Wikipedia:IP block exemption?

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Is Wikipedia:IP block exemption answering this? SwisterTwister talk 03:56, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, this isn't about range blocks of IP addresses. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:05, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you create separate accounts for each of them? --Nathan2055^talk - contribs 05:20, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Nathan2055, but that is where the problem is, multiple accounts from one IP would raise the red flag and would cause the IP to be blocked, someone has to be contacted and exemption taken but I don't know who. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 05:54, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Account creator is probably where you want to go. If you get the flag, I think you'll be good to go. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:57, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ricky81682 Participants will be creating accounts well in advance - days before the programme. What they will be doing is that they will be simultaneously logging in to Wikipedia from one IP address - ten accounts/ eleven accounts from one address. Will that be OK? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 07:38, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then the IP block exemption request is the way to go. You want the IP address to be exempt from IP blocking and your explanation (since someone with WP:CHECKUSER privileges will be reviewing it) will explain the account situation. I'm certain this has come up at every wikiedit-a-thon so I think they know what to expect. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:57, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ricky81682 What is the email id or link to contact ? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 08:04, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

On 26 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the articles Brahmachari (1938 film) and Meenakshi Shirodkar.

The fact was ... that Meenakshi Shirodkar stunned the traditional audience when she appeared in a swimsuit in the 1938 Marathi film Brahmachari?

Stich

Hi Yogesh - it is unsourced, but I think it's also unnecessary unless it's an actual quote. The article already says basically the same thing here: "[Stich] lost his business, money, home, and ultimately his liberty". Pburka (talk) 23:41, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I wrote on your page, making unsourced edits is against my grain, so this one surprises me. You are right, we have the statement you have quoted above, so it is quite unnecessary to have one very similar a few lines down the article. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 05:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kokani Muslims

Hello,

I was looking up the Kokani Muslims page and see that you have heavily edited the page. Can you please inform me as to why? As I thought it was quite informative in its previous incarnation. I am not sure that the information that you have put, name that Kokni's are mainly Maliki, from my knowledge I have known Kokni's to be predominantly Shafi.

Kind regards

March 2013

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Teesta Setalvad‎. Thank you. We cannot call her Communist unless we can quote her saying she is. I also removed her being implicated as that is also a BLP violation unless there are convictions. Dougweller (talk) 17:46, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I merely summarised: "Teesta and her husband Javed Anand are both committed communists who describe themselves as "very proud of being part of the Left tradition." Also I don't understand the necessity of the formal "March 2013" sub-section title. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:53, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How is that even a violation, they say that they are proud of being part of left tradition, this is an opinion piece written by Teesta and her husband and in the end they write we are both very proud of being part of the Left tradition--sarvajna (talk) 05:39, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And we could use that as a quote perhaps. But WP:BLP is pretty clear, contentious material needs very good sources. See WP:BLPREMOVE. Does she say she is a Communist? A huge number of people identify as part of the left tradition but are not communists. Apologies that this was done formally, I was tired and took a shortcut. Dougweller (talk) 09:55, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dougweller you missed answering the key question: I merely summed material in one the sections and put it in the lead, why is material in one of the sections kosher for you and bad as soon as it is placed in the lead? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One more question from my end as well which you did not answer on the article's talk page, you used a blog as a RS to defend removal. Why was that? --sarvajna (talk) 15:26, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sarvajna he needs to answer that on the article talk page. I have stopped warring on article pages, so I won't revert Dougweller. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits

Hey, YK I saw your comments about Gyan Publishing on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 138#Faces_of_Goa.

Is it true that "we should not use tertiary sources for controversial statements"? His aplomb stuns me. Is this: The Indian Encyclopaedia:Biographical, Historical, Religious, Administrative, Ethnological, Commercial and Scientific. Kamli-Kyouk Phyu. vol. 13. Genesis Publishing. 2002. p. 3910. ISBN 8177552708. not a reliable source because it's a tertiary source? What kind of reasoning is this? Mr T^(Talk?) ^(New thread?) 07:15, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even see this? Mr T^(Talk?) ^(New thread?) 13:55, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(I'm sorry for taking time, you see, these days I'm a little busy and don't check Wikipedia as often as I would wish to, secondly I don't have a smart phone etc., that I can use to edit on the go) I have a topic ban regarding Indian history, so I cannot participate in a discussion related to subject discussed on the said page. Regarding Gyan, to my understanding there isn't a blanket ban, there never is, you could take the issue to reliable sources notice board. You need to establish the reliability of the writer etc. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 03:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know anything helpful about the following claim's validity, which is "we should not use tertiary sources for controversial statements"? Mr T^(Talk?) ^(New thread?) 06:10, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(followed link on Mr T's talk page) Tertiary sources can be used to evaluate due weight and summarize topics which involve many primary and secondary sources, but "should not be used in place of secondary sources for detailed discussion" per WP:WPNOTRS. As for Gyan Publishing House, it is a listed Wikipedia Mirror[1] and a known problematic publisher (the relevant discussion at RSN is available here). User:Sitush/Common#Gyan and User:Utcursch/plagiarism from Wikipedia also have more details on this. Correct Knowledge^«৳alk» 12:26, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some Gyan books have been bad, that doesn't mean that if a scholar uses Gyan as a publishing house, we bar that as a source for use here. Case by case basis is the rule afaik. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:54, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had referred on Gyan book written by a Fulbright scholar and it was considered good at RS. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:57, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just an update, I am reading "Our Moon Has Blood Clots: The exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits". That would give an idea on structure of the article.-sarvajna (talk) 05:21, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable Sources

