E-mails
[edit]You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.
Broadcasted
[edit]The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes 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 May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.
Notable White Mountain Artists
[edit]Why are you deleting Notable White Mountain Artists from White Mountain Art? You deleted one of the best known, Frank Henry Shapleigh. And, why are you removing external links from those who do not have Wiki pages? What do you know about this subject? JJ (talk) 16:20, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hello User:JohnJHenderson
Wikipedia is not interested in what you "know" about a subject, nor even what I "don't know" about that subject, only what has already been published by independent, reliable sources with an established reputation for fact-checking
Looking at your talk page - you state "Please see my site at http://whitemountainart.com/." you have, therefore, a clear conflict of interest in promoting your own website, by adding links to that website, promotional links which I deleted. Furthermore, Wikipedia does not allow External links in body text in any case, please see WP:EL specifically WP:ELLIST.
You also added a totally unacceptable statement "Please don't add names to this list without "talking" to JohnJHenderson at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JohnJHenderson" " - Nobody WP:OWNS an article, and nobody needs your permission to edit it, so I deleted that as well.
Only "notable" people should be added to lists, hence the hidden text statement "Please review guidelines for Notable people at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28people%29" and the standard method of proving that someone is "notable" is their having a Wikipedia article. There is a standard warning template Template:Uw-badlistentry which covers contraventions of this, and there is a standard hidden text for use in the article, which I have just added, along with deleting the entries without articles.
Given your conflict of interest (see above) please do not edit that article again, but suggest changes, with references to WP:Reliable sources (not your website) on the articles talk page.
If you think there are artists that meet Wikipedia's article inclusion criteria and "deserve" an article, please create these and have them accepted before re-adding their names to that page , Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Edit
[edit]Brother, you messaged my talk page. I want you to edit that draft Hill Top Educational Institute as I am in ammature editor and I don't know a lot about wiki Syed Shahzaman1 (talk) 15:45, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Syed Shahzaman1 There are more than 1.5 million schools in India,[1], and very few of them have a Wikipedia article, because most are not WP:Notable, in Wikipedia's meaning of the word.
The first thing you must do is show that the school is WP:Notable. To do that you must provide three different sources of information about Hill Top Educational Institute that are:-
- Extensive - not just passing mentions or inclusions in lists, but extensive coverage - a lengthy newspaper article, a magazine article, or several pages in a book
And - Independent - not anything published by the school, or anything based on press releases issued by the school, or based on the schools website or social media
And - Reliable - published by a body with a recognized reputation for fact-checking
- Please note all three sources must meet all three criteria
If you can provide three such sources, to show that the school is notable, we can look at creating an article, but until then, there is nothing to base an article on - Arjayay (talk) 16:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Syed Shahzaman1 provide the links at Draft talk:Hill Top Educational Institute, making sure they meet all three criteria. - Arjayay (talk) 16:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Can we consider this link
- This school is affiliated with govt of India under UDISE NO. 01191101803 Syed Shahzaman1 (talk) 16:20, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Oogenesis
[edit]I get the sense it may be students somewhere(likely minors) editing as part of a class. 331dot (talk) 09:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed 331dot but it is poorly organized/uncontrolled - I thought projects were supposed to have an organizer? They are even worse at Cleavage (embryo) - mass copyvios and unsourced additions - hence my request at WP:RPP - Arjayay (talk) 09:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Many things are supposed to happen that don't. :) Even if WP:WEP is well advertised (which I'm not sure) people still might not be aware of it. 331dot (talk) 09:48, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed again 331dot (I'm rarely this agreeable) - as seen here they are adding lists of "edited by" names. - Arjayay (talk) 10:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Arjayay, apologies for reverting you. I misread the diffs so reverted my revert. S0091 (talk) 18:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
List of thunder gods: rename
[edit]Hello, sorry to bother you. I picked you at random from the revision history of the ""List of thunder gods" page because I wanted to get some input on the last topic I added on the talk page, about renaming the page. May I ask for your opinion on the matter? Thank you in advance and have a nice day! --Karama20 (talk) 18:42, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day!
[edit]Happy First Edit Day! Hi Arjayay! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:02, 1 November 2024 (UTC) |
Changes to Shaheed Bhagat Singh College
[edit]I have made some significant changes to the article, but I am not sure, if everything is good, can you please review the article once?
Thank you in advance! Zuck28 (talk) 14:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Zuck28 both the "Campus" and "Academic programmes" sections need references. Additionally, I'm not sure the "Learning methods" paragraph is notable enough to include, as it is no different to almost any other college . - Arjayay (talk) 15:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the guidance. I have removed the non-notable part and added the references to the sections you mentioned.
- Zuck28 (talk) 16:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Also, if you have some time, could you please review this page I created Jumana Abdu Rahman
- Thanks again!
