re:anchorencode

Yeah I would have suggested using {{anchorencode:foo}} but it doesnt do all the necissary stuff like the TOC such as remove wikilinks and HTML (which you mentioned earlier). Whenever i encode stuff i have 2 functions: wikiurlencode and wikianchorencode, and just use those every time i refer to a page or anchor. GeorgeMoney (talk) 18:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

JelloCube27 and Buyable's tomfoolery

relax, I am joking with the guy. what the hell is your problem? Buyable 21:53, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Poor choice of jokes. The Wikipedia:No legal threats policy says very clearly our view on legal threats. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 22:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, a mutual exchange of friendly jests was obviously a legal threat. Poor choice of jokes indeed. Buyable 22:47, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I can detect sarcasm, that was sarcastic. I knew you were joking. It is still not allowed. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 22:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Buyable's not bothering me, we're just foolin'! Thanks for your concern, though-- won't make a giant image again, noted. Jellocube27 00:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Why have you temporarily banned Buyable? The reasons provided were "vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy", however I see none of these as relevant descriptions of his actions. Jellocube27 03:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

This is the edit in question[3]. Misuse of warnings is not something we encourage here. That coupled with previous warnings about disruption seemed to be enough. However I will go back to his page and explain how to ask another admin to review the block. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 04:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, that seems a bit more reasonable :) Jellocube27 04:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Message on wrong talk page?

Didn't you mean to comment to Hipocrite, rather than THB? http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:THB&diff=prev&oldid=96963502 -- SCZenz 17:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes I did, thank you for pointing it out. I am a little slow in the morning, I need to go get some caffeine. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 17:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Comments from users of a certain behavior.

Please do not reinsert comments from users that you may think I believe are trolls on my user page. Such taunting is wholy unwelcome. Thank you for your consideration. Hipocrite - «Talk» 18:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

In my edit summery I made it clear I thought it was an accident. Sometimes when people post in close proximity to each other one edit cancels out another, but still shows in history.

Also, you do not own your talk page, it is part of the community like anywhere else. The question was out of line, but is questionably trolling, and was a question for another user, not you. I will not re-add it again, but I did nothing wrong in re-adding it before. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I see you provided diffs to the removed content. Nice, that I what I do when I need to remove content from my userpage. Thanks. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments

Thank you for your comments. I will leave the warnings on the page. That was just out of anger at admin Zoe at the speed he deleted my articles without allowing me sufficient time. Please tell me how to archive them though. Coming to my actual articles, the two spiritual gurus about whom I was trying to create articles have founded an organisation, have over 20 centers around the world, have thousands of followers and have been printed in Indian Media. They have written books, composed songs and routinely toured/tour (one is late) around the world. I'm just confused how this cannot establish notability? Do they become non-notable if they donot appear in Western media? Admin Zoe was never clear about his reasons and was a bit insensitive with his speed. That just prompted me to use strong words.. I very well know and respect the civility that needs to be maintained and fully honour that... But when I see a misuse of power by an admin , I sure will talk about it. Hope you understand Thank you for your time..Please help me in putting up these articles as they are genuine.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthere (talk • contribs) 10:30, December 29, 2006

Hi, I will show you how to archive by example on you page in a moment. As for notability, the pertinent policies are WP:BIO, and if the subject of the biography is still alive, WP:LIVING. basically you need to provide non-trivial reliable sources demonstrating the notability of the subject, and verifying the facts presented in the article.

Article on Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji

One is on Ganapathi Sachchidananda...An copy-right non-violated version exists for this article before some copyright material was added by some other wikipedian. Admin Zoe deleted it. I request you to restore it to the copyright-nonviolated version, because this is about a genuine notable person. Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda is a very prominent spiritual leader in India. He has establsihed temples around in the world in India, USA (baton rouge and in Pensylvania), Europe and West Indies.[Swamiji toured around the world atleast 60 times, please see www.dattapetham.com->tours] He has thousands of followers east and west and the state and central governments of india hosted him to give a spiritual music concert. Please visit www.dattapeetham.com for more information. Please kindly undelete the article and revert it back to the copyright-nonviolated version — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthere (talk • contribs) 10:30, December 29, 2006

I see no Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji article in the deletion history, what was the exact name of the article so I can take a look? HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. The article is actually titled Ganapathi Sachchidananda. Below is the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganapathi_Sachchidananda

Please look into this. Thanks.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthere (talk • contribs) 11:28, December 29, 2006

I will take a look and e-mail you the text in question, sans the copyrighted stuff. Make sure you have your e-mail preferences turned on and an e-mail address entered. Your address is kept secret unless you reply to a message, but people can still contact you via the E-mail this user button on the side. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 19:32, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again. My e-mail is turned on. will wait for that.--Iamthere 19:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Sent, glad you figured out the signature. Happy editing, be bold, and heed advice. Go to the talk page and discuss the matter if you disagree with an editor. Read WP:CSD to see why a page may be instantly deleted without discussion. Any other type of deletion requires a debate where you can present evidence and arguments. Have fun! HighInBC ^{(Need help?

Article about Ekkirala Krishnamacharya

People know Ekkirala Krishnamacharya as Master E.K. I tried to create article using Master E.K. and admin Zoe deleted and protected the page name "Master E.K." I also pasted some copyrighted material just to describe in my own words. But I wasnt given enough time. If you can please unprotect the title word "Master E.K." and "Master ek" and atleast, please let me know if I can create an article titles "Ekkirala Krishnamacharya". This is also a genuine article and the person in context is notable becuase, Ekkirala Krishnamacharya[Late], [Also known as Kulapathi Ekkirala Krishnamacharya or Master E.K.], is a Late spiritual guru who spread newage philosophy in India and also founded the organisation "The World Teacher Trust". This philosophy is closely related to Theosophy. He gained followed through his teachings, a number of books he wrote on Spirituality,Occultism, Homeopathy,etc., the schools he establsihed and the free homeo service done to the people. His followers beleive him to be spritually enlightened. For more information, please see www.worldteachertrust.org/ek_e.htm or type "ekkirala krishnamacharya" or Master E.K. in google. [Master E.K. toured the west over 30 times, mainly in Europe and South america] My intent is not to spam here but I truly believe these are notable persons in India and to a lesser extent in west and its worth having an article on Wikipedia. I hope I have made a genuine case for their inclusion..Please let me know if I'm missing something here...Looking forward for including these articles to the wikipedia.. Thanks, Iamthere — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamthere (talk • contribs) 10:30, December 29, 2006

If you need time to work on an article before it is up to standards you can create a subpage by creating a link from your userspace like this [[User:Iamthere/Ekkirala Krishnamacharya]] which will create a link to a blank page like this User:Iamthere/Ekkirala Krishnamacharya, where you can write the article. Once your article meets policies and guidelines for biographies the I gave you above you can use the Move tab at the top of the page to move it into the article space. HighInBC ^{(Need help?

Your Vandalism work

Nice job with all the vandalism bans, along with all the other ones. :) ~ EdBoy^[c] 19:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
