ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.– robertsky (talk) 09:30, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@Robertsky and Liz:

> Have you previously done any serious editing on this project or another Wikimedia project under another username?

Yes. About 8 years ago.

> How do we even know that you are an editor in good standing here?

I see no need to attach a character certificate. Whatever I wrote was supported by citations to reliable sources. And neither did I say anything untruthful nor did I try to harangue others.

That said, I am happy that the community paid no heed to Robertsky's misplaced wielding of cop-mentality. Upd Edit (talk) 10:24, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

eh... a misplaced wielding of cop-mentality would simply to block first and ask later. Did I? And I don't recall asking the questions above at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1172#Upd_Edit_-_project_sock?. All I asked if this account should be blocked as project sock account. – robertsky (talk) 11:31, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Liz asked them to me per a notification which now seem to be lost. Upd Edit (talk) 11:36, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Upd Edit, you say that whatever you wrote was supported by citations to reliable sources. But your very first edit ever was on the open letter page. -- asilvering (talk) 17:13, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

My edits to the open letter page were supported by reliable sources. Upd Edit (talk) 22:06, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Warning: Edit Warring and Disruptive Editing on Shahi Jama Masjid

I wanted to address a few concerns regarding your edits to the Shahi Jama Masjid article: 1. Edit warring: Before I made any changes, multiple users had already reverted your edits. Continuously reverting others' contributions without consensus is considered edit warring, which is against Misplaced Pages’s guidelines. 2. Page move: You also moved the page to an incorrect title, which is a vandalism. Page titles should reflect the subject accurately and follow naming conventions. Unjustified moves disrupt the organization of Misplaced Pages and should be avoided. 3. Content relevance: You're attempting to add irrelevant informations to this article. While it's important to provide accurate and relevant information, articles should focus on the subject itself. If the content doesn't directly relate to the mosque, it may not belong here. Ensure that any additions are well-supported and relevant, per notability and verifiability standards. Since you're a new user, I recommend you to familiarize yourself with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines and start by editing less sensitive articles . It's important to understand how Misplaced Pages works and how to engage in collaborative editing before working on articles that involve sensitive topics. Please review the five pillars and other policies to better understand the community’s expectations. Thank you

What irrelevant content did I insert at the article — can you quote a couple of such lines rather than being unworkably vague? Additionally, if you are certain about the merits of your argument, why the reticence to discuss my edits at the article talk page?

I moved the page to a far rational title and the one who reverted simply felt that such a move should be discussed. I disagree but do not mind if it stays at the current title. But my move was not vandalism (have you clicked on the link and read what it is and what it is not?) You keep on invoking the "multiple users" who have reverted me but I see only a couple — one of whom has as many edits as me but across seven years and didn't discuss their issues at the article talk page; the other had a concern with MOS about a single edit but mistakenly rolled back all edits.

So, once again, do you understand that talk page discussion is not optional? Upd Edit (talk) 21:58, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
