Satya (film)

Hi,

Great work on Satya. Why don't you nominate it for GA?- Managerarc™^talk 18:37, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on the article a long time back. My main worry is that some of the sources may no longer be available and getting the article involved in some bureaucratic process will end up with it being massacred by some overzealous editor.

Another problem is that I'm no longer as active on wikipedia as I was 7-8 years back and things tend to happen while I am away. Someone killed a still from the famous Bhiku Mhatre scene ("Mumbai ka king kaun?") that I had originally captured from the DVD citing some NFCC rule. I am not interested in squabbling with people about such things.

The article exists and anyone interested can read it. I'm fine with this status quo. Last Contrarian (talk) 13:52, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Administrative Incidents Noticeboard.

Your name has come up at the Administrative Incidents Noticeboard, the discussion can be found here. --Jobrot (talk) 19:38, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Last Contrarian, I really appreciate your participation at the Cultural Marxism section of the Frankfurt School article and I think many of your remarks are very apropos. I hope you'll be able to continue to work on the page, and participate in discussions. To that end, I wonder if you would take a look at WP:WIKILOVE and consider apologizing for remarks about rabid left-wing editors and the like? I think it might make the admin's job at the ANI section much easier. JerryRussell (talk) 17:36, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My position:

The Cultural Marxism article is presently under the control of left-wing editors who are pushing a POV that has no basis in reality and have repeatedly gotten editors with differing opinions banned/censured by WP:POV RAILROADing them.
This can be easily verified by going through article archives and conversation history.
Anyone who claims that conspiracy theory and theory about a conspiracy are one and the same thing and uses this as an argument to synthesize stuff (Jobrot) is not acting in good faith.
Wikipedia can continue to present an article built upon the foundation of intellectually dishonesty as a fact. That does not make it so.
Wikipedia is unreliable as a source for political topics as it consistently presents left-wing opinion as fact.

In this situation, I have no intention of apologizing for my comments. Last Contrarian (talk) 10:21, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural marxism

I've looked into this in some detail and I think you need to be separated from this topic for a while for the sake of your equilibrium if nothing else. I interpret the ANI discussion as consensus for a topic ban, but I personally think this should be at the shorter end of such bans, so I am topic banning you for three months from the topic of cultural marxism. I strongly urge you to avoid related topics. I honestly think you're better than this and you appear to me to have been egged on by some people you should be ignoring (in venues outside Wikipedia). I'm specifically not invoking the American Politics case and its associated Discretionary Sanctions, but this could have escalated to an arbitration enforcement action and I think you would have had harsher treatment. Guy (Help!) 23:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

you appear to me to have been egged on by some people you should be ignoring (in venues outside Wikipedia).

My opinions are my own. In fact, I might make the same suggestion to everyone involved: stop falling for left-wing propaganda, and stop writing articles that present left-wing propaganda as fact.

I'm specifically not invoking the American Politics case and its associated Discretionary Sanctions, but this could have escalated to an arbitration enforcement action and I think you would have had harsher treatment.

I don't know what this means, but harsher treatment for what? Has anyone even bothered to look into what Jobrot and allies have been doing with the article for the last year, or how he deliberately spammed the talk page in response to a simple question? As it stands, the Cultural Marxism section looks like the work of a Marxist academic at a mediocre institution who has made a half-assed attempt to shoehorn stuff that simply doesn't belong, as well as the liberal use of synthesized "facts."

Wikipedia, today, is extremely unfriendly to casual editors for a couple of reasons:

There are too many "lawyers" around who win by tiring out their opponents. So, stamina, rather than truth/quality wins.
Unlike some people, editing articles is not a day job for casual editors. This effectively gives "ownership" of some articles to editors like Jobrot.

This has been an absolutely nasty experience. No wonder Wikipedia is hemorrhaging editors. Last Contrarian (talk) 10:48, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Hafta

The article Hafta has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is Wiktionary, better suited for inclusion there.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Gotitbro (talk) 20:51, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Hafta for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Hafta is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hafta until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Soumyabrata ^{stay at home} _{wash your hands} ^{to protect from coronavirus} 13:56, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
