E-mails

You can use "Email this user" in the panel on the left, 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 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 February 2019 search for Broadcast gave over 197,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 72.
Of these 72, 15 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 16 refer to a Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are quotations.

Daily Press (Virginia)

What the reason you have reverted my note about access from Europe to Daily Press (Virginia)? From Czech (and with other European country proxies) I can see only this message: «Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism.» And this is a permanent situation. I can see the Daily Press web-site with Asian and American proxy. So they intentionalу block their site for Europeans, and this is important fact in the context of freedom of information. Algen (talk) 21:06, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Algen - apologies for the delay in replying, but I have been away.
You appear to be reading far too much into the Daily Press (Virginia)'s unavailability. Since the General Data Protection Regulation came into force many companies outside the EU, whose websites might not comply with the requirements of the GDPR, have chosen to make those websites unavailable in EU countries, rather than installing in-house systems and regimes to ensure that they are compliant, or risk being fined for non-compliance.
The companies who have opted-out includes numerous US news sources, particularly the local/smaller ones, for whom the ongoing cost of ensuring compliance would exceed any possible benefit. This is not, therefore, an attempt by the Daily Press (Virginia) to stifle freedom of information, indeed, the General Data Protection Regulation itself, is seen by many people as the "culprit" in restricting the availability of information.
This has been discussed on several occasions on Wikipedia, including here - which was easy for me to find, having contributed. Please also see "Your Teahouse response" 2 sections above, on this page, which provides another option to using proxy-servers - Arjayay (talk) 12:32, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Arjayay, thank you very much for your comprehensive reply. As a Russian emigrant in Europe I underestimated restrictiveness of European legislative against the background of Russian censorship. It seems the threats to freedom of information in the world are much more serious than I thought. Algen (talk) 11:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit on Jimmy Hibbert page

Thank you for removing the unsourced information from the Jimmy Hibbert page. I was going to remove it myself but you have saved me the trouble so once again, Thank you. Blockheadqp (talk) 09:05, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Blockheadqp - in return - thanks for your edit at Geoffrey Whitehead. We have an IPV6 user whose actual address keeps changing and who is repeatedly adding information and claiming that it doesn't matter that it is unsourced - We'll win in the end - Arjayay (talk) 09:09, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are very welcome, Arjayay and I agree with you about that user. It absolutely DOES matter if the information is unsourced. Blockheadqp (talk) 09:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chandrgupt

It seems that you are not willing to promote truth on wikipedia. This is a universally accepted fact what i have added. Do not act oversmart. You yourself can search online and you will find plenty of authentic research on Chandrgupts earlier religion and identity. You are contributing to distortion in . history but not allowing the truth. Lalit Jugtawat (talk) 19:23, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No Lalit Jugtawat, you are not willing to abide by Wikipedia's basic principles
All information must be verifiable by citing references to reliable sources and it is the burden of the person who wants to make an addition to our articles to add those references when adding to Wikipedia articles.
Your latest addition to Chandragupta Maurya was reverted by an admin and you have received another warning - please edit within Wikipedia's rules or you will end up being blocked - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 11:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please try not to confuse the ~400,000 beetles with the band

The "Not to be confused with The Beatles." is rubbish, remove it or place it where I did, do not remove because you are a vandal star, whomever placed this on the article 28 Mar was either joking or drunk and it does not make any sense! 2404:4408:207A:3200:9087:1533:F564:9BB5 (talk) 15:05, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit on Curse LLC Article

