FR No, its not ready for FA I afraid. Iĺl be copyediting it to reduce redundant matter and the huge number of headings. =Nichalp «Talk»= 18:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC) Give me a week or so to copyedit. Thanks =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC) I doubt I'll get time to do it during the week. I'll be free over the weekend as this week is pretty busy for me. I suggest you ask Sundar if he is free to copyedit, if time is important to you. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks Pgk's RFA Thanks for your support on my request for adminship. The final outcome was (80/3/0), so I am now an administrator. I was flattered by the level of support and the comments, so I'm under real pressure not to disappoint, thus if you have any queries, suggestions or problems with any of my actions as an admin then please leave me a note --pgk(talk) 11:41, 8 January 2006 (UTC) Qwertysoup Hi there Shreshth91, Im SWD316. I would like for you to join in of the conversation about the above user at Wikipedia talk:Are You a Wikipediholic Test about his possible fake score on the test. I contacted you because you were one of the top scorers on the test, so you could probably tell if the score is fake or not. We would appriciate your input. SWD316 talk to me 21:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC) Welcome message Thanks for the welcome Leopod 17:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC) RfA thanks from rogerd File:Baseball (ball) closeup.jpg Hi Shreshth91- Thanks for your support on my RfA. I appreciate the kind words that you used in your comments. If I can be of any service please leave me a message --rogerd 01:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC) Awesome and amazing Hi Shreshth, just as I was about to embark on an RC Patrol I saw your userpage on the Recent Changes - My jaw dropped when I got to know that you're just 14. It tells me that you were not even born when I was in my 9th standard. No wonder you did a good job with Fundamental Rights etc. - CBSE syllabus, especially for Civics, is damn good and was my favorite in school. Just thought I should drop in a line, to commend you for the maturity you have shown beyond your age. And, all the best for a bright future, --Gurubrahma 13:31, 14 January 2006 (UTC) Please check Criticisms section in Constitution of India Please check the section of criticisms. I have kept one point while ommitted another for lack of parliamentary language to describe it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pizzadeliveryboy (talk • contribs) FR I've done some basic copyediting and dumped it at the Fundamental Rights of India. Its not complete. I don't think I'll be continuing for today, so I'll resume tomorrow. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:16, 15 January 2006 (UTC) That temp page in an article namespace is shunned by the community in favour of one's own userspace. I've left some comments embedded plz address them. I'm not sure how true the women thing is. I got it via email and I need to crosscheck the source. I don't know how much time I'll be having this week, so go ahead and add the layout as I have done by reducing the bold text. And yes, I've archived my page. I got 10 posts in 1 day :) =Nichalp «Talk»= 16:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Good luck on your test. I had a big hand to play in the Geography of India, so I hope it comes useful. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 17:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks a ton... ...for the barnstar! This is the first of its variety in my collection ;). btw, I have voted for Fundamental... for INCOTW - I think it would be the canddidate either next week or the week after that. I hope it will be improved to a better standard. Too bad 26th is very near, we should probably target August 15th as the date for this to appear as FA on the main page. --Gurubrahma 15:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks... Thank ye Shresht for protecting my userpage. I see that you are a fellow Colfer fan like me! Didnt know Arty was famous in India! Aurum protestes est P.S Are you a Marathi? अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey 17:40, 19 January 2006 (UTC) Fundamental duty I'll perform my "fundamental duty" soon. :-) -- Sundar \talk \contribs 04:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC) INCOTW Shreshth91, I live in US Pacific. It is not Saturday for us yet. :) Will update later today. - Ganeshk (talk) 18:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC) INCOTW You voted for Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles and Fundamental Duties of India, this week's Indian Colloboration of the Week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. - Ganeshk (talk) 23:44, 20 January 2006 (UTC) Artemis Fowl Well i'm simply appalled at the quality of Artemis Fowl articles. Even though the book wont have its own