You've got mail

sir solapur akkalkot are border ares interstate boundaries suffering from development imbalancd. i solpaur i have added the official fact in central railway time table oct 2015 it was lsited as in top 100 booking stations in India. i am rated five star for my reviews on Indian railways at mouthshut.com and my blogs. 

everal articles of wikipedia are uninforfmative.
Akkalkot most important is swami samrtha temple. the region is backward let it develop and let people insist on dvelopment by reading my infofrmation.
the trunk line Mumbai-chennai is not given proper attention and many people and sources can cite.
wikipedia info on solapur is partailly correct it is on Mumbai-hyderabad lined but histrically for 150 yaers it is known as Mumbai-Chennai line.
gangapur page is mislezding as most important gangapur is in Karnataka state flocked by people. we are from the region .we know better than somebody frfom miles away place.
no vadalism but trying to guide people constructively . most imp trains at akkalkot are udyan exp and chennai mail rest are local passenger trains .

there was newspaoper article on neglect of this place. people at one stroke should know how to visit the pace from Mumbai . is transport avilable from station. tp 100 booking stations iss an achievement for backward region like silapur not trivia . if i know it having read timetable i should give it so that development imbalance is rectifided. noble intentions. of guiding people accurately. no business or profit! i respect you

Hi Anilped - I have replied on your talk page, please keep the conversation there - thanks - Arjayay (talk) 18:22, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Section moved from middle of page

sir i fully beleive in not having timetable. but the raticle carried trivia timetable right from begining not needed . what people need is the most important trains udyan express and chennail mail rather than local passenger trains which are lsuisted. sso what u said is in contradiction . i want to avoid timetables. timetables are listed there by somebody elser. 

top 100 booking station is not trivia. views differ. many people are interested in knowing . the city will devlop . poor will benefit.
BTW Akkalkot is visited by discoples from America africa, all across world. they need to know that there is trabnsport available from station. they may be misguidded by alighting at siolapur 40 kms awat and may be cheated by transport operators. contrary to what you have said timetables existed before my editing . unnecessary yes .
but will be nice if local regional people decide what type of content they want . Many sent me emails sayimg grat wrok . u gave info in two lines about which trains from international city

Mumbai bangalore will take them at akkalkot overnight. they were surprisedd at poor treatmentof the trunk line. they thanked me. they would like to help development .still after this point i will respect and not add external links frfom today onwards. it is ot english but lack of time . i do lot of scientific research find less time i respect you a lot — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anilped (talk • contribs) 18:36, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Munnar

Le semiprotect Munnar page so that more details can be added SELVAG100 (talk) 18:29, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

SELVAG100 - I'm not clear what you are trying to say, but the proposal you made for a change at Talk:Munnar was unacceptable, and is an example of why that page remains semi-protected. - Arjayay (talk) 19:10, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

The past tense of "broadcast"

Hello

Until a couple of days ago, I thought "broadcast" is an irregular verb like "cast". All of this changed four days ago, when someone changed "broadcast" into "broadcasted" in the Microsoft Solitaire article.

In your argument at the top of this page, you've written: Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found". Well, "some dictionaries" contains a weasel word, thus, hiding the fact the most reputable English dictionaries list "broadcasted" as valid:

Now, the online Oxford English Dictionary does not provide past tenses and past participles, but it does recognize "broadcasted" without returning an error: [1].

As for the rest of your argument, I don't put any weight on a search engine test that cannot distinguish between the present tense and past tense, especially when Wikipedia written in present tense.

Please pay attention that upon deciding to revert, all that an editor sees is your edit summary, unless you provide a link to your argument in the edit summary.

