Speedy speedy

Hi Prahlad balaji, thanks for tagging the article HungerStation as speedy. I agree with the rationale! However, this is also a new editor and the first article. All other things equal, it's always good to give articles a little bit of a chance to see what editors make of it. Speedy tagging within 1 minute of creation seems excessively fast. Unless an article is defamatory, etc., it's always a good idea to let them sit for 10-15 mins and see what happens. I hope this makes sense. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 00:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jake Brockman, thanks for letting me know. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 00:13, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I actually realised that HungerStation is the local brand of Delivery Hero and is mentioned in that article. I redirected instead. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk

HungerStation is the most popular delivery food app in Saudi arabia and it used by many people which means it is popular and must be published in Wikipedia, i think there is no reason for the deletion of the article, given that i made some mistakes while editing and published it accidently without putting sources, developing ect.. so i think the page must be recovered

Aziz bm See the discussion above. The page has been retargeted. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 00:45, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talabat is similar to hungerstation and it's local brand is delivery hero, and it's article not redirected, so there is no clear reason to redirect the article, i recommend you to recover the page and give me full access to edit, adding sources ect...

As with draftifying, above, please do not be in such a hurry. As it says in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, "Contributors sometimes create pages over several edits, so administrators should avoid deleting a page that appears incomplete too soon after its creation." Give an editor a chance to add sources etc. The only cases which should be nominated for speedy deletion immediately after creation are those involving things like controversial BLP or clear vandalism. PamD 08:04, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

PamD, thanks for telling me. Jake Brockman told me above. --◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 12:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Prahlad balaji, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

HungerStation

I am shocked at what you did from the Hungerstation page, although until now there is no clear reason to retarget/redirect the page, given that Talabat has the same thing to HungerStation, it's local brand isHero delivery and it's article is still existing, also, the app is populary used in Saudi Arabia which means it must be published in Wikipedia, And excuse me if I bothered you, I am a new user and I did not create articles until I collected all the reliable sources Aziz bm (talk) 01:05, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aziz bm Please see WP:NOTABILITY. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:10, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

i was creating the page, i was going to add sources and develop it but suddenly i mistakenly published the page before completing it, so this is my reason to recover it, thanks

Aziz bm Then feel free to create a draft for it at Draft:HungerStation. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 01:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping, I've just edited the article, i will leave all the other things to be contributed by the editors, I will leave you the space to watch It and decide whether or not the page was worth publishing

All reports are valid on EFFPR

Hi! Re Remember to only report if the filter disallows your edit, not warns it.: all false positives should be reported so that the filters can be fixed. False warnings and tags can scare good-faith editors away and false positives make patrolling the edit filter log more annoying. – Majavah ^{talk · edits} 08:43, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Majavah, thanks. I reported a false positive earlier, but some people said that I should only report for disallows. Thanks for telling me. --◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 12:08, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hi Prahlad, I just wanted to say thank you for the Barnstar you gave me! 47.227.95.73 (talk) 15:18, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Change to my user name

Hi Prahlad! You made this edit to my user page, and I am all for it, and it looks like an edit I wanted to make anyway, and I am wondering why you did it. Is it some workflow I am unaware of? Just curious! Thanks for the edit anyway! :) --denny vrandečić (talk) 21:59, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Denny, please see Special:AbuseLog/27157251. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 22:27, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aah, gotcha! Thanks! Sorry for the extra work. --denny vrandečić (talk) 22:33, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Filter

Thanks Prahlad ji for helping with my earlier filter problem. Please help again on this anothe problem with the same filter. Short term, please apply navbox to those articles in the "See Also". For the long term, you could fix the filter in a way that it will parse the article namespace and article lede fields in database, and then will allow the insertion of banned words in the article if those words already exist in the article namespace or lede, or some similar rule. Thanks. 58.182.176.169 (talk) 00:34, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Phillip from PCPP

A tag has been placed on User:Phillip from PCPP requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Edit warring

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. NB: I am going to place this on the other editor's talk page too. Giraffer (munch) 10:58, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Giraffer, the user I was warring with is now blocked. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 10:59, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks. I will now remove this. Giraffer (munch) 11:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Slurp slurp - a beer for you!

