Your recent editing history at Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Re Editing on Wikipedia

Hi Supdiop, I'm quite happy to help you with editing....but it's pointless to just keep trying to force the changes you want. While anyone can edit Wikipedia, we are trying to maintain an encyclopaedic standard, so there are rules. I have responded to your comments on the talk page. btw, I watched some of the video, and even note in the comments people are stating the views in the video don't represent the group, that they are unscientific etc. This is one reason why sources have to be reliable. I hope that helps. Regards Danh108 (talk) 23:59, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@Danh108:Yes I realised it was not representing the true beliefs of BKs. I was new and I was not aware of Wikipedia's rules.looks like I replied too soon.lol
Thanks---Supdiop (talk) 18:39, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
@Supdiop: It could just be a language thing...but what you just wrote makes it sound like you were intentionally inserting information into an encyclopaedic article that you knew to be false ("was not representing the true beliefs of the BKs"). Please never do that. Regards Danh108 (talk) 19:24, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
@Danh108: No I didn't know that while editing it. I later realised it after reading articles on Internet. Also I was new to wikipedia so I didn't know much about reliability of sources and I kept adding the the same unreliable source.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bbb23 (talk) 04:35, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Stop icon This is your final warning. You may be blocked from editing without further notice the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to TV9 (Telugu). Amaury (talk) 07:26, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

I was trying to add some content to the page which is true.I don't know what wrong I did.I just said "tv9 is known for showing frauds of babas and countering superstitions with scientific explanations."

Supdiop (talk)

Supdiop, Wikipedia has rules for editing. Otherwise it wouldn't be an encyclopaedia - it would be a blog, or a newspaper etc which have a much lower standard of verifiability. If you just keep editing without meeting the required standards, it's hard to understand that you are here to genuinely contribute to Wikipedia. It may even appear you are here just to use up the time of the volunteers who make Wikipedia work, in which case as per the comments here, you may eventually get blocked. I would really encourage you to understand the editing rules and guidelines and participate in building a high quality online resource - you might really enjoy it :-). Best wishes Danh108 (talk) 15:55, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
When I started editing, someone pasted these summaries of policies and rules on my talk page....I still find them a really helpful reference. I hope you don't mind me sharing them here. Regards Danh108 (talk) 16:27, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Recent edits

Hi Supdiop, I had a couple of points:

1. In 1936 Pakistan didn't exist - the state was formed in 1947. The information you have inserted is not "more accurate".
2. You have inserted more content relying on a source you have already been advised is not considered sufficiently reliable.....the section does require improvement, and there is a draft you can view here. If you support this draft, please indicate on the talk page.

Cheers, Danh108 (talk) 19:34, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Reference errors on 11 April

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:31, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

You tagged this article for speedy deletion very quickly after its creation, which is generally considered somewhat bitey. (I say this from personal experience, having been the biter in my own past editing and having learned from other, more patient editors). I generally allow 15 or 20 minutes at least before tagging an empty article, as the editor (usually a new editor) may be working through the whole article creation process.

Speedy Deletion Tag

Wow. I am in the process of writing this article. I tagged it with "Stub" clearly indicating it is not done. Then you tagged it for deletion seven minutes after I first posted it.

On the assumption you are a "Good Faith" Wikipedian, and not a troll, let me advise you to please slow down. Let people have a chance to complete their work before pointing out how it is incomplete. It hurts no one to give them time to clean up their articles.

Nor is it bad to post an incomplete article. I have done that on purpose. It is amazing how often other authors will quickly add material, making my initial posting a group effort, and completing it better than I ever could.

I see several posts here above mine on the same topic. So I hope you take heed. Nick Beeson (talk) 12:21, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Shevi'i shel Pesach

Well, you promised a couple of items ago not to be so fast ... but this article got tagged about three minutes after I created it.

I created a placeholder solely for the purpose of establishing the Wikidata connection to the topic. The topic is notable; while it does not have its own article in this Wikipedia, it has full articles in French, Hebrew and Yiddish. And it does have a section of an article here (see Passover#Seventh day of Passover). Right now, Wikidata is not capable of including sections of articles in most cases, so one has to link to a redirect. But Wikidata is also not capable of linking to an active redirect, so you have to establish a placeholder first, create the Wikidata link, and then activate the redirect. It takes about five minutes.

It's good for you to be enthusiastic. It's not good for you to have been here less than two months and to act like you own the place. OK? StevenJ81 (talk) 20:32, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

And because I'm a nice guy and don't hold grudges, I marked your new user page as patrolled. StevenJ81 (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
@StevenJ81: I placed a tag because the article does not have any sources and it has no context. I didn't do anything wrong. Are you telling me I should not help Wikipedia because I am new?
Anyway, I said I will wait if the article is empty not if article doesn't have any context OK? Supdiop (talk) 20:57, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Actually ... not OK.
To elaborate: in principle, yes OK. If an article has been sitting there without any sources or context, your action would be entirely appropriate. But the discussion with WikiDan61 just above is relevant here, too. When the article has been there only three minutes, the author—me, or anyone else—is entitled to at least a little bit of latitude to finish his work.
Look, you must have known that the article was only three minutes old, because you have to have been monitoring new pages. And as far as it goes, my edit summary said "Placeholder", which certainly suggests I was planning to be back shortly.
I absolutely am not telling you that you should not help Wikipedia because you're new. But what I am telling you is that there are ways to do that which are widely considered polite, and other ways to do that which are widely considered rude and disruptive. And what you did was the latter.
I strongly welcome you, and encourage you to participate. But please try to do that politely, and please try to give people at least a few minutes to finish doing what they plan to do.
(Concerning new page patrol: consider patrolling from oldest to newest, not newest to oldest. Unless it is actually vandalism or a WP:BLP violation, letting a new article simmer for a few days is almost always a safe thing to do.) StevenJ81 (talk) 02:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
@StevenJ81: I actually don't know about placeholder and I thought your article was vandalism. yes I should take more time before adding tags. Thank you for your advice and I will take care of that from now on. Supdiop (talk) 05:03, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
I'll accept that. I trust that you will address the new complaints below in the same spirit.
I'd also recommend looking a little further at the policy on vandalism. Even something like the one sentence I temporarily parked at Shevi'i shel Pesach wasn't vandalism per se. It might have been superficial, trivial, and unsourced, and if I had left it there like that for a day it might have been worthy of deletion on a variety of grounds. But the sentence did have on-topic content, superficial as it was, so the presumption should not have been one of vandalism.
Pretty much the only justifiable reason to pull the trigger in less than about a day or two on a speedy delete request where the page contains only apparently legitimate, on-topic content, even unsourced, is where the "Biographies of Living Persons" policy comes into play. And even there, if the information feels remotely legitimate, you should give the author (or others) at least a few hours to get some work done.
Thank you for listening and taking my advice to heart. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:18, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Attention Please

Actually, I got wrong information about the topic 'Deshi MCs'. But now I know that better. So please remove the tag to delete so that I can edit that topic and say what's the important of that page.Thank You ABHBOSS (talk) 11:42, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of రామకృష్ణపురం చెరువు

Hello Supdiop,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged రామకృష్ణపురం చెరువు for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 15:34, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

AfD withdrawing

Once an AfD is submitted (except for a very short time after) it becomes difficult to just blank the entries. All sorts of Bots get excited. If you want to withdraw the nomination - which I think is what you intend - just say so on the nomination page. For that particular page I would not have gone the AfD route so quick - waiting a bit after tagging unreferenced would have been better.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:23, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I just created a page for Le Mystère de Anyap. It is my very first time creating a Wiki page, and will thus take some time for it to be done. As there was no indication of a time limit, i expected to be able to take my time to complete the page. It would be nice if i and other unsuspecting users could have much more time to work on our articles. Please and thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anyap123 (talkcontribs) 06:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

ಬಾಸೆಲ್‍ ಮಿಶನರಿಗಳ ತುಳು ಟಿಪ್ಪಣಿಗಳು

(Whatever that means...) I'm disagreeing with you about it being in Kannada. I think it's in Tulu, from the context of the Google (set to Kannada) 'translation'. Tulu uses the same script, so it's made a valiant try. At least, your identification gives the general picture of what it's about (and the price of the book...). 8-) Peridon (talk) 14:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

