Yo Ho Ho

Happy New Year!

Two things

  • IPs hell-bent on adding Ganpath and Heropanti 2 in the filmography section of the Tiger Shroff article, despite no news on principal photography. I've explained that many time in the edit summaries, but they wouldn't listen. I believe the page need to be protected for some time.
  • Is this user a sock of Jitzag? I see similar interest in singer articles and Assamese language films like Mission China, Underworld, Kanchenjunga, etc.

- Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:19, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: Semi-protected the Tiger Shroff article for 2 weeks. Thanks for the tip about Jitazg. I noticed them a few weeks back and was waiting for them to be more ducky. I filed an SPI on them yesterday, but still appreciate the open eyes. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:42, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks and welcome sir. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Krack film

Sir, IPs keep adding unsourced content about the film being inspired by the Tamil film Sethupathi [1] [2] [3]. I believe it needs to requires protection. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:10, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion

Looks like block evasion by user:Chutrandi [4] [5]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:44, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Handled. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:58, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Obsession with the "partner" parameter

Seems some IPs and users (including this one) are hell bent on adding "Aly Goni" as the subject's |partner= despite multiple edit summaries on how this parameter is restricted for "unmarried long term life partner" as explained here. I don't know how to stop this. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:41, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: While I would tend to agree that it's probably a misuse of this parameter to include someone that the subject, a 30-year-old, has been dating for a year, you might ask the community for some clarity on that, since it's somewhat vague and I don't know what hard line to draw, or how to express that to this editor. "This parameter is only for people who have been in a relationship for ten years or more without being married!" or whatever. How are we differentiating boyfriend from life partner? Seems like they'd have to live together as a first step. Do they have to have a kid? I don't like vague instructions. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
True the instructions are vague. Where can I ask for clarification? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:44, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Some IP (I've seen them before making good edits) reverted it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:47, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fylindfotberserk: Template talk:Infobox person. I think it's often a good idea to raise these questions publicly. Helps to light a fire under the community's arse sometimes. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:48, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
, I'll do. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ramya Krishnan

That IP has started adding "late" immediately after the block expired [6], despite the fact that I had notified them about the discussion in the edit summary. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: This is another one of those situations where if you had A) opened a discussion and B) dropped a {{talkback}} on their talk page inviting them to the discussion, (which Twinkle makes very easy to do) it would be easier to administrate. Who knows if the anon will read the edit summary you provided? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:12, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reminding me sir, I was going to open a discussion but forgot. I'll do it now. Today I opened 3-4 discussion for noob users to 'see', just for the sake of it. As far as that template discussion went, while I appreciate the suggestions, it went off tangent and was rather irrelevant in that specific talk page to discuss, since my first post had nothing to do with the possibilities of banning that newbie nor had I requested for page protection (already done that in WP:RPP) in that talk page. Instead they pinged with this, I mean how relevant it is to discuss WP:ANI like stuff or page protection in a template talk page in which the original post was on a parameter specific to the template? I wasn't even expecting this. If all that 'venting' had been on the WP:RPP request thread or atleast in my talk page, it would have been more relevant and I'd have been happy to take it. Sorry! . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:55, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fylindfotberserk: I wouldn't get too upset about it. It's common for there to be misunderstandings or to have personality conflicts with other editors. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:17, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Have to admit, I got a little upset. Thanks sir for this reply . Oh.. I have opened a discussion, hope the IP sees that. They seem to be using it same IP since 26 January. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:39, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fylindfotberserk: Since the IP has again submitted the "late" without participating, I have interrupted their ability to edit that article for 2 weeks, in order to encourage their participation in discussion. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:40, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nice. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:03, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Now added "late" again using another IP [7]. The article needs protection it seems. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:33, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possible socks

