Kudmi Mahato articles related problem

Kudmi Mahato are not tribal community, kudmi mahato are obc community in india. You can see Indian government obc list. In india only those communities which are in ST(Scheduled Tribe) list are called tribal, Kudmi(mahato) community are OBC(Other Backward Classes) in everywhere in india. I wanted to remove tribal from first line in Kudmi Mahato article , but itsmejamie always prevent me and support spammer who provided false information about kudmi mahato. Please help me c fred and please remove tribal word from first line in Kudmi Mahato page article, it is my humble request to you Indian Mahato (talk) 05:32, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Indian Mahato You'll need to discuss that at Talk:Kudmi Mahato, present reliable sources for the change, and get consensus for the change. —C.Fred (talk) 11:53, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Although on a closer look, you aren't removing "tribal" from the first line, you're removing an image, and it appears you've been blocked once before for doing this. —C.Fred (talk) 11:55, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

for deleting a wiki page that I just spent 3 hours on gstark (talk) 03:55, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism in Lango article Ateker article

@ C. Fred please if you have time look in to the articles above, lots of editors have brought original research showing that Lango group belong to Lango race collectively known as Ateker group and there are so much work put on these articles because Wikipedia called editors to improve these. However one called Cookiemonster1618 he is removing all the evidence bringing the work back to square one. Please look to see whether he can get blocked. What he is putting there is not consistent. ThanksNgunalik (talk) 19:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ngunalik If users have been introducing original research into the Wikipedia articles and Cookiemonster1618 is removing it, then CM1618 is acting according to policy. Normally I would say this is a content dispute and should be discussed at the relevant articles' talk pages, but since there is a WP:ANI report about you, you should also give an explanation there about why you think CM1618's edits are disruptive. —C.Fred (talk) 03:06, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred Thanks for your response. 1618 is removing evidence, extensive researched references placed by several editors over months of work. He is acusing me for doing this, but if you look carefully, these articles have lots of work contributed by several editors. 1618 has no any proof about the Lango or Kumam grouping, he is saying that they are not Ateker but provide no any evidence to substantiate this. You look at these articles for consistency and see what 1618 has done. Ngunalik (talk) 03:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ngunalik Based on the edits you described at ANI, 1618's edits are based on reliable sources, while your edits are based on sources that are not reliable. —C.Fred (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are the list of "non reliable sources I have put up". Also be aware that most languages are still being researched properly especially when the language group were very few long time ago and had few literate scholars of their own. They are coming up and you look through the lists I posted on the other discussion you will see there are primary research work and academicians are taking note of these. 18:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)~~ Ngunalik (talk) 18:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ngunalik The one edit I found with a source explicitly cited was to an unreliable article. —C.Fred (talk) 21:05, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred if only one source then you can see why it was un-necessary that I got so attacked. I had just started editing something on that day and made it clear that I had not completed what I wanted to do with regards to references. Did you see my comments on the review? However the other editor 1618 just deleted the work in a hurry. Then threatened saying I must not add anything to those articles. Ngunalik (talk) 00:28, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ngunalik To clarify, the one edit was the only edit I found with a source. Other edits, the sources were not there, or were not obvious for review. —C.Fred (talk) 01:38, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred then I do not know about that because I have added references before in that Article some times back but several people edited after me and changed the grammer or added other references afterwards. On the last day, I had only started that bit as stated earlier on. Several months ago I was adding references but I am not sure whether all are still there. For instance the reference about Nilo-Hamites I added that. Which article are you pointing to? Ngunalik (talk) 09:47, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Currently busy but I will find some time and look through these articles again at some point. To say that this one citation is the ONLY reference I have ever put in there, it is not true. I have an article on Wiki which I started and brought lots of references, most times people blocked them, changed them etc. You cannot be in control of what people do with references.

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello C.Fred:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

area code 440

Would you please revert the article to the single code title. The policy has been to use only codes that are activated in the network in area code article titles. Often in the past have planned relief actions been canceled, delayed, or changed. The newly assigned or reserved codes are accounted for by links to the main article, with perhaps some prose about future action in the history section. kbrose (talk) 19:56, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
