E-mails
You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.
Broadcasted
The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B
Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".
A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.
Your email
Thanks for the emails - I don't mind them, but in this case I think it would be fine to file the accounts at SPI. WP:BEANS can be an issue with some sockmasters, but this one doesn't seem particularly competent, and filing a SPI case makes it easier for lazy people (like me) to tag the accounts and request global locks. Spicy (talk) 20:23, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
- OK Spicy - I just hate telling the socks how they were tracked down - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 20:25, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar |
Thank you for your edit on the article i created i appreciate your help have a great day. Untether (talk) 17:19, 16 January 2024 (UTC) |
The Zamorin page was protected for good, but anonymous IP vandalized it just before the protection applied.
I had requested protection for the Zamorin page because an anonymous user kept vandalizing it, and the protection was granted by admin. But just before it was applied, the anonymous IP made a final edit which reverted the page back to his own version before the Talk Page discussions.
The agreed lead was that the Zamorins were "originally Samantha Eradi chiefs of Eranad", which is what is listed in both sources attached to the sentence.
He has removed that entire paragraph, plus the other edits of other users, and reverted it to his own version.
Would you be able to revert the page to any of the previous versions by any of the other editors before the anonymous IP vandalized it? HölderlinRem1 (talk) 05:59, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- The anonymous IP had been vandalizing other pages too, like the Samantan page, but that was quickly reverted by user Outlander07, who also mentioned that he was a sock puppet of Adithya Kiran. I mentioned the same in the Zamorin page. HölderlinRem1 (talk) 06:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have responsibly edited the lead section to remove unsourced caste promotion and redundant content.
- Talk section is also added for constructive discussion where he is not engaging with references and sources, rather accusing other users who oppose his caste promotions.
- It is important to note that his blatant accusations against me have been previously reviewed and dismissed by moderators. I urge you to refrain from repeating these unfounded claims and focus on constructive dialogue to enhance the article’s quality. 2600:4040:4527:3B00:BD5D:7C85:3ABA:7D42 (talk) 08:24, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have no idea why you have contacted me I am not an Admin and I know nothing about the Zamorin. My 2 edits to that page were to correct a spelling error in 2021 and remove a duplicate word in 2013 - you don't need to know about a subject to correct such errors. I see you have both edited the talk page, which is the correct place for such a discussion. - Arjayay (talk) 09:12, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I have tagged some admins for their view on the page. The anonymous IP keep deleting the origins of the Zamorin, and replacing it with the same "final king committed suicide and burnt himself" line. The fate of one king is not a summary of the article at all, and should not be in the lead. The origins of the dynasty are far more important, and he keep deleting it.
- This entire discussion, which has been going on for 2 months, is only because of that 1 sentence: the Zamorin was originally the Samantha Eradi chief of Eranad, before becoming the Zamorin.
- Both sources state this, and the anonymous IP himself accepted this, which is how we got to an agreed lead in December 2023.
- Now he's back with another anonymous IP, and reverting it back to what it was before the December 2023 discussions. Is that how it's done?
- I asked for page protection for this very reason, and it was granted by admin. But the anonymous IP sneaked in a final revert before the protection was applied. HölderlinRem1 (talk) 09:32, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- The requested line has been re-added with sources, so the lead is now complete. Thank you, we can finally close this discussion. HölderlinRem1 (talk) 10:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk page
Shouldn't we remove the forumy and outright racist stuff from this talk page written by the socks? The ones where other users like Sitush and Anupam have replied can be struck off. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:33, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Fylindfotberserk 2 of the last 5 edits to that talk page were me deleting inappropriate posts. Having said which, the problem can be defining what exactly is "unacceptable" / "forumy" / "racist", and what is just unsourced PoV, without the editor imposing their own PoV. I am not a fan of deletions, but that page has posts going back to 2014, so archiving it leaving say the last 4 or 5 posts, might help ? - Arjayay (talk) 10:43, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- hello , you said that my stuff wasn't sourced but here am gonna provide all the sources for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabad_massacres
- sources:
- https://muslimmirror.com/eng/the-first-genocide-of-muslims-in-independent-india-is-celebrated-each-year-on-september-17/
- The largest concentration of Hyderabadi Muslims is in the old city of Hyderabad. After the Partition of India and the Incorporation of Hyderabad by India, the Muslims of the state lost their privileged status, so significant numbers chose to migrate to other countries such as Pakistan, the Arab States of the Persian Gulf, the United States, UK, Canada and Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyderabadi_Muslims#Demographics_and_distribution

- Yes, archiving might be useful. We can keep this one and the following ones. Posts before those are full of those stuff. Will you do the honors? These people are living in the past, incorrigible, despite a lot of researches coming up. Anyway. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:13, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Morton B Panish Wikipedia Entry
Arajay, you removed the edits my father requested because there are no references for them. It's not possible to cite references since these are for the most part personal information added at the time of my mother's death. Since no one has written a biography with this information (and no one is likely to do so) this becomes an impossible Catch-22 for addding any personal information to a biographical page. I have looked at the Wikipedia references about citation requirements, and they would seem to allow these edits as there is absolutely nothing controversial about them. In any case, I have no intention of becoming an expert on contributions to Wikipedia as I have other interests/obligations that take up my time. I have long donated to this cause, but I must admit, this experience is making me reconsider continuing with those donations. Ppanish (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, Ppanish, but Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's three Core content policies, and this cannot be side-stepped, or overlooked.
