Hi DaxServer. Hope you are keeping well. Thanks for getting into my notice about a content change without reliable source. However as all my articles are Government Organisations and their functions are similar, hence the sources are only in their website which I cannot quote in the article. However the content is reliable and dependable. Kindly guide me if iam wrong and I will correct it. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 13:30, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Remove Macherla Niyojakavargam From Draft

Dear Sir

Remove Macherla niyojakavargam From Draft ,the Makers Released first song and recently I added some sources so kindly Check And Remove from draft Draft:Macherla Niyojakavargam Shiva20202020 (talk) 11:09, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Shiva20202020 I don't think the article yet passes the WP:NFF requirements that the production be notable. All I read is the usual commentary about when the production started and who is involved. But not evidence is set forward as to why the production is notable — DaxServer (t · m · c) 14:10, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Ayya Vaikundar is a belief/mythology article based on Ayyavazhi beliefs/ Ayyavazhi Mythology. The details here is elobrated upon in Akilathirattu Ammanai, the holy book of Ayyavazhi. Moreover there are hundreds of commentaries/thesis/lectures/books published in Tamil, Malayalam and English languages based on this; and few are mentioned in the reference section too. Ayya Vaikundar is a spiritual figure worshipped by million predominantly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. My edits are in consistent with this and I EXPLAINED THIS already in the talk page as well. But my edits were systematically and irresponsibly reverted many many times and now a roll back. I request you to 'be responsible' before reverting. - Vaikunda Raja:talk: 08:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


Information icon Hi Vaikunda Raja! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Ayya Vaikundar several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Ayya Vaikundar, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Please also follow WP:BRD and WP:NPOV. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:44, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

I understood; But the onus is on the other side who reverted first without valid and proper grounds. The original edit is more than 1 year old from which the reverts were performed; citing "Historical perspective" in a mythology article! So the article be should remain the way it was until further reverts/opinions. - Vaikunda Raja:talk: 08:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

May I create the articles listed in Articles Created in your Profile.?

Hey DaxServer May I create the articles listed in Articles Created in your Profile? I searched about some of them and came to the point that those are notable.

Botu Yadav (talk) 13:39, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

@Botu Yadav Of course please do so! I transcluded the list from Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian politics#Politicians (it's an incomplete list BTW, didn't have the time to extend it). All MLAs, MPs, MLCs are notable and articles can be created for them. WP:NPOL is the notability guideline for politicians. Good luck with articles. Remember that you must add reliable sources for 100% of the content in articles about living people ;) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

@DaxServer: Thank You

Botu Yadav (talk) 14:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

@Botu Yadav When you copy content from one article to another article, you have to attribute that in edit summary for copyright reasons. This applies to sister projects like Tamil Wikipedia. You can see how it's attributed at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. BTW can you provide the link to her Tamil Wikipedia page. I wasn't able to find it — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:42, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
@Botu Yadav For translations, you can see Help:Translation to see how the edit summaries are written — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:43, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@DaxServer Sorry for this time, i will read the pages suggested by you. Thank You. And also sorry that her Wikipedia Article is in Telugu language, that was my mistake sorry. https://te.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B0%86%E0%B0%A6%E0%B0%BF%E0%B0%B0%E0%B1%86%E0%B0%A1%E0%B1%8D%E0%B0%A1%E0%B0%BF_%E0%B0%AD%E0%B0%B5%E0%B0%BE%E0%B0%A8%E0%B0%BF

–|Botu Yadav (talk) 18:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)|

@Botu Yadav Could you fix the attribution for the translated articles like I did here [5]. Also, the articles about living people must be sourced 100%. Even if you translate from other wikis, if you can't find sources, you may not add the content — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:54, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

@DaxServer Thank You, and sorry for this time. I will try to not do this type of mistake in future. –|Botu Yadav (talk) 11:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)|

About Second Ashok Gehlot ministry

Hello, DaxServer I need your help in creating the article for Second Ashok Gehlot ministry because he is serving as CM of Rajasthan for the third time (Third Ashok Gehlot ministry). —|Botu Yadav (talk) 14:10, 7 June 2022 (UTC)|

Hi @Botu Yadav Let me know how I can help — DaxServer (t · m · c) 17:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@DaxServer As i am not a very old and experienced user, I want to create this article and need your help in citing and editing the article more better than me. Can you please do that? —|Botu Yadav (talk) 17:56, 7 June 2022 (UTC)|

