For the user talkpage revert. It was very much appreciated :) AngelOfSadness talk 18:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Were the edits you reverted here really more unconstructive than your revert? If you take the time to look through the many edits by User:Freemason, I think you will understand why I wanted to return to a point before he became involved. User:Bumm13 reverted ten of his edits here and still left an infobox that listed only three of the five band members. I also provided a link to documentation which supports pretty much everything in the article (also see the talk page).
Your revert restores a piece of code garbage that I have already removed three times and which causes the infobox to malfunction; it removes the above-mentioned link; it adds an "Unreferenced" Box, an "Original Research" Box and several [citation needed] flags all of which were addressed by the deleted link; it removes the names of all past members of the band and it adds a "God-Knows-What" Box under the Unref and OR boxes. Now tell me the truth -- you didn't use the "Preview" button, did you? You just saw an IP editor and assume the worst, right? Or is this all part of some devious plan to goad IP users like myself into enlisting? 24.36.35.188 (talk) 21:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your attention. According to my experience, your reply was not at all slow. I am not exactly a veteran editor but I have seen enough of WP to understand that a disproportionate amount of vandalism comes from IP's. I was trying to be jocularly good-natured at the end of my first post, but tone-of-voice doesn't always come across. Thank you for correcting yourself for posterity on my talk page, and thank you also for reverting yourself. I didn't revert your changes to the article because I was hoping you would do it. And you know, I may just get myself a username one of these days. All the best. 24.36.35.188 (talk) 22:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Just for fun, take another look at that MU330 article. Maybe I'll just retire from this place! 24.36.35.188 (talk) 00:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know anything about the band either. That's why I'm going to take your advice and step away from it for awhile. 24.36.35.188 (talk) 00:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. The reason I removed the Krishnology section is because I thought it was beyond the scope of the original article title: Svayam Bhagavan. I put Krishnology in the See also link section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.99.134 (talk) 11:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Prashanths,
Thank you for your message. As you can see from my userpage, I have a good friend, Ivo Pauwels, a well-known geen author and journalist, whose office is Antwerpen-Berchem. We will next month with a small group of garden freaks visit some interesting gardens in the centre of France.

Hi, thanks for dropping a couple of lines. However, if you see the IP users talk page, I have given him/her enough opportunities to discuss and sort it out. In any case, although the IP user has been guilty of 3RR within the past 24 hours, I would not have done so. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 17:19, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Prashanthns, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in my RfA which was passed with a final tally of 114/10/4. I'm both shocked and honoured to gain so much support from users whom I admire and trust, and I hope I can avoid breaking that backing by being the best administrator I possibly can. I will take on board the opposition's comments and I hope to improve over the coming months and years. Once again, thank you! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, skull and crescent was just a mix up and I got the OK to do so, these society pages have alot of competition with rival groups, and we all agreed it is best to start out with a clean slate. Many people have put alot of work into getting these soceity groups right, I think you understand,starting out clean is the best way to go- let me finish, it will be done soon. thanks a bunchSocietyfinalclubs (talk) 00:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the talk page, it appears that more than one of us was working on the AIV report for Societyfinalclubs (talk · contribs), so I wanted to drop you a note explaining my research and subsequent actions. Based on the 3RR warning for Talk:Sacred Order of Skull and Crescent that was issued to this editor at 19:21 [1] and their continued blanking of the page at 19:36 and 20:25, I blocked the editor for 12 hours. Please let me know if you have any questions or issues. --Kralizec! (talk) 01:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
You have been very helpful before, please can I ask for your help again. One of the administrators (I think his name was Phil) has decided that this page was 'blatant advertisement' and he deleted most of the changes I was trying to make. What I was trying to do was insert references rather than external links. I don't think this can be called advertising as I was trying to provide references to some very good tools available out there but about which people around the world may not know as well as they could through wiki; these are all tools available for free download and are developed as it appears by very well reputed people. They have offered the tools free, so there is no one going to make any money out of it and so it cannot be considered advertising.
I am not able to make any more changes. You probably know Phil. I am not able to 'talk' to him . I have tried to look for his name again but cannot find it. Is it possible for you to arrange to let me make the changes. Thanking you in anticipation.WorkingInPartnershipProgramme (talk) 10:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
You are really a very thoughtful person I must say. Your tone in your message was very encouraging and affectionate. I am touched by it and taking a cue from you I will carry on attempting to do some good work by bringing to the attention of the vast number of wiki users this very good and noble programme out there which can help people in this world more widely. Wiki itself is the example to follow as it helps millions of people around the world. I have so often used it for some very good purposes, don't want to bore you with the list but you can imagine the range. I will write to Phil, as I saw the link to him a little while ago.

