Draft for submission of new article

Thanks for your initial review and comments on Draft:Jim Byron (executive). Good point regarding strengthening the number of third party reliable sources; in addition to the Politico article, I've identified sources from the LA Times, Wall Street Journal and Associated Press that report on the subject and added those into the draft. I invite you to take another look as I believe this now has the qualifications that warrant a new article. Thank you, TundraTank (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Related to the edits reverted on the page Hidutva

Dear daxserver,

I saw you reverted those edits and i shall request you to remove your reverts kindly. As I already mentioned in my edit summary that i removed them as they were misleading, they are. The reasons are follows:-

1. It says that hindutva follows an ideology of seperatism than I should tell you that it does Not. As it follows the ideology of merging countries in south and south eadt aisa but not seperatism and that is also unofficiallyamd officialy as the RSS have always opposed it you cant say that it is its ideology because RSS is the main leading itentity of hindutva.

2. It says that it is inspired by European fascism than I must tell you that it does not as the fascism has an ideology of "cultural domination" or we can say hating other cultutres but hindutva has a policy of "culutral pride" or you may interpret it that hindutva feels pride in its culture and "protects" it.

If you want to discuss more you may send ke in my talk page.

Regards

Query

@DaxServer I have a query. I want to see revision history of Lok Sabha of February 2014. But when I am increasing the limit of edits, the oldest edit is being shown on 9 May 2014. But the article was formed much before that date. How I can see revision history of Lok sabha 2014 February? XYZ 250706 (talk) 13:55, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

@XYZ 250706 On the history page, there is a "Filter revisions" form. You'll have to put the "To date" before which the revisions should be shown. Here's a direct link - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lok+Sabha&date-range-to=2014-05-09&tagfilter=&action=history for history from the start until 9 May 2014. — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 14:47, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

@DareshMohan There should be a bot fixing these non-trivial errors. I don't remember which. Can you post at Wikipedia:Bot requests? — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 07:28, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Devtanu

Hello DaxServer. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Devtanu, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Page was created before User:Arvindsrivastavaadvocate was blocked. Thank you. BangJan1999 15:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

@BangJan1999 They are socks — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 15:52, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

G5 is specifically for block evasion, not just sockpuppetry. And as the page was created before block evasion took place, it's not a G5. BangJan1999 15:53, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Duplicate page creation by user creating confusion

A user has created a duplicate page for Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023's draft making it a duplication. Requesting your review towards it for further action.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— The page is not a duplicate. One is a bill from 2022 and the other is an Act. The bill is a predecessor of the Act.

Mahabharata War dating to be 4000 BCE reference from Capt. Ajit Vadakayil blog

Hi Daxserver,

I am new to wikipedia, I received your message that you have deleted my reference of Capt. Ajit Vadakayil word press site from Kurukshetra war. I have concern on dating of Mahabharata war shown by Wikipedia. Kurukshetra war is mentioned as 3100 BCE in the wiki page, however the actual war happened 4000 BCE, and you can refer Capt. Ajit Vadakayil blog for reference on Mahabharata war dating.

KMAQ (AM)

KMAQ (AM) was bundled with KMAQ-FM in the AfD nomination. I removed it as I saw you had done with the FM’s article, but could you double-check the AM’s article, please, to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Thanks! Stereorock (talk) 14:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for noting that @Stereorock. I thought the XFDCloser script took care of that! — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 14:17, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

NPP invatation

Hello DaxServer!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 August 19#Template:Unreferenced section

Hi, I was in the middle of posting a lengthy comment to Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2023 August 19#Template:Unreferenced section, when you closed it. I didn't save my edit. The full text of my intended post follows:

• Oppose as pointless: they are already merged. This pair of templates have a long history of being merged and de-merged, sometimes BOLD, sometimes discussed on a talk page, sometimes at TfD.
  When originally created at 05:17, 3 January 2005 (UTC) by Aero34 (talk · contribs), {{Unreferenced section}} used a <div>...</div> as its basis. Subsequent changes from a simple div, to a table within a div, to a non-enclosed table are not detailed here.
  It was fully merged, becoming a redirect to {{Unreferenced}} at 19:40, 18 October 2006 (UTC) with this edit by HereToHelp (talk · contribs); that was reverted at 04:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC) by Mahagaja (talk · contribs). This was done again at 17:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC) by Mr.Z-man (talk · contribs) acting upon this TfD (result: speedy close), and reverted at 04:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC) by Jeepday (talk · contribs). Template talk:Unreferenced/Archive 2#Merge and Redirect, after speedy close of TfD is relevant here.
  The non-redirect merge (to transclude {{unreferenced|section}}) was first carried out at 18:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC) with this edit by Melsaran (talk · contribs) and reverted at 12:36, 8 September 2007 with this edit by Rich Farmbrough (talk · contribs). It was converted to use {{ambox}} at 20:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC) in this edit by Ms2ger (talk · contribs).
  It was again merged (to transclude {{unreferenced|section}}) at 08:55, 20 February 2009 (UTC) with this edit by MZMcBride (talk · contribs); undone at 18:05, 23 February 2009 (UTC) by Ruslik0 (talk · contribs); redone at 11:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC) by MSGJ (talk · contribs).
  It was de-merged again at 23:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC) with this edit by SilkTork (talk · contribs); and that edit was reverted at 12:28, 17 December 2012 with this edit by myself.
  Another de-merge occurred at 02:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC) with this edit by SMcCandlish (talk · contribs).
  A discussion in May 2016 at Template talk:Unreferenced section#Unreferenced section and Unreferenced did not change the situation.
  The next merge occurred at 14:39, 19 January 2017 (UTC) with this edit by Amakuru (talk · contribs) following this TfD (result: Revert {{Unreferenced section}} to previous version), and that is essentially the situation that we have today; although this relevant discussion resulted in no action.
  I notice that {{Unreferenced section}} has not been tagged for the present TfD, although {{unreferenced}} (which it transcludes) has been tagged. THerefore, since one already transcludes the other, there is nothing to merge. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:12, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

  That's a great research into its history and timeline; quite informative. Thanks @Redrose64. Do you think we should amend the TfD along with a note that you're in the process of posting while I was closing? (I don't mind if you go ahead and amend with the note, but I don't know how others would react to editing a "closed" discussion.) Alternatively, posting at the talk page of one or both of the templates would be more useful, as this will add good context for future reference — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 10:27, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

  I think the cleanest way would be for you to undo your close at the TfD page, without undoing any of the associated edits to templates and their talk pages, copy the bulk of my post above (from the first asterisk down to the signature, inclusive) and paste it at the bottom of the TfD text (with a link to this thread in your edit summary, for attribution purposes), and then you may re-close the TfD taking my post into account. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:40, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

   Done — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 16:54, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

   Thank you very much! --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:28, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Timing of relisting

Hello DaxServer, I left a few comments regarding this on the discussions themselves when I noticed them, but I am not sure you have received them: please avoid relisting move discussions before the initial week of discussion has ever been completed. For example, Talk:WMTV (College of William & Mary) was relisted today about half a day earlier than should have been possible. There are a few reasons for this: the relisting may appear to be a finger on the scale, relisted discussions are supposed to be eligible for immediate closure at any time, etc. There is not really any harm in waiting for discussion periods to elapse. (In fact, while I don't think it's necessary to adhere to this, WP:RMRELIST assumes that relisting will happen to backlogged discussions rather than elapsed ones—that would imply already having 8 days of discussion.) Best, Dekimasuよ! 08:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the note Dekimasu — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · e · c) 11:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
