Happy Diwali to you too. Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 02:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Umm.. sorry about my "stupidity". I did a copy-and-paste job at an unmentionable hour and then fell asleep (at my computer). I completely forgot about the Werdnabot thing -- my sincere apologies! Thank you very much for taking care of that for me. o'_'o — Editor at Large^(speak) 18:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, Shreshth91. The judges would like to announce that the winner for the Esperanza User Page Contest has been chosen. Congratulations to MacGyverMagic for winning the contest. The winning entry can be found here.

If you'd like to participate in the contest again, check by the contest page in a few days and sign up. See you around. Daniel.Bryant 10:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shreshth91, I removed this from the mainpage, as it may create confusion - it indicates that anyone can add them, which may lead to doubling up. Not to mention some of them require some experience to use (paramters {{{1}}} etc.), which new users who don't understand the set-up may not understand. If a new spammer takes my place, maybe that is when we can give the link, but leaving it on the main WP:ESP/UPA page is asking for trouble. Done the latest round of spamming, by the way. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 10:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You enlarged the image size to 101px. But the problem is that earlier it was displaying properly on my browser, and now it doesn't. I'm not too sure if I should revert it, but if it works for you, I guess I'll wait. Cheers! --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 14:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is odd. Earlier today, it wasn't working on my screen at 100px, but appeared fine at 105px or 101px. Now it's not working at any dimensions. I've reverted it back to your version. Hope it's showing alright on your screen. Thank you for letting me know, Shreshth91. Please go ahead and change things as you see fit. -- PFHLai 14:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shreshth. I can't see the picture too. There is something wrong. I checked the history of T:DYK, and I cannot see the picture in the previous versions too. I checked with IE, and it shows a blank space with the red 'x' sign at the top on the main page, but when I open the image separately in a window, it looks fine. - Aksi_great (talk) 14:49, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to Aksi great, I've enlarged the DYK to 110px. It seems to work fine on my screen now. Hope it's working on yours. -- PFHLai 15:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It stopped working again. I've refreshed DYK with new entries and the new pic seems to work fine on my screen. I hope this is the end of the problem. -- PFHLai 17:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shreshth, thanks for the Diwali greetings. Hope you had a cracking Diwali. I was offline for most of last week as I had gone to my hometown.. -- Lost^(talk) 13:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shreshth - thanks for your input. I will answer point by point:

1. "Jawwad Ali Khan" was like a royal name. Notable examples include Shaista Khan and Islam Khan. I've added this mention[1]
2. Also fixed the tutor thing.
3. I'm afraid I couldn't find any Urdu translations of those titles. I could suggest catching hold of someone who knows Urdu or digging up the words in a dictionary yourself, but I would avoid that in case you somehow come up with an altered translation/meaning, which would violate WP:OR.
4. Yes the Mutiny booklet was his most famous work[2].
5. Muslim political power in India is minimal - your POV. The statement you mention asserts that Sir Syed helped create a Muslim political class. Before he did, there were no Muslim politicians/leaders, but his work helped create Muslim political bodies and leaders, whose mission was to secure Muslim power. Also, Sir Syed's life is quite far apart from partition, which was first asserted by Iqbal in 1930. Its not correct to make the assumption that he wanted partition, but it is true that he saw Muslims as a separate cultural, political group.
6. The Order of the Star of India was a different title during India's time as a colony of the empire. Its not the same as the OBE/MBE. Rama's arrow 18:22, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much my friend Shreshth91 for the barnstar. My very best wishes for you.--Dakota 04:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I started my second editor review, I had no idea how greatly helpful it would be to me. Here are people from across the world who I've never met or laid eyes upon, taking their personal time to think about me and offer me valuable criticism and advice. And the stuff I've learnt is more helpful in real life than just on Wikipedia. This is an experiment I will never forget. I thank you most sincerely for your kindness, for helping me be a better person. I am very much in your debt. Rama's arrow 15:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm proposing a major change related to WikiProject India. I'm trying to build a consensus. Your suggestions/views/ideas are very much valued. Please talk about it here. Cheers. -- Chez ^{(Discuss / Email)} • 06:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Shreshth. I really like the three quotes you have there, but I couldn't help but notice that you have changed it. About three weeks ago it was differant. I liked the other one as well, and I wanted to ask you why you don't store interesting quotes like that in a subpage, as Seadog has User:Seadog.M.S/More Quotes that you can edit also. It's just a suggestion, but I thought it would be interesting. | AndonicO Talk 16:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shreshth!

