Hi DYK maestro. How are things. I noticed you created an articles two days ago on a village in the CAR. IThis is one of my aims on wikipedia is building up content on Africa geography. I would apprecaite you help in this area but in future can you add an infobox and find coordinates like I have done to [[Alindao]]. I'm currently going through every article on an African settlement and adding the realtive country locator etc. I did Guinea Bissau and Sierra Leone earlier. Cheers [[User:Blofeld of SPECTRE| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <fontspan style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦'''''</fontspan>]]</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Blofeld of SPECTRE| <fontspan sizestyle="font-size:x-4"><fontsmall; color=":Black;">'''$1,000,000?'''</font></font colorspan> ]]</sup> 20:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

It is absolutely astounding how many places exist and how many thousands of notable places there are in these places which nobody knows anything at all about!!! I've just started [[Gbokopeteme]] linked from your article and the way I'm doing it is to work on specific areas at a time filling in nearby settlements in a chain effect. I did some similar things with [[Mogolo]] and Eritrea yesterday.

The best sites are maplandia.com or traveljournals.com combined with the MSN encarta map for detailed viewing of nearby settlements and falling rain which shows nearby settlements (this is accurate although I strictly avoid reading estimate dpopulation given on that site as it is most often very wrong!!. But I use thoose sites to confirm well enough that the location/name is accurate [[User:Blofeld of SPECTRE| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <fontspan style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦'''''</fontspan>]]</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Blofeld of SPECTRE| <fontspan sizestyle="font-size:x-4"><fontsmall; color=":Black;">'''$1,000,000?'''</font></font colorspan> ]]</sup> 21:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Per your request I provided a [[Talk:Mumbai#Let.27s_stop_the_edit_warring|detailed critique]] of [[user:Nikkul]]'s poor edits in the lead, and I explained there that these were not simple cases of imperfect edits that other editors help improve, but rather repetitive edits even after others have pointed out the problems. [[user:Nikkul]] has also replaced all the Mumbai images with glossy pictures again; this too in spite of the discussion (initiated by Nichalp) on the India portal. I am too busy to keep constant watch on [[user:Nikkul]], but clearly he is not being helpful or cooperative.

Sir, in the last wekk or so, this article is being edited by an IP 59:92... who makes edits without comments, summary or justification. The edits seem simple enough, but consistent and capable of triggering unnecessary edit wars, given the current situation. I am watching these these two FA's. If he continues to edit with an IP, please put a soft lock as this may force him to log in and discuss his edits.thanks.[[User:Dineshkannambadi|Dineshkannambadi]] ([[User talk:Dineshkannambadi|talk]]) 23:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, before I say what we should do, let me say what we ''shouldn't'' - [[:fr:Félix Houphouët-Boigny|Félix Houphouët-Boigny]] and [[:fr:Léon Mba|Léon M'ba]], because I'll be translating them from French at some point and it would be unnecessary to duplicate their research. Why don't we go nice and slow... You keep working on Bokassa, publish what you've got, and I'll come by with some additional material. That's bound to be a big project. I for one will take Youlou. It won't be ready immediately, but within a couple of weeks I should have something (I have an obituary, plus some Google Books snippets). And then, likewise, you can come in and spruce it up. As for Idi Amin, [[User:Ezeu]] seems to be handling that one, so FA possibilities should be discussed with him first (I agree it shouldn't be too hard).

I see that you have used your doppleganger account for a few edits (far from criminal in my mind). I suggest that you add a line or 2 of text saying that you occasionally use the account to edit when you want to do some edits in unsecured locations (if that's true), like I have on [[User:RoyalbroilAlt]].

== Hi ==
 
The issue I brought up is about someone that calls other countries '''non-historic''', how is that not relevant to Wikipedia? Please read the link I provided once more. I am not a citizen of any of those countries mentioned, but I feel ashamed that people resort to these kind of language, belittling other people and cultures. Raising awareness about these issue in my view is essential to have a wikipedia free of prejudice.[[User:Heja helweda|Heja Helweda]] ([[User talk:Heja helweda|talk]]) 04:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
::Give me a break. The context is clear and some of these countries I mentioned Kuwait, Oman and UAE etc. are non-historical and the others like the Caucus countries are weak (relative to their much larger neighbors). It was a discussion from 3 months ago on my talkpage. I can find google books reference for both of my claims. It was a discussion between me and another user, 3 months ago and trying to instigate Georgian and Armenian users against me will not work and is taking a battle ground mentality. Did I talk about [[Armenian Genocide]] or you just brought it out of the blue to instigate Armenian users against me? I am talking about modern political entities and not average citizens. There is no racism except the fact that you are trying to instigate other users based on ethnic background and it will not work. Your action to provoke me did not work and it backfired. Do not try to push it further by spamming and misinterpreting my message on my own talkpage. --[[User:Ali doostzadeh|alidoostzadeh]] ([[User talk:Ali doostzadeh|talk]]) 04:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

