Naqshbandi

This page has become what appears to be an ideological battleground. Do you have any idea what’s really going on, or how consensus can be reached? Nick Levine (talk) 08:00, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Looks like someone is trying to promote himself as the rightful heir of the Naqshbandi order. I'm not too familiar with the matter and only reverting the edits as promotional and unsourced. — kashmīrī ^TALK 13:56, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Your recent edits to Siddha Yoga and Kulfi

Please read Wikipedia:Civility. The tone of your recent edits has violated these guidelines. From the other entries on this Talk page, I see other editors have also pointed this out. If this issue is not addressed, I will have to escalate it. Thank you. - Ram1751 (talk) 23:02, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

To all my page stalkers: here are the diffs, please judge yourselves. Cheers, — kashmīrī ^TALK 23:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Call me a stalker, but I somewhat agree - your tone is sometimes unprofessional. Example: "So what?" in your revision. You seem to have immense experience in editing, and your revisions would be much more educative if you point to the relevant guidelines in a professional and constructive manner. Another example: "To all my page stalkers" LifeDancePro (talk) 03:54, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

@LifeDancePro: Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, policy names in edit summaries [1] don't seem sufficient[2] for that editor, only descriptive summaries worked[3]. Btw, you pasted a wrong link (no "so what" in it).

Re. the term "talk page stalker", there's nothing derogatory in it. — kashmīrī ^TALK 08:44, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

There was nothing remotely unprofessional in the responses: this is an encyclopedia and people ought to have bare minimum clue about what an encyclopedia is, before committing such ridiculous edits. TrangaBellam (talk) 12:25, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, TrangaBellam. Also worth noting that Ram1751 was warned long ago by Chiswick Chap about precisely the type of edits I had to revert now. LifeDancePro: How much time do you think other editors should spend on monitoring Ram's edits? — kashmīrī ^TALK 15:02, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Question

Dear Kashmiri, could you please check if Uri de Beer deserve an entry ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:ED0:5FDA:8400:75E4:81EE:5F6B:178D (talk) 17:40, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Language and writing style are good, but sourcing is relatively weak – e.g., there are many unsourced statements re. facts of her life, very few of the listed sources are in English, and also there are is no in-depth coverage even though her activity spans almost two decades. Personally, I wouldn't nominate the article for deletion as it stands, but some editors may. — kashmīrī ^TALK 18:33, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

DaxServer, Thanks, will take a look. Please revert me if I made a mistake. Just the list kept growing, and since the original Mahabharata has literally thousands of characters, and the series is going to likewise, I thought it good to put a stop somewhere. But as I wrote, feel free to revert. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:11, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, the cast-list is ever growing and definitely should put a stop at some point at Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE. There's one sockpuppetry that I know of - w:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1090#LTA sockpuppetry, puffery of Karna of Mahabharata - you probably may have heard of it. I don't have much experience with the TV CAST either. So, I won't be able to do much edits/reverts related to the cast, unless it's clear POV/socking. Have fun ;) — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Interesting, didn't know of that one. I hardly ever sway into the film/tv area. This editor in turn edits various characters, especially those linked to Dushasana. He/she also struggles with wiki syntax, so could be a new editor. And they edit only as IP: 103.216.213.40 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 103.216.213.41 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), and 103.216.213.46 (talk · contribs · WHOIS)). — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:28, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Kashmiri, Sorry I'll login as u say but plz don't block 103.216.213.41 (talk) 09:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

@103.216.213.41:: It's not about logging in. It's about your editing pattern and edit warring. When you make an edit and someone reverts it, there is usually a reason for this, and you should never try to do the same edit again. Instead, check their edit summary and try to work around identified problems. You can use the respective article's Talk page to discuss your proposed edits.

Also, please do not make any changes to articles without explaining WHY you are making those changes. This is an collaborative project and if you are removing text created by other editors, you MUST explain why your version would be better.