Substantial interactions. Shall I start an SPI? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 07:18, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: I'd wait for behavioural similarities to develop. 2 intersections isn't going to quite cut it. If they add/restore the same material or have the same operating procedure, then sure. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:16, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
These are the diffs [8] [9] [10]. But since these are restricted to a single article, we should probably wait. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not opening a new thread, looks like the work of a sock here. Unnecessary image changes in many articles, this for example. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:43, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fylindfotberserk: Who is this a suspected sock of? What is the behavioural evidence? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Her? She used to change images frequently. Might be others I don't know. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:33, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Feels different. The inclusion of American subjects is not typical of Riya. And this person is doing weird things like using image titles as captions like here, which results in WP:SURNAME issues as well as idiotic phrasing like so-and-so "graces" an event, which makes it sound like Wikipedia thinks she blessed Earth with her presence. And they're using wide-shot watermarked images, which I think she would know not to do, but who knows. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:33, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'll keep an eye. I think I've crossed paths with them before, matches the description more closely, but forgot the articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:40, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Avinash Sachdev

Reg this edit [11] User:RYLELT7 reverted an information regarding the actor Avinash Sachdev's personal life . I have a doubt whether is it right of it to include it or not? Could you please clarify. With regards. Noobie anonymous (talk) 09:47, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Noobie anonymous: I don't think it's unreasonable to include information about a 4-year relationship with another actor, but ultimately this is something to hash out on the talk page. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:17, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eswnav, part several

Hi Cyphoidbomb, you've been communicating with Eswnav before about edits relating to Vani Bhojan – today, they (yet again) did this, never having acknowledged or answered the questions about those edits on their talk page. (Looking for old conversations with and about Eswnav on your talk page, I also noticed that no response ever came forth to your question here...) I don't think this behaviour is going to stop, and I don't want to go to ANI if I can help it. Could you do something adminny, do you think? Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 15:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonadea: Hey there, sorry for the delay in responding. This edit in particular is a bit more of a grey area for me. There are four people on the poster, which would suggest that there are four leads; I think that's her on the lower left. Of course it doesn't explain the usual ignorance of calling someone a star in one place and then saying she plays a supporting role. But let me see if I can find that other account I suspected them of having. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:06, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bonadea: Found it. Eswaran Naveen. Eswnav has been indeffed. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:13, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New suspect sock of Dmjoshi12

Hi, I've notice you blocked USGCC as suspected sock of Dmjoshi12, after they made similar edits to OCJ77 another sock of Dmjoshi12. I'm just letting you know that is another user making similar edits to USGCC and USGCC, meaning they are likely a new sock of Dmjoshi12. The user is Amitbhatt12 and they made same or similar edits on the Alibaba Marjinaa, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time articles as well been making edits to Draft:Honey Bunny Ka Johlmaal. All the same articles that other suspect socks made edits on. I'm just bring this to your attention. TheDeviantPro (talk) 10:33, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDeviantPro: Thanks for the tip! I'll take care of it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing in Bigg Boss 14

Would you please add protection in Bigg Boss 14 because there have been disrupted edits in this article. Finale is going to be on 21 February at night. Till 22nd February would you please add protection. Jenifree 15:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jenifree: Protected 1 week. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:51, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyphoidbomb: THANK YOU!! Jenifree 02:13, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding some info in awards section of naagin 5

Please add the awards recently won by Surbhi Chandna and Sharad Malhotra (ITA) under the awards and nomination section! Eternal Soul International Model United Nations (talk) 01:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pls add Sudha Chandran as main character in season 1 & 2

The story of complete season 1 was based upon on Yamini. Her mystery of being the fifth murderer, wearing the magical ring as a necklace, her relation with Sangram singh and Ritik. She is the one who changes the mind of shesha. In season 2, she leads the group of murderers of shivanya and she is the one who kills the real parents of rocky. She even leads the clan of murderers of Ritik. She also makes a guest appearance in naagin 3. Pls add Sudha Chandran as the main character And even Rakshanda khan in naagin 3. You are not mentioning the darker sides, please take care of that. Eternal Soul International Model United Nations (talk) 01:35, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edits Made to List of Songs Recorded by KK