Although "You don't need to cite that the sky is blue", most of, if not everything, you added to Morton B. Panish does need citations, from reliable, independent sources. Imagine if you had read something totally false in our article about your father, which had been allowed because "no one has written a biography with this information (and no one is likely to do so)".
As for your past donations, I thank you on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation, but whether you donate, or not, does not influence whether you can break the rules, or not. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 18:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)- What this leads to is a completely 2 dimensional representation of anyone who has not had the advantage of someone writing a full biography (a book, not a Wikipedia entry) on their behalf. That is a disservice to the individual involved, and to the reader interested in the persons background and character development.
- You can pass this on to whoever you wish if you think it worthwhile.
- Even though this is my father, I'm not interested in dealing with the bureaucracy at Wikimedia to try and get this resolved differently. However I will certainly not look to Wikipedia for anything regarding personal characteristics, or anything biographical for that matter, since Wikimedia's policies ensure an inaccurate representation for anything beyond the most narrow depiction of personality.

I blocked the /64 for the IP you reported here. Hoping that will hold for a while, since the /64s look pretty static, but please feel free to give me a ping if they pop up on this network again. I should be able to turn off the underlying range with next to no collateral. --Blablubbs (talk) 14:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Blablubbs - as can be seen from the contributions from those ranges, there are almost no other edits. Thanks again - Arjayay (talk) 14:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
User:The Other Karma
Given the concerns being raised by multiple contributors at Talk:Effects of pornography on young people over The Other Karma's poor grasp of the English language, and what I see as the inadequacy of their response, I have started a thread at WP:ANI. You may wish to comment. [1] AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Ilvvia
i get the editor was disruptive and i by no means deserved a barnstar (especially a teamwork barnstar) for switching 2 letters around but no need for this haha [2] Dialmayo (talk) (Contribs) she/her 23:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Dialmayo. If you really want a barnstar from a blocked sock-puppet on your talk page, please feel free to revert my deletion. I removed it as per WP:BANREVERT "Anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a ban, without giving any further reason" - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 11:47, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- wasnt so much about the barnstar as i thought you might've just carpetbombed this guys's contribs, your reasoning makes sense though Dialmayo (talk) (Contribs) she/her 12:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Edits
I hope this message finds you well. I've recently been contributing to the Maryam Kalali page on Wikipedia. I've noticed that some of my edits have been reverted, and I would like to understand more about this so I can improve my contributions. Firstly, I want to express my appreciation for your dedication to maintaining the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia. It's community members like you who make Wikipedia a reliable resource for everyone. I understand that maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia is crucial, and that includes ensuring all edits are well-sourced and comply with Wikipedia's guidelines. To the best of my knowledge, I have tried to adhere to these standards by providing appropriate references and sources. However, since my edits have been reverted, I suspect I might be missing some key aspects of Wikipedia's guidelines or the specific requirements for this article. Could you please provide some specific feedback or guidance on what aspects of my edits did not meet the necessary criteria? This will be incredibly helpful for me to understand where I went wrong and how I can correct it. If there are particular policies or guidelines I should pay more attention to, I would be grateful if you could point me towards them. I am eager to learn and contribute positively to the Wikipedia community. I believe that through constructive dialogue, we can both work towards enhancing the accuracy and quality of the [Article Name] page. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon and hope we can collaborate effectively to improve this valuable resource. Best regards, 81.106.6.140 (talk) 10:24, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- As has repeatedly been explained on your talk page, your edits are not from a neutral point of view, including phrases such as "This remarkable blend of artistic, linguistic, and groundbreaking achievements underscores her distinct and progressive persona" "Shahabi's lineage is steeped in history", "Her maternal ancestry is equally illustrious" - these are not encyclopedic language. They may be taken from a source, but cherry-picking comments from a source that uses such promotional phraseology, is not editing from a neutral point of view. This is not just my opinion, User:Discospinster is an administrator, and has reverted your additions 5 times. You are currently in breach of the 3 revert rule which would have led to your being blocked if you had been forewarned about it. I have, therefore, just issued that warning on your talk page. Please read and follow the links in that notice. - Arjayay (talk) 11:39, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
