Capt. Sunil Khokhar

Regarding my edits, the fact remains that notability was not claimed at all in any way in the article in queston for Capt. Sunil Khokhar. If someone were to simply write two sentences and say they received the Congressional Medal of Honor I would react the same way. Both are proud achievements, but notability requires more than hearsay: "A topic is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject and of each other." --BaseballDetective 12:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

You are simply wrong. Even following your links to WP:BIO it clearly states "The following criteria make it likely that sufficient reliable information is available about a given person. People who satisfy at least one of these criteria may merit their own Wikipedia articles, as there is likely to be a good deal of verifiable information available about them and a good deal of public interest in them." It does not say that it should be done in absence, but it in fact states that outside verifiability should be EASIER if someone falls in such catategory because there would be pubically accessible records. In this case there is (1) a link to a dead page and (2) a link to a bodybuilding competion in the name of the person. Nowhere near notable or verifiable. --BaseballDetective 12:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Again, the links that were removed were not arbitrary at all. In this case there is (1) a link to a dead page and (2) a link to a bodybuilding competion in the name of the person. Nowhere near notable or verifiable. But do I enjoy reading each excuse you're making for what is simply a poorly put together article that has no notability cliams whatsoever. --BaseballDetective 12:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Please go through this section [2]. It is regarding my block. You have really made a mistake.. and if it is intentional, I will have to take help from some other admin..

You have listed User:70.113.116.46 and User:70.113.94.221 as Sockpuppets of User:Sundaram7 where as I have clearly proved that they are sockpuppets of banned User:Hkelkar. But now they are removed... Who removed those?? If it was you, why dint you take any action on my account too..???? Please see point (3) on my arguments, if it is not convincing for you, I will try to give more proofs..

Pl. be careful about exercising editor's administrator's rights. I am reverting vandals. Followers of Pandurang Shashtri want to kill old deciples and yet glorify Pandurang Shashtri & Swadhyay Parivar. I think, you are from Ahmedabad and should know this.

swadhyayee 17:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Wikipedia policy can be interpreted anyway. When Hemendra and others remove contents, you don't find it content dispute and have no objection. Check what is the contribution of Hemendra as an editor? Has been here only to remove facts about Swadhyay Parivar. Be fair and honest Aksi, pl. don't be carried away in haste. swadhyayee 01:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

(Translating the message for others to read. It is in Gujarati - Aksi_great (talk) 13:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)) - Brother Aksi, we are working hard, why are you removing links to deshgujarat.com? Our content is original, our content is available on the site, we aren't harming anyone and are not earning anything from it. We are spending our own time to increase the presence of Gujarat on the net. You are a Gujarati on wikipedia and we expected some help from you. But why did you remove numerous links and destroy our hard work? A large amount of time goes in restoring the links. At least stop removing them. We work hard to gather content. At least appreciate the hard work that goes behind it. If you have felt wronged, then please tell us. We are always eager to help. Do you know that by seeing the deshgujarat links on wikipedia, people will appreciate the growth of Gujarat and be inspired to do new work? We request you to stop deleting the links and help us in this work using your knowledge and experience. Victory to Gujarat. Japan Pathak.

Akasi, I feel you to be un-reasonable.

Akasi, I think you are un-reasonable. Who removed the contents and links from Swadhyay Parivar? What's wrong in my writing on your talk page about vandal in response to your notice? Does Hemedra get merit for not approaching you on your talk page? What's your answer to Hemendra's contribution except removal of weblinks from Swadhyay Parivar? Do you call it regular editing and edit-war?

swadhyayee 14:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not seeing sense when you can't make out difference. swadhyayee 14:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it applicable to me only?

Is it applicable to me only? Have you noticed, Hemendra removed web-links? I think you have some problem with some people and you would abuse your admin powers and influence. swadhyayee 14:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you notice since when these web-links existed on article page? Check, they are not incorporated by me. Hope you will be fair. swadhyayee 14:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Swadhyay Parivar

I have been asked to revert some things that have been deleted from the article by a user. I went to his page and you have discussed with him the the 3 revert rule. I understand. But looking at what the latest editor did to the article he has in his 'cleanup' delted fact tags and not cited. Deleted entire sections especially any contorversy. Links there where there. A very POV oriented edit. I really don't want to get involved to the point of reading up on the subject to truly know whats 'real' and whats not. It seems blatant, but just enough not to be to not want to jump in. What do you think? Should it be revert back to pre major edit status and talk page only concensus major edits? I await your reply. Thanks. --Xiahou 22:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppet

Hello Aksi great,

I'm really sorry to bother you with that again, but it seems very likely that user Dutybirds is a sockpuppet of Hkelkar (see recent history of India-Israel relations). Yes, again. I think it will never end. But at least when he sprouts here and there it is worth mentionning... Bye. TwoHorned 15:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hindutva pseudoscience

There was clear consensus to delete. Do you suggest I re-AFD it, or are you going to delete it because it gets 0 google hits. Its complete dabcruft. Btw, take a page out of dab's book and block 64.111.114.14 (talk · contribs), Rantacker (talk · contribs), Lingamswamy (talk · contribs). Since he can get away with blocking any Hindu SPA account he sees, you might as well block these SPA Islamofascist trolls as well.Bakaman 14:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt action. It seems you are impartial on the matter, and I respect that. While assuming goof faith with all new accounts, I have practically given up on another prolific Hinduism contributor since Nobleeagle left, and Hkelkar's bakwaas. Dabcruft is a phenomena that I was witnessed for a while, characterized by Assumptions of bad faith, unilateral blocks and deletions against consensus, useless redirect creation, and namecalling. According to him I am a chatterbot from BJP headquarters or an angry ABCD (ABCD being American Born Confussed Desi).Bakaman 15:34, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I too would like to re-propose it for deletion. It should be obvious from my comments that I am not a sock of anybody, & have no particular relationship with those disputing over this and similar articles or with the ed. who gave the previous posting.--just a WP interested in NPOV.What are your suggestions for the most appropriate way to do it? I know I could ask for deletion review, but I think we might do better having a new discussion from the start. I am relying on your obvious impartiality. I do not think you closed in error, because it was indeed an illegitimate nomination.DGG 18:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Aksi, that comment was directed at me, and I believe he has a more jaundiced view of me than any user except those trolls that explicitly voted to get me banned. Whatever the Rajput scandal was (I was not an editor then), I am not a Rajput (nor involved in tat fiasco), neither is any other user that Dab is currently in conflict with or was with when he accused me of being a BJP mindslave. His inability to keep cool, abuse of admin powers (has used rollback multiple times in content disputes and blocked Sbhushan (talk · contribs)), and patronization of trolls (Bhaisaab, TerryJHo, Ikonoblast/Holywarrior, Hornplease, Timothy Usher) make all such "excuses" null and void.Bakaman 19:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I re-Afd'd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hindutva pseudoscience (2nd nomination).Bakaman 19:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

you may want to speedy-close that one as obvious bad faith, and maybe warn Bakaman that he is close to blockable disruption these days. thanks, dab (𒁳) 09:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I was unaware that AFD'ing something which nets 0 google hits, was trolling. Infact I AFD'd it because aksi suggested it as the course of action. Also it seems dbachmann is unaware of the little fiasco Tango (talk · contribs) got into after using veiled threats on established users. If anythings changes lately, I've merely been acting more like Dbachmann, hoping one day I can be a admin as well. If he regards my actions as "trolling", the logical conclusion is that he is woefully unaware of the obvious connotation of his own actions.Bakaman 16:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

RFCU Wiki Raja

Hello Aksi,
Can you please look into Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Wiki Raja‎ ? It seems like this user has evaded a 3 month block (imposed on Indrancroos (talk · contribs)) by using a Sockpuppet account(Wiki Raja (talk · contribs)) as well as an IP address (68.108.208.158 (talk · contribs)). Also, as you might recall from the previous RFCU, that, 3 or 4 of the suspected-sockpuppets became confirmed-sockpuppets of this user. Thanks - KNM ^Talk 13:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I was quite suspicious about this, as both have attacked me because of my ethnicity. Indrancroos called me an "Aryan subjugator" or something like that a while back, while Wiki Raja has questioned my "Tamilness". Both share the same DMK style Tamil nationalist worldview, claiming Tamil's are some super race separate from Indians (man I wish I had some Tamil-powers, perhaps eye of a tiger).Bakaman 15:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the prompt action, I hadnt really thought of that connection until about last week.Bakaman 17:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your investigation and action on this matter. Much appreciated. I just hope he doesn't come up with a new sock(s) to evade the block. Thanks, - KNM ^Talk 00:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

hemendra

My username is Hemendra.

I am talking about the notice for edit waring you have issued to me for reverting the changes on Swadhyay Parivar page by "Swadhyayee ???". But that is because that "SWadhyayee??" guy is not allowing me ( or for that matter any one else) to modify the page and remove baseless allegations from that page or trying to present NPOV. What I have done is merely re-positioned my edit which were undone by him. You are not looking at how many changes and reverts are done by him on the same page merely to propogate misinformation and preventing anyone from providing true information to the wikipedians.