Recently I added the information related to KK songs from Hum Jo Kehna Paaye. Since the album is not available on ayn music platforms I added IMDb's page as reference but it was removed by you stating IMDb is not suitable. The same movie is listed in Anupam Kher's discography of 2004 even without any citation of IMDb. The intention is to let people know the unknown and unnoticed songs. Please let me know if you want me to make you listen to the songs I mentioned so that you can verify it was sung by KK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandu Sekhar95 (talkcontribs) 03:25, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chandu Sekhar95: Hi there, I appreciate that you took the time to open a discussion. Listening to a song and deciding that it was performed by ___ artist is the epitome of original research, which isn't allowed at Wikipedia. One singer could easily sound like another singer, and a few years back I had a brief argument with another editor about whether a photo was showing Actor A or Actor B, and I could see why they thought it was B, even when I thought it was A. Content needs to be attributed to reliable published sources. IMDb is not considered a reliable source per WP:RS. If the album has been published and the liner notes contain proper attributions that the subject sang on the tracks, then you can cite the published medium using {{Cite AV media}}. For the sake of verifiability, it is preferable to have this information found on the internet, but it is not required. That said, I know how inconsistent the Indian entertainment industry is with providing proper credits. TV actors and film actors often don't receive acknowledgement onscreen for their work, so there is a significant challenge before you, and you could receive pushback from editors who want to see the actual sources. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:21, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
then have you removed the same from Anupam Kher's discography? It's unfair to see the good content go unnoticed, even though you acknowledge the challenges in getting the content of old movies. I am disheartened by this act after having done analysis with the film and observing end credits of the movie and now you remove it even though you understand the challenge. I suppose this page should not be of your interest when you are not ready to analyse something about music and singer's voice given this page is about music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandu Sekhar95 (talkcontribs) 04:51, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Chandu Sekhar95: Hi again, it would be appreciated if you'd please sign your posts with four tildes like ~~~~, which will append your signature and a time stamp that will identify who said what and when it was said. As for your response, that comparably poorly-sourced material be removed from another article, this is a standard counter-argument in discussions of this type, but it's largely an emotional argument, not a rational one. There is no practical way to organise the removal of all problematic content all across the encyclopedia. If I had told you that you misspelled the word Britain in one of your contributions, and your response was that all misspellings of Britain should be fixed across the entire encyclopedia, I would probably agree with you, but neither you nor I would likely be able to provide a coherent plan for making this change happen, so the counter-argument is irrelevant. Now getting back on track, if the information is logged in the film's end credits, then cite the end credits. Time stamps are additionally helpful. See {{Cite AV media}}, which I mentioned to you above. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:21, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Salaar POV ethnic warring

Apart from this guy you warned, IP (possibly him) undoing the same stuff here, here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:36, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: Yeah, they clearly have an opinion about this. I've tacked onto your warning on the logged-in user's talk page. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:43, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that, thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:45, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Time to dance film article

Time to dance film article is redirect to Bhushan Kumar's article. The film is going to release on 12 March now. Sush150 (talk) 12:18, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see here Bovineboy2008 converted it to a redirect, feeling that it was not notable. You might open a discussion with them and bring whatever new references you have that would demonstrate that it is notable. Merely existing and being released doesn't mean it is notable. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:40, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sock

Hi User:Cyphoidbomb just want to inform you that the user you blocked User:Riya Iyer S Menon is editing on a new user. My suspicion is that this User:Guntaaz has been doing the same edits as Riya like here [12] - riya and here [13]. More please take action and block — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.60.67 (talk) 14:11, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, thanks for the tip. I'm aware of this new editor and I'm keeping an eye on them. I'm not 100% convinced they're related, so I'm hoping to find more behavioural evidence. If you find more of these coincidences, please send them my way. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:18, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kamya introduction