To start with I'd recommend with a draft. I've created blank page at Draft:Second Gehlot ministry. Since this will be similar to the Third Gehlot ministry, you can copy the content from there, like the infobox and tables. When copying you must attribute that it is copied from that page, see example at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Next, you will have find references/sources for the ministers. I'm afraid you have to do that yourself as I barely know of Rajasthan. Once you fill all the information, submit it for creation via WP:AFC. You can of course directly move the article to mainspace, but with AfC - you will get some feedback about what to improve. In the end, once the draft is good, it would be accepted to mainspace. Hope it helps — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

@DaxServer:, Sorry but i wasn't notified for this message, and i created it (please check). Hope i did it good. —|Botu Yadav (talk) 19:12, 7 June 2022 (UTC)|

I edited article of Shiva and add some more information [1] I mentioned Shiva as God of Dance and in other names I added Nataraja which literally means god of the dance

There is dedicated article regarding Nataraja name of Shiva explaining all the details, so I guess there should be no issue If I add that Info

Can we help contribute to wiki?

Hey @DaxServer!

We are altiusinvestech.com and we enable retail investors to invest in the private equity markets in India. We enable buying and selling of Unlisted companies on our platform and provide the investors with an opportunity to invest in a growth stage company before it's IPO on any of the stock exchanges. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayankkhakkhar (talkcontribs) 07:17, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Can we help contribute to wiki?

Hello @DaxServer!

We at altiusinvestech.com are building a platform that allows users to buy and sell shares in the unlisted companies. We aim at making investments in the private equity space accessible to the retail investors. On our platform we have listed more than 150+ companies that are still in their growth stage and are still privately held. Retail investors can invest in such growth stage companies before their IPO comes out. Some of the companies listed on our platform are Reliance retail, Tata technologies, Mobikwik, boAt, Phameasy and many more!

I am a bit new to Wiki.

I was wondering how can we add the real time pricing of these companies to their wikipedia pages for easy accessibility to the users who are reading about these companies. We have also accumulated a lot of data points and insights about these unlisted companies that can be helpful for the readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayankkhakkhar (talkcontribs) 07:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Disruption

This literally closed as redirect less than a week ago, and the culprit is already at ANI for their persistent disruption and creation of similar FANCRUFT/INDISCRIMINATE lists... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:33, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

This and this also reflect badly upon you. Not only did you restore material which fails NOT, you also restored material which is almost entirely unsourced... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:53, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Please take them to AfD- which I see are not going your way. Re Laila, I forgot. Just looking at your contribs and saw you redirected a few that a similar list was redirected, reverted them asking to take to AfD — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 17:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
The AfDs appear to be going the wrong way because some people keep saying that the lists should be kept because "the artist is notable" or the self-perpetuating "similar lists exist" (which is a classic WP:OSE). This is getting really annoying since it's clearly a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS, but apparently Indian singers are popular enough it's impossible to enforce WP:NOT. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:55, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Not that I matter.

Hi, hope you're doing great. Humble request you to kindly have a look on an article named "Deoghar Airport". A user named "Alotorus" is adding a connecting flight/ layover flights in airlines and destination section of Deoghar Airport. I told him not to add this connecting flights as it against Wikipedia policies but he won't listen and he keeps reverting the edits done by me and some other user.The news citation attached by him clearly states that this is a connecting flight not the direct one's. Please kindly look into it. Thanks Flashthomsom (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Request on 16:22:44, 12 September 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Iam1947


My contribution has independent references from leading publishing websites in the world, yet you keep disapproving it. It is a valid ngo with global outreach and body of work. Could you please check it. It merits to be on wikipedia.