Hi Yogesh, I don't understand. If the truth is not reflected here, what is the purpose of having it here. Who chooses reliable sources? How can one source be called reliable while others be discarded as unreliable? I was dragged into that forum, I had provided my view points in the talk page of the article itself. I really don't understand this, the scientific evidence, observable evidence etc clearly suggest that controversial article over which the argument was happening was clearly wrong. The observable evidence in this case was so obvious that there wont be any need for someone to write it down anywhere. And if someone decided to write down a lie, how could that become a reliable source? Amal89 (talk) 19:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amal89 I thank you for bothering to write to me. Wikipedia has rules, but like everywhere it isn't perfect. If you check wp:RS you will have detailed definitions of what a reliable source is and what isn't then you have the Reliable sources notice board in case of a dis-argument, all I say is if something is bothering you, put it on the back burner, if the mistake is really notable, it is bound to be seen by other editors and there will soon be a consensus and it will be notified. Wikipedia you see rules by wp:CONSENSUS, plus arguments that are wp:OSE like don't work. Please leave controversial topics alone, and have fun editing else where, keep the article on your watch watchlist and you can contribute positively whenever there is a consensus that agrees with you. Thanks again. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 04:17, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Yogesh, perhaps I should wait until I find a source that also meets the wp:RS. Amal89 (talk) 11:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If possible kindly create your user page too. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 12:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Modi

I thought we were doing so well but you've gone off course here with your political stuff again. The edit quite deliberately did not mention Teli because that is a caste and would require self-identification. However, OBC is not a caste but rather an official government designation. If you and Ratnakar do not come to your senses about this dreadfully biassed article then you will find yourselves at ANI again, and with your history it will likely not be a good result. - Sitush (talk) 18:00, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with you, however I have as a policy decided not to edit war, I have repeated many times, I have no control over what you do. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 20:40, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The text says "He has claimed that his family were designated as an OBC", do the quoted sources support this statement? If the article is dreadfully biassed (sic) I don't see what stops anyone from improving it. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 20:45, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The content was not added by me, I was working on improving it per the source and Ratnakar deleted it three times as I was trying to resolve the issues including by introducing additional sources. That put me on three reverts and then you came along and removed the whole thing. Between you, Ratnakar and the lamp-post, the article has been massively sanitised in recent months, obscuring much of the facets of this man's character and actions that have been reliably reported. I, too, removed some content and toned-down the phrasing of other stuff but in my absence it began to take on the appearance of a Hindutva-favouring gloss-over job. This is precisely one of the issues that has been raised in relation to you two at ANI before now. I'd love to see what would happen if I added that he has been described as a "hard-core RSS leader" by a well-known, Wikipedia-notable political scientist who specialises in Indian affairs but, in the interests of fairness, I've left that out for a long time also.

Biassed is a correct spelling, btw - no idea what your "sic" is for, so you'll have to explain that one. - Sitush (talk) 21:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(1) I was unaware that "biassed" was an alternate legitimate spelling to biased, one that I am more familiar with. I read more into it than I should have. My bad. (2)I was reading a recent ANI case, and I just saw an editor being penalised for using the terms "Zionist"... "pro-Israeli"; I wonder when Indians would be afforded the same sensitivity. (3)I don't know why you are creating an association "you & Ratnakar", please don't. (4)I needn't say this, yet you are free to make any legitimate edits, including mentioning Modi's RSS association. The RSS is a legal pan-India organisation, that won't be a BLP issue, and the same can be supported by wp:Rs. Though "hard-core" would be "weasel". (5)I declared on the talk page months ago my opinion that the Modi article was not well written, I have tried to improve it the way I could. If you regard my work differently, you are free to have your views and take appropriate action. (6)You write "The content was not added by me" what do I infer from that? That you have no issue with its removal? Then why did you bring the specific deletion up? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:06, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The lead does mention that Modi has been a member of the RSS since childhood. It is a statement of facts. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:33, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Link to ANI case that mentions Zionism, pro-Israel and Jewishness.[2]Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush, 1) I did not delete either the source or the wordings that Modi is a OBC, I just removed the extra things about OBC that you had written. 2) Between you, Ratnakar and the lamp-post, the article has been massively sanitised in recent months, obscuring much of the facets of this man's character and actions that have been reliably reported Let me tell you neither me nor Yogesh have done any major changes to the article in past few months so stop accusing us of doing something which we have not done. 3) I'd love to see what would happen if I added that he has been described as a "hard-core RSS leader" by a well-known, Wikipedia-notable political scientist who specialises in Indian affairs The very second line of the article says that he is a RSS member since childhood. Like YK said hard-core would be "weasel", even if you want to write more about his association with RSS, you are free to do so. On your talk page you say ...Yogesh, who of course is/was another of the Hindutva fraternity and you also say that Hindutva is a Fascist policy, in a way you are calling me and YK a Fascist which is not at all acceptable, please avoid using such terms in future. --sarvajna (talk) 10:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Katkari

Hello Yogesh. Good to see you have created a page for the Katkari. I created one in my sandbox April 1, and was waiting to transfer it over. Yes, I am quoting my own work, along with other key authors on this community. As there are very few published accounts on this community I do not see how one can avoid referring to this new book. It is a credible source, among very few available. If it is too prominent in your view I would be happy to reduce the number of references. Suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Buckles (talk • contribs) 14:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is a grey area as far as I am concerned. Please don't link to your site, if you wish to have media in the article, please upload it to Wikipedia Commons and then link it, the way you have done with the photos. If you check my sandbox I too had it there for months. You see if there aren't many sources it means the subject isn't notable. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:06, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Grizzly/grisly

