You are unnecessary misspelling Indian names. This is not good. It is spelled रघुवंशी in Hindi which is either Raghuwanshi or Raghuvanshi.
It is a common surname used by Indian and I muyself is a Raghuwanshi. I wonder why foreigner are changing spellings of Indian names.

Response to Talk Page Response for Catherine L. Ross

Hi! I am an assistant for the Center of Quality of Growth and Regional Development and I'm not being paid to explicitly alter Dr. Catherine Ross's Wikipedia, I just manage a lot of her online websites and noticed this tag on her Wikipedia. I'm so sorry about the username, I had no idea that organizational username's weren't allowed, however if you were somehow able to remove the tag or tell me how to go about this once I make a new username, that would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much again for all of your help! CQGRD (talk) 21:07, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CQGRD: You've been provided a link with instructions on changing username. And you may not remove the tag, because you have a conflict of interest. The tag can only be removed when independent editors review the article. —C.Fred (talk) 21:11, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Baltic states, same old story.

Why do you think that for Baltic states the full political name is necessary? As said people born in china have only China, not People's republic of China. People born in Paris, France 1940 have Paris France not, Paris German Military Administration. I have read the old long discussions in the talk, they lead nowhere and are inconclusive. If we use Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, then do we need to use Republic of Estonia instead of just Estonia also? And what will happen with transitional periods and war times? Like if we have a person born between 8 May 1990 and 20 August 1991, when the state was already named to Republic of Estonia and the 1938 constitution was reinstated, but the state was still loosely part of Soviet union or even until 6 September 1991, when USSR officially accepted the independence of Estonia?

What date will the Soviet Union be dropped from the end, infobox person says to use sovereign state (although we know that sovereignty over Baltic states never went to Soviet Union at all due to annexation being internationally not recognized) there was Estonian Sovereignty Declaration 16 November 1988, declaring Estonia's sovereignty and the supremacy of the Estonian laws over the laws of the Soviet Union. So legally Estonian member status of Soviet Union after this was looser than in EU (tough of course Estonia was under military occupation in reality). I can go on, like in wartime there's even more "fun" political situations, like which village was controlled by which power. Germans reached Estonia 7 July, battles lasted until 2 December 1941 and again from 2 February to 19 December 1944. But maybe it's easier to follow MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE and present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content. --Klõps (talk) 23:30, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Klõps: So we should list just USSR, then, and omit Estonia? That's easy enough. :) —C.Fred (talk) 02:04, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I expected something intelligent from someone with administrator privileges. This is really low. Administrator should see arguments from both sides, not go full sarcastic middle finger. --Klõps (talk) 08:14, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Klõps: Thank you for enjoining yourself to the ANI report. —C.Fred (talk) 13:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, WP:HOCKEY has been a tad lenient by having the SSRs included in the infoboxes with the Soviet Union. Perhaps, it's time the WikiProject remove them & go with just "City, Soviet Union". GoodDay (talk) 15:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I should point out, that there's currently an ongoing ANI report related to this topic. It's obvious, that things have gone beyond the point of just a content dispute. GoodDay (talk) 23:33, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GoodDay: And I did render an opinion there about one of the editors in question and whether they should be allowed to participate further in Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 17:00, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:HOCKEY's compromise is that we 'allow' showing "Estonian SSR", "Latvian SSR" & "Lithuanian SSR". Otherwise, it would simply be "City, Soviet Union". GoodDay (talk) 16:33, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Solo music articles

Hi there! I know that I might've talked about this with you before, but I think Niki and Gabi are ready to have their individual articles, they're becoming more notable as solo musicians now and also the last time they released music together was in 2019, there's a lot of reliable sources that talks about their solo projects, if they can't have articles can they at least have articles for their music? also check out Draft:Gabi DeMartino if you can! a-side from singing, they also starred in shows individually such as Freakish or Blood Queens. Gabriella Grande (talk) 18:55, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabriella Grande: I looked at Draft:Gabi DeMartino, and I do not see where she is yet notable per WP:NMUSIC. —C.Fred (talk) 21:27, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awards and honors received by Bruce Lee

Dear editors,

Please, don't delete any piece of information from my last version! I've worked very hard to compile all those awards/honors. It took me long to finish it.

It wasn't a good behavior to delete information related to top brands such as Nike, Nokia, Xiaomi, Casio and Hublot. I've been wise and careful enough to write an article that meets all generations' needs/expectations. For instance, teens find Bruce Lee Xiaomi smartphone a more interesting honor than a statue. Moreover, that kind of honors are recent. It's important to have an up-to-date article. Please, pay attention to sources dates/years. I had into account past (e.g. statues), present (e. g. Xiaomi smartphone) and future (a suggestion: Bruce Lee should be awarded with an Honorary Doctorate Degree).

Thank you for your understanding.

I'm no doubt making a mistake in coming here, but I feel compelled to register my strong disagreement with your actions with respect to the user. They were given many warnings and ignored them all. They were asked to self-revert, and they did not. Instead, you do a "courtesy revert" for them (I've never heard of such a thing), and then when they ignore you and revert again, you partially block them (they should be sitewide-blocked as this is not the only article they've edit-warred on) and for a mere 31 hours. This is just delaying the inevitable, an indefinite block for WP:NOTHERE, WP:CIR, and disruption, which is what I said on EdJohnston's Talk page (don't know if you had a chance to read it).--Bbb23 (talk) 20:51, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: And then there's this message on their user talk page. Methinks they're just digging the hole deeper. —C.Fred (talk) 02:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed. Do you think the "BYE BUY" was an intentional pun? If the user is being paid, the payer is not getting their money's worth.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: And WP:REFUND doesn't handle situations like this. :) —C.Fred (talk) 03:18, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't block anybody. I don't even know how to block editors on Wikipedia... It was you who blocked me. Brightstarrrr Brightstarrrr (talk) 20:54, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot edit the article anymore... Is it possible to unblock me? It is really unfair to delete important pieces of information from my version and then block me. I'm shocked. I'll take action. Brightstarrrr (talk) 21:00, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

C.Fred, did you see the difference between my version and the current one? Did you see how many pieces of information have been deleted without permission? The editors who should be blocked are the ones who delete information, not the ones who add information like me. Brightstarrrr (talk) 21:12, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Brightstarrrr: What I saw is that you persistently reverted to your preferred version and refused to discuss the matter on the talk page. You were restricted from editing articles directly to get you to engage with other editors and work toward WP:Consensus, as well as to make sure you listen to them about the problems in your edits, particularly the lack of accessibility and non-standard formatting. —C.Fred (talk) 01:58, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Definite Articles

The Rams is the team name as well as the the Raiders, the Green Bay Packers, the Dodgers, etc. If you want to include the city name then you get the Los Angeles Rams, the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Dodgers, etc. Why are these football teams different on English language Wikipedia? Sireliah (talk) 03:20, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This thread, including my reply, is at User talk:Sireliah#March 2022. —C.Fred (talk) 03:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The correct spelling is Raghuwanshi or Raghuvanshi. This is how it is pronounced in Sanskrit and Hindi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neha.thakur75 (talk • contribs) 04:40, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Neha.thakur75: You'll need to discuss that on the article's talk page, as well as present sources showing that is how it is spelled in English. —C.Fred (talk) 04:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just gave the evidence of the user who changed the spelling in Feb.