Iam1947 (talk) 16:22, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Iam1947. Welcome to Wikipedia. Re the article, it is evaluated on the lines of WP:NGO guidelines. From the references, I only see passing mentions of the FFOP in articles about the workshop and other announcements. They are not considered "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization". If you were to provide references that discuss about the NGO which are also independent publications from FFOP, then the article could merit. Hope this is clear. If not, please visit WP:TEAHOUSE where other experienced editors new editors with Wikipedia-related things! — DaxServer (t · m · c) 21:47, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks DaXServer, I have tried adding more references. These talk about the activities the NGO has undertaken and not about the NGO per se, a couple of these independent publications do cover the range of activities that were carried out under the aegis of FFOP. Shouldn't work be more important than the organization itself, especially when it is talked about by independent publications? Please see if you can review and I will visit the teahouse, thanks again. Iam1947 (talk) 06:28, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
@Iam1947 The references talk about the activities that the members of the NGO held. They don't say it's directly on behalf of the NGO. They would count as sources for that person, but not for the NGO. I see that you've resubmitted, so let's see how other reviewer evaluates — DaxServer (t · m · c) 08:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
I see you have a point, but the reports do say the NGO organised the training and dialogue. Great to have feedback as a young contributor. Thanks Iam1947 (talk) 11:47, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

DaxServer, I request you to check Ab207's talk page and my talk page to understand the issue. This user have added block warning messages on my talk page. The content I have added is sourced. He/She have always targeting me in whatever way possible. For example, during an issue on Pan-Indian film article, he was blocked due to his nature. Not only that, he have made wrong allegations against me on RRR and others articles. This line: "Telugu cinema is largest, highest, greatest? highest paid actor, highest paid director and greatest director?" show how hatred he/she have against my edits. I have only added the word "largest" and none of the above mentioned superlatives are not added by me. As said before, this is how he/she add extra masala...! to make the allegation grandeur. This user have also tagged me on every possible user's talk page, making wrong allegations against me. I hope this issue resolves soon. Thank you....

Welcome back with a Barnstar

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I know I am 6 months late, but I've finally learnt the syntax for giving barnstars :P. Thank you for your painstaking efforts in saving Mbh related pages earlier this year from vandalism and an extensive cleanup. I know it was a hellish job but you still nailed it. Panchalidraupadi (talk) 19:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks you @Panchalidraupadi I hope my efforts were fruitful. However, I think those vandals are still on WP lying around and possibly screwing up some other topic. Only time will tell. We will be vigilant in the topics that we know about. Happy editing and see you around :) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 21:29, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:You have been fruitful, but you're right about the vandals. Already found one, who is editing profusely in non-epic topics everyday, while making subtle inversion of content in select Mbh pages in favour of his hero. Will keep you posted. See you around too. :) Panchalidraupadi (talk) 10:15, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks @Panchalidraupadi.
Also, could you give me some recommendations for Mahabharata books that we could use for citations? There seems to be a lot of books but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks in advance 🙏 — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer: For primary sources, we have K.M. Ganguli's translation of the non-critical Sanskrit text available online on sacred-text website, and the Critical Edition (translated in English by Bibek Debroy) which is not in public domain as of now. For secondary scholarly sources, there are tons, so it is difficult to pinpoint some. For Arjun and Karna, you can refer to "Arjun: the Double Hero" and "Karna: The Sanskrit Hero" both by Kevin Mcgrath. For Draupadi, Alf Hiltebeitel and Dr. Pradip Bhattacharya have done extensive research. For overall Mahabharata textual criticism, books by Vishnu Sukthankar such as "Prolegomena to the Adi Parva" and "On the Meaning of Mahabharata" will help. There are a gazillion papers, journals, books, etc which you can find online, but sometimes it is hard to extract the strictly scholarly ones. Let me know if you need help with any references or facts. - Panchalidraupadi (talk) 19:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks 🙏 I think I'll start with the Arjuna and Karna books — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:29, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:Cool. You'd need that because, with big budget movies and series being announced on the epic every other day like Navatri sale, you gotta be equipped for more vandals. :P I'd suggest starting with Karna. Happy reading! Panchalidraupadi (talk) 03:35, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:There seems to be another investigation open for the vandal you identified for Karna here [7]. Would you kindly add your comments there? - (Panchalidraupadi (talk) 03:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC))

Removal of Categories

Thanks for your edits, but why have you removed categories, but why ru removing the appropriate categories which i added.

Query about Accounts

Hi @DaxServer:,

I had a question on multiple accounts. The other day, in the investigation we had here [8], the editor said he created new accounts only to test images and was not aware of all the rules.

