Hello wikipedia admin sir, thank you for creating a protected file for the page named Dhobi and again a request to report problems with the page.

The name on this page is Dhobi is a common name that is banned by court but it is not acceptable to have it as a title in a Wikipedia article and also the name of this community is Rajak but when it is said many times between administrators no one notices it.Please change the common name of this page to Rajak. https://m.thewire.in/article/law/calling-people-harijan-or-dhobi-is-offensive-supreme-court Rajathi 123 (talk) 02:47, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rajathi 123, do you have any connection to the user Baba God (talk · contribs)? Is "Baba God" your second account? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:41, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No sir we are same community but both are different state Rajathi 123 (talk) 11:50, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay. You have correctly chosen Talk:Dhobi for your request. However, the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial go a bit further than just creating a new section there. Please have a look at them and try again. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:15, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sir thank you. Rajathi 123 (talk) 14:40, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries; thank you for creating the move discussion. You have now been successful! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, it is sad that even some administrators do not accept this opinion, what is wrong in my question sir, can it be accepted if we register the name as an article that should not be mentioned by the court? Anyway thanks admin sir. Rajathi 123 (talk) 02:51, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rajathi 123, I may not fully understand the whole situation, but I think I can understand your concern. If I understand correctly, a court has decided that calling people X is offensive. Wikipedia has an article about X. The Wikipedia article describes people as X. So Wikipedia is offensive.

And that's a fine and understandable concern to have. Yet Wikipedia works differently: Wikipedia attempts to neutrally describe what reliable secondary sources say about a subject. People might find some of the described things offensive, but a neutral encyclopedia doesn't care much about such feelings.

This can be disappointing, but I can only attempt to explain the situation; I can't change it. I'm actually pretty content with this situation and not interested in changing it. I, too, value a neutral description of what reliable secondary sources say higher than individual readers' feelings.

Nevertheless: All the best.

Once more, it comes down to the definition of Far-Right. You are describing Ms. Moon as a Racist neo-Nazi according to Wikipedia's definition of Far-Right. It is not a about hurt feelings, but if I were Ms. Moon, I would sue you for libel. Words have meaning and I don't care how many so-called sources you have that misuse the words. You need to do what is right at this point. Taxmiester (talk) 23:46, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rajathi 123: No, that’s not how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia does not go by your personal opinions but by reputable academic journals. Please take a look at our guidelines WP:RS, WP:RAJ and WP:HISTRS for more information. Thanks. (talk page watcher). Dr.Pinsky (talk) 16:03, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the standard accepted definition of Far-Right. Taxmiester (talk) 14:18, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello sir I have a doubt that is which Yadav community are herdsmen it has herdsman in the title of their article, another one potter but they have kulala like this every community has profession but caste is not mentioned focusing on that profession what is the purpose of mentioning only in this article? Rajathi 123 (talk) 04:02, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I only assert this opinion with all evidence and not my personal opinion https://books.google.co.in/books?id=6h2Gm1gPZZQC&pg=PT1212&dq=dhoba+caste&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixv9rU8c3yAhVNyGEKHYIwDIU4ChDoAXoECAIQAw#v=onepage&q=dhoba%20caste&f=false Although Dhobi is a myth not to be pronounced by the court, the name has nothing to do with the people as a whole Rajathi 123 (talk) 04:06, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even now they are uploading an unnecessary image in this article and the court banned this name on the basis that all the people who see it will get the impression that their activities are similar. https://m.thewire.in/article/law/calling-people-harijan-or-dhobi-is-offensive-supreme-court Rajathi 123 (talk) 04:10, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dr.Pinsky, you may like to have a look at your Wikimedia Commons preferences: The "Gadgets" section contains the helpful "Quick Delete" tool. I have just used it to tag the file as lacking permission and to automatically notify the uploader. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:23, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ongoing BLP edit war at Dorothy Moon

I feel an admin should step in at Dorothy Moon. I tried to get the page protected, at least while the WP:BLPN discussion is ongoing, but the responding admin was reluctant to do so the day before elections. It is now the day after and the one who opened the discussion is still trying to keep that content off the page. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:18, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skywatcher68, thank you very much for the notification. The disruption seems to come from one specific user, Taxmiester, who seems to have been edit warring before creating an account, and who seems to have continued afterwards. I have reminded them about what had already been written at User_talk:2604:2D80:DF80:F600:5CBC:9F78:E0EC:40F on their account's talk page now, and I'll keep an eye on the situation. It doesn't seem to be a case requiring page protection even if the edit warring continues; blocking would be a more effective measure. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:28, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It takes two to war. Also, you left the misinformation up through the election. Well done! Read my notes and tell me why you think it is okay to label Ms. Moon as a racist neo-Nazi? The definition of Far-Right and extremist is a topic in Wikipedia. I'm just asking to follow the definition being published by Wikipedia. Taxmiester (talk) 23:41, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Taxmiester, there's no discussion on the article's talk page yet. Please re-read the advice I had provided on your talk page, then create a discussion there. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:48, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the term Far-Right on Dorothy Moon page

It takes two to war. Also, you left the misinformation up through the election. Well done! Read my notes and tell me why you think it is okay to label Ms. Moon as a racist neo-Nazi? The definition of Far-Right and extremist is a topic in Wikipedia and is the accepted definition of Far-Right and Extreme-Right. I'm just asking to follow the definition being published by Wikipedia and many other respected sources. People publishing op-eds misusing a term like Far-Right does not make the use here creditable.

Per Wikipedia and many other sources: "Historically used to describe the experiences of Fascism, Nazism, and Falangism, far-right politics now include neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, the Third Position, the alt-right, racial supremacism, National Bolshevism (culturally only) and other ideologies or organizations that feature aspects of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and/or reactionary views."
