Outhentic's page - moving from draft to article

Hello, I'd like to ask you to take a look at this page and tell me if everything's fine and it can be published on Misplaced Pages- https://en.wikipedia.org/Outhentic . Thank you very much! Best, Rayna --Rayna Vasileva (talk) 08:10, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Moving the article 'Kumar Swami' to draft

I see that you have moved the article Kumar Swami to draft.

I am not being paid for anything on Misplaced Pages. My discussion with Harshil got heated because he was trying to dictate the tone of the article without discussing any details. I wrote this article passionately since it's my first article on Misplaced Pages. But to be clear once again, I have no association with the subject of the article. I already told in my discussion that I am ready to improve the article if someone guides me to. I will still improve the article to meet Misplaced Pages's standards.

Regarding the reliability of sources, why do you think that sources are not reliable ? They are from well reputed newspapers and official government websites. I would appreciate if you will guide me which references are unreliable in your view.

What else this draft needs in order to be able to be included in article space ??

I have seen many articles on Misplaced Pages which are much shorter than mine, have much less references and have lesser quality of references than the ones I have used.

I guess the reason that you have moved the article to draft is because of my heated discussion with Harshil, for which I have already apologized.

I find it unfair that such a well researched article which was earlier accepted has now been moved to draft.

Please reconsider your decision of reverting the article to draft. The references are indeed reliable and independent. I request you to again have a thorough look. I will keep working on improving the quality of the content but I feel it should be in the article space.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Princehr999 (talk • contribs) 16:06, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

NPP Inactivity

Did you end up fixing ICPH's querry with the updated syntax? I fixed a query once before but it's not my strength and if you've already done it all the better. I would like to go through and actually do the removal of anyone who has been inactive on Misplaced Pages a year. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:11, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Barkeep49, In June Xaosflux removed a few, so he knows the regex to update the list Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: we regularly remove "special groups" that have 12 month complete inactivity, as of right now the only users that are in the "patroller" group exceeding 12 months of editing activity are secondary accounts of admins. Is that what you are looking in to? — xaosflux 14:39, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Xaosflux, it was. Good to know that this already happens without any help from me. Thanks! Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:43, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

@Missvain:-That's a poor decline; are you aware of WP:NACADEMIC? I would have moved that to main-space myself, if I did not have a COI.

@Missvain: I'm sorry, if that was the first message you saw today:-( On an aside, as someone who has been here for over 4 years with about 40,000 edits, me thinks that rejecting policy-compliant articles from newbies also affect editor-retention, negatively. ∯WBG 15:59, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

" legal case against Wikimedia"

I don't doubt it. After my own harrowing, I'm much more sensitive to this than before. Of course, as I learned watching Law and Order, the best way to avoid an accusation of impropriety is to avoid the appearance there of. So I will almost always advocate for the removal of unsavory content when it is challenged.-- Deepfriedokra 13:52, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

September 2019

I'm sorry to see that you decided to edit-war on Nadja Malacrida. I believe you are mistaken in your actions and conclusions, and I am formally warning you that further edit-warring may lead to a block. I sincerely hope that it will not come to that. Removing sourced content is rarely a constructive edit, and your efforts would be better directed to proposing alternate wording on the talk page in an effort to find common ground over how best to summarise what Tinniswood wrote. --RexxS (talk) 14:17, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

RexxS, I don't give a flying fuck about your warning and this passive-aggresive BS.

Also, the last revert was by Giano, pending which I made a thread at 3RRN and added more stuff to the t/p section, which sufficiently indicates that I am not going to edit-war. ∯WBG 14:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Godric, if the best response to a perfectly reasonable piece of advice is "I don't give a flying fuck" then you're running the risk of getting blocked. In particular, I haven't really seen you voice any opinion on the content, but just make vague hand-waving comments about policies. For example, consider your edit here. You removed a bunch of information about Malacrida's husband as "irrelevant" (okay, but in whose opinion?) and citing WP:REFBOMB which makes no sense given the account of Piero's interior design writing is cited to a single book source. In particular, removing the source and replacing it with a {{fact}} tag should be avoided unless you can demonstrate you have checked the source and found the claims are not present, in which case it's better to tag at {{failed verification}}, and even then only if you can back up and justify your tags. It's not really surprising your edits were reverted, as they don't seem to show any empathy for the subject matter. Ritchie333 15:19, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Ritchie333,

T/p(s) exist for a purpose and our policies explicitly ask users to not discuss stuff via edit-sums; I have indeed launched a specific section for my reverts, post the first revert by Giano. Where RexxS has responded and I will respond, soon.

