Done

Nobody "should have" a page on Wikipedia, and nobody actually "has" a page in Wikipedia.

Wikipedia "has" articles about many people, but this is a matter of whether Wikipedia is improved, by having the article, because the subject is notable, not whether the subject wants an article, or not.

Furthermore, "deserves" is irrelevant. Wikipedia has articles on both saints and sinners. The question is only whether there has been enough coverage in reliable, independent, sources to base an article on.

Broadcasted[edit]

==Broadcasted==

To explain why I reversed your change to Broadcasted back to Broadcast at the [[XXXX]] article:- [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/broadcasted The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted] states that the use is sometimes [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#proscribed proscribed], so it should not be used. The word also appears on [[Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B]]

Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but not at all in others, e.g. [http://www.chambers.co.uk/search.php?query=Broadcasted&title=21st Chambers] which states "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found". Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as per [[WP:COMMONALITY|COMMONALITY]] - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English". Thanks - ~~~~

Burden[edit]

==Burden==
It is NOT up to the reader, or another editor, to check your edits, or add references. The [[WP:BURDEN]] is on whoever adds or changes information to provide a reference from a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] that supports those additions or changes. - ~~~~

Photos

Most images on the Web, in magazines or books, are copyright and cannot be used in Wikipedia. If you did not take the picture yourself, it is probably not one that Wikipedia can use. Wikipedia takes WP:COPYRIGHT issues very seriously.
If you want to upload an image from your computer for use in an article, you must determine the proper license of the image (or whether it is in the public domain). If you know the image is public domain or copyrighted but under a suitable free-license, upload it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image. If you are unsure of the licensing status, see the file upload wizard for more information. Please also read Wikipedia's image use policy.
If you want to add an image that has already been uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, add [[File:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text]] to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text with a short description of the image. See our picture tutorial for more information. Please note that the file name is case sensitive, so it must be exactly the same - Arjayay (talk) 22:26, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Firstly, please put new posts at the bottom and do not over-write other editors posts.
Secondly, please sign all posts on talk pages with 4 tildes ( ~~~~ ) which will add your signature and a timestamp

:Firstly you need to be sure that the subject is "notable" in Wikipedia's meaning of the word - has the subject [[WP:42|received '''significant''' coverage in '''reliable''' sources that are '''independent''' of the subject]]? ::Not passing mentions, but books or major newspapers or magazine articles Not a blog, or user edited website, like Wikipedia, or IMDB, or your personal "knowledge" Not press releases, or the subjects website, or comments from people related to the subject in any way. :If so, then please check out the specific additional requirements depending on the subject at [[WP:N|our notability page]]. As it is about a company/product these are at [[WP:Notability (organizations and companies)]]. If you think it still qualifies, please read [[WP:Your first article]] and start your article at [[WP:Articles for creation]] using only what independent third parties have said, not what the company has said. However, if you have any connection with the company whatsoever, then please read and follow our [[WP:COI|guidance on conflict of interest]]. - Good luck - ~~~~

Knowledge[edit]

:Hi [[User:xxx|xxx]] Wikipedia is '''not''' interested in who you are, where you are from, what your caste is, what you "know", or [[Wikipedia:No original research|what you have found out]]. Wikipedia is '''only''' interested in what has already been published in [[WO:RS|reliable sources]], which need to be [[WP:CITE|cited]] in order to support information added to our pages. You are adding statements without any references, so they are being removed, and will continue to be removed. For information on how to add citations, please see [[Help:Referencing for beginners]], and please only cite [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], not blogs, or sources without a reputation for being independent and for fact checking - Thank you - ~~~~

Delink US[edit]

Delink as [[WP:COMMONWORDS]] "Do not link to the "United States", because that is an article on a very broad topic".

