunderstand seems very awkward. If you go like this, then when you say caught at mid wicket, some one new to cricket may think that the batsman was caught between the stumps and hence mid wicket violates NPOV etc. Similarly, a person who is new to cricket may think that Fine leg means Aiswarya Rai. If you think carefully, every (or most) term in cricket has another meaning outside cricket. Citing POV telling that those not knowing cricket my misunderstand is a very bad argument. If you have any other opinion tell us. Or else, please revert yourself. As a respect for you, I am not reverting this edit (Golden Arm) myself. Doctor BrunoTalk 14:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disclaimer

Hi everyone. If this is your first time filling out a survey, read this. To fill out a questionaire sheet, simply send me a post to my talk page, clearly stating your choice for each answer. For example: For Question 1, you might choose to place on the message, "Q1: A)" or "Question 1: Choice A." etc etc. It's up to you, as long as I get the general jist of what your choices are. You have around 1 week to return a survey sheet, but late entrie's will be accepted.

Remember however, your personal choices may be read whilst they are on my talk page. I will understand if you don't wish to answer some or all of the survey due to this. For this reason I have also placed an "Abstain" choice for each question. Try & answer truthfully, or don't answer at all if you can't.

However, your personal choices will not be expressed on the survey's outcome, instead it will be part of a larger finding, such as "60% of people eat chocolate, 25% never eat chocolate & 5% of people chose to abstain from answering..." I will never say, "90% of people eat chocolate, while only Fruityman said he didn't..." This would be an invasion of privacy. However, if a question has (Please explain) or (Please elaborate) as a choice, your specific answer may be used in the survey outcome, although your name will not be. If a question does not have (Please explain) as a question choice, but your intended choice is not represented on the choice list, then feel free to provide another choice which fits your description.

You're probably getting bored reading all of this so I'll wrap up. To see outcomes of the results, see my Polls subpage. Feel free to comment on anything! Feedback is always welcome. Most importantly, have fun. Topics will vary greatly & surveys may be resent out at later times to re-assess a consensus if survey numbers have grown significantly. If you know anyone who would be interested in these surveys, send them to my talk page or if you see this survey sheet, send your own answers in! Thanks. -- Spawn Man.

Hi Blnguyen. Despite my best efforts to stay out of your way, you and I must be working the same CSD#I4 folders today, because I keep loading images that you've already deleted.

Please refer your message Dont you think this comment was completely unneccesary? unless you claim to be a reincarnation. You are an administrator so you should be careful when you write messages to others. Those should be very neutral and to the point. I will request wikipedia to get neutral administrators to controvertial articles.

If you combine different words from different languages you will always find such similarity. If I get such request from some neutral administrator, whos user page doesnt have any relation to Hinduism I will surly comply to the request.

Thanks.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bodhidhamma (talk • contribs) .

Hi. just wanted some clarification regarding uploading photographs. A friend of mine visited Badami/Pattadakal/Aihole in Karnataka, India and took many photos of Badami Chalukya monuments there. He is not too interested in uploading his pictures on to Wikipedia but does not mind sending me the pictures to do the same. Is it ok for me to upload his photos, so long as I mention who took the photos and that i have full permission from him to upload it on to wiki?

Thank you[edit]

User:Indrancroos[edit]

This string of at least 20 edits really ticked me off [5]. He put images of fat people and feces on the Indian martial arts page. I feel blatantvandal tag was in order.Bakaman Bakatalk 03:56, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Now taht Haphar & Bhaisaab have moved off and Indrancroos is blocked, I guess I'll be working more on DYK's and the like and phasing out time on wiki for a bit. Wiki is almost like an MMORPG. Bakaman Bakatalk 04:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!!! :)[edit]

You've brightened my day, and you're the first person who noticed that I'm sticking fairly strictly to my "RfA mandate" -- quite astute, as I'd expect from you. :) Wiki-love, Xoloz 14:49, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool![edit]

Thanks for the Barnstar, 'Yen! I truly appreciate it! - 18:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you[edit]

Hi Blnguyen, thanks for the barnstar. You deserve one too but I'll wait 'till later and surprise you (or one of the other recipients will). It was such a good idea you had to put all of the image cats at csd that were past a week, you are very smart. When will you make a new userpage? See ya around, DVD+ R/W 23:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

trashing of my user page[edit]

User:Holywarrior (now User:Ikonoblast) has been putting up bogus warnings on User:Hkelkar's page here, here, here, and here. He gave me bogus warning here, here, and made personal attacks here. He also accused me of being a sock [6] , [7]. He also is harrasing me by accusing me of being subhash's sock [8]. This is the fourth such case made against myself, Hkelkar and Subhash_bose. He also vandalized my page with sock tags when I never used socks, and suggested my one throwaway account User:Bilbobaggins8 was a sock.Bakaman Bakatalk 15:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:....long overdue...[edit]

Hey thanks! Backlogs eh, so many of them... I'll keep having a go at them, though don't have as much time as before to do so- maybe this is why you're on wikibreak? I hope to see you back sometime. Thanks, Petros471 15:34, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
