Your contributed article, Dakshina kannada Gowda

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Dakshina kannada Gowda. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Kodagu Gowda. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Kodagu Gowda – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. CombieTractor talk 12:00, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

hi

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject!

Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikiproject Medicine

Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:

Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on our talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
Wikipedia is a kingdom full of a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages!(and thank you for your edit to Ebola/west Africa) --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:27, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Puttur, Karnataka, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. In addition, please do not mark edits as "minor" when they are clearly not. Thank you, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:09, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Languages of India. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 16:27, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

November 2018

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Basques. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Disambiguation link notification for August 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Arebhashe dialect, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Canonical. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vishwanatha Badikana. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 06:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom received convincing evidence that the editors listed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vishwanatha Badikana/Archive are not the same person. We are downgrading the blocks for each to a block for disruptive meatpuppetry, including edit warring, article hijacking, and what appears to be some promotional editing; as well as failing to understand how notability functions here (see WP:42 for a very brief overview). Any administrator may process an unblock request accordingly, taking into account the specifics of each users' participation prior to the SPI.

Vishwanatha Badikana, please review the guide to appealing the blocks and then either use the {{unblock}} template or use the unblock ticket request system to request an unblock (with a preference to the former). You will need to appeal individually from any other user in the group listed in the SPI case above. Izno (talk) 20:01, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock Request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Vishwanatha Badikana (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hi, I would like to request an unblock of my account. I want to clarify that I do not have multiple accounts, and I am an expert in linguistics, as well as a professor and folklorist. I have been editing articles related to the local culture of Tulu, Arebhashe, and Kannada language, as well as the Tulu people. I have a good understanding of Wikipedia's policies, and as the President of Karavali Wikimedians User group, an affiliate of WMF, I am committed to not engaging in any negative behaviors such as meatpuppetry, edit warring, article hijacking, promotional editing, or promoting false notability. I am eager to continue contributing to Wikipedia, and I hope you will consider lifting the block on my account. Thank you-Vishwanatha Badikana (talk) 07:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your unblock request does not indicate any understanding of why you were blocked or what needs to change, just a copy and paste with an "I won't do it again". A convincing unblock request should indicate your understanding of what in specific you did that you shouldn't have, and of what you intend to do in the future instead of that. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:32, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Vishwanatha Badikana (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hi Seraphimblade, Please refer to the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Vishwanatha Badikana/Archive which has been resolved by the ArbCom, message posted by Izno above. I am not and do not represent multiple accounts, as evaluated by ArbCom. I have read and discussed the rules/policies of En.Wp with others from the community and have shared them with other members of the m:Karavali Wikimedians an affiliate of WMF for which I am the President. As part of my work, our small community and geographical location- we regularly introduce new users to our community, and it is possible it resulted in the inadvertent use of the same IP address. I have learned from this and acknowledge it. I assure you that I have not engaged in any disruptive behavior and I respectfully request to be unblocked, in line with the ArbCom recommendations and the information shared above. --Vishwanatha Badikana (talk) 13:10, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This unblock request addresses the technical aspect of the SPI, but does not address the behavioral issues that led to the investigation in the first place, and I assure you that I have not engaged in any disruptive behavior indicates that you do not understand the issues that led to the block in the first place. The block log was amended to reflect this, which says disruptive meatpuppetry, including article hijacking and what appears to be some promotional editing, and failing to grasp WP:Nnotability. This unblock request does not address any of these issues. Aoidh (talk) 11:31, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Hello, Permit me to make it clear that there is absolutely no basis for the misinformation being spread about me and the other accounts using the alias "Wikipedia: Sockpuppet" and it has not been looked into. I participate actively in the Karavali Wikimedian User Group and the Tulu community. Although, indeed, a number of us—bankers, teachers, and tech administrators—moved to Mangalore, it's only because our places of employment are close by. We often get together for monthly gatherings as a close-knit community to talk about the growth of Wikimedia, the Wiki Movement, and any recent developments. All of the aforementioned accounts are owned by actual people who work together, co-create, and support the community. Furthermore, we have edited all of the articles I have supplied with the utmost care and attention to detail, and they are all relevant to our area of expertise. We are proud to have contributed to numerous projects including Tulu, Kannada, English, Wikimedia Commons, Meta, Translate, Kannada, and more. We consider ourselves to be experts in our profession. Our main objective is to raise the standard of material on these platforms and make a significant contribution to the Wikimedia movement. An overview of my contributions to the community on Wikimedia An overview of my contributions to the Wikimedia community: 25,768 total. *Contributed more than 500 articles(total edits 8,095) to the Wikipedia pages for Kannada, more than 1000(total edits 5,419) articles to the Wikipedia pages for Tulu, and more than 2,897 modifications to translate wiki more than 3,860 photos, including SVG pictures, were added to Wikimedia Commons. All things considered, I am honored to have contributed to the Wikimedia movement, advancing a better understanding and respect of our community while also adding to humankind's collective knowledge. I'm eager about the opportunities that lie ahead and pledge to keep making contributions in the future. Since August 5, 2016, when Tulu Wikipedia first launched. Since January 24, 2014, I have made substantial contributions to Tulu Incubator, totaling 4,866 modifications. On August 5, 6, and 7, 2016, at Landran (Mohali), Chandigarh, India, I took part in WikiConference India 2016 WikiConference India 2016 was on 5,6,7 August 2016 in Landran (Mohali), Chandigarh, India.

To be clear, neither sock puppets nor numerous accounts are being used. I thus respectfully ask that we be allowed to contribute to the English Wikipedia and that we be unblocked." * User: Vishwanatha Badikana * User: ChiK * User: Preethika B That being said, I must make clear that the charge against me is untrue. We use our real names and don't use pseudonyms since we take our contributions to Wikipedia extremely seriously. You can examine my unique IP address, email address, and physical location to verify my identity since I am not using any other accounts. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and excellence in our contributions to Wikimedia as Tulu community members and Karavali Wikimedians. I have done everything in my power to prove my identity, which is distinct from other accounts, each of which is a unique person. Please let us know if anything more is required. If necessary, we may ask other community members to verify the identification. Sincerely, as I indicated before, I edit for Wikipedia. I apologize if I missed any mistakes. To prevent such errors from happening in the future, I will behave appropriately.--Vishwanatha Badikana (talk) 15:19, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Per below. (Perhaps this can set a record for the greatest variance in length between the request and response, not counting this parenthetical, of course). — Daniel Case (talk) 05:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

First, please quit pinging me on your new requests. I already declined one; I would not be the one to review any others. Someone else will. Secondly, use {{unblock}}, not {{unblock reviewed}}. If you use the latter, it will show up as an already-declined request, and will never be placed in the list of requests needing review at all. You'll need to fix that if you actually want your request to be seen and reviewed. Third, if ArbCom says you're not socks, then I'll take their word for it—that's not the issue, so continuing to bang on that is not going to work. But meatpuppetry is treated exactly the same as sockpuppetry, and regardless, promotional editing is not permitted. You'll need to address the fact that you were engaging in those things, not keep saying "But we're not socks!" when we already know that. You will still need to address, for example, how you plan to keep your editing separate from what your colleagues are doing, and how you plan to avoid introducing inappropriate material to Wikipedia again. If you just keep saying "I'm well-versed in Wikipedia's policies!", when you clearly are not and were violating many of them, I doubt that's going to convince anyone.
