Steward elections

Hey fellows! There are soon Steward elections on meta. If there is someone who always wanted to become a steward and fulfils the criteria then feel free to nominate yourself. Nominations can be submitted between 21st August and 7th September. We need more helping hands. If someone has questions what it means to be a steward, we have many people locally who can answer this question. Maybe someone from our community decides to run for this position.

Pakistani POV-pusher now active here

Hi all! We seem to have attracted the so-called Pakistani POV-pusher. This user is community banned over on simpleWP, and tries to do the same things now here too. He changes everything Pakistan/India related stuff to Pakistan stuff, replaces images etc. to promote Pakistan over other things. I've just right now reverted a whole punch of his last edits here. I for one will just block him next time he appears and I can only suggest that other admins do the same. Just letting you know! -Barras (talk) 18:07, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

What does he do exactly? Vandalism, spamming, or trolling? Because this is a relatively small and very quiet project, the choice is up to yours since the community consists of only a few people. —stay (sic)! 22:04, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Basically it's vandalism as they change facts according to their POV. I agree with Barras about blocking them whenever they appear. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 11:52, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

change to {{adj}} template

Please see my request at http://simple.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template_talk:adjective titled "Simpler words than "Comparative" and "Superlative"" ---

Simpler words than "Comparative" and "Superlative"

In simple English style, shouldn't we use words like "big"-"bigger"-"biggest" or something instead of "Positive"-"Comparative"-"Superlative"? --Mattsains (talk) 16:01, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

I can't find an AIV page on this wiki anywhere so I'll just post it here: 213.159.241.41 (talk · changes) is an open proxy and requires a block. Thank you, -Orashmatash (talk) 21:15, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