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 07:36, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Codename Lisa Thanks for your detailed post.
This was discussed at length in August 2014 here, when it was agreed by all parties that it should not be labelled a misspelling - and I have not labelled it a misspelling since. Re-reading that discussion, I note that I have, over time, shortened the edit summary from "Broadcasted > Broadcast as WP:COMMONALITY" to just "Broadcasted > Broadcast".
My principal point is that its use is proscribed, so it should not be used - I don't like Wikipedia sounding (to my ear) semi-literate. Having rechecked the discussion and my note above, I see that the Wiktionary definition was changed from (proscribed) to (sometimes proscribed) on 24 April 2017, without any discussion.
Please also see the associated RVF discussion here which lists some places where the use is described as proscribed, and several polls of "Language writers and editors" giving preferences for broadcast, over broadcasted, of 34:1, 25:1 and 105:2.
As for the edit summary - 150,018 of my live edits have an edit summary (39 early edits do not), but long edit summaries slow down the editing process. AFAIK you are the first to have raised this in the 3 years 4 months since the misspellings discussion closed - although others may have come here and read the note at the top of the page.
I am not labelling it a misspelling, or hiding behind a C/E summary, but am stating very clearly what the change is, and will continue to do so. - Arjayay (talk) 17:48, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello again.
Thanks for clearing that up. Like I said, I've been using "broadcast" as the past tense my whole life. So, I don't want to dispute your or anything. But if I were to give your any advice, I'd say from now on, you need more convincing edit summaries. (Psst! Nobody will have anything against you if you used "Clippings" or similar browser extensions to streamline the process of repeatedly writing long but useful edit summaries.) The irony is that the victims of incorrect reversion here are those who go the extra miles of being sure before reverting.
Best regards,

Castle vs. Chateau

I'm an owner of the Skvorec Castle and we traditionally use csstle for this property. Someone always changes the name from Castle to Chateau. We are not in France and the castle not a villa or wineyard mansion. Can you help somehow? Thank you Dmitryeremeev (talk) 11:31, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Chateau

Can you explain, pleade. why did you remove this: Name "Chateau Skvorec" invented a few years ago by an anonymous Slovak immigrant who considered himself as a "powers that be" on Wikipedia. Many others, including owners are strongly disagree with "chateau" and still use traditional english name Savoia or Skvorec Castle. Dmitryeremeev (talk) 11:57, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@Dmitryeremeev: Probably because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox for privately held opinions. Kleuske (talk) 12:00, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Dmitryeremeev
Firstly do NOT attack other editors, and do NOT include your complaint in the article itself - I have deleted that.
Secondly, as you say you are "an owner" you have a conflict of interest, so should NOT be editing the article. Please read and follow WP:COI
Thirdly, I see from Talk:Škvorec Chateau that a proposed name change was refused as recently as 28 October 2017. You could try another request, and provide detailed evidence of your case, but a request so soon after the last refusal, is likely to be refused.
As I do not read Czech, I will avoid getting involved - I only went to the article to correct your misspellings. - Arjayay (talk) 12:03, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Zamek - Castle

Thebfact is that all Czech-English dictionaries translates Zamek as the Castle and never Chateau!!! Dmitryeremeev (talk) 12:14, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Dmitryeremeev - as I said "As I do not read Czech, I will avoid getting involved" - Arjayay (talk) 12:40, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Another issue: iaroslavvs uses chauvinisme - russian-italian immigrants instead of family, it sounds as rude chauvinism, Dmitryeremeev (talk) 07:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Dmitryeremeev - which part of "I will avoid getting involved" are you having difficulty understanding? - Arjayay (talk) 15:21, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sudan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Beja (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Secondly; please sign all posts on talk pages with 4 tildes ( ~~~~ ) which will add your signature and a timestamp.
As for your question; as I clearly stated in my edit summary, your edits were reverted because they were unsourced, and I also left a long explanation about my reversion, including several useful links, on your talk page.

Mr Arjayay am new to editing or contributing so I might not do it right for now, however I will try and catch up. To your third statement my understanding of the internet or referencing others from other sites, I will like to enlighten you on some things when it comes to the African context of information gathering. It is quite unfortunate that information in Africa has always been given historically through word of mouth! So if I feel am from a place and I put some information about my place I expect it to be edited by someone who feels he is more informed, not just editing because it is not found on another website (by the way internet is not as old as many people today are), so if as an administrator on wikipedia you feel personal knowledge or research is inconsiquential to adding value to a topic it is confusing to me.

