Epithet lists

If you believe the many lists of people by epithet (many of them created by me) are not suitable topics, then I suggest you nominate one for WP:Afd as a test case. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:43, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Child marriage

It's not clear to me why you want to keep Scotland/the UK in the section of the European Union, when the UK left the EU (see Brexit). Feel free to move the text into another section, but there is no reason to keep it in the EU section. I really do not understand your reverts. 2A02:2F0F:B3FF:FFFF:0:0:6463:C525 (talk) 13:38, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

I don't want to keep it in the EU section. I want you to either move it to a more appropriate section or leave it alone so that someone else can do it. There is absolutely no reason to delete this information outright. PepperBeast (talk) 13:44, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

There is certainly a reason to remove a country from the section on the European Union if that country is not in the EU; a country being in that section when it's no longer a EU member state makes the section look outdated, and readers may ask themselves what other outdated information is there. That's why I removed it. And there is already a section on the UK in the article: the section "Europe" has the following subsections: European Union, Scandinavia, Balkans/Eastern Europe, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, and United Kingdom! 2A02:2F0F:B3FF:FFFF:0:0:6463:C525 (talk) 14:02, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Typo?

I'm not sure what you meant, but this edit didn't come out as I imagine you planned so I removed it. Star Mississippi 19:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Nice catch, thanks :-) PepperBeast (talk) 20:15, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

You're most welcome. Have a good day Star Mississippi 20:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 14

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Omsk State Library, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rus.

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Do you have any bias against anything?

You removed (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Varna_%28Hinduism%29&diff=1105196488&oldid=1105189728&variant=en) the section 'Varna in Astrology' from Varna (Hinduism) on the contention that we have an article on Hindu Astrology, but didn't remove Varna in Sikh texts section and many other similar sections on the same page, even though wikipedia has articles on Sikhism and subjects equivalent to other sections. Did you take this decision out of any bias against anything? -Riteshmmec (talk) 06:31, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

This is veering in the direction of a personal attack. I'm not removing the info about varna in Sikhism because it's still on-topic-- the topic being social class. The information you're trying to insert is about astrology. Have you considered starting an article about kundali? PepperBeast (talk) 13:18, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@Pepperbeast I added in Horoscope(i.e. astrology), but someone deleted(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1105059864) it from there.

I started an article, but someone moved it to Draft namespace and suggested me to insert in existing varna (Hinduism) page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk%3ARiteshmmec#Draft:Varna_(birth_attribute) ). By the way, the topic is not 'social class', the topic is 'varna'. Riteshmmec (talk) 14:26, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

The first line of Varna (Hinduism) reads "Varṇa (Sanskrit: वर्ण, romanized: varṇa), in the context of Hinduism, refers to a social class within a hierarchical caste system."

The material you added to horoscope was reverted because you didn't have reliable sources for most of the information.

I don't think astrological varna actually needs its own article. I added the classification of astrological signs by varna to Hindu_astrology#Rāśi_–_zodiacal_signs. PepperBeast (talk) 15:36, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@Pepperbeast Thanks. Riteshmmec (talk) 17:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Please don't impose your personal perception on wikipedia pages.

You mentioned that one's varna is not determined by one's astrological varna while making this edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Varna_%28Hinduism%29&diff=1105328922&oldid=1105328605&variant=en) Riteshmmec (talk) 03:54, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Incomplete sentence.

The sentence has been left incomplete after making this edit. Ritez (talk) 18:02, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Strettweg cult wagon

This move was wrong - it is a unique object with a proper name, not a style of artefact. I hope you don't do others like this. Johnbod (talk) 01:31, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

It is no more a proper name than Gundestrup cauldron. PepperBeast (talk) 01:56, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

It is a proper name, exactly like Gundestrup Cauldron. Johnbod (talk) 03:09, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Spinach vs Popeye

Hi Pepperbeast—I'm a longtime animation scholar with the book credits to prove it, but I'm not here to brag... I'm just trying to establish my credentials.

I edited "Spinach in popular culture" today to correct the citation and source for Popeye's theme song (it's not just a catchphrase as indicated, has a different official spelling, an author, and a citable original source).

However, after I made the correction and added the citation via a new note, I found you undid my changes a few hours later, with the comment "Revert good-faith. Article has enough tangential trivia."

