Oh, no, not again
Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):
Autoblock of 137.132.3.11 lifted or expired.
Request handled by: Netsnipe ► 11:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC) |}
As an aside, whatever happened to anon-only IP-blocks? We've had a general IP block on 137.132.3.* for a while now, but it works okay because the registered users can still edit. I'll try and raise our IT folks to see if they can get XPP working, though.
Anon-only IP blocks are targeted at editors who haven't logged in, while the autoblocker kicks in on a vandal's last known IP address to stop them from creating more accounts and logging out and logging back in with another account. -- Netsnipe ► 11:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- Makes sense, I guess ... grumble, grumble. Stupid vandals.
- Thanks a million for the autoblocklift, though! Gaurav 12:10, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Rebooting WikiProject Fictional series
Hello...WikiProject Fictional series is in the process of getting a new start by attracting task forces. I am currently getting things set up for this and other project building areas. Please stop by and take a look. Your suggestions will be appreciated. - LA @ 01:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Re: Afzul Khan → Afzal Khan
I have moved the article you requested to Afzal Khan (general) - this solves both the spelling issue you presented as well as the need to disambiguation from Afzal Khan (actor). JPG-GR (talk) 23:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Regarding Pune
hi gaurav, thanks for your note. the change by rockstar cannot be in good faith, all he did was delete a section as i have noted in the edit summary. changes by vaibhav are fine, as long as english is proper, and appropriate citations are given atleast for the intro paragraph. thanks --ti 16:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- i would have to disagree on rockstar's edits. deleting content without a comment, justification, discussion on the talk page; all of these more often than not indicate editors wishing to revise history, wiping out efforts of previous editors who might have moved on from the page. these changes get buried without anyone noticing, and the whole section is virtually rewritten again thanks to one delete that slipped in. (see my discussion on talk:pune regarding the transport section for an example.) ofcourse, you can take this discussion to talk:pune and see if anyone agrees.
- again the comments by vaibhavforjoy are quite alright to be incorporated into the article. its only that t
A question
Hey Gaurav,
Needless to mention that I'm a newbie. I was really impressed by your contribution to this site.
The question isn't a productive one for either of us or shall I say it is in a way. I could write for improvement on articles on Maharashtra for no less than 16hrs/day.
Q: Do you get paid for this work? OR What are the benefits, monetary or otherwise, one could have by a great contribution like yours?
The answer can't be recognition as all this can and will be disappeared or changed or updated, probably before I die. It is true that change is constant and inevitable but creation that lasts the longest is more powerful. Thinking of writing an article or contributing so much that lasts for 100 years after I die (like you did) but need more out of it for the time I live
I could do a lot of this if I get anything out of it. Rather this is what I love to do. But I also love money. I don't want to do it as a selfless service. I'd better have my own blog to document my thought process that no one could edit. I know wikipedia is an encyclopedia, needs existing knowledge and isn't a book about undocumented inventions, theories or simply ideas but I'm equally good at this. I've thoroughly studied all the articles from Getting started onwards (still a lot to learn on formatting). I was learning some Wikipedia's own rule for using bold and italic. I loved the fundas.
IF there is no answer then I probably have this feeling of 'giving back to the society and getting contentment by the selfless work' post 65yrs of age.
You seem to be an honest and helpful person. So hopefully I'll have an honest and helpful answer.