Hey Yogesh, no big deal but I thought I'd just mention this for your info. Your command of English is better than some English people I could name but I think at WT:INB you meant "Grisly scenes at Ezhava", not "grizzly". They are homophones, as with "their" and "there". Maybe it was just a slip - I do it myself occasionally - but if not then now you know. I know that you have access to decent dictionaries etc so I won't bore you with the difference in definitions here. - Sitush (talk) 16:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I share company with George Ord in having being stumped by this homophone. Now I know. Thanks. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 03:34, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm more or less taking a few days off and doing some reading around stuff. I've just read a review of a new book - Does Spelling Matter?, Simon Horobin, Oxford University Press - in The Guardian newspaper and thought a couple of snippets might amuse you. Jerome K. Jerome apparently said that English spelling "would seem to have been designed chiefly as a disguise to pronunciation"; and Mario Wandruszka (a linguist) thinks it is "an insult to human intelligence". I'm no linguist, being limited to English and gibberish, but I do think that the homophone situation is one of the big issues with the language. I have no idea whether the same applies in other languages. - Sitush (talk) 08:57, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cruelty to animals

This is a tricky one to argue. we sort of have to recognize that some categories SOUND POV, but are in fact neutral. I hadnt actually realized that this was true for a lot of categories. And yes, i am trying to stick up for animals as part of this. I personally (this is not reflected in my editing of course), believe that our job with the animals we are caretakers for is to eliminate their sense of suffering (esp. the sense of being trapped), and keep the pain of their death for our consumption to the absolute minimum. this would allow domesticated animals to live in the relative comfort of our care, free from predators and the stress of nature, as they would do very poorly in nature now. this philosophy would require advocates to legally speak for each species of animals (perhaps people with autism), and would require that we eliminate all factory farming, even if it means we gradually reduce the human population (lower replacement rate, not forced death of course) to allow for humane raising of animals for food. and, as you can tell, i believe that veganism is neither evolutionarily correct for humans, nor feasible for the majority (sort of dangerous from a protein point of view: maybe we can start a "krillianism" movement, where we eat plant foods and krill only).Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:58, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks for your userpage. that is a very wise story. I hope my argument is not offensive. I am simply trying to figure out how ethical humans can reconcile their animal ancestry as omnivores who appear to need animal protein in part to thrive.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:04, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and reliability

If you want to contest a claim made in a reliably published source you have to present a better source which contradicts it. The next time you try to challenge or discredit a source that is clearly reliably published without providing a reference from another source in support of your opinion I will start an ANI thread asking for administrative intervention against your disruption. It is impossible to have a reasonable discussion about content if you reserve the right to reject any source without feeling the need to present any stronger evidence than because you say so. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 17:03, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You ask me to support anything I have written specifically, I will promptly do so. Regarding AN/I I have no control over your actions. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:14, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked you five or six times in different threads on the talkpage to support your claims and not a single time have you presented more than a bald claim that it is obvious that the source is unreliable for this reason or other based on your personal knowledge and opinion. That is intolerable. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 17:38, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm bald, not my facts, please check the article talk page after a minute. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:42, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Anita Pratap

Good subject. You need to expand it a bit more. Its currently a little more than 1100 characters and 1500 characters is a minimum requirement for WP:DYK. You may introduce a section on her career adding her journey. Also write about her works; books, documentaries and others. That would fit the length issues. And then you should nominate it. Note: The nomination has to go on or before 25th April. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:42, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Anita Pratap

On 28 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Anita Pratap, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1983, Anita Pratap became the first journalist to interview LTTE chief V. Prabhakaran? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anita Pratap. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Topic Ban

YK, I do not know how you would do that but you should get the terms of your topic ban cleared. When they say that you cannot edit anything related to Indian history what part of history are they taking about. Technically even yesterday is history and people can drag you to ANI for writing about a topic which is less than 12 years old.-sarvajna (talk) 12:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I said at Talk:Narendra Modi, it would be somewhat unfair if someone did that and I think they would get short shrift at ANI. I suspect that a safe bet would be not to edit where stuff happened more than a generation ago. I think a generation is roughly 25 years? - Sitush (talk) 12:30, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So you've found your voice that you lost when I asked you about Thatcher/Thackeray's funeral article. If anyone would wish to initiate proceedings for Modi/ anything else, there is little that I can do about such pervert applications of policies that are meant to be used to help build a better encyclopaedia and not to browbeat or bully. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:02, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have lost me here, sorry. I have little interest in either Thatcher (Margaret, presumably, whom I had no time for and whose article I have thus deliberately avoided) or any of the Thackerays, other than perhaps William. William is a quite interesting author but, of course, has to be read "in his time". He can be pretty funny but is somewhat forgotten because he was writing around the same time as Charles Dickens.

I'm fair: some leeway regarding the definition of history is desirable but, by the same token, your topic ban was precisely because you exhibit tendencies towards POV stuff that the wider community deemed to be unsuitable. Do not blame me for what consensus says. That sarvajna has so far escaped some similar ban is a source of constant amazement to me, but they have had warnings at ANI etc and perhaps should not push the issue. - Sitush (talk) 01:06, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy that you prefer to duck the Thatcher/Thackeray funeral issue or perhaps leave it alone. Some time ago it dawned on me that life has been extremely kind to me and that I have been so very fortunate. It is not worth spending time bickering, it helps me finding the positives in events that happen to me and people that I come across. I've also learnt that I've very little control over what others do to me, so I might as well stop bothering about that. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:56, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush, I do not know what you are talking about That sarvajna has so far escaped some similar ban is a source of constant amazement to me, but they have had warnings at ANI etc and perhaps should not push the issue. I have never been warned at ANI except once here and if you read that discussion again you will see that I had requested the admin to give evidence of my POV pushing behavior several times and they never provided one (in September 2012). I would not like to speak more about this past discussion. I know you would be very happy to see me topic banned but I assure you that it would not happen however strong your evil intentions might be. -sarvajna (talk) 10:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but you are mentioned at WP:ANI again - see here. - Sitush (talk) 23:56, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I seems that by the time I've had time to answer the said thread has been archived. You've written there: "I am not suggesting that you have a bias but I do think that you have taken your eye of the ball. I've done that and, hey, it happens but in the interval while you claim to have been watching there have been massive removals of arguably non-favourable content - mostly by Yogesh Khandke - that went undiscussed, was often reinstated by others (not me), and there was not a peep out of you. So, how long has your eye been off this particular ball? The RfC is A Good Thing. Maunus suggested it and I agreed. Later, much later, you said the same thing today. So what is your problem here?" You have made unsubstantiated allegations:

• I made massive removals of non-favourable content, implying that there has been selective editing by me, keeping what is favourable and removing what is non-favourable.
• Most of the removals have been made by me.

