Congratulations!!! You have been awarded the "Most anti social nerd on Planet Earth Award"

[[:Image:Simp frink.png|thumb|right|100px|A picture to add to the 'award'; not very antisocial though: sorry :) --h y dka t]] Hi there. Just a reminder that your salary has been raised from 1Rs Indian to 2Rs for keeping on copy and pasting fictious articles in the Pak-India War section of Wikipedia. There is more in the world out there than computers and books. Too bad u've already missed out on it.

Cheers. Usman.

Exactly what did you do to piss this guy of this much? Plz tell me- I want to give it a try ;) --h y dka t 20:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

and how would you like that 1 rupee salary hike? cash or check? I wonder if you are interested in a ESOP path for your new found wealth? (I having too much fun here) --h y dka t 07:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I agree, there seems to a very zealous editor who is adding nonsense to 'user' and 'user talk' pages of various Indian users (including new ones!). I'm confused as to what has triggered all this. :?-- thund e rboltz^(Deepu) 07:26, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess someone is having fun at our expense (I didnt mean you Hydkat;) -- Lost^(talk) 07:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Deletion

The reason I deleted it was because the total content was "'Little Terrorist is a short film directed, written and produced by Ashvin Kumar." That's a speedy deletion under criterion A1, namely an article with little or no content/context. Feel free to recreate the article since you obviously plan to expand it. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 07:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Then with all due respect, please add the information. - Lucky 6.9 07:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Stupid things

My favourite time of year is during the Toronto International Film Festival where I can perfect the art of saying stupid things to celebrities! I was about to talk to Sharon Stone but my friends stopped me for fear that I would make a fool of myself again! -- Samir धर्म 08:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Little Terrorist

No problem. I find that sometimes, the easiest way to add to an article is to see what links there and add the information from other articles. It's also something I do as an admin when deciding whether to delete articles. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:20, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Little Terrorist. "You" are a nice page. Congrats. --Bhadani 12:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Let him roam around - he/ she is perhaps less harmful than many others who roam around in here. --Bhadani 13:32, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Re DYKs

Ya, as Indians we have pretty much had a late start on wikipedia IMO and also we have a lot more to share than many other countries (maybe my POV but I'm happy being ignorant...lol). I've been noticing your DYKS as well and they've been giving me a chance to learn a lot too... btw which IIT did you go to? Keep up the great work! Rock on! --Antorjal 15:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Me Kgp... been in the states since 2001 and on wikipedia since last month. I did grad school in molecular biology so if there are any biotech/mol biol India related articles you think we're missing, give me a yell and I'll create one ASAP. Take care. --Antorjal 15:17, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

AWB

I have started replacing WP:POI template with the India template with AWB. I noticed that you had problem doing the same. Can you explain to me what the issue is? - Ganeshk (talk) 06:13, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

For the ones that do not have tags, you would use the Prepend function (I have not tried this yet). For the ones that have the HOI tag, get a list of articles using Category:WikiProject History of India. Then use the Find and replace function in the Set options tag, use Normal button, replace {{Wikiproject History of India}} with {{WP India|history=yes}}. Let me know if you have more questions. - Ganeshk (talk) 06:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I checked your assessment on Shimla. B is good. Just continue. If someone feels otherwise, they will change it. - Ganeshk (talk) 06:32, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I added {{WP India|class=|importance=|politics=yes}}. Thanks for the suggestion. - Ganeshk (talk) 06:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the answer! --Simscar ;-) 14:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

HOI update

Was there consensus on the HOI project for this? I read Zora expressed concern. POI was my pet project. So I went ahead. :) Will wait to hear from you on this. - Ganeshk (talk) 16:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I was asking you to check with HOI members (not with Zora). Deeptrivia and Rama's arrow in particular. - Ganeshk (talk) 17:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree with your idea for a unified template. Its a good idea. Rama's arrow 02:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Lost, I have started updating HOI talk pages with the project banner. Few hundred more to go. I will complete them tomorrow. - Ganeshk (talk) 07:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

DYK

After seeing the cool yellow boxes on yours, Akash, Rama's arrow, etc pages. I nominated Rana Bhagwandas and Poverty in Pakistan for DyK. Do you have any pointers on nom's and the pages? Ragib and rama's arrow helped me out with the first one, and Hkelkar really worked hard on the second.Bakaman _Bakatalk 02:28, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Tilak article

Hi lost, thanx for the reply. Yeah, it's an obvious copy. Pity, I didn't check the site earlier. Actually, a user had pasted the whole article on Shivaji page from where it was shifted to the Talk:Shivaji page. I have mentioned it on the article discussion page as well as in the edit summary when I created the article. So I thought the article is authentic. Well, anyway, but you've got a lot of articles to DYK. Congrats on that. I would like to have one article atleast to the DYK level. You know, I've created quite a few articles, but I wasn't aware of the DYK system. Thanx again. While creating a new article, I will get back to you.