Socks of User:Maleabroad

Aksi, I have heard of your sock-fighting prowess and hope you can help in dealing with the persistent sockpupeteer Maleabroad (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) who has been spamming and POV pushing various Hinduism related pages for months. He has been checkusered thrice but he usually just creates a couple of new accounts every afternoon (operating from University of Calgary). Orpheus, Buddhipriya and I have been reverting his edits and tagging his avatars for quite some time and recognize his signature themes, usernames and (copyvio) image uploads pretty quickly, but since none of us are admins cleaning up after him is all we can do. Admin Aldux has helped in blocking some of the previous socks, but it will be useful to have more admins on the case.
Recently we created a subpage here to keep track of new and active socks of the user in one place instead of 'spamming' each others page everyday. Can you please watchlist the page and block the detected/checkusered socks ? Thanks. Abecedare 02:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Maleabroad is a long term problem, perhaps your sock-cataching skills will be useful here as abecedare rightly points out.Bakaman 15:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject India Newsletter: Volume II, Issue 2 - March 2007

Project News Plagiarism by the Times of India: Recently it was noticed that the Times of India, the world's largest distribution daily had systematically plagiarised many of Wikipedia's biographies on members of the Indian cricket team among other cricketers on its website, sometimes with errors propagated (details). After discussion and discovery of further plagiarisms in other fields, the issue reached the admin noticeboard archived here. Jimbo's visit to India and the WikiCamp in Chennai: Jimbo recently visited India in late February and early March on wiki work. This included a trip to a WikiCamp in Chennai. The one day conference attracted 300 participants from across India and beyond dealt with issues facing wikis ([3]). It was widely covered by the press, eg The Hindu( [4]), which cited the efforts of Bhadani (edit count), Sundar (leadership on Tamil Wikipedia) and Ganeshk (Creation of Ganeshbot to create articles on Indian towns from census figures). Ganeshk himself travelled from California to attend the conference. Wikipedia Weekly 15: Wikipedia Weekly, a informal Wikipedians' program that purports to give "A weekly audio roundup of Wikipedia happenings with news, interviews and roundtable discussions" recently interviewed two prominent editors Rama's Arrow and Ragib(listen). The entire 34 minute interview was entirely about the world of Indian subcontinent wiki-happenings, and was the first episode which was not entirely dominated by discussion of wiki-politics and wiki-bureaucracy, with the host Witty lama praising the efficiency of the project and its proliferation of featured content. Rama's Arrow cited the team spirit, friendship and respect among project members in discussing its success and FA productivity, as well as discussing subcontinental wiki-conflict. Ragib talked also of his public campaign to raise awareness of the Bengali Wikipedia in his native Bangladesh, which has seen a 30-fold increase in article count over the past year. Arbitration: Three cases are either in progress or have recently ended. Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/India-Pakistan regarding the activities of various Indian and Pakistani editors on pages related to Indian subcontinent history topics, the national status of various pre-Partition figures, and edit-warring over Indic scripts and WikiProject tags was held and concluded in late February- early March. As a result of this, four Pakistani users, Siddiqui, Szhaider, Nadirali and Unre4L were all banned for one year for disruption via edit-warring and confrontationalism. Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Sathya Sai Baba 2 regarding a dispute over the article of the religious teacher closed in early March with four users indefinitely banned from the article. Currently, Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Freedom_skies is in the evidence phase. It is concerned with the editing of Freedom_skies, who edits articles on ancient Indian history, primarily civilisation articles such as Indian mathematics and related articles, as well as Buddhism articles such as Pusyamitra Sunga, as well as those pertaining to the propagation of Mahayana Buddhism to China such as Bodhidharma and Zen. What's New? Vijayanagara Empire Featured and Good Content: Eight articles: Vijayanagara Empire (nom), Delhi (nom), Pashtun people (nom), Nathu La (nom), Harbhajan Singh (nom), Hoysala architecture (nom), Harbhajan Singh (nom), Technopark, Kerala (nom) and Western Chalukya Empire (nom) were featured from our WikiProject recently, since our last edition. 'Dineshkannambadi has been a phenomenal force in the production of FAs recently, being responsible for three of these eight articles. He has totalled five FAs, all relating to Kannada history. Three portals: Portal:Hinduism (nom), Portal:West Bengal (nom) and Portal:Kerala (nom) were also featured. There were two additional GAs, Murali Kartik and Bhagat Singh.