- Zuck28 (talk) 16:42, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Zuck28 - I'm not a checking service, but from a quick look at Jumana Abdu Rahman please read and follow WP:LASTNAME and we do not normally include non-notable awards - i.e. awards without their own Wikipedia article - but I can't remember where that guideline is. - Arjayay (talk) 17:09, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
Happy First Edit Day!
[edit]Happy First Edit Day, Arjayay, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC) |

Excessive reverting
[edit]Hi,
While I appreciate your commitment to fighting vandalism, you didn't even try and let me add sources to the Gordon the Big Engine article. You instantly reverted it; your last revision caused an edit conflict and the redirect to miss out on sources that didn't exist before it was deleted.
Please be more careful in future.
Thanks, Apollo 2A02:C7C:2DCE:1F00:7141:961B:60B2:D440 (talk) 21:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gordon the Big Engine where the consensus was that it should be a redirect - you would need to overturn that decision before even trying to recreate an article - Arjayay (talk) 21:48, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- may I see the policy that says I need to overturn a decision instead of just.. I don't know.. recreating it with better sources that weren't in the old article? 2A02:C7C:2DCE:1F00:7141:961B:60B2:D440 (talk) 21:50, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Arjayay, excuse me joining this discussion. @2A02:C7C:2DCE:1F00:7141:961B:60B2:D440: take a look at Wikipedia:Deletion review which is what you need to follow if you want to change the outcome of an Articles for deletion discussion. Best, Opolito (talk) 23:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- I never said I wanted to reverse the outcome of the discussion. I wanted to create the article again, using better sourcing. The AfD was a few years ago, and new sources have appeared that did not exist back then. I would like to do that, but right now I've had a string of edits reverted repeatedly, and I don't want to get warned or blocked. 2A02:C7C:2DCE:1F00:7141:961B:60B2:D440 (talk) 23:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- The decision was to delete the article. If you want to recreate the article with new sources, you are asking to reverse that decision. So you need to follow Wikipedia:Deletion review which says "Deletion review may be used... if significant new information has come to light since a deletion that would justify recreating the deleted page" - which is exactly the case here. Opolito (talk) 00:03, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for stepping in Opolito - I had to stop early last night - I couldn't have explained the situation better - thanks again - Arjayay (talk) 09:54, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Soviet ship Stary Bolshevik
[edit]Hi, You rolled back my edits today to my edits yesterday (I have a dynamic IP), although I cited the sources. Why? --88.200.199.19 (talk) 16:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies for that 88.200.199.19 looking back through the log, I was trying to revert the edit to Michael Oliver (referee) immediately before yours in the Recent changes list (I remember being confused later that it had not been reverted). I suspect the "Live update" option shunted the list down, just as I clicked on revert, but I should have checked - so apologies again - I have reverted myself - Arjayay (talk) 16:34, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. --88.200.199.19 (talk) 16:45, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
The immediate, 'only warning' templates
[edit]Hi, Arjayay. I am totally with you about the unsourced content added by the guy at Limbu people, and would support a block at his next unsourced edit. One minor issue regarding templating: the Multi-level templates like {{uw-unsourced1}} through {{uw-unsourced4}} end at their last enumerated digit (usually -4, sometimes -3). The *-im template is not the one that comes after *-4, it is used immediately with no preceding warning template when a user's behavior is so egregious that they do not merit any of the 1 to 4 sequence of increasingly serious template warnings, instead you skip them all and go straight to the *-im template, which says: "This is your only warning...". Not a big deal, but thought I should point it out.
Fwiw, when I see someone ignoring a series of warnings and carrying blithely along on the same path, I always consider whether it is possible that they might be unaware of any of the messages, which is the case with some people using the mobile interface. If they are, you can see it in a tag in the history, although I am still trying to work out exactly which tags imply they do not see the warnings and thus cannot react. In the case of this editor, none of those tags are present, and unless there is some other impediment to seeing them that I am not aware of, they should have seen them by now. (I suppose it's possible they turned off notifications of Talk page messages in their Preferences, but seems extremely unlikely for such a new editor.)

About Gaurav Devasi Page
[edit]Gaurav Devasi is a regional cinema actor about whom a lot of information is available on Google. He also has a Google panel. His data has been tampered with by some unknown person due to which we are facing difficulty in creating the biography of the correct person.
Instead of targeting him for removal yourself, please help in bringing this artist to Wikipedia.
As it is necessary for all notable persons to be on Wikipedia, this artist is also demanding his rights. 223.189.93.106 (talk) 11:53, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
@Arjayay: You reverted my changes which had both sources with range. The revision you reverted to had range with two source pinkvilla and bollywoodhungama source but with same ref tag "<ref name="bo">" and it caused only one source to be seen repeated twice. In my last revision, I fixed this error. You will have to remove the ref name tag from one of the source. RangersRus (talk) 00:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