Jon Paul Fiorentino

Hi there. You recently reverted what looked like blanking of cited content, and I was all set to do the same myself at WP:Recent changes. However, I believe the IP was absolutely right to do this. If you check the links, some don't work and others are to blogs. There's nothing there that I can see at a quick check (and I could be wrong) but I really don't feel we can leave such content in a WP:BLP without more careful scrutiny of reliable sources. I have left a similar note on the talk page of the person who posted that content a few days ago. (I should say I can find nothing in Google searches to suggest at first sight that these allegations are justifiable). Either way, I'm sure you'd agree they'd need better sources to remain here. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 17:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Nick - Having tried to look at the references, after my initial revert (like several other editors), and discovered they were false/missing, I agree with you; which is why I did not revert a second time - Arjayay (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Brilliant, thanks. I'm probably guilty myself of sometimes assuming blanking by an IP is non-constructive. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 21:25, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Nick - It was the IP's edit summary "Removed section lacking sources", when the edit clearly removed two references, that I responded to. If the summary had referred to "false references" or something similar, I would have checked first - but we know what a bear-pit WP:Recent changes can be.... - Arjayay (talk) 10:38, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Please, stop deleting my edit and make many vandalism in Sudan article

What is the relationship of all these sentences to the article even these things do not have any realtion to the article. Please shorten this huge number of scattered word do not delete my edit! Musx8yp (talk)13:54, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

What is now northern Sudan was in ancient times the Kingdom of Nubia, which ruled Egypt in the early years.[1][2] A Nubian civilization called Kush flourished until 350 AD.[3][4][5] Kush at the height of power ruled all of Egypt, South Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eriteria, part of Libya, Gaza Strip, Israel, the West Bank, part of Modern day Syria, and Jordan. The period after Kush is the 3 Kingdom period, in-which three Nubian Kingdom emerged Nobatia, Makuria, and Alodia. Also, the Beja Kingdom of Blemmyes emerged with ruled The eastern part of Sudan and Southern Egypt. Nobatia ruled part of Southern Egypt and were the first of the Nubian kingdoms to get in contact with Christianity. Christianity in Sudan was propagated by Coptic Monks as early as the 1st to 4th century. Records indicate that it was King Silko of Nobatia in the 4th Century who asked the Coptic church to send a representative to explain the Christian faith to him. Once, he heard what they are calling for he accepted Christianity, and all of his kingdom fallowed him and accepted Christianity. Later, the Kingdom of Makuria expanded absorbed Nobatia, Alodia, and Blemmyes. Makuria Rulers also accepted Christianity and by the 6th century all of The Makuria Kingdom became christian. The Byzantine Empire tried to expand further south, but failed at defeating and retreating the kingdom of Makuria in battle in Southern Egypt. Also, the Persian Empire was also defeated by the Kingdom of Makuria as they tried to expand South into Southern Egypt. The 7th century and the rise of Islam and the Arab Empire came as the Arabs defeated both the Persian Empire and Byzantine Empire, and expanded. The Islamic Army met a rare defeat in Southern Egypt when they meet the cavalry and archers of the Kingdom of Makuria. The commander of the Islamic Army was 'Amr ibn al-'As(RA) he meet three rare defeats when he fought the Nubian Army of the Kingdom of Makuria. Thus, he wrote a letter to Umar ibn Al-Khattab(RA) asking for more Soldiers to fight, but Umar ibn Al-Khattab(RA) refused. Further, during the time of the 3rd caliph Uthman ibn Affan(RA) the Islamic Army tried to expand South of Luxor into the Kingdom of Makuria, but it was a stalemate with no territory gain or loss on both sides in a war that lasted 13 years. Thus, The Islamic Empire and the Kingdom of Makuria entered into a treaty called the Baqt treaty. The Baqt treaty came into effect and through trade the people of the kingdom of Makuria came to know about Islam. It was King Jamil who had one of the most influential roles in establishing an Islamic ruler-ship and spreading Islam. He accepted Islam and revived the kingdom of Nobatia autonomy within Makuria. He traveled to the Muslim World and asked the Islamic Caliph for aid to establish anIslamic State. Also, for a tribe to aid him in teaching the religion to the people and to establish an Islamic Ruler-ship. The descendants of Ubay ibn Ka'b of the tribe Banu al-Khazraj decided to go and help establish an Islamic State and to teach the people Islam in the kingdom of Makuria. Eventually, the descendants of Ubay ibn Ka'b were able to overthrow the Christian ruler-ship in Makuria and establish an Islamic Rluer-ship in Makuria. At the height of power the Kingdom of Makuria expanded south to Tanzania and westward to border Mauritania. As Makuria weakened from internal court dispute and fight for succession to the throne it began losing territory first to the Mamluk Sultanate and then to Banu Kanz. During the 1500s, the Funj and Abdallah Jamma established Sultanate of Sinnar which ruled much of Sudan and conquered several other black African groups settled in the south, including the Dinka, Shilluk, Nuer and Azande. after Britain occupied Egypt in 1882. The Mahdi forces lead by Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah lead a revolt in Sudan the next year 1883.[6] The first between the Mahdi forces and the Egyptian army was the Battle of Aba with a complete victory of Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah forces. Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah forces defeat two Egyptian columns led by British officers (Hicks Pasha and Baker Pasha). [7] Previous, to the battle with Hicks Pasha and Baker Pasha Muhammad Ahmad bin Abd Allah forces decimated the 4000 strong forces of Yusef Pasha to a single man. Moreover, when British Empire sent their famous General, General Gordon to lead the evacuation in Khartoum he was killed. [8]The loss of General Gordon was a heavy loss for Britain, and it was one of the most cited reason for the effort to lead a conquest of Sudan. In 1898 Britain succeeded in taking over Sudan, However the rule over Sudan was decentralized.[9] British rule over Sudan and Egypt was known as the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan between 1898 and 1955.