CheckUser

Hi! Today I saw that you requested a CheckUser because my "editing patters were similar to" User:Hkelkar. I wonder from where did you see that, with no reversions/no vandalizing/no edit-warring on my part. There was only one thing that I did: disagree to dab. I wonder did you read this:

(a bare disagreement with the leaders of a wiki is not a valid motive).

But I assume good faith on your part. So if you happen to do some other checks on me, I request you to inform me from next time onwards. Cheers.--Scheibenzahl 18:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

No need to be sorry, but thanks anyway :)--Scheibenzahl 18:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree Scheibenzahl is probably not Hkelkar. He does however exhibit pattern similar to those that got Hkelkar banned in the first place. Needless to say, such behaviour is objectionable regardless of whether he is or is not a sock of anyone, but such disruptive behaviour as he may exhibit has to be considered a separate case (this would be so much easier, Scheibenzahl, if you could just edit constructively. If you did, nobody would even think of trying to figure out if you are a sock). dab (𒁳) 18:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Blocked me for sockpuppetry .. why!!

Hello Aksi_great, This is regarding the case Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Pens withdrawn. If you are a neutral administrator, you are responsible to answer on What is your real intenstion in pushing to block my user id [5]? How I can be a sockpuppet of somebody who are in different countries. All the sock-pupperty case under my id is invalid and they need to be removed. There is only one "SUNDARAM7". Please crosscheck the IP addresses.

If you are truthful, please point out any vandals, 3RR, abuses from my side and why you are not tracking the other users who are really involved in vandalism as explain in this page[6]. -- Sundaram7 06:48, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I have blocked you because you were engaged in sockpuppetry. The checkuser on your accounts returned a confirmed result. Confirm means no doubt. Hence I had blocked you. I don't know anything about different countries. I don't know how you came to know from which country the other account originated. - Aksi_great (talk) 11:47, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Aksi_great, first of all the administrator has first declined the case[7] and then you have forced him [8] to block the ids. and then he confirmed based on a fource from the administrator[9]. There is no reason put anywhere in the case explaining the reason for this change. What heppened in between??. So the credibility of this is questioned. Either you or User:Jpgordon are responsible to prove the credibility of this decision. For me the truth is truth. What I know is that there are many people involved in this case including people from different countries. So the reason for your sockpupperty is not legitimate. For example, The reason for putting the IP 59.160.207.14 [10] under name is not valid. The IP [11]already proved to be socketpuppet of User:Hkelkar. This is a real abuse to your admin power. This IP is from India and I am not in India now. Prove otherwise. Another example is that the user who raised the case user:truehindu is from middle east. See his whois info [12] --- Sundaram7 14:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps sundaram is not the only sockpuppeteer, and some accounts are not his. That still does not change the fact that the other accounts are socks and SPA's and leads to the conclusion there is either a larger scale sockpuppetry or coordination.Bakaman 23:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Aksi_great, I dont want to hear the arguments from somebody who made the vandals ( see the discussion page of User_talk:Fear_the_Fire) on my edits. I need to hear from you directly on this. If you are truthful bring evidences for this sockpuppeteer push [13]. If User:Jpgordon and User:Aksi_great didn't bring any evidence for the reason to block the IDs, I may have to conclude that User:Aksi_great and some of his supporting administrators with some users might be trying to block sevaral IDs which are against their POVs and interests. From dicussion page User_talk:Fear_the_Fire, it is clear that who is really the POV pusher and sockpuppets. --- Sundaram7 04:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I never forced Jpgordon to perform the checkuser. I just asked him why he declined the case. He thought over it again and decided to run the checkuser and gave a confirmed result. Another thing - 59.160.207.14 is not and has never been proved to be Hkelkar. Hkelkar also edits from USA. If you want to continue playing this game, please play it somewhere else, not on my talk page. - Aksi_great (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Please don't simplify others work as "GAME". I am trying my best to contribute to Wiki. I didn't hurt anybody personnally with my edits. But finally I am blocked by you. What is evidnce for you to put 59.160.207.14 as me, for example? You forced Jpgordon and gave wrong information on my edits[14]. In the patition you said article is constantly attacked by vandals. Where is the vandals from me? Why you are interested so much to block me and why you didnt care about the actual abuses, vandals and 3RRs on my edits as explained here User_talk:Fear_the_Fire? -- Sundaram7 09:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Emma Snowsill

If you're going to remove items from articles (i.e images), then at least make sure everything is left in a reasonable condition. Not like you did with Emma Snowsill. Davesmith33 14:17, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Atlas Strategic Picture

I was wondering what your reasoning was for deleting the picture of the band Atlas Strategic. Mikqick
