New Page Patrol needs experienced volunteers
  • New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
  • If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions and review our instructions page. You can apply for the user-right HERE. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)(click me!) 22:36, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Fylindfotberserk, hope all is well. When you have time, can you look into Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta. There are many issues with these articles regards the martyrs whom B. B. D. Bagh is named after. Would appreciate if you as an experienced user will look into these articles. 2600:1001:B00E:C6FD:D8AD:22E7:C179:6C9F (talk) 05:09, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – March 2020

News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2020).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, the blocking policy was changed to state that sysops must not undo or alter CheckUser or Oversight blocks, rather than should not.
  • A request for comment confirmed that sandboxes of established but inactive editors may not be blanked due solely to inactivity.

Technical news

  • Following a discussion, Twinkle's default CSD behavior will soon change, most likely this week. After the change, Twinkle will default to "tagging mode" if there is no CSD tag present, and default to "deletion mode" if there is a CSD tag present. You will be able to always default to "deletion mode" (the current behavior) using your Twinkle preferences.

About the Editor S. M. Nazmus Shakib

Sir,This Editor is totally Doing wrong editing Intentionnally I think he has his personal problem with those persons Wiki Page.... Aniket kr. Shaw (talk) 04:31, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

About Sourav Singh wiki page

Sir,Please see Sourav Singh Page someone Request for deletion sir,can You please Give Him warning Wrong editing on my created Page Regards Aniket Aniket kr. Shaw (talk) 04:26, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

@Aniket kr. Shaw: As per WP:POLOUTCOMES policy In general: Municipal and other local politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits. You have to prove that Sourav Singh has received National and /or International news coverage, then only, as per Local politicians whose office would not ordinarily be considered notable may still clear the bar if they have received national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role. For example, a small-town mayor or city councillor who was the first LGBT person ever elected to office in their country, or who emerged as a significant national spokesperson for a political issue, may be considered notable on that basis. Note that this distinction may not simply be asserted or sourced to exclusively local media; to claim notability on this basis, the coverage must be shown to have nationalized or internationalized well beyond their own local area alone. clause of the above policy, the page can be survived. As for the user, he seems to be in a "request for deletion" spree. One of my own articles got flagged by him. The person got some coverage, but. Anyway, you can comment/contest it here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:26, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Mizo Language

Hello Sir,I am Zozo1234Zozo1234 who happen to be an ethnic Mizo,I just want to clarify that,no we Mizos do not use Bengali-Assamese script as one of our writing system,I simply do not want other people to have the wrong notion so I decided to remove it.

@Zozo1234: We do not remove sourced content. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:41, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Michelle McCool

not involved in edit war The Undertaker was listed as spouse but someone changed it to his real name I prefer Wrestler names because many people know them as such it was Undertaker for a Long time till someone put his real name. I dont mind it because people edit pages but it doesnt have a policy. it's the same for Stephanie McMahon her spouse had Triple H alone and then someone decided to put Paul "Triple H" Levesque. Why? If I meet Shawn Michaels Im gonna tell my friends I met Shawn Michaels at the mall last night I'm not gonna say hey I met Michael Hickenbottom yesterday they gonna say who is Michael Hickenbottm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.205.250.252 (talk) 16:11, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

This July 2018 version also writes "Mark Calaway". It seems it has been for long. many established editors have edited the article since, but none bothered to change it to Mark Calaway. It would be best if you discuss that in the article's talk page. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:29, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

User ban nomination

Hello, I'm sending this message as a reply to your thank response to some edits I made recently. As you might have noticed, the anonymous user with ip address 202.88.225.238 is making large scale destructive edits. I tried to revert as much as possible, Please refer my edit history to find more details. I request you to nominate that id for a ban from wikipedia editing. As a new wikipedian, I don't have a clear idea about the procedure. Please help me with this. SnehaRaphael1996 (talk) 12:57, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism.