I used Google translate to know what language it was. Yeah it could be Tulu but it could also happen if the author didn't write Kannada properly. I always set google translation setting as 'detect language'. It showed the language was Kannada and then I changed tag to Kannada language. I think it is Kannada because author is likely to use Kannada keyboard because Tulu keyboard is rare or not available. Supdiop talk 14:50, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Tulu won't have its own keyboard because it uses the Kannada script (apart from in some monasteries who won't do much typing, probably...). Google would pick Kannada, because of the script and the presence of loan words. If you look at one sign in a town, and see that it says 'Parking' - are you in England or France? Or another one that says 'Garage' - where then? Parking is an English word, but it's used in France. Garage is French, but is used in England. Googling for sections of the text (without using quote marks) only comes up with this article - apart from about three words that appear in Kannada text hits. Kannada is a literary language - Tulu doesn't seem to be. It doesn't even have a Wikipedia, unlike Marshallese, Pontic and Norfolk. Peridon (talk) 15:16, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
@Peridon: Yes you are correct. It is not Kannada. I just looked at the edit history of the author and he was editing Tulu Wikipedia and even the translation of article text has Tulu word in it. When I first translated the text I didn't read the translation I just looked what language it was. Thank you Supdiop talk 15:25, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
No problems. I'd never heard of Tulu before this - but I tend to be an instant expert (that's a polite way of saying 'bloody nuisance'...). That's part of what Wikipedia is for - enabling people to be instant experts. (The other part is keeping those of us who work on it from getting bored.) Treat things like this as a detective job - get evidence that will help to produce a conviction or an acquittal - examine the cigarette end and the match stick, look if the ground under the wet body is dry and so on. Always read the translation - you can often get a CSD for spam that way - and Google a bit of it in quote marks, which can find you a copyvio. It's a long while since I've looked up a language with so few hits on Google. I find that I've prodded another of his efforts previously and he's been continually warned about posting in Foreign (and had a short block too), I've added his talk page to my watchlist, and may have to take action if he goes on.

MOM image of Mars atmosphere

Supdiop, I'm sorry, but I've speedy deleted File:Martian atmosphere photographed by Mars Orbiter Mission Spacecraft.jpg. You stated that Twitter's policy meant the image was automatically in the public domain, but there are two concepts of public domain. One definition simply means an object is accessible by anyone...this is what Twitter is referring to. The other definition means that the work has been completely released from copyright, meaning the object is freely usable by anyone. This latter definition relates to how Wikipedia and Commons deal with licensing. In short, please don't confuse an image's existence on the Internet with it being in the public domain license-wise. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Huntster (t @ c) 03:11, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Why would you do that? RENs all over the world have Wikipedia Articles. RENS are very important and notable the world over. Perhaps take a look at this and let me know if you still think its not notable: National research and education network Mpmayenge (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:11, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

You need to provide references to the articles, otherwise they will be deleted from wikipedia. If you add multiple reliable sources then we can know that it is notable and eligible for an article for itself on wikipedia. Next time you add an article, remember to add multiple sources. Supdiop talk 13:22, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
I Clearly marked it as a Stub and cross referenced to an internal Wikipedia list of all RENS. And I offered a reference to its primary website. What more do you mean or need?

Please undelete the article Mpmayenge (talk) 13:32, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:Verifiability. Wikipedia does not consider primary source as reliable source. Only independent sources are generally considered reliable. You can add news, books etc as sources. See identifing reliable sources
I can't undelete it. You can ask the administrator who deleted it if you still want to.
Supdiop talk 13:42, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) @Mpmayenge: Primary sources can be used in rare instances, but they must supplement existing reliable, independent (third-party) sources. In the future, if you are creating an article, you should concentrate on finding reliable, independent sources first. The primary sources (like personal blogs or official company websites) can be added later. wia (talk) 03:05, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

@Wikiisawesome: The reason I gave you a Barnstar is that you do lot of tireless editing and reverting vandalism. I saw your edits and I was really amazed. do you mind if I ask a small question? I also want to remove vandalism and unconstructive edits. How do you find that many unconstructive edits? do you continually search articles or have a lots of pages in watchlist?
and I really appreciate your help to my article. thanksSupdiop (talk) 23:24, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
For me, editing is a lot of fun and so I enjoy reverting vandalism wherever I can find it. One easy way to look for vandalism is to manually watch the "Recent changes" page. (There's a link to it on the left-hand side of your Wikipedia page, under "Interaction".) Basically, you look through each edit and if you see one that is vandalism, you can undo it. I will say that this is a slow, time-consuming method, and you probably won't spot too much vandalism that way. Once you get more advanced, there are some very efficient semi-automated tools you can install that will help you revert vandalism and automatically warn the user on their talk page. However, they typically require special permissions to use.
Before getting involved in anti-vandalism work, I would strongly recommend reading the following document first: WP:VANDAL explains exactly what vandalism is, how to spot it, and what to do when you see it. Basically, you have to be very certain that what you're reverting is actually vandalism, or else you could cause an edit war, which can result in being blocked from Wikipedia for a period of time. (Edit: I should note that if you are reverting obvious vandalism, the three-revert rule does not apply. But you have to be very careful that what you're reverting is actually vandalism, as mentioned.) I took a look through your talk page history and noticed that you might have been involved in an edit war previously, so it's a good idea to be mindful of the rules and policies if you decide to get involved in counter-vandalism work.
A very good place to get started is the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy. There are trainers there who can "adopt" you to teach you about how to fight vandalism. I'm happy to help out too in any way I can. Just remember to keep your wits about you; don't get caught up in the heat of the moment and get involved in an edit war! wia (talk) 23:40, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

My article should be deleted. Wikipedia is already having it! It is only these spelling issue which made me overlook it. I should have done due diligence. I agree with your observations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumir Sharma (talkcontribs) 11:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

MY talk page

Unless wiki has changed it guidelines yet again, I don't see the issue is with removing messages from MY talk page. Ironically, you evidently had no concern when an editor made a huge removal from a good article without discussion, my reversal of which evidently was a good deed which couldn't go unpunished.

You are trying to hide a warning and also you are violating wikipedia talk page rules. See Talk page rules Supdiop (talk) 01:34, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
I see nothing in there that says this is a violation of rules. Talk page notices may be removed from a user's page

Weekly Shounen Magazine spelling

I see that you have been fixing "Weekly Shounen Magazine" to "Weekly Shonen Magazine", however the correct spelling is actually "Weekly Shōnen Magazine". If you can go back and fix these, that would be helpful. —Farix (t | c) 21:50, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Brodie Buchanan is Sad: Activision squashes rumors of Sony buying Crash Bandicoot IP

Hi there. This is Brodie Buchanan. Is very bad news: Activision squashes rumors of Sony buying Crash Bandicoot IP. That's my fault, everyone.

That's says:

"Last week a few enterprising Redditors noted that the Crash Bandicoot website that has been up for ages was taken down, along with any mention of the series from Activision’s various websites. This led many people to believe that Sony has purchased the IP from Activision in a deal that had not yet been announced, especially since when contacted about it Activision issued the typical “no comment.”

Activision finally gave a more concrete answer to Game Informer, squashing rumors that Sony had bought Crash Bandicoot and planned on bringing the character home to PlayStation consoles.


Activision owns Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life.

Knowing Activision, we’ll see Crash Bandicoot incorporated into Skylanders sooner or later. While this is a bummer for people hoping to see a new Crash Bandicoot game exclusive to Sony consoles, perhaps Activision will treat the IP right when it finally does get around to using it.

Would you like to see a new Crash Bandicoot game made by Activision."

