Trivandrum article

I lived in Triavndrum for 14 years, and I very well know that there are theatres that screen X-rated movies in Triavndrum..why did you edit my post? could you please give a valid reason for this? (Ishana mathen (talk) 12:09, 15 May 2011 (UTC))

Is that all they screen? I doubt it (and Cinema halls in Thiruvananthapuram backs me up). In that case singling out the pornographic films is unnecessary and reeks of prudishness. the wub "?!" 12:20, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Trivandrum article

Ok then.. but refer to the article on the South Indian pornographic actress Shakeela, if you doubt that such kind of movies are being produced in South Indian Languages.. (Ishana mathen (talk) 12:56, 15 May 2011 (UTC))

Hi Ishana mathen, That's old times buddy. Now Keralites don't really like to watch pornographic movies in theaters;).

After the censor rules were tightened in Malayalam, the B-Grade movie industry got declined in Kerala. Also people provoked battles against proliferation of porn movies in Kerala. It was started by some activists of a firebrand organization, which walked into Lata theatre in Moovatupuzha, near Kochi, and threw country bombs and put keel oil on the screen showing a soft-porn movie!!! It was not a joke. See this report on The Hindu newspaper. Also see the article Shakeela.

And you said that there are theatres that screen X-rated movies in Triavndrum. Not only in Trivandrum it's everywhere in the world. That doesn't make all theaters screen pornographic movies.

Sorry for answering him on your talk page The wub :). I only want to keep the continuity of the discussion. Cheers.. BINOY ^Talk 15:38, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

???

I never made that edit, I have no interest in that subject and its imposible that someone else made that edit from this computer because this computer was not working at that time. I never make any edits in english Wikipedia anyway.

It is probably because my proxy ID is changed every few days, so it is a coincidence. I never made that edit and you should be careful when you show such insulting edits to people, luckly I am young so I dont care, but some older people might be shocked by primitive language that you referenced me to. --77.243.20.201 (talk) 11:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

That's fair enough, we're all aware that IP addresses change from time to time. Sorry you had to see that message, but unfortunately there's no other way to try and reach the person who did make the edit.

If you want to avoid such confusion in future, you can create an account. It's easy, doesn't require any personal information and lets you use a few other features too if you decide to edit in future. the wub "?!" 13:40, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Happy birthday, the wub!

Manchester wikimeets

Hi The wub, thanks for coming to the last Manchester wikimeet - it was good to meet you there. Best of luck with the new position! If you're interested in coming to the next Manchester wikimeet, it will be on 17 September - more info at meta:Meetup/Manchester. Please sign up if you're coming, and also please sign up on the notification list if you want me to nag you about future Manchester meets. :-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:30, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Mike. Organising them on Meta seems like a good plan. I may or may not make it to the September one, will have to see. the wub "?!" 11:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Quran miracle

Hey wub, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quran miracle and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Quran miracle. Users Quran Information and Humtv quack loudly. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 19:38, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I was looking for the previous AfD before deleting. Cheers for whacking it. the wub "?!" 19:43, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

you deleted my edit

why did you do this?

Because I'm no expert, but I'm fairly certain the Kylfings were not dinosaurs. [1] the wub "?!" 23:22, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

A cookie for you!

Thanks for the reply at the help desk! Cerejota (talk) 22:47, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! And no problem, I was in IRC when it all blew up so found out what was going on pretty quickly. the wub "?!" 11:40, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Enterprise Forum

Note the username - blatant violation and signal that the account is promotional. Calabe1992 (talk) 13:40, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

So what? That doesn't automatically make the article invalid. the wub "?!" 13:42, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Loksatta Newspaper

Hi,

We are the brand team members of the Indian Express Newspapers, and have been updating our brand profiles on wiki.

The profile updation seem to revert back.

Kindly help.

Thanks Darshan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.197.76.171 (talk) 14:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

That's deliberate. Wikipedia articles have to cover their subjects with a neutral point of view, and are not intended as promotional pieces (which your edits resemble). the wub "?!" 14:31, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree, and respect the sanctity.

Please suggest how to update the information which currently is misleading the reader.

Thanks Darshan 203.197.76.171 (talk) 14:37, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Take a look at Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial for more advice. the wub "?!" 14:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Oops!

Yeah, you're right - thanks! Grutness...wha? 00:28, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

No problem, someone in IRC pointed it out to me. the wub "?!" 00:39, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello!

hello, nice to meet you in person at the meetup earlier! The Land (talk) 20:34, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Likewise! Hope to see you again at the next one :) the wub "?!" 19:09, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

DNB initiation

Following up on our conversation heading into London, I have started drafting a guide at

Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography/Walkthrough

Feedback will be welcome; it will have other sections.

I hope to get a meetup page for Cambridge on 8 October posted today. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:17, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Charles, I'll try following it through later. the wub "?!" 12:04, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

My first attempt: John Joseph Griffin. Seems quite an interesting chap, I found some more sources so will be revisiting it tomorrow. the wub "?!" 16:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Quick reminder of Saturday's wikimeet

Hi Pete, this is just a quick reminder about the Manchester wikimeet this Saturday (17th September). Hope you can still make it. Mike Peel (talk) 23:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry Mike, I can't make it to this one. Maybe next time. the wub "?!" 15:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Joe Thornton Facts

Why do you keep erasing and threatening to ban me for adding interesting and informative facts about the NHL hockey player Joe Thornton. i thought the whole purpose of Wikipedia was to enlighten the people of facts and stats and life achievements of various people. you should be ashamed of yourself.