Finally, I see that you resumed your disruptive editing, now to Vikarna. If you continue the same way as before, you will be blocked for much longer. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:41, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

No, you added two more names to the list, even though they have no articles on Wikipedia and even though this would bring the total number of siblings to 102 (should be 100). So, your edit wasn't helpful at all, and instead was confusing to the reader. — kashmīrī ^TALK 11:31, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Balochistan, Pakistan

You have reverted my edit by claiming that my numbers are not true i.e. 35% of the population of balochistan consists of Baloch. So I am quoting from the document:

total population of balochistan (2) = 12,335,129

baloch population in balochistan (7) = 4,377,825

percentage of baloch population in balochistan = 4,377,825 / 12,335,129 * 100 ≈ 35.4%

Also, these are the same numbers which are found in the language section of the same article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.39.64.129 (talk) 17:20, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Nope. The document only lists people by mother tongue, not by ethnicity. As much as some people may conflate the two, they are not the same in sociology. — kashmīrī ^TALK 17:50, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

This document[4] from PBS on page 42 gives information somewhat conflicting with the document you referred to. — kashmīrī ^TALK 17:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

They both come from the same census (2017) and are the same numbers.

your source [4]: "A majority speaks Balochi language, whereas Pushto speaking people are 35.34 percent and Brahvi language is spoken by nearly 17.12 percent."

my source: 35.4% baloch, 35.3% pashto, 17.4% brahvi, 13% others

these are the same numbers from the source I attached 185.39.64.129 (talk) 18:29, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Adding Russia to the List of designated terrorist groups

Hi, I am new to wiki editing, even more to discussing edits, so please let me know if this is a wrong place. Recently I made the following change: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_designated_terrorist_groups&oldid=1090706295

And you reverted it and pointed out that Russia is not a group.

However, I want to challenge you on this a bit:

first of all, the section of the page that I edited is titled "Organizations currently officially designated as terrorist by various governments"
According to wiki:
- organization is an entity—such as a company, an institution, or an association—comprising one or more people and having a particular purpose.
- A country is a distinct territorial body, a state, nation, or other political entity.
- A state is a centralized political organization
So it seems like a country falls under the definition of organization, thus I suggest to add Russia to that wiki page, as designated by Lithuania.

What do you think? Your help is appreciated.

Chloe.dublin (talk) 22:41, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Chloe.dublin, let me clarify: this list article is about organisations that have been formally designated as terrorists. An organisation – on Wikipedia, but also in common usage – is distinct from country or state, at least in the meaning accepted on English Wikipedia. Arguing otherwise is quite a stretch. Additionally, in this case, this was a parliamentary resolution while as you might know, parliamentary resolutions are not acts of law and have no bearing on the laws. — kashmīrī ^TALK 00:36, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

"Deputy" to the Polish President issue

Hi, recently I made some edits to the Polish President's Wikipedia article, specifically where I have labeled the Marshal of the Sejm as the Polish President's "deputy", but you seem to disagree stating that "Deputy is not the same as Ad interim" or that "Acting official does not mean Deputy official". Let me explain the following: the dictionary definition of a "deputy" is "someone appointed as the substitute of another, and empowered to act for them, in their name or their behalf" and the Sejm Marshal fits that description as the constitutional substitute for the Polish President as per Article 131 of the Polish Constitution which states that the Sejm Marshal becomes Acting President of Poland during both temporary and absolute absences of the President of Poland. Let me explain the following: The role of a deputy of a country's President varies by jurisdiction, Wikipedians at the very least define three basic categories of deputies to a country's President: first is the category of "Vice President" which is a standalone office existing for deputizing or replacing a President, second is the category of "Designated Acting President" which deputizes or replaces a President by holding another separate office, and third is the category of "Presidential Commission" (like the one in Ireland) which is essentially a collective version of a Designated Acting President (Note: this of course excludes countries whose Presidents have no deputies or assigned substitutes and instead a new President or Acting President has to be elected or appointed immediately, such as in the case of the President of Ethiopia). In a number of jurisdictions where there is a Vice President (such as the U.S. and Brazilian Vice Presidents), the Vice President usually becomes "Acting President" (where they are just temporarily assuming the duties and powers of the presidency of their countries when the official President is not available and do not assume the full Office of President in their own right) during temporary absences and become the "Official" President during absolute absences (meaning they are now officially occupying the Office of President for the remainder of the "original" President's term). However, some Vice Presidents (such as the Vice President of India) and most Designated Acting Presidents are usually only assigned by the local constitutions to serve as "Acting President" until a new "Official" President can be elected in case of absolute absence, but are also assigned to become "Acting President" during temporary absences (such as travel, illness, etc.) and even during certain occasions they might not assume all powers and duties of the country's President, but instead "deputise" for the President by performing on the President's behalf merely tasks that require the President's physical presence, such as the signing of documents. So the Marshal of the Sejm is the constitutional deputy of the Polish President in that sense of the word. 213.100.221.182 (talk) 15:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Tim Hayward (political scientist). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 14:44, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm not at all sure, because I explicitly agreed to self-revert, and was actually typing edit summary on the revert when the block came. — kashmīrī ^TALK 14:59, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