Sometimes, Activision owns Crash Bandicoot forever. --121.218.62.210 (talk) 06:25, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Hypericon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypericon Hello Sudipop. You are wrong (sorry, but its true). I used a reference page which pointed out the new data. Please reverse your changes. You currently have LAST YEARS data up. I moved to change the "updated" data to old data(Hypericon 9) and moved to update the new guest list and data from Hypericon 10 [1] Also, please note the "Official" page website is the WRONG webpage. It has NOTHING do to with the Convention. I have included the correct webpage for your confirmation. I am working with the Convention administrators and need to you confirm you have put back what I have changed. Thank you. -Theresa aka SmarmySnodsnick

You should have looked at my next edit before warning me. — Supdiop talk 15:31, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
That edit conflict aside, you have still restored an inaccurate organization name twice and not yet self-reverted. 2600:1006:B154:7E0A:B945:D20A:9451:85D (talk) 15:37, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Can you explain this edit? That edit is considered vandalism. You may have made good edit in the previous edit but if I click rollback, your good edit will also be reverted. As soon as I realised that good edit is also reverted I restored it. — Supdiop talk 15:44, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Can I explain that edit? Sure. It was a reversion of - I wouldn't call it vandalism, but maybe the insertion of grossly inaccurate information - by the previous first-time editor. As is apparent to anybody who bothers to either read the article's lead or look at the organization's web site. Can you explain your edits repeating the error? 2600:1006:B154:7E0A:B945:D20A:9451:85D (talk) 15:54, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
"United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund" is the full form of of UNICEF, everybody knows that, but why are thinking that "United Nations Children's Fund" is the correct full form? — Supdiop talk 16:06, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Uh, no. The "everybody" you claim to speak for believes something incorrectly and confuses that belief with knowledge. Again, as clearly stated in the lead and supported by citation [3], the shorter version of the name was officially adopted 62 years ago, in 1953. That really should be enough time to become widely known. 2600:1006:B154:7E0A:B945:D20A:9451:85D (talk) 16:48, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Your edit summary was "revert possible reading comprehension failure", that was not a valid reason to change the name. You should have said something like 'they changed their name 62 years ago' or 'they changed their name'. You didnt say that until your last two edits. My internet got disconnected, so i had to wait till my sevice provider repairs it. Thats why i took so long time to reply. thank you — Supdiop talk 09:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Recent edit to Gondi people

Hi. Not sure why you made that revert... seems to be appropriate that the title in the infobox equals the title of the article. I went back over the history, and can't find when this change was made to the infobox. Am I missing something? Thank you! Onel5969 (talk) 13:36, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

@Onel5969: sorry that was my mistake. I am using an old phone, it has some problems. Thanks for letting me know this. I was patrolling recent changes, probably i clicked rollback. That was unintentional. My internet will get repaired in 3 days until then i will not edit. — Supdioptalk

I couldn't stay away!

Hey Supdiop, I saw your message and had it open in another tab but didn't answer in time! My offline life has been rather stressful the past few months, culminating in a lot of things happening at once in late April. But as you can see, I just couldn't stay away from Wikipedia! I'm glad to see you're still editing and I hope you're still enjoying the counter-vandalism work. If you ever get bored of it, there's always stuff to do! One project I like to help out with from time to time is the Red Link Recovery Project. Helps get rid of those pesky red links in places they shouldn't be, and I think it's a fairly underappreciated task. Nice to see you involved at the disambiguation challenge too! /wia /talk 23:51, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

@Wikiisawesome: I am enjoying anti vandalism work. Now I can't even think of leaving wikipedia. I can say you really inspired me. I learned a lot from you. I worked on red link recovery project a few weeks ago but I got bored. Yes, there is always something to do on wikipedia. I don't think I will get bored with anti vandalism work anytime soon because I find it very entertaining. I tried huggle few days ago but I feel that old school method is very comfortable. I have to wait another 10 days to become eligible for working in AFC. I hope I can help review articles in AFC soon. As always you are doing great work in AFC and also strong anti vandalism work.— Supdiop talk 01:02, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
@Supdiop: I enjoy Huggle but I find it is very easy to make mistakes when using it. Twinkle's a bit slower but also much safer! I hope you do join the AFC project too—the backlog has been growing substantially as of late. When you hit the 90-day eligibility, let me know and I can try to give you a few pointers that I've found useful when reviewing. /wia /talk 01:13, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
@Wikiisawesome: Thanks! I will let you know after ten days. I already read afc guidelines two times in preparation. Your points will definitely help me know more about reviewing process. — Supdiop talk 01:32, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
@Supdiop: I am working on an essay about AFC reviewing. You can find it at User:Wikiisawesome/So you want to be an AFC reviewer. It's very much a work in progress, I'm nowhere near done it, and the content I have included so far is pretty basic, but I hope you find it helpful. /wia /talk 01:52, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
@Wikiisawesome: I really appreciate you for writing the essay. It is always good to take advice from more experienced users. I think that essay will definitely help me with reviewing. I bookmarked your essay and I will read it again after you complete the essay. Thank you - Supdiop talk 07:13, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

can products and their descriptions not be here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.134.197.46 (talk) 20:11, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

yes, disambiguation page can have products but only if there is a article about them on wikipedia. There is no reason to keep a product in disambiguation page when it doesn't have a article about it. Also your edit looks like an advertisement, wikipedia cannot be used for advertising products. — Supdiop talk 20:24, 11 May 2015 (UTC)


you removed my post regarding a companies product. i put our companies description in, then yes i agree the first post looked like an ad. so i re formatted the wording and gave a description of the flavor profile. you still mentioned that it was advertising. well if you search for big mac i has its own page. a big mac is a product just like the product you claim i cannot put on here. in fact big mac has its own page. i was just making an edit.... so what you are saying is that in order to make my product i have to create its own page?? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.134.197.46 (talk) 20:30, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing is strongly discouraged on wikipedia. Your product does not have an article. Disambiguation page is for list of articles with similar name but different meanings. You need to link to the article in disambiguation page. Since you don't have an article about it, there is no reason/use in adding it. If you have an article about it, you can add it to the disambiguation page. — Supdiop talk 20:58, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Greetings

I respect your work, I was an employee who worked under him(though we never had direct contact, I was working way under) and may have a biased opinion. I respect the fact that you're trying to maintain a neutrality of opinion, but all I'm trying to say is that he has an image of "x" nature not that he is possessing "x" characteristics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.89.0.249 (talk) 00:10, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

You added that "Jaipal Singh has a very clean and honest image in a bureaucracy that's otherwise seen as corrupt and degenerate, he's widely admired by people for the same" and also it is unsourced . Your edit seems like you implied that he actually had a clean and honest image. You need to provide reliable sources to add that kind of material to biographies. - Supdiop talk 00:30, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit comments

Hi Supdiop,

The reason I didn't use the talk page immediately was I could concisely express the reason for reverting clearly in the edit summary. On the other hand, the edit summaries you left are rather extensive and maybe would have been better to express on a talk page.

Also please assume good faith. Saying, "You shouldn't be editing the article without any discussion on talk page" comes across as kind of aggressive. I honestly thought my edit wasn't controversial and that you would understand why. Obviously I was wrong but please lets be kind to each other :)

If you do have any issues with something I said or did in future then please feel free to post on my personal talk page rather than use the edit summaries or talk page of the article.

Best wishes, Bksimonb (talk) 07:35, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bksimonb, I was just reminding you that you should first consult talk page before directly editing article because you have coi, please don't see it as aggressiveness.
I should have used talk page instead of writing two long edit summaries though.
I saw your post on talk page. I will reply soon. - Supdiop talk 08:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Yes, I did feel a bit uneasy about making the edit given the COI. I found if I follow the COI guidelines too rigorously then no one responds and nothing gets done, as was the case with the recent RFC I raised. So sometimes I find it useful to be a bit bold just to start a dialogue, but obviously I then mustn't push any issue beyond one edit on the affected article without seeking agreement and, if necessary, outside consensus.
Best wishes Bksimonb (talk) 08:54, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you edit it and do it correctly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kamal_Fudda_Entertainment

Hi 42.201.247.243, It's not about editing, it's about notability, subject does not have enough notability to have an article on Wikipedia. I've searched on Google and only unreliable sources came up. Notability is not inherited. Notability of owner has no effect on notability of company, company itself has to be notable. Since you have resubmitted the draft, let's see what another reviewer says. Thank you. - Supdiop talk 01:31, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Supdiop, I'm new to Wikipedia as a contributor. So please help me in to publish my company page.

