FIFA World Cup

Hey there. I think I'm having a little difficulty. I will have this content in bold and I hope you agree with me that it's not needed when it comes to specific countries at the FIFA World Cup.

The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II.

The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month. The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final.

For a specific country (e.g. Germany) this content is unnecessary. There are many countries like Spain that do not have this content. So I feel like I have been treated poorly. This even led to me losing rollback rights after I reverted someone's reversion of my edits. I think it is unfair because they are incorrectly reverting my edits if countries like Spain don't have the bolded text. I wonder when I can get the rollback rights back. It even led me to a 31-hour block just for removing unnecessary content.

Any comments?

Greetings

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

My name is Shubhashish Chandra Bodhopadhya and I live in Chennai, India. I am chartered accountant with five kids, two boys(Gujrath Bodhopadhya and Mohan Bodhopadhya) and and three girls (Aisha, Nadia and Ulrika). My wife, Sneha works in the government police department. My question to you is how is Wikipedia planning to expand Indian-related articles in English version? I want to cover up the numerous sexual violence and assaults present in this country. I am looking forward to work as journalist in NDTV.

Please reply on my talk page,

Thanks in advance,

Yxng Bane

Hello. This may not be your area of expertise but maybe a talk page stalker who also happens to be an admin might see this. There has been persistent vandalism on Yxng Bane (changing of the subject's name) which is still occurring. There is a protection request at the RFPP, but it's been out there for several hours which is not typical so I am taking a long shot here.
On an completely unrelated note, the photos on your user page are stunning. I spend more than I should on premium bird food and purposefully plant things in my yard that attract both bees and butterflies. Anyway, thanks for sharing them. S0091 (talk) 03:37, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

please unprotect Justdial's wiki page

Hi

I saw you semi-protected Justdial's wiki page on 9th december. I am the head of marketing of justdial and need to update wrong information there. Partciularly the one related to Google acquiring justdial, that's fake information. Please unprotect the page so that i can change the info.

Thanks Aranya Choudhury — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aranya27 (talk • contribs) 08:25, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

@Aranya27: I've removed the part about Google and commented on the user talk page, please make further comment there. As a company representative you must review and comply with WP:COI and WP:PAID(the latter is a Terms of Use requirement). 331dot (talk) 08:56, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

@331dot: Thanks for the change. Yes I will keep in mind about the compliance regarding COI. In the meanwhile, could you please help with the name of the founder.

1. In the first paragraph it is wrongly spelled as "Justdial was founded by Venkatachalam Sthanu Subramani Mani, better known as V.S.S. Mani". It should simply be "Justdial was founded by V.S.S. Mani" or "Justdial was founded by Venkatachalam Sthanu Subramani, better known as V.S.S. Mani"

2. Also in the inception bit, "Justdial was founded in the year 1996 by V.S.S. Mani N.B, M.B," should be "Justdial was founded in the year 1996 by V.S.S. Mani" The N.B,M.B need to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aranya27 (talk • contribs) 09:33, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

George Ciamba page edit

Hello, I saw that you've deleted/reverted the changes I have made to Mr. Ciamba's wikipedia page and I am not sure what was the reason for it. I have updated the information to better reflect Mr Ciamba's current status of minister delegate for European Affairs, and all the information was coming from the official page of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was cited as a source (and where I work).

Can you please tell me how to go about having an updated page of George Ciamba, with a current photo and all the other relevant information (that we've put there, but you eliminated)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.113.29.18 (talk) 10:53, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Recent message you left in relation to "Recent edit to Louis Briffa"

Hello, just saw the message you sent in relation to the above-mentioned subject.

All the information I inserted is factual and correct. Louis Briffa is my partner, he recently changed job and published a new book titled "Bil-Boqxiex" in March 2018. A simple google search should confirm information about his new book, however there is no mention on the internet that he changed job because that is something personal.

Kindly advise accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grz979 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Re: revert of recent edit to VMware

Sigh. I'm afraid there's no nonprimary source and probably no citable source. Ellen Wang is a transgender woman and that is her current legal name.

I can think of a number of ways to make this work. For example, someone can add a page for her ala Lynn Conway.

Suggestions? Thanks!

Important information in regards to an editor you blocked recently

Greetings, I come to your talk page to inform you that a pair of weeks ago I created a Sockpuppet Investigation [2] that involves an editor you blocked recently called Wikiedro [3] and an IP account (blocked by you aswell)[4]. The behaviour for which you blocked him (edit warring using his account, then editing with an IP to make it seem as if more people supported his posture) as well as the kind of information he wants to remove with his edits are very similar to the ones I documented on my case, which involves at least other four accounts and several IPs, my case was archived back then due "lack of evidence" but given said recent events I would like to request a second opinion from you.

Hi Materialscientist, thank you for reverting an unsourced addition in the article Vishwa Jit Gupta on March 12th. Unfortunately, IPs keep restoring the unsourced, revisionist and whitewashing version of that article. Now it's the IP 73.194.8.173. So could you please help me to have an eye on that article? Maybe it will be best to block not only this IP, but also to block the article for changes done by IPs in general, what do you think?

Would you consider RDing this IP's edits per WP:REVDEL#2? EvergreenFir (talk) 18:28, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

/* History */ The nature of the relationship created when a card is issued.

I received your message about the unsourced paragraph I entered and it has been referenced. I want to point you to the very next paragraph after the one I added which reads "The original purpose of this number was to track individuals' accounts within the Social Security program. It has since come to be used as an identifier for individuals within the United States," Two problems with this statement: 1. The social security account name, number and card is a trust and agency business of the United States Government (corporate governance). It takes more than one person to form a trust therefore, it cannot be an individual. 2. There is no provision in the Act (or authority in the Law) to track people and the Act states that the number distinguishes the trust from any other person of a similar sounding name. Trusts are persons according to Black's Law Dictionary, every edition. They can sue and be sued in a court of law. 3. The statement needs clarification of these facts because it is ambiguously misleading. The single most important thing any American can do today is clarify the nature of the relationship that takes place when the SSA issues a card to avoid the jeopardy of being a subject of a corporate system of governance instead of the sovereign man or woman they were intended to be. All authority in government, State and Federal, comes from the People through the Constitutions.

Beach Blanket Babylon edit was correct, please restore

Hello,

I apologize for not explaining my edit. I have done several edits, this was the first one I have been queried about. The line I removed was in fact describing a character that has since been removed from the show as a new feature. I also clarified the "female narrator" line as it doesn't describe the characters or the show at all.

I would appreciate if you restore the change I made, and I will leave explanations in the future.

Yours,