Please remember that rollback should only be used to revert blatant vandalism. Reverts like this should be made the traditional way. Using rollback sends the message "that edit was so worthless that it doesn't even justify an edit summary in reverting it". Thanks! Stifle (talk) 10:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
this. Did not get any acknowledgement from you if not a reply. So, reposting again here. Cheers. Prashanthns (talk) 14:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again. Can you tell me how to respond to your post in an ongoing coversation such as the one you were having with moonriddengirl without editing that section (you said that editing a section is rude). Bonhomie1 (talk) 05:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Prashanthns, For a while, we all did. I assume you saw Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Societyfinalclubs, and the extraordinary number of socks he has been using?
I'm on break for a while, perhaps I'll run into you again in a few weeks when I return. --barneca (talk) 18:46, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I just told him to elaborate. If he doesn't, I will take it to ANI. It's bad enough with all the vandals saying "WAAAA My edit saying that you are supposed to render a military salute while pledging allegience to the flag was constructive" without people making cryptic accusations of sockpuppetry. J.delanoygabsadds 19:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
The source is mentioned in the edit summary. Since the whole article is already a (rough) translation of the German article, as stated in the section "Source", you can consider this an update to the article. If you demand so, I can recite all the sources mentioned in the original article, but I doubt these will be very helpful to you as they are mostly in German language. -- 86.56.237.43 (talk) 20:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
My apologies, i find CSD has a variety of missing tags that should be there. ah well. The main intention is to get it all off wikipedia; the user involved has created that page three times at slightly different addresses. i've final warned him, but i'm mainly just trying to clear up after him in case he doesnt get the message. Ironholds (talk) 22:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
As you have sorted the Lewes Priory School page before can I ask you to see if the latest edit is allowed to stay or not. I feel being from Priory School then if we change it we will just be accused of bias and a revert war will break out. I don't feel it is an encylopedia worthy entry and it is full of bias. Many thanks PriorySchool (talk) 11:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
On Personja, you tagged db-WP:NOT dictionary, but the first non-criterion on the CSD page is this (that it is not a CSD). While I agree with the tag, just bringing this to your attention. Cheers. Prashanthns (talk) 19:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for rm-ing his personal attack. Although I did find it somewhat amusing. So now I have been called a "Wiki Nazi" and "Unity scum". What's next? J.delanoygabsadds 15:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello Prashanthns,
You seem like a reasonable user and as far as we can tell you are not a Unity Apostle. When the time comes you must not stand by the side of Nick or others. They are sectarians who want to destroy are religion, society and very country. Thy wish to keep over 5 million people trapped in a country to which they do not belong. They are just nodes in a greater picture. The Unity Apostles censor all forms of media from telling the truth about Lincolnshire, it has been this way since time began.
Within a month, at most not only this message but also any record of it in your history will have vanished. The same can be said of all that has been posted with Zippy, Qualdiam, Lorrence and many others from our body. I do not ask you to believe me, because what I am saying is unbelievable. However look back in, a month, 3 months, a year. You will find no trace of this message or any other info you have heard relating to LIP and the Unity apostles. When this happens, maybe as a responsible member of society you should start asking some questions.

Re.: article on consciousness technology
This article is most certainly NOT a hoax! Far from that: consciousness technology™ is one of the many new ways to help people survive the current psychospiritual crisis that is almost causing our world to die in a large-scale ecological disaster. I will list the most relevant literature here: Stanislav Grof, Realms Of The Human Unconscious (Observations from LSD research). New York, 1975. ibidem, Beyond The Brain - Birth, Death And Transcendence In Psychotherapy. Albany, 1985. Lawrence LeShan, The Medium, The Mystic, And The Physicist - Toward A General Theory Of The Paranormal. Several editions; published in 1975. Lloyd DeMause, The Emotional Life Of Nations. New York, 2002. His Journal of Psychohistory (in its 35th year now) and website are quite worthwhile.
Furthermore (just a small selection of other relevant literature): Thomas Kuhn, The Structure Of Scientific Revolutions. Chicago, 1962. Paul Feyerabend, Erkenntnis für freie Menschen. Frankfurt am Main, 1979. Hans Selye, The Stress Of Life. Groundbreaking study on the long-term effects of stress on psychophysical health; published in 1956.
As Einstein already knew: "It is the theory that decides what we can observe." And yes, we DO work on a not-for-profit base, very often even free of charge, trying to compensate for this as much as possible by letting other people and/or institutions that can afford it, to pay more. However, even then never ever in an excessive way. And, believe it or not: it works, too!
