... or panic madly and freak out?
Have you come here to rant at me? It is water off a duck's back.

Per your RX request

As requested [1], time limited.

Please Help me

On the page Kashmir.

Best regards

Come back strong. —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 15:01, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ditto. ditto. ditto. - Rayabhari (talk) 14:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yep. I just saw you had posted at AN and thought you were back. I hope you are. You're among a core group of editors one can typically count on--knows how to write, can separate wheat from chaff, cares about the goals of the project. Well. All the best to you, Sitush, whatever you decide. Drmies (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What the wise doctor said.
Honestly, I think it would be good for you to take a wikibreak to take care of the serious off-wiki harassment without being distracted by the on-wiki niggles that are part of editing on wikipedia (and that you are otherwise very well equipped to deal with). But if you think you'll be allowed to simply retire, think again. :-)
Email, if we can be any help. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 03:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, folks. I can't handle the mess here any more. It is actually making me feel pretty ill now. Treat Ancoats railway station as a last gift from me. - Sitush (talk) 19:30, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, all. One last thing, though: if anyone has any useful advice to offer regarding how to retrieve my domain name, which is being deactivated as per this thread due to IAC's malicious accusation of 419 scamming, then my Wikipedia email link is still operative because it uses GMail. I think I need legal advice because neither ICANN nor the domain registrar will deal with me and the registrar's reseller (Easily Ltd) are refusing to reply to my emails. I'm really in trouble unless I can resolve this issue. - Sitush (talk) 09:27, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • a) Should I email (using this form) or call them (in their Washington, US number) and see if they give any response? b) The journalist who made a news story once, have you contacted them? It might be another story for them. c) I can get a lawyer's opinion (Indian lawyer, using "vakilsearch" etc website, that's all I can afford financially). Do you want to do it? Id you do, I'll give these a try ASAP. --Tito☸Dutta 12:35, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Can you not transfer the domain name away from Easily to someone more sensible? I often use JustTheName. Eric Corbett 12:37, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Easily have replied to my latest email. Perhaps someone has had a word with them. I'll see what happens next. - Sitush (talk) 18:49, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've had similar problems in the past. The bottom line is that most ISPs don't care about the validity of the complaints, they just don't want the hassle of the complaints. Eric Corbett 19:34, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not good but understandable Sitush. I hope you come back but messing up your life is not what Wikipedia should be about. The sad truth is that without people like you around, entire parts of Wikipedia will sink into some sort of POV hell hole at the cost of its credibility. --regentspark (comment) 15:04, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • We've had our differences, but I still hold you in the highest respect. I hope to goodness that you come back; till then the Indic spaces will have to get by with lesser mortals such as myself. Vaya con dios, my friend. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:18, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wishing you all the best. Farewell for now in fondness. Fylbecatulous talk 03:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good luck Sitush and may you have success in all you do. Hopefully one day you will return and resume your excellent work. Cassiantotalk 18:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sitush, you have been very helpful and flown the flag for those who believe article improvement comes before everything else and always should do. That said, I can't blame you for retiring given the circumstances. Take it easy and enjoy what you do. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:49, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sitush, you've been an amazing support and I've appreciated all your kind nudges. I guess my brain had not computed (or didn't want to) that it was a full-out retirement, but you absolutely need to take care of yourself. If there's anything I can do, let me know.--CaroleHenson (talk) 10:27, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't retire...just take a break. But should your decision be to stay retired...I will accept it, although I for one (along with many others it appears) don't like it one bit. Hey...I know we have had butted heads at times, but I also know how much work you put into this site. Whether you return or not, your work will live on here...but I encourage you to return. Why leave for good? Nothing that has happened has been your fault. Any mistakes you might have made can be overlooked or just seen as they are...mistakes. But for the most part you are one of the great Wikipedians. Don't let being insulted drive you away. You do know that is what your opponents want? They want you to be so offended you turn your back on your own work. Don't give them that satisfaction. Take some time and return. You know you have great support, even from your "so called" critics!--Mark Miller (talk) 03:49, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OH NO!

