Hi DaxServer. Hope you are keeping well. Thanks for getting into my notice about a content change without reliable source. However as all my articles are Government Organisations and their functions are similar, hence the sources are only in their website which I cannot quote in the article. However the content is reliable and dependable. Kindly guide me if iam wrong and I will correct it. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 13:30, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. There're some instances [4] (and next section) where the content couldn't be verified in full. Already on my watchlist, seems to me like they want to shine the Tamil mythology albiet some of the additions involved unverified content or OR — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:35, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Shiva20202020 I don't think the article yet passes the WP:NFF requirements that the production be notable. All I read is the usual commentary about when the production started and who is involved. But not evidence is set forward as to why the production is notable — DaxServer (t · m · c) 14:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Ayya Vaikundar is a belief/mythology article based on Ayyavazhi beliefs/ Ayyavazhi Mythology. The details here is elobrated upon in Akilathirattu Ammanai, the holy book of Ayyavazhi. Moreover there are hundreds of commentaries/thesis/lectures/books published in Tamil, Malayalam and English languages based on this; and few are mentioned in the reference section too. Ayya Vaikundar is a spiritual figure worshipped by million predominantly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. My edits are in consistent with this and I EXPLAINED THIS already in the talk page as well. But my edits were systematically and irresponsibly reverted many many times and now a roll back. I request you to 'be responsible' before reverting. - Vaikunda Raja:talk:08:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Vaikunda Raja! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Ayya Vaikundar several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
I understood; But the onus is on the other side who reverted first without valid and proper grounds. The original edit is more than 1 year old from which the reverts were performed; citing "Historical perspective" in a mythology article! So the article be should remain the way it was until further reverts/opinions. - Vaikunda Raja:talk:08:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
May I create the articles listed in Articles Created in your Profile.?
Hey DaxServer May I create the articles listed in Articles Created in your Profile?
I searched about some of them and came to the point that those are notable.
@Botu Yadav Of course please do so! I transcluded the list from Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian politics#Politicians (it's an incomplete list BTW, didn't have the time to extend it). All MLAs, MPs, MLCs are notable and articles can be created for them. WP:NPOL is the notability guideline for politicians. Good luck with articles. Remember that you must add reliable sources for 100% of the content in articles about living people ;) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
@Botu Yadav When you copy content from one article to another article, you have to attribute that in edit summary for copyright reasons. This applies to sister projects like Tamil Wikipedia. You can see how it's attributed at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. BTW can you provide the link to her Tamil Wikipedia page. I wasn't able to find it — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:42, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
@Botu Yadav Could you fix the attribution for the translated articles like I did here [5]. Also, the articles about living people must be sourced 100%. Even if you translate from other wikis, if you can't find sources, you may not add the content — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:54, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer
As i am not a very old and experienced user, I want to create this article and need your help in citing and editing the article more better than me. Can you please do that?
—|Botu Yadav (talk) 17:56, 7 June 2022 (UTC)|
To start with I'd recommend with a draft. I've created blank page at Draft:Second Gehlot ministry. Since this will be similar to the Third Gehlot ministry, you can copy the content from there, like the infobox and tables. When copying you must attribute that it is copied from that page, see example at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Next, you will have find references/sources for the ministers. I'm afraid you have to do that yourself as I barely know of Rajasthan. Once you fill all the information, submit it for creation via WP:AFC. You can of course directly move the article to mainspace, but with AfC - you will get some feedback about what to improve. In the end, once the draft is good, it would be accepted to mainspace. Hope it helps — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
On 8 June 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ambati Rambabu, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ambati Rambabu, the state minister for irrigation of Andhra Pradesh, dabbled in acting before entering politics? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ambati Rambabu. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ambati Rambabu), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
It was ok in it's genre. I doubt Ram Setu will come to a theater near me, but perhaps I'll manage to see it somehow. Though I'll expect the WP-discussions on it will be dramatic enough. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:30, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Wow, that's interesting! I did not know that. Could be something for a DYK for the articles when they reach GA status!! — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:42, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello
First of all thank you for all of your contributions towards Wikipedia
I edited article of Shiva and add some more information [1]
I mentioned Shiva as God of Dance and in other names I added Nataraja which literally means god of the dance
There is dedicated article regarding Nataraja name of Shiva explaining all the details, so I guess there should be no issue If I add that Info
We are altiusinvestech.com and we enable retail investors to invest in the private equity markets in India. We enable buying and selling of Unlisted companies on our platform and provide the investors with an opportunity to invest in a growth stage company before it's IPO on any of the stock exchanges. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayankkhakkhar (talk • contribs) 07:17, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
Can we help contribute to wiki?
Hello @DaxServer!
We at altiusinvestech.com are building a platform that allows users to buy and sell shares in the unlisted companies. We aim at making investments in the private equity space accessible to the retail investors.
On our platform we have listed more than 150+ companies that are still in their growth stage and are still privately held. Retail investors can invest in such growth stage companies before their IPO comes out.
Some of the companies listed on our platform are Reliance retail, Tata technologies, Mobikwik, boAt, Phameasy and many more!
I am a bit new to Wiki.
I was wondering how can we add the real time pricing of these companies to their wikipedia pages for easy accessibility to the users who are reading about these companies. We have also accumulated a lot of data points and insights about these unlisted companies that can be helpful for the readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayankkhakkhar (talk • contribs) 07:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
This literally closed as redirect less than a week ago, and the culprit is already at ANI for their persistent disruption and creation of similar FANCRUFT/INDISCRIMINATE lists... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:33, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Please take them to AfD- which I see are not going your way. Re Laila, I forgot. Just looking at your contribs and saw you redirected a few that a similar list was redirected, reverted them asking to take to AfD — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 17:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
The AfDs appear to be going the wrong way because some people keep saying that the lists should be kept because "the artist is notable" or the self-perpetuating "similar lists exist" (which is a classic WP:OSE). This is getting really annoying since it's clearly a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS, but apparently Indian singers are popular enough it's impossible to enforce WP:NOT. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:55, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Not that I matter.
But you put me in such a depression as well as losing appeals to ArbCom and such. More reasons for me to hate life. I would never expect an apology from you anyways since you're probably arrogant. My life sucks. 67.165.185.178 (talk) 01:54, 19 June 2022 (UTC).