But it's not tangential trivia—I was trying to correct the spelling of the phrase and cite its origin and author. I was working on some unrelated E. C. Segar (Popeye creator) research for a new book, noticed the misspelling and lack of source and thought it should be clarified and added. Isn't more accuracy better? Ramapith (talk) 22:17, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it's tangential trivia. Popeye is just barely relevant to the subject of spinach. The name of the composer of Popeye's theme song is a couple of degrees less relevant. PepperBeast (talk) 14:43, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello

You can explain me about your edits. And I can explain you too about my edits. We can cooperate to do more constructively. --Haoreima (talk) 02:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

• Next, etymological explanation exists in many articles. Though not too much elaborate, we need some explanation, like word origin, etc. You will see about them more in academic articles. Because anyone from any parts of the world don't know what it means.
• You should not remove Template:Infobox Sanamahist term.

I need to explain more. You can retain these things.

• I think you are not well exposed to Meitei culture. You commit multiple spelling mistakes in Meitei names. Please take care that too. Because I can't recheck all of them, as those spelling mistakes are mostly found in the middle of the paragraphs.
• Sometimes you remove parts of names of "proper nouns" (Meitei names, might be because you forgot them).
• Please don't remove Meitei language reference websites. Because they contain more information which backs the information on the article, that the English language references missed. I always care for WP:REFBOMB. And in most of the cases, I don't violate this policy.

Btw, please don't think otherwise. I am telling you these all because of the purpose of the welfare of the Wikipedia and us. --Haoreima (talk) 02:30, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

The etymology is completely unnecessary here. It's three perfectly ordinary words, and I've used the Lang template to mark up the translation. I would argue that the vast majority of articles do *not* need etymology sections, and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to include something.

The infobox is likewise superfluous. We have language templates. There's no need to roll your own.

I'm absolutely happy, nay, delighted, to have Meitei spelling corrected. Likewise, the English grammar in some of what you've written is close to unintelligible. I hope you understand that I'm trying to make what you've written understandable.

Otherwise, I'm mostly trying to cut down on WP:OVERLINK and replace duplicate references with named refs. Occasionally, I do encounter some ref bomb, and I remove it where I encounter it, and I will continue to remove external links if they're very tangential od turning into a WP:LINKFARM. PepperBeast (talk) 02:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Agreed. But please retain Meitei language references. They are more important as they contain more information. Haoreima (talk) 03:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Bro! Thanks for your edits in Nongda Lairen Pakhangba. Please don't use the term "Meiti" or "Meitie". I have already explained in my edit summary that it's a dirty term to insult the Meitei people. It's either "Meitei" or "Meetei", that're the formal spellings. Meiti means this in Meitei language. Due to very closeness in spelling, some people willingly use the dirty term to insult the community. You might have done due to not knowing about it. But please remove the term from wherever you added in the past. I removed some as soon as I saw your past edits. But I can't look into your every single edits. Thank you. Regards! :-) --Haoreima (talk) 16:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

A correction

Hello brother! Thank you for your edit in Loiyumba. The Meitei spelling you added is wrong. If you rely on Google Translate, please abstain from doing so. The correct Meitei spelling for Loiyumba is "ꯂꯣꯢꯌꯨꯝꯕ", it's ancient version "Loiyumpa" is ꯂꯣꯢꯌꯨꯝꯄ, and alternative spelling "Loyumba" is ꯂꯣꯌꯨꯝꯕ, its ancient version "Loyumpa" is ꯂꯣꯌꯨꯝꯄ. Thank you.

Thanks for the correction! PepperBeast (talk) 16:59, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I've used the spelling and transcription exactly as it appeared in the image I replaced, but I've corrected the lang template from mti to omp. This is per MOS:TEXTASIMAGES. PepperBeast (talk) 17:18, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Please use {{lang-mni|{{script|mtei|xyz}}}} most of the time. Sometimes, if you are not sure if the term is ancient Meitei (Old Manipuri) or modern Meitei (modern Manipuri), then it's better to use "lang-mni" instead of "lang-omp" in any case. Because mni simply means Manipuri and neither ancient not modern. On the other hand, omp specifically means Old Manipuri. Regarding script, mtei is the only option for both ancient and modern! :-) Haoreima (talk) 18:00, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

One question! Do you know how to read and write Meitei script? How do you write Meitei spellings? I just feel curious about you. Using Google or any technique? Haoreima (talk) 18:02, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm only learning... sometimes, I can copy a word from Manipuri Wikipedia, or, if there's an image of the spelling, I can usually copy that. I don't know how Google would help, exactly. PepperBeast (talk) 19:41, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I think u are right.
