RFA

Thanks for asking. What I usually do is page through the user's contributions in Wikipedia and Wikipedia_talk namespaces. These days, there have been a lot of nominations with a substantial lack of those (other than AFD votes, but that hardly counts for experience in my view). I believe an Admin should have reasonable experience with a couple of WikiProcesses, because admins are often called upon to adjudicate them, and because it's part of "common knowledge" I expect of established users. I realize that my criterion for adminship is more stringent than most (indeed, many people use the criterion "he seems friendly enough"), but that's really not a problem; when I oppose someone, my point is to advise them of things that could be improved; my point is not that the nomination must fail. I do hope that if/when a candidate that I opposed passes, he can still take the advice to heart and thereby improve himself (and indeed, I've gotten some positive responses along those lines). HTH!

India edits on German WP

Hi Nicholas, I see you are also on German WP for ""India edits". Since my German is better than my English in the meantime, I'd like to offer you my help for any major edits or anything else. ;-)

Please copy my original post when replying on my user discussion. Thx. --Predator capitalism 05:58, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Nichalp, thanks a ton for the heads up. I knew it was before 1945 pics, but some how wrongly calculated it as 50 years :-P Thanks again. --Gurubrahma 11:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. Tintin 14:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Emblem

Sure. Will do as time permits. But give me a better, high-res base image, preferably tif. --rgds. Miljoshi | talk 14:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

External link policy question

Hi, I had a question about policy for external links. My undergrad school is BUET, and I have created/edited the article a lot. Currently, the article links to the official univ website. However, there are alumni sites of the univ, and I would like to add those alumni sites to the page. Normally, this wouldn't have been a question to ask you, but the thing is, I am the maintainer of one of those alumni websites [1]. So, I'm confused whether there is a conflict of interest in my adding this alumni site to the university page. I'd like to hear your opinion on that. The alumni site is non-commercial, FYI. Thanks. --Ragib 05:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

PS: A belated merry christmas (I hope you had a great one), and a happy new year. --Ragib 05:48, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Had missed this out

Hi, just noticed a couple of your articles Flora and fauna of Chennai and Flora and fauna of Mumbai. Great idea but too bad it hasnt grown much. Look forward to more on that front. Shyamal 09:49, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

E-mail (Re:your vote at my RfA)

I am not sure what you mean. I have my e-mail address publicly displayed on my user page. Yes, I am displaying it in an obfuscated form to prevent it from being collected by spammers. - Mike Rosoft 10:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