I feel it's actually a valid point because Wiki has tons of policies, and in most cases, editors don't even read them before creating an account. Most of us learn the rules gradually. In such a scenario, if an editor, who is new to Wiki, creates a duplicate id with good faith and later realizes it's a compliance issue, how does he rectify it? (Panchalidraupadi (talk) 22:24, 30 September 2022 (UTC))

Hi @Panchalidraupadi From what I observed, almost all the cases that end up at the SPI investigations had the blocked editors spinning up stories that I believe the reviewing admins have heard multiple times, just like this one as well. In a case where the user genuinely doesn't know that socking is not allowed and is blocked, they are asked to review the rules and state what they understood from the rules, and certainly not repeat them. Most such users do not do that and just create another accounts which at a later point in time would get caught and simply repeats the process again, while some just leave editing and move on to something else. To be unblocked after socking, they need to come clean about their intentions, from their original account, and state that they would not repeat socking. In such cases, admins would unblock them — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:02, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
@DaxServer:Thanks! Actually, I saw some senior editors who came clean on their Userpage that they did have other ids, and regret vandalizing, but do not use them anymore. Are such declarations of mistakes allowed without getting blocked? Assuming not all are same, editors would be scared to come clean even if their intentions were not bad when they created them. - (Panchalidraupadi (talk) 16:16, 1 October 2022 (UTC))
Yes @Panchalidraupadi Coming clean [with a regret [and full disclosure] to past actions [and swearing not to do that again]] would be the first step, followed by [probably] [in-depth] inspection of the edits by other editors. If in doubt, asking admins for help-when they don't understand something or don't know what to do-would make life easier for everyone involved. If the current intentions are good and align with that of WP's mission, they would be allowed to edit, but with great oversight by other admins/editors. But then again, admins are the ones who take the decisions over these.
Also, if there are legitimate alternate accounts, one needs to disclose them like how I did on my user page and those alternate account user pages — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:35, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

I was about to close this with a move. Despite the correctness of using the common name, I looked into other airport articles, and they are almost always at the official name. *shrugs* - UtherSRG (talk) 12:17, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

@UtherSRG I see, but I see that oppose rationale that the Chandigarh Airport is the current WP:COMMONNAME to hold. All the news articles are about the rename, since it's only a few days and thus the new name hasn't entered the common name era. Do you know of any such recent airport RMs? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 12:30, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
I don't. But I checked all the major airports I use (either in person or verbally) and they are all at the official name, with a note that the "colloquial name is X": Newark airport, LA Airport, LaGuardia airport, San Diego airport, etc. *shrugs* - UtherSRG (talk) 13:45, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Munich Airport isn’t at its official name. The references at the page are unfortunately quite appalling. Lots of primary sources and almost half of them are in German. Either way, do you want to start a move review and ratify if there’s a consensus on the observation you’ve made? — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 14:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

From its talk page it seems the page was moved around 2007 to the current title of Munich Airport. Thinking out loud, all the public utilities (like the public transit) are using Munich Airport on their boards. Side note, the same with München Hauptbahnhof, they using Munich Central Station. I’ve been thinking for some while to do some research into the English sources on how they refer to the railway station and put an RM.

Vandalism

The new editor User:Politics of Maharashtra is has same vandalised attitude as User: Shivsena Office Dadar and has vandalised pages Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) & Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena So I request to block this editor to stop him from vandalising further He had joined after 2 days of block of User: Shivsena Office Dadar and may be sockpuppet of [[User: Shivsena Office Dadar]He is sockpuppet of used term Sonia Sena[1] used by User: Shivsena Office Dadar and did the same vandalised edits as him Chennai Super Kings Lover (talk) 10:01, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

@Chennai Super Kings Lover: Sock puppets are reported at WP:SPI. The page has instructions on how to file a report. You will have to provide evidence in your report. Also, the edits from the user are not vandalism (see what vandalism means WP:VANDAL), some of them, like this one, are original research (WP:OR) - particularly synthesis (WP:SYNTH) - as the content added is not supported in the citations. Also, I'm not an admin, so I won't be able to block anyone. Hope this is helpful — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:21, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Question re: pending changes for Chandole