I need not show any empathy for a long-deceased subject; nothing whatsoever. Also, this is a bit rich, coming after all that has happened with you. ∯WBG 15:25, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

User Talk Reverts

Hey there. I've noticed on a couple user talks that I watch that you'll sometimes make a comment and then decided shortly after to self-revert - in looking at your edits to user talks I see 4 such examples in the last week. Because of the nature of talk page notifications I'm guessing that in most situations that the person is still seeing your edit. So rather than walking back comments you think better of - what I am sure is your intent - it now causes all the impact of the post without allowing the person it's directed at to have a chance to respond. I'd like to suggest that you think just a tad harder before publishing comments to user talks. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:44, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Seriously , ? I understand your concerns about self cite/walled garden issues. I also appreciate your efforts to weed them out. However, for this particular article, the deletion discussion did not come up with a consensus to remove the content.

IP continuing your edit war

This IP 157.43.235.10 is continuing your slow edit war. Please refrain if it is you. It is highly unlikely for a new user to dig up someone else's edit and type in those words. The IP is from where you live. --Jaydayal (talk) 10:21, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

That's not me and you might be surprised to know that there's a feature that allows an user to restore an earlier article version.

FWIW, I am highly curious, as to how you know where I live most of the time. And about how you managed to geo-locate the IP with such extreme precision, amidst a highly contrarian data-set spanning over the breadth of a country, at a time when I was actually at United Kingdom.

The edit-summaries were not very mature either, FWIW and WP:SPI is that-way.∯WBG 13:11, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Because you mention it yourself on your talk page when edit pops up. I am reverting you, please stop edit-war and respond on talk page. You have been engaging in slow edit war for ages. The IP did not 'revert' but edited! --Jaydayal (talk) 13:38, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

WP:NPA

I will kindly ask you to WP:REFACTOR your edits about me at disgraced and in light of WP:NPA and WP:CIV. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:40, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

I reviewed your EEML history and still, I was subtle enough to use disgraced, which FWIW is enough factual in light of your desysop + ban, for cause. If you deem that as a NPA, AN lies thatway. ∯WBG 05:41, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

There was nothing subtle about that, and I agree it was a blatant personal attack. WBG, I have known you for a while as a positive editor; please take a step back and consider laying off of other editors. Drmies (talk) 14:07, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

An ex-admin de-sysoped and temporally banned for running off-wiki collusion networks is textbook definition of disgraced (OED defines it as Having fallen from favour or a position of power or honour). And to me, someone (irrespective of whether he is an editor of our site or not) being intrinsically involved in trying to remove a piece critical of him, from being used a source over an article, is textbook violation of our COI policy. On some reflections, I have struck off my statement that he should have been shown the door aka banned long ago, which do remain my feelings but is fairly irrelevant. ∯WBG 14:15, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

That is exactly the remark that bothered me. That you think someone has disgraced themselves, that's one thing, but that other remark is quite another--it doesn't only mean a lack of good faith, but also suggests that somehow the community got it wrong the whole time. That's not impossible, but it's really hurtful. I am not all that aware of the EEML debacle, but I do believe that those involved paid the price, and that includes Piotrus--who, I understand, is now being smeared off-wiki by a banned editor. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 14:19, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Then we can consider it as resolved:-) I do agree that shown the door was unnecessarily harsh.

FWIW, I am a bit bothered about the reasoning :- but also suggests that somehow the community got it wrong the whole time. That's not impossible, but it's really hurtful.. The community shall not be compelled or expected to engage in some sort of group-think-like-reverence towards any event that have happened in this project; dissent (irrespective of however misplaced they might seem to individual eyes) have a place. I have definitely read you stating over somewhere (circa 2012/13; some AN/ANI thread, probably) that you did not (personally) agree with certain old blocks of Eric and thought they were poor to the extent of not mattering any, for determining a future sanction. Do you see that there is a scope of asking the same question to you, in a slightly re-framed manner? FWIW, I do not seek to comment on the merit of Eric's past blocks, in any manner. An example for the sake of it and where I agreed with your assessment. ∯WBG 14:38, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

It's less complicated than that, I think: if their past sins were so bad, they would have been punished more in that case that was so large in scope, but that's really as much as I want to say about it. I'm not saying that the community always gets it right, but I am saying that all this was a long time ago. Drmies (talk) 16:46, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I know, we're not the best of buddies, and I don't want any words to sound patronising. But I had to share this with you. I've followed the tone of your discussions with fellow editors in the past few weeks and I've noticed that you are being very supportive, helpful and are taking criticism with all good faith.