Hi User:Cyphoidbomb please make this User:RYLELT7 understand that don’t remove the Bigg Boss section in the top as he or she did here [14] as she is also known for appearing in the show as she was one of the main contestants who did well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.60.67 (talk) 05:30, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I can't stop this editor from having this opinion, even if I were to disagree with it. You need to discuss it with them on the talk page. The article subject has appeared on a number of reality shows, so it's unclear why this one season is more important than others, but that's something you should be willing to discuss, as this is a community editing project. Sorry. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:34, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@86.143.60.67: If you want that in the lead that badly, okay. Doesn't bother me. I just found it a little bit unreasonable to include that in lead just for her being a part on this Big Boss show. And, this wasn't my personal opinion. Additional note: as mentioned earlier, this type of stuff should be discussed on the articles' talk page itself where contributors can reach consensus WP:CONS. It doesn't always require an admin's attention. Hope you're happy now. RYLELT7 (talk) 05:58, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Page Paper Port (TV series)

Hey sir please delete article page Paper Port (TV series) because these page are provided below references only 3 references so please delete him ध्रुविल९०१२ (talk) 14:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ध्रुविल९०१२: If you think an article should be deleted, you should probably go through the Articles for Deletion process. However, if you do, you are required to adhere to the steps of WP:BEFORE. One of those steps is to see whether or not there is significant coverage of the subject at Google News or Google Books. I find this Variety article and this article which speak about it in depth. Thus, it is potentially notable and I would be disinclined to nominate it for deletion, if that was something I was thinking about doing, which I am not. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:32, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Sir But Dard ka Rishta Article in not cite any source and not any references ध्रुविल९०१२ (talk) 09:24, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ध्रुविल९०१२: And? What do you want me to do? There are many thousands of articles that probably should not exist at Wikipedia or that should, but that are poorly sourced or unsourced. This is a volunteer-based project. If you see a problem, fix it or address it. I'm sure there are books on Indian cinema out there that talk about this film. Or newspapers. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:17, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK Sir I understand thanks for reply ध्रुविल९०१२ (talk) 11:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kriti Sanon

Sir, this IP wouldn't listen. Initially they were copy-pasting sources from the Bachhan Pandey entry diff1 and diff2. Now added entry without source here. I've warned them and also invited them in the talk page. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:11, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is possible they might try the same in Tiger Shroff article. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:12, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fylindfotberserk: If someone is committing obvious vandalism, like adding fake references, there no need to discuss that. I would just slap incremental warning templates on their talk page. If they continue, then let me know and I'll block the IP. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've already issued a level 4 warning, after the second unsourced addition. I reverted again now. Let's see if they discuss. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The IP again added it here, also another IP changed her birth year [15]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:51, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
IP again. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some users and IPs vandalizing Chehre

Some users and IPs have been vandalising the Chere. See these removal of sourced content [16] [17]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:20, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding DOB

Hi. Regarding DOB's, if a source does not indicate the birth year they were born, but for example, it says they turned 22, is it acceptable for inclusion to include the birth year or no? RYLELT7 (talk) 00:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RYLELT7: Hi there, you can, but with circumspection: some articles don't have publication dates, they have "Updated" dates, which may not coincide with when the article was written. I would advise not using these. I also don't trust slideshows, as they could have been assembled by interns and I've seen some real sloppy ones. The community also doesn't like Times of India bios (see archived discussion here for background. Also TOI is already on the community's shitlist for subjects like politics, but we're a little more forgiving with their fluffy entertainment reporting, although it appears to be on the decline.)
I've also seen some examples of sources changing birthdates/ages over time. @Fylindfotberserk: Do you remember a conversation about an actor's age where, looking through the Wayback Machine, I noticed that news outlet had changed the subject's age? Did I have that conversation with you? Any idea where that might have been? Anyway, RYLELT7, I know I answered more than you asked, but I figured it would be helpful to have this other info. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:10, 25 February 2021 (UTC
Oh okay. Got it. Thanks for the response. RYLELT7 (talk) 02:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyphoidbomb, Kind of, but I'm forgetting that actor's name. We had similar conversations on quite a few actor BLPs. I typically check with Wayback whenever I come across "updated" dates of publication. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 06:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Fylindfotberserk: I stumbled onto it just now. Talk:Aditi Rao Hydari. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:27, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh thanks. I was thinking hard yesterday. This is not in my watchlist, perhaps why I forgot about it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No blame from me, my friend. If you were to leave this place Wikipedia would soon collapse under the sheer weight of unreverted studio UPE propagandic detritus. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 00:14, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Retaining page Disney James