Hi Dax, hope you're doing well. I've been keeping an eye on the edits of a user who has been frequently editing the Chandole article with unsourced or poorly sourced references (that don't back up their claims) and have reverted a few of them, copyedited most out of existence. This seems to be the only non-draft article they are really working on and the edits are consistently less than stellar. I was thinking of requesting pending changes protection and perhaps a Teahouse for the editor's talk page. As a PCR, do you think this would be appropriate? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Kazamzam (talk) 13:07, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Kazamzam Hope you're well as well! Pending changes won't work as the user is autoconfirmed. I'd recommend posting on their talk page and ask them to add sources when adding content (along with user warning templates). If the user doesn't comply and continues to add unsourced content despite [several] request[s] / warning[s], perhaps the issue needs to be escalated to WP:ANI. Hope it helps — DaxServer (t · m · c) 13:51, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
Ah nuts, I thought the groups page said not autoconfirmed, that's why I asked (the dangers of editing without glasses). Will give a go in talking to them and keep my fingers crossed. Kazamzam (talk) 13:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Yoga International

Hi, I use the source quality script to alert me to possibly-flaky sources. YouTube helpfully comes up red, for instance, not to be used in normal circumstances. But Yoga International, a source we occasionally dip into when more obvious sources don't cover minor aspects, doesn't even get an amber (to be used with care).It obviously isn't an academic journal, but it does its job honestly and straightforwardly, and its use here is entirely removed from chat or gossip. Why are you summarily removing it? Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Chiswick Chap While they try to provide accurate information related to Yoga, their articles are primarily for SEO to drive more business referrals to their business and thus doesn't hold to our WP:RS standards. Do you disagree? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:54, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
I've no opinion on the matter; you seem to hold an extremely strong opinion for reasons which escape me. Some questions immediately spring to mind: 1) how do you know? 2) where in WP:RS does it proscribe this source, or indeed sources which have some invisible connection to SEO? I don't find the word "yoga" in that policy, nor "SEO", nor "Search Engine Optimisation" for that matter. I agree with you that the information is accurate; their motivation, being invisible, isn't something we can legislate for, unless there is hard evidence. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Order in reception section

Heya, I'm wondering about this edit, in which you say that "critical reception followed by box office". However, I see articles such as Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick, as well as FAs such as The Grand Budapest Hotel and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial do the opposite. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 10:52, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey @Krimuk2.0, there was a similar discussion at WT:MOSFILM recently Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Film#Alphabetical order of sections in this style guide. So if we were to look at how a film progress overtime during its life cycle, critic reviews often come by within days. BO is an ongoing event for several weeks [as long as its in theaters] and then comes awards [months later]. Chronologically, I think it would be better to represent in the same order.
It holds the same for Pathaan as the reviews came in in a day or two. (Surely international reviews could be coming in later, sometimes months later.) The BO is still on going and presumably for sometime as well (its just been a week so unless the movie is banned or something, it'll stay in cinemas).
Even tho The Grand Budapest Hotel and ET are FAs, I'd advocate for the critics->bo->accolades order [with any other relevant sections in between, of course, like an audience reception section in b/w critics and bo]. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 11:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Naming problems

Are last names needed when they are credited without the last name? A good deal of sources use their first name only.

For example why is Venkatesh's article named Venkatesh (actor) and not Daggubati Venkatesh? Bit confusing. DareshMohan (talk) 10:20, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@DareshMohan For Kartikeya, this is how I searched:
While there are articles which just refer to him as Kartikeya [9], [10], it seemed to me that his full name is used relatively more often. All these articles introduce him as Kartikeya Gummakonda and then use his first name for subsequent use. Lots of them have the surname in their title as well. "Kartikeya" and "Kartikeya actor" searches were difficult as they resulted in a wide variety of results. Last names are not always needed. Sometimes they are simply omitted. In the end, the titles are determined by Wikipedia:Article titles, Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people). In specific, WP:COMMONNAME, WP:NAMECHANGE, WP:STAGENAME are useful here. If majority of sources use one format, that'd be our title. If there's no consistency and no majority, then a local consensus in accordance to the policies above could determine the title. It would be the same for Venkatesh. (Altho I don't know which one - Venkatesh or Daggubati Venkatesh or Venkatesh Daggubati). It just needs some investigation to determine it. Same with Aadi. The Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) has quite some guidelines for these. Hope this is useful ;) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:39, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Sock strikes