Now these are accusations, where is the evidence. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:02, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Local Body Tax

Hi! You seem to be inactive currently. (Why does that happen whenever i need you? ) But still will drop a note here. I waited and waited for someone to create an article on LBT. But alas, no one did and i had to take that task. I have created it now and i am kinda happy with whatever is in it. More needs to go on protests and a section of opinions by notable people might also be added. Various counter-suggestions also need to be added. But i personally lack huge interest in such topics and find it very time consuming (although worth at the end). Hence i thought your editing would be helpful. I am also afraid that maybe due to lack of much knowledge of mine on the topic, i might represent things in a wrong or unnecessarily complicated manner which someone with better interest and knowledge would simplify and correct. Do edit it when you are back.
YK's page stalkers are also welcome in helping. In case you know of any editor with special interest in taxation, please spread the word there. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:57, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Grammar

As an example of the issue at NYSD, the phrase would be "similarly-focussed column" - although doubling the "s" is not required, hyphenation is. - Sitush (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh thanks but the issue is that the Diary originated as a column per source. That wasn't clear from the way it read, so tweaked. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:57, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is clear, believe me. I'll try to think up an example for the hyphen thing because it can be a bit tricky. - Sitush (talk) 15:59, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Take the example of well known and well-known. The hyphen exists to avoid ambiguity and should usually be applied if the adjectival words are followed by a noun. Thus, a "well known writer" might be read as being a known writer in good health or a person known to be a writer. Equally, it would be a "well-known car manufacturer" rather than a "well known car manufacturer". On the other hand, "I am well known for being wrong" (note that adjectival words are not immediately followed by a noun).

This is probably about as clear as mud but it is the best I can do at short notice. - Sitush (talk) 16:06, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh you got me all wrong, the explicitness I needed is explained here under.

• Your version: . It is maintained by David Patrick Columbia, who founded it in 2000 having originally written a monthly column with similar focus for Quest magazine from 1993.
• My version: The Diary originated in 1993 as a monthly column for the Quest magazine. The column had a similar focus to the present website.
• The source verbatim: "His signature New York Social Diary began in 1993 as a monthly society column in Quest magazine"

Your version doesn't inform that the diary began as a column. That was the purpose of my edits.

Hi. If it's not any inconvenience, could you comment at this RSN post? It seems I'm getting feedback from editors who've cited the source in their edits to articles, and I'd like a more impartial opinion. Dan56 (talk) 00:03, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.

The article Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:NEO: "To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term." - the current article is entirely "sources that use the term".

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. McGeddon (talk) 16:02, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Those three sources are all just using the term to compare some personal situation to the Monopoly card. For a recent neologism where sources have actually written about the term and its usage, take a look at Chapulling. We need to find a source that's taken a serious look at the sentence's adoption as a household phrase - I've had a quick look through Google News, but can only find people using the metaphor themselves to describe something else. --McGeddon (talk) 16:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edits on Samra page

I have mostly never included anything without a citation on Wikipedia, and where I earlier did I have myself removed such text. I think Sitush, as an experience Wiki editor is bullying in his deletions of anything related to an author called James Tod, whose books are taught in History colleges across Rajasthan as the bible of Rajput history. My premise is that I am just reproducing what has been printed in his well known books. To judge the correctness of historical premises is always a contentious issue and we cannot dismiss a writer just because some people have said that Tod is an un-reliable source. And then he is feigning ignorance of the fact that Samra and Sumra are different spellings of the same HIndi surname, something akin to Dutta/Datta, Agarwal/Agrawal, Misra/Mishra. He has ruthlessly vandalised the entire page and made it a stub after all the hard work that has gone into finding reliable well known sources of information on it. I am not a Wikipedia Pro, I seek your help in resolving this issue. You review what I have reverted with an open mind and then decide amongst your Wiki-peers. If there is a dispute resolution mechanism on Wikipedia, I am willing to take my case there.Kulveer (talk) 08:32, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) James Tod is the antithesis of a reliable source. He meets WP:RS only when we are quoting him on his own opinion. This has been discussed dozens of times before.

Hi! I came across this link www.Khapre.org which has full texts of many Marathi books, ranging from songs, bhajans, poems, aartis, lokgeete, plays and many more. Could be useful sometime. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:25, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When was your

indefinite topic ban lifted? I seem to recall previously at one of the ANI threads that it was still in place. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:07, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Read: "Topic-ban enacted: banned from all edits on the subjects of colonialism and Indian history." I am staying a barge pole's distance from the scope of my ban. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are violating that topic ban every time you post on the talk page of Anti-Muslim violence in India‎ as the article covers Indian history, please do not post there or at the DYK for said article again or I will have little option but to report you for violating your topic ban. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:22, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can do what you want, Gujarat 2002 isn't Indian history, neither is Nellie 1983 nor is Mumbai 1992-93. This ban issue has been discussed at AN/I, during MRT3366's case. We are discussing contemporary events. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:35, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A History of India Wiley tells a different tale as it mentions the 2002 violence, and something such as Nellie is not a contemporary event it happened 20 years ago. I will ask FPaS for clarification. Darkness Shines (talk) 22:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)I for example can edit India as long as I stay away where history related sections/ sentences. The same holds true with Anti-Muslim violence in India, I need to stay away from historical incidents, which I have. Same goes with the 2006 shrine violence. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By definition yesterday is history. 1983 is 30 years ago not 20, happened very much in my lifetime. Actually I was a teen then. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 22:51, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Identifying admins

