Dear Cometstyles,
Wishing you a happy new year, and very best wishes for 2009. Whether we were friends or not in the past year, I hope 2009 will be better for us both.
Kind regards,

You have removed the Copyright Vio tags from both of these articles stating in the Monica Bedi that it does not pertain to the article. Here is the quote from http://m.pressmart.net/Home.aspx?event=Dcchennai&dt=15092008&page=007_019.
- "Monica Bedi, her 21-day during her 21-day appearance on the TV reality show Bigg Boss, may have gone to town claiming she never married gangster Abu Salem, but this newspaper has in its possession documents which show she not only married Salem for a mehr of $5,000, but even wrote very filmi letters to him while both were in Portuguese jails.
- In fact, Bedi very clearly tells the police, according to the Portuguese police report, that they should not touch the $5,000 as the money is her “marriage money” and is dear to her.
- Bedi, along with Salem, was arrested in Lisbon in September 2002 for possessing fake passports and documents. Bedi, in her statement given to the Portuguese police, has said that the $5,000 found in her home by them was her husband’s wedding present (mehr) when they contracted the religious marriage, as is a custom in Islam.
- The Portuguese police investigation report states: “She met her husband about four years ago (in 2000) in Dubai. They took to living together, and later, in November 2000, she married him in the US, where they resided for some time.” The report adds: “From the Americas they went to Dubai again, and from there to Switzerland after they received a threat from the Indian mafia.” What could be damning for Bedi is the part of the report that says, “She is aware that her husband had, in time, connections to some elements of that mafia, and they had reported him to the Dubai police authorities.” While Bedi has claimed several times that she was not in touch with Salem after he was arrested in Portugal in 2002, documents clearly show this was not the case.
- Bedi used to meet Salem in jail every week and wrote mushy letters to him, some running into 10 pages, and some of which are in the possession of this newspaper. The letters clearly show that Bedi was married to Salem and had also converted to Islam of her own accord."
Here is the article text.

Please help me understand why the two are not related. If you have made a mistake just let me know and undo your changes. If I have missed something, just drop me a note. Thanks and good day... ttonyb1 (talk) 23:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, I never added those, I just reverted to a version of the article which seemed most appropriate, you should take this copyvio notice and paste it on that person's talkpage who actually added that info or you could revert it to a version which you agree with....--Cometstyles 01:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- So I am now totally confused.
- I originally added the copyright vio tag.
- You removed it stating it did not relate to the article.
- Is this correct? If so, why did you remove it? ttonyb1 (talk) 02:38, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Because I looked at the link and realised that though most of the words were copied from that link, they were not directly copied, but whoever added it changed it around a bit so that it would fit in, not sure whats wrong since I believe you can take stuff from other sites and reword it but you must also cite that link which is exactly what he did, so what was wrong, not that I care but because this is getting a bit irritating for me, I hate being Templated for no reason...--Cometstyles 10:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Given your reason, the fact this very limited "rewording" is not adequate enough to remove the relationship to the original article, and the lack of inline citing as a quotation, I will reinstate the copy vio tags for both.
- If this is irritating for you, my apologies; however, I have tried to make this as painless as possible for all involved. BTW - you were not being Templated, there was nothing directed at you. (I humbly suggest you reread the Don't template the regulars, my interpretation of that article is that it applies to individual actions, not article issues. The CopyVio tag was directed at the article and certainly not you. Best of all to you and enjoy... ttonyb1 (talk) 15:27, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I edited the "FireSteel" page to better reflect the use of firesteel since several points are incorrect or not accurate. Why did you change it back?
On this: Our timewasting chum appealed. The appeal was silly. Why remove it? Instead, leave it and let an unrelated admin see it and reject it (or, conceivably, accept it). -- Hoary (talk) 15:01, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- He was trolling, just like every other edit he made ...--Cometstyles 19:32, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Wonder if you know how it would be possible to use this picture on Wikipedia?

I blocked him, but I'm not sure why you think it's a spambot? -- lucasbfr talk 13:02, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- well generally adding multiple links like this from your first edit is usually done by forum spambots to advertise a certain website which you can see in the last edit. I'll pass this on to the Meta spam admins and ask for their opinion, thanks :) ..--Cometstyles 13:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point, I missed that one. The other edits looked misguided but manual. We'll see if this becomes a trend :) Thx! -- lucasbfr talk 13:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, don't you read the discussion? I and my partner are growing that draft to publish it in the Wikipedia, why you blanked it?? It seems you make vandalism. Anak Kalimantan (talk) 06:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Uhm you and your friends have been doing this on multiple wikis on wikimedia. I have been tracking this since late November last year. You guys hijack a wiki and then create this silly propagandist article which believe me fails Notabilty, so please stop this or there is a chance your site will get blacklisted and all of your contributions deleted and accounts blocked.--Cometstyles 06:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, it so difficult to talk to a person like you. We are just growing the draft to show to YOU that they are fact!!! If you don't believe it, check it out in the search engine!!! Anak Kalimantan (talk) 06:19, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There is nothing in the 'search engine". All I can find is the article you created on map-bms wikipedia including this vandalism by your socks, these blocks and deletions by me on the Nambian Wikipedia, these deletions by a steward on the Xuwiki. Please stop vandalising or you will get banned !! ...--Cometstyles 06:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Huh, i don't think so, is that your trick to make my page blocked?? I already input the blog sources and they are really fact!!! I know you don't live in Jakarta, so you cannot tell it right!!! We don't make vandalism, but try to grow the draft. In simple english wikipedia, we try to make a draft in our userpage, but they were erased by the administrator. So we try do in here. I don't make some vandalism right if i'm growing the drafts in my page??? Anak Kalimantan (talk) 06:39, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