Only one very quick question! Unfamiliar with Indian clothing customs (bracelets)

I am unfamiliar with Indian clothing customs. In the "Social disruption" section of Bengal famine of 1943 there is a photo that Fowler&fowler (who is on wikibreak, and I do not wish to disturb him) has labeled "Destitute mother and child Bengal famine 1943". Following this description, I made the alt text: "Alt text: Old photograph of a woman squatting and tiny, emaciated toddler standing on a sidewalk. The woman is shirtless but squatting to conceal her breasts. The toddler is wearing rags." But ... you know... those arms look kinda muscular, and so does the back.. the face is a bit unclear and a bit androgynous, so might be a young man, maybe late teens (?) .. do the bracelets definitely mark the wearer as female? ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 02:55, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

WBG, I am sorry for interrupting. Lingzhi2, I believe this is a married woman. According to tradition, married Bengali women (at least those who are Hindus) wear a pair of white and red bangles known as "shakha pola". Perhaps the red ones are not visible. I am not aware of Bengali men wearing bangles. There is a video clip by BBC of the 1943 famine, where you can notice other women wearing similar bangles. The clip has some disturbing images though.--DreamLinker (talk) 09:35, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Ian Stevenson article: RS?

Hi.

I noticed your recent deletion, with the note "How is this a RS?"

Well. . .

• The person quoted, Jesse Bering, is an Associate Professor at a mainstream university (https://www.otago.ac.nz/science-communication/staff/bering/index.html).

• Most of the deleted text consists of him quoting a respected mainstream scientist (https://news.virginia.edu/content/pioneering-professor-doris-kuhlmann-wilsdorf-dies-service-thursday).

• His article appeared on the website of Scientific American -- that is, the website of an ultra-respected scientific publication. From a search of the site, it seems that Bering has been writing a regular column there since at least 2011. That is to say, he's an invited contributor.

So: How is this not an RS?

I recognize that the views expressed are controversial (one might say "flaky"). But "The content is flaky, therefore the source is unreliable" would be circular logic.

So?

Cordially,

Edit request

Since you are actively editing the Misplaced Pages page now, I find calling Republic TV a 'mouthpiece' of the ruling government is equally wrong too. That too in the first paragraph. The exactly same issue was earlier discussed in the talk page. Many hold similar opinions on NDTV type media too.... But NDTV's page has nothing of the sort... It would be strictly wrong to refer to any news channel as a mouthpiece. Please remove that too. Content like this can find place in criticism section only.

Further edits request

Also please update the Audience share to the week 42 most recent figures.

The first line in criticism section looks more like a POV(*pushing of view). I'm sure the same information about the 'right wing bias' opinion of certain other sections of the medis could be written in an NPOV way.(*less aggressive way). This one's upto you. You may do it once you're done with the page overhaul.

(talk page watcher), HarshithaHappyGoLucky, If you are going to use acronyms here, then please familiarize yourself with them (and their meaning on Wiki) before using them. POV on wiki refers to the Point of View and not "pushing of view", you should use the full version if you intend to say pushing of view.--DBigXrayᗙ 16:08, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for that. :) I only meant the view was put in a rather aggressive way. Also thank you for the edits. HarshithaHappyGoLucky (talk) 16:18, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

A note of caution.

I saw that you removed material from an article with an edit summary describing it as fluff solely introduced for the sake of ref-spamming. I would strongly advise that you avoid directing language of this sort towards editors generally well-respected in the community for the quality of their work. In fact, I would generally advise that where sources which you find disagreeable are introduced to an article during the course of a deletion discussion, that you address the deficiencies of those sources in the deletion discussion rather than removing them from the article while the discussion is ongoing. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:02, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Noted though I do believe that quality of edits shall be (mostly) evaluated on the basis of standalone merits. FWIW, I had already opened a t/p section with explicit analysis. ∯WBG 07:59, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

Even so, when you open a deletion discussion on a subject, you are asking the community to express their opinion on whether sources exist which establish the notability of the subject. It is common for editors who wish to save the article to add sources—even poor sources—which the community can then evaluate. It is incongruous to ask the community to evaluate sources while at the same time unilaterally removing sources added to an article during the discussion. You might be concerned that the community will be fooled by the addition of what you consider to be "fluff" or "ref-spamming", but these concerns can be adequately addressed in the deletion discussion without further engaging in editing of the nominated article itself. bd2412 T 16:29, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

They have their own internal workflow, pending the completion of which, you will be directly contacted by them and provided with login credentials. Using that, over the site, will grant you full access to their archives till-date. FWIW, any university-library having humanities courses ought be enrolled over JSTOR and IIRC, JSTOR has EPW archives until 2014.