I saw that you reverted my edit on the page. I have clearly mentioned the type of edit I did in the article. I can explain it in detail here. First, the typo - There was a typo of two periods at the end of a sentence. Second, redundant information - In the last para it was mentioned twice that Curse Gaming merged with Team Liquid so I removed the one that was not needed and kept the other one. If you still think the edits are not justified then we can discuss it further on the article talk page. Amazomagisto (talk) 14:05, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Amazomagisto, thank you for your post, which was very polite in the circumstances. I have reverted my edit at Curse LLC and apologized to you in that edit summary. I'm not sure why I did not see that the text you deleted was amplified in the following paragraph - apologies again - Arjayay (talk) 14:11, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Dhimal belong to gorkha community why dhimal are not considered as gorkha in Indian gorkhas wikipedia , many authors had said rai , limbu and dhimal are brothers if rai and limbu are considered as gorkha why not us ,why we are been igorned Ratnajyotimallickdhimal (talk) 09:54, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ratnajyotimallickdhimal - All information added to Wikipedia articles must be verifiable by citing references to reliable sources, and it is the burden, of the person who wants to make the addition or change, to add those references when altering a Wikipedia article.
Each one of the words in green is a link which leads to the relevant Wikipedia policy/guideline which you should read to understand why your additions were deleted. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 10:09, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

possible sock Suggestion

Is this guy another sock of Alibaba1235 and SHAHEENHUN? He won't stop vandalising these same pages. Thanks Mramoeba (talk) 12:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mramoeba - I don't know, but User:Imranali11 has been blocked indefinitely. - Arjayay (talk) 12:42, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I guess it doesn't matter, I thought maybe there was a log to update somewhere. Thanks Mramoeba (talk) 13:04, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Surgicel

I am new to editing on Wikipedia and I have been trying to edit the page on surgicel and my edits are constantly being removed. I am currently employed by Ethicon and I was told to update the page with new information. The information I have provided for the page was not advertising nor was it promotional. The edits that I provided were informative on the different types of hemostats as well as the purpose of each one. Please consider the edits, thanks. Eultron — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eultron (talk • contribs) 17:50, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eultron - from your statement above, it appears that, not only do you have a Conflict of interest, (which you have already been warned about) but you are also a paid contributor. Under The Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use you must disclose your "employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation" as per wmf:Terms of use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities.
As you have not done so, all your edits are likely to be removed until you comply with the terms of use. I suggest that you inform you employer of this, in order that they can reconsider their instructions to you.
Despite your claims above, I also believe that your alterations were both "advertising" and "promotional", and also broke several other editing rules, so would probably be removed in any case. - Arjayay (talk) 19:21, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bridgnorth

Arjayay - Would you please add that Bridgnorth has the only known volunteer-run Saturday Park and Ride in the country. It is run by Bridgnorth Chamber of Commerce volunteer bus drivers between April and October. The minibus is supplied by The Endowed School and the car park is at the Nock Deighton Auction and Livestock market at Tasley. Charge to use the bus is free but parking is £2 per car. When Nock Deighton have sales taking place on Saturdays the park and ride cannot operate. The buses run every fifteen minutes to drop off in the High Street. There is also a 'shop and drop' service whereby the passengers can give the driver their shopping and it is kept in a locked shed until collection. It is funded by various chamber of commerce members including some market traders. Bridgnorth has a particular problem with insufficient parking spaces on Saturdays as one of the car parks has a market on part of it and the high street has a market in the usual car park spaces. Also, because it is such a popular tourist destination day-trippers flood in then struggle to park. Marie Sever (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

You are welcome.

Regarding this edit, her place of birth is mentioned in her official website here which writes "Born in Daman but raised in Auckland". The website also links to her verified twitter [1] and facebook accounts[2]. I believe it is OK. What do you think? Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fylindfotberserk
Both her Date and Place of birth have been a matter of some dispute on her article - we all know that musicians and actors/actresses DoB's are often altered (a friend of mine suddenly became 3 years younger when he joined a well known band). Although not WP:Independent, which may upset some editors, citing her website is better than not citing any source - even if it is subsequently removed by someone wanting an independent source. - Arjayay (talk) 17:28, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
a friend of mine suddenly became 3 years younger when he joined a well known band That's quite true sir since that happened to me as well. Personal websites are a no-no for DoB obviously but what purpose could a misleading birth place serve? Anyway, if this is disputed then I'm not going to add it. Curiously, the article and talkpage have a lot of Daman and Diu related categories. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About references