Asking for little help and cooperation
Hello, DaxServer.
I hope you're doing well, i am here to ask for a small help, please update your Articles Creation section because i have created many articles listed there after having a small debate with you before.
I am busy here and internet problems are here in my State due to some Protests, that's the reason behind my absence.
No worries. We both have several similar interests and will run into each other even tho I never edited any given article, most probably because it’s in my watchlist or via a notice board — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 14:00, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
I believe I have responded to your concern/suggestion in the AfC discussion for this draft. Can you please have a look? I think this is a slam dunk as far as notability is concerned, since this is a mainstream film with wide distribution and reviewed by newspapers/websites etc. Thanks!--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:05, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Help Needed
Hello Dax,
There's one anon editor with copulation fantasies who is constantly vandalizing Draupadi wiki. Please help.
@DaxServer: Thanks. You might have to get ready again for another round of pest control. I see another potential fanboy id created few days ago. Will keep you posted. :D Panchalidraupadi (talk) 02:15, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, hope you're doing great. Humble request you to kindly have a look on an article named "Deoghar Airport". A user named "Alotorus" is adding a connecting flight/ layover flights in airlines and destination section of Deoghar Airport. I told him not to add this connecting flights as it against Wikipedia policies but he won't listen and he keeps reverting the edits done by me and some other user.The news citation attached by him clearly states that this is a connecting flight not the direct one's. Please kindly look into it. Thanks Flashthomsom (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Bobbili revenue division instead.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion.
If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

@DareshMohan Yes, I could try. But after about 3 weeks, as I'm stumped with other things I need to do. If the tables are long like the Brahmanandam's, maybe I'll write a script and do something. I'll let you know — DaxServer (t · m · c) 07:54, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing
Hello, DaxServer.
I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor.
Would you please consider applying to become a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. Dr vulpes(💬 • 📝)06:26, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed that you've been doing really well with your CSD and PROD requests. I think you might really enjoy New Page Patrol. Come check the page out, we have a great training program running which I completed and really enjoyed. If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Request on 16:22:44, 12 September 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Iam1947
My contribution has independent references from leading publishing websites in the world, yet you keep disapproving it. It is a valid ngo with global outreach and body of work. Could you please check it. It merits to be on wikipedia.
Hello @Iam1947. Welcome to Wikipedia. Re the article, it is evaluated on the lines of WP:NGO guidelines. From the references, I only see passing mentions of the FFOP in articles about the workshop and other announcements. They are not considered "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization". If you were to provide references that discuss about the NGO which are also independent publications from FFOP, then the article could merit. Hope this is clear. If not, please visit WP:TEAHOUSE where other experienced editors new editors with Wikipedia-related things! — DaxServer (t · m · c) 21:47, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks DaXServer, I have tried adding more references. These talk about the activities the NGO has undertaken and not about the NGO per se, a couple of these independent publications do cover the range of activities that were carried out under the aegis of FFOP. Shouldn't work be more important than the organization itself, especially when it is talked about by independent publications? Please see if you can review and I will visit the teahouse, thanks again. Iam1947 (talk) 06:28, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
@Iam1947 The references talk about the activities that the members of the NGO held. They don't say it's directly on behalf of the NGO. They would count as sources for that person, but not for the NGO. I see that you've resubmitted, so let's see how other reviewer evaluates — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
I see you have a point, but the reports do say the NGO organised the training and dialogue. Great to have feedback as a young contributor. Thanks Iam1947 (talk) 11:47, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Some body kindly educate Mr. User talk:Jayanthkumar123 to stop promoting and advertising Telugu cinema whereever possible, out of context in the lead section of this article, adding factually inaccurate using predatory references. What is his style of editing ? What is this adding this superlative lines where ever possible. "Telugu cinema is largest, highest, greatest? highest paid actor, highest paid director and greatest director? Fostera12 (talk) 12:02, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
DaxServer, I request you to check Ab207's talk page and my talk page to understand the issue. This user have added block warning messages on my talk page. The content I have added is sourced. He/She have always targeting me in whatever way possible. For example, during an issue on Pan-Indian film article, he was blocked due to his nature. Not only that, he have made wrong allegations against me on RRR and others articles. This line: "Telugu cinema is largest, highest, greatest? highest paid actor, highest paid director and greatest director?" show how hatred he/she have against my edits. I have only added the word "largest" and none of the above mentioned superlatives are not added by me. As said before, this is how he/she add extra masala...! to make the allegation grandeur. This user have also tagged me on every possible user's talk page, making wrong allegations against me. I hope this issue resolves soon. Thank you....

