Thank you!

Thanks for the encouragement. I will continue to do my best for wikipedia and probably will try again months later. Good luck to you too! =) Wooyi 03:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

No prob, as I said; your situation is common. One of these days I might nominate you. Thanks, Cheers buddy. ~ Arjun 03:22, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I am fine Arjun.

Thanks, I am fine Arjun. The changes in Hinduism is going very fast and I have no knowledge of most of these changes. My feelings of contributing has been low so not checking either history or talk page. I will see one day when I have mood to do.

Business is ok. No problem but have to attend to some court matters so the mind has been diverted.

Thanks of the concern.

Buddhism

Gee, thanks Arjun. That book sounds pretty cool! Yeah, it all started when I went to a shop at the mall, Scents of Nature. It has a whole bunch of statues of Buddha, and they look pretty cool! So, I've been doing research on Buddhism. I just might be a Buddhist... ;) Thanks again, Arjun! ¡Adíos! ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 03:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I like the laughing Buddha. He's so jolly and full of life. I've got an incense burner that has laughing Buddha on it. I rub his belly for good luck. :D PS the first religions I heard of was of course, Christianity and Catholicism. But...I choose not to be either one. I wanna follow my own religions. Well, buh-bye! ♥Tohru Honda13♥ 03:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

HeBhagawan

Frankly speaking I am not happy of HeBhagawan's disappearance. All I wanted him to be free from possessiveness of the article. He could be there in some other name. swadhyayee 07:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

My User Page

62.24.230.229 left this[[1]] very offensive personal attack on my user page yesterday. I see no action has been taken yet on this user yet, although another user with who vandalised my page at virtually the exact same time was banned. Mabye you could take a look for me? Thanks. JFBurton 11:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay sadly I can't do anything about this. I am not an administrator, however I gave the IP a test2, if it vandlaizes again put a test3 on the page, and etc. I looked into it, and from my judgement I think it is the same person editing from different IP's, as the vandalism was identical and around the same time. Cheers and let me know if you have any questions. ~ Arjun 14:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, I thought you were an administrator. Sorry about that. I think it was two people from differnet computers, communicating through msn or something like that. There are a few people I know (in the real world!) that do that to me and Billlion quite regularly. Anyway, sorry to bring you into this. JFBurton 17:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey no prob buddy, I must be doing something right if users start thinking I am an admin. :). Well anyway, I will keep an eye on things, I will put your page on my watchlist, Cheers! ~ Arjun 17:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes you must, the reason I asked you is because you were one of the people who judged my administration proposal last week. I thought only admins could do it, but I figured you were a well-established user, unlike me! JFBurton 18:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah I see, I forgot, well you have been civil lately, and personally I think that you could be an admin in the future. Just keep up the good vandal fighting work and everything will work its way out :). Cheers! ~ Arjun 18:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, thats given me at least some hope! Someone ought to nominate you for administration. JFBurton 21:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Re.Glad you are helping

Heh, tell me about it... :-) Looks like users are spam targets too now [2]. Geez... Cheers, Húsönd 02:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way, tomorrow there'll be a parachuting RFA here so you better start thinking about your answers to the standard questions. :-) Húsönd 02:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

RfA

If I was an administrator, I wouldn't put myself in stressful situations. And it's not that I can't handle stress. It's more that I'm not good with disagreements. ~ Flameviper ^{Who's a Peach?} 17:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, my opposition still stays for other reasons (including mine) and per others. Also stressful situations are literally unavoidable being an admin, just think about the work you are going to do...and how your decisions will effect others. ~ Arjun 21:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense... ~ Flameviper ^{Who's a Peach?} 21:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Clarification

I am the commons user Commons:User:Arjun. Thanks, while I am close to 100 edits on commons I don't. Here I have 9000 +. Cheers! ~ Arjun 19:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the congrats and thanks for the Strong Support. Sorry i did not accept your nomination first. I personally felt ready but figured the community would not feel I was ready. After my 3rd offer, I figured the community thought i would be ready! Thanks again -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:31, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

When that time comes I would glady nominate or co-nominate you. Just let me know! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 20:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Rewelcoming

Thanks for the rewelcoming (did I just make up a new word? Must check later)! It feels good to know that I'm loved (loosely used if you want to interpret it that way) here, not that I'm not loved here (this here is real life). Thanks a bunch o' bananers and congrats on having 9.000 better edits than me :)! —¡Randfan!^{Sign here?} 20:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I was going to tell the others the same, but my screen's print is small and whatever I do it won't change. I've tried readjusting the font sizes on y screen but it doesn't work. I've tried everything to make it bigger (except the one right thing) but it won't hae any effect. I'm surprised I could read what you said so plese excuse me for any spelling errors that I can't see.

Image

Was the room dark? If so, that was probably the problem (flash sometimes fixes it though). That's why professional photographers have super expensive flashes mounted on their cameras, or have a studio. | AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 21:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

If it wasn't dark, it could have been that the ISO was too high. Does your camera allow you to set that? | AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 21:09, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

ISO allows more light to come in through the lens, but pictures are grainier the higher it is. Since pictures with high shutter speed usually come out dark, faster ISO is needed. Take this picture for example, it had to be taken quickly, but would have been too dark without high ISO. Result, the picture isn't dark, it's fast enough to have captured the shell, but there is grain. Since you "didn't mess with it", the camera probably chose it automatically (maybe that part of the room didn't have enough light). | AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 21:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think there's a problem with flash; it's better to see it grainy than to not see it at all, right? ^{By the way, the "A" and "O" in my sig are large because of "A" and "Ω".} And don't worry about grainy pictures (I have a folder full of them, as well as many more image problems...) | AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 21:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Umm, hey there Arjun. I've already supported you, but was it the right time to do it, or was everything still in construction? I hope it's okay. Good luck!♥Tohru Honda13♥ 03:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Arjun

Hi, Seadog/Arjun. I added additional questions to your RfA page regarding administrative conduct. I already supported you, but I wanted the community to know that you will be a good administrator (even though I am new to Wikipedia). I have seen your edits in action and feel that it is necessary for you to become an administrator because I know that you will be fair one. Real96 20:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Doh...Sorry for taking long to get back at ya. I have been *very* busy. I will look into the questions and answer them a little later. Cheers and thanks for your kind words :). ~ Arjun 23:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

RfA

Yeah, it always happens when it's a unanimous RfA and someone decides to !vote the user. Whatever, hopefully people won't continue to criticize Anwar for his vote.