Hi, this page Maratha Clan System is under an edit war please take a look at it. Thanks. HinduKshatrana (talk) 09:25, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Fylindfotberserk, this is We are the Great. I can see that the Wikipedia user, Correction With Evidence, not only added unsourced edits to the page for Maratha Clan System, but also engaged in an edit war in the page of Kavi Kalash. So did you take a look on the page and saw what was going on and let the other Wikipedian editors know about that? Thanks! We are the Great (talk) 21:54, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

@We are the Great: That editor was adding large amounts of unsourced content and personal commentary in those articles. That's why their edits got reverted. I didn't notify other editors but some people like Jonathansammy and Acharya63 are very active in these articles. They'll take care of those if I'm not around. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:11, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
@Flylindfotberserk: That means that Jonathansammy and Acharya63 were professional editors like you. I think this user who vandalised Maratha Clan System and Kavi Kalash knew all about this, but they didn't make the cut because they were unsourced edits. However, when I was seeing the revision history of the Maratha Clan System, I couldn't see what the user wrote in the Maratha Clan System because it was blocked, and I really wanted to know what did the user wrote in the page. Why Wikepidia users can't see this? We are the Great (talk) 01:06, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
@We are the Great: We do not get paid for our edits, so we are not professional editors . We happen to be more experienced, that's it. Those edits that I reverted were unsourced, not WP:NEUTRAL and done to restore sourced content that the disruptive editor removed. The revisions which we are not able to view are WP:REVDELED. Those likely were in violation of copyright. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:19, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
@Flylindfotberserk: Ok, I meant experienced editors. Thanks! We are the Great (talk) 19:09, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
@Flylindfotberserk: So what you said about how editors don't get paid, I can tell that this is why Wikipedia is a non-profit organization for editing, right? We are the Great (talk) 14:31, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Probably. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:34, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

date formats per MOS:DATEFORMAT by script

Hi Fylindfotberserk.

I imagine you're getting a bit fed up with having to chase around a certain editor putting the dates 'right'? 😒 I presume DMY is a standard Indian format?

The next section of the N. Chandrababu Naidu due for a copy-edit barely makes any sense, to me, anyway. 😣

"By launching the Janmabhoomi (BirthPlace) in February 1996 the Naidu governments main aim was to get people's movement for reconstruction and revitalization of the society by themselves and the Programme works in a micro level planning is to identify people represented problems through Gram Sabhas discussions by regional officers especially in villages and to send categorical Project proposals for govt to work in transparency as responsive Centre for Good Governance while main concentration in core aspect areas are community work, primary school education, drinking water, health & hospitals, family welfare and environmental protection with the initiation plan of watershed and Joint Forest management activities[27] and from 1997 onwards as part of Janmabhoomi under the Clean and Green Campaign where the schools students and teachers participated in institutional and household plantation with the government employees jointly involved in plantation of 46 million trees in now Telangana and entire Andhra Pradesh state and about 3,906,835 people participated in sanitation work also with 1,438,850 persons engaged to remove garbage and 40,921,447 people participated in health awareness rallies as Naidu's idea was to make every habitation and municipal ward clean and green which is the Largest and successful events organized."

Oh dear, that is one sentence!

At least somebody has been able to provide sources for the parts I tagged as needing a citation. 🤷‍

Regards, 220 of Borg 04:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: Yeah DMY is the format to be used in Indian articles. Really appreciate your contribution to that article. As for the content, a lot of these put by Invisibelibrarian looks unnecessary, just to puff up the article. The user has Fan POV issues, likely COI too. They have been flagged for PUFFERY and Copyright strikes before as can be seen in this version of their talkpage. I added that Fan POV tag at the top of the article, which they tried to remove many times without explanation. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:17, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Date format noted.
Any idea what this means? I removed it in my last 'big' edit here, but our colleague has returned it. :-/
Ps. We edit conflicted when I was doing that edit. ;-| (Shrug) 220 of Borg 03:31, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
I see you are still having to 'fix' the date formats.
Our friend still seems to think "Naidu played a crucial role in reshaping Hyderabad as a world class happening city with global name recognition" is suitable for an encyclopaedia. Related edit Summary "its imp" (important?) See here 220 of Borg 07:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