Hi sitush, Just saw your retirement thing here! , had reworked on the article sri aurobindo. if possible only when you feel you can peak back in once, can you have a look at it before i push it to GA nomination again ? Shrikanthv (talk) 13:21, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I fondly want to remind you that, you are not permitted to retire! How you can retire without our permission? Hope ,you will return soon. Rayabhari (talk) 15:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you!

Hope you will accept the offer of a cup of tea and return. Rayabhari (talk) 15:17, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

I hope this turns out to be a wikibreak only, and that you return in the near future, refreshed and ready to continue. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 18:50, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Endorsement request

Hi Sitush!

I've applied to be an online ambassador for Wikipedia educational classes like Women, Art and Culture. Would you mind if I used you for an endorsement at this noticeboard?

Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 20:14, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Case opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Landmark Worldwide. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Landmark Worldwide/Evidence. Please add your evidence by October 30, 2014, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Landmark Worldwide/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

You custom email

Why is not it still working now? Did they not they (ICANN/your domain service provider) re-enable it? a quick look-up showed 0 A record, 0 MX record for the domain. --Tito☸Dutta 08:27, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think any good would come from a public discussion about this, except possibly for an announcement of a final outcome, when that is known. Johnuniq (talk) 08:46, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The domain removal process has been halted and the registration is being returned to me. It might take a few hours for everything to sort itself out, including re-propagation through the DNS servers etc. - Sitush (talk) 13:39, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good! NebY (talk) 15:38, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why are not you coming back still?

We have much much more important works in hand than those IAC, we have CoTM restart, EnWP India community organization etc, see User:Titodutta/Condensed proposed roadmap for Wikimedia work in India'

And our proposed leader is gone from En WP. When are you returning ? --Tito☸Dutta 19:32, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Titodutta:
Wow, that is a very ambitious list of projects. Is this part of the India WikiProject? Or, maybe that's what you mean by EnWP India community organization.
There's a lot there that is out of my reach, but I've just written a couple of dozen or so articles about India - mostly places, towns, or biographies. If I can help out a little with articles that are not likely to be contentious, I would be happy to kick in a bit of effort.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:59, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, those are recent Wikimedia India Conference's "ideas" (Bangalore, 4-5 October). #Community is mainly our works, but, we can spread and take over other works as well. First thing we need is "community organization" and we need Sitush to lead the project. -- Tito☸Dutta 20:09, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush, Löwchen!

Party to Arbitration Case

Per this request by Worm That Turned, I have added you to the list of involved parties for the Gender Gap Task Force case. Since this addition is after evidence phase has closed, the evidence phase is now re-opened until October 25th (with the other phases' dates pushed back accordingly). - Penwhale | dance in the air and follow his steps 12:25, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doubt I'll be adding evidence. I am once again briefly in Manchester but will soon be leaving and am thus spending my short bit of time here refuting errant claims etc in the Workshop phase. - Sitush (talk) 12:46, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Request

I'm rather taken with your second paragraph here as I share the same view and it's a pleasure to see it articulated so precisely. Would you feel comfortable with it appearing on my user page as a boxed quote? I'd prefer to include attribution, but I'm easy either way and would respect your wishes. Fyi, according to the page view statistics my user page achieves near-record levels of indifference. Nevertheless I'm far from indifferent about its contents. Writegeist (talk) 17:57, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is not my property. Do whatever you wish with it. - Sitush (talk) 23:19, 23 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear: I didn't ask in the belief that you're its owner, but in the knowledge that you're its author. Anyway, thanks. Willie Eckerslyke, aka Writegeist (talk) 03:35, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blank Redirect

This page Talk:List_of_Khandelwal_Gotras was created as per WP:LISTN. Before redirection, it should have been discussed here on talk page WP:ATD-R

Reverting it to original content and expecting you to discuss the necessity of redirect. --Adroit09 (talk) 19:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