You're right, and I've unblocked you. I thought I had seen your argument about it not being two reverts, but obviously I did something wrong. You can now do what you said you would, which is self- revert. My apologies for my oversight: the block log is clear that the block was "erroneous".--Bbb23 (talk) 15:07, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@Bbb23: I support the unblock, but strangely, I have seen the same argument and I'm still not sure that kashmīrī understands that they violated the 1R restriction. M.Bitton (talk) 15:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Kashmiri, it's still fairly early in the morning in my time zone, but thanks. Is M.Bitton right? Do you still not understand how you violated 1RR? In the midst of all this, I had been about to post a detailed explanation here but edit-conflicted, which then caused me to unblock, so I didn't post the explanation. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, if you wish, I can still do so.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:21, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry about the lost text. And yes, enjoy the entire day, then! I originally missed the part whether involving the same or different material (WP:3RR) and understood (wrongly as it turns out) "one revert" as referring to repeatedly reverting the same edit, i.e., a classical edit war. Whereas going by the strict reading of the 1RR policy brings such misunderstandings as mine – it becomes impossible to remove more than one controversial passage on a day, even in case of different controversial statements inserted by different editors. I'll keep it in mind from now on, but it might be worth to review the policy one day. Cheers, — kashmīrī ^TALK 15:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Context

For the record, that IP was already warned about personal attacks and civility, and they still continued doing it. That's why when they started doing it in other articles as well, I reverted the clear WP:FORUM comment "addition" [5]. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 09:50, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

I saw it, but since you removed only selected sentences, including some that discussed the content, it felt like censorship and also went against WP:TPO in my opinion: Removing other's posts... generally does not extend to messages that are merely uncivil; deletions of simple invective are controversial. Posts that may be considered disruptive in various ways are another borderline case and are usually best left as-is or archived.. I placed a level-3 warning on the IP editor's Talk. If they continue, we can move to level 4 and then a block. But hope they will stop. — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:55, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

I just reverted their last 3 edits, which felt WP:FORUM to me. I didn't revert the initial comment because it wasn't WP:FORUM like, though I'm not sure how a 30 edit IP randomly finds and joins a discussion between me and another user which still awaits a WP:THIRD reply. Also, I'm not sure how a 30 edit IP knows/uses "OR" in their first edit summary, not even original research just OR. Clearly shows this is someone familiar with Wikipedia, probably a sock or something. Regardless, thanks for the help. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 10:04, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I agree they clearly have WP editing experience and I'm quite sure I know who they are. Still, I'd recommend to collapse such edits (or even leave them in). We normally delete (and do REVDEL) on content that's illegal, libellous, or contains personal detail; not just uncivil. — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:12, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, can you please clarify regarding your comment on the Anti-Armenian sentiment in Azerbaijan article's talk page, because I did not quite get it.