project page, could you help me rewrite most of the stuff here on the lines of HP articles? P.S I've just created template: {{Artemis Fowl}} अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey 18:40, 21 January 2006 (UTC) Oh well i created a project page. Wikipedia:WikiProject Artemis Fowl. Do sign up if you wanna help. अमेय आर्यन DaBroodey 19:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Your Wikiholic score Ahh. You passed me on the wikiholic Top 20. Lol. I know it's bad when someone passes my score. I'm going to retake the test purely for the fact I don't want to be that high anymore. Sadly, I think I'm always going to be that high. I haven't taken the test since August, so here I go! SWD316 talk to me 01:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC) *Silence* See the Top 20 SWD316 talk to me 02:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC) I honestly don't know. But I do know there was 100 more questions this time I took it. :-) SWD316 talk to me 15:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC) Inability Sorry Shreshth. I need to take a short break due to severe tooth problems. Will copyedit, if needed, when I return. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 04:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC) FAC Hi Shreshth91, I wanted to let you know that an article I've worked a lot on recently, the Political integration of India is now FAC. I hope you will have some time to consider the work and give it an up or down vote. Please don't consider this soliciting - I'm requesting your participation. Thanks! Rama's Arrow 04:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Re:PII and FR HI Shreshth91 - thanks for your vote of support on PII! My comments and suggestions on FR are mainly derived from my experiences on peer review and presently FAC on PII. In my opinion you should watch both PII and Kerala FACs to get a feel for the comments, problems and support to expect when you put this baby up for it. Rama's Arrow 17:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Lawmaking procedure in India Hi there! I don't base my Wikipedia actions on the future of the article; I base them on the article that I (and any other visitors) can read. The current, one-sentence article ought not to exist; things that link to it would better link to Indian government. If you don't agree, feel free to explain why - on the talk page, as the template suggests. -Ikkyu2 16:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Ah, I see you're updating it right now, and that it's going to be more comprehensive than would be appropriate under the Legislative Branch section of the Indian government article. I withdraw the suggestion. -Ikkyu2 16:25, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Lothal PR Hi Shreshth91, I know you're busy with PR on FR of India, but I hope you'll have some time to check out this article which I've expanded recently. Your closer knowledge of Indian history will aid considerably in its improvement. Happy R-Day (and 76th anniversary of Independence) in the homeland! Jai Sri Rama! Rama's Arrow 21:21, 25 January 2006 (UTC) Greetings Greetings on India’s 57th Republic Day. --Bhadani 08:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC) You dont like my name Fine, then change it to SuperDeng Just tell me in advance before it happens and tell me the exact time of the change Deng 27-01-06 00.00 CET So cool to have you here I am from Ahmedabad, and I am studying law. I came up to be a wikipedian only a few days ago, and since then I have been trying my best to be of good help to this great organisation. I was surprised when I saw your profile, which states that you are only 14 years old! Keep up with your good work, and you would soon be having an article written, by one of your fans, about how big a prodigy you are...!! Anirudh Image Tagging Image:Star of life.gif This image is exempt from copyrights. The image has a source and I believe that websie created. That image is in the public domain as it is avalible on many ambulances, ER uniforms, and even on ER rooms. Tell me you were kidding with that warning. --Cool CatTalk|@ 11:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC) Star of Life was created in 1973 by Leo R. Schwartz, Chief of the Emergency Medical Services branch at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to avoid juridic problems related to the use of derivatives of the Red Cross (like orange cross, green cross, etc.). The Star of Life was registered as a certification mark on February 1, 1977. Image is PD because it was created by a US gov employee. Image was created to evade copyright and juridic problems. Hence by nature... it is designed to evade copyright problems. Geez. --Cool CatTalk|@ 12:13, 31 January 2006 (UTC) I haven't seen that sort of ambulance star before, cause I'm in India and here we have a different type of cross. Anyways, the img was tagged as no copyright information, and so I thought I'd asked you. I'm sorry to here you're leaving. So many users are leaving nowadays (freestylefrappe, SWD316 and now you).