Your trumping

If you're going to over turn the actions of another admin, a note on why would be courteous. You obviously disagree with my actions, that's fine. You seem to think you're wiser than I, so if you want to deal with this edit war and a the particular POV pushing editor, have at it. You have, though, mischaracterized me as an editor to the article, when in actuality I was being quite careful to stay out of the content dispute and deal only with the behavior. Policy makes an exception and allows reverting vandalism, when it comes to block admins not participating. This had grown beyond a content issue, which is why I deemed it appropriate to revert before locking. However, as you clearly think that it's best to reverse my actions without even touching base with me, I'll let you handle this one from here on out. AKRadecki^Speaketh 05:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Why are you so in favour of deleting everything? The person is a good example of an early Youtube meme who was forced to leave the site because of privacy concerns - that's what the articles indicate.

From the technical it is certainly possible. VS only edits from a home account, and ADF edits from an office computer.

Whos going to win the cricket?

I am sure since you are interested very much in the Indians and living in Australia. What chances do you think the Australians have? Given their bowling attack is pretty slim especially spin, id be relying on the bat to make sure Australia dont lose. Ta 211.30.12.197 (talk) 07:35, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd have to say it's probably up to either side's batsmen to lose the series, probably India's moreso. I guess if the pitches are good for batting, I don't see why the series should not be drawn 0-0, and if it isn't I think the batsmen from one of the sides won't have batted well enough. Both batting lineups are quite strong, especailly compared to the bowlers. If the batsmen were replaced with the 1930s Australian and England batsmen, I could see Ponsford, Bradman, Hutton and Hammond making triple centuries more than once. In the last series, the SCG match should have been drawn I think, and now with Gambhir and Sehwag there instead of Jaffer I think the Indians won't be forced immediately onto the back foot like the MCG and SCG Tests when they bat. To be honest, the Indians are not a first-class level team in terms of fitness - I saw them train at Adelaide Oval when I took all their photos and most of them didn't do the stretches when John Gloster told them to. Sehwag and SRT just leaned against the fence and Sreesanth and Harbhajan were talking to the spectators. LOL. I didn't see any jogging type exercises. In the March 2005, Jan 2006 and Dec 2007 series against Pak, there were a pile of flat pitches and India's attack went all toothless in 4-5th days and in some cases Pakistan only lost 3-4 wickets per day on a wearing pitch in the second innings. Looking back on the last 3 years, almost all of India's wins have come when the game was over in < 5 days, or when it only lasted 4 days and 1 hour. Especially now that the warhorse Kumble appears to be rusting quite badly and he was the usual in defatigable lionheart in such matches, I think India might struggle in the flat-pitch attrition battles. Harbhajan has gone rather flat since the start of 2006 and looked pretty hopeless for two years, but after the controversies of this year, was MotS against RSA and after he slapped Sreesanth he came back and took 9 wickets in the 2nd Test against SL in Kandy. In 2001 he took 32 wickets after he got expelled from the Academy and his father died and in late 2005 he won a couple of MotM after he got gagged for bagging Chappell. So he tends to do well after getting into some angry incidents so I guess it depends whether he is still fired up or might get invovled in another stoush. I can't see the Indian pacers being much of a threat on flat pitches, especially when Zaheer drops down to 120kph after his first few spells. Most of the Australian batsmen + Sehwag and Gambhir get out mostly trying to be aggressive so I think if either side are worried about losing they should just bat. If India decide to go to minefield result pitches, it could end up with the likes of Clarke taking bags of wickets and it would diminish India's spin advantage. If they went for a green pitch I think India would mentally psych themselves into losing by an innings or something (Ahmedabad 2008, Nagpur 2004), because they aren't meentally prepared for green ptiches in India. I think they would actually do well if they didn't think pnegatively when they see a green pitch at home and think they've lost their home advantage. Most of India's recent overseas wins have come on bowling pitches (Perth 2008, Headingley 2007, Joburg 2006, Sabina Park 2006), which I think is because they seamers can move the ball, India have Tendulkar and Dravid-two technically correct batsman, which is quite a lot in this age, and if the match lasts three days, the terrible fitness and 4-5th day burnout doesn't show up so much and the bowlers only have to bowl 70-80 overs at a time. People always talk about Australia's "amazing" and "uncanny" ability to make a comeback late in the day but I think it's just fitness and not miracles. A lot of the Indian batsmen fell late in the day to normal deliveries. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 08:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

If I was an Australian selector I would be tempted to pick Jaques, Katich, Watson and White and only have two specialist quicks. I think Clarke is the best spinner as is anyway. Indians tend to bash wristspinners, I can't see White and Katich conceding less than five runs an over, but even those two would be better than Krejza who got bashed about by Yuvraj who struggles against even Symonds and Hogg. Also play both Katich and Jaques because lefthanders score big against India. They tend to not bowl well when they go around the wicket. YellowMonkey (click here to choose Australia's next top model) 08:24, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I think both captains would win the toss, bat first and try to make 650+ and demoralise the other lot. I think India would be more susceptible to getting demoralised if they lost the toss or had 600+ piled up against them. It didn't affect India when Pak piled on 600+ first, but the Aussie fielders will cut off at least 20% of the runs due to old Indian uncles "Fab Four" who run about 30% slower.