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Daxserver, is can you tell me the process for self-block. As I don't feel I am anymore comfortable or eligible to make edits here, I want to permanentely block my user ID and other related Id's (if created in future, whenever felt so). Thus, in future this don't allow me to edit any possible way, even though I wish. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 18:32, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
NPROF citations
RE your comments at Draft:Holger Stark: do note that academics are an exception to WP:IS; non-independent sources, such as works produced by his university page or academic fellowship organization, are valid for use, so long as they weren't written by the subject himself. This is as WP:NPROF explicitly ignores WP:GNG. Curbon7 (talk) 22:18, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
You should Roll back/removed only those materials which cought up in Copyright violation, like you added- article from the Republic World and Indian Express, which you think that have a copyright material in my edits. But you removed my whole edit, Why ?
and if you didn't notice, I use my own word to describing the sentence of materials, but I couldn't change so much even in using my own sentences because then meaning will be change. and in the last, please tell me clearly that which sentences/articles sentence you think that I should be work on it to correct, for avoiding Copyright.

I know I am 6 months late, but I've finally learnt the syntax for giving barnstars :P.

Panchalidraupadi (talk) 19:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks you @Panchalidraupadi I hope my efforts were fruitful. However, I think those vandals are still on WP lying around and possibly screwing up some other topic. Only time will tell. We will be vigilant in the topics that we know about. Happy editing and see you around :) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 21:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:You have been fruitful, but you're right about the vandals. Already found one, who is editing profusely in non-epic topics everyday, while making subtle inversion of content in select Mbh pages in favour of his hero. Will keep you posted. See you around too. :) Panchalidraupadi (talk) 10:15, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Also, could you give me some recommendations for Mahabharata books that we could use for citations? There seems to be a lot of books but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks in advance 🙏 — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer: For primary sources, we have K.M. Ganguli's translation of the non-critical Sanskrit text available online on sacred-text website, and the Critical Edition (translated in English by Bibek Debroy) which is not in public domain as of now. For secondary scholarly sources, there are tons, so it is difficult to pinpoint some. For Arjun and Karna, you can refer to "Arjun: the Double Hero" and "Karna: The Sanskrit Hero" both by Kevin Mcgrath. For Draupadi, Alf Hiltebeitel and Dr. Pradip Bhattacharya have done extensive research. For overall Mahabharata textual criticism, books by Vishnu Sukthankar such as "Prolegomena to the Adi Parva" and "On the Meaning of Mahabharata" will help. There are a gazillion papers, journals, books, etc which you can find online, but sometimes it is hard to extract the strictly scholarly ones. Let me know if you need help with any references or facts. - Panchalidraupadi (talk) 19:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:Cool. You'd need that because, with big budget movies and series being announced on the epic every other day like Navatri sale, you gotta be equipped for more vandals. :P I'd suggest starting with Karna. Happy reading! Panchalidraupadi (talk) 03:35, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits, but why have you removed categories, but why ru removing the appropriate categories which i added. Just because he is a CM of a state doesnt mean he is not fradulent, and corrupt. He served jail term for more than a year. He is not just accused, he was summoned by ED and CBI both. His frauds are proved in court of law. Please obey it.Fostera12 (talk) 05:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
The article is certainly in the need of an update. i understand you may be Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy follower - strike your comment immediately. As per the categories of fradulents, it's only eligible if the court determined he is. CMIIAW, he was in jail only as a judicial custody for the investigative purposes, wasn't he? See WP:BLPCRIME. Also, please post further comments on the article's talk page as this is about the article and not me — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:49, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey! The article is now in the mainspace, but portions of the article are missing and I cannot go back and view the information that I had added. It has been removed from the revision log, and I can't quite figure out how to retrieve it. Can you assist?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 19:33, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer: I surely can visit that page, but I'm curious what I would be asking there. Would I ask them why you have removed those sections(?), because I don't think they can necessarily know what you're thinking. Thanks for taking the time to reply, m8!--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 05:52, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
I had a question on multiple accounts. The other day, in the investigation we had here [8], the editor said he created new accounts only to test images and was not aware of all the rules.
I feel it's actually a valid point because Wiki has tons of policies, and in most cases, editors don't even read them before creating an account. Most of us learn the rules gradually. In such a scenario, if an editor, who is new to Wiki, creates a duplicate id with good faith and later realizes it's a compliance issue, how does he rectify it?
(Panchalidraupadi (talk) 22:24, 30 September 2022 (UTC))
Hi @Panchalidraupadi From what I observed, almost all the cases that end up at the SPI investigations had the blocked editors spinning up stories that I believe the reviewing admins have heard multiple times, just like this one as well. In a case where the user genuinely doesn't know that socking is not allowed and is blocked, they are asked to review the rules and state what they understood from the rules, and certainly not repeat them. Most such users do not do that and just create another accounts which at a later point in time would get caught and simply repeats the process again, while some just leave editing and move on to something else. To be unblocked after socking, they need to come clean about their intentions, from their original account, and state that they would not repeat socking. In such cases, admins would unblock them — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:02, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:Thanks! Actually, I saw some senior editors who came clean on their Userpage that they did have other ids, and regret vandalizing, but do not use them anymore. Are such declarations of mistakes allowed without getting blocked? Assuming not all are same, editors would be scared to come clean even if their intentions were not bad when they created them. - (Panchalidraupadi (talk) 16:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC))
Yes @Panchalidraupadi Coming clean [with a regret [and full disclosure] to past actions [and swearing not to do that again]] would be the first step, followed by [probably] [in-depth] inspection of the edits by other editors. If in doubt, asking admins for help-when they don't understand something or don't know what to do-would make life easier for everyone involved. If the current intentions are good and align with that of WP's mission, they would be allowed to edit, but with great oversight by other admins/editors. But then again, admins are the ones who take the decisions over these.
Also, if there are legitimate alternate accounts, one needs to disclose them like how I did on my user page and those alternate account user pages — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:35, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
I was about to close this with a move. Despite the correctness of using the common name, I looked into other airport articles, and they are almost always at the official name. *shrugs* - UtherSRG(talk)12:17, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
@UtherSRG I see, but I see that oppose rationale that the Chandigarh Airport is the current WP:COMMONNAME to hold. All the news articles are about the rename, since it's only a few days and thus the new name hasn't entered the common name era. Do you know of any such recent airport RMs? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 12:30, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Munich Airport isn’t at its official name. The references at the page are unfortunately quite appalling. Lots of primary sources and almost half of them are in German. Either way, do you want to start a move review and ratify if there’s a consensus on the observation you’ve made? — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 14:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
From its talk page it seems the page was moved around 2007 to the current title of Munich Airport. Thinking out loud, all the public utilities (like the public transit) are using Munich Airport on their boards. Side note, the same with München Hauptbahnhof, they using Munich Central Station. I’ve been thinking for some while to do some research into the English sources on how they refer to the railway station and put an RM. WP:NCGERMAN might have some details — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 16:05, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