Hi - while I have blocked both the sock and the master, we don't strike the master's !votes unless we can establish that they are themselves a sock of an older, already-blocked account. They are no longer welcome to vote, but votes they cast with that account prior to their block are legitimate. Hope that makes sense, best Girth Summit (blether) 18:33, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Ahh I see, thanks for the heads-up @Girth SummitDaxServer (t · m · c) 18:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
No worries. It's a bit bureaucratic, but essentially it boils down to whether the editor was allowed to express the opinion at the time that it was expressed, and in the manner in which they did it. If you're blocked on another account, then you have no right to express an opinion, and it should be removed. If you use a second account to add a second voice, that is invalid, and it should be removed. But if you express an opinion, and then come back with a sock to express it a second time, the current state of play is that your first voice still counts. I won't say whether or not I agree with that situation (...), but it's where we are at. Girth Summit (blether) 00:29, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@XYZ 250706 That's a WP:SOCKSTRIKE. If the sock's comment is the last one/unreplied one, then removing the comment is a general practise — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:26, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
@DaxServer But that user has commented from one account only, I guess. So what is the problem. XYZ 250706 (talk) 14:19, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Let me ping @Girth Summit for better advise on this — DaxServer (t · m · c) 14:28, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Hmm. Well, it's true that the main account had not yet been blocked at the time they cast that !vote, and they did not cast two !votes in the discussion, so one could argue that the !vote should be allowed to stand. On the other hand, if the !vote were to be reinstated, it should be made clear to the discussion closer that the account that cast it was an abusive sockpuppeteer who was making rapid fire low-quality votes at multiple discussions in an attempt to camouflage the fact that their actual goal was to get multiple !votes at discussions about articles they had written - which would end up in the !vote being discounted.

Script errors

Hi. I found your script due to some error sleuthing and I wanted to point out two problems

  1. You use "let storageKey = `ds-locked-user ${user}`" This generates endless amounts of keys that will never be removed, eventually filling up local storage. Please don't do this. Store all the data of all users into a json object that you serialize into the value of a single key. And please don't store too many users. limit to say 50 or so. LocalStorage space is limited and a hot commodity. It has to be shared by all the subdomains of wikimedia top level domains.
  2. All usage of localStorage can throw Exceptions, so you should always wrap any usage of it with try and catch, so you don't throw unhandled exceptions. When people load your code from their common.js, unhandled exceptions will stop execution of any other script they might be trying to load.

Please correct these problems, they might impact peoples experience of the entire website. —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 21:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hey @TheDJ Thanks for the report and detailed report. I've commented out localstorage for the time being. What kind of errors did it throw? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 22:27, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @DaxServer, how are you? On January 16, you reviewed the draft of Survivor (Israeli season 12), and it was declined due to lack of references. I would be happy if you could review it again, as I added two references. They are in Hebrew though, as there isn't recaps in English of the episodes.

@DaxServer User:Arjun Madathiparambil Muraleedharan has been warned by many editors for disruptive edits and removing page content. 3 days ago, I also warned him not to introduce wrong information in Communist Party of India.

XYZ 250706 (talk) 03:59, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @XYZ 250706 Their edits at CPI article are concerning. Re the new edit removing content, you can use the user warning template - "Removal of content without adequate explanation" - if you want to use a standard template.

Refbegin width parameter

Hello, I noticed that you removed the width parameter from {{refbegin}} in K-Meleon and several other articles like Gulf War. This parameter breaks lists into columns past a certain width. By default, {{reflist}} is set to 30em and {{refbegin}} is set to the content width. That parameter allows an editor to sync the width of each list. This is especially valuable for the percentage of editors still on the old skins where there is no maximum width for the content area. Check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War?useskin=vector#Bibliography and zoom out. You'll see that the references from {{reflist}} break into columns but the bibliography just stretches across the entire width of the screen.

If you feel that this is no longer a valuable choice for editors to have, either because the new default theme plus mobile are both fairly narrow, or for whatever other reason, it might be more productive to the raise issue at the template or somewhere upstream in Wikipedia. I expect that the parameter is currently used on a vast number of pages.