07:52, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: "Naidu played a crucial role in reshaping Hyderabad as a world class happening city with global name recognition" WTF. This guy is on Naidu's payroll it seems. No, I don't have any idea what this means either. I'll remove it. Seems she/he is using google translate. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:59, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

Amit Shah

This is regarding the Wikipedia page of Amit Shah well even if you consider quora as non trusted source of information so let me remind you if information and incident is being testified by the multiple source the information is bound to be authentic. Here is another source, now coming to quora yes one answer or two answer can be wrong but i have cited 2 threads in which majority of the answers were same . This clearly state the authenticity.

Hi Fylindfotberserk, I'm planning to expand the articles of Thanjavur Marathi Diwans like T. Madhava Rao, with more content about their Administration and works, do you know anyone who's significantly contributing on this topic, Thanks. MRRaja001 (talk) 19:09, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

MRRaja001, Thanks for asking mate. I don't know anyone specifically working in that article, perhaps you can ask Acharya and Johnathansammy. And kindly take care of the WP:NCIN and MOS:HONORIFICS things in the article. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:04, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
I know Acharya63 and Jonathansammy, we discussed many times about the contents on Deshastha Brahmin, [[Karhade Brahmin, Chitpavan and Maharashtrian Brahmin, Anyway Thanks for suggesting them, i'll ask them about this. MRRaja001 (talk) 17:48, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

MRRaja001, Seems fine to me. Obviously you can turn it into an awesome article . I'll check it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:52, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Waris Pathan reversion

Hello,

Can you explain in more detail why you reverted my revision to the Waris Pathan page? Your comment was "Do not modify quote by the article subject. It is against Wikipedia guidelines + MOS:NUMERALS." But from my perspective I was not changing any of his words, I was only adding an English translation. I think from my edit it was clear that the English translation was not his, since it was outside the quotation marks. To be honest I was a little unsure about the translation (I don't speak Hindi or any Indian language), but that was part of the point; when I first read his article I found it completely inscrutable from the point of view of a non-Indian reader. I think for it to be understandable to a non-Indian, there needs to be an explanation of how "Bharat Mata ki Jai" is different from "Jai Hind". I welcome your thoughts.

As for the guideline on MOS:NUMERALS, that seems irrelevant since I didn't change any numbers. Shmarrighan (talk) 22:38, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

@Shmarrighan: I thought you changed the quotes. Yesterday, I wasn't feeling well and wikEdDiff made it look wrong. As for the MOS:NUMERALS, I botched big time. Was meaning MOS:NUMNOTES, since I thought you added the year at the beginning of the sentence, failed to see the 'If'. I've restored it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:58, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Got it, thanks. Hope you're feeling better! Shmarrighan (talk) 21:20, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@Shmarrighan: A little better. Thank you . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 05:32, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your edit

Hi Fylindfotberserk , Regarding this edit mate, [1] - she may not be notable but I think we should add her name back for Educational purposes. Since he's very famous person many people would search for his mother's name too. What do you say? MRRaja001 (talk) 23:51, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

@MRRaja001: I believe we should refrain from giving this subject any special favors and maintain what's being said in the template documentation here ie Names of parents; include only if they are independently notable or particularly relevant.. To be fair, his father T. Ranga Rao isn't deemed notable since the article got deleted from the main space. As for educational purpose, I believe WP:READERS wouldn't stop at the infobox and the information on his parents / relatives is very much present /can be elaborated in the article body. It would be nice if you could recover T. Ranga Rao article. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:59, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Ok Mate i understood. And another thing T.Ranga Rao was Diwan of Travancore, how can he be not notable Fylindfotberserk, Can you do me a favor, can you recover the page. I'll add content to it with proper citations. Because i don't know why it was deleted. MRRaja001 (talk) 08:23, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
@MRRaja001: Well T.Ranga Rao seems notable. But subjects without article are typically considered non-notable in Wikipedia, however the reason for deletion of that article was not the notability of T.Ranga Rao, but because the article was created by some banned user, as you can see here. For undeletion, you can request it at WP:REFUND. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:06, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
Right now I'm working on many articles Mate. I'll request after completing these, anyways Thanks.MRRaja001 (talk)
@MRRaja001: Keep up the good work friend. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:21, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding a article