I think it is a mirroring of wikipedia by the publisher. I think it is better if we provide older reference, not the one after the recent event. You may find it later. Actually I do not indulge in misleading edit summaries. Thanks. Fostera12 (talk) 14:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

@Chennai Super Kings Lover: Sock puppets are reported at WP:SPI. The page has instructions on how to file a report. You will have to provide evidence in your report. Also, the edits from the user are not vandalism (see what vandalism means WP:VANDAL), some of them, like this one, are original research (WP:OR) - particularly synthesis (WP:SYNTH) - as the content added is not supported in the citations. Also, I'm not an admin, so I won't be able to block anyone. Hope this is helpful — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:21, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi Dax, hope you're doing well. I've been keeping an eye on the edits of a user who has been frequently editing the Chandole article with unsourced or poorly sourced references (that don't back up their claims) and have reverted a few of them, copyedited most out of existence. This seems to be the only non-draft article they are really working on and the edits are consistently less than stellar. I was thinking of requesting pending changes protection and perhaps a Teahouse for the editor's talk page. As a PCR, do you think this would be appropriate? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Kazamzam (talk) 13:07, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi @Kazamzam Hope you're well as well! Pending changes won't work as the user is autoconfirmed. I'd recommend posting on their talk page and ask them to add sources when adding content (along with user warning templates). If the user doesn't comply and continues to add unsourced content despite [several] request[s] / warning[s], perhaps the issue needs to be escalated to WP:ANI. Hope it helps — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:51, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Ah nuts, I thought the groups page said not autoconfirmed, that's why I asked (the dangers of editing without glasses). Will give a go in talking to them and keep my fingers crossed. Kazamzam (talk) 13:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Yoga International
Hi, I use the source quality script to alert me to possibly-flaky sources. YouTube helpfully comes up red, for instance, not to be used in normal circumstances. But Yoga International, a source we occasionally dip into when more obvious sources don't cover minor aspects, doesn't even get an amber (to be used with care).It obviously isn't an academic journal, but it does its job honestly and straightforwardly, and its use here is entirely removed from chat or gossip. Why are you summarily removing it? Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi @Chiswick Chap While they try to provide accurate information related to Yoga, their articles are primarily for SEO to drive more business referrals to their business and thus doesn't hold to our WP:RS standards. Do you disagree? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:54, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
I've no opinion on the matter; you seem to hold an extremely strong opinion for reasons which escape me. Some questions immediately spring to mind: 1) how do you know? 2) where in WP:RS does it proscribe this source, or indeed sources which have some invisible connection to SEO? I don't find the word "yoga" in that policy, nor "SEO", nor "Search Engine Optimisation" for that matter. I agree with you that the information is accurate; their motivation, being invisible, isn't something we can legislate for, unless there is hard evidence.