And unrelated to that template, thanks for the copy-editing work. Take care, Rjjiii (talk) 03:57, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Ah true, I thought refbegin also has a default of 30em. Thanks for the heads up @Rjjiii ;) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 07:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, DaxServer,

Thank you for reverting this bad page move. But in the future, please leave a redirect behind when you do so. Because there was no redirect, if you look here, you can see all of the broken redirects to this article. When a page is moved, Wikipedia bots change all of the redirects to point to the new target. If you move it back without leaving a redirect, those valid redirects are broken and might be deleted by another bot or an admin if they don't see what the problem is. If you leave a redirect, then the bots can change the redirects again to point back to the original page title. I've created a temporary redirect at Portal talk:Akhand Bharat so the bots can get to work and later this redirect can be deleted.

Thanks again for noticing this bad page move and reverting it. Liz Read! Talk! 01:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Why didnt you vote yes or no when i asked you to intervene? did u see the message sent by the other editor who closed the topic without consensus ? majority of votes were to keep the article. Unconstructive was the whole discussion including ur untimely deliberate negative intervention, when i Kindly requested you to intervene you dont find time. But you find time to accuse me. Why this much resistance from your side when some one ask u to intervene on afd's ?

Confusion regarding Pending film template

Whenever I insert the template into the table cell along with the upcoming film's name, the cell does not look how it is supposed to. All i see is this text without any cell coloring ( Example : |style="background: #FFD; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; " class="partial table-partial"|Film Name ).

Hello User @DaxServer, can you kindly explain in detail for why you have placed CE tag in Sindhis article? ⭐️ Starkex ⭐️ 📧 ✍️ 16:26, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Starkex The article needs some copy editing in grammar and cohesion, among others. It would recommend WP:GOCE for you — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 18:04, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
I agree with the case of CE and Citations but I find it irrational (bias?) that you removed Gallery Images of Notable people's section, If you understand what I mean then you should checkout Muhajirs (Pakistan) they also have Images in gallery section which you haven't objected too.
Thanks. Starkex (talk) 08:30, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Regarding Changes to ISRO page

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.



I have noticed you have raised a banner to remove content. The only content which has a similarity to any other website is the vision and mission of the ISRO page which came under ISRO#Management section. As this is an organization, I can only write the mission and vision of the above-mentioned organization in nearly the way, but I have tried to change it slightly from the original. if you feel like it is infringing content, you can remove it. There is no other infringing content remaining on the page, you can remove the banner.

The other point I need to mention is that Exploratory Mission should come under planetary sciences as it is the study of planets not just Earth. I have developed this page in a similar format as NASA, as I found it to be organized in a better format. On that page, you can see the Management section(which tells about the organization), coming before the History section.

misunderstanding of the use of "my" trademark Film/Video-Based Therapy

Hello Dax,

I wanted to discuss the recent dispute regarding the deletion of my academic works on Wikipedia. It seems there might be a misunderstanding about my trademark, which is not associated with any commercial activities or selling. These publications are solely academic works aimed at contributing to my field of expertise. Deleting them raises concerns about academic integrity and the accuracy of information on Wikipedia. I kindly request evidence supporting the claim that I am profiting from Wikipedia, as I am not receiving any financial gain from my contributions. I believe open communication and understanding are vital to resolving this matter in a way that upholds Wikipedia's principles and respects the academic nature of the content.

July 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Firstpost. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Editorkamran (talk) 02:33, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dax, thanks for your feedback.
The Screen Daily coverage and the Deadline coverage both seem to cover the written wiki guidelines for notability as both articles provide overview, description and commentary of the company:
"significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization."
There is also good L.A times coverage of one of the companies films, but the article doesn't mention the company itself so I thought that might not count.
There's also government documentation of the companies formation, again I didn't think that would be relevant. Demosthenes1999 (talk) 20:38, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Interesting script @TrangaBellam. I find the Twinkle approach to be rather cumbersome as it needs to be done twice to accept the AbuseFilter notice.

Related to the edits reverted on the page Hidutva

Dear daxserver,

I saw you reverted those edits and i shall request you to remove your reverts kindly. As I already mentioned in my edit summary that i removed them as they were misleading, they are. The reasons are follows:-

1. It says that hindutva follows an ideology of seperatism than I should tell you that it does Not. As it follows the ideology of merging countries in south and south eadt aisa but not seperatism and that is also unofficiallyamd officialy as the RSS have always opposed it you cant say that it is its ideology because RSS is the main leading itentity of hindutva.

