Help

Please help me, I have a case for arbitration brought against me and no one will tell me what I am being accused of. It's not fair; how am I supposed to arrange an appropriate defence if I don't know what I am being accused of? Check the request, it says: The case has been opened mainly to consider the behaviour of REX. What is that supposed to mean? What behaviour? There is no accuser; no one has complained about my behaviour. In all other arbitration cases there is a specific complaint except in mine. I suspect that there is bias here because once I accused an arbitrator of double standards and then suddenly there is an arbitration case against me with the purpose of considering my behaviour. When I asked them to clarify that, they didn't, two arbitrators didn't answer even though they had been editing articles since a posted the question on their talk pages, another effectively told me to leave her alone and another just repeated that my behaviour will be considered. What should I do? Could you please have a word with them? What is usually done in circumstances like this? REX 21:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikibio

Could you please add {{wikibio}} to your user page. Thanks. -JCarriker 21:14, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I experienced the same problem, I just thought I was missing some nuance of your page's code/programming/thing, which is why I asked you to. I'll replace the original cat with the one that works on your page. Thanks. -JCarriker 21:46, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I plan to work on your wikibio on Monday. Can you take a look at mine and Jmabel's? Thanks. -JCarriker 21:58, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comics RFA

I saw your personal standards for an admin are 600 edits and 3 months. Comics currently has only 286 edits and is applying for adminship. See Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Comics. freestylefrappe 22:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have now withdrawn my nomination as it appears that edit count is the first thing people look at. Comics 22:38, 16 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did not understand why you deleted my article on Ansem Reports. What exactly was the problem?

re: Adminship

Hi Andre, I've been really busy with school lately, so I haven't been contributing much the last couple of weeks. So at the moment I wouldn't be a good admin. Perhaps in a few months when I've been contributing regularly again, and I've got my edit count up some more. Thanks for asking though. Cheers! Jacoplane 16:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage redirect

Interesting question =). I just haven't really found anything to say about myself yet. I got real big into redirects when I first joined, so I redirected my own user page so my user-wiki wouldn't appear red anymore. ~ Hibana 01:59, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Andrevan, thanks for your support on my RFA. I very much appreciate it. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. See you around! thames 18:28, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi Andre, I would like you to express your opinion, which I respect so much in the talk page of Miguel Piñero. A user insists in deleting information which I believe is essencial to the article and seems to have a disrepectful atitute. Tony the Marine 22:29, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Thank you Andre for expressing yourself on the Miguel Piñero issue. The dispute ended in friendly terms between Dali and myself. Take care Tony the Marine 07:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My RFA

Thank you for your support! I'm withdrawing, because the general feeling was generally that I needed more experience, but hope someone will nominate me once a bit of time has gone by. The Land 18:40, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Interflop

Sorry about deleting all the content on the Interflop page. In this particular case, it wasn't a duplicate, there was no previous legitimate version, I didn't know enough about the subject to substitute appropriate content or to determine whether there was any hope for the page. It was clear, however, that all the content was inappropriate. HistoryBA 00:45, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rajput and moderator.

Wikipedia admins, Gothean and other muslim users have hijacked wikipedia. Here is an example . A muslim user Raja asserted that I have some kind of faith insecurity. I let this sit on wiki for a few days. This self appointed moderator Goethean was on snooze. In the interim some user called me a moron also. Still Goethean was on snooze.

Then after two days I replied to Raja with my side and Goethean deleted my response to raja's assertion.

How is the censorship legal? Please block Gothean from rajput website because he is biased.

As I have said before it is your religious leaders and your religion who is afraid to see other religions practiced in there domain even in this modern age. Who are you trying to fool here? This is no madarsa that you can brainwash somebody into beleiving your doctrines.

Rajput

Andre,

I have tried to discuss on the talk page because some muslim users were constantly reverting my edits on rajput page. Then I requested the page be protected and also asked these users to provide evidence for there edits. It has been close to 72 hours and they have chosen to not provide any evidence. So what should be assumed in such a circumstance?

Also James Tod did more then 20 years of research when he was living in Rajasthan in 1800's and then published the momentous "Annals and Antiquities of ancient Rajasthan". This is the only book which covers in great detail the history of rajputs. Before him and since him such a comprehensive book has not been published.

Other books I cited were by Professor Dashratha Sharma took into account quite a few stone writings of various chauhan kings throughout there dominion and also took into account numismatics and the history works written in native Indian languages by the authors of that era. e.g Prithvirajvijay, Hammir MahaKavya etc.

Third book is by an existing professor at Jodhpur university who spent a lot of time researching the Indian works on the life of Hammir and then published has work in English.

These authors are not known to westerners who any way tend to rely more on muslim historians who tend to be very biased towards there kings.

On the rajput discussion page I pointed out how biased muslim historians are even today. MJ Akbar who is a very educated man and a journalist from India published a book recently called "shades of swords" in which he lists the wars of muslim kings but completely glosses over the severe defeats Ghori suffered in Gujarat in 1178 at Kayadara and later at Taraori in Haryana in 1191. And there are many more omissions.

Reason we have so much acrimony because muslims have been fed one version of the history by there historians in which there kings are shown as superhumans and rajput kings were shown as pushovers. Reality is far too different as many historians have pointed out. I presented a complete bibliography which they have managed to delete also. (I am in the process of collecting the publishers etc for these books in the bibliography. I am travelling and am away from my library but I will gather all the info ).

Star Control II

Star Control II for the 3DO is my favorite gaming experience of all time and I instantly respect any fan. Good lad. :) Smoove K 05:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm living the gamer's dream? I'm living my own dream! ;) Although I do have every system from Famicom to PSP, minus the Sega Mark III, Laseractive, Pico, CD-I, and Game.com. I also run a hobby/quasi-bank transfer service where I pick up almost any gaming item and send it to those overseas at cost plus shipping. Let me know if you ever need anything. :)

I find modern and classic games and systems in various nearby stores based on requests. If you are looking for any Japanese game item, I can probably get it cheaply. Just mail me; the address is on my site.

Thanks and a question or two

Thanks for the welcome :))) I may end up plaguing you with questions now . . .

I replied to your welcome on my talk page, but now I am wondering what the convention is. Many wikipedians seem to reply to each other on each other's talk pages, some continue a dialogue on whichever talk page it began on, some do both. Is there an unofficial standard?

Also I have noticed some users favour adding new sections at the bottom of a talk page and some at the top, with the result that some talk pages are bit chaotic. Am I right to assume the standard is to add to the bottom, seeing that's what the New Section link does? GhostGirl 07:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You, or any Wikipedia user, can contribute your suggestions and comments to the /Workshop page of any active arbitration case. Comments on evidence or proposals can help in understanding the import of evidence and in refining proposals. Proposed principles, findings of fact, or remedies may be listed on /Proposed decision and form part of the final decision. Fred Bauder 18:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Andre thanks for the note. You know the thing that bothered me was the accusations of hero-worship and such, plus that "I'm the only one who's right attitude". However, those things do happen. You know what? Now he asks me for help and I'm gald to do so because that's the Wiki way and the way it should be. I may be hard as a rock but, I'm a softy inside.