Hi Mate, I came across this article unexpectedly while searching for some saints of India. Lot of content written about him without any citations and references. I also searched about him but couldn't find a single Citation or Reference. Can you check this article once. MRRaja001 (talk) 07:48, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello MRRaja001. Yeah, seems the article needs to be rewritten. I'll put a tag on that. This book might be helpful, but I'm unable to view it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:59, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Mate, please see the description of that book, it's written that the source of content in the book is WIKIPEDIA. MRRaja001 (talk) 9:04, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
MRRaja001, LOL I didn't even notice - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:08, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Fylindfotberserk, As per my research he's not a notable person. He's only notable on Youtube and their self published website. Fails WP:GNG. - MRRaja001 (talk) 09:21, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
MRRaja001, Exactly my thoughts the first time I checked that article. I forgot to share that with you. Looked highly promotional. Slap an AfD - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:36, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Nomination for AfD, Done !!! MRRaja001 (talk) 10:14, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hi mate, Can you go through the Articles created by me and give me suggestions where to improve according to Wikipedia policies. MRRaja001 (talk) 10:41, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

I can help, but this is a long list. It would be nice if you point me to specific articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:22, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Here they are - Raghuttama Tirtha, K. T. Pandurangi, Satyabodha Tirtha, Satyanatha Tirtha, G. T. Deshpande, Satyadhyana Tirtha, G. T. Deshpande, B. N. Krishnamurti Sharma, Venu Rajamony - MRRaja001 (talk) 12:11, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
OK, I'll check these and tell you in time. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:25, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding Nitin Gadkari article

Hi Fylindfotberserk, lot of vandalism is taking place on Nitin Gadkari article, many people are coming and even removing quotes in citations, can you please revert them back and request protection to the page. MRRaja001 (talk) 14:31, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

@MRRaja001: I've restored the quote, but if you are worried about the mention of "Deshastha Brahmin" caste, then find a source in which Gadkari himself says that he is a Brahmin. According to consensus at WP:INB, caste of a BLP (living person) need to be self-identified. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:41, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
No, not for that Fylindfotberserk. I'm not interested in Deshastha thing anymore, and no need to add his caste. I've my own interests, i'm not a casteist. The only thing is content is getting vandalised, that is the only concern i have. I have written articles even for prominent people belonging to other communities too, you can see them if you want. MRRaja001 (talk) 14:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
@MRRaja001: NO man, I wasn't making any allegation. If you thought so, then my bad. Anyone, you me, can add caste, except that it needs to be self-identified. That's what I was just conveying to you. If you are asking me to keep an eye on that article, I can do it. NO problemo. And keep up the good work. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Sure, please keep an eye on that article. I know that caste should be self identified, especially the living people, anyway Thanks for the caution. MRRaja001 (talk) 15:04, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi Fylindfotberserk, Please [read this] you'll come to know why so many quotes were added at " into a Marathi family" in Nitin Gadkari article. In January-February 2019 many people were coming and adding CKP to Nitin Gadkari article. So, i and Acharya63 decided to figure this out. That was the only reason, why so many citations with quotes are added, these quotes were added only for the clarification. MRRaja001 (talk) 15:26, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
@MRRaja001: Well I get that. Now that I've watchlisted it, I'll not let anybody at CKP. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:37, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding friend!!! - MRRaja001 (talk) 17:14, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Khatri

Bhaiya koi Gotibro karke profile hai jo khatri me delete kar rhi source. Aapo dekh lijiye. U see. Thank u. Pandya101 (talk) 17:32, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