And hahahahahahahaha...that IP vote should have been counted lol. Nishkid64 00:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Arjun, I wouldn't normally make such a fuss over oppose votes, but you should see the history of the user. His block log, for example, shows he has been blocked for racist comments. The last RfA he commented in, Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Srikeit 2, was back in July. Users again replied to his oppose, and there were comments including "...Anwar saadat votes against any Indian RFA, FAC, FPC and whenever there is an Indian FARC or something he always votes to delist, without fail. He has had very bad relations with the Indian WikiProject." The "Diablo Test" is just an excuse to oppose you either because you are Indian, or at least one of your nominators or supporters are. That's why I'm making such a fuss, I can't stand racism. I'll say no more about it now though. ;) --Majorly _{(o rly?)} 01:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

A quick check-in from an airport and....

A lightning check-in from an airport internet kiosk and lo and behold I find your RfA. I threw my 2 pennies in. It'll be all over by the time I meet up with you again. It doesn't look like you have too many worries. Congrads. I will chat with you in a week or 2(or 3 or 4 :) ) Cheers and take care. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 01:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikireligion

Hi Arjun! Would you like me to help you out with the community portal on Wikireligion? RyGuy Sign Here! My Journal 14:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I wish to complain about user "AndonicO"

I've made a valid edit to the Pope John Paul II web page, which completely blows the official cover up line out of the water, and AndonicO, deletes it, and accuses me of vandalism....the cheek of it. Here is my text:

Vandal, what are you talking about? My addition (see below), is what really, happened, I was there. The official line is just a cover story.

On March 31, 2005 the Pope John Paul II died after a bizarre incident, which began in the early hours the of the 31st. One witness stated "It was insane, I was woken at 5:00 am, by the sounds of ungodly music, which I now know to be the Status Quo hit, "Rockin' All Over The World". I followed the dreadful sounds, and found that they were eminating from the Pontiff's quarters, I tentatively opened his holinesses door, to a scene that will haunt me for the rest of my days. Several Cardinals were trying unsuccessfully, to calm an overtly hysterical Pontiff (over the din of the music), who was leaping vigourously about his mattress, performing what one could only describe as the heretical act of "Air Guitar". The cardinals were trying desparately to reach the stereo system by the Pontiff's bedside, but the Holy Father would thwart their actions by hurling chocolate Maltezers at the hapless clergymen, and sometimes, at the more determined, the more weighty Cadbury Cream Egg. It was when the music track changed from Status Quo, to Wings, 70s hit, "Jet", I had calmed from the initial shock, and sheltered from the barrage of flying chocolate, that I noticed the chocolate smeared liberally around the pointiff's face, hands and pyjamas, and that his usual night time attire had been replaced by a Motley Crue t-shirt. The situation swiftly turned from bad to worse, Cardinal Josef Ratzinger tried to remind the Ponitff of the day's duties, in an effort to calm his frantic behaviour, upon which, his holiness John Paul II, turned his back on Ratzinger, and bared his buttocks to the unsuspecting Cardinal, and then, when all those present, thought the Pontiff's madness could not descend any further, the Pope, placed his hands around his buttocks, and like a ventriloquist's dummy began to feign talking through his bared behind. In a deep rasping voice, he announced "I'm ready to receive my sacrament", and laughed, in that same evil rasping fashion as his put-on voice. It was like a scene from the Exorcist, the air was blue, and all of us were nearly sick....I wretched a couple of times, but nothing came up, Ratzinger however, made the sign of the Cross, and fainted. It was when the Pontiff reached for the "Ferrero Rocher", that the sick, disgusting, situation came to an end, in an act of utter of depravity, the Holy Father, attempted to pour the entire box, into his open mouth, alas it was too much, and God's Representative on Earth, collapsed, choking and gasping for air. With his last breath, he uttered the words "Errrgghhheerergghghrhfhgheehghghehhhhhhhhh......", before streams of molten chocolate dribbled from the sides of the late John Paul II's mouth.....I have not celebrated Easter, or eaten a single bite of chocolate since".

A tragic end, to a blessed life. One can only guess at the erstwhile Pontiff's final words, possibly a salient, incisive message of peace, and unity, to all creeds, races and religions. John Paul II rest in peace, you've found your stairway to heaven. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.244.149.133 (talk) 16:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

I'd say it a little more than "weakish" vandalism, but looking through his contribs, I agree that T3 was a little harsh. It should have been a T2 instead. Thanks for your help! · AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 17:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

copy pasting message posted on my talk page.

Hello, Arjun! I was just looking at the Shakti page, and I would think that the best translation of Shakti would be Energy, the electric sparks within our brains that urge us to fulfill Saraswati's tasks--I personally feel that Saraswati is the Patron Goddess of Wikipedia:). Also, could you please go to the ishta-devata page and give a balanced hindu description of what the Ishta-Devata means in a Hindu's daily life. The article was very Jainist the last time I looked at it, so perhaps you could provide proper meanings? Om Shanti, ॐ--Snowgrouse 00:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Swadhyayee (talk • contribs) 02:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