2. It says that it is inspired by European fascism than I must tell you that it does not as the fascism has an ideology of "cultural domination" or we can say hating other cultutres but hindutva has a policy of "culutral pride" or you may interpret it that hindutva feels pride in its culture and "protects" it.

If you want to discuss more you may send ke in my talk page.

    The non-redirect merge (to transclude {{unreferenced|section}}) was first carried out at 18:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC) with this edit by Melsaran (talk · contribs) and reverted at 12:36, 8 September 2007 with this edit by Rich Farmbrough (talk · contribs). It was converted to use {{ambox}} at 20:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC) in this edit by Ms2ger (talk · contribs).
    It was again merged (to transclude {{unreferenced|section}}) at 08:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC) with this edit by MZMcBride (talk · contribs); undone at 18:05, 23 February 2009 (UTC) by Ruslik0 (talk · contribs); redone at 11:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC) by MSGJ (talk · contribs).
    It was de-merged again at 23:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC) with this edit by SilkTork (talk · contribs); and that edit was reverted at 12:28, 17 December 2012 with this edit by myself.
    Another de-merge occurred at 02:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC) with this edit by SMcCandlish (talk · contribs).
    A discussion in May 2016 at Template talk:Unreferenced section#Unreferenced section and Unreferenced did not change the situation.
    The next merge occurred at 14:39, 19 January 2017 (UTC) with this edit by Amakuru (talk · contribs) following this TfD (result: Revert {{Unreferenced section}} to previous version), and that is essentially the situation that we have today; although this relevant discussion resulted in no action.
    I notice that {{Unreferenced section}} has not been tagged for the present TfD, although {{unreferenced}} (which it transcludes) has been tagged. THerefore, since one already transcludes the other, there is nothing to merge. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:12, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
    That's a great research into its history and timeline; quite informative. Thanks @Redrose64. Do you think we should amend the TfD along with a note that you're in the process of posting while I was closing? (I don't mind if you go ahead and amend with the note, but I don't know how others would react to editing a "closed" discussion.) Alternatively, posting at the talk page of one or both of the templates would be more useful, as this will add good context for future reference — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 10:27, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
    I think the cleanest way would be for you to undo your close at the TfD page, without undoing any of the associated edits to templates and their talk pages, copy the bulk of my post above (from the first asterisk down to the signature, inclusive) and paste it at the bottom of the TfD text (with a link to this thread in your edit summary, for attribution purposes), and then you may re-close the TfD taking my post into account. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:40, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Timing of relisting

Hello DaxServer, I left a few comments regarding this on the discussions themselves when I noticed them, but I am not sure you have received them: please avoid relisting move discussions before the initial week of discussion has ever been completed. For example, Talk:WMTV (College of William & Mary) was relisted today about half a day earlier than should have been possible. There are a few reasons for this: the relisting may appear to be a finger on the scale, relisted discussions are supposed to be eligible for immediate closure at any time, etc. There is not really any harm in waiting for discussion periods to elapse. (In fact, while I don't think it's necessary to adhere to this, WP:RMRELIST assumes that relisting will happen to backlogged discussions rather than elapsed ones—that would imply already having 8 days of discussion.) Best, Dekimasuよ! 08:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Tambaram and Avadi as separate cities and not suburban areas

Both the above municipal towns which were considered suburbs of Chennai have been re-designated as City Corporations and several other town municipalities,town panchayats and village panchayats merged into them as wards.Instead of considering them suburbs,they can be considered as separate cities and the areas merged into them as neighbourhoods under the city corporation like in the case of Gurgaon,Thane,Navi Mumbai etc which are separate cities within an urban agglomeration.

I do not understand why my posting was denied

@DaxServer Hello, DaxServer, recently you denied my Wikipedia on the American Society of Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama. Please note that ASGPP is a national non-profit membership professional organization for people interested in the practice of psychodrama in many disciplinary fields -- very similar to the American Art Therapy Association, which already has an entry in Wikipedia and many other professional membership associations, such as the American Medical Association, the American Counseling Association, the American Group Psychotherapy Association, the National Association of Social Workers, the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, and on and on.

I do not gain any financial or other benefit by posting this information.

You mentioned adding additional information, but I do not understand what other kinds of specific information you are referring to since I have looked at these other pages for guidance. Thank you for any information you can provide. Psychodrama-trainer (talk) 18:27, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