Keep an eye out for requests over WP:RX and if a book/dissertation is available in a library, (that you can access), help out folks at your pleasure. Basically, notify them that you can help out and they will drop you a wiki-mail feature, thus disclosing their email to you ; you can then attach the scanned copies (jpeg/pdf) of resources, in reply. Best, ∯WBG 14:15, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

• That's a fairly good middle ground to take, but Rajaram is one of the extremely fringe characters of the Hindu Nationalism diaspora.

Jai Shri Ram

I will restore the content you removed from this article, which you said you "will rewrite". Please see the article's edit history - the content has been controversial since it was added in June, but the current wording is the result of the collaboration of multiple editors. The content is well-sourced (indeed, it is the only sourced part of the article) but has been repeatedly removed by anonymous and newly registered editors as "incorrect", "unnecessary", "fake news", "wrong news to defame" etc. - to the point where the article has been protected twice to prevent that and at least one user (Ezio bhumihar) was blocked. As you can see, you are walking into a bit of a minefield! You are an experienced editor; I am not reverting your change because I oppose any change at all, but because any rewrite would clearly need discussion on the talk page first.

Vedic Mathematics

Hello:

Although I do accept occasional requests to copy edit articles from editors with whom I have had extensive dealings in the past, I prefer that GA copy edit requests such as yours be listed on the Guild of Copy Editors Requests page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests ). That way they are dealt with in order, in a timely manner.

That being said, I did run through the article as you requested and made what I think are appropriate changes.

The following paragraph has me completely baffled, however. This may be because of my lack of mathematical knowledge or because of the run-on sentences.

For example, multiple techniques in the book involve the use of high-precision decimal fractions. These were unknown during the Vedic times and were introduced in India only in the sixteenth century. The works of numerous ancient mathematicians such as Aryabhata, Brahmagupta and Bhaskara were entirely based on fractions. Some of the sutras even claimed to run parallel to the General Leibniz rule and Taylor's theorem (which, per Krishna Tirtha, were to be yet studied by the western world during the time of his writing) but did ultimately boil down to the sub-elementary performative operations of basic differentiation on polynomials notwithstanding the fact that historic India had no minimal knowledge about the conceptual notions of differentiation and integration. Sutras have been further leveraged to claim that analytic geometry of conics occupied an important tier in Vedic mathematics and some others have been applied or asserted as being applicable to topics as diverse as statics and pneumatics to astronomy and financial domains.

This sentence: "For example, multiple techniques in the book involve the use of high-precision decimal fractions. These were unknown during the Vedic times and were introduced in India only in the sixteenth century." Then there appears to be a contradiction with the sentence that follows: "The works of numerous ancient mathematicians such as Aryabhata, Brahmagupta and Bhaskara were entirely based on fractions."

I think that the rest of that paragraph needs to be rewritten in plain English so that it can be understood by the average reader.

The rest of the article is in good shape, I believe.

Best of luck with the GAN.

Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:00, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, a lot! Your point about rewriting the paragraph for average readers, is well taken. FWIW, decimal fractions refer to Decimal#Decimal_fractions but fractions refer to the typical a/b notation; need to clear that up. ∯WBG 12:05, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Your note

As I said when I returned, I want to have a more amicable experience this round, and the way I responded to your message does not exactly confer that message properly, nor does it help me attain that goal (it was a defensive gesture because as you obviously know, we do not have the best relationship). So, even though we might disagree strongly, I will ask you directly what relists you were precisely referring to. I have looked them over myself to see if I missed something, and asked fellow admins to as well. As of yet, no one seems to think much of them other than one could have potentially faced a no consensus close (yet the relist was still was within reasonable discretion). So please, at least let me know where you stand properly, so I can take it into account for reflection if nothing else. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 19:50, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Vanamonde (Talk) 19:12, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

On noting your abusive manner

WBG: When I read your comment here, I was baffled and repelled by it's aggressive and threatening tone. That the edit in question was ill-considered I will grant. I had spent considerable time on producing a concise, focused, well-written lead for that article - only to find dumped into it a mass of ungrammatical and repetitive material that, in any case, I thought belonged elsewhere in the article. This last point was based on the misconception expressed in the comment here and acknowledged as incorrect here.