Hello, DaxServer. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Thank you, DaxServer, for all your detailed biographies of people from India. I have noticed that recently you have written a few about women, including Gaddam Padmaja Reddy, Swathi Somnath and Maddali Usha Gayatri. If you intend to continue covering women, you might be interested in joining WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to chip away at the gender gap. In any case, all the best for 2023 and happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:53, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

On 25 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Maddali Usha Gayatri, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hi. I don't know if we've ever interacted before, but I see your name often. Thank you for all your efforts on the project. Just wanted to let you know, that I came across this article in my NPP patrol and noticed you marked it "unreferenced". But if you go to the seasonal tables, you have to click on the "show", and you'll see that each one has a "report", which is actually a reference to the material for that particular game. I used to make the same mistake, probably for quite a while, before someone pointed it out to me. But I thought you might like to know. Onel5969TT me13:38, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Krimuk2.0, there was a similar discussion at WT:MOSFILM recently Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Film#Alphabetical order of sections in this style guide. So if we were to look at how a film progress overtime during its life cycle, critic reviews often come by within days. BO is an ongoing event for several weeks [as long as its in theaters] and then comes awards [months later]. Chronologically, I think it would be better to represent in the same order.
It holds the same for Pathaan as the reviews came in in a day or two. (Surely international reviews could be coming in later, sometimes months later.) The BO is still on going and presumably for sometime as well (its just been a week so unless the movie is banned or something, it'll stay in cinemas).
Even tho The Grand Budapest Hotel and ET are FAs, I'd advocate for the critics->bo->accolades order [with any other relevant sections in between, of course, like an audience reception section in b/w critics and bo]. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 11:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
While there are articles which just refer to him as Kartikeya [9], [10], it seemed to me that his full name is used relatively more often. All these articles introduce him as Kartikeya Gummakonda and then use his first name for subsequent use. Lots of them have the surname in their title as well. "Kartikeya" and "Kartikeya actor" searches were difficult as they resulted in a wide variety of results. Last names are not always needed. Sometimes they are simply omitted. In the end, the titles are determined by Wikipedia:Article titles, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). In specific, WP:COMMONNAME, WP:NAMECHANGE, WP:STAGENAME are useful here. If majority of sources use one format, that'd be our title. If there's no consistency and no majority, then a local consensus in accordance to the policies above could determine the title. It would be the same for Venkatesh. (Altho I don't know which one - Venkatesh or Daggubati Venkatesh or Venkatesh Daggubati). It just needs some investigation to determine it. Same with Aadi. The Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) has quite some guidelines for these. Hope this is useful ;) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:39, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Credit
Hello DaxServer (talk·contribs), I am a amateur editor, I am really not aware of how to credit someone for their content. I took the content from the main page N. Chandrababu Naidu and created Chief Ministership of N. Chandrababu Naidu, since the information was too lengthy and also it was removed unexplained. I am sorry if you felt it in a wrong way that I didn't credit or attribute you. Please help me know how to credit you and the other editor, since I know you both have worked hard to write the content and develop the page. 456legend(talk) 18:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi @456legend. When you copy content from one Wikipedia page to another page, you will need to write an edit summary as explained here: Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. That is basically enough. If you forget to do that, you can do a dummy edit with an edit summary explained at WP:RIA which is what I did at the new article. Hope it helps — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:04, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi - while I have blocked both the sock and the master, we don't strike the master's !votes unless we can establish that they are themselves a sock of an older, already-blocked account. They are no longer welcome to vote, but votes they cast with that account prior to their block are legitimate. Hope that makes sense, best GirthSummit (blether)18:33, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
No worries. It's a bit bureaucratic, but essentially it boils down to whether the editor was allowed to express the opinion at the time that it was expressed, and in the manner in which they did it. If you're blocked on another account, then you have no right to express an opinion, and it should be removed. If you use a second account to add a second voice, that is invalid, and it should be removed. But if you express an opinion, and then come back with a sock to express it a second time, the current state of play is that your first voice still counts. I won't say whether or not I agree with that situation (...), but it's where we are at. GirthSummit (blether)00:29, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Hmm. Well, it's true that the main account had not yet been blocked at the time they cast that !vote, and they did not cast two !votes in the discussion, so one could argue that the !vote should be allowed to stand. On the other hand, if the !vote were to be reinstated, it should be made clear to the discussion closer that the account that cast it was an abusive sockpuppeteer who was making rapid fire low-quality votes at multiple discussions in an attempt to camouflage the fact that their actual goal was to get multiple !votes at discussions about articles they had written - which would end up in the !vote being discounted.

Hi. I found your script due to some error sleuthing and I wanted to point out two problems
You use "let storageKey = `ds-locked-user ${user}`" This generates endless amounts of keys that will never be removed, eventually filling up local storage. Please don't do this. Store all the data of all users into a json object that you serialize into the value of a single key. And please don't store too many users. limit to say 50 or so. LocalStorage space is limited and a hot commodity. It has to be shared by all the subdomains of wikimedia top level domains.
All usage of localStorage can throw Exceptions, so you should always wrap any usage of it with try and catch, so you don't throw unhandled exceptions. When people load your code from their common.js, unhandled exceptions will stop execution of any other script they might be trying to load.
Hey @TheDJ Thanks for the report and detailed report. I've commented out localstorage for the time being. What kind of errors did it throw? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 22:27, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Could you please review again the draf of Survivor (Israeli season 12)?
Hi @DaxServer, how are you?
On January 16, you reviewed the draft of Survivor (Israeli season 12), and it was declined due to lack of references. I would be happy if you could review it again, as I added two references. They are in Hebrew though, as there isn't recaps in English of the episodes. The merge of the season startes today, that's why I think it's important to be reviewed.
Hello, I noticed you have removed every mention of Nandamuri Obuleswara Rao from Taraka Ratna's page. In case you are unaware of his original name, you can google Taraka Ratna Obuleswara and confirm it.
It's my request to do some research before arriving at a conclusion. Thanks. Trippy73 (talk) 08:17, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
His original name was obuleswara chowdary rao. I dont have time to argue about it on sources. I am not interested in that article now. But dont just pass plain comments on fellow editors as unfactual info. I have also made significant contributions to wikipedia. @ DaxServer, Please dont post messages in my talk page, you are free to make any changes that you disagree. I repeat pls dont educate me on wikipedia, and kindly save your time, and dont post any message to me. Request you to dont post any thanks comments also.