I am sorry, it can't be moved to mainspace until there are several reliable, independent sources. Companies must meet notability guidelines to have an article on wikipedia.

@Mmonfried: I think it needs more references to show notability. Remember, primary sources are not considered reliable. After searching on web, I think the company is notable enough to have an article. You need to add as many reliable sources as possible to the draft and submit it again.

Bots


You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:04, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

I did explain why I deleted that content.

If you looked at the discussion page you would have seen my explanation. The information is false and slanderous. It needs to be removed immediately. It's extremely shocking that you'd put this in the article. I've never seen anything this shockingly bad on Wikipedia before. I'll give it a little time because I'm assuming this is a mistake on someone's part, but after a while I'm going to have to report this.

"The group's website was cited in the manifesto of accused mass murderer Dylann Roof as awakening him to what he perceived as media bias in the reporting of racial murders.[1]"

You cannot do this. The "manifesto" didn't say the group's website was any sort of awakening. That's completely false and irresponsible. Whoever did this needs to be corrected. The "manifesto" cites the Trayvon Martin case as his "awakening".24.12.6.25 (talk) 01:01, 22 June 2015 (UTC) 1.Jump up ^ "The Last Rhodesian".

You explained it on talk page after I restored the content, you should have discussed the change on talk page before removing the sourced content from the controversial article. Some people have replied to you on that talk page and now the wording has been changed. If you still disagree with the contents, you can discuss it on the article's talk page.

04:14:36, 28 June 2015 review of submission by Jmlibbra


My article has been rejected a couple of times for insufficient references. Can you (the reviewer) see the links to the sources I provided. Wondering if I submitted them improperly and you cannot see them.

Thanks - Joe Libbra

Jmlibbra (talk) 04:14, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

@Jmlibbra: It still needs more references. Products should be notable, that means they should have significant coverage in media, to have an article. From all references you added, only two will count as sources because one is dead and other are primary sources. Thank you and sorry for the late reply. Supdiop (talk) 12:15, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Explanation against the sock-puppetry investigation

Hi Supdiop,

I am new to Wikipedia and was figuring out how to create a page on the site. The information was added to the page from my account and some during a logged out session. There were also multiple edits in the information during a logged out session (while I was figuring out how to add reference links on the page). I understand the importance of relevancy of information on Wikipedia, and apologize for violating any terms and conditions, although unintendedly. Please take or advise the necessary steps to resolve the issue, if any needed. Here is the link for the investigation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/SnehaSharma.One

In future, I will act in accordance of Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks SnehaSharma.One (talk) 07:27, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

@SnehaSharma.One: Editing while logged out to make problematic edits is considered sockpuppetry. You removed speedy deletion templates even after you were warned not to. According to spi clerk, your IP will be blocked for a day and you will get a warning. It is still a violation of policy even if you don't know. I suggest you to read policies and guidelines of wikipedia. You wrote a biography which did not have any reliable sources. User generated sources are not reliable including wikipedia. You should try to add independently published sources. Everything in a biography should have a source, if not, unsourced material will be removed immediately.

Regarding List of ISRO missions

This is with regard to the article List of ISRO missions which you have created. No offence but I find it quite similar to the article List of Indian satellites and this section of the ISRO article. So if you could please explain the merits of keeping the article you created, it would be helpful. Thank You. - Jayadevp13 06:14, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

I think that it looks similar but is quite different. A person who wants to see the list of missions, should be able to find a complete list in one place, not from two different articles. List of Indian satellites is only for satellites not for missions other than satellites but in this article we can include all types of missions. I think the Future projects section in ISRO article should be rewritten to include only paragraph(s) that briefly explain what ISRO is planning to do in future. A person will easily find this article because I created many redirects like ISRO missions and Space missions of India. And also a person looking for missions will search for list of missions not for list of satellites. These are the merits and I can't think of any disadvantages. Thank you (Supdiop🔹Talk🔹Contribs) 08:04, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Ok. Then you better go ahead and make the required changes to the ISRO page. Regards and continue your good work. - Jayadevp13 03:55, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

List of Rollbackers

Are you doing this manually 500 at a time? Here's the complete list using the method PrimeHunter suggested at the Helpdesk. - NQ (talk) 02:08, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I didn't do it manually, I used these tools. I didn't see the PrimeHunter's comment until now. I was too immersed in doing other things. Thanks for making the list. I would have continued to do 500 at a time if you didn't comment on my talk page. Supdiop (Talk🔹Contribs) 02:35, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, have you made your script available yet? I couldn't see it here, cheers Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jimfbleak, I added it to the list. Supdiop (Talk🔹Contribs) 18:16, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Supdiop, I would advise against adding the script to the main page at this time. The list of users with rollback rights changes quite frequently and since you plan on updating this list manually, it is quite impossible to maintain the accuracy of the list at any given time. Amalthea has their own bot that does this for them. You'd probably need an automated script that does an api query like https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&augroup=rollbacker&aulimit=500&format=jsonfm&rawcontinue, converts it into the desired format and updates the list everyday. (From what I understand, max results for an api query is 500 for regular users and 5000 for admins/bots.) Also, since you are essentially using Amalthea's script, there is a matter of attribution/license - I don't know much about this, PrimeHunter or Redrose64 might be able to tell you more. - NQ (talk) 00:43, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
I will decide what to do in couple of days. I am looking for a script which will update the list. I also did some experiments with API. I think there is no problem with attribution because I mentioned the page, where script was originally taken from, in my script's page. Supdiop (Talk🔹Contribs) 07:37, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
When I need a list of rollbackers - which isn't often - I click Special pages in the left sidebar, where under the heading "Users and rights" is a link Users. In that, there's a selection list named "Group" from which I select "Rollbackers" and click Go, which produces this list, which is always up to date. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:44, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Redrose64, the 'list' I was referring to, is this. There is a script which highlights admins, I recently modified it to highlight rollbackers. Since the list changes very often, it is hard to manually update the list. I don't know how to update the list automatically everyday. Is there any way to update the list automatically other than setting up a bot? You can find another relevant discussion here and this is the new script. Thank you Supdiop (Talk🔹Contribs) 11:35, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
NQ, I have removed it. --Supdiop (Talk🔹Contribs) 14:30, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Use of templates

Hi Sudiop,

I am puzzled as to why you placed a COI warning template on my user page. It is not necessary because I have already declared a conflict of interest and I am also not a new editor who needs an explanation of the policy.

If it is related to the edit that you yourself made to the Brahma Kumaris article then you must understand that I did not create the content you appear to be objecting to and that templates are not to be used pre-emptively to discourage another editor from responding, if that was the idea.

If you feel the edit you made may be controversial, I suggest discussing it on the talk page of the article first. If you are editing tendentiously then that places you in a worse position than an editor who simply has a conflict of interest and you should definitely refrain from editing subjects about which you have strong feelings and are likely to make biased edits.

