Hi. I ask you to reconsider your stance on worker satisfaction lead mention at the Fastenal page. WP:LEAD and WP:WEIGHT are flexible enough to allow this mention. Please reconsider the fact that your opinion on what constitutes "important aspects of the article" may not be the best guide to acceptable content. Let's work together and make a better page.

Hi, just thought since you made the last warning at User talk:46.116.200.228 one that threatened a block, I'd point out this edit and let you decide whether it's worthy of your promise of a block (I've not undergone any training for blocking, so I consider myself not qualified to issue blocks). The edit here is the introduction of a fallacy into an article. Bob the WikipediaN ( talk • contribs) 16:42, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Muhandes, I would like to ask for your help.Recently I have uploaded a picture with all required information and copyright info to an article.I have explained copyright details which is in Farsi in English and warned against deleting this.But one of administrator deleted the image immediately without any clarification be forehead.If they don't know Persian they should ask for help from Persian community or administrator I guess.
"Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged"
I complained and they accused me of lying and vandalism and also they keep saying I bland my page when I receive warning.I have done this only once (in the case of warning) when I was trying to find a way to response to your request on images I have uploaded wrongly. Please if possible come to my talk page and read through discussions.I think this is my right to defend myself when I am accused of lying and vandalism without any proof.

Sure. I was going to discuss this with you. The main reason for my C class assessment was that the lead didn't include a concise summary of the article. I think they define the topic, establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable but do not summarize the most important points.
Do you think your leads are adequate? Sometimes when you have worked on an article a lot it can be difficult to create a concise summary. I will try Double Island Point Light which now has a short lead. - Shiftchange ( talk) 00:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

You have no basis for making such accusations and i will not stand for it. The fact is you have no idea what you are doing and it is apparent. I was the initial author of the tanglewood country club page and i went to great lenghts to make sure the page was accurate, detailed and provided history regarding the club and current events about the club. In the saem way a wiki page on baseball or congress would includ past and present members and employees for example, i have done the same here. Your unilateral determination that such information is not relevant reveals your ignorance. It is my position that it is YOU who is vandalizing wikipedia by engaging in pointless and obstructive tactics designed to give yourself total control over information. I beleive it is important that wikipedia take a good look at your efforts and ban you from participating in wikipedia edits into perpetuity. The bottom line is that you do not know what you are doing nor what is relevant on a given page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.234.110 ( talk) 21:47, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about the edit conflicts on the Reveal page, but since certifications were already being discussed in the prose (and there aren't many in the first place), there's really no need for a table there, so I converted it all to prose. Like I said, the table is best used for when you have to deal with a lot of certifications, kind of like how the chart tables are only really necessary if albums charted in a lot of countries.

Hi Muhandes,
I've changed the page according to your suggestions, remove the over-links.
And I want to change the title, because I think it not so appropriate to name that technology as "true single molecule sequencing", which covers a much wider range than this technology. It's better to call it "single molecule fluorescent sequencing". But I cannot find where to change the title.
Thanks. Have a nice day.

Hello. I have been creating redirects for all two-letter combinations followed by a period, and I found we had an existing red link to Wt. at the time I created its redirect to WT. Our article at Lasianthus lists Wt. as a notation. Knowing little about botany, I found through research that Wight, Wt. and RW are all notations variously used to denote Robert Wight, who did extensive botanical studies in India. Taking the example above, here are those variants:
As another example
"It is noted that Robert Wight (Ic. PI. Ind. Or. 4: 2, 1771. 1848) came across a similar plant probably at Sisparah on the Western slopes of Nilgiris (Tamil Nadu) as understood from the note he had given under L. trichandra Wt." -- Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences - 1978

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (
consensus discussion, guidelines for use at
WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true
. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false
in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.
For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot ( talk) 20:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Muhandes- With apologies, you are quite correct. We "shot" before we asked questions. And reverted your correct removal before checking rules or seeing your first objection. Addition was made for historical completeness not promotion. Seems AMP "Audio MPEG Player" should be linked to Tomislav Uzelac, cofounder of PlayMedia who already has an entry in Wikipedia. PlayMedia should probably have its own Wikipedia entry as its AMP was the basis of WinAmp (WinAmp was Windows + AMP) and MacAmp and powered Napster's MP3 playback.