Thanks for trying to do what you tried to do regarding Soham321. It pains me almost as much to take the course I did as to tolerate what led up to it. They are, of course, going to be even less happy now regarding me now and thus it is best that I stay away from their talk page. I realise that you've joined Kim Dent-Brown in trying to talk them away from another precipice and I wonder if you would be prepared to set them right about one more thing: they've just created a checklist (noticed when I was reviewing the terms of the ban) and they've got the wrong end of the stick regarding Mark Miller, whom they think is an admin. Please could you point them to Mark's user rights, which lack the "administrator" right that you can see, for example, here. I wonder if this misunderstanding is related to their previous repeated visits to WP:DRN, ie: that they mistakenly thought that the volunteers at DRN are admins. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 04:30, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was unaware of their mistaking me for an admin. This seems to happen quite often including one very stupid media report sometime back (but under the username Amadscientist). Please do set them straight or if you wish I can simply leave them a note letting them know I am not an administrator here, just very vocal.--Mark _{Just ask! WER TEA DR/N} 04:36, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sitush, is it possible you saw the name Amadscientist (my old username. Just changed a few days ago) next to my name and in a quick scan thought he referred to me as administration? I can't see anything there about me as an admin and nothing that looks like it was changed.--Mark _{Just ask! WER TEA DR/N} 04:52, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I looked under your old username as well as your new one before commenting above. As far as I can see, the old redirects to the new. I think it is just another of Soham's misunderstandings. Hopefully, some time spent away from the Singh article will give them breathing space to familiarise themselves with things, although given their past problems at the Narendra Modi article, I do think that would be more easily achieved if they voluntarily stayed away from everything related to the politics of India for a while: it is a toxic environment at the best of times, it is particularly difficult for newbies, there are elections coming up and, of course, being India-related, it tends not to get the same level of oversight. - Sitush (talk) 05:19, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, I see what you mean now. No, they changed it after I posted here. Probably saw the Echo. - Sitush (talk) 05:22, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OTOH, this stuff is simply point-y (spotted because I have Dharmadhyaksha's talk page watchlisted). - Sitush (talk) 05:56, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Sitush:I had suggested ways of identifying whether an editor is an admin or not.[4] Soham has corrected Mark's status on his talk page. So that is all I suppose. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:54, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. I also didn't see how it was a list of who they thought were admin. Got it and note the change. Thanks.--Mark _{Just ask! WER TEA DR/N} 19:31, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

I have raised your topic ban violations at ANI, the section is here Darkness Shines (talk) 14:58, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Topic ban block

Since you have repeatedly flouted your topic ban, and your last violation earned you a 1-month block, I have blocked you for 3 months. This last episode is a clear violation by any reasonable and logical interpretation. When you return, I strongly suggest you take an interest in some other topic areas that aren't even remotely related to Indian history. Your next violation may very well result in an indefinite block or community ban. --Laser brain (talk) 13:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your post haste acceptance does not seem convincing; my suggestion would be to be away from the project for three months and come back with a fresh mind and perspectives that involve group discussions and consensus based approaches.

Your indefinite topic ban prohibiting you from making any edits related to the history of India broadly construed is still in effect.

Notification of discretionary sanctions

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Personal addendum

I would like to add a couple of comments regarding the notification above, which unfortunately must be included verbatim with no additional text. First, these sanctions for better or worse include Ayurveda. I make no judgment on whether that determination is correct, but it must nevertheless be followed. Second, this notification in no way implies any current problems with your edits. It is merely a notice that the article in question is subject to closer than usual scrutiny, and is meant to help you avoid unknowingly falling afoul of the restrictions.

Ayurveda

Hi, and thank you for your contributions. I noticed this edit. While I accept that this was a good faith attempt to improve the article, you should be aware that under the special measures in force at the article you should have discussed this addition at talk first and gained consensus to add it. In the future please observe the restrictions which were placed to control a dispute about the content of the article. If you are not able to edit according to this restriction it is likely you will be individually restricted, which will help nobody. --John (talk) 21:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for sounding naive, but do these restrictions mean that non controversial edits that provide cold facts based on RS cannot be done too? If it is so then it is better to "lock" the article from editing, so that editors do not make edits and face sanctions. Pl discuss. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 01:34, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

John I would also be obliged that this discussion be taken to the article talk page, so as to treat this as a request from me to impose "edit restrictions" on the article, in case non-controversial edits such as the one I have made are not "kosher".

I don't know whether you remember me but we had interacted sometime in 2013. Recently i remembered you and went to your talk page to see which articles you have been editing. And i saw you were editing the page on Ayurveda. I went to the page, then from there i clicked on the link to the Charaka Samhita and made several changes to the Charaka Samhita page. I have also left a note on the talk page of the Ayurveda page. Regards. Soham321 (talk) 00:26, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:43, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ambernath taluka

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Ambernath taluka, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Thane taluka. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 09:17, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kalyan taluka

Hi Yogesh! How are you? Seeing you after many days....
Just happened to notice that the subject article you created was duplicating the existsing Kalyan Taluka. Hence have merged the content from your written article boldly into the old one, without going through the usual merger system. As you were the main contributor of it, thought of dropping this note. Feel free to change. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:34, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