(page-stalker comment) Hi Arjayay! Some of the edit-summary reasons given for the removal of the above seem vague at best, and several reversions in the recent article history seem to involve persistent socking by a banned user (or users). That said, the material itself (per above) is very poorly organised, obtuse, overlinked, undersourced (or poorly sourced) and in some parts, virtually incomprehensible. I reckon it should go. Best, Haploidavey (talk) 11:32, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

To respond to you only these sentences at the top is not arranged and organized, in a way that allows the reader to absorb all this amount of words. This is generally considered a vandalism that needed to be fixed in the article. Musx8yp (talk) 15:04, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

If you'd take a look at the article as it stands, Musx8yp, you'd see that it's now in the form you prefer. Please don't describe disputed material as vandalism, or good-faith editors as vandals. On wikipedia, "vandalism" has a very precise meaning. I should also add that matters relating to reversions and other content-related matters are best discussed and settled through consensus at article talk-pages. That can save a lot of time and trouble. Haploidavey (talk) 12:16, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Musx8yp Please read and follow WP:BRD - your initial removal was acceptable, but having been reverted you should have discussed this on the article's talk page, not repeated your removal.
I agree that the above section presents a "wall of text" and needs editing, but that is NOT the same as removing it, along with several other references. which you repeatedly did. Please continue any further discussion at Talk:Sudan - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 13:40, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi MagicatthemovieS thanks for your post. The only "interest" I have expressed in that article, was removing the duplicate "by" from the sentence "Written by by the band's Marilyn Manson" - one of numerous such duplicates I was removing. I tend to do cleaning-up work on Wikipedia - vandalism, spelling mistakes, formatting etc. rather than GAs and FAs, so, thank you for your invitation, but I will decline. - Arjayay (talk) 16:37, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Can you help me to improve multiple articles?

I have seen multiple articles related to colleges in Mumbai and Pune that hardly contain any information. Articles about colleges like Jai Hind College, Symbiosis College of Arts and Commerce HR College, Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics, etc. are either incomplete (ie. missing college logo, college history, list of alumni, etc) or the article doesn't exists in the first place. Repeated edits were made on various articles but they were removed due to unsourced information. I have collected some material about these colleges and I can also source them to proper websites. I'll be requiring your inputs and feedback. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.97.85.201 (talk) 08:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi IP from Jalalpur thanks for your post.
I have no particular knowledge about those colleges, whilst you have the information. Helping you by making the additions would, therefore, be very difficult. Furthermore, I am already "fully booked" with my existing work on Wikipedia - vandalism, spelling mistakes, formatting etc. I am. however, quite willing to look over an article once you have worked on it, and offer advice/comments.
My first advice is WP:Create an account as I will otherwise have no idea which are your edits, and which are someone else's.