--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 12:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC) I highly recomend checking history of an image to see if the tag was modified, which was the case for this image. --Cool CatTalk|@ 12:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC) SWD316 Hi Shreshth91, I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry if you thought that me leaving was directed from your comment. It wasn't. I have just been under some real-life stress and difficulties that I haven't resolved yet. I hope I didn't offend you with anything I said. I think your a great guy too. I was just upset that you mentioned something as insignificant as the WP:HOLICTEST test on my RFA, among the other things brought up there (ex: my fake new messages box is another topic on my RFA I was mad about). I also contacted you to let you know that I am reconsidering staying with Wikipedia but as of now, I am leaving until my real-life situation is fixed. SWD316 talk to me 03:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC) Me Yeah, I know I'm inactive and I don't know if or when I'll ever get to my 2004-2005 activity levels. I will try and pop in once a while, though there's also a possibility of me taking a long and extended wikibreak. On the other hand I'm glad that the Indian editor group has increased, bringing along a spurt in Indian FAs, something which I loved to produce. Anyways, best of luck in your contributions here in WP. Regards, =Nichalp «Talk»= 08:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC) Thank you For your kind support of my Rfa, which passed. If you should ever have any complaints about my admin actions, please let me know. Also, should you ever need my help with anything, please do not hesitate to ask! Thanks again! All the best Banez 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC) Thank you! (And may the force be with you too.) Cheers My RFA Hi Shreshth91/Archive4, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Wikipedia may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC) Inactive? You'll be gone for 3 years??? =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:07, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Hi Shreshth91 - wishing you the best of luck for your exams - prelims, boards, etc. I know personally its a lot of pressure, but you've got a great mind and a long line of well-wishers here. You've made a wise sacrifice by reducing activity now. We support you. Jai Sri Rama! Rama's Arrow 07:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC) My RFA My admin request went up in flames. (But thanks anyways!) Hey, Shreshth91 (he with the awesome 1337 signature), I wanted to thank you for your support of my (unfortunately unsuccessful) request for adminship. The final tally was 37/16/5, which fell short of the needed 75-80% for "consensus". {{{2}}} I don't know if or when I'll go up for nomination again, but even if I don't, I will try not to betray the trust that you and 36 others were willing to place in me. Thanks for having faith in me... and happy editing! Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 00:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC) RFA Hi, just wanted to thank you for voting on my RFA, which went through with a count of (58/0/1), far better than I'd expected. I intend to take things slowly and start using the extra abilities gradually, but if there's anything I can do just leave a message. Cheers, CTOAGN (talk) 13:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC) Joke's RfA Hi Shreshth91, thanks for your support in my (successful) RfA! –Joke 16:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC) My RfA Thank you for your comments on my request for adminship. It ultimately succeeded with votes of 52/1/2, but I wish to take any constructive comments into account and to ultimately improve my contributions to Wikipedia. Should you have any questions, comments, complaints, or requests at any point in the future, please do not hesitate to let me know on my talk page or via e-mail. —bbatsell ¿? 05:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Wikipedians leaving Hi Shreshth91. I saw your message on your user page about how we need to stop running off the users like freestylefrappe, Cool Cat and myself. Just to let you know Cool Cat and me have decided to stay on Wikipedia! Freestyle frappe on the other hand I think is gone for good. :-( In even more depressing news, you should see the Wikipedia:Esperanza/Alerts page. Users: Carbonite, Aaron, El_C, Pilotguy, Radiant!, and Aranda56 have all left Wikipedia! Now thats depressing. SWD316 talk to me 06:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Adminship Vote I want to sincerely thank you for voting on my successful adminship nomination. Whenever I mess up, please let me know. I want