== about quote in Bhindranwale ==
 
I can't understand what is the need for such quotes. Also what is the need for describing him as anti- social. come on on this is an encyclopedia. Mahatama Gandhi has written ( rather confessed) in his autobiography-(my experiments with truth), that he went to brothels during his stay in london as a student of law, but did not have sex. You don't find that in his article. [[User:Ajjay|Ajjay]] ([[User talk:Ajjay|talk]]) 04:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
:I have the book with me, but i cannot find it. I think someone borrowed and forgot to return! i will try and get it back, if it is not lost! Anyways, i want to tell you that i am not a big fan of Bhindranwale, i got interested in the article because of Sikhism tag. I also want to tell you that i am doin masters in peace studies. Can you believe it!! Any ways i think that the quotes from any person don't belong in any article ( i know i added some in some). Each and every person, saints, leaders, prophets and me and you ( maybe after 100 years) have critics and quotes that go against them in strong language. We should mention general history and refrain from highlighting strong quotes, they are afterall capable of altering the state of an article (slyly) without appearing to do so and reflect as a judgement, which a good historian never makes.If the quote has to be included, then we need the full quote and not a part of quote, as we won't know what tully really refered to and wanted the reader to know[[User:Ajjay|Ajjay]] ([[User talk:Ajjay|talk]]) 17:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Nishkid64, I just wanted to ask if you personally thought that Osama Bin Laden and Mr Bhindranwale had absolutely nothing in common ?
 
I only ask this because according to Prof. Jurgensmeyer, he believed they did indeed share the same ideological concepts and goals.
If you can dig up the BBC documentary on Gandhi or the Sikhs, he does in fact describe the personalities and the events before and after Op Bluestar
 
Thanks
 
Dave
 
Good luck with your MA and hope you make it to the UN
== Bio guideline question ==
 
Hi Nishkid64,
I see you're a Bio Project admin, so perhaps you can answer a question of mine. Probably this has already been addressed, but I can't seem to find it in any of the docs or discussions. Namely, in instances when the name or country of a person's birthplace/death place has changed, how should it be listed? For example, a person was born in 1960 in "Leningrad, USSR" &mdash; now "St. Petersburg, Russia": my inclination is that the article Lead and Infobox should both state the person was born in "Leningrad USSR (now St. Petersburg, Russia)". Is there a guideline covering this? <i><b>[[User:JGHowes|<span style="color:green;">JGHowes</span>]] [[User talk:JGHowes|<sup style="color:darkblue;">''talk''</sup>]]</b> - </i> 20:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Very elusive, this information on Chinese powder compositions. · [[User:AndonicO|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman; color:black;">'''A'''''ndonic'''''O'''</span>]] [[User talk:AO|<sup style="font-family:Times New Roman; color:navy;">'''''Hail!'''''</sup>]] 17:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 
== Is it acceptable? ==
 
I don't have any interaction with {{User|JacquesNguyen}}, but was very startled to see her harsh personal attack to the editor who disagrees with her edit. You once blocked the user for her harassment on editors, so can have better judgment in this situation. Please take a look at the links, Thanks.

[[User:JacquesNguyen]], who has about six days left of a 7-day block, is nevertheless still active under a different username, as seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bugeaud here].

Can't tell what you intended [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ima_Hogg&diff=199131715&oldid=199129835 here,] but it's goofed up. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 17:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 
:And this source is already in the article, I think you're repeating: Micek, Kassia. "Ima Hogg and Texas history are brought to life through lively tales created by a local librarian and children's author", The Courier, Houston Community Newspapers, September 25, 2006.

Yep, both of those are wrong; can you go back and fix them? I can't tell what you meant to do, but what you've done is goofed up. Karanacs has done so much work already with Bernhard and Neely that I'm afraid you're going to get crossed up in content if you get ahead of her with other sources. Also, she's citing book sources differently than you are, so we should stay on the same page. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 17:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
:I hope you saw her notes at [[Talk:Ima Hogg/additional material]]; she'll be done reading Bernhard today, and has all of that content to incorporate, and someone has already been through the New York Times archives.

Hey, Nishkid ... there's a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ima_Hogg#Ready_for_next_phase status update here]. Tony has made a first pass, and Maralia is going to go through next. I left queries on the talk page. At the end, we need a compelling lead, and I'm hoping {{user|The Fat Man Who Never Came Back}} (who has a wonderful way with a turn of a phrase) will come up with some hook for the lead that will make the reader think, "is this real, or are they pulling my leg". If you see anything else ... If you get the book, it will be helpful in answering queries when it goes to FAC. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 17:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 
:Go for it ... it actually hasn't really been written yet ... the physical description stuff in the lead needs to move somewhere. Perhaps put {{t1|inuse}} while you're working, so others will know. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 21:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 
Are you still planning to do that? We do need a lead by about Monday. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<span style="color:green;">Georgia</span>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 16:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. I'm thinking of trying [[Art Houtteman]] at [[WP:FAC]] again soon, after i do a bit more work on it. Since you've done some baseball FAC's before, and I've yet to, I was wondering if you could review it and let me know what you think, or if you find any glaring mistakes. I'd go through peer review, but that's a crapshoot, better to just ask someone I can trust :) [[User:Wizardman|<span style="color:#060">'''''Wizardman'''''</span>]] 02:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