Help - What links here - or what doesn't link here

You responded to my note on the help page about this conversation on the Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) page. There is a problem when external links are used instead of internal links: the 'What links here' part of the toolbox does not show all the pages which link there (the external links from other pages are not listed). What if I wanted to see all the pages which link to one another? In a such a case, I could not see the external links. 0plusminus0 17:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm asking whether it is right to use external links to other wikipedia articles. For example, if I use this link external link, to this random article, then User talk:Lostintherush will not show up on that article's 'What links here' page. The user from this conversation is using external links to deliberately prevent internal links from appearing in the 'What links here' part of certain pages. What if I wanted to see all the links to a page? With the use of external links, I would not be able to do this, so that is the problem. 0plusminus0 18:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

See here for what is happening. 0plusminus0 18:20, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying the situation. It would make sense that if one template uses external links, then all templates should use external links. Or maybe someone could invent a mechanism to prevent links from templates appearing on 'What links here'. Let me know if there is a policy, but I couldn't find one. 0plusminus0 18:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

G.T. Nanavati

Created today. I'm working on it for a possible DyK.Bakaman _Bakatalk 01:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

New tool

A while ago you asked me if I had any tools other than my edit counter. I've finished a new one today that you might like to try; it's bundled with the edit counter and should show up if you bypass your cache. The 'last 1000' tool generates a summary of what a user has been doing recently, looking for pages they have edited heavily and showing some random diffs; just like the edit counter, it can be accessed from contributions screens. (By the way, it's another slow one, although not quite as slow.) Hope you like it! --ais523 15:57, 20 September 2006 (U T C)

Regarding Amar Chitra Katha

I was going through the questions in India quiz. The answer to Q3 of Round 12, the king who died by a worm in a fruit...brought back good old memories. I still remember the issue of Parikshith...the picture on the front. A snake surrounding the neck of Parikshit...right? Nice memories...Do u remember the Indrajal ones as well? Bahadur, Phantom, Narda and the stuffs?Bye...--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC).

Aha...nice days...As far as I remember, the last Indrajal comics was in around 1988, some rather Indian character. Bela was a sex symbol in those days :) not to tell of the girls on Mandrake. You know, there are no articles on Bahadur... I give u the responsiilty...--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Cat recreation

I have no objections, go for it. Yank sox 01:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Question

IIT. Respect. \m/ Which year/branch/campus?

Amogh 10:02, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Lost. I gave the JEE back in 2004, but could only clear the screening, heh. I'm at a nondescript engineering college, slogging my a** off over some Navier Stokes equations, and some very confusing equations... hoping to get into a good uni. for my MS in Fall '08...

Cheers, keep in touch.

Amogh.

The smile

Your smile was "cool". I really felt comfortable. --Bhadani 13:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for your kind works of welcome, it really makes a difference!

Adding India project banner

I have requested help at the WP:BIOGRAPHY's automation department about this. May be we should one such automation department in Indian project too. - Ganeshk (talk) 17:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

THANKS

I wanted to thank you for the warm welcome when you saw my post in the discussion page for Gandhi. I will read the articles you suggested and hopefully, slowly but surely, become more than just a passive observer. Caris42 19:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

IRC instructions

Hey Lost, I've dropped you a Wikipedia email with detailed instructions on how to access IRC. I hope they help you get connected. Cheers --Srik e it ^{(Talk | Email)} 19:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Lost

Hey Lost. Thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It finished with an amazing final tally of 160/4/1. I really appreciate your support. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 21:15, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Nivedita Bhasin

I have now enhanced the article and added many links .Does It look good now for DYK..Shyamsunder 10:01, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Reply - It needs refs, not external sources. Might I redirect you to the rana Bhagwandas article. ITs looking good though, it needs to be a bit ore professional and less advert/stub like.Bakaman _Bakatalk 23:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for improving the page and help to make it to DYK.As I was unwell I could not thank you earlier. ..Shyamsunder 07:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Wrong revert

Thanks for telling me, I forgot to refresh the contribs page to see if the edit was still on top before I hit rollback. Shadow1 22:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Guess I wasn't paying attention to the day...;) --MarshallBagramyan 22:53, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism On My UserPage

Hi Lostintherush, just check out the vandalism on my userpage by a User:Vgowda. Please block him. ---Tipu Hero 05:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I request the admin to take cognizance of this. Also if we compare this and this, I dont see how Tipu Hero doesnt deserve to be blocked too. I hope VGowda wasnt blocked just because Tipu happened to complain first. Also look at Tipu's contribs it seems quite clear that the id is most probably somebody's sock created merely to write what he did. Sarvagnya 17:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Celebrity chef

You commented on the state of this article at DYK. The reason I included it was because its lead includes a definition of celebrity chef. Without such a definition there'd probably be trigger-happy people willing to dispute his chef status; so it's kind of crucial. Just so you know.- Mgm|^(talk) 17:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

G.T. Nanavati

First of all thanks for your help. Second a user has been insulting me on the talk page and adding unreliable sources to make it look like Justice Nanavati is an RSS activist. Bakaman _Bakatalk 22:55, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Baka, I if you call pointing out the fact that you were misrepresenting or not reading some of the links you provided there and elsewhere 'insulting', I think you're barking up the wrong tree. Also note that nowhere is there even the implication that the Justice was an RSS activist. Please, please stop being so confrontational, and trying to draw others into discussions that should be kept reasonable. Lost, I apologise for cluttering up your talkpage with this. Hornplease 03:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I was misrepresenting nothing. (Of course trying to pull a Sikh riot-Godhra switcharoo didnt work for Hornplease). Hornplease was using partisan "secular" sources to discredit Judge Nanavati, from sites that sahouldn't be quoted. Lostintherush made valuable contributions to the article which is why I asked him.Bakaman _Bakatalk 03:45, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

You're right, and I apologise. Lost did contribute and so you werent "drawing in" others, as I had said. And I didnt 'try' anything. I corrected myself about that [1] with the edit summary "correct section". Any further discussion of the Nanavati article should be on that talk page; I have written you a lengthy reply. And finally, the quotes I added to the article were two: one by the Gujarat CJ, and one by Nanavati himself in explanation. That was not discrediting him. Again, try choosing your words more carefully in discussions - as well as in articles! Hornplease 07:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
