Reverted Page Edits[edit]

Sorry, not sure how this works so I am putting this here. You seemed to have reverted my edits to page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deliveroo&action=history calling for lack of citation. Other people have put in the same edit and yet have cited an irrelevant link. The actual news article was published a couple of hours later. I would like to know the reason for removing my edit.

Adding reference to Wikipedia articles[edit]

Just follow the steps as shown, and fill in the details

Hello Aggarwala2727! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding well-formatted references is easy.

  1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite". Click on it.
  2. Then click on "templates".
  3. Choose the most appropriate template and then fill all relevant details.

This will add a well-formatted reference, which will allow other people to see where you got your information from. You can read more about this at Help:Edit toolbar, or watch this video: File:RefTools.ogv. Thanks and regards. —DBigXrayᗙ 08:24, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT COPY[edit]

DO NOT COPY is a basic concept in academia. The content you added at 2.0 (film) in this edit was copied from this source. This is unacceptable. Copying is intellectually dishonest and lazy, and constitutes intellectual theft. Plagiarism and copyright violations will not be tolerated at Wikipeda. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:52, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]


So what should I do to edit it?
Should I write it in my own words? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aggarwala2727 (talk • contribs) 04:04, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm horrified that I would have to explain this as though it weren't common knowledge, but yes. And note that close paraphrasing isn't allowed either, so anything that looks like an attempt to mask plagiarism by moving a few words around will be treated the same way as a copyright violation. If this is not something you think you will be able to do because of limited English skills or something like that, then you should post an edit request on the talk page and see if anybody else would be willing to do it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:02, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for that. Thanks Aggarwala2727 (talk) 08:58, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Chacha Bhatija (cartoon series)[edit]

Notice

The article Chacha Bhatija (cartoon series) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article cites no sources and there are no reliable sources available

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TryKid (talk) 10:03, 26 May 2018 (UTC) TryKid (talk) 10:03, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Was that a passive aggressive move?[edit]

So, you corrected some grammar mistakes on my user page, with the edit summary "just wanted to thank you". So... You genuinely wanted to thank me or you were being sarcastic? I recently nominated your page for AfD, and that's not something people usually thank others for.... TryKid (talk) 17:21, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I really just wanted to thank you. I am a beginner and can you please tell me what is the AfD? Aggarwala2727 (talk) 09:04, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Aggarwala2727: AfD mean is Articles for deletion. AfD is where Wikipedians discuss whether an article should be deleted. Articles listed are normally discussed for at least seven days, after which the deletion process proceeds based on community consensus. Common outcomes are that the article is kept, merged, redirected, incubated, renamed/ moved to another title, userfied to a user subpage, or deleted per the deletion policy. Please see WP:AFD. Thank you, Siddiqsazzad001 <Talk/> 10:01, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help.

Google Local Guides moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Google Local Guides, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 19:37, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems at St. Xavier's School, Bhiwadi[edit]

Thank you for noticing the copyright problems at St. Xavier's School, Bhiwadi. I have removed the problem text and converted the article to a stub, so there is now no need to delete the article. It is usually better to fix an article when this is possible rather than to delete it. I have also asked for the offending old revisions to be deleted. Eastmain (talk • contribs)

Article names[edit]

FYI, as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), only the first word in an article should be capitalised, unless it's a proper noun. Therefore, I've moved the page back to 2018 cricket pitch fixing and betting scandal. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:25, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Bhuvan Bam.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Bhuvan Bam.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chaman Lal DAV Public School, Panchkula, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of SilverZone Foundation[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on SilverZone Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  samee  converse  12:04, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aggarwala[edit]

Hi,

Thank you for your warm welcome!

I am here to create a page on our company which is not notable enough. How can I make my company's presence in media and other third-party independent sources to create a Wikipedia page?

Thanks in advance. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhargavi Mandalika (talk • contribs) 12:48, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am grateful that you asked this on my talk page. First of all, creating articles on Wikipedia of a notable company or an organisation if you are paid to do it, is not acceptable. Secondly, said that your company is not notable enough, you can't create public attention for it. An organisation can only attract media attention if it does something that attracts public attention. If you would like to join Wikipedia as an individual and not as an organization representative, you are welcome.
P.S. Please sign yourself on talk pages by putting four tildes. Thanks. clickheretogototheuserpageofAggarwala2727 (talk) 13:12, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Miniapolis, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Reidgreg and Tdslk.