Did you meant that the fact that what other editor believes these sources (source, source) implies is enough to claim that shelling of Ghazanchetsots Cathedral and Tigranakert are acts of Armenophobia? Or you meant that we can not build Wikipedia based on how Wikipedians interpret material for themselves? Thanks in advance! Abrvagl (talk) 15:44, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

This was my direct response to this edit. However, the offending words (ZaniGiovanni's support for the Tigranakert content is LOL. It shows how propaganda-riddled this article is.) were removed by an editor in the meantime (edit conflict). Hope this clarifies. — kashmīrī ^TALK 15:51, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

So you commented on the comment of the IP user, not on the dispute itself, did I get it right? If so, would you mind to comment on the dispute itself also please? I can see that you are experienced user who in Wikipedia since 2006, and I believe that your comment would help us to solve the dispute and do not take this simple matter to the many places.

It is a union territory of India. And the disputing nation has no control over the area. In case of arunachal pradesh it is also disputed, but controlled by India. Its page has emblem,flag and map as concurrent with my edit. Editor8220 (talk) 13:31, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

You need to stop edit warring. If you want to discuss article contents, you should do it at Talk:Jammu and Kashmir (union territory) and not revert to your version. You have been warned several times, yet you persist. Please stop. — kashmīrī ^TALK 13:34, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Its not my version. It is the standard version of wikipedia pages for all Indian states and union territories. Editor8220 (talk) 13:53, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Unlike "all Indian states and union territories", J&K is a disputed region and there's a separate consensus on Wikipedia as regards article naming and infobox conent. — kashmīrī ^TALK 14:11, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect.

Hounding?

I was surprised to see that, hot on the heels of our disagreement at Ivermectin during the COVID-19 pandemic, you make a damaging edit to the lede of anthroposophic medicine, an article I recently edited, but which you never edited before. This looks rather like WP:FOLLOWING. Alexbrn (talk) 04:13, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@Alexbrn Seeing your exceptionally rigid views on medicine, I did check a few of your recent contribution to medicine-related articles and yes, I undid one of your recent reverts that I found unhelpful. This is perfectly in line with our policies. You might find it hard to prove that my aim was to create irritation, annoyance, or distress. However, I'm sorry if it's caused you distress. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:56, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Please avoid using foul language in exit summaries such as this edit - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1113913135 - Wikipedia should be a safe environment where users shouldn’t be subjected to such unreasonable behaviour. Cordyceps-Zombie (talk) 21:26, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Please keep Rogan josh on your watch list they will be back very soon with another sock account maybe look at their edit history [9] they also mock Islamic names such as Abdul and made a account mocking Allah which has since been blocked [10] I would like to thank you for keeping these articles free from these nationalist socks.

They

I wanted to thank you for changing "she" to "they". I hadn't noticed the "she" and honestly am not fussed about it. I don't expect you to remember. It merely came up because one of my word choices took us into gender waters, which was going to be a huge distraction. Struking it did however reassure me that you read the section, which I was questioning, based on your response. It seemed like you missed the fact that I started the conversation on a friendly note and only got annoyed when the repeated templating caused edit conflicts that were interfering with my attempts to address the issues in the templates. The real point though is that I started the conversation by giving him a kitten and making a joke, so it isn't just that he didn't de-escalate, it's that it escalated on his side. I was even going to let *that* go until he mischaracterized it in the RfA as "cut and pasted" French by someone who "claimed" to be a translator. He apparently is still dismissing the incident as some disgruntled newbie complaining about quality standards.

As a result of that thread a couple of people showed up over at that draft to fix it, which inspired me to translate the remaining 5-6 paragraphs. This took about ninety minutes. I am unsure how much time the other two invested, but one of them put it through AfC and it came out rated as B-class. It's quite a long article, and it was about 70 to 75% done when it was draftified.

If you *didn't* miss that but still think the above is just fine, ok, well, I am not going to hound you about it. I just... disagree. If you didn't fully read it because of the distracting injections by Kudpung, I don't actually blame you, but I felt a duty to warn and got attacked for that, so I... Wish you had.

