- it's no big deal. it's just that we all need to keep in mind that new users quite often do things that are wrong and are inexplicable, usually because they don't know how to do what they actually want to do. so it's good to point out, in a polite tone (not always easy to convey in a post - i might have completely misread the tone of ur posting), what they did wrong, why it is wrong, and either offer help to fix it or direct them to where help is available. so my earlier posting to u was just a friendly reminder of this. hope this clarifies, and sorry for a delayed reply. cheers, Doldrums 14:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
It seems you are deliberately edit-warring on this article, even though the issues you are stirring up were resolved yesterday (before the article's publication). I ask that you cease this behaviour, since (needlessly) reverting published articles is disruptive. Also, let me warn you right now that you are already close to violating the 3RR. If you do violate it, I will block you for 24 hours. PVJ(Talk)

Misleading[edit]
Your edit on Belgian diplomat murdered in New Delhi was misleading and contrary to sources. If you want to include her age as being 47, you need another sentence or so and the profile listed under External links to source the information. You can't stick it in as the statement made by the police, the source doesn't say that. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

- the only link to the ISI explicitly mentioned in that press conference may be the narco-analysis, but that does not necessarily mean that that's all the evidence there is - the police have so far not revealed all the evidence, so we can't really say "The link to ISI is based on evidence from narco-analysis". we can say, "Police uncovered links to ISI when they performed narco-analysis", thereby avoiding calling the narco-data "evidence", or claiming that that's all the evidence there is.

well done[edit]
Nicely done with the Curtis Grant interview. TRWBW 17:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, thanks! It's actually just a template interview; I've emailed essentially all of the Brampton and Mississauga council candidates (somewhere around 200 total, I'd guess), and if they agree, they get a set of questions common to everybody in their particular city. Basically I just sit back and hope things work out. -- Zanimum 18:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