June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated!

June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here.

August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585.

Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent.

September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist.

GOCE December 2019 Newsletter[edit]

Guild of Copy Editors December 2019 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the September edition. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January.

Election time: Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself!

September Drive: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles.

October Blitz: This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests.

November Drive: Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog.

Our December Blitz will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now!

Progress report: From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an all-time low of 479 articles.

Request archiving: The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to Zhuyifei1999 and Bobbychan193, YiFeiBot is now archiving the Requests page. Archiving occurs around 24 hours after a user's signature and one of the templates {{Done}}, {{Withdrawn}} or {{Declined}} are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the correct codes and templates.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist.

GOCE March newsletter[edit]

Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below.

Election results: There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a coordinator emeritus while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator. The next election is scheduled for June 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate.

January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a record low of 323 articles in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

February Blitz: Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are here.

March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 March, the backlog stands at a record low of 253 articles and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now!

Progress report: As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone!

Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist

Drive and blitz reports

March Drive: Self-isolation from coronavirus may have played a hand in making this one of our most successful backlog elimination drives. The copy-editing backlog was reduced from 477 to a record low of 118 articles, a 75% reduction. The last four months of 2019 were cleared, reducing the backlog to three months. Fifty requests were also completed, and the total word count of copy-edited articles was 759,945. Of the 29 editors who signed up, 22 completed at least one copy edit. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

April Blitz: This blitz ran from 12 to 18 April with a theme of Indian military history. Of the 18 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed a total of 60 copyedits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

May Drive: This event marked the 10th anniversary of the GOCE's copy-editing drives, and set a goal of diminishing the backlog to just one month of articles, as close to zero articles as possible. We achieved the goal of eliminating all articles that had been tagged prior to the start of the drive, for the first time in our history! Of the 51 editors who signed up, 43 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Other news

Progress report: as of 2 June, GOCE participants had processed 328 requests since 1 January, which puts us on pace to exceed any previous year's number of requests. As of the end of the May drive, the backlog stood at just 156 articles, all tagged in May 2020.

Outreach: To mark the 10th anniversary of our first Backlog Elimination Drive, The Signpost contributor and GOCE participant Puddleglum2.0 interviewed project coordinators and copy-editors for the journal's April WikiProject Report. The Drive and the current Election of Coordinators have also been covered in The Signpost's May News and Notes page.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Baffle gab1978, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist.

Your draft article, Draft:Allen Career Institute[edit]

Hello, Aggarwala2727. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Allen Career Institute".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:57, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Warning template[edit]

This warning was a little heavy-handed. While I appreciate other users looking for potential spam, this user's userpage content was not overly promotional. Directing them to the userpage guidelines is a more beneficial way to educate them and gain a productive good-faith editor. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:31, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021.

                 Current and upcoming events

Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC).

December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now!

September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Other news

It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community.

Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above).

Court Piece[edit]

Hi User:Aggarwala2727 I am new to Wikipedia editing. I noticed you reverted my change to the Court Piece Wiki page, where I added a link to an online Hokm game I wrote. What was my change reverted? Thanks, Vdastpak1 (talk) 10:06, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, unfortunately, wikipedia is not the place for self promotion in any form, that is precisely why your edit was reverted. You are welcome to make constructive edits though. clickHereToGoToMyUserPage (talk) 10:09, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Aggarwala2727, I understand Wikipedia is not for self promotion. I was clear in my commit message that I wrote the game. My game is non-commercial. It's free, it doesn't need any downloads or registrations, and it has no ads. It's the closest you can find to the real game. Also, there are two external links for Rung on the page (one of which needs registration and runs ads) but none for Hokm. Cheers, Vdastpak1 (talk) 17:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

About your rollback on Nogger[edit]

Hey Aggarwala, I was just patrolling this article and noticed that you reverted seven consecutive edits (diff) without an explanation, and wanted to ask why you did that. Please note that using rollback (or Twinkle's rollback-like function) almost always calls for an edit summary or note on the article's talk page, unless the changes you're reverting are unambiguous vandalism. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