Hi, What references should we add in order to retain the page Disney James. Kindly guide us, please. Plackiyil (talk) 17:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Plackiyil: The article has already been deleted as a result of the closed discussion found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disney James. When you create an article, you need to be able to demonstrate that the subject, in this case Disney James, mees Wikipedia's notability criteria. There are two that are relevant here.
  1. Our General Notability Guideline, which requires that James has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. "Significant coverage" is detailed writing about the subject directly, not about films they've participated in. It also doesn't mean a passing mention. A "reliable source" is a mainstream source with an established reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. In the context of Indian cinema, see WP:ICTFSOURCES for some (but not all) examples of good and bad sources. Blogs, data websites, IMDb, social media do nothing to help here. "Independent" means unrelated to the subject. Press releases don't count. The subject's own writings or website(s) don't count. Even interviews do nothing to establish notability.
  2. Criteria specifically for actors can be found at WP:NACTOR.
Based on what little I found in the way of coverage of James, he doesn't seem to meet our General Notability Guideline. It also does not appear that he meets our notability criteria for actors, since he has mostly been a bit player, not the star of multiple mainstream films or television series. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was a long term effort. But we understand your criteria. Thankyou for your support so far. Plackiyil (talk) 18:15, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your support

I appreciate your comments agreeing with my view regarding birth names in infoboxes. Unfortunately, others seem to feel differently. I wish the style guidelines were specific (even if they were specific contrary to my view). It seems a waste of time and effort to have names that differ only by middle name sometimes added and sometimes removed. A consistent approach would be nice.

@Teblick: I dislike vague instructions as well and I think the discussion should continue to take place until a better consensus develops. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:20, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds good. By the way, shortly after I read the discussion this afternoon and wrote to you, I saw an article in which an editor had added the birth name -- differing only by middle name from the title -- to the article's infobox. The back-and-forth will continue endlessly unless some more specific guideline is provided. Eddie Blick (talk)
@Teblick: Yeah, as I said, the purpose of the infobox is to summarise content found elsewhere in the article. If we're making a point of noting anywhere in the article body that the person's birth name differs from their common name then to my mind, the |birth_name= parameter should include this, because it is summarising content found elsewhere. Emily Deschanel → Emily Erin Deschanel is a difference of one name. So I guess that (arbitrarily) doesn't meet the undecided "threshold"? Cher's |birthname= is Cherilyn Sarkisian. That's a difference of one and a half names. Is that enough to justify |birthname= addition? What about Madonna vs. |birth_name= Madonna Louise Ciccone? That's a difference of 2 whole names. Does that qualify? Or is this one of those "I'll know it when I see it" arbitrary objections? Anyway, I could rant about this for a while, but a lot of infobox templates and parameters were likely added by well-meaning folks a long-ass time ago, and I've seen many cases where there wasn't a whole lot of contemplation or discussion about the intention of the various parameters, just one person adding a thing. This could be such a situation. I lean toward clear explanations, but there are many others who reject clarification for one reason or another; I think some editors may have been burned in life by having too many rules thrown at them, so they are inherently reluctant to endorse clarity, but I don't especially find those positions rational.

I've reverted two and have issued a warning, but I'm not terribly interested in those articles and this is something that any editor can do. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:14, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