Nothing spectacular: Paint Shop Pro, The GIMP, EyeCandy and about 4000 fonts (I'm a bit of a typeface queen). Want one? Let me know what you want it to say and your favourite colours and I'll happily provide. Cheers! ➨ ЯEDVERS 19:32, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration in Bhutan deals with issues relating to the ethnic communities of Nepal. The factual presentation of the article are inaccurate at places UNHCR states that Lhotsampas have been staying in Bhutan from 19th century whereas the article states it to be of 20th century.

While the intent of the policy was benign and inclusive, the government not totally unreasonably, implied that the 'culture' to be preserved would be that of the northern Bhutanese. This policy therefore required citizens to wear the attire of the northern Bhutanese in public places and reinforced the status of Dzongkha as the national language. Nepali was discontinued as a subject in the schools thus bringing it at par with the status of the other languages of Bhutan, none of which are taught. Such policies were criticized at first by human rights groups as well as Bhutan's Nepalese economic migrant community, who perceived the policy to be directed against them. The Nepali immigrants claim that the Bhutanese are clinging to power at the expense of human rights, pluralism, and democratic principles. However many in Bhutan see the ethnic Nepali immigrants’ cry for pluralism and democracy as just an excuse to overwhelm and take over a lightly populated Bhutan through unrestricted immigration.

or

This act led to the increased activity of numerous groups to protest against what was seen as an injustice against resident Nepalis.

or

Thus a group of several thousand left and settled in refugee camps. The UNHCR aid provided to these people also attracted the poor from border areas of Nepal, who claimed to be refugees as well to receive aid

or

Matters reached a head in September 1990 after well organized groups comprised of 10,000 or more ethnic Nepalis from the Indian side of the border, organized protest marches in different districts, burned down schools, stripped local government officials of their national attire which they burned publicly, carried out kidnappings and murders of other ethnic Nepalis who did not join their protests. Some of the organizers of the marches were arrested and detained. However the Bhutanese government later released most of them. Those with ties to the groups responsible for the murders and kidnappings were forced to leave, but unfortunately many other innocent ethnic-Nepali citizens were coerced to leave by the angry ethnic-Nepali dissidents.

inflame and provoke the situation further. Considering the ethnic clashes, which are omnipresent in South Asia resulting poorly written and nonneutral articles like this, I propose that this article is either rewritten with a neutral point of view with references/source from United Nations and other such respeced global entities rather than some pro-Druk or pro-Lhotsampa or be deleted and kept in a deleted state till neutral point of view is established. I also would like to request the use of Lhotsampa rather than Nepali if this article is rewritten because the Bhutanese refugees are not Nepalese citizens. Its like calling John F Kennedy as Irish president.--Eukesh 21:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, about the earlier disagreement. No hard feelings? We disagreed (as Wikipedians do), I sought wider input rather than fight, others commented, you understood the concerns. Peace. --Doc^g 21:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shreshth, thanks a lot for your support to my RFA despite being only partially active. Hope we can have a get together for the Delhi wikipedians sometime soon. All the best with your studies! -- Lost^(talk) 11:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I really appreciate this holmes. I will delay a bit in accepting and starting the process as a couple of others wanted to add their nominations. Thanks for your confidence in me. Rama's arrow 13:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand Wikipedia philosophy, thanks. Nonetheless when you click on the "edit" tab it takes you to a different page than the "article" page. I would be more annoyed, but the problem has been fixed. FYI: there are exceptions. Critical pages (Main Page, featured articles...) and pages under dispute are often locked for editing from the general Wikipedia community. I certainly can't edit the Main Page, or I would have simply done so rather than complaining about it in the errors page.--Zachbe 17:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