Regards, Bksimonb (talk) 04:33, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

@Bksimonb: I placed the coi template because you are editing the article. You should first discuss the edits on talk page. I wanted to remind you that's all. Actually, it is a notice not warning Supdiop (T🔹C) 05:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi. We appreciate your enthusiasm but while creating your RfA page you appear not to have noticed the very obvious warnings or to have read any of the instructions or advice pages. Before continuing, please read WP:RFAADVICE. It is almost certain that your request for adminship will not be approved by the community at this time. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:20, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

I have read the advice pages and went ahead for requesting adminship. Thank you Supdiop (T🔹C) 10:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Supdiop, don't edit war over this. You'll just end up getting blocked. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 11:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  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; 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. Softlavender (talk) 11:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Supdiop, you are really gunning for a block or an ANI at this point. A simple review of your logs reveals that nearly every single new article that you marked as "reviewed" has been deleted. There is something seriously amiss with your activities on Wikipedia, and unless you want to invite further scrutiny into them, I'd back off now. This is just friendly advice. Cheers, Softlavender (talk) 11:55, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Twinkle automatically reviews articles when I add speedy tag. That shows how good I am at tagging articles. Supdiop (T🔹C) 11:57, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
OK thanks for explaining that. Nevertheless, you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of becoming an admin right now or anytime soon, so unless you want to add a block to your account, please cease posting an RfA and/or posting threats on my Talk page. Softlavender (talk) 12:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Well this is interesting, but I'll let an admin take it from here. Softlavender (talk) 12:07, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

You are also edit warring. Supdiop (T🔹C) 12:11, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
  • There is absolutely zero chance that this RfA will pass; if you don't want to be blocked, stop pretentiously saying how computer software loves your tagging and start realizing that you were edit-warring and casting personal attacks. Esquivalience t 14:40, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Hey folks, please drop the stick here. I don't know how Kudpung feels at this point, but none of you should forcibly remove the RfA if Supdiop clearly objects to it. WP:NOTNOW, which is an essay not policy, states: "If you do not accept that the early closure was a good thing please ask the editor who closed it to reverse their actions. In general, assuming a good faith nomination or self-nomination, if a candidate wishes the RfA to run for the full time then this is acceptable." (bolding omitted) Mostly NOTNOW is set up for the candidate's comfort, not the community's. In any event, to accuse Supdiop of edit-warring simply because they insist on going through with the RfA is, in my view, wrongheaded.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
  • This still falls under WP:SNOW, and the candidate is refusing to realize that this is WP:SNOWed. It wouldn't be appropriate to immediately reopen a proper SNOW closure of any other discussion, so it applies to RfAs as well. Esquivalience t 14:53, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
  • The RfA hasn't been snow closed (as of this point in time). If an experienced user wants to close the RfA, then they can do so, but that has not happened yet and therefore the candidate's behaviour is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. This is what puts people off RfA. The user has thousands of edits and months of activity; it's probably not enough for me to support, but it's enough for me to refrain from harassing the user by reverting their legitimate transclusion twice and then accusing them of edit warring. I intend no offense to Softlavender, who I'm sure has the best of intentions. But NOTNOWs and removing newbies' transclusions is designed to reduce humiliation and drama, which is clearly not happening here. Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 15:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I said mostly what had to when I started this thread. IMO it's possible user has sufficient edits to demand to go through the process if he really wants to but by today's standards it will certainly not pass, it will be wasting his and everyone else's time.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for vandalism and other disruptive editing, including disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. A temporary block is necessary to prevent further damage to this project. That your RfA did not go the way you had hoped is no excuse to engage in such conduct, as I am sure you are quite aware. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

  • I would much rather that you simply reflected on your situation – realised that not succeeding at RfA the first time round is, ultimately, very poor justification for throwing away a promising Wiki-career – than have to be blocked indefinitely. That is why I have disregarded the above and instead removed your talk page access for the next 31 hours. Please use the time to think things through. Sincerely, SuperMarioMan ( talk ) 19:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Ummm....

I hope you realize that your behavior following your failed RfA means that you have zero chance of ever becoming an admin in the future. Your obvious lack of maturity and inability to deal with being rejected at RfA will almost certainly follow you throughout your Wikipedia career. I have no particular problem with that, as I don't support the appointment of clearly immature admins, but you might take it into account as a life lesson applicable outside of Wikipedia. I suggest you do. BMK (talk) 10:47, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Wikiisawesome I am sorry. I did not follow your advice. Supdiop (T🔹C)

  • @Supdiop: I hope you do not throw your Wikipedia career away. It is a fun place to contribute to the best encyclopedia the world has ever seen. Sometimes things can get one down, and we all need breaks now and then—heck, I took a three-month one this summer. I hope you use this brief block time to take a deep breath and reassess things. For me, the joy in Wikipedia has always been in making it a better place, no matter how small and incremental that change. Rollback privileges and admin mops are fun, but really they're just keys that unlock different parts of Wikipedia, and there's always plenty to do here without needing those particular keys. At the end of the day, it's not about putting the {{User wikipedia/Administrator}} template on your user page; it's about making high-quality information more easily accessible around the world..
So please don't be discouraged about the RfA. Take some time off and come back when you feel a bit better. If you need to talk about things, you're welcome to email me. /wia /talk 23:22, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

That revdeled account is not me. That is another person impersonating me. I said it before, its not about the rfa. I knew it would fail. I ran for rfa because I was bored and addicted to Wikipedia. I just wanted to know how editors feel about me before leaving. Wikipedia is effecting my real life. I decided to leave wikipedia about a week ago. I decided to run for rfa minutes before creating the rfa page. I know everyone thinks I am an asshole, yes, I am an asshole for running for rfa, even after I knew I would fail and editwaring to transclude my rfa on main page to get more hate. All my hard work was taken away by notnow This is my last comment. Wikipedia loses nothing and everything will be same. :) Supdiop (T🔹C)

  • I have to say that I too am disappointed by this immaturity. You were a promising editor and would have likely passed RFA in six months had you simply withdrawn and taken the advice of other editors. Now, it will sadly be some years (I would say two or three, at least) before you will be able to pass. It isn't too late to turn around and become a constructive editor again; your block should expire later today. Ultimately the choice is yours, but please consider returning once your block is over. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 18:33, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Regarding my question

I can't just give a flat answer in case I use a similar question in the future, but some things to consider about the situation:

  • What had the tendentious single purpose account done to earn the block?
  • In what ways does WP:3RR apply to a user's own talk page? Is there any part of WP:TALK that would seem to run against WP:3RR?
  • Are upstanding editors (even editors beloved by the site) exempt from rules such as WP:No personal attacks?
  • If an actionable report is filed in the wrong place, should it be ignored?

Ian.thomson (talk) 13:21, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Ian.thomson Is my answer satisfactory? I should have warned Jimbo Wales, except that, I think I got it right.
I'll put it this way: your answer did not get my support. The questions I asked just will help you figure out why. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Ian.thomson, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. –Davey2010Talk 15:39, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

  • I'll make it short & sweet - Your comment on Ians RFA [2] doesn't really belong in General comments section nor If I'm honest any where else there, If you wanna !vote then please do so with a valid reason, It should go without saying reverting everyone will probably see you reblocked so I really would stop if I were you. Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 15:42, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

  • That kind of comment belongs with your support vote, not at the head of the section. --NeilN talk to me 16:33, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
NeilN Why? It is a general comment. Supdiop (T🔹C) 16:42, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
It reads like a support vote. And, bluntly, it's a lot more about you than Ian. --NeilN talk to me 16:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Your comment doesn't belong in the General comments section, Add it back and I will honestly have you blocked, It's disruptive editing and you've been told 3 times now to stop!, If you wanna turn it in to a support !vote then please do but it cannot be in the general comments section, Consider this your last warning. –Davey2010Talk 17:11, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
😱 Supdiop (T🔹C) 17:27, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Please don't threaten me. Please. I want to give Ian some advice. Supdiop (T🔹C) 17:33, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
The comment is also being removed to stop you from embarrassing yourself. Please let it go. --NeilN talk to me 17:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Ok, now you are being disruptive. What do you mean "cuz i am very good person"? Please focus your attention elsewhere. - NQ-Alt (talk) 18:16, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I second the above. Supdiop, for the sake of everyone involved, would you please just leave that RfA page alone? I'm in half a mind to block you again right now. Consider this a final warning for disruptive editing. SuperMarioMan ( talk ) 18:36, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Sorry SuperMarioMan, I will not edit that rfa again. Supdiop (T🔹C) 18:40, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Forget that RFA, forget your RFA, forget RFA, just move on and do what you were doing before all this started. --NeilN talk to me 03:06, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Something you might like

Hi there. I thought you might like to start a few articles. It could be a nice way to get all this out of your head. The best thing we can do here is make good content in articles.

