Related to an edit war on Suresh Prabhu

@Vanamonde93: I need a bit of help understanding how to go about this and what to do next. Please see the last few edits on this page - Suresh Prabhu: Revision history. I have tried reverting edits of this user User talk:Tensazangetsu4 @Tensazangetsu4: two times. I have also left two messages on his talk page. The user has again undone my revert despite me requesting them to take it to the talk page. (The content that is being added is way too much in one go, apart from needing extensive editing and sourcing.) DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 06:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've left them a warning, let's see if it has any effect. Vanamonde (talk) 17:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanamonde93: The user in question has done it again. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 13:09, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've sent it to AIV: I this is essentially an SPA editing about a topic I have worked on, so I should not be blocking without good reason. Vanamonde (talk) 16:05, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thanks DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 16:33, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

peacock article

reads like a super fan just inserted his resume here 2001:8F8:1623:66CB:D990:D665:10C7:56FE (talk) 04:48, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like a resume

This page is atrocious. Biography pages are not meant to be full of bullet points of accomplishments. The whole thing needs to be scrapped and rewritten. Editors were asleep at the wheel when massive amounts of content were added by people who were most likely on Suresh Prabhu's staff or paid to edit the page. The mention of the serious rail accidents resulting in hundreds of deaths under his watch are completely absent from the page. One reading the page would get the impression that Suresh Prabhu founded India and the Indian Railways. 2600:1700:D71:DF5F:4D36:899F:2967:A8C (talk) 05:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree! I'm editing such pages as and when I find time. Truth4India (talk) 04:03, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New to wiki, how do I ensure this page is not vandalised?

I have just edited a page. I have put it on permanent watch. However, I want to make sure it is not vandalised. Is it possible to lock it, so that any changes are approved by a moderator? Truth4India (talk) 05:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you can raise it to WP:RFPP —Mint Keyphase (Did I mess up? What have I done?) 05:07, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
