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.
Hello Arjayay, I really appreciate the tips you've given me regarding editing the article entitled "University of Benin (Nigeria)" and for captivating my attention to the shortcomings created by other contributors.
Conversely, your criticism is NOT constructive, rather you're practically against the development of the aforementioned University.
It is a truism that I have cited a good number of sources where applicable in the article, and most of them are primary sources.
Having diligently reviewed the alleged promotional content, I looked out for FACTS from reliable sources, and then edited the content from a neutral view. Yet, you ignored my efforts and removed the edited content (with facts and reliable sources) without patiently verifying the contents. Please, stop jeopardizing my suitable efforts.
Consequently, there's no more promotional content, and reliable sources which most of them are primary have been cited where applicable.
Thank you for your understanding, and I will appreciate any further suggestions. Zizikuli (talk) 21:51, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
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.
Any reason why detailed history of Gorkhaland movement should not occur in an article on Gorkhaland!!!
This one beats all logic! There is a detailed history of the Gorkhaland movement that improves the article, yet you go and delete it in one sweep without a thought. Any reason why you believe the history of the Gorkhaland movement is not important in an article on Gorkhaland? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2401:4900:330C:F2D9:E2A3:C01F:A07A:889C (talk) 08:11, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

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)

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)
- 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)
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)

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

Why did you deleted the content I updated? Who you think you are to delete? I updated the relevant content? Please stop interfering in my work. Revival1991 (talk) 09:46, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
- Revival1991 - I deleted it because it was unsourced - as with your addition to Ahmednagar discussed above. Until you understand verifiability and the need for citations from reliable sources to support anything you add to Wikipedia articles, you are going to find it very difficult to contribute to Wikipedia. - Arjayay (talk) 11:03, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
Arjayay See I have enough knowledge verifiability and the need for citations from reliable sources. For your information there is no need to cite and give reference of every sentence. I am again asking you to stop interfering my contribution to wikipedia. Revival1991 (talk) 13:31, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
About "Eduardo Correa from Brazil"
Hi there!
I am new here. Ive added Eduardo Correa bio here (wikipedia), the way I managed to do that was creating a link to a non-existent page, so I create the page. Somehow, this new page (about Eduardo Correa) still over wikipedia analysis, so it looks like I am adding a non-existent page.
Well, I am sorry for the inconvenience. It´s my learning curve :-D
Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fernborba (talk • contribs) 19:19, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Fernborba- thanks for your post. Please note you have not created a page. Draft:Eduardo Correa Bodybuilder has not been submitted for review, and if it is, it will be rejected, as it is not in English - and this is the English Wikipedia. Until the page has been accepted, you cannot add Eduardo Correa to our list articles - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 19:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
misspellings
I read this bit on your user page: "I dislike: Wikipedia keeping incorrectly spelt articles as redirects, which leads to more uses of the same misspelling, as editors copy the spelling in a blue or green link".
Indeed. Obviously, it is that way to help people find what they're looking for, but I agree that it has that nasty side effect.
I was just thinking, you know how a redirect can be tagged with hidden code to indicate that it's a redirect for a misspelling? Perhaps we could put together a proposal to make a small change in the Wikipedia software to still take you to the intended page, but show some kind of red warning to bring your attention to the fact that you got there through a redirect from a misspelling.
What do you think? Dr. Vogel (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Dr. Vogel - thanks for your post, and apologies for the delay, but I've been thinking. (Always dangerous)
Initially your proposal, sounded good, but I wonder if we would just be cluttering up the pages with more colours, which would mean little to the majority of readers, i.e. those who are not regular editors, as they wouldn't know what the colours mean.
I already have a concern regarding red and green links - no help to the 2% of males who are totally red/green colour-blind, and of reduced help to the 7% of males, and 0.5% of females, who are partially red/green colour-blind.
As spell-checkers that work in the WP edit box have become standard on almost all browsers, the problem has diminished significantly, as the misspelled text is corrected, or at least underlined, in the edit window.
Ideally, the redirect from a misspelling code could change the text in the edit window, rather than just add another colour, but that requires a much higher level of interactive window than we have at present. - As a different thought, maybe a bot could check the "what links here" connections on the pages that are redirects from misspellings? There shouldn't be any such incoming links, so it could then go to the relevant pages and correct the spellings. I'm not a techie, but to my simple mind that sounds easy - although, for all I know, there may be such a bot already.
Such a bot would need some sort of fail-safe, to stop a vandal altering a real page to a false misspelling page, as the bot would then alter all the correctly spelled links, to incorrectly spelled ones.
Any thoughts? Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 15:17, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
Page Edit
Dear Team,
Currently the page has been created under the name Century Financial (CFC) and correct name of the rand is Century Financial Consultancy LLC.
Request you to please help in editing the name of the brand at the earliest possible.
Appreciate the help.
Best Regards, Team Century Financial — Preceding unsigned comment added by Century Financial (CFC) (talk • contribs) 10:46, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Century Financial (CFC)
We don't have a page called Century Financial (CFC) or Century Financial or Century Financial Consultancy or Century Financial Consultancy LLC so it appears that there is nothing to rename
Even if we did have such a page, we use the WP:COMMONNAME in English - not the "official" name e.g. Microsoft, not Microsoft Corporation - we almost never include Co. Inc, Co Ltd, LLC or LLP in our article titles
Finally, please change your user-name, as explained on your talk page, before making any further edits to our pages. Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 11:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Request you to please monitor the Dakshina Kannada and Mangalore articles for Vandalism
Hello,
Some fanatics have been repeatedly inserting false regions such as Tulu Nadu into the Dakshina Kannada and Mangalore articles, since the past few years.
As per the regions of Karnataka, Tulu Nadu is not recognized as a region, and no valid references exist for these dubious claims.
I request you to please monitor the Dakshina Kannada and Mangalore articles for Vandalism.