Hello, I noticed that you removed the width parameter from {{refbegin}} in K-Meleon and several other articles like Gulf War. This parameter breaks lists into columns past a certain width. By default, {{reflist}} is set to 30em and {{refbegin}} is set to the content width. That parameter allows an editor to sync the width of each list. This is especially valuable for the percentage of editors still on the old skins where there is no maximum width for the content area. Check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War?useskin=vector#Bibliography and zoom out. You'll see that the references from {{reflist}} break into columns but the bibliography just stretches across the entire width of the screen.
If you feel that this is no longer a valuable choice for editors to have, either because the new default theme plus mobile are both fairly narrow, or for whatever other reason, it might be more productive to the raise issue at the template or somewhere upstream in Wikipedia. I expect that the parameter is currently used on a vast number of pages.
Can I know your reason of changing the suggested B class article back to C class ?
I believe with regards to the content and references the article is atleast B class if not in all but some WikiProjects. Rejoy2003(talk) 08:02, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
@Rejoy2003 The article is missing some citations and copy editing is requested. That's why. Also, the rating has now changed to a single rating and deprecated with WikiProject-specific rating, thus the articles will now have just one rating — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:25, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
The article may require copyediting. Regarding the "missing citations", I think it'll be recommended that an "additional citations tag" be placed on the article since it has alot of potential for B class rating. Rejoy2003(talk) 08:29, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting this bad page move. But in the future, please leave a redirect behind when you do so. Because there was no redirect, if you look here, you can see all of the broken redirects to this article. When a page is moved, Wikipedia bots change all of the redirects to point to the new target. If you move it back without leaving a redirect, those valid redirects are broken and might be deleted by another bot or an admin if they don't see what the problem is. If you leave a redirect, then the bots can change the redirects again to point back to the original page title. I've created a temporary redirect at Portal talk:Akhand Bharat so the bots can get to work and later this redirect can be deleted.
When I ask you to intervene and vote on the topic you dont even find time to intervene, but you find time to teach lesson's. Why didnt you vote yes or no when i asked you to intervene? did u see the message sent by the other editor who closed the topic without consensus ? majority of votes were to keep the article. Unconstructive was the whole discussion including ur untimely deliberate negative intervention, when i Kindly requested you to intervene you dont find time. But you find time to accuse me. Why this much resistance from your side when some one ask u to intervene on afd's ? You are so busy that you neither voted yes nor voted no what is your editorial contribution then when u cant participate in proper discussions. Your job is to attack me and troll me on my talk page or do something and help fellow editors when they are contributing alone. Dont teach me constructiveness when fellow editors dont have it. Unconstructive was the other editor @User:Star Mississippi without consensus closing afd page not me, and what rights you have to warn me ? i just reverted the edits of sheer vandalism by the other editor who closed afd, it is not unconstructive. Going forward do not attack me. Fostera12 (talk) 09:41, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, thank you for your input, I have updated my comment, but the source zaminryot is reliable, and independent. so you would want to retain the article ? Fostera12 (talk) 13:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC) You dont have time to vote keep or dont keep ? This shows that you are superiority complex, and your lack of interest.
If you have that much knowledge, then what you do now is put in deletion review, and rescue the article which is extremely well sourced.
This user claims that the aforementioned actor acted in so many Indian languages including Gowri Kalyana (Kannada, full film on YouTube) and Nila Pennae (Tamil). I am shocked because these statements are 100% false and Wikipedia editors should take action. That old revision said he acted in two Tamil-language films, which is 100% false.

Hi DaxServer, I'm Baffle gab1978, a coordinator at the Guild of Copy Editors. I've removed your copy-edit request for Windows 8 at the Guild of Copy Editors Requests pagehere. I've done this because the page currently has a limit of two (2) requests per editor at any one time. We enforce this limit to ensure every request has a fair chance of being fulfilled in a reasonable time. If you'd like this article to be copy-edited before one of your extant requests, you're welcome to swap them over. You can re-add your latest request as soon as one of your others has been copy-edited, and you're welcome to discuss the removal at the talk page. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Cheers, Baffle☿gab19:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I went to the template's page (Pending film) and saw that you created the template, which prompted me to come to your talk page. I have tried to add this template into the filmography table of many actors, but can't seem to understand why it doesn't work. Whenever I insert the template into the table cell along with the upcoming film's name, the cell does not look how it is supposed to. All i see is this text without any cell coloring ( Example : |style="background: #FFD; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; " class="partial table-partial"|Film Name ). I have tried numerous times to perform the same action but it is always in vain. Hence, I would be grateful if you could tell me why I am running into this muddle. Thank you.