		A beer on me!
		Hey! I saw you doing some great work at the edit filter :). Apologies for the edit warring notice, a lapse in my judgement... anyway keep it up! Regards, Giraffer (munch) 11:14, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Giraffer thanks :) I actually hope to become an edit filter helper next month ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 11:17, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Copyeditor's Barnstar
	Thank you for being kind, helpful, prompt, and encouraging! Thanks for the positive contributions. Khudos, keep it up. You're great! 58.182.176.169 (talk) 19:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC) )[reply]

Thanks! I appreciate it! ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 19:19, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Sandwich text

Genuinely curious, but what's the point of this template? Primefac (talk) 15:53, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac It's if you want to sandwich text B between text A. I was planning to use it for my archives, but I guess it doesn't work with big strings of text. I didn't request a self-delete, because I thought it could be useful someday. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 16:12, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removing CSD

Well, I explained it pretty well why I removed your prod nomination - the article Nicki_minaj_sample_songs is definitely not a PROD Candidate, it is a CSD A9. BTW: Quite unusual to use templates messaging twice for experienced editors like me but anyway. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:36, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

commanderWaterford What are you talking about? The article Nicki Minaj exists, and is notable, and I did not PROD it, but I AfD'd it. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:38, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prahlad balaji, I am talking about your false revert at Nicki_minaj_sample_songs and leaving an automated warning message at my talk page. AfD is not the correct way for this "article", it is a CSD Candidate. CommanderWaterford (talk) 17:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

CommanderWaterford, I don't think this applies for CSD A9, as Nicki Minaj is notable, and has a page. Please elaborate. Thanks, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:43, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Applying Appropriate CSD Tags

Right here you applied a G11 to a draft article which a “G11” did not apply. A G2 was okay, the G11 wasn’t, it’s a common practice amongst relatively new editors who aren’t sure of which tags to apply, apply multiple tags hoping one of them would stick. Just thought to let you know since you aren’t amongst the “relatively new editor” crew. Celestina007 (talk) 17:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Celestina007, thanks for telling me. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 17:32, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Checking edit choice

Hi, I'd like to check that your edit to the page Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista was not a mistake? From what I can tell, the More citations needed template is only meant for pages with no unreferenced material, and I believe all the material is referenced. I've reverted the edit, but if I'm wrong please let me know! Sparkledriver (talk) 21:48, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sparkledriver, how does {{more citations needed}} apply to pages with no unreferenced material? ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 21:51, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prahlad balaji Sorry silly typo - I meant it only applies to pages with unreferenced material! Sparkledriver (talk) 21:53, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sparkledriver Looks like there's an error on my part too - I thought some of the lead was unreferenced. Thanks for letting me know. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 21:55, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My talk page

Hi there! Just got thanked by you for my edit on my talk page, so I thought of dropping by and saying hi. Is it normal for user talk pages to get spammed randomly? I'm a relatively new user so its actually the first instance of random spamming that occurred. --Ashley yoursmile! 15:25, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ashleyyoursmile, there are a lot of instances where talkpages get spammed (not necessarily with spam links though, like in your case). For example, here and [1]. However, I haven't seen many spam links being inserted into talkpages, so your case is somewhat unique. Keep up the good work!

Clerking SPI

I realize that you're trying to be helpful but please refrain from clerking SPI and tagging socks - that is a task specifically meant for patrolling admins, clerks and checkusers. Praxidicae (talk) 11:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Prax, there appear to be actual confirmed socks. Please see Category: Wikipedia sockpuppets of Managerjamesh. Please clarify. Thanks. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 14:34, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what part of my statement to you about not clerking SPI - not a specific case, is unclear and in need of clarification? Praxidicae (talk) 14:48, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae ok, I won't clerk SPI. ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 21:14, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020 (removed edit - Katica Illenyi)

Hi Prahlad balaji,

How are you? I'm writing you regarding my edit of Katica Illenyi's page that was removed. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katica_Ill%C3%A9nyi) I'm a friend of the artist, Katica Illenyi, who asked me to improve and sort out her English wiki page. I would like to ask for you help, how should I start it, or what I did wrong previously. All the information I'd like to share comes from the artist herself.

Thanks for you time!

Kindest Regards, Lorant