But such things happen and I am not upset about it. In fact, I wonder if you would look at a situation with an article about Ladakh that I am concerned about, and give me a fresh-eyes reading? I might disagree with you on that as well, but I will at least listen to you, and I suspect you may be able to provide some insight. I am assuming from your username that you are familiar with the line of control; if this is not the case then I apologize. Elinruby (talk) 10:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Burzynski

What you might not know is that Burzynski has a long history of whitewashing his reputation. He has assiduous promoters, and the recent resurgence of the propaganda movie is, on past evidence very likely a consequence of yet another impending adverse ruling.

Also I have a very strong suspicion that this [22] Bomaiyukbutt is also a Roblox sock puppet they are reintroducing the edits of their other banned accounts under the guise of reverting another sock but the original edits were all made by a roblox sock quite sure this account is Roblox they are also pushing the same pov on Kashmir related articles such as wrestlers etc im surprised this sleeper sock got away for so long almost 12 days since they created the account and the user page edit is similar to the ValidYattoo account above. 119.160.96.33 (talk) 05:28, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Neither am I in a position to judge, and I admit I have never come across such an apology from an indefinitely blocked editor, so I don't know what to answer.

Just to stress, I'm not offended, because the editor tried to offend an online profile "kashmiri", a virtual persona, and not the REALLIFE me. So, my persona "kashmiri" is not overly concerned when another anonymous profile doesn't seem to like it. Because WP:MMORPG.

Bhumihar

Hi, i recently noticed that you removed some content from lead, and you wrote in edit summary that it was unsourced. However, they were just summarising what some of the sources present in body part say. See for example:

Rumela Sen (2021). Farewell to Arms: How Rebels Retire Without Getting Killed. Oxford University Press. pp. 48–49. ISBN 978-0197529867. Retrieved 12 July 2022.

the majority of these high-caste households were small landlords with landholdings that might also qualify them as "middle peasants." Their economic status was very similar to the middle peasant households among the backward-caste (Bania, Yadav, Kurmi, and Koeri). Although the Maoists identified these backward castes as a sympathetic class, some landowning, backward-caste households actually had economic interests in common with the upper-caste farming families.

Regarding decline in political circle

That too was sourced, as i found this source from Politics of Bihar article and it says that "Bhumihar, Rajput, Brahmin and Kayastha were replaced by some other caste groups after 1980.

Arnold P. Kaminsky; Roger D. Long (2011). इंडिया टुडे: An Encyclopedia of Life in the Republic. ABC-CLIO. pp. 95–96. ISBN 978-0-313-37462-3. Archived from the original on 4 August 2022. Retrieved 4 March 2012.

I think, the lead should summarise what the crux of article is. Current version seems to be focusing on their condition in era of feudalism in Bihar. Thanks (PS: Don't move my comment there on Article's talk page) you may use these references to write an updated lead.- Admantine123 (talk) 06:24, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, yes I understand, and I'm far from questioning the above. But while their varna status is a contentious topic, my opinion is that it's actually not important enough to be forced in the lead.

In general, the lead section can mention existing debates or concisely summarise them, but it's often not the right place to go into details of the competing viewpoints.

If you agree with this, could the lead be somehow improved in such a way to keep faithful to sources but avoid constant war in article? — kashmīrī ^TALK 09:31, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I am okay on Varna point of view. You are right there. But, economic condition and political decline should be mentioned as conclusion in lead. As from 1990 onwards, we know that politics of Bihar is all about OBCs on both sides. Other sources are saying the same thing in that article. And mentioning that will not bring edit war there as they (new editors) are basically concerned about Varna status. Thanks Admantine123 (talk) 11:27, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

some questions

Greetings Kashmiri I am not familiar with this account but this edit [32] seems like people are getting confused with the original banned editor PrinceOfRoblox and restoring their version am I right in thinking they are banned? ITXProud is the new account they created and their edits have been restored by mistake? as I do not want to oppose more established users here but noticed you have dealt with them on this article of discrimination thanks would appreciate thoughts. Mrdabalina (talk) 10:32, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Possibly, but you are also a sock and need to be blocked, much like your previous socks. — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:59, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Seems like someone forgot to assume good faith. That's quite the baseless accusation. 178.120.63.13 (talk) 05:36, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Can you stop removing authentic sources on the sufism page?

