Yogesh Khandke

Did you notice that he's topic banned from Indian history. Doug Weller talk 19:28, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Doug, no I didn't know that. But there is nothing in the ARBIPA enforcement log, and there were no DS alerts in his talk page history. I gave the notice because of his POV edits at Bajrang Dal. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:54, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Yogesh and POV are practically synonyms. I think his indefinite ban preceded the ArbCom situation and was community imposed. - Sitush (talk) 20:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Here's the link.[1] Doug Weller talk 05:59, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I was aware of the community ban, but the fact is that YK has been skirting the edge of that ban for ages. Part of the problem is that the scope of the ban is poorly defined. Where is the line between history and contemporary politics? YK has used this ambiguity to pop up around several topics related to Hindutva and make questionable edits several times, and there doesn't seem to be much we can do about it. Vanamonde (talk) 06:51, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

@Vanamonde93: WP:HISTRS says, When historians first begin to write about an event, then it should be regarded as a historical article. Everything covered in India after Gandhi is "history" by this criterion. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:49, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Fair enough; IIRC India After Gandhi mentions events up to 2004 or so (haven't read the book in a while). By this yardstick, YK has been in constant violation of his ban. The Bajrang Dal was founded in the early 80s, and its best known activities were during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and the 2002 Gujarat riots; so the Bajrang Dal article itself would certainly come within the scope of the topic ban (unless he were editing it with respect to a specific recent incident, which he was not). Vanamonde (talk) 11:02, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Yup, I agree. I will write a note to him. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:07, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Obvious content forks

Have a look at these blatant non-WP:NOTEable articles:

Kindly help

Hello. Greetings. Kindly help me as I am being threatened by a user named Sitush on this website. The user has everyone convinced that I am in the wrong and unfairly trying to block me with the help of other Wikipedians. All I wanted is to provide some neutral information on Reservation in India page and this trouble started. First Sitush started removing my edits by mentioning this and that. And then later started thretening me for my edits. In the end I have received warning from another Wikipedian that I might be completely banned. This is not fair or impartial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.202.37.47 (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

I am not sure what help you need, and why you are asking me. Your edit is like an essay or a blog post. It is not possible to include it on Wikipedia. Please read the "five pillars" articles posted in your welcome message, and get an idea how Wikipedia works. Until you get a good understanding of how it works, you should not be making accusations about editors. Please be very careful because you have received a warning from an administrator. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:19, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timeline of the Kashmir conflict, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Uri, Bagh and Nowshera (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I don't wish to engage in a revert war. What is "RS"? Also, wouldn't a commander of a U.N. declared terror outfit be a terrorist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBlueKnight (talk • contribs) 18:07, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

RS is short for reliable source. "Terrorist" is a value-laden label. It should be used only if it is wisely used by reliable sources. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:22, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

"Wisely" used? Perhaps you meant "widely"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheBlueKnight (talk • contribs) 19:54, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:11, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	Good work on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Faizan. Marvellous Spider-Man 02:20, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

My thanks also. Especially this evidence. Very well organized, and no doubt, time-consuming to prepare. EdJohnston (talk) 02:23, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both. I was surprise at the speed with which this got resolved, and, shocked as well, having supported Towns Hill so often.

EdJohnston, I am wondering who is going to look into the meatpuppetry of Owais Khursheed. The CU didn't address that. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:04, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

@Bbb23: closed the ANI of Owais Khursheed. Marvellous Spider-Man 16:10, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Oh wow, that's a lot of accounts that I had encountered at various points...good work, K. I wish I could say that running a "pro-Pakistani" editor to earth would improve your credibility with their opposite numbers, but that might be wishful thinking...Vanamonde (talk) 12:20, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Sciences Po

I think your name appeared in some of the discussions about this. See WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Harassment from XIIIfromTokyo in case you want to propose how to resolve this. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:14, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Hi Kautilya, beer for your great work on Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Faizan. You are as smart as ancient Kautilya. Hope you stay forever on Wikipedia to keep it clean. Cheers-- Human3015 TALK  22:45, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