But please do not be distracted by the fact that I was mistaken in that respect. The more important fact is that my efforts were directed toward improving the writing and the structure of the article and in no way warranted your aggressive and insulting lack of good faith. Please in future do not address me (or hopefully any other editor) in such manner, do not make unfounded accusations, and do not impugn my motives in editing Misplaced Pages.

Thank you for your attention. Dayirmiter (talk) 13:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Your motivations don't matter; the end-results do.

The extent of AGF is quite low in a domain under the AC/DS regime (as you have been since alerted to) courtesy the constant barrage of POV pushing, that we are near-incessantly used to. Controversial topics are NOT your sandbox to mess about and then, learn our rules; please choose some low-scale article where things are more peaceful.

Happy Holidays, ∯WBG 16:01, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Please read the biographies of living persons policy. Misplaced Pages articles are not to be used as a means of shaming or attacking people, or for activism. If you can provide multiple reliable sources from major publications, it can be discussed at the article's talkpage for possible inclusion, but simply linking to Twitter or YouTube isn't sufficient. ∯WBG 18:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Character assassination is not allowed within any pages of well-published authors and academic. You can easily discuss different point of views as long as it ties in with the overall biography. The page of Nitasha Kaul has been subject to repeat vandalism and a good decision has been taken by the Wiki team to protect the page. And we will protect it even in future. Misplaced Pages editors are impartial and we don't entertain unnecessary disturbances. I must add that I have already seen this user called "Boneyjv" on the Twitter profile of this author. He has been trying to purposely vandalize this author's page out of sheer malice, and to push a certain political agenda, just because she has been a fierce opponent of India's present government. It is very disturbing to have anyone push a political agenda using YouTube, Twitter, and other non-credible sources. --Tech editor007 (talk) 08:17, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

GD Vashist

Hi, can we talk about your draftification of the article on GD Vashist to Draft:GD Vashist (2)? Your edit summary was "Fails WP:N".

Draftifying instead of nominating for deletion implies the draftifier's sense that an article doesn't qualify for inclusion now but may become qualified through improvement. However, it's established that notability is determined based on factors external to an article, and a lack of it can't be fixed through improvements to an article. So draftifying an article based on one's reckoning that the subject isn't notable is a contradiction.

In addition, if notability is a concern, there are already two valid treatments: AFD or, if one isn't sure one has a strong enough case that notability isn't met and wants to give others a chance to identify sources to support it, tagging. Draftifying, which will probably lead to G13 speedy deletion six months later, looks like an evasion of the normal protocol calling for articles to be discussed before deleting them for lack of notability.

If you feel strongly enough that GD Vashist isn't notable, why did you not simply nominate the article for deletion? Largoplazo (talk) 16:06, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

You have made eight edits to my t/p, to make this post and I have got 3 edit-conflicts, while saving my response. Will reply tomorrow, expecting you would have finished by then. ∯WBG 17:10, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

A page you proposed for deletion, Muhammed Majeed, was contested via WP:REFUND by the paid editor involved in the page. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:53, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi! This is just to let you know that I have begun copyediting your article that you requested here. Thank you! Puddleglum 18:19, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello! There were two words in the lede of your article, and I'm not sure what they mean. Maybe can you consider replacing those words with synonyms that will be more easily understandable? Thanks, Puddleglum 16:23, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Which words? ∯WBG 16:35, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I'm going to guess it was ascetics and aegis. Ascetics is easy to link to; aegis is a bit trickier - protection might be a better choice? GirthSummit _(blether) 16:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@Girth Summit: 100% spot on! The link to ascetists is good, still need a solution for aegis. Thanks! Puddleglum 06:17, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

• What is "Section 144?"

• Do you have any pictures or perhaps an infobox that you could put in? Is kind of bare bones.