Plurals[edit]

The grammar rules on Collective nouns (sports teams, musical groups etc.) are complex, Comparison of American and British English#Formal and notional agreement covers the UK v US differences, but as Guns N' Roses are an American band we have to consider whether the title is a plural - as in the Ramones The Stooges or the New York Jets, all of which use "are", or singular as in Metallica or Blondie which use "is". The consensus was that Guns N' Roses is a plural, so "are" is correct. -

Inclusion criteria[edit]

As stated at Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#Adding individual items to a list:-

All lists must have clearly defined inclusion criteria, which this list does not have
Every entry should meet the notability criteria for its own article. Red-linked entries are acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the list, and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the future. This prevents indiscriminate lists, and prevents individual lists from being too large to be useful to readers.
Editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles.
All items on the list must follow Wikipedia's core content policies of Verifiability (through good sources in the item's one or more references), No original research, and Neutral point of view

As per the above, All redlinks, without a verifiable citation, should be removed which I have done.
Entries without an article, but with a citation should only remain if it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming, although exactly how this is to be assessed is not explained. I suggest that if such an article is not forthcoming within a year it fails this criterion
I believe we should "choose to limit the list to entries with a Wikipedia articles", and eliminate all redlinks - as point 3 above - but that, unlike the criteria immediately above - is a matter for consensus. Does anyone object to the removal of all redlinks? And if so, for what reason(s) within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Arjayay (talk) 15:53, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Can I edit?[edit]

There is no simple answer to that question that would not mislead. Oversimplifying, and nevertheless throwing probably too many links at you for which I apologize: yes, you can: if reliable, secondary, independent sources exist that verify the changes made, and you cite those sources using inline citations with a modicum of transparency when you make those edits, and the verified material you add is written from a neutral point of view, and contains no original research, and would not be undue weight to include, and if you are reverted, you discuss the changes instead of edit warring and after discussion there is consensus to include some or all of the changes proposed. Best regards

Please understand that Wikipedia is not interested in what the article subject, their website, their company, management, employees, PR agents, relatives, friends or anyone else connected to them, in any way, say about them. It is only interested in what reliable, independent sources, who have no connection whatever with the person, have published about them. Without references showing that the person has had substantial coverage, in reliable, independent sources, they should not have a Wikipedia article at all, as these is no proof that they are Notable in Wikipedia's special sense of the word.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to XXX, did not appear constructive and has been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 16:33, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Unless your XXXXX has received significant coverage - (e.g. whole articles, not just passing mentions) in reliable sources (e.g. National/international magazines or newspapers) that are totally independent of you (e.g. not your press releases or website}, your XXXXX is not Notable enough to have a Wikipedia article.
Even if it has received extensive coverage, you should not be writing the article, as you have a Conflict of interest.
Wikipedia does not publish original research or original ideas, it only covers what has already been reported by independent, reliable sources. -

Placenames[edit]

Placenames Please '''stop''' changing the names within articles to be different from the article title. This is the English Wikipedia, and our articles are based on the [[WP:COMMONNAME|common name in English]] '''not''' the [[WP:Official names|official name]], and the common name should be used throughout the article, other than a brief mention of the official name in the lead and infobox. We may, eventually, change the name, as we did at Mumbai, after about 10 years, but other articles, such as Bangalore (changed in 2006) are still under their "English" names, as this is what English readers recognize. - Thank you - ~~~~

:No, as per [[WP:COMMONNAME]] This is the English Wikipedia, and our articles are based on the [[WP:COMMONNAME|common name in English]] '''not''' the official name, and this name should be used throughout the article, other than a brief mention of the official name in the opening line and the infobox. We may, eventually, change the name, as we did at Mumbai, after about 10 years, but other articles, such as [[Bangalore]] are still under their "English" names, although the official name changed in 2006, as this is what English readers recognize. This is standard across Wikipedia - we will not be changing [[Spain]] to [[Espana]], [[Finland]] to [[Suomi]], [[Vienna]] to [[Wien]], [[Munich]] to [[Munchen]] or any of numerous other articles, where the English name differs from the "official" name. - Thank you - ~~~~

Non-English edits[edit]

==Non-English edits==

[[File:Information orange.svg|25px|alt=Information icon|link=]] Your edits at [[X X X X X]] have been deleted, as this is the English language Wikipedia; '''please only make additions to our articles in English'''.

Thanks for removing the phone number at [[ ‎]]. Just so you are aware, this was part of a long-running phone-scam, which tries to use our articles on Nigerian subjects, especially Nigerian Universities. This can be seen from the edits of that IP [[Special:Contributions/ ]] - the same (mobile) number was also added to [[ ]] and [[ ]].

