Thanks for your support on my successful Request for Adminship (final result 78 Support /0 Oppose / 1 Neutral) I have now been entrusted with the mop, bucket and keys. I will be slowly acclimating myself to my new tools over the next months. I am humbled by your kind support and would certainly welcome any feedback on my actions. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Once again, many thanks and happy new year! All the best, Asteriontalk 13:29, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Confused
Hi. Thank you for your comments on my RfA. I was a bit confused by one of your comments. You state that "Also WP:BIO candidates are not speedy candidates." I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps I misunderstand the A7 category. I would appreciate any clarification. Thanks --BostonMA talk 15:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Um, it meant that AfD candidates are not speedy candidates. Regards, — Nearly Headless Nick 10:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Welcome
I prefer to keep my welcome messages as non-subst templates so that I can see a list at Special:Whatlinkshere/User:Andrevan/welcome of all the users I've welcomed. Andre (talk) 19:18, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi! According to me, this edit (specially Crypto-Christians) doesn't adhere to WP:NPOV. The editor had added similar stuff to Christianity in India, but was reverted. The data presented in the tables do not match with the official India census records. We can't even access data from the World Christian Encyclopedia (2001) by David B. Barrett, et al. as its not in public domain. Can you suggest stance in these controversial topics? --Victor 20:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- I respectfully suggest dispute resolution. --Nearly Headless Nick 12:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll give it a try. --Victor 18:44, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

IIPM Article
Hi Sir Nick, You'd responded to a messae I'd left on User:Ganeshk talk page, regarding the IIPM article. I am quoting below:
IIPM Controversy Ganesh ji The IIPM Controversy section is clearly not in line with Wikipedia:Verfiability and Wikipedia: NPOV. Please can you suggest to me how we can improve this>? Iipmstudent9 05:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Pseudo-AFD question for RfA
You have a pseudo AFD at User:Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington/Desk/AfD, that you used for posing a question in BostonMA's RfA. Another user there commented [5] that this AFD page triggered a content filter on his computer. If you intend to repeat use of the question, could you create/find some similar AFD that wouldn't trigger a content filter? There ought to be one around that is equally challenging, but doesn't trigger content filters. GRBerry 15:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'll keep that in mind for the future. --Nearly Headless Nick 09:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Er I think you misread my meaning and also what side in this dispute I'm on. :-) --Spartaz 16:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC) Just to be clear this is your edit that I'm referring to
- One revert is not equal to "edit-warring". Edit-warriors get blocked. Dmcdevit, certainly did not edit-war over the page. Your frequent assumptions of bad faith are waaay out of line. --Nearly Headless Nick 15:34, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Um, I'm getting stick for referring to some of those bringing the RFC as being vindictive, showing poor judgement amnd just being plain nasty. Are you sure you have the right editor? --Spartaz 16:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- That message was not directed at you. --Nearly Headless Nick 09:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Stupid question
I can't believe you would have created an AfD in your userspace, and then asked a prospective RfA candidate to close it properly. I admit, I'm in a quandary, trying to decide who to be more disgusted with, you for having done so, on both counts, or him for having spouted such a lot of mealymouthism in order to not inadvertently piss off anyone reading it. This, as you know, is completely inappropriate, as it deliberately bypasses WP:AFD, aka, "the proper channels". Almost worse, is your asking someone whose WikiLife, as it were, hangs in the balance, to go and "catastrophically" edit your own WikiSpace. Far worse than that, of course, is the pandering response your request elicited, but still... What on earth were you thinking?! Op'n eck fæ Påstals, Tomertalk 07:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- The word "stupid" is veeery subjective. In case you apply the appropriate policies and guidelines over the issue; you'll arrive at an answer which is above the so-called "consensus" thing. Feel free to remove this ridiculous thread from my talk page, in case you are more disgusted. Chao. --Nearly Headless Nick 09:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

What's the logic behind your latest revert?Shashankgupta 12:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- You need to leave edit-summaries, dear; and/or discuss on the talk page of the article before removing large contents of an article. Cheers! — Nearly Headless Nick 12:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your consideration
Thank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. You were one of the oppose votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 03:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, it appears to be the custom for individuals to send out thank-you's after an RfA, whether it succeeds or not. I am nearly through. Do you have an objection to me completing the list. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 12:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Spammer
Just being bold. I know the procedure wasn't perfect, but IMHO these accounts are clearly only there for spamming. I seriosuly doubt this is someone who could be coaxed into making useful edits, so I didn't see the point of wasting more dev-t playing the cat and mouse game with him, waiting for him to spam before putting another warning, then waiting a bit more etc... Feel free to unblock if you think this is biting. Cheers. yandman 10:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Whilst I'm here