Nice quote farm

Nagendranath Basu

I am curious. You wrote: "His historical methods have been challenged and his interpretations are now deemed to be quite unreliable, courtesy his religious acceptance of the-then prevalent caste hierarchy as a longstanding form of social order along with a strong antipathy towards the Muslim rule in India". I wonder what you mean.Malaiya (talk) 22:59, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Nagendranath believed the Islamic rulers of Medieval India to be behind most (if not all) evils of India and oft-lamented the fall of Hindu empires, which he alleged to be the golden days of the sub-continent. Additionally, he believed the prevalent caste hierarchy to be a rigid structure, that has not only remained the same for hundreds of years but also were a form of social organisation. All have since been noted to be quite untrue and misplaced, thus affecting the merits of his overall work. ∯WBG 06:14, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Dear Winged Blades of Godric:

1. The concluding text you added looks like a personal judgement.

2. Nagendranath Basu was a distinguished editor, a scholar who brought numerous sources of information to light.

3. I personally believe that the 4-fold varna system was not applicable even in the times dharma-shastras were written and hence the varna-sankara classes were invented. It ceased to be applicable a long time ago. Other than Brahmins, it is impossible to classify communities into a varna using a scheme that cannot be challanged. However overwhelming majorty of scholars and authors today believe that the chaturvarnya still exists. Then why blame just Nagendranath Basu?

4. There have been numerous scholars of history who in addition to linking facts have expressed their own opinions. I find Basham's "The wonder that was India" obviously Eurocentric in a few places. That does not give me a right to conclude that his contributions have no value. I don't think your concluding text, which looks like a personal concluding judgement, is apropriate.

Why did you insert the template in my talk page? Please state specifically the problem you have with my editing. Malaiya (talk) 03:27, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Yeah; editorial judgement is definitely required while writing an article. Can you write an article w/o one?!

True that, and covered at the article.

Your personal beliefs are largely immaterial.

Your personal impressions are largely immaterial. And, reception of his scholarship will be obviously covered.

You are alerted of the AC/DS regime and the notice begins with It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.∯WBG 06:29, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Swami Chakrapani

Winged Blades of Godric, this nomination has been waiting about a month for you to provide new hooks, the original nominator having bowed out in your favor. As you can see from my post at the nomination, there are significant issues with the hotel and its eatery—despite the initial publicity, it appears that Chakrapani wasn't at the auction where the hotel and other Dawood Ibrahim properties were sold and someone else acquired the building—so it isn't suitable for a hook and may not even belong in the article (unless perhaps as a publicity stunt). Right now, the article is without hooks, and needs to be revised.

I'm hoping you'll be able to provide what's needed in the next few days. Given the recent discoveries, and the fact that this has been the oldest DYK nomination for a while now—the article will be three months old in a week—if we don't have significant progress within seven days I think it will be time to think about closing the nomination as unsuccessful. Thanks for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:08, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

About edits and reverts on page 'Jaggi Vasudev'

WBG, you know the case very well. See, If you will not let people edit the article, there can be no constructive editing. It seems like few people behave, as if they are the only custodian of the article by reverting every edit that doesn't matches with their line of thought. Not everytime one would edit and revert the same actions. It appears to be absurd after a point. With a broad perspective, try to understand this. The subject has been accused of Irrationality, psuedo-scientific views, his organisation of breaking rules, all that is very true. But this also need to be mentioned he has been invited to share his views at various platforms as UN, MIT, World Economic Forum, Tedx and various summits etc. And his organisation has helped to increase the green cover of Tamil Nadu Region, health-wise benefitted people and gathered worldwide attention. His books are also well received. His controversial statements and criticisms should be mentioned along with the appraisals that he received. You also know that many of the sources mentioned in the article are clearly of a different political ideology and the subject is associated (not by him, but others) with some other ideology. It doesn't mean that they should not be mentioned but they must also not effect the writing of the article. After reading the article, one must not get the chance to say that it sounds being a little more than neutral. Every side needs to be shown and conclusions should be left to reader's conscience. The faith on Misplaced Pages articles and it's sanctity must remain intact. This was a humble message to you, I hope you'll assess the situation wisely. This one being last of my efforts, Thanks. Abhayoct13th (talk) 13:53, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Speaking at TED is somewhat notable; not at TEDX. Ditto for WEF. What MITEvent it was? Provide the source.

I don't understand the relevance of this to The Signpost, and I will remove any attempted outing from The Signpost's pages. Please be clear that:

• I am not obliged to participate in your apparent attempted outing schemes
• You should completely stay off my user and user talk pages, and
• If you wish to take this to arbcom, I will forward your emails and any other relevant emails to them for a non-public decision. I believe that would take them about 10 minutes to decide (arbcom can be slow sometimes) and say, e.g. "what kind of rule-breaking is WBG talking about?"

