E-mails

You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.

Broadcasted

The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B

Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".

A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.

Question

Dear Arjayay, Request you to please tell the reason for the removal of council members.

Regards 122.162.146.156 (talk) 14:00, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello IP from Faridabad. You didn't say, but I assume you are talking about Army Public School, Shankar Vihar?
As I stated in my edit summary "we don't name students". This summarises the advice at Wikipedia:WPSCHOOLS/AG "Specific students should not be mentioned unless they are notable in their own right, such as Daniel Radcliffe who was famous while still in school".
AFAIK none of the students on your "Student Council " are notable enough to have their own article on the English Wikipedia, so they "should not be mentioned".
Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 14:10, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understandable and thank you for your remarks. We are adding the posts which are in the school (not the students).

Also maybe the IP is incorrect or so but it is from New Delhi.

Thanking you again

Edits on Walter White (Breaking Bad)

I reverted your edit [1] on Walter White (Breaking Bad), but I see you've reinstated it. I didn't want to revert you again, so if you could take a careful look, and make sure that's what you intended. While used is a past tense, I think use here is a hypothetical, and is expressed with the subjunctive. The series doesn't say whether Skylar did or didn't use it; it is given as Walt's suggestion that she use it. Thanks if you can consider whether to reconsider the edit. Cheers. _signed,Willondon (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your very polite post Willondon - my bad - I misunderstood what it was trying to say - I have reverted myself - thanks again - Arjayay (talk) 20:47, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Misclicked revert

Sorry for this [2]. I'm not sure how it happened but likely due to clicking on a button on a late-loading watchlist. Frost 10:09, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Frost - we all make mistakes - me more than most - happy editing - Arjayay (talk) 12:19, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon

Review the additional matter that I have added. I added the matter from www.amazon.com site. Is it not a reliable source..?? International Scientist (talk) 07:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No Amazon is a sales site, its purpose is to sell things, not provide independent, verified, information (see WP:RSPAMAZON). The fact that something or someone exists, does not make it/them WP:Notable enough for inclusion in our articles.
Furthermore, your addition at English Wikipedia was solely vandalism, even if you had cited a WP:Reliable source - Arjayay (talk) 09:32, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grootslang

Why did you remove my example. - Patagomaia 09:33, 25 Sepetember 2014 (UTC)

Hi Patagomaia - as my edit summary stated "Unsourced + unlinked" - the reader has no idea if it is true or not, and cannot look at a reference, or click on a link to another article to obtain further information. - Arjayay (talk) 08:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