"Forced disappearance" easter egg on Qoigyijabu page

Hi YellowMonkey,

I'd like to discuss with you the situation on the page for Qoigyijabu where the word "vanished" is linked to the page for forced disappearance. I recently removed that link, and it appears that you restored it, with the summary "well he didn't voltunary disappear, PRC siad they took him".

First of all, do you understand what I mean by "easter egg"? Someone else recently used that term to describe a very similar link on the page for Panchen Lama, and it's a helpful term for describing a certain kind of problem with links. WP:EGG says the following: "Keep piped links as intuitive as possible. Do not use piped links to create 'easter egg links', that require the reader to follow them before understanding what's going on."

If you haven't already, could you please see Talk:Panchen Lama and search for "forced disappearance" there? I won't repeat a lot of what I wrote there. The main point is simply this: if there is going to be a link to forced disappearance, then the article itself needs to say "forced disappearance" (not "vanished" or anything else). If you really want to link to "forced disappearance", then would you please revise the article so that it says that, while following all the relevant policies, without using an easter egg? Do you agree that this is a reasonable request? If not, could you please explain why not? In other words, could you please explain why it would be impossible, or inappropriate, to include the words "forced disappearance" in the article, but it would be appropriate to link to that article using an easter egg?

Another consideration, although this is secondary: since the person who disappeared from the public view was not Qoigyijabu, but rather Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, any detailed discussion of the disappearance, and related links, really belong in the latter article.

Thanks and best wishes, Mesopelagicity (talk) 02:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Comment by Srirangam99 =

Mr.Blinguen,

While I am not the one to question your 'protecting' a page or article whether or not it is an FA category, I want to point out at least one inaccuracy in the Western Chalukya page.... I pointed out to user Dinesh Kannambadi about one portion of text mentioned in the article on the Western Chalukyas. The said portion is copied in here for your information and consideration as an admin:

The overall effort by Somesvara IV to rebuild the Chalukya empire failed and the dynasty was ended by the Seuna rulers who drove Somesvara IV into exile in Banavasi 1189. After the fall of the Chalukyas, the Seunas and Hoysalas continued warring over the Krishna River region in 1191, each inflicting a defeat on the other at various points in time.[44] This period saw the fall of two great empires, the Chalukyas of the western deccan and the Cholas of Tamilakam. On the ruins of these two empires were built the Kingdoms of their feudatories whose mutual antagonisms filled the annals of Deccan history for over a hundred years, the Pandyas taking control over some regions of the erstwhile Chola empire.[45]

In the above passage, while it may be ok for giving info on kingdoms in western deccan or deccan whose mutual antagonisms filled history annals.... I feel that mentioning the demise of the Cholas (who did so in 1279/1285 AD) in the Chalukya page who got eclipsed in 1190 WHICH IS ALMOST 90 YEARS PRIOR TO THAT OF THE CHOLAS, is quite inappropriate.

Mr.Kannambadi also mentions that the Chalukyas convincingly eclipsed the Cholas after the Cholas lost Vengi which is quite untrue. This is because Vengi was lost by the Chalukyas to the Cholas themselves under Vikrama Chola for after winning Vengi in 1119 or 1118, Vikramaditya expired in 1125 or so and was followed by very weak successors and the Chalukya capital itself was lost for around 30 years from 1136-1140 (courtesy, Ancient India by K.A.N.Sastri, 1956 edition). So what does he mean there, by winning Vengi and keeping it for 6-8 years the Cholas were convincingly eclipsed by the Chalukyas... Does it mean that we are to believe that sustaining a victory for 6-8 years enables an empire to claim glory or feeling that their opponents were convincingly eclipsed. I know Kannambadi will also speak about jingoism and that Hoysalas too won Gangavadi from Cholas, but pls. remind him that the same was prior to the Chalukyas conquering Vengi. I am sure you will be very well acquainted with these facts in case you have in-depth knoweldge of Indian History especially that of South India.

I will await for your (hopefully) impartial decision so that these pages are reopened and their quality further improved through placing of proper facts supported by evidences.

I think it we should have better discussed this before the block.I personally dont agree with many of Goolean's edits but after this incident, your judgement on blocking Goolean may be not really appreciated, probably an more uninvolved admin should have questioned the actions of Googlean. On the other hand, we should have more discussion whether consensus or reliable sources should be given more weightage. Just my personal opinion, though -- Tinu Cherian - 16:35, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I've added some comments on this matter when it was raised at the noticeboard - section break 2 may be of interest to you. Ncmvocalist (talk) 03:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Just providing the link of which NCM says : Wikipedia_talk:Noticeboard_for_India-related_topics#Section_break_2 . FYI -- Tinu Cherian - 05:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Just a suggestion, you may want to explain why you remove the paragraph about the racial abuse of Andrew Symonds on the talk page of the article and on the talk page of the user who keeps adding it back in. I agree with the removal, but an explanation longer than what you can put in the edit summary box might stop it going back in! Andrew nixon (talk) 06:29, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
