Spelling changes

Hello. In your recent edits to the pages 1: Nenokkadine, Action (2019 film) and Aaranya Kaandam ‎ you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Refactoring quotations

Hi there re: these changes, while I know you were attempting to clean up some of the grammar, in the critical response section you refactored direct quotations, which typically isn't appropriate (we have some liberty of refactoring them to fix minor grammar/typographical issues) but in this case you added some grammar errors, so overall it wasn't very useful.

Example: "a Scarface-like shootout" is perfectly fine, as it describes that the shootout scene resembled the American film Scarface. "Scarface-like a shootout" doesn't make any sense. Similarly, "Director Rahul Dholakia depicts ... the honest cop Jaideep with flourish" is an acceptable phrasing. The indefinite article "a" is not needed here. It would be like saying "Dholakia depicts the role with excellence" or "with flair" or "with conviction". "A" is not needed additionally here. Thanks and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Also, re: these changes, "crore" is the correct phrasing, not "crores". We don't say "ten millions people" or "four thousands people". We say "ten million" "four thousand". The unit is singular. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:21, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Masaf rifle moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Masaf rifle, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Children's Book Council of Iran

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Children's Book Council of Iran, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Iranian politics general sanctions notification

Please read this notification carefully: it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions to curtail disruption in articles related to post-1978 Iranian politics, broadly construed. Before continuing to make edits that involve this topic, please read the full description of these sanctions here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