Overlinking[edit]

==Overlinking==

Hi - I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at [[ ]], for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason. As explained at ‎ [[WP:OVERLINKING]] we only link the '''first''' use of a term in any main section of an article, and we do not normally link:-

* Everyday words understood by most readers.
* Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
* Common units of measurement, years and dates
There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, we are trying to reduce this, not increase it - Thanks - ~~~~

Google knowledge graph[edit]

:We have no control about what Google choose to include. Our standard template for such wuestions is ::{{subst:HD/GKG}} :However, you have a clear Conflict of interest (please read and follow [[WP:Conflict of interest|]]) and I assume you are also being paid for editing your client's article. '''Under our terms of use you must make a [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|]] before making any further edits to our articles'''. - Thank you ~~~~

Unsourced[edit]

:Hi [[User:XXX]] Firstly; please put new posts at the bottom of any talk page, not the middle, and give the post a title (use the "add topic" tab at the top if you do not know how to add titles). Secondly; please sign all posts on talk pages with 4 tildes <nowiki> ( ~~~~ ) </nowiki> which will add your signature and a timestamp. As for your question; as I clearly stated in my edit summary, your edits were reverted because they were unsourced, and I also left a long explanation about my reversion, including several useful links, on your talk page. All information added to Wikipedia articles should be sourced to a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] where the accuracy of that information can be checked, or as we would say, [[WP:V|verified]]. Wikipedia has no interest whatsoever in who you are, where you are from, or what you "know" - Wikipedia is only interested in what published [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] have already said about a subject, and these need to be properly [[WP:CITE|cited]]. Please see [[Help:Referencing for beginners|]] for how to do that. Thanks - ~~~~

Unsourced 2[edit]

:You have not been accused of false additions, but of unsourced additions. We don't know whether they are true or not, because you have not [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|cited a reference]], from a [[WP:Reliable sources|reliable source]], to [[WP:Verifiability|verify]] the information. Wikipedia is '''not''' interested in who you are, where you are from or what you "know", only what has already been published in [[WP:Reliable sources|reliable sources]]. The [[WP:Burden|burden]] is upon whoever adds information to also provide a detailed reference to support that information - Please see [[Help:Referencing for beginners]] for the "how-to" - ~~~~

Castelists[edit]

As XXXX comes under our Caste/community rules, ONLY people with their own Wikipedia articles, AND a reference from a reliable source that confirms that they are of that caste/community, can be included. Surnames, parentage and places of birth are not acceptable "proof" of caste/community membership.
If they are alive, you should provide a source where they self-identify as being members, as people who wish to disassociate themselves from the caste/community must NOT be included, as this contravenes WP:BLP.
For more information please see User:Sitush/Common#Castelists - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 16:33, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

==Caste, ethnic and religious lists==

Please note that people added to a caste-list, or any similar ethnic or religious list, '''must''' include a reference from a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] that show they are a member of that group. Surnames, parentage, places of birth or any other indicators, are not acceptable "proof" of caste/community membership. If they are alive, you should provide a reference from a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] where they '''self-identify''' as being members of the caste/community, as people who wish to disassociate themselves from the caste/community must NOT be included, as this contravenes [[WP:BLP]] For more information please see [[User:Sitush/Common#Castelists]] - ~~~~

IOSR Journals[edit]

== IOSR Journals ==
Hi IOSR journals (they publish multiple titles) is on the original Beall's list [https://beallslist.net/,] which largely started the awareness of the predatory publishing problem. It has long been considered a predatory publisher on WP - I first became aware of it when I had my knuckles rapped by an admin for adding it as a reference to an article. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=100&offset=0&ns0=1&ns4=1&ns100=1&search=insource%3A%22iosrjournals.org%22&advancedSearch-current={%22namespaces%22:} This] is a list of current uses of IOSR journals on en.wikipedia - 59 uses mostly spam link reports, 2 AFD discussions, one Help desk and one copyright discussion - no use in any articles as a reference whatsoever.

Indic - Why?[edit]

Please read [[WP:NOINDICSCRIPT]] and the 7 main discussions listed there It used to be chaos on some articles, with long lists of different names (not limited to the 22 scheduled languages, but minor languages as well) and arguments about which languages should be included/excluded, and which order they should be in. Language-warring is still a major problem with India-related Wikipedia articles, especially falsification of figures, but it is much better than it used to be, since the introduction and tightening up of [[WP:NOINDICSCRIPT]]. - Best wishes - ~~~~