December 2015

Please refrain from using an IP address to vote a second time in deletion discussions as you appear to have done here: [5] and here: [6]. See WP:SOCKPUPPET. E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:34, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've been blocked for socking before; whether that was justified or not, you should know better than this, especially given ARBIPA. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:41, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No! I've spent too long on Wikipedia to make such stupid mistakes, get a CU done if you wish. AGF E.M.Gregory, Vanamonde93 I'm not that IP. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've been blocked before, including alleged socking, I appealed against the socking allegation and the block was over ruled. I don't sock. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:45, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've read through that. Like I said, whether justified or not, the block meant that you had to be aware of the policies. The IP Geolocated to Mumbai; and had three contributions, two in the last year, both to deletion discussions you had participated in, shortly after you had, and agreeing with you. So you'll forgive me if I was suspicious. I'm willing to believe you, and am not remotely in the frame of mind to seek enforcement in any case; but for your own sake you should probably come up with an explanation for this. Oh, and a CU won't clear or incriminate you, because a CU will not link an account to an IP except under exceptional circumstances. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:55, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vanamonde93: I agree with you, it is too obvious that is perhaps my only explanation. Someone following me around, perhaps a good Samaritan.[7] I don't know how CU works, all I know is that is where suspected socks are sent. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:07, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A good samaritan, or one of your colleagues, perhaps? Anyhow, I don't think anybody will do anything about it this time; next time, I doubt you'd be so lucky. Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vanamonde93 did you see the link above? :-) Yogesh Khandke (talk) 18:31, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Any clue how many internet connected devices in Mumbai Vanamode93? Close to 10 million. Supporting someone who decisively accuses an editor of socking (skipping spi case) is exemplary bad faith. --AmritasyaPutra^T 06:55, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant; the odds of somebody unrelated commenting on precisely those two AfDs, and nothing else, after YK did, are astronomical. An SPI will not reveal anything new. CUs will not link IPs to users. And I strongly suggest you find something more productive to do with your time; a very substantial portion of your recent edits are contradicting me on talk pages to no purpose. YK, yes, I read the link; it's fairly entertaining, and yes, I can see how that may be an issue. Anyhow, there's nothing further to do here. Vanamonde93 (talk) 08:28, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Your response is to attack me? If you suspect socking goto SPI. If you think I am violating policy discuss it with me or on appropriate notice board. You do remember reverting me blindly where you re-introduced doctored quotes? So, who is stalking whom? --AmritasyaPutra^T 08:50, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a real person Vanamonde93, not your anonymous Wikipedia editor - I don't live in Mumbai. I am active in real world Wikipedia outreach programmes. My username is my own name. I live over 100 km away from where the IP address is located per whois, a three hour train journey changing trains twice or thrice. I am not the IP. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alright; I believe you. Your name has cropped up in connection with leading protests in Mumbai; this is why I made the connection, and the point is that anybody else would do the same. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:23, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ravi Jadhav

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 Ravi Jadhav, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Proposed deletion of K. V. L. Narayan Rao

The article K. V. L. Narayan Rao has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

seems to be a non-notable employee of a notable company, no stand-alone notability as such meeting WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 07:07, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ARBIPA sanctions alert

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Kautilya3 (talk) 18:18, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yogesh, it has been pointed out to me that you are currently under an indefinite topic ban covering Indian history [8]. It may not however be clear what "Indian history" means. As per WP:HISTRS,

Articles that deal with current events, or events occurring entirely in the previous one or two years are not regarded as historical articles, since they have not been studied by historians. When historians first begin to write about an event, then it should be regarded as a historical article. Sources that were previously satisfactory, such as reports in the mainstream press, should be replaced by sources from historical scholarship.

Please consult modern history texts such as Ramachandra Guha[1] to determine what events count as history. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:21, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kautilya3: (1) What is the context in which ARBIPA sanctions have been invoked by you? (2) You say "...it has been pointed out to me", will you please share diff of that discussion here, for me perhaps to be able to have a broader understanding of the concerns raised. Tx. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 23:28, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did not "invoke" sanctions, I just gave an alert. It was prompted by some discussion around that time, probably to do with Ayodhya dispute or some such thing. I don't remember now, it has been a while. Then somebody pointed out to be that you were already under a topic ban for Indian history. Please see my talk page for that discussion. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 00:05, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(1) @Kautilya3: Please share edit(s) by me that triggered the "alert" if possible. (2) (repeated) You say "...it has been pointed out to me", will you please share diff of that discussion here, for me perhaps to be able to have a broader understanding of the concerns raised. Tx. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yogesh, I pointed out to Kautilya that you were under a topic ban; the evidence for this is on his talk page. In any case, it is hardly a secret. No specific action is necessary for an ARBIPA sanctions notice to be posted here. It is a notice, that everybody active in the area should be aware of, even if their activity was entirely unproblematic. That said, your edits to Bajrang Dal both skirt the edge of the topic ban, and have sourcing issues, as I have already stated there. Hence this notice is entirely justified.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arrest of Souvik Sarkar until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Jionakeli (talk) 16:29, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yogesh, regardless of what happens to the article at AfD, you should probably move the article and edit it to remove the name of the individual in question. When not essential to the subject, using the name is questionable with respect to BLP. Vanamonde (talk) 17:28, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pl suggest alternate title. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 17:44, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's really your problem, not mine, but something along the lines of "2017 Baduria arrest" or something that mentions the violence would be okay. Which is not to say that the article is fine, but to fix an immediately problematic aspect of it. Vanamonde (talk) 17:55, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Sunil Chhatrapal Kedar

The article Sunil Chhatrapal Kedar has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Varrier