I think this text "This article draws some information from the corresponding article in Chinese Wikipedia" in reference (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joshua_Wong&diff=prev&oldid=902254111) should be deleted? - because Wikipedia editing rule (Wikipedia:Verifiability#Wikipedia and sources that mirror or use it) doesn't allow to reference on its own Wikipedia pages (as there notice that information might draw some details from Chinese Wikipedia page). There exist some template for referencing on Wikipedia pages in other Wikipedia languages, like Template:Expand language (it's for stubs mostly) or Template:Translated page (this translator usually places), but it looks there no need for them either. PoetVeches (talk) 19:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PoetVeches - I can understand your confusion - in addition to reliable sources, Wikipedia also requires attribution, i.e. who originally added the information. When adding information from another languages Wikipedia page, the editor who initially added the information should be credited, but when a page has had multiple editors, this is difficult/impossible.
We, therefore, state that part of the article has been translated, so if a reader wants to know who added the information, it can be tracked back - albeit that that can be very difficult in a foreign language.
For more information, please see Wikipedia:Translation, specifically Wikipedia:Translation#How_to_translate which explains that "The new, translated article must credit the source article." and how to do it - it was this information that you deleted, and which I re-added. - Arjayay (talk) 21:04, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rangeblock

Hi, Ajayay. I've blocked the range 31.205.43.192/27 for a week; it covers the IPs you were reverting at David Brent. I'm not sure that very small range is all they have access to, so feel free to let me know if you should see any other IPs that look similar. Bishonen | talk 13:17, 20 June 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Drill

Are you sure you looked carefully at Hick's page? Regards80.229.34.113 (talk) 13:41, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But you seem to be using WP as a source, no more. You're going through and finding a trivial mention of something, then prioritising it over all other possible links as needing inclusion. You're not sourcing these, you're not explaining why they're worth linking. Sure, Benjamin Hick had an engineering works, he built lots of stuff. But what substantial contribution did he make to beam engines, over and above his contemporaries? Certainly this wouldn't be obvious to anyone following that unexplained link. Nor did he have anything to do with compound steam locomotives, probably on account of having been dead for thirty years before Mallet built one. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:26, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thats more like it, were Hick's 1834 3-cylinder vertical boiler locomotive and later A 2-2-2 loco compounded? Regards80.229.34.113 (talk) 14:55, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If Hick had built a compound loco in 1834, that would be sufficiently exceptional that it ought to be in the body of the article, with a sentence, if not a paragraph. Not just a blind See also.
I know little about his 1834 loco. I presume you mean the one with the unusual vertical boiler and the "annular water space". AFAIR, this had a three cylinder engine with single-acting cylinders and a geared drive. There's some indication that it didn't even have an engine built for it, he just took a textile mill tenter engine from the factory and geared it to the wheels. Maybe it's an early precursor to the steam motor, but not AFAIK any sort of compound. A three cylinder engine does not imply a compound!
I know nothing about any 2-2-2 locos. He probably built them, everyone did. Compounded? Not AFAIK. We'd need a year to look further.
The main reason he didn't build compound steam locos is just thermodynamics. Loco boilers in Hick's time didn't have a high enough pressure for this to be a useful technique. It worked for stationary engines because these were condensing engines (even though low pressure) and so compounding can also be useful. But no low pressure compound steam locos either. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the unusual vertical boiler loco with disc wheels - there is some technical info (the patent?) in the cite on Benj' Hick's page [3] and a model of the A 2-2-2 in Bolton museum (presumably a working patent model) that should demonstrate the principles of the design.

Sir, regarding this edit. User keeps re including unsourced stuff in the name of expanding the article. Would you kindly see his matter? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:20, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