Sir the edits which I made were absolutely correct, go check the page “Sikh” on wikipedia itself. And these stats are also taken from the official site of census 2011. Eric1998 (talk) 00:40, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

No Eric1998 your edits were not "absolutely correct" for three reasons:-
  1. They were unsourced changes - if you change a figure, you must cite the new source for that figure
  2. There is a clear mistake, in what you added, as explained below
  3. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, so we cannot use the figures on the Sikh page and many claims in that article are also unsourced or unverifiable
Your additions/changes claimed that
"In India, 20.8 million, or 76% of all Indian Sikhs, live in the northern state of Punjab (India)"
This is contradicts the 2011 census here which shows that 16,004,754 Sikhs live in Punjab - the figure of 20.8 million is for all the Sikhs in India - not just those in the Punjab
You have a history of making false claims about the number of Sikhs, as here, here and here, just since the beginning of December, all of which have been reverted.
Please understand, you must include a properly formatted citation, to a reliable source, to support each and every figure that you change, or add.
If you continue to add unsourced information, or change figures from those cited in the references, you are likely to be blocked. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 12:58, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Belgaum

Hello Mr. Ajayray, The correct name of Belagavi is Belagavi. Why are you unnecessarily changing it. It is in the state of Karnataka and we do call it Belagavi! SachCreation (talk) 13:00, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi SachCreation
Firstly. please put new posts at the BOTTOM of the page with a new section title - or click then "Add topic" tab if you don't know how to do that.
The title of the article has been discussed several times before, please see the talk page. We do not want to confuse our readers by using a different name in the article from the article title itself, so please do not change it from Belgaum. The repeated changes to the name, were one of the reasons the article was semi-protected, in order to stop.
As for the name itself, The Wikipedia rule is WP:COMMONNAME which is that we use "the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." (my bold} This over-rides both the "official" name and any "local" name, it is just an specific application of WP:COMMONALITY - The English Wikipedia is read by English readers, worldwide.
There have been attempts to try and claim that this policy is racist and/or imperialist, but it is applied across the board:- we use Vienna not Wien, Rome not Roma, The Hague not Den Haag or 's-Gravenhage, Venice not Venezia and numerous other English titles, rather than the "official" name.
Over time, some of our article titles have changed, as the common name in English evolves - in May 2001 our Mumbai article was just a redirect to our Bombay article: although the title had officially changed in 1995, in 2001 the common name in English was still Bombay. Conversely, we still use Bangalore, not Bengaluru. There is nothing you can do, but wait to see if the common name in English changes. - Arjayay (talk) 13:21, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you.

List of Lafayette College People

To quote the page on notability "There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists." It goes on further to say lists that fulfill recognized informational purposes are often kept regardless of demonstrated notability. This list has clear informational value in that there is no other published resource containing information like who the U.S. congressman that are alumni of the school are. Anyhow, my intent in undoing your revision was to begin to cite the sources for each of these entries, which is easier to do when they are not hidden on a previous revision.

Secondly, please read the discussion at Talk:List of Lafayette College people#Inclusion criteria - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 15:55, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Ok - So I would like to throw my weight behind their being a lack of consensus on whether red linked pages should be included as the person who did the research to find and add all of them. If I add citations to these entries over the coming weeks will you allow them to stand? Rupture7 (talk) 16:04, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Rupture7 Unless I misunderstood Semmendinger's comment "I fully agree with everything you said", consensus was reached over 2 months ago. You are entitled to re-open that discussion, but will need good supporting arguments based on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
Looking at the associated history, you were warned about adding non-notable people on 6 August 2016, but continued to add more until 24 July 2017 when you started a 5 month hiatus.
If red links are allowed, in any article or list, the problem is determining whether "it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future", which is totally subjective. Wikipedia is over 17 years old, and has over 5,557,000 articles. If someone is genuinely notable, unless that notability is recent, the odds are that an article will already have been written.
Personally, I think alumni lists full of redlinks give a poor impression of the institution, as the list has had to be padded out with non-notable entries.
Compare this "sea of red", as you left the Lafayette College list, with, say, List of Harvard University people, or List of alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge which only lists the top 280 alumni, although Category:Alumni of Trinity College, Cambridge shows Wikipedia has articles on over 2,800 alumni.
In short, I think it would be more useful if you wrote some of the missing articles, and added bluelinks, rather than padding out the list with redlinks. - Arjayay (talk) 17:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Linked here by Arjayjay, I agree with him completely. While technically the person can be linked with a citation, it's a weak way to pad the list. If we were adding every alumni of Lafayette who has made the news in some minor way it would be a joke of an article. Hell, I myself would be allowed to add my own name to the list as I've been featured in some notable periodicals and newspapers. The point is, while there are no hard and fast rules in place we've reached consensus already a couple months ago. For this article we are only adding Lafayette alumni who have their own article written about them. They have to be blue links, not red links. This shows that the person is notable is a larger framework that a incidental passing remark in some citation somewhere. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 17:57, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
Just to add on, I think it would be a good idea to make a standalone article for every person who want featured on that list. If you look on my userpage under "Articles Created->People" you'll see I've already made a handful of pages for Laf alum that I have reintroduced on that list (they were previously red links). This is a much better way of adding people to the page as their notability is not called into question when they have a strong standalone article already.

