Hi Blnguyen, I noticed you seem pretty on top of the Ian Thorpe article and I notice you reverted my edits which is not a problem! But what he's doing now should be in there somewhere. If Undercover angels gets a mention then Action Earth and Fish out of Water deserve to be in there as well. As it is, it is an out-of-date article if you're not going to include the short-form series and the documentary! Here are some links for you to consider:

http://www.actionearth.tv/

http://www.abc.net.au/milduraswanhill/stories/s1930127.htm

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21801915-5006009,00.html

I suggest you put in a few sentences about them in his Personal Life section after the sentence about Undercover angels. The Action Earth website should defenatly be in the External links! Cheers --SAS87 18:54, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I will do the necessary and write a small article for the show and put a summary and link from the Thorpe page. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:02, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much!! XD!--SAS87 19:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for keeping WP:AC up-to-date regarding member activity status. I had noticed some of the same things, but wanted to see who might have returned over the weekend before recalculating all the majorities. I think that UninvitedCompany is inactive under the two-week rule as well, but he edited the other day on an unrelated topic so I've e-mailed him to see if he will be returning soon. If there is any further information from the mailing list regarding who should or should not be considered active as of now, please let me or another clerk know before we start recalculating everything. Also, Raul654 just restored himself to active status within the past two weeks, so I don't think we can move him to inactive until two weeks elapse from that date, as I think the restoration would itself constitute an arbitration-related edit.... This is confusing—it really would be easier if everyone would just tell us when they come and go. :) Regards, Newyorkbrad 03:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blnguyen. Nice to hear from you. I am trying to write more DYk's of late, coupled with FAC's. I think its going to be a brisk coming year. Best wishes to you.Dineshkannambadi 11:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blnguyen, looking at your contributions to wikipedia, it's my opinion that you are one of the few level-headed people that I have encountered in my short stay here so far. Which is why, I repect your opinions w.r.t tamilnet, even if I differ in my views with you. I was hoping the wiki process would help us resolve this issue, but was disappointed that the efforts of Sebastian failed to gather consensus - even if it would be against my POV. When I started looking through the users' histories from a while back, I found that there has been a personal dispute between Taprobanus and yourself, about the disclosure of personal info. I feel that as long as that dispute isn't closed, the ill-will might prevent any kind of consensus from being achieved in the controversial tamilnet issue. May I suggest you tender an apology to him as this may cool tempers and help with arriving at a compromise ? Especially, since there are users like User:ThuranX who want you to be banned because of this reason... which I would hate. Lotlil 14:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so maybe you want to consider that a violation of the 3RR (I'm still not seeing it, but... not important). However, why did you block him for 48 hours? This is his first violation and even you admitted that the fifth revert was questionable. It should be at 24 hours. -- tariqabjotu 04:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I thought that the fifth revert was actually obvious but perhaps not so obvious to a person who isn't used to revert maximisation, but I thought it was pretty obvious. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:25, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another point: the fourth and fifth reverts in the report are consecutive, so they technically should count as one. -- tariqabjotu 04:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, thanks for pointing that out. I changed it to 24. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. And now that I look at the history again, four reverts are obvious. I'm not sure how I missed that. -- tariqabjotu 04:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also it is polite to inform the person after blocking so that he could protest it at least? I think you have given him maximum that you could give on his very first violation. I do not know why? --- A. L. M. 08:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well he had been busy reverting and reporting many other people on multiple occasions. So I thought he knew what he was doing. And he's been using his three per day up many times so to speak. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the thanks. Though it is unnecessary, I enjoy it. Woohoo! Buildings are quite fun, finding the odd ones and searching them out is even more fun. Though, I fear, they bore some poor folks to tears. : ) IvoShandor 06:37, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bl, how are you? It's been long since we had an interaction. Anyways, I have a problem here. There was an image used in the article Girish Karnad by name karnad.jpg which had appropriate copyright information and was there for almost 1 year. Now someone has, I think overwritten that image with this image which is definitely a copy vio and I'm sure will be deleted soon. I'm unable to trace the original image anywhere, neither in article history nor in image history. How can I revert back to previous image? Gnanapiti 14:05, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't know the source of that image. Some user had uploaded that image couple of years ago and I don't even remember who is that user. It's very unfortunate that I didn't have that image in my watchlist. Gnanapiti 15:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gday mate. Over the last couple of weeks an anon has expanded the article considerably with what looks like excellent new material. I can't see any copyvio issues and presume that there's a single person responsible. Have you noticed this also? —Moondyne 06:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did indeed. Everything seems clean, but I guess with the referencing technique, this person has a history IRL of writing papers and such? There was a second IP who also expanded by about 5k. A bit magazinish in the flourishing commentary, but good work. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:17, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't like them, change policy, but don't tell me it's inflamatory--it's what's there, and calling people "imbeciles" is inflamatory enough, without another person jumping in and encouraging it by agreeing with an editor who has just declared war on civility on Wikipedia. Don't bother jumping on me, the pageant lady will take care of her own tenure on Wikipedia just fine.