You say you are going to add the FIR stuff again to the Varrier article. You were bold in doing so on the first occasion and I reverted you. I also explained why on the talk page. If you add it again without consensus, I will seek a block because you are well aware of the restrictions that exist in the Indic topic area and, alas, have something of a history when it comes to stirring communal tensions here. So, please do not do it. - Sitush (talk) 14:06, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't bold, and you are indulging in complete nonsense, "stirring communal tensions" and as usual because you don't have a logical argument you're issuing block threats. Which is clearly anti-Wikipedia and unfortunate. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:11, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Any edit is bold. If an edit is challenged then that pretty much confirms it. - Sitush (talk) 14:21, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oxymoronic isn't that, or if you please editing is for the bold. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 14:26, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever it is, it has been the same since long before you started contributing. And you should know it, given how much you have been involved here. - Sitush (talk) 14:28, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No I disagree, one needs to be careful and diligent with sources and honest with reproduction, Wikipedia isn't a battlefield only for sabre rattling Don Quixotes, that is how the majority of the work has been done, millions of articles and zillions of edits.

Autopatrolled revoked

I see you have already been counseled above as to inappropriately promotional material. Since you have written another promotional article at Sambhaji Bhide, I have revoked your autopatrolled user right. Seraphimblade ^Talk to me 19:26, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have created over 450 articles, with 4/5 deletions so I can claim reasonable degree of acquaintance with article creation. A page I created was speedy deleted for being promotional, I disagree, that it is so, I attempted to discuss the issue with the deleting admin, however he sees no need to discuss, I wish to know the appropriate forum where I may contest the deletion. Thanks. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 08:20, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yogesh. I can tell the deleted article was Sambhaji Bhide, and that the discussion took place at Special:Permalink/827713248#Sambhaji Bhide. G11 is one of the criteria under which an article can not be undeleted at WP:RFU. As I write this, the article can still be viewed in full in Google's cache. Sorry, but I have to agree with Seraphimblade here, that article needs a total rewrite based on sources; if you remove the flowering discription of Bhide be other people, there's not much left, is there? Sam Sailor 10:37, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My advice is to drop this and move on. I came here, alerted by your "help me" tag, and after looking at the nauseatingly sycophantic deleted article in question, I looked at just a few of the other articles you have created. None of those that I looked at were so glaringly unsuitable that I speedily deleted them, but several of them looked to me mildly promotional, and many of them were on topics which were not immediately obviously notable either. The more you call attention to the fact that some articles you have created have been considered unsuitable by respected and experienced editors, the more likely that other articles you have created will come under scrutiny. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:05, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@JamesBWatson:Will you give an example of a sentence that you find objectionable in the article, it is in my sandbox, I could retrieve it from the cache @Sam Sailor: linked above. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, because it isn't a question of individual sentences that I find "objectionable", it's a question of the overall tone of the whole article, and if I were to single out a particular sentence it would give a totally misleading impression of what I mean. Frankly, if you can write stuff like that and need to be told why it is seen as not being written from a neutral point of view then you have such a total blindness to the nature of your own writing that I doubt that it would be possible to explain it to you. The article was written by someone who thinks that the person it was about is good and wants to tell the world how good he is, and nobody could possibly read it without realising that. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:15, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@JamesBWatson: On tone wp:BLP writes "BLPs should be written responsibly, cautiously, and in a dispassionate tone, avoiding both understatement and overstatement. Articles should document in a non-partisan manner what reliable secondary sources have published about the subjects", I have written what sources have written about him, I have used synonyms and paraphrased, when I used English sources in order to avoid plagiarism, where sources aren't in English I have translated and paraphrased. The summary of article is, "The subject is a MSC in Atomic Energy who secured a gold medal while qualifying, taught in a college. First worked for RSS then left it and started his own organisation, Is an octogenarian, very senior public persons, such as the PM of India, the CM of Maharashtra, and the chief of the party that has been in govt for two terms in the state of Maharashtra, give him respect and deference, including changing flight path once, and calling him their inspiration. Subject remains a brahmachari, rides a bicycle and goes bare foot, wears traditional clothes. A senior public person, now Prime Minister of India, said about him to the effect, don't judge a book by its cover. The subject, is politically neutral, he agitates against the government run by these very people in the case of the custodial death of a youngster. The subject in reply to a theological controversy, says that freedom of choice of worship is intrinsic to Hindu dharma, I've also quoted the PM once.', the article is written in a non-partisan matter of fact manner, based on unrelated reliable secondary sources. There are no violations of BLP tone guidelines; no unnecessary passion, neither hyperbole nor irresponsible editing, no lack of caution. Only honest conservative representation of sources. For non-English sources used, if you desire I'll share verbatim excerpts and translate. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:11, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I absolutely concur with the G11 deletion and the revocation of the autopatrolled flag.I had explicitly warned you previously.~ Winged Blades^Godric 11:07, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yogesh, I think the problem historically has been that in your attempts to assert notability of marginal subjects, you tend to flood short articles with a lot of trivial, poorly sourced points gleaned through Google searches etc. You tack together literally anything you can find that mentions the person/organisation without really applying an editorial filter regarding what is actually worth noting and what is not. That is also why a lot of your creations are very disjointed when read: they're just a random assembly of factoids. - Sitush (talk) 11:25, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a work in progress, if any article needs improvement, editors can do so, I have myself rewritten many articles from a scratch by adding information supported by necessary sources, where there was none, each person can do so much and if there are lacunae others correct/ improve upon it. Also I am aware that GNG doesn’t accept passing reference and I use sources that only comply to that rule. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:34, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I dispute the poorly sourced allegation, I try to be diligent in sourcing, and I believe what I write is as well sourced as the better contributions here. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 11:41, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is a work in progress but no-one can polish a turd and you seem to be under the misapprehension sometimes (quite often, in fact) that because something is said in a source it should thus be said in the article. I do suspect that is often because of your desire to assert notability for marginal articles but if other people think otherwise then maybe I've got it wrong, not you. - Sitush (talk) 12:00, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What I certainly can’t match you in, is in the use of phrases employing words about excretory products or genetalia, because of lack of habit, considering that in my culture it is unacceptable to do so in civil conversation. Regarding sourcing I can assert with reasonable confidence that I source my content diligently using reliable secondary sources. I also request you to either help me in the issue at hand or kindly disengage, alternately if you have anything specific regarding the particular article, pl feel free to air your views. I have asked JW for an example in support of what he has written. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 12:16, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You have made it clear that you think the article was written from a neutral point of view. Sureshkhole, who tagged the article for neutral point of view, evidently thought it wasn't. Seraphimblade, who deleted the article as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion", evidently thought it wasn't. Sam Sailor, who has stated above that he agrees with Seraphimblade, evidently thought it wasn't. Winged Blades of Godric, who has stated above "I absolutely concur with the G11 deletion", evidently thought it wasn't. I have made it clear above that I think it wasn't. Do you begin to notice a pattern? Which do you think is more likely to be an objective assessment of a person's writing, that person's own opinion, unsupported by anyone else, or the unanimous opinion of five other, independent, observers? Sitush's comments are more about notability and sources than about neutrality of tone, but it adds to the general consensus that the article was unsuitable. I repeat once more that my advice is to drop this and move on. You are going to get absolutely nowhere with this. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:

