[edit] Link
Why must I have a disambiguated link? aṅgrej(ī) simply means "English", anything English, not specifically the English language. Tuncrypt 21:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Alright. It shall remain unlinked then. Tuncrypt 21:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] America
Hey thanks for supporting my attempt to get America to redirect to the United States. Unfortunately it just closed, with no consensus found. I guess this is site is slowly turning into the "Please-The-World" Wikipedia as opposed to the English Langage one. BH (Talk) 18:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- I just checked that link you put on my talk page. I don't know why people don't realize that this is an English language site. BH (Talk)
[edit] About "fixing" redirects
Hi Disavian, please read this: WP:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. Thanks. --Tkynerd 21:44, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm aware of that page; however, I'm not doing it for performance reasons; I'm trying to clean up the Special:Whatlinkshere for Georgia Institute of Technology, a tool I've used a few times in order to expand related categories and articles. Is that a valid use for bypassing redirects? —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Why are you trying to "clean up" incoming links for Georgia Institute of Technology? Articles, unlike dab pages, are supposed to have incoming links. I'm confused; enlighten me! :-) --Tkynerd 22:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- When using Special:Whatlinkshere, redirects that have links to them have those links pasted into that page. Right? For pages with redirects containing a significant number of links (ex: Georgia Tech), the Special:Whatlinkshere page doesn't follow the rules on how many links to list on a page, making link counting difficult. In addition, if a page links to both Georgia Tech and Georgia Institute of Technology, it will appear twice on the Special:Whatlinkshere for Georgia Institute of Technology. These are all minor complaints, I know, but it seems worth it to me to take care of these problems. Also, there is no "Georgia Tech University," so that one should *always* be bypassed. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 22:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Djokovic Name Change
Do you find it at all discouraging or suspicious, as I do, that everyone opposing the Djokovic name change happens to be a Serbian national making the same fallacious argument ad infinitum? I'm fairly new to editing WP, but both the letter and the spirit of the policy are conclusively on our side here. Should we contact a mediator? -- Yano 22:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Isn't plotting against users fun and exciting? ;-) --GOD OF JUSTICE 04:49, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've requested mediation for the Djokovic article here: Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Novak Đoković and listed you as an involved party. -- Yano 05:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
You shouldn't thank me. We both know this is more trouble than it's worth. :-) -- Yano 04:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request for Mediation

A Request for Mediation to which you were are a party was not accepted and has been delisted. You can find more information on the case subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Novak Đoković.

[edit] Reverting the deletion tag
Don't reinstate the deletion tag that was on Novak Djokovic. It says not to do so if it is removed -- which anyone can do for any reason whatsoever.
Also, avoid an edit war. It is undignified. -- Yano 03:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't mean to suggest you were edit warring. No harm in warning against doing so, however, especially in these circumstances.
- Also I must say, your prose is the most brilliant I have read in a while. Too bad no one else will appreciate it. -- Yano 05:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
-
- At this point, I am fairly content. In any other forum, our proof would have been considered conclusive. Indeed, had our position been the status quo, most courts would have dismissed any case against us without trial, the matter being so common-sense. I daresay logicians such as Bertrand Russell and Kant himself would have praised our logic and our eloquence in expressing it. (Tongue somewhere in cheek!)
-
- There is some truth to it, of course. While enforcement is outside our hands, that is no fault of our own. To our credit, every power alloted to us, as editors and as arguers, we handled well. What comes of it is outside our hands.
-
- As for me, being of a very judicious nature, it is less than ideal that I cannot enforce policy and reason once it is plainly and patiently explained. These circumstances will likely affect my desire to edit here in the future. For the time being, I will continue getting acquainted with things, hopefully to see if there are not arbitrators to whom we can submit judgment for common-sense matters such as these.
-
- What I have seen as an editor so far, however, is not as pleasant as what I saw as a reader. -- Yano 23:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] You are welcome...
Thank you for changing the link, there will no doubt be an article started regarding this. Cheers, --Bulleid Pacific 12:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion for Wikipedia Cleaner
Hi,
I saw your suggestion for Wikipedia Cleaner. Before adding it, I just have a question about the situations where this feature should be available. --NicoV 21:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nobel Prize
Since you stated in the survey that "it annoys me that this prize is known as a Nobel Prize when it isn't one", could you please help explain to Vision Thing in Talk:Nobel Prize#Economics why the econ prize is not a Nobel Prize? It is currently included as one in the Nobel Prize article due to his edit and he is steadfast in his belief regardless of what evidence I present. Thanks! –panda 17:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nobel Prize related articles
Could you comment about using "Nobel Prize in Economics" instead of the prize's official name in an article's content/template? I'm thinking specifically about:
- Template:Nobel Prize in Economics
- Template:Nobel Prize in Economics Laureates 1969-1975
- Template:Nobel Prize in Economics Laureates 1976-2000
- Template:Nobel Prize in Economics Laureates 2001-2025
Should the name of the prize in these templates be "Nobel Prize in Economics" instead of "Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" (or "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel")? The current argument for using "Nobel Prize in Economics" is that it is the common name. It's the same argument for using "Nobel Prize in Economics" in other articles. –panda 03:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- panda has initiated a discussion at Template_talk:Nobel_Prize_in_Economics. I think you are a pretty objective editor (despite my initial qualms). You might wish to participate. --Anthon.Eff 23:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duotang
I notice that you have edited Duotang. I'd be grateful if you could keep an eye on it because there is an anon IP address that keeps adding nonsensical unreferenced stories into it. Thanks. Hu (talk) 23:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've added it to my watchlist and will do the best I can, but I'm not confident that I'll be able to reliably identify the nonsensical edits very well, since I'm not that familiar with the subject matter (I only disambiguated a link in the article). But I do review edits to articles on my watchlist with popups, so maybe I'll be able to see stuff that doesn't make any sense. I'll particularly keep an eye out for anons on there. --Tkynerd (talk) 06:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- OK, now I feel a bit silly because I've reviewed the edit history, and I clearly see the unsourced nonsense that keeps getting added. I'll try to help keep it clear. --Tkynerd (talk) 06:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rollback
Hello Tkynerd, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 22:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- That's excellent, and you're welcome. :) Good luck. Acalamari 20:27, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
This edit was brought to my attention, as was the edit war on that page. Can you please explain why you used rollback on that edit? That's not the correct usage of rollback, as Allstarecho's edits weren't actually vandalism. Acalamari 16:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, as long as you plan to be more careful with rollback, and remember not to use it when in a dispute, you'll be fine. Acalamari 16:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's good to know. Thanks. Acalamari 19:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Adam's Bridge
Mr Tkynerd please call it as Ram Sethu its a humble request, Hindu sentiments are at stake —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.229.236.247 (talk • contribs) (moved from user page to user talk page --Tkynerd (talk) 12:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC))
- It's anything but a humble request. Trying to dictate how speakers of another language should use that language is not "humble," it's incredibly arrogant. --Tkynerd (talk) 12:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Staten Island Railway
Hi Tim!
I notice that you have added the Staten Island Railway to the list of rapid transit systems. It has been discussed before, whether to include or not include this line. And I have started a new discussion at Talk:List of rapid transit systems#Staten Island Railway. Please leave a comment there! --Kildor (talk) 08:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey you! Thanks, done. Sorry to have caused the trouble; I wasn't thinking about the criteria when I added it. --Tkynerd (talk) 18:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