WP:WPSCH

I shepherded WP:WPSCH for nearly ten years but I've now retired from being its lead coord. Apart from the collaboration of the other coords (whom I have mostly brought into the project since Chris Cameron retired), the project is pretty much as effective as herding cats. The traditional schools and values I upheld for Misplaced Pages school articles have been diluted in recent years by waves of new stubs about schools of dubious notability in the Himalayas or commercial cram schools in the streets of South Asian cities. Neither of which are within my sphere of interest or expertise. With en.Wiki fast becoming the South Asian Misplaced Pages in English (or so it seems when one takes a glance at the New Pages Feed these days), the schools project seriously needs help from people with regional knowledge. With everything else you have on your plate, I'm not suggesting you make WP:WPSCH one of your priorities, but if you or anyone you know has the required background and would like to help out, do let the other coords know.

I do hope you can take time before then, since you have been active lately, with over 150 edits since my original post here. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:47, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Please find a new reviewer; my sincere apologies for the extraordinary delay and my inability to complete the review. ∯WBG 04:30, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Need Help

Hello sir, I had added some historical facts to Kachari Kingdom page which were ignored by some scholars. But one editor Chaipau, don't allow me to insert my point. According to him, Everything written in Ahom chronicle is perfect. He forcefully made Ahom chroncicles accepted everywhere. Scholarship in Assam is very poor, Scholars don't know difference between Heramba and Hidimba. Heramba means Ganesh and Hidimba means Rakshashi wife of Bhim. Ahom used Timisa word for Kacharis. Timisa is Ahom term. It is abusive term according to dictionary of Ahom. Similary Ahom used Tunisa for Moran , Tiura for SadiaL Kacharis and Kha-lang for Borahis. Editor Chaipau forcefully remove facts which don't fit Ahom claims. Actually, Boro history is related to Heramba kingdom . Dimasa history is related Hidimba kingdom. Boros of Heramba called themselves Ramsa. Tiprasa = Tripura , Dimasa = Hidimba , Ramsa = Heraamba. All this terms are avalable in Kachari kingdom. But Chaipau don't allow me to add Ramsa and Bodosa term. Chaipau had made Assam historical pages based on his personal goal. Sir, Actually there was two migration , One is from Guwahati to Cachar and Another is from Upper assam to Cachar. Some scholars mixed uped both tradition into one. Some scholars treated them correctly but Chaipau don't allow me to correct one. Ramsa tradition

  https://books.google.co.in/books?id=0TQzAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA829 

and

  Kakoty, Suchitra (1981). "The Historical Background of the Bodo-Kacharis". A study of the educational development of the bodo tribe during the post independence period with particular reference to the northern region of Assam (PhD). Guwahati University.   
 Dimasa tradition https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.463827/page/n23/mode/2up

This one example of Chaipau's contribution which is unreliable wihtout any citation. https://en.wikipedia.org/File:Major_kingdoms_of_Assam.png Sir, Please help me to add my points. I have added both Ramsa , Dimasa , Bodosa terms with citation but Chaipau don't allow me to add terms related to Bodo. His edits are kind of jealousy and personal hatred towards Bodo community. There is clear evidence that All people don't call themselves Dimasa. Ahom chronicle are unrealiable because they don't have real name. Thank you sir , Please help me.

Template:Did you know nominations/1966 anti-cow slaughter agitation

Winged Blades of Godric, it is now three months since you began expanding this article and three days fewer since it was nominated; time is running out. You have been unresponsive to pings in the nomination and on your talk page while you've been actively editing elsewhere on Misplaced Pages. The two "clarification needed" templates have not been addressed although I first mentioned them back on January 14, and I imagine it is the lack of response since that has discouraged potential reviewers, despite the fact that I've been calling for reviewers on the WT:DYK page for many weeks now.

If you're not going to address this issue, please let me know, and I'll close the nomination. Otherwise, it needs your attention when you next return to editing. Although it is still waiting for a review, I cannot, in good faith, more actively recruit a reviewer given your lack of response over the past months. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:34, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that a review was finally done on March 24. I hope you give the courtesy of a reply there soon; if you haven't done so by the end of March, the nomination is likely to be marked for closure. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:50, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello WBG. As noted by BlueMoonset above, a review has already been done, and significant article issues remain. Despite this, there has been no response from you since January. Please indicate if you still wish to pursue the nomination and if you can address the concerns. As the nomination is now the oldest remaining one on WP:DYKN and there has been no significant progress since January, the nomination will likely be marked for closure within the next few days if there is still no response. Thank you and happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 00:07, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Reliable Sources

Hello. I come in peace!