@Pandya101: Bhai, sources from British period are not considered reliable as per consensus because British sources are known for their exaggerations. That's probably the reason Gotitbro is removing that stuff. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:40, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Greek source. Y delete when source give. Pandya101 (talk) 18:32, 18 March 2020 (UTC) Pandya101 (talk) 18:38, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

@Pandya101: Bhai source British writer ki woh book hain, jo yeh keh rahan hain ki "Greek sources me ... wagerah wagerah". Lekin, British sources ko maanyata nahi di gayi Wikipedia ke consensus me. Wahi kaaran bataa kar Gotitbro bhai ne who content delete kiya. Aap chaahe to Gotitbro ke talkpage par kaaran poonch sakte hain. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:58, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your opinion

Hi Fylindfotberserk, i researched a lot about Deshasthas, their migration and later their Administration and thought to contribute to Deshastha Brahmin Wikipage but now i'm in dilemma after you telling that i'm worried about "Deshastha Brahmins" and contributing to only Deshastha Brahmins. I want your opinion friend, should i continue to contribute to Deshastha Brahmin page or should i drop because, i was the person who elaborated the Classification, Demographics and the History part - especially the Millitary & Administration sections before that there was no content in these sections. I want to even contribute to other communities and other religions. Because in my opinion these things are very important. At First when i saw Deshastha Brahmin page it was unorganized even the List of Deshastha Brahmins page was unorganized and it took lot of effort to set it right. In my opinion all are equal, but without contributing and writing about them no one knows about them. This was the main reason why i decided to write about Deshasthas. I was the person who wrote about the origin, cultute, language, diet and so on in Karhade Brahmin page before that there was nothing in that page, you can see the history Mate. Anyway i'll be waiting for your reply. I'll contribute only after your reply, Thanks. - MRRaja001 (talk) 06:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
@MRRaja001: I don't remember judging you, telling that you are worried about Deshastha Brahmins only. On the contrary, I'm happy that you are doing a magnificent task expanding a lot of articles and have expressed that many times before. Now if you are pointing to this sentence in my comment above :- but if you are worried about the mention of "Deshastha Brahmin" caste, then find a source in which Gadkari himself says that he is a Brahmin.., I already explained that the comment was restricted to Nitin Gadkari's BLP article that needs self-identification. I'd have the same stand if you or somebody else writes Rajput in e.g. say Rajnath Singh article (I've removed that in the past because of self-identification issue). If someone (including you and me) finds a source in which Gadkari says "I am a Deshastha Brahmin" or "Brahmin", then by all means, they can add that. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:47, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Sorry for misunderstanding. Ya, I agree with you, even i have removed caste of Vikram Pandit, also Corrected C. N. R. Rao's since they are BLP's. Now onwards if anyone adds caste in BLP's i'll check wheather they are self-identified or not. Anyway Thanks for the reply. - MRRaja001 (talk) 09:08, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
@MRRaja001: That's OK mate. Thanks for taking care of those articles. I've removed caste in Sachin Tendulkar article, since it was not slef-identified. You can check this consensus, that'll come handy when explaining people about it. There are other discussions as well. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:41, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Sure friend!!!! - MRRaja001 (talk) 09:43, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

shobhana date of birth

i saw that you had reverted the addition of date and month of birth of shobhana. hope you think these data is irrelevant, thank you.--Dvellakat (talk) 01:54, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

@Dvellakat: The accompanying sources only mention her year of birth. I wasn't able to find the day and month in any reliable source. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 05:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
sorry i will give the exact source.--Dvellakat (talk) 06:18, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
@Dvellakat: That needs to be reliable. From news source, etc. Please do not use StarUnfolded, Cinestan, Filmibeat, etc. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:21, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

User "Dinesh 2069"

Respected sir, user "Dinesh 2069" edits are improper. I request you to go through his contributions made in article Karna talk page. He opened discussion on Regard sexual assault accusation and used highly unparliamentary wordings. Even in his talk page, he used harsh language on me. So I kindly request you to look into it sir. Thank you. Your's obediently.