Also, nobody will post at your talk concerning mistakes or this or that. It is just a good way to get some real solid work done. I think you'll like it. :)

Let me know if you need help. I'm right here. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Please drop it

Supdiop, Irrespective of the merits of using notnow, a close was done applying common sense. We can have endless arguments on whether NOTNOW should have applied or not, but that contributes nothing to the building of the encyclopaedia. At this point, you are just causing yourself more stress and creating needless drama, these are obviously factors that will work against you in your interaction with others. Maybe you want to go for an RfA again, maybe you don't, but dropping the stick here and focusing on some work that will benefit the encyclopaedia as you were doing prior to the RfA will be helpful, most of all to you. I suggest you just leave this alone now. —SpacemanSpiff 03:30, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Heyo Supdiop, you have been stretching the issue of your failed RfA way too much and continuing it might end up in you getting blocked. Davey, Neil, Anna, Spaceman and all the editors advising you to stop have been around long enough to know how all this works. They have given you the perfect advice on how to handle this and I suggest, from my own experience, trust those respected editors and just drop this. You are just making the situation worse and your behavior has been reflected poorly on you. Trust what others have been saying and follow their words. That's the best you can do right now. Also, have a look at this essay; it will be helpful. Regards, Yash! 05:48, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
drop it

I will try once again and I will leave it. Once last time. I want justice Supdiop (T🔹C) 09:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I have to recommend against doing that. There's a chance you might end up blocked for disrupting the site, and even if you don't (or it's only temporary), it will add several years to the time it will take to make people think you're ready to be an admin. You are correct that WP:NOTNOW is not about how much time one has been on the site, but it does very much have to do with one's behavior, and trying again would only justify the WP:NOTNOW votes. Ian.thomson (talk) 09:37, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
At least let me discuss with people about it. What I meant by try again is that I will try to discuss with people about it again, not run for adminship again. Supdiop (T🔹C) 09:56, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Come on User:Ched, Why? Supdiop (T🔹C) 10:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict)What do you possibly expect to yield from those discussions? I don't see those discussions going anywhere, because there's no point in doing that. It will only waste the time of the community and will get you blocked. Some editors thought it applied, some thought it didn't. End of the story. We can argue if notnow applied or not forever but we aren't on this site to do that, are we? We are here to improve the site in whichever ways possible. Discussing this any further will do absolutely no good because this comes down to the personal opinions of editors which you can't change and that is why you it should be left where it is. Relax Supdiop, take a break, calm yourself down, then edit. Take some days off, freshen up, start thinking clearly, then return. Best, Yash! 10:17, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

October 2015:

You stated here that you were done pursuing this matter. You then again repeated your claim (in the edit summary) here. Yet you continued to test the boundaries of disruptive editing by making Demands, stating "I want justice". Wikipedia is not here to provide either "justice" or entertainment for you. I am blocking you for 72 hours to rethink your approach, and I suggest that you read WP:NOJUSTICE during that time away.

Please be aware that as the number of blocks you accumulate increases, the length of each successive block will increase as well. If you truly want to contribute here, please rethink your approach.

You can find a guide to appealing blocks at WP:GAB, and further information about unblocking at WP:UNBLOCK. — Ched :  ?  10:12, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Is it disruptive to discuss it with people? I don't this this block is necessary. It's a punitive block. Supdiop (T🔹C) 10:16, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
We, the administrators, think this block is unfortunately necessary. If you wish to appeal it pleae follow the instructions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:19, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
(edit conflict) When you are not listening to what others are telling you, YES, it is disruptive. The block prevents you from taking more valuable community time to answer your posts when they have already been answered before. — Ched :  ?  10:22, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
I am not breaking anything. Why did you block me? I have the right to re-apply for adminship, I just wanted to get more opinions and you blocked me. Supdiop (T🔹C) 10:28, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I have received your email, but when I looked at your recent edits as suggested, I found this, this and this from within the past couple of days. I cannot in good faith unblock you, because I think at the moment you'll only cause disruption, and this is a shame because your edits from before your encounter with RFA show that you can be a positive contributor and that you really should know better than what I see from you recently. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:33, 7 October 2015 (UTC).
Those edits were made before the block. I was blocked for that already. See the edits after the block. Supdiop (T🔹C) 11:38, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Lankiveil I didn't edit disruptively after the block. Supdiop (T🔹C) 11:42, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
The fact that you returned to disruptive editing, despite the kind efforts of other users to try and talk you down, gives me very little confidence that you wouldn't just return to causing disruption and wasting precious volunteer time straight away if I were to unblock you now. Sorry. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:45, 7 October 2015 (UTC).
Trust me, I will just do what I did before my RFA. If I edit disruptively again, block me indefinitely. Thanks Supdiop (T🔹C) 11:59, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

AfD closures

Heyo Supdiop! You might want to use this script. You can practically close an AfD within just three or four clicks. It also helps to relist discussions with two simple clicks. Thought that it might come in handy. Cheers, Yash! 05:10, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Unconvincing closure

Hello Supdiop, I saw a recent NAC closure of yours Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Jolin Tsai concerts. I don't really see the consensus for keep there. What was your rationale in closing it as keep? Could you please explain? Thanks and regards—UY Scuti Talk 18:33, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Supdiop 2". The reason given for Supdiop 2's block is: "alternative account being used in violation of policy".


Accept reason: Autoblock was not intentional. HighInBC 23:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

@Bbb23: Was this autoblock intentional? I ask because I can see the basis for blocking either or both accounts. HighInBC 23:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

The block seems to have been due to their alt account being blocked for voting in their RfA. The autoblock has hit this account due to having the same IP. It seems that the block should either be made into a logged one or removed. HighInBC 23:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Actually, it was unintentional. If I wanted to block Supdiop directly, I would have done so. I've reblocked Supdiop 2 without autoblock checked. Hopefully, that should do it. Supdiop, please let me know if it doesn't. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:14, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
I suspected that may be the case. Supdiop if you are still blocked let me know. HighInBC 23:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Honest explanations for my actions

I am going to tell you about my real and honest intentions behind my actions. I felt that I have to explain my actions because there were many misunderstandings between me and other editors.

Wikipedia needs more administrators, Signpost By Biblioworm, motivated me to run for Adminship. I knew that I will not pass but I thought that I will get some positive feedback and encouragement to relieve me from depression. I was thinking about leaving wikipedia. My real life situation is very bad. I was depressed and I felt helpless. After every failed RFA, some nice people will come to the talk page and write some encouraging words. I thought I will also get encouragement from the users, that's why I ran for RFA. That was very bad idea.

I created the RFA page and answered the questions. I transcluded the RFA and waited for the votes to come in. NE Ent suddenly removed my transclution from main RFA page. I reverted him by saying that I am not a new editor. Softlavender again removed my transclution without any edit summary. I reverted again. Editwarring started and softlavender posted editwarring notice on my talk page. At last Softlavender stopped reverting. This editwar totally devastated me. When Bbb23 first warned me about editwarring, I promised to myself that I will never edit war again. I controlled myself from edit warring many times and this time I lost control. I felt that all my hard work was wasted. I worked for wikipedia with full dedication and I always strived to be sincere. I wanted to withdraw my RFA but Cyberpower678 closed it as WP:SNOW, no problem there. I felt more depressed and angry after RFA than before. I just couldn't control myself. Those notnow opposes also contributed to the meltdown. After I said I will revert any changes to my talk page, Liz posted a good message. My heart didn't allow me to revert Liz's edit. I wanted to revert any edits to my talk page because I decided to leave wikipedia at that point and never ever come back. I asked Liz to block me indefinitely. I vandalised few articles to give admins a reason to block me in that frustration. SuperMarioMan blocked me for 31 hours, but I wanted to get indefinite block. I've got my talkpage access revoked after few minutes. All the series of events I mentioned above led me to lose control over my actions. I wouldn't have reacted like this if I wasn't suffering from depression. You must've seen my very low edit count in September, it was because of health problems. From last two months, I am suffering from depression due to real life problems.

During that 31 hours, I slowly started to think rationally and felt that I did a very big mistake.

After the block expired I started to edit normally. I gave Bbb23 a barnstar of humor because he made a funny joke. I wanted to become normal and tried to be jovial after the block.

I added a comment on Ian's RFA that he cannot delete main page even if he presses delete button. It was obviously a joke and I had a good laugh. In 2006, an admin told another admin the same thing. That admin tried it and deleted the main page. This was very famous incident at that time. My comment was removed. I was hoping some comments like lol or someone remembering that incident. But everyone thought I was disrupting. After the discussion on my talk page I stopped adding that joke.