Link to policy so you can move forward and change it, so other editors won't make the mistake of thinking the page about templates for user pages has anything to do with templates for user pages--but change it before you tell me again I'm a flamer:Wikipedia:Template messages.

I intend to, it is one of my real, true interests, why not share what I know/learn about the topic? As for the locally uploaded images, I actually upload them all to Commons, you have my pals at WikiProject Illinois to thank for the local one, they have set about tagging all Illinois related images, a project far too tedious and time consuming for my tastes. IvoShandor 06:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removing standard, non-boilerplate warnings for incivility is a very bad idea, especially for an admin. Is there a reason, other than perhaps implying that User:PageantUpdater gets a free pass in telling people to "fuck off" or in calling people "arseholes"? --Calton | Talk 12:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier today, you deleted an article created by my office on the Youth First Movement, the Youth Wing of the Family First Party. While I agree that it may have the appearance of spam, I argue that Youth First is far too prominent an organisation within Australian politics to be ignored. Similar organisations at comparable political parties have Wikipedia articles of a similar quality, and if Wikipedia is to remain politically neutral, it must have information on all the relevant organisations.

I am puzzled as to why you revoked our nomination for the Did you know spot. As I explained in the nomination the original article, although long, was completely unusable. Virtually the whole article was copied from the Old Martinians' website and was therefore copyvio. Compare this page of the website Old Martinians' Association website with the version of the article before we started to expand it [1] and you will see that it has been copied word for word. The only other content on the page was some directory-style information about the school which we've had to remove. The article is therefore essentially a brand-new article. Surely you want to encourage people to remove copyvio content and develop articles in this way? Dahliarose 07:50, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, I need your help in cleaning up some Karnataka articles related to personalities. One thing I noticed is that the initials of the personalities in the article title have been written in different ways like X Y someone, X.Y. someone and X.Y.someone. I think the proper naming convention should be X. Y. someone. I have moved some articles based on this but there are few articles which I have mentioned below which I could not move because of cross-linking. Can you please help me to move them? Here are the articles:

• A N Krishna Rao to be moved to A. N. Krishna Rao
• B.M. Srikantaiah to be moved to B. M. Srikantaiah

As always, thanks for the kind words. I am now approaching 50 DYKs! Hard to believe. The focus the next couple weeks for me will be Lee County, Illinois, to include Ronald Reagan's Boyhood Home, which I photographed today. Unfortunately, (I think), I have only one Frank Lloyd Wright House left to write on before I run out of photos, sure to make another visit to the Chicago area to take more pics soon though. I was going to go to Delavan, Wisconsin today but decided against it when I learned that the five Frank Lloyd Wright houses there are not viewable from any public property, unless I get a boat, so that will have to be a future endeavor which will require boat rental. Just thought I would blather about my upcoming stuff, you'll see on DYK, cheers and happy editing. IvoShandor