Sri Harsha 18:20, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Sir, this is talk he replied me:

"Again I provided proper citations. There was no question of vandalism. You just don't want facts and have kept fake info without looking at their source and details. Atleast have the courage to admit the truth. (Dinesh2069 (talk) 07:05, 23 December 2019 (UTC))"

I'll check this in time. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:30, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Reagrding your edit summary. Can you be more specific about the block evasion? It may be time to start semiprotecting some articles. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 14:37, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: Thanks for asking. I believe banned User:Joshi punekar is behind the IP. Joshi punekar had problems with the Diet section of this caste and a few others. See the similarity [2], [3]. I could have started an SPI, but considering that the IP might change soon. A PP would be real nice sir. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:20, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
I semiprotected Gaud Saraswat Brahmin and List of Gaud Saraswat Brahmins. Let me know of any others. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:17, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
@EdJohnston:Sure. They were active here, but the article got PPed by MelanieN. This person is active in Marathi/Konkani Brahmin articles. I'll let you know if I come across these kind of vandalism. Thanks for protecting that article. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:23, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Regarding a IP Vandalism

Hi Fylindfotberserk, This person is indulging in persistent vandalism. We need to do something, Thanks - MRRaja001 (talk) 09:54, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@MRRaja001: I reverted that guy in the Maratha caste article. It seems some people choose to indulge in Wikipedia vandalism as a way to keep themselves busy in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Don't worry I'll keep an eye. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
Hahaha:)...Okay. - MRRaja001 (talk) 10:02, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

24th March 2020

I'm ChannelZone, i was made editing on Hindustani language article, i've added Zabān-e Urdū-e Mualla and Hindavi at nativename, and it's not an ban revert, because that is already written in 5th paragraph Hindustani language#History that Hindustani was called Mualla. —Preceding undated comment added 17:05, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

ChannelZone, That was the historical term of the prestige dialect. The next para writes "..only as a dialect of Hindi with admixture of Persian". So this term as its modern name is incorrect. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Query

Do you know how many kittens you have given? DTM (talk) 14:34, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

@DiplomatTesterMan: To whom? You or everybody combined? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
To everyone of course :) do you remember when you started and why? A recent thing or old? Just asking out of curiosity. DTM (talk) 14:45, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
@DiplomatTesterMan: Fairly recent thing, probably since late 2018 or early 2019. Why because multiple reasons, but a lot of time in reply to a "Thank" notice. I have an urge to say "welcome" (I have mild OCD) and since cats are my favorite, you get the idea.. . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:50, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation :) and since I put all my gifts along with the barnstars on my userpage, I have put this too. And in another way I was just thinking of it as maybe like an article for The Signpost... like somethings some people on Wikipedia do. Like that day someone corrected me when I wrote 'comprised of' and I ended finding a whole userpage written about why they do it User:Giraffedata/comprised of... but then the effort to find more uff. Getting back to what I was here for, thanks for the explanation. I actually saw the kitten on K3s page today, ive seen it a few times before, so I just had to ask. Anyway. Happy editing. DTM (talk) 15:08, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
@DiplomatTesterMan: Thanks for asking lol. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:20, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism on Dravidian people

Two users seem to vandalize and remove much content in the article Dravidian peoples. They must be stopped. I hope you can take a look and make interventions.149.7.35.162 (talk) 15:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Need help

Hello Sir, could you please help me in expanding this article and get it to the article space (as I could not find many reliable sources for this). Thank you. Tolly4bolly 02:27, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

@Tolly4bolly: Thanks for asking sir. I've expanded the article a little with some reliable sources. You can flesh out some more info from the sources however those are mostly about the film being unfavorably received and problems with the actress. Let me know if you could find some more information from reliable sources. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:09, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you once again for the expansion and addition of more reliable sources. I will re-submit the article as I can't find more on the article on any reliable sources. Tolly4bolly 10:12, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
@Tolly4bolly: Yup, try that. If they say that more sources are required, let me know. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:19, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Request