Hi Muhandes,
I have provided the link for the bill that clearly states the required changes in the Act for the conversion. That bill is already passed in the Loksabha and pending in Rajyasabha. The bill includes all the new IITs and IT-BHU. Please note that that is the current state which should be shown in Wikipedia. Officially, none of the new IITs are officially IITs yet because they are not yet included in the Institutes of Technology Act-1961. Therefore, new IITs and IT-BHU should be treated at the same ground since their fates are at the same level. Given that, either we should say that there are seven IITs and nine proposed one (including IT-BHU) or just say total sixteen IITs. The former requires quite a lot of editing, so I preferred to stay with the latter. However, excluding IT-BHU from the proposed IITs list is misleading in the sense that it gives an impression that the ground of IT-BHU is different from other new IITs, which is not correct. Regarding what you think about the conversion, please note that wikipedia is not a place where you should be personal about providing information. We need to provide the current state in a manner that reflects the information in its true form. Your edits do not achieve that. In my edits, I never said that IT-BHU is an IIT. I have clearly mentioned that it is currently a faculty under BHU. The issue is, either you count all the new IITs and IT-BHU to say that there are sixteen IITs or you exclude all the new ones and differentiate between existing and proposed. May be you already know it; till the new IITs are included in the act, they cannot award B.Tech. degrees since they are registered under societies act. Like IIMs, they can only award diplomas. Therefore, as an IIT, the new IITs do not really meet the criteria of being called IITs. Also, I don't know why you feel the conversion of IT-BHU will take years when whole political body (ruling and opposition) along with the big shots like Rahul Gandhi, APJ Abdul Kalam and Pratibha Patil have given their supports for conversion. Now its just a matter of time which is also running out and Govt. must pass the bill as soon as possible, as the first batch in some IITs are about to pass out soon. Hope this clarifies the issues and the reasons I did the edits. Thanks for leaving the message. Good luck, Abhijeet 1998 ( talk) 15:54, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Some more clarifications about what you mentioned in your message to me. There aren't any list of requirements to be met anymore for conversions. The requirements have been already finalized before drafting the bill since the bill must mention the legal requirements. For details, please go through the bill. If you want chronology of all events that happened before the bill was drafted, please read the posts at http://www.itbhuglobal.org which is the webs site of IT-BHU alumni who have played crucial role in making this conversion a reality. Secondly, there is no ceremonial requirement after the conversion. Once the bill is passed, only thing remaining will be changing the sign boards and the official letter heads (I am not sure what you meant by ceremony. The one mentioned in the front page of IT-BHU is regarding convocation,i.e., awarding degrees. The reason they have delayed is so that the new graduate students can be awarded the degrees of IIT. Also, it is the prerogative of the institute to award IIT degrees to the alumni, like what Roorkee did after its conversion). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhijeet 1998 ( talk • contribs) 16:03, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Just, letting you know that I have left you a reply on my page, in case you have not added my page in your watchlist :). Thanks, Abhijeet 1998 ( talk) 17:44, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
This is with regards to your recent edits at Dreaming of You (album). The levels for Latin type of certifications in USA were amended in the beginning of 2008, they were reduced from previous Gold=100,000, Platinum=200,000 to Gold=50,000, Platinum=100,000, see this [ here]. And, when an older release gets certified or re-certified in USA, RIAA applies the newer certification-levels to it (for all types, not just Latin type). Actually, both RIAA and SNEP do the same, they both apply the most recent certification-levels when a record reaches present certification-levels regardless of its release date. So, for Dreaming of You, it should read 35x Platinum (Latin type)=3,500,000.-- Harout72 ( talk) 15:32, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
You are interpreting the statement correctly. But the trick is to always look at the issue date of certifications. In other words, Entre a Mi Mundo has received 6x Platinum before the amendment for 1,200,000 units (see where it reads Certification Date and immediately under that 12/17/2002), after the amendment, with newer levels, it automatically means 12x Platinum still for 1,200,000 units, even though they have not updated the posting. So in order for the template to work correctly, it has to be designed in a way that it is able to determine the figures by reading the certification-date. If it detects that the date of the certification is from after February 2008, the template should automatically use 2x platinum with 200,000. If it detects that the date of the certification is from before Feb. 2008, the template should automatically use the older levels with corresponding figures, 2x platinum with 400,000. Let me know please if this was helpful.-- Harout72 ( talk) 07:31, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I'm very certain about this, RIAA doesn't update every posting unfortunately when a change in levels occurs. Let me give you one other quick example of their updates, Elvis Presley's single "Hard Headed Woman" was originally certified Gold in 1958 for shipment/sales of 1 million units, then, not long after RIAA reduced the singles-threshold in 1989 from Gold=1,000,000, Platinum=2,000,000 to Gold=500,000, Platinum=1,000,000 (see this article for previous levels), RIAA updated quite a few of their original postings including Presley's "Hard Headed Woman". Note that they have only updated it by applying the newer certification level, Platinum, still representing 1,000,000 units, the date of the certification is changed. RIAA seems to update only the postings of those artists, another single/album of whose is receiving a new certification, see here Presley's other singles have received certifications on the same exact date they updated the level for "Hard Headed Woman".-- Harout72 ( talk) 15:41, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello Muhandes. I don't know if you saw on my talk page, but I've noticed that there was a certification for Spanish-language albums for the Hispanic market in the United States and for Puerto Rico. Apparently, certifications for these albums have existed before it was recognized by the RIAA. I've noticed for example in a citation that Romances, it states that it got a 9x platinum in United States and Puerto Rico. Another example I found was that Cuenta Conmigo by Jerry Rivera was triple platinum in Puerto Rico. Have a look and tell me what you think. Magiciandude ( talk) 04:07, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