Original research

Since you are the Wikipedian God, I thought it may be correct to ask you.

I was wondering why wikipedia does not allow original research? What is wrong in that? I accept the fact that articles made by executing original research may contain errors, contradictions, etc. but not everything will be wrong. 🤔

For instance take this page: Alien (franchise). They removed so many useful information in the recent edits. Like there was info on Xenomorph and Neomorph terms which means Strange Creature and New Creature, respectively. Though, I accept that Neomorph term is never used in the movies till now but it is used in other news articles about the film. Also, in third film, the protagonist calls the creature Xenomorph. 🤔

Why are people too ugly to each other on Wikipedia? 😭 Can't they digest other people's edits? 😖 HARSH RATHOD (talk) 06:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Harshrathod50 thank you for your post, although I am certainly not a "Wikipedian God".
As for original research, I'm not sure I can add much to what Wikipedia:No original research says.
You say "I accept the fact that articles made by executing original research may contain errors, contradictions, etc. but not everything will be wrong."
"not everything will be wrong." is the ultimate lowest common denominator - do you think it would be acceptable if 95% was wrong? - that would mean any article could be based on 95% invented rubbish, provided there was 5% truth. Clearly that is not the way to build an encyclopedia - but might work for a fantasy story.
Wikipedia cannot check all the information in some original research, we rely on reliable sources, where the editorial team, comprised of experts in that particular field, check the facts.
This is why we do not allow any user-generated sources of information - blogs, fansites, IMDB etc. or self-publishers like Wordpress, Self-Gutenberg etc., nor vanity publishers, including predatory open access publishers, where people pay to have their work published, however bad it is.
As for Alien (franchise) I have no knowledge of the subject whatsoever, although I see that I did correct one spelling mistake (Ressurection > Resurrection) on 19 January 2015 - Arjayay (talk) 18:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Runtime

This is about the value to be assigned for 'runtime' parameter in the { {infobox film} } template. My question was that old films were shown by use of physical Celluloid Reels while today all the film releases are broadcasted via satellites then would it be correct to assign the length and number of reels to the 'runtime' parameter for the articles of old films? 🤔

For instance: { {Infobox film | runtime = 5387.5 meter, 17 reels } } HARSH RATHOD (talk) 19:42, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Harshrathod50 - I don't think that is what is needed - Please see Template:Infobox film, which states:-
Insert an approximate time duration of the theatrical release of the film in minutes. Do not link to minute. The BBFC website is a reliable source—the running time is given to the second, so round it to the minute. Do not include any additional run times, such as a director's cut or an unrated version, without consensus.
So "an approximate time duration of the theatrical release of the film in minutes" is what is required - for old films this would vary slightly depending on the projector, but I think the key is "approximate" - Arjayay (talk) 19:52, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

As for your question, I am not totally clear what you are saying - I deleted your addition to Spirit in the Sky because it was unsourced.
I now note that the article already stated "and drummer Norman Mayell worked with Greenbaum." Reading the Sopwith Camel (band) article, this includes references to a 1987 Rolling stone article, which includes that information, I have, therefore, added that reference to the Spirit in the Sky article.
We do not, however, use piped links to create "Easter eggs", so it is incorrect to add your name, piped to the Sopwith Camel article, to make it look as if there is an article about you, when there isn't.
Finally, I removed your name from the List of drummers as you do not have your own Wikipedia article, which is the inclusion criterion for that list. - Arjayay (talk) 12:18, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Arjayay,