Whilst I'm here, could you have a look at Liveandyetdie4 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)? This editor seems to have decided that all content she adds must bear her signature. All the filenames bear her name, and then she started inserting captions saying "photo by Alina Rucai", and now she's watermarking the bloody things! I've tried to contact her, but there have been no replies. The fact that she re-uploaded images, adding the watermark, makes me sure this person is just trying to promote herself in this way. I think the images should be deleted (I'm removing them from the articles). Thanks yandman 11:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Could you take this to WP:ANI, please. I believe it would be dealt fairly there. — Nearly Headless Nick 11:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry
Certainly didn't mean to insult anybody; it was supposed to be a backwards compliment. ^_^;; Oh well. --Masamage 17:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I would ask you to reconsider this block. IMHO, it is far too harsh for a new user who may be unaware of how Speedy Deletion works. Asteriontalk 10:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think it was a new user. He was stalking another user – [6], with a possible intent to disrupt. In case you don't feel so, feel free to unblock. — Nearly Headless Nick 10:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- I see. I'm trying to reason with him. If I see any signs of good will, I would unblock and reblock for 24 h with your permission. Regards, Asteriontalk 11:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hello. I happened across this exchange just before rainbowangie started to post. I think you should take into account the other user's experience with wikipedia as well. He was using the incorrect tags and marking articles for speedy deletion when he really just meant to mark them as unreferenced or with a prod. His account is also only a few days old as well. Very strange situation. I was amazed at how quickly rainbowangie was blocked tho. PaulC/T+ 11:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- He was reported on WP:AIV. Try reasoning with him, and if he sounds OK, unblock him. — Nearly Headless Nick 11:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- That is funny because I was thinking of reporting LibearyGay there for his edits as well, but I didn't think anyone would understand the issue. It is ironic that another user who saw the same problem got posted there for taking matters into their own hands... I'd unblock rainbowangie, but I'm not an administrator. PaulC/T+ 11:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- At the risk of being told off for not assuming good faith, I would say that both accounts look pretty much like single purpose. I have left messages on both and I am awaiting answers. Asteriontalk 11:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- If you do not mind, I will unblock and watch. Asteriontalk 11:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Karl Meier
Hi Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, If you have time and if you could on that possibility of redirecting a page without going to AfD on the talk page of this page [ http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Image_of_Muhammad_in_the_West], that would be appreciated. Thanks --Aminz 11:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- The "article" is nothing more than a copy of the most biased version of a section in the Muhammad article. If you are interested, please see the discussion regarding this on the articles talk page. -- Karl Meier 11:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- The article is just created. It can not be removed and I don't think it is biased. --Aminz 11:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am not able to comprehend what you want me to do, Aminz. Can you elaborate on what you said above? — Nearly Headless Nick 11:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I recently created an article Image of Muhammad in the West because this topic is encyclopedic (e.g. Britannica Encyclopedia has an article on the same topic). I started this article and a section for that on the Muhammad page. Karl Meier is however redirecting the page to Muhammad. I think any redirection of a page into another one should be done through AfD process and editors can not do it themselves. All I am asking is for Karl Meier to fill an AfD form rather than edit warring on redirecting the page. I would appreciate if you could comment on that. Thanks --Aminz 11:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I absolutely agree. This should be taken to AfD. Also, edit-warring is not helpful, so be careful. — Nearly Headless Nick 11:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks very much Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington. --Aminz 11:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- As it is actually not a new article, but just a POV fork of a section in the Muhammad (a highly biased section that Aminz wrote), I believe as I have mentioned on the talk page, that simply redirecting it to the Muhammad article is the right thing to do. -- Karl Meier 11:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Please fill an AfD and let the community decide. Thanks --Aminz 11:37, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is nothing to decide about. There is just an attempt be you to have your biased version of a section in the Muhammad article published elsewhere. -- Karl Meier 11:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am not mediating any dispute. A proper course would be to take this to WP:AFD. — Nearly Headless Nick 11:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Unprotect request for Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy
Hello. I don't know if you have Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy on your watchlist, but you protected it a while back during an edit war, and an IP is asking on the talk page for it to be scaled back to semi-protect. Probably unprotect would be more appropriate. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