Sir, I copied your format in user page and filled my data. If you feel that I did mistake please mention me on my talk page. Thank you

Sri Harsha 06:36, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

@Sri Harsha 191817: Not a problem sir, since you changed it to your own stats. A lot of people copy from my format. One guy even copy pasted everything and published, (Fylindfotberserk and all). You are the first one who acknowledged that, so thank you.
A suggestion. To sign your comments, use "~~~~" after the last word in your comment. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:14, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Merger proposal

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wang_Shixian. Please give your opinion about this Proposal. You'll see that Wang Shixian page really has less content compared to other players. Please Visit talk page of Wang Yihan also. Same case as before. You may notice that now there is no more scope of improvements in any of the page and splitting it up ends as a bad decision knowing that both have very less amount of content when compared to Ratchanok Intanon, Saina Nehwal etc. Please give your view. Thanks. Zoglophie (talk) 19:53, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

@Zoglophie: Yup, a merger seems logical. I've commented in the article as per your request. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:06, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks.Zoglophie (talk) 10:15, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Here are two more requests for you, please give your opinion about Wang Yihan & Li Xuerui too because a discussion is required for merging proposal and seems like nobody's taking any interest in it except two of us. Thanks. Zoglophie (talk) 12:07, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

help a newbie

Greetings!

Thank you for directing me here. i have neither the experience nor the knowledge in editing here on Wikipedia hence that initial editing (i apologize for my ignorance) where i went on to remove a whole section (i guess that would amount to vandalism?). i have noted your suggestion and will proceed to contribute there but before i do that i wanted to ask you few questions, i will be grateful if you can spare your time in helping me out...

is there an administrator or a curator or maybe an owner of a page? should we, always, contact them before we edit the pages? (i am asking this because it is such an inconvenience having to re-type) also regarding the relevance of the content/subject should we contact before editing and if so whom should we contact.. (also how to find out/or how do we know whom to contact?)

also if i see certain sentence/information etc which are not true/factual how do i contact the person instead of replacing the sentence or adding the information? ( for example in Nagaland page under Antiquity in the second paragraph there is this line "There have been demands by political groups in Nagaland to rename the state to Naganchi". this is not true and nowhere in Nagaland or India will one find such claim... even the word/name Naganchi has no meaning whatsoever)

(i still have a long way to go and i hope that you will continue to guide and help. Thank You once again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by H.S.Naga (talkcontribs) 12:17, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


@H.S.Naga: Thanks for communicating. There are administrators in Wikipedia, but there are NO article owners. Although anyone can create an article. As for you retyping the things again and again,
  • you can go to the article history (which saves every version since the inception of the article),
  • click on the version you edited,
  • open it up in the edit window,
  • copy the contents and then paste it in the relevant article.
In your case, from Nagaland article to Naga people article. Hope this helps and let me know if you get stuck doing it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:26, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by H.S.Naga (talkcontribs) 12:40, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

@H.S.Naga: You are most welcome. I forgot to write about the "Naganchi" thing you asked above. That text in the article is sourced using [4] reference from Tribune India. The exact text from the source "Proposals are also there to rename Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar, Patna as Patliputra, Hyderabad as Bhagyanagar, Goa as Govapuri, Kerala as Keralam and Nagaland as Naganchi". Now since it is a reliable source as per Wikipedia standards, you need to open a dicussion at Talk:Nagaland. There we can decide on whether to remove it. It seems like Shiv Sena and BJP came up with this name which they claim to be the ancient name of the region. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:15, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
@Fylindfotberserk: Thank you for pointing out the 'talk on Nagaland'(still figuring out so much)... yes i saw the cited page and went through the source...and yes you are right regarding either SS or BJP coming up with proposal as we no one in Nagaland knows about such proposal...anyway i guess it does not matter much to the people concerned (Nagas) and i was concerned because it was not relevant (and also misleading to say that political groups are demanding such, because one reads it as Nagas themselves demanding for change in nomenclature and not by other states)... anyway Thanks for your time.