Hello, DaxServer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Setu".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
If I understand all the discussions right, it exists in the software but is not assignable to anyone, at least in the WMF-managed wikis. I wonder if it's used in third-party installations — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 14:48, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree with the case of CE and Citations but I find it irrational (bias?) that you removed Gallery Images of Notable people's section, If you understand what I mean then you should checkout Muhajirs (Pakistan) they also have Images in gallery section which you haven't objected too.
Please take that issue to that article's talk page. We don't put such galleries in notable people sections, perhaps one or two in extraordinary cases where those pics add value to the article. — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · e · c) 11:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC) — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · e · c) 11:44, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I added a few details to the said page earlier. However, you omitted the majority of what I added and retained only a small portion of it. I had knowingly put it in those words by taking into consideration, the earlier text in the same header. Everything I had added was supported by the citations. Hence, it would be nice if you could explain to me, what the "minor errors" were. Thanks. ChaitanyaJo (talk) 11:40, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Starkex. I noticed that you recently removed content from Naseeruddin Shah without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You had reverted and removed an entire section of "Controversies" which he was responsible for those included commentaries on Kashmir Files and Safety in India and further criticisms made by him on various actors/actresses, and the reason you provided wasn't proper (See: Strawman Fallacy). ⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 20:41, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

I have noticed you have raised a banner to remove content.
The only content which has a similarity to any other website is the vision and mission of the ISRO page which came under ISRO#Management section. As this is an organization, I can only write the mission and vision of the above-mentioned organization in nearly the way, but I have tried to change it slightly from the original. if you feel like it is infringing content, you can remove it. There is no other infringing content remaining on the page, you can remove the banner.
The other point I need to mention is that Exploratory Mission should come under planetary sciences as it is the study of planets not just Earth. I have developed this page in a similar format as NASA, as I found it to be organized in a better format. On that page, you can see the Management section(which tells about the organization), coming before the History section.

Phoolan Devi
Hi DaxServer, I notice you edited Phoolan Devi a while back, so I'm wondering if you'd be interested to to give any comments at Wikipedia:Peer review/Phoolan Devi/archive1. Specifically I'd love a definitive answer on naming conventions since the guidance, and sources, are for me unclear on whether to refer to her as Devi or Phoolan Devi after first mention. I think I remember pinging you to the GA discussion so apologies if this comes across as badgering, that's not my intention, I just thought you might (like me) have pings turned off.

misunderstanding of the use of "my" trademark Film/Video-Based Therapy
Hello Dax,
I wanted to discuss the recent dispute regarding the deletion of my academic works on Wikipedia. It seems there might be a misunderstanding about my trademark, which is not associated with any commercial activities or selling. These publications are solely academic works aimed at contributing to my field of expertise. Deleting them raises concerns about academic integrity and the accuracy of information on Wikipedia. I kindly request evidence supporting the claim that I am profiting from Wikipedia, as I am not receiving any financial gain from my contributions. I believe open communication and understanding are vital to resolving this matter in a way that upholds Wikipedia's principles and respects the academic nature of the content. Drjoshcohen (talk) 05:59, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello User:Drjoshcohen! Why do I get a feeling that you used ChatGPT to generate the text above? Anyway, I'd recommend some reading as to what the purpose of Wikipedia is. I'm on mobile and will write a response later. For now, please visit WP:TEAHOUSE where other editors would help newbies like you! — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · e · c) 06:06, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Reliable source
Hi , i provided a source from NEWS-18 which is a branch of CNN-IBN , a national organisation.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Firstpost. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Hi DaxServer,
You stated in the summary of my submission decline that the sources are not in-depth, reliable, secondary.
However, the sources I've cited are the articles from well-known news portals/publishers and most of them talk in-depth on the company for the article. Can you please give a bit more details or can you reconsider? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki119988 (talk • contribs) 05:33, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits and subsequent reversion
hello daxserver, regarding my recents edits related to the article China–India relations , the edit is reverted citing unconstructive edit. I want to emphasize the point that the image of India shown in the article is not in accordance with the Survey of India, the national mapping organization for the country and hence the image is not in accordance with the Survey of India i just want to add a disclaimer stating that the map image is not the official map of the country. Providing such a disclaimer will aid the readers to clear the ambiguity related to the portrayal of the Indian map image. kindly guide so that i can provide a disclaimer citing the image is not the official indian map Abin tvm (talk) 16:54, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, the article we submitted was declined, but all the articles and references we quoted were from reliable third party trade publications and were independent coverage. Can it be reconsidered?
The Screen Daily coverage and the Deadline coverage both seem to cover the written wiki guidelines for notability as both articles provide overview, description and commentary of the company:
"significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization."
There is also good L.A times coverage of one of the companies films, but the article doesn't mention the company itself so I thought that might not count.