to learn from my mistakes so they don't become patterns. Superm401 - Talk 07:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks Thanks for supporting my RfA. It was successful and I hope to be a good administrator. Essexmutant 11:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks File:Plunger 250x410.jpg Thanks for taking the time to vote in my RfA, which passed with a final vote of 54/2/1 despite my obvious inadequacy for the job. I'll do my level best to use the mop and bucket — or, as I said in my RfA, plunger — responsibly. Of course, in the best tradition of politicans everywhere, I've already broken a campaign promise (I blocked a vandal last night despite having said "I don't anticipate using the blocking tool very often"). Nevertheless, I'll try not to let the unbridled power corrupt me. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 14:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC) Thank you Hello Shreshth91, thank you for you support in my RfA. I was promoted with a final count of 48/1/0! If you see me making any mistakes, let me know ASAP. -- WB 02:33, 15 February 2006 (UTC) Hello I noticed that you made a small list of people who left Wikipedia due to disappointment in Wikipedia, etc. in User:Shreshth91/My Opinion Page. There's something like it at Wikipedia:Missing Wikipedians already, but I thought I'd make a small list User:Water Bottle/sandbox with the recent rise probably due to those userbox wars. So many are leaving... Anyways, if you're interested, feel free to add on to that list. I thought you'd be interested on it. Cheers! -- WB 09:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC) ohk..i understand hi...listen dude...ur rite..its a bit biased..i'l definitely make some changes but its a fact dat dps mr hs a lustrous alumni..n stuff..n dt we are original dipsites..aftrall it ws d first dps...i'l erase dt last line abt d mms thingy...n make it more informational...bt d rest of it is fine n smthn dt ppl need 2 kno..aftrall dere r so many dps's all ova d world..n dere's smthn kmown as freedom of speech n xpression..so..now we hv a deal..ok..i'l change ma article n u stop ur deletin drive..ok. WP:RFA/Quarl Hi Shreshth, thanks for participating in my AFD, which succeeded. While you voted neutral, I hope I will not disappoint you. If I can ever improve or help in any way, please let me know! :) —Quarl (talk) 2006-02-16 12:28Z My RfA Thanks for your vote My request for adminship passed with a final result of 78/2/0. Hopefully I will live up to everyone's expectations. Please ask if I can ever help out with anything in the future. Martyman - 09:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC) My RfA Thanks for voting! Although this is a bit late in coming, I want to thank you for voting (no matter what your vote was) in my recent request for adminship. You might be aware that it did not pass due to a lack of consensus. The final tally was 21/9/10. I think I will try again this spring or summer after I have gained a bit more experience and met a few more fellow editors. Thanks again! --MatthewUND(talk) 05:38, 23 February 2006 (UTC) My final good-byes Hello Shreshth91. I came to tell all my friends, yes, that means you, that I am leaving Wikipedia. Thank you for being so kind to me during my stay on Wikipedia. I hope to speak with you again someday. (I was formerly SWD316, if you wanted to know) Moe ε 06:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC) Come out and play Shreshth! Come and play some day. You and aaronsw too... Cheers, +sj + 19:01, 28 February 2006 (UTC) Whoops, I think I have you confused with someone else (whom I met with aaron a while back). Sorry for the confusion; but greetings all the same. +sj + 02:40, 15 March 2006 (UTC) Holi greetings Hi, I am wishing you a happy Holi, the unique Hindu celebration of color and brotherhood among all members of the humanity. The festival falls on 15th March 2006. I have collected A Gift Pack of Quotations for you contained in the sections Do things Differently & Something More , which are part of the on-going discussion pertaining to my nomination of Idleguy for adminship. You are aware of the tradition that if you throw colored water on flames of burning Holika, you enable a Prahlad to emerge from the flames!!! I again convey Holi greetings to you and your family!!! --Bhadani 16:21, 4 March 2006 (UTC) Happy Holi and welcome back! -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Thanks for the greeting & nice to see you back, wish you a very happy holi too. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Back for a bit? Are you done studying? They should announce your return on the main page! Welcome back. -- Samir (the scope) 09:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Hello Holi greetings to you. What about your exams.? --Bhadani 12:20, 13 March 2006 (UTC) Happy Holi Wishing you a very Happy Holi. Exams over? Jisha C J 12:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