I removed my Support vote on Ian's RFA because I made that vote as a test. I was testing my user script. I actually didn't read any answers on RFA and I didn't see any stats or things I usually see before voting. I asked a question to Ian and I thought I will vote after seeing his answer. But I was unable to vote because I was blocked for another 72 hours.

The real reason for posting "I want justice" on ANI is to discuss why NE Ent and Softlavender reverted my RFA transclution. I have the choice to run my RFA for any duration I wish. I didn't really mean to re-open or re-start the RFA. I know that it's illogical to re-open the RFA. I was not satisfied with ANI because it was closed, so I posted to RFA talk page again to discuss it with more editors. I was blocked again for doing this despite many editors advised against doing it. [3]

I did mistakes. I will try not to repeat them again. I am requesting you all to forgive me. I just wanted to let you all know my real intentions behind my actions. I don't want to hide anything. Sorry Ohnoitsjamie, If I were you, I would have also denied the request. I am really sorry, everyone.

I will forget everything that has happened in the last week and I will do my best to improve wikipedia which is our main aim. Thank you

(edit conflict) The whole affair was a mess and I wouldn't blame anyone in particular (mostly because I want to get some noodles and go to bed, but also because it really wouldn't help anyone). You probably won't get a lot of responses from this, because most of the people tagged will just want to move on with it. If you do so as well, this will look as though you are ending this chapter instead of prolonging it (and you're at a good ending right now).
Also, one thing I do recommend: while Wikipedia can be a good way to relieve some light-to-moderate real life stress, I know from experience that it is best to avoid the site (except maybe automated swatting of obvious and undeniable vandals) when everything just plain sucks.

  • Hello Supdiop. I only made a couple of comments in relation to your RfA but I was watching your talk page for a day or so after that and really hoping we wouldn't lose a good editor from what happened. I understand that the comments on your RfA were disheartening and I think people were being unfair. That doesn't mean your behaviour was okay, but everyone here is willing to forgive and forget as long as you do. Good luck in the future. Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 12:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • First of all, your RfA didn't deserve a WP:SNOW close because nearly all opposes were WP:NOTNOW, but you have been there for 8 months, so WP:NOTNOTNOW applies. Everyone has our bad days and mistakes are allowed. Also, only thing I did at your RfA was to ask your understanding of WP:INVOLVED so that you didn't end up blocking people in which you were involved in a dispute, but still. Everyone can get frustrated, and we all have our bad days too. But yeah, its good to see you learnt from your mistakes. And I'm gonna link to an essay Wikipedia:Forgive and forget. I hope you get better in the next days. --TL22 (talk) 12:56, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
    I was forgetting something, this is not the only time someone gets frustrated, nor will be the last time, so don't worry about yourself. The last incident like this I remember was with the now-retired administrator User:Malik Shabazz. --TL22 (talk) 13:08, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • This happens to many, glad you're able to acknowledge the issue and put it behind. Just remember that Wikipedia is a website that comes secondary (at best!) to your personal life, as long as you recognize that and don't let events here control how you feel, you'll be able to handle things better going forward. Happy editing! —SpacemanSpiff 12:59, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Everyone here has bad days, Even I do , It's understandable as to why you got so upset & angry but you know what ... it's all in the past, Put it behind you & start a clean slate :), Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 13:24, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I myself have bad days. My dad always told me that I should always look forward to the future. Perhaps you can start doing admin work around Wikipedia and I am very sure you will gain admin privileges soon. I always move on and you should as well. Have fun editing Wikipedia --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:48, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
I personally avoid editing when I feel unusually stressed or angry, although I sometimes do so when feeling depressed. What I do is just take short breaks to clear my head, then dive back in. Good luck for the future, you've already done loads to help so far, and I can tell you're going to do loads more. In the end, if you wish, you will likely be able to become an administrator. --Rubbish computer 14:04, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Im sorry if my words were too harsh. It's good to have an escape from problems in the wider world, but sometimes Wikipedia will just end up aggravating those stresses instead of relieving them. Again I apologize for being unhelpful. Soap 15:01, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • I understand how you feel, because I'm depressed as much as you are. I normally don't edit when I'm angry or sad. Maybe you should take a wikibreak when you're feeling down. Everyone has their ups & downs. Well, it's all the past now, forget whatever happened before and move on and I'm sure you'll be successful. You should understand that RFA is something serious, it's not like a editor feedback. If you want, you can ask anyone on their talkpage for their feedback on you. Keep up the good work and in the future, you will likely become an administrator. Need any help, let me know. Take care Ayub407talk 15:06, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Hi, thanks for the ping and the chance to read this. I just changed my talk "page notice" (the one editors see when they open my edit window) because of this conversation to make it more obvious that I have sorrows. Thing is, sometimes Wikipedia can really hurt your feelings, so you can't depend on anyone to help you find happiness here. I find cheer if I get a "thanks" notification or personally like an edit I have made. I still get a laugh because an absolute vandal gave me a barnstar for successfully fighting them. :) Lol, lol, lol. Have some lols on me. Personally I take solace in cats, so 'miaow...and paw pats. I do wish you happy editing and hope to see you around. Peace. Fylbecatulous talk 15:19, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • Everyone lets their emotions take over at times; not everyone can humbly acknowledge it. Thanks for your honesty and humility; it serves as a good example as how to bounce back from a block gracefully and move on. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:53, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
  • What's in the past is in the past. It's all about recognizing our mistakes and learning from them. Everyone has their bad days and it's completely understandable that you lashed out. Almost everybody does. Chuck it now and move forward. All the very best :) Yash! 20:09, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

My offer

You archived it without any reply. It was at a bad time, perhaps. So, are you interested in any content work? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:00, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak: Sorry for not replying Anna, I was looking through the archive yesterday and I saw your advice. I am very interested in doing content work, I actually created two articles after the block. I want to create articles but I don't have any ideas. I will try to create articles based on your suggestion. Thanks Supdiop (T🔹C) 09:17, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
That's great news. You might find it a far more enjoyable area. Let me know if you need anything. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I will create an article soon. Supdiop (T🔹C) 09:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Nice job! Do run it through Earwig's. There's a bit of quite close paraphrasing you ought to rephrase. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:28, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Sorry if I gave you an edit conflict. I'm done. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:05, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
If you expand it further, do click to be sure. I see a bit of copyvio creeping in. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:07, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
FYI, I didn't get edit conflict. I am not sure what other words can be used to explain it. Thanks for adding infobox, I filled in the details and I will add more to it later. Does jumbling the words and numbers work for architecture section? I don't think so. I will add that section later. Thanks Supdiop (T🔹C) 13:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
I know how hard it is to avoid copyvios. I struggle with it when describing species or structures. I mean, how many ways are there to say it? Do your best. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:36, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Anna, I've added the architecture section after rephrasing and now, guess what, it's on the way to appear on the main page in the did you know section. A large bit of credit goes to you as well. Wia also did copyediting and helped to reduce the chance of CV. I will create more articles when I have time and thanks for support. Supdiop (T🔹C) 09:34, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Anna I created another article, Balmanno Castle, I will add more info and details later this week. Ardstinchar Castle is now verified and will soon appear on main page. Thanks you, without your help, I wouldn't have created them. Article creation is very tough job. Every time I click save button, after arranging all the info, adding refs and wikilinks, it feels great. CV rate on latest article is 4%, looks like I'm getting better at it ;) Thanks Supdiop (T🔹C) 23:51, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Well done!! :) This is an area you are totally suited to. And you get the satisfaction of creating something new. Don't forget to add the talk page banners. That helps the projects know it's there so they can work on it. Watch for copyvios and close paraphrasing. Consider restocking the shelves at the images needing articles page. If you do, ensure it's not a duplicate. Best wishes and good job! Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:23, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Too close paraphrasing and too far from autopatrolled right

This seems way too close. See WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASING. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:30, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