I think you need to change the one you gave here. You meant Contentious topics/alert/first|ipa. I've made errors with these - forgetting that once they get a first alert on any topic, the next alert for a different topic must not be a "first" alert. Doug Wellertalk12:55, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey Doug, yes, I wondered the same a couple of hours ago this morning if I gave the correct one!! I'll correct it. Thanks for dropping by ^^ — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · e · c) 13:59, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
The first/subsequent notification system is a pain and afaik the new notifications are not integrated with Twinkle etc. But not having to renew the notifications every year is a big relief for notifiers, admins and, I assume, recipients. So I'll take it. :) Abecedare (talk) 14:40, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Interesting script @TrangaBellam. I find the Twinkle approach to be rather cumbersome as it needs to be done twice to accept the AbuseFilter notice. I created a RedWarn custom message as RW would show an alert making everything easy, altho I had to make the template for both first and subsequent alerts (ipa + blp = 4) but that wasn't a big deal as I only deal with these 2 topics. I'd recommend that approach if you're willing to try it out ;) — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 14:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Draft for submission of new article
Thanks for your initial review and comments on Draft:Jim Byron (executive). Good point regarding strengthening the number of third party reliable sources; in addition to the Politico article, I've identified sources from the LA Times, Wall Street Journal and Associated Press that report on the subject and added those into the draft. I invite you to take another look as I believe this now has the qualifications that warrant a new article. Thank you, TundraTank (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
I saw you reverted those edits and i shall request you to remove your reverts kindly. As I already mentioned in my edit summary that i removed them as they were misleading, they are. The reasons are follows:-
1. It says that hindutva follows an ideology of seperatism than I should tell you that it does Not. As it follows the ideology of merging countries in south and south eadt aisa but not seperatism and that is also unofficiallyamd officialy as the RSS have always opposed it you cant say that it is its ideology because RSS is the main leading itentity of hindutva.
2. It says that it is inspired by European fascism than I must tell you that it does not as the fascism has an ideology of "cultural domination" or we can say hating other cultutres but hindutva has a policy of "culutral pride" or you may interpret it that hindutva feels pride in its culture and "protects" it.
If you want to discuss more you may send ke in my talk page.
@DaxServer I have a query. I want to see revision history of Lok Sabha of February 2014. But when I am increasing the limit of edits, the oldest edit is being shown on 9 May 2014.

Mahabharata War dating to be 4000 BCE reference from Capt. Ajit Vadakayil blog
Hi Daxserver,
I am new to wikipedia, I received your message that you have deleted my reference of Capt. Ajit Vadakayil word press site from Kurukshetra war. I have concern on dating of Mahabharata war shown by Wikipedia. Kurukshetra war is mentioned as 3100 BCE in the wiki page, however the actual war happened 4000 BCE, and you can refer Capt. Ajit Vadakayil blog for reference on Mahabharata war dating.
KMAQ (AM) was bundled with KMAQ-FM in the AfD nomination. I removed it as I saw you had done with the FM’s article, but could you double-check the AM’s article, please, to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Thanks! Stereorock (talk) 14:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
That's a great research into its history and timeline; quite informative. Thanks @Redrose64. Do you think we should amend the TfD along with a note that you're in the process of posting while I was closing? (I don't mind if you go ahead and amend with the note, but I don't know how others would react to editing a "closed" discussion.) Alternatively, posting at the talk page of one or both of the templates would be more useful, as this will add good context for future reference — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 10:27, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
I think the cleanest way would be for you to undo your close at the TfD page, without undoing any of the associated edits to templates and their talk pages, copy the bulk of my post above (from the first asterisk down to the signature, inclusive) and paste it at the bottom of the TfD text (with a link to this thread in your edit summary, for attribution purposes), and then you may re-close the TfD taking my post into account. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:40, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello DaxServer, I left a few comments regarding this on the discussions themselves when I noticed them, but I am not sure you have received them: please avoid relisting move discussions before the initial week of discussion has ever been completed. For example, Talk:WMTV (College of William & Mary) was relisted today about half a day earlier than should have been possible. There are a few reasons for this: the relisting may appear to be a finger on the scale, relisted discussions are supposed to be eligible for immediate closure at any time, etc. There is not really any harm in waiting for discussion periods to elapse. (In fact, while I don't think it's necessary to adhere to this, WP:RMRELIST assumes that relisting will happen to backlogged discussions rather than elapsed ones—that would imply already having 8 days of discussion.) Best, Dekimasuよ!08:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
Tambaram and Avadi as separate cities and not suburban areas
Both the above municipal towns which were considered suburbs of Chennai have been re-designated as City Corporations and several other town municipalities,town panchayats and village panchayats merged into them as wards.Instead of considering them suburbs,they can be considered as separate cities and the areas merged into them as neighbourhoods under the city corporation like in the case of Gurgaon,Thane,Navi Mumbai etc which are separate cities within an urban agglomeration.

@DaxServer Hello, DaxServer, recently you denied my Wikipedia on the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama. Please note that ASGPP is a national non-profit membership professional organization for people interested in the practice of psychodrama in many disciplinary fields -- very similar to the American Art Therapy Association, which already has an entry in Wikipedia and many other professional membership associations, such as the American Medical Association, the American Counseling Association, the American Group Psychotherapy Association, the National Association of Social Workers, the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, and on and on.
I do not gain any financial or other benefit by posting this information.