• If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
• If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;

If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. Alexbrn (talk) 23:19, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For editing medical content on Wikipedia, WP:CIR is assumed. Perhaps you are out of your depth venturing into this topic without an understanding of source quality. The PMID 24192111 study you are trying to use is from a listing service, not a US government publication, and is a low-quality lab study unusable for the article. WP:MEDHOW may help clarify medical-content sourcing and editing for you. Another explanation about source quality is here. --Zefr (talk) 00:29, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting page:Aditi Banerjee

A page you created, Aditi Banerjee, does not seem to have enough independent context and reliable third party sources to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia in itself. It has been redirected to Invading the Sacred which has been authored by her and is the sole reason of her notability.∯WBG^converse 12:48, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mooji

Hi, Yogesh Khandke! I have reverted your edit at Mooji. Sections named "criticism" are rarely appropriate on articles about living persons. Perhaps if many reliable sources are strongly negative, but in the case of Mooji there is a single source and it's not exceptionally critical of him. Woodroar (talk) 02:04, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Would you prefer controversy. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 23:26, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's just as bad. I would suggest reading through the policy WP:BLP before editing any more articles about living persons. The "Criticism" and "Controversy" issue comes up at BLPN from time to time and the consensus is usually to use a neutral heading like "Reception". That's especially true when the statements about the subject are relatively mild, as in the case of Mooji. Woodroar (talk) 00:16, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article's tone is not neutral, it informs that the reception that the subject has received is that he is a "Global peddler of metaphysical mumbo-jumbo". Is this wp:undue or does it comply to wp:blp. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 00:48, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also I disagree that the criticism is mild, the article is a sneering pompous hatchet job on the subject. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 00:50, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article is neutral—that is, it complies with our WP:NPOV policy—because it's an accurate summary of what reliable, third-party sources have written about the subject. It used to be worse, filled with BLP-violating content, until I and several other editors rewrote it in January 2020. You can read the discussions about the (former) problems and rewrite at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive297#Mooji (which is how I found out about the subject) and Talk:Mooji#Rewrite based on reliable sources. The "mumbo-jumbo" part is a single sentence of criticism from Outlook, a weekly news magazine that has experienced editors and journalists and is widely cited/mentioned by reliable sources like CNN and The Sunday Times. Woodroar (talk) 01:19, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That (neutrality) is your perspective, I disagree with it. Wp:undue isn't about quality of source, it is about weightage. Does this tasteless nonsense represent global reception to Mooji. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 03:27, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's about the quality of the sources and the weight. We balance articles around what reliable sources say, not around the subject's opinion or that of his followers or "global reception". Some of the sources we use focus on explaining concepts that might be unfamiliar to a Western audience, but don't take a side regarding Mooji's teachings. The ones that do focus on his teachings lean towards negative, like the BBC is clearly skeptical of Mooji—the headings "Spiritual healing?" and "The lazy man’s way to enlightenment?" speak volumes. And none of the sources read as particularly positive to me, so the current Reception section seems like the right balance. If you disagree, I think your best option is to find more reliable sources. I don't think there are any, or at least there weren't when I looked in early 2020, but you can certainly look. Otherwise, you're welcome to discuss any weight or BLP issues at Talk:Mooji or at a noticeboard like WP:NPOVN or WP:BLPN. Woodroar (talk) 04:26, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The framework of talk page discussion is wp:5P, so I considered it unnecessary to qualify each remark I make thus. "Global reception" implies the way the subject of this article is treated globally in reliable sources, the opinions of his followers too carry weight when it is represented in wp:rs. BBC's view or Outlook's view is only theirs of the subject. One source, whose style, depth, tone, maturity, I have described so I need not repeat, is used in the "reception" section to describe the subject, it is I repeat wp:undue imo. For example Isabel Losada describes her meeting Mooji, saying she felt the same "something" she felt when she met the Dalai Lama.[11] Yogesh Khandke (talk) 10:48, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinions about how we should write articles—at least as I understand them—are at odds with our policies and guidelines. Perhaps there's a language barrier as well. In any case, I suggest bringing your issues to the article Talk page or an appropriate noticeboard. Woodroar (talk) 13:04, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You understand me wrong. I write Indian English, which is mutually intelligible to English and American English and other such dialects, I wonder which you use. More productive use of time would be to help the article comply to policies of the project. Thanks. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 15:49, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
