Thank you Madam for providing the WF related informations to me through
e-mail.
Once I saw your post on wiki hi chaupal which was removed from there by
some one holding special rights there.
They have already blocked me on en. and hi. wikipedia. Even then I edit off
and on ananymously whenever I get time.
Actually speaking I joined this honest organisation with an intention to
share knowlelege. I also provided there my complete identity on my User
Page.
What was known to me then that I have created thousand hurdles in the way.
So many persons could not digest the purity of my constructive
contributions.
Okey any way I am with all those right thinking persons.
Till then bye! bye!