I was seeing the edit of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bharatendu_Academy_of_Dramatic_Arts&action=edit&section=3, I am afraid you have given wrong link to Rajiv Jain. I have just created an article on Rajiv Jain. Please have a look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Rajiv_Jain_(Indian_Cinematographer)

Regards, Aakash Aakash Pandey B+ (talk) 15:28, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Aakash Pandey B+
Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I have removed the "wrong" Rajiv Jain from the Bharatendu Academy of Dramatic Arts article.
When your draft is accepted, a link to that article can be added, but we NEVER link to draft articles.
Looking at your draft, you need to remove all the "references" citing Wikipedia, (Spanish, German, Hindi and Marathi) as Wikipedia is not a reliable source - nor is IMDB, which also removes the first three of your External links, while the fourth does not work.
The Spanish article cites a couple of sources, such as the Times of India - but this only gives a passing mention - you need to find, and cite, articles giving in-depth coverage to Rajiv Jain before your article can be accepted.
Please see Help:Referencing for beginners for how to cite references. Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 16:00, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Arjayay (talk) Please remove this line from View History of Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Arts article:

Aakash Pandey B+ (talk) 06:20, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Aakash Pandey B+
Thank you for your update. I'm not sure you needed to have your draft deleted, although finding references to satisfy English Wikipedia is often harder than some other languages.
Unfortunately, the entry in the History of the Bhartendu Academy of Dramatic Arts article cannot be deleted or edited, however, it remains as an explanation of the reason for my removal of the link to the "wrong" Rajiv Jain - Arjayay (talk) 11:15, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Arjayay (talk) You gave me some confidence, so I started creating Draft:Rajiv Jain (Indian Cinematographer) article. Lets see, how it goes, fingers crossed!!! Whenever you have time.. Please visit the page and give me suggestions. Thanks :)
Hi Aakash Pandey B+
The draft is looking promising - you need to reduce your external links - and remember that IMDB is NOT a reliable source, nor is the Personensuche reference, and we don't want film databases in different languages, or celebrity images. When people add long lists like that, it looks as if they are trying to pad out an article of a non-notable person, with anything that contains their name.
What has surprised me is that you have not cited any Hindi articles - being the English Wikipedia, we wouldn't want the majority of the references to be in Hindi, but I assume there must be some additional coverage, some of which could be added. You should also read WP:LASTNAME, and if possible, find a reliable date of birth, - Arjayay (talk) 17:52, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Regarding WP:AFD

For how long articles as such survive? I asked this because back in 2012 there was a page for a song called Pungi from the film Agent Vinod. Now that page no more exists. When I searched here for an article called WP:Articles for deletion/Pungi, nothing appeared. Does it mean that no discussion for deletion of that page occurred? Just three days ago there was a film page called Toy Story 4. I also made edits to it. Now it no more exists. Where the heck is it's deletion discussion page?

My only question is that what is the life span of deletion discussion pages? What do we mean by salting? This term is used in those discussion pages.

