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.

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 July 2019 search for Broadcast gave over 200,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 74.
Of these 74, 15 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 16 refer to a Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are quotations.

Nambiar

Nambiar are nair and namboothiri. I'm a nambiar. Unniyarcha (talk) 17:03, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Unniyarcha
Wikipedia is not interested in who you are, where you are from, what your caste is, or what you "know".
Wikipedia is only interested in what has already been published in reliable sources, which need to be cited in order to support information added to our pages.
You are adding statements without any references, so they are being removed. For information on how to add citations, please see Help:Referencing for beginners, and please only cite reliable sources, not blogs, or sources without a reputation for being independent and for fact checking - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 17:26, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted the Change You Made to the Lisa Sanders Page

I reverted the change that you made to the Lisa Sanders page. Yes, the duplicate word is grammatically incorrect. But, if you follow the citation link, you will discover that the duplicate word is in the original that is being quoted. So, deleting the the duplicate word constitutes misquoting the original. Shortsword (talk) 22:17, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Shortsword
FYI Wikipedia:Quotations#Formatting allows editors to make such corrections "Exceptions are trivial spelling or typographical errors that obviously do not affect the intended meaning; these may be silently corrected."
So, do we "silently" correct the "was was"? or "silently" remove the "of" which would then make sense of the "was was" (although that then should have a comma), or (my preference) do we add [sic]? - Arjayay (talk) 11:06, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thiyya Wikipedia page redirect

Please remove the redirect and protection of thiyya Wikipedia page so that we can have one our own Unniyarcha (talk) 15:01, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jaswal

My edits are not vandalism but relevant updates to an article that currently contains incomplete information about Jaswal. The source cited is based on information collected by British government officials in India. Why are Raj and Empire sources not considered a reliable? Are you making up Wikipedia editing and source citation rules on your own or can you provide a Wikipedia policy that says Raj and Empire sources cannot be cited? Please stop reverting meaningful and constructive updates to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Netscape navigatr (talk • contribs) 15:38, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Netscape navigatr - Firstly - please sign all posts on talk pages with 4 tildes ( ~~~~ ) which will add your signature and a timestamp.
As for Raj sources, please see the detailed explanation at User:Sitush/CasteSources, and please do not make accusations about other editors. Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 16:20, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

That AIV is taking too much time. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:18, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Fylindfotberserk thanks for the beer - I agree about the AIV - maybe we should have used 3RR as well ? - Arjayay (talk) 18:56, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I thought of that, but saw your 4th revert in one of the article histories. Once I got warned myself for reporting a POV pusher in a similar situation. They thought I was gaming the system, since my 4th revert was 2 hr outside the 24 hr span, although I was correct in assuming the other user's edit as vandalism which is exempt from 3RR. One of the reverts by that user in a similar commonname issue. The change back to the stable version took almost a month since the admins asked me to dicuss the issue with the other user who most likely was using that account for this type of vandalism. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:28, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Fylindfotberserk - as I am sure you have seen, they were blocked for 3RR - although they were not warned for it. Arjayay (talk) 11:33, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I've seen it. It seems the admins scrutinize both parties if we report at 3RR. That's why I rarely go to AN3, AIV FTW. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:38, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on Oxford Entrepreneurs' Page

Hi, this IP address - 80.0.79.173 - is vandalizing Oxford Entrepreneurs' page and making unsubstantiated (and slanderous) allegations. Please do the needful. 86.2.116.118 (talk) 19:45, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP from Oxford.
As you know, the page was protected at 04.20 on 12 September, before I even read your post. I see you went to WP:RPP later to request rev-deletion - please go directly there in future, as I am not an Admin, so I would have had to go there myself to request the protection. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 09:51, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Twin_Sisters_(cannons)

Howdy, thanks for your edits. I added the extra space / dash underneath the quote boxes because they are covering the sub-headings Twin_Sisters_(cannons)#Name and Twin_Sisters_(cannons)#Cincinnati_connection. Any idea how to make it display correctly without the dash?Leonardocognoscenti (talk) 07:21, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Leonardocognoscenti - thanks for your post
I have resolved the problem by adding {{clear}} above each "missing" section header. The uses of this are explained at Template:Clear, but how you were supposed to find that without some prior knowledge, I don't know.
FYI you should also either use the reference "hardin". or delete it from the reflist - it could go into an External links section, but would need re-formatting - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 09:34, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, thank you! Still getting the hang of things around here! Will look into hardin..Leonardocognoscenti (talk) 07:55, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Civilisation?

You reverted my edit on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sentinel_Island, where it spelled out "civilisation". I am a proud native English speaker, who corrected it to be "civilization". Explain why you reverted it??? 69.138.9.171 (talk)

Hello IP from Falling Waters WV: Please see:-
  1. civilization which states "Alternative forms *civilisation (UK) "
  2. civilisation which states "Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa spelling of civilization"
As stated at the top of the edit page, the article is written in Indian English - which, with a very few exceptions (and this isn't one of them), is the same as British English.
For more information please see WP:ENGVAR - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 08:53, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP from Patna, Bihar - I'm not sure which article you are talking about, and I can't find a page where Pravasi Bhartiya Samman.jpg was linked to, as it doesn't exist - hence it is a redlink - Please explain, and I can try to help - Arjayay (talk) 18:54, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