I am relatively new to wikipedia when it comes to active editing. However, i value a NPOV and came across your comments here. A question -- the first link you shared was about national herald and not the wire? the second piece you shared, seemed like good journalism. Often in a battle to be objective we forget that we don't live in an objective world? I mean, is there any thing such as pure objectivity? if not, shouldn't we all embrace our very many biases and subjectivities, and us being aware of our bias would make us somewhat objective?

A lot of right wing websites, and a few left wing websites do have a 'point of view', and i find these discussions on wikipedia really interesting because they can potentially help us out of the hate-speech and bjp versus congress that we (india) been full of since our inception. And on the other hand, i am afraid of us on wikipedia censoring website etc on the basis of which political wing they come from, instead of 'fact checking'. In the long run, as left and right twist each others arms, some more than the others, I feel that that would be fruitful. I concede that this is a mountain of a task, a slow, unending, must-always-be-at-it process.. Any thoughts? Tanyasingh (talk) 05:47, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of OpIndia

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.

A tag has been placed on OpIndia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/OpIndia.com. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

RE: Recreation of Nishita Goswami

Hi Winged Blades of Godric,

Greetings! Hope you are doing well!

In the past, spammy & under-sourced Nishita Goswami was redirected by you to her mother's page Moloya Goswami. Nishita Goswami is one of the leading actress from Assam. She surely meets all BLP norms. I want to recreate the page in an encyclopedic way with proper references. This is for your information.

Best regards,

Kalaripayattu

Religious fanatics are taking ownership at Kalaripayattu and not allowing any edits deviating from their agenda. The worst part is it is pending-changes protected and they all are confirmed accounts who can make changes without scrutiny. None of them give proper explanation for reverting, and sometimes blatantly reverts multiple edits (edited with proper edit summary) without explanation. Two of them have COI as evident from their usernames (Kalari). Their main business is promoting their POV and highlighting Hinduism part, though Kalaripayattu do have rituals based on Hinduism, the art itself is not a "Hindu art", it just happened to have originated when only Hindu "religion" was prevalent in Kerala. It is a martial art practised by all religious communities, many of the masters are Muslims, the Christians even have a folk dance derived from Kalaripayattu. Some Hindu extremists are "making statements" by projecting Hinduism on an otherwise communally harmonious martial art. BTW, I am also a Hindu, but this is too much.

The first time my edit got reverted (see history here onward), I never thought it was religious agenda, but now it's becoming clearer, as User:Kalariwarrior changed "Indian mythology" to "Hindu mythology" (source says former), and User:Kalari Poothara's recent Hinduism promotion in lead, and as Outlander07 is now trying to re-insert Hinduism claims (not in the source) in lead which I had removed; he had also removed a sourced mention about a Hindu lower-caste community – Thiyya. There are multiple legends on the creator - Parashurama, Shiva, Agasthya; they want Parashurama, not only that, they don't want to attribute it as "legend" (I agree with ). I suspect Outlander07 and Kalariwarrior to be the same person, all three are incompetent in editing. The article requires serious cleanup for sourcing and NPOV. Should I report this activity to WP:ANI, or somewhere else, or what? Please help. 157.46.136.127 (talk) 19:59, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

June 2018 RfC on Wikidata links

With regard to 24 June 2018 edits of New RFC on linking to Wikidata (WP:Manual of Style), you wrote:

As to the other proposed exception of linking to WD, by inline inter-language link, given that there is roughly a numerical tie and there's no clear-cut refutable argument(s) from either side, I am unable to see any consensus.

. But I think I am properly perplexed when this becomes:

Wikidata should not be linked to within the body of the article except in the manner of hidden comment(s) as to mentioning the Q-number.

It seems to me that you get to this depending on how the proposition is structured. For instance, if this had been interpreted as the following independent propositions:

• prohibit Wikidata links in hidden comments
• prohibit Wikidata links in interlanguage links
• prohibit Wikidata links in ordinary text

then we'd have no consensus on the use of Wikidata links in interlanguage links, and given that the current state had been to allow them, they would continue to be allowed.

As an aside of sorts, one of the main objections to Wikidata links had been that the Wikidata "reliable source" requirement might not be up to the standards of the enwiki reliable source requirements. But insofar as QIDs are concerned, is it not the case that Wikidata is in fact authoritative? This point could have been expected to overcome most of the objections to their use in interlanguage links. Fabrickator (talk) 03:47, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

No: there is consensus that Wikidata links are not allowed in text, and there is no consensus to make an exception for interlanguage links. Which means that the first rule also applies to the second case. Fram (talk) 07:56, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