@Supdiop, in response to your off-wiki request for autopatrolled right, I am uncomfortable granting it for a couple of reasons. First, this is not one of the areas that I work in as an administrator, so I have little experience deciding whether to grant the right. Second, the policy page says you should have created at least 25 new articles before being eligible for the right. Have you done that? Third, if you're coming close to copyright violations in new articles, as pointed out by Anna Frodesiak, that is one of the things a reviewer looks at before marking a page as patrolled. Two suggestions: One you can go to WP:RFP/A and request the right in the normal way. Second, perhaps Anna feels more comfortable granting or declining the right at this time.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
I am now working on content creation. I created 15 articles. One was deleted because it was a test and I thought we could move articles from English wikipedia to other language wikipedia, that was my 2nd month on wikipedia, if you look at that article's history, you can see that it was incorrectly tagged for speedy deletion, it should have been author requested deletion. I know how wikipedia works and I know all major policies and guidelines of wikipedia. I think, I can be trusted with autopatrolled because I don't create articles which violate policies. I've got two DYKs. One will appear on main page soon. I may not be ready for adminship yet, but I am ready for autopatrolled right. I review drafts on AFC, I haven't got a single remark on my reviewing. I am looking to create many articles in next few days or weeks, patrollers don't have to review every article I create. close paraphrasings can be removed easily, but it takes some time. Thanks Supdiop (T🔹C) 15:14, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
I already requested that right at WP:PERM, but they declined my request because I did not meet the criteria, that's why requested you. Exception can be made if the user is active in content creation. I created 6 articles in last 6 days, so I am active in content creation. Supdiop (T🔹C) 15:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC
(edit conflict)Anna Frodesiak, Thanks, I tried my best to avoid CV, now it's 3%. Cheers Supdiop (T🔹C) 13:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Anna, I don't mind if you decline, actually, I got used to declines on wikipedia. One more doesn't hurt. :) Supdiop (T🔹C) 19:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi Supidop and Bbb23. I am not comfortable granting the right.
Supidop, simply rearranging things so Earwig's doesn't give a high percentage is not enough. For example:
  • Yours: "The ceratal wall is transparent and body is opaque white."
That is basically a copyvio.
Try this: Copy paste the source text to a notepad. Under the text, make a string of =============. Under that, start your stub. Write from scratch. It is not easy with species. I'm lousy at it and the result is often clumsy, nasty writing. I mean, how many ways are there to rewrite the above? The best, most expected way has already been chosen. But you have to try. I haven't reviewed you castle articles. You should. Anyhow, inspect some of my species articles and the sources to see how things can be written to avoid copyvios. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:57, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks Anna, I will inspect your articles and learn how to avoid CV properly. Supdiop (T🔹C) 20:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Happy to help. :) The trick is to never try to just rearrange text by copying bits and pieces and pasting them here and there. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:17, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks - Supdiop (T🔹C) 00:26, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Articles for Creation work

Hi Supdiop, it's great to see you working at Articles for Creation. I saw you declined this submission, and quite rightfully so, but I always think when dealing with these types of pages that rather than stick a bland "This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability" tag at the top of the page, it's nice to tell people that they can talk about themselves on their userpages. I left a message for them at User talk:Ed2696 trying to say something to this effect, because it looked to me like they were just trying to write a userpage rather than an encyclopedic article. Anyway, thanks for helping out! Bilorv(talk)(c)(e) 17:40, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Good, at least he now knows that he can't create autobiography. By the way, I figured that out myself. Anyway, thanks Supdiop (T🔹C) 17:47, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

User:N0TABENE

Hello Supdiop!
I need your help. User:N0TABENE wants to fight with me. He nominated my article Justin Bibis for deletion which was previously nominated for deletion and the result was keep. I told him on his talk page but he again nominated it for deletion. He is also vandalised my talk page and I asked to him to stop bothering me and he removed that message from his talk page. He's mostly editting my articles and I think he's not doing good editing. I'm getting really angry but I just asked him politely to stop disturbing me. I don't want to fight on Wikipedia. Please ask him to stop.
Thank You--Musa Talk  20:34, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

I actually never sent you a cup of tea although you sent a cupcake so I thank you for that and I also happened to notice now you had an unsuccessful RfA so here's a cup of tea to alleviate your day. I hope you won't let it get to you personally and, if you ever feel liking trying something new, AfD and AfC are always welcome to new users. If you ever need any help, I'm here.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5

Newsletter • October 2015

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

We did it!

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects Cannabis, Evolutionary Biology, Ghana, Hampshire, and Women's Health. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on WikiProject Women in Technology, Women in Red, WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the Pilots page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our slides are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our grant report filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

The work continues!

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. Comments on the proposal are welcome. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the renewal proposal.

How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what you think. The session is being planned on Phabricator, the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the login page. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.


Until next time,

Harej (talk) 09:03, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

A cup of java to stay alert!

When you decline a blurb like User talk:Melpar2118 where he states about himself "on Wikapedia he tends to go on random articles and change everything", then do spend a minute looking at his contributions. He did not lie. The paperwork at AIV has been done. Sam Sailor Talk! 16:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
I was more focused on which criteria I should decline it. Sorry, I should have checked his edits. Sigh. Anyway, thanks for letting me know this. - Supdiop (T🔹C) 16:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month is COMING!

Hi Supdiop ,

The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:

  1. Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
  2. Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
  3. The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
  4. There is a template that you can use on your user page. {{Template:User Asian Month‎}}

Enjoy the Wikipedia Asian Month :) --AddisWang (talk)

ANI Archives

Hello, Supdiop,
I see you are actively archiving WP:ANI but please do not do so hastily. If a complaint is closed, please wait at least 12 hours (and 24 hours is better) before archiving it so that those editors who participated in the discussion have a chance to see how the case was resolved. If archived too quickly, it can result in one of the parties "unarchiving" the case because they don't believe or accept that it has been resolved which can cause disorder both on the archive page and on ANI. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 10:00, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Ok - Supdiop (T🔹C) 10:04, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
Agree. You need to wait at least 24 hours so that all parties concerned can view the result of the discussion, no matter what their time zone or sleeping patterns. 24 hours gives everyone a chance to view it during their awake hours. To make sure you have waited at least 24 hours, Google utc time and then subtract one day from that, and don't archive anything closed later than that. Thank you.

Supdiop, it is good, but not OK. Have a look at WP:SIGLEN - having lengthy markup does cause a lot of trouble. Also, see WP:SIGAPP - using the "big" markup awkwardly increases the space between three successive lines. Yash! 08:02, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Yash!, thank you. I will remove the contributions link, then it will have less than 250 charecters. I reduced the overall size of the sign, I think it's okay now. - Supdiop (T🔹C) 08:19, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
Yes, it looks pretty good now. BTW, if you remove "font-size: 75%;" and use '''Sign''' instead of "font-weight: bold", you can further reduce the number of characters. Then, it'd be alright to have contributions too as long as the number of characters don't go too much over 255. I hope that helps :) Yash! 08:29, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

RfA

Over at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll, it says "You can opt to accompany your score with a short, one-sentence comment; please leave any detailed feedback on the user's talk page", so I thought I'd add a few more words here. My one sentence summary might sound a bit harsh, but I would be doing you a disservice if I was not completely honest with you, and I'm quite certain that most people seeing your inclusion at that page would feel similarly. I see you have offered an explanation and apology above, and you are to be commended for that. But words are not sufficient, and I'd say you need to demonstrate a year or two of mature behaviour before you would have any chance in a second run at RfA (and in that time, just keep up the good work you are doing, and completely forget about adminship and make no mention of it anywhere lest you be seen as an overenthusiastic hat collector). At the moment, you have absolutely no chance whatsoever of succeeding at RfA, and I just feel your best interests would be served by your fully understanding that.

  • PS: I want to add that I have experience of depression in my family with a family member so bad they were praying to die every night before they woke. At the time I saw many well-meaning people pussy-footing around it, pretending nothing was wrong, and trying to say that everything was fine and dandy. But I think that only made things worse, as the person is too intelligent to swallow any of that nonsense and it really didn't help. What did help was being honest and facing the problem, and getting the proper help for it. I hope you're getting the help you need: my family member made a full recovery and is now a very happy person :-) EightTwoThreeFiveOneZeroSevenThreeOne (talk) 15:36, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