Hi, can you stop forcing your opinion on the sufism page? If we have the Cambridge companion for Islamic theology stating otherwise, how are you trying to refute that? I will be reporting you Galaxy21ultra (talk) 18:24, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

The page has been fine for a while before you and Agrso started place your own opinion on the page. As stated:The sources clearly state sufism is mainly a Sunni phenomenon. If you read further down the pages info, one would have realised the Shia equivalent of mysticism is mentioned under IRFAN

What don't you get about this? Galaxy21ultra (talk) 18:28, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Why are you not responding? You clearly are edit warring in bad faith Galaxy21ultra (talk) 19:18, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I replied in edit summary.

There's absolutely no point to go into sectarian discussion in the very first sentence of the lead section. The vast majority of those who search the term "Sufism" will have very faint idea about the Sunni/Shia division. The lead sentence was much better before your revert.

Additionally, the source you're trying to add does not not seem to refer to today's Sufism.

Finally, Sockpuppet investigations pages are not there to resolve content disputes. — kashmīrī ^TALK 19:52, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Why are you replying in the edit summary? If you want to make an edit, open a thread on the talk page. The only way for me to respond would be to undo your edit, hence an edit war starting as you kept refusing to talk on the thread I made here.

Thank you for finally responding.

Anyway I disagree, you are projecting your SUBJECTIVE opinion on the Page. We are here to state facts in Wiki, regardless of sectarian discussions. If the foremost source on this topic states otherwise, you need to learn to be quiet and accept it. As stated, it is NOT sectarian as the Shia equivalent of Sufism is mentioned later down the page. If there was no mention of Shiism, you would have a point, but there has been an effort made otherwise to prevent such biasedness by including a large section of the intro on it.

If you do not know about the topic, it is better not to speak. The page has been like this for months, and you are the first person to make such a BIG issue out of it. Clearly agenda ridden. Galaxy21ultra (talk) 21:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you did not lecture me.

For any content discussions, there are respective Talk pages. You should have raised your concerns there instead of reverting. Right now, your account should be blocked, because you have violated the three-revert rule. I have not reported it and instead just left you a warning, but another editor might take a different view.

For your information, when two editors have disagreed with your edit, it's wise to back off. Read this essay: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:23, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

ALSO it literally states in the intro "found MAINLY within Sunni Islam", NOT "found SOLELY within Sunni Islam" or "found Completely within Sunni Islam". This was done on purpose precisely for this reason.

You have already stated your English is not up to standard elsewhere, hence it is clear this subtle difference in speech has gone over your ears. By saying 'mainly' instead of 'solely' literally addresses your initial concern of the reader potentially believing that Sunni Islam having a monopoly over the subject. Galaxy21ultra (talk) 21:21, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

My language skills are off topic here. Please stop posting here. If you want to discuss the Sufism article, do it only at Talk:Sufism. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:25, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Articles relating to the Irish economy

Hi there, I recently came across the articles relating to the Irish economy and its tax policies and noticed something peculiar. Back in 2021, you restored (1, 2) a bunch of disruptive editing on Put on the green jersey by the now alleged inactive user "Duke Of Dirty Dancing". About a year later, another user, by the name of "Financefactz", has done pretty much the same thing, and the two seems to have a big interest in using Wikipedia to prove a point about Ireland's economy and their tax policies. This time, their edits weren't reverted (likely missed), but I can't help but suspect if they are potentially the same user, considering both are are also overlapping on Leprechaun economics and Corporation tax in the Republic of Ireland. What do you think? Counmagress (talk) 19:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. On a cursory glance, they are not the same editor – for instance, Duke Of Dirty Dancing consistently leaves edit summaries, Financefactz almost never does; Duke Of Dirty Dancing edits from a mobile, Financefactz only from a desktop. But I have not checked their contributions in depth for WP:MEAT. — kashmīrī ^TALK 20:08, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
