An award for you!

	The dog's nose award
	No one can identify socks as good as you. Keep up the good work! :) ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 09:51, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, we seem to have a flood of socks these last few days. Most annoying. Darkness Shines (talk) 09:54, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Kashmir Edit

the edit is not about one man, it is about the fact that the man was an army major and the major was issued a passport to leave inspite of a court order in India. After that the extradition was never pursued. This is not action of one man, rather than a government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.225.186.174 (talk) 19:21, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

The person editing behind this IP, (not guessing who he is) but he is well aware of the Arbcom notice and went straight ahead to file an Arbitration Request.--DBigXray 11:42, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I thing he meant that in the sense of a neutral party rather than the arbitration case, when are these discretionary sanctions getting posted anyway? Darkness Shines (talk) 12:16, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Against community consensus the Blanket sanctions on around 1,50,000 articles (broadly construed) is already in force since last night, because an arbcom clerk has posted notices on tha talk pages of affected Wikiprojects to inform editors that a sanction has been placed. eg. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Pakistan#Arbitration_motion_regarding_Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration.2FIndia-Pakistan . (although there is some discussion here, The fact is its already enforced)--DBigXray 12:40, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Inner City Hoodlum

Thanks for pointing me to Twinkle. I don't know what I am supposed to do about a user who does not respond to messages on the user talk or article talk pages. What should I do? Just wait? There are now cleanup tags on the article page that should point the user to something helpful. Should I remove the 3RR warning, since the copy-paste warning is there? Or are you saying I should revert? Whesse (talk) 20:21, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

You do not need to remove any warnings given, you need not revert, I already did it. If a user continues to add copyright material on the twinkle drop down is one titled ARV, use this to report the user for copyvios. For users who break WP:3RR you need to post to WP:AN3, be sure to not break 3RR yourself, there are only a few exemptions. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:28, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Deleted Page

Hello...I am new to writing on Wikipedia and you just deleted my submission. I edited the page to remove anything that I thought could arguably sound non-neutral and I was in the midst of adding more references when it was deleted. Could you please offer me some advice, so that I might get it undeleted? ...or do I just need to start again. Thank you for time and help! Lisavn (talk) 23:58, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
