Your note

Hi there Boolyme, I would recommend talking to the admin who originally declined your request. I don't think it would be a good idea (for either of us) if I were to approve your request only three or four days after it was declined. Best. Acalamari 16:37, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would depend: I noticed that vandalism and a block were mentioned as reasons for declining your request. If you do good work (edit articles!) for a week, maybe two, you may not even need to wait for a month before requesting again. Acalamari 16:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. :) Acalamari 18:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images.

The recent edit you made to Template:Sandbox has been reverted, as it removed all content from the page without explanation. Please do not do this, as it is considered vandalism; use the sandbox for testing. If you think the page should be deleted, see here for what to do. Thank you.

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:49, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

S'alright.

The main reason I reverted the other guy is he messed up the file link. If it's copyvio as well, so be it. Sort of odd it'd be here for five years without someone grabbing it, but I suppose the place has an assload of pics, too. HalfShadow 21:25, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Patna

Hi. I'd agree that the article talk page is the best place to discuss topics, and will do so there. I'll see if I can find some advice on the best way to describe hotels restaurants etc in a more neutral way - this was the problem with the article as I saw it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you have chosen to place a WP:3RR template on my talk page, rather than discussing the issue properly, I will no longer be willing to discuss the edits until you can tell me whether the edits by IP 192.17.199.95 were also made by you - if so (as I suspect), it is clearly you that is edit-warring. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:08, 5 February 2011 (UTC) AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore that too: but I will be seeking advice on the article. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sth about "Reliable source"

Hi there. As you told me that the source I provided for the article "Justin Bieber", is not a reliable, so I have few question going to ask you.

What is the definition of 'reliable source'?
The viewing count of a Youtube video is a actual fact, so how could the source I provided be unreliable?
Is that necessary to cite a source for any content? Andyso (talk) 12:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I clicked the wrong link. Sorry for the wrong warning message. I have undone my revert. Boolyme ^Chat!! 12:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rahul Dravid

Hiya Boolyme, I saw that you have undid one of my edits on the Rahul Dravid article. I apologize if this is my fault, as I am new to reviewing, but the reason I rejected the revision of that article was to prevent an anonymous (IP) user from removing a piece of information that has been there throughout previous accepted revisions, and without an edit summary. If you have other thoughts on this, please feel free to let me know! Angelo ♫ 22:42, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing and kind compliments. I have added the See Also section as you suggested and gone live. Basavanagudi Aquatic Centre. Should I remove the request for feedback now? I could not find any information regarding that. Nanda ramesh (talk) 06:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Dear Sir,

I would like to know as to why do you think my previous contribution to the Rahul Gandhi page was worthy of reversion. It was backed by strong factual citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parthpms (talk • contribs) 10:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can read WP:NPOV. Even though there have been many scandals, unless the exact knowledge comes in public domain, they can't be added as they are potentially libelous. Another thing is that you should discuss on talk page first if you are adding any information like this. Boolyme ^Chat!! 08:08, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is in the public domain, the only thing is that it is probably not widely publicized. Have a look at this link http://www.zeenews.com/news528156.html#

Warm Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parthpms (talk • contribs) 14:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article link which you gave talks about Rajiv Gandhi and not Rahul Gandhi. So, its unnecessary to include it in his page. Boolyme ^Chat!! 14:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Shree Betal temple

Hello Boolyme. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Shree Betal temple, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The subject of the article is a temple and is therefore not covered by CSD A7. Thank you. Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 17:49, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know whats the CSD code for temple articles. The basic fact is there are a million temples in India. Shree Betal is one amongst them. Its neither a notable temple nor does the article signifies its importance. There's one link at Vetala which mentions its name. But again, no reference is given for that. It has to be deleted, although under a different tag. Boolyme ^Chat!! 17:58, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are no speedy deletion criteria that cover buildings (see WP:NOTCSD #7). If you believe that it does not meet notability requirements you are free to pursue other deletion venues. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 18:25, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Veena Malik

before telling anyone else you must learn the administration, and if you cant handle leave it, Wikipedia is managed by user and if someone make any correction, It is not necessary to show your administration there, in that pic Veena Malik is third from right, and 5th from left is Pakistani Film actress Resham. Zeesolz (talk) 13:17, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have the following points that you should note- 1.Have you ever bothered to think what is the use of Discussion Page?. 2. Do you know what References mean? Have you ever bothered to put them while editing wikipedia. 3. The person 3rd from right can be Veena Malik. If you would have been a little less preaching in your advice that you have given free of cost here, you wouldn't have received so many warning messages on your talk page. Boolyme बूलीमी ^{Chat बोलो!!} 15:12, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed the rewrite of the image caption. I think it's much easier to count five people from the left than any number from the right given that on the right side of the image people aren't lined up.