Literally speaking, biraadari means brotherhood. — Lost^(talk) 12:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Biradar means brother in Urdu and probably some other languages. Biradari (spelt differently like biradaari) means brotherhood as rightly pointed out by Lost who definitely never gets lost :). It may be interesting to note this aspect of biradari [6]: "Descent is reckoned patrilineally, so only those related through male ancestors are considered relatives. The biradari, or group of male kin (the patrilineage), plays a significant role in social relations. Its members neither hold movable property in common nor share earnings, but the honor or shame of individual members affects the general standing of the biradari within the community. A common proverb expresses this view: 'One does not share the bread, but one shares the shame.'" etc. etc. However, the word is used in other contexts too like "hi biradar Blnguyen! I am sure that you are doing fine! However, context may make the use even sarcastic like "Biradar drive carefully. --Bhadani (talk) 15:50, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Binguyen, While I understand your concern over the Nam Phuong redirect, your contention that WP uses only "common names" flies in the face of actual fact. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother is listed under Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon; Queen Mary is listed as Mary of Teck, et cetera, all pre-marital names, with proper redirects otherwise. The vast majority of royal consorts who have articles on WP have articles titled with their premarital name, and therefore, with all due respect, I see no logical reason why Empress Nam Phuong, an empress consort rather than an empress regnant, does not. I believe, quite strongly, that her article should follow the overwhelming precedent. I have already changed the links throughout WP to conform to this, so that anyone clicking on Nam Phuong will be redirected to Nguyễn Hữu Thị Lan. Also, anyone logging into Wiki can type NAM PHUONG into the search engine and be lead directly to Nguyễn Hữu Thị Lan, so no confusion will arise at all. (However, re the maiden-name precedent that seems to rule, in the majority of cases, on WP, take note that Empress Nagako of Japan, illogically to my mind, is listed under the name she was granted after her death, Empress Kōjun, which is not a common name in the slightest per WP nor is it her premarital name, which was Princess Nagako Kuniyoshi.)Kitchawan 17:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can see that in the cases of European names, the kings and queens don't change their name when they become king/queen, and the names are all very common as well, just plain William, Henry, Michael, Nicholas, Frederik, etc so that there will be many clashes due to the numbering and the country of origin. But still people use their throne name, since it is the same as their birth name (just not the full name is used). Anyway, popes etc also use their throne name so to speak. In this case, these names are only used in Vietnamese, unlike eg, Arab countries, where many of them might use Nasser or European countries using Henry or Louis etc. We also do not put Gia Long as Nguyen Phuc Anh. In response to the Queen Mother, you can see that she is not always going to be the Queen Mother, and another person is going to be the Queen Mother at a later point, so her real and royal name is used. Queen Mother is a title I think, like Duke of York and it passes from person to person. Gia Long, Nam Phuong, etc, do not. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She's more well-known as Empress Nam Phuong. We should use the convention of using the most popular name. DHN 03:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About a week ago, I asked if you could fix a broken footnote in that article. Although you have edited it sicne, you seemto have overlooked that. Circeus 04:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done...Just had to pop down to the library again. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-I have told you before, I have been a member of wikipedia before you! Stop using my name by just placing a L between B Nguyen. This is unfair and confusing to other members. Do not try to sockpocket me. I would appreciate some professionalism and that you should had done a check before you just try to assume, this has been brought up my another member that has told me.Bnguyen 17:46, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am not using your name, I am using my own name as I told you before. I would think that if people confused us that you would get a benefit since I have not been uploading copyvios, and I have not been adding copious amounts of dubious external links. So if they see you adding external links or copyvios, they might think it was me and I would get the stick for it. Or conversely when you do these things, they might assume it was me the administrator so they wouldn't revert your edits or check if it was a copyvio. Or they might think that you were the one who wrote all those cricket articles. In any case, all I am doing is reminding you not to upload copyvios and stop putting the VN people cat everywhere. And I'm sure you can understand English. If you don't want confusion, you can go to WP:CHU and change your username. Since you alreayd declare your full name, you can change your username to it without any loss of privacy. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:09, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-Please you appear to us my name Bnguyen by just inserting a L. -I have been a member here on wikipedia before you. -Why do you chose to appear to be me. -I would appreciate that you would be professional stop appearing even it it is without malice I would understand that you did not do your research about the name as I was a member before you joined here on wikipedia. -This is me and I am proud to be a member here on wikipedia. -I do not play any games and put animals on my profile. -I am a university student and future aspiring politician for the state of california. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bnguyen Bnguyen 22:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what this hysterical post is about, but it is you who has been uploading copyvios, adding irrelevant cats, linkfarming, listing the Government of Free Vietnam as a "govt in exile" and Nguyen Khanh as a "current national leader". It's not me who's using Wikipedia for political purposes. I am not intimidated nor do I care if you think I lack credibility. I can tell that you are a politically interested person. You have assumed I am trying to impersonate you. That is your issue. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:22, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-The Government of Free Vietnam is a government in exile that is widely known of their position and their supporters. -General Nguyen Khanh is a pivotal leader in their movement and his widely known as well in the political atmosphere of Vietnam. -I am not here to intimidate you or your conclusion that I am providing hysterical post, I just would appreciate if you would cease to appear to sockpocket me. -I have been a member here on wikipedia before you and I do not appreciate you just inputting a "L" between my first name and my last name. -Yes, I am political and enjoy learning and providing information on both areas on PRO and CON for each political group so it is equal and balance and I have other interests as you can see from my contributions list I am involved on various topics. -Yes, I enjoy Vietnamese politics but as well, African and Middle Eastern politics. -I appreciate even if you did not do it maliciously to appear to use my name Bnguyen by adding a "L" but as a courtesy please cease your course of action.