Since your answers are descriptive. You are my salt resort of help. WP:THQ is not of so much help. Harsh Rathod 12:30, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Harshrathod50 This took some working out - but to answer your questions backwards
Toy Story 4 auto re-directs to Toy Story (franchise)#Toy Story 4 (2019), but if you click on Toy Story 4 then go to the top of the Toy Story (franchise) page, you can see (Redirected from Toy Story 4) if you click on that it takes you to the actual Toy Story 4 page. If you look at the history of that page, there are only 2 edits. However, if you click on "View logs for this page" (just underneath the title on the History page) there is a line that states:
14:31, 21 February 2018 RHaworth (talk | contribs) moved page Toy Story 4 to Draft:Toy Story 4 without leaving a redirect (revert)
If you go to Draft:Toy Story 4 you can see the latest version, and the history of that page includes your edits
The (easier) way for me to have found it would be to look at your user contributions page, but I missed the relevant entry (as I suspect did you). About 3 pages back, there is
07:46, 21 February 2018 (diff | hist) . . (+203)‎ . . Draft:Toy Story 4 ‎ (Added content.) (Tags: Mobile edit, Mobile web edit)
This is standard following a page move, the edit you made will be renamed to match the new page, as that is where your edit{s) can be found in that page's history.
Looking at the logs for Toy Story 4 (here) the page has had a very chequered history with multiple deletions, going back to 2006.
So the "simple" answer to that part of your post is that it was not deleted (in which case it would not appear in your contributions) but it was moved.
As for Pungi we have had an article called Pungi since 15 April 2004‎ and looking at the logs for that page, it has never been moved or deleted. There was, therefore. never a WP:Articles for deletion/Pungi. As we already had a Pungi article in 2012, an article about the song must have had a different title. We have never had an article called Pungi (song) as information about that deletion would appear in pink if I try to create Pungi (song) but it doesn't.
I assume you are talking about Pyaar ki Pungi - which has never been moved or deleted?
Finally "Salted" is slang for "create protection" - when an article has been recreated and deleted several times, admins can prevent its re-creation by applying create protection.
Hope that helps - Arjayay (talk) 14:05, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Victor Dubowitz

Hi Arjayay, I don't think we have spoke before. Hi, How are you? You removed this: This centre eventually became a internationally renowed laboratory. MOS:PUFF doesnt apply here, nor WP:PEA. Pea to certain extent, I suppose. I think it is mostly commercial organisations and non scientific biographies which are prone to it, and not subject to external measurement, except for organisations re: in share prize and prizes for people. It is a allegory of the gold and doctor, depending how much gold you have, you give it all to your doctor to cure your disease. And its worth remembering, but medical institutions like medical journals and obviously universities, are measured externally, and compared with others in their group. So it not subjective to say MOS:PUFF, when the statement has be written, because that medical organization has been tested and measured, and when a peer reviewed journal reports, it is accurate and factual and 100% non subjective. So it will go back in. Also, scientists fall into this group as well. Every scientist knows who the brightest and best is, in their peer group, always. There is no mistake about it. They always know. It is unfortunate, because folk are going around removing critical information from science bio's about who is the best in their field ansd so on, whereas biographies of these people out in the world, specifically records that information., And we think subjective, but they know for a absolute fact, that it is fact. And it is all going to be haved to be fixed, 10-20 years up the road. scope_creep (talk) 18:16, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi scope_creep you stated, without a source, "This centre eventually became a internationally renowed laboratory." - I assume you meant "renowned" not "renowed" but renowned is one of the words listed at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch#Puffery so I couldn't just change the spelling without infringing that guidance.
I considered re-wording it, but what to? and what would it add to the article? especially as there is no source for the claim - I'll leave you to choose the re-wording, but please avoid "renowned" (and "renowed") - thanks - Arjayay (talk) 18:27, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

WakingApp as I said on your page "The type of English an article is written in is often shown at the top of the edit page. In the case of Grammar this states "Use British (Oxford) English"".
Perhaps my use of the word "often" was too strong a word - maybe "sometimes" would have been better, but if you look at World War I it says {{Use British English |date=July 2014}}. Pink Floyd, being a British band, states {{Use British English|date=May 2016}} whereas Jimi Hendrix states {{Use American English|date=February 2013}}. Languages of India states {{Use Indian English|date=January 2015}} and, unsurprisingly, Australia states {{Use Australian English|date=May 2011}}.
These were just examples I have grabbed at random - and many articles do not say. In general British Commonwealth and European articles tend to be written in British English - unless, as with India, Australia, Jamaica etc. they have their own style of British English. The one I have most problems with is Canada, as they do not seem consistent. Articles without a geographical tie depend on the English of whoever started the article.

Hi @Arjayay:, Requesting to do Semi-protection: because of high level of IP vandalism. 223.229.181.72 (talk) 08:02, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi IP from Pune - I am not an Admin - so I cannot semi-protect the page. You would need to ask at WP:RPP and explain your reasons, however, I am not sure if this is deliberate vandalism, rather than edit-warring. Be aware that, if the page is semi-protected, you will not be able to edit it, and it may be protected whilst stating information you disagree with. I will keep an eye on it for a few days - Arjayay (talk) 16:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