I think this discussion would go smoother by following WP:NEWCOMER. --Ronz (talk) 17:41, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Lipstick lesbian

Hello Boolyme. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Lipstick lesbian, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. nancy 10:24, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Kunal majumder

Hello Boolyme, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kunal majumder, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: since you tagged it, enough has been added, in my view, to get it past A7. It still needs independent references: I will tag it accordingly and keep an eye. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 14:06, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to my knowledge of the Indian education system, Mr. Majumdar might be 23 years old now. He is working in Tehelka.com, an online news portal based in Delhi as a correspondent. Its his official duty to write reports. Now, as far as the references given in the article are concerned, 2 is from his website which he can edit at his own free will, 1 is the linkedin profile which even I have, 6 are from Tehelka.com which is his employer and rest 2 are other online sources which may have a tie-up with Tehelka.com. The facts i.e. Introduction, education and family are totally from his personal website. The page creation might have been done to improve the marketability of the Mr. Majumdar. Although I can't say this for sure.

Now, you tell me whether Wikipedia should carry a page of a 23-year old who has joined a company two years back and his journalistic contributions have not fetched any major third party references, awards or citations of any kind? Please reply. According to me, he doesn't have any credible claim of significance or importance. Boolyme बूलीमी ^{Chat बोलो!!} 14:52, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, we shouldn't. The question is whether there is enough "assertion of importance" to get him past A7, which is a much lower bar than "notability". In fact, now that I re-read it, I was probably wrong, misled by it being better wrtten than most NN bios - it doesn't, quite, even get over that bar. My apologies. However, I won't re-tag it now, I will watch for a few days and then PROD and if necessary AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's been PRODded by another editor, that will do. If anyone gives him a job on the basis of that article, with a "Notability" flag on top, they deserve what they get. And I don't agree with your giving him a #3 warning: we don't make people read the rules before they edit (I think we should, but that's another matter) so we shouldn't give them #3 warnings with threats of blocking until they have already had, and ignored, earlier warnings. Never mind, it's done, and the article will soon be gone. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:14, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question

You appear to still be very active, is there a particular reason why you have the "retired" template at the top of your page? --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 19:22, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

naah. nothing in particular. am i violating any rules? Boolyme बूलीमी ^{Chat बोलो!!} 22:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The retired template is meant to communicate to others that you are no longer active on Wikipedia; if that's not the case you should not have a template that misleads others when they come here to communicate with you. If you simply plan on being around less than you had previously then the 'semi-retired' template is more appropriate. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 01:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are a rollbacker, you can go to your contributions (link in my first post) and rollback all these edits. That's the simplest way to go about it. If you wait much longer then someone might make another edit and you'll have to go in and manually change/undo it. —SpacemanSpiff 19:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a tool by which I can rollback my previous 130 edits in one click? Otherwise, I will have to wake up whole night to do this :( :( Boolyme बूलीमी ^{Chat बोलो!!} 19:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's a user script, but there are restrictions on use, I'm not aware of the details or which users have it. —SpacemanSpiff 19:10, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I have noticed that you have commented on the talk page.

Though I have pointed out several times, apparently there are no standards for the first line as it is. I think you will be shown a haze of standards, asked to go though it and then clarify everything what you say.

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

Imagine Dragons (EP)

Just a heads-up that I reverted you here. That template's kind of a tricky one but my interpretation is that it'd be appropriate for an article full of sourced content, which nonetheless only had a single source. This particular article's different, in that it's full of unsourced content, and the fact that it only has a single source is due to it having only the one sourced statement (so {{refimprove}} and/or lots of {{fact}} tags is a better way to point out the problem). I'm aware I might be overcomplicating things though, and so was wondering your opinion? – hysteria18 (talk) 01:17, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Forced image sizes

Please stop adding forced image sizes to articles, as you keep doing at Save Indian Family Foundation. As it clearly states at WP:IMAGESIZE
Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px), which forces a fixed image width measured in pixels, disregarding the user's image size preference setting.
The bold is in the guideline, not something I have added. - Arjayay (talk) 16:10, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't hyperventilate. I have a problem with your usage of "you keep doing". Considering your hyperventilation, I think I have a better work offline than you do here. Wishing you long hyperventilation sessions keyboard volunteer.
