Why have you turned many reliably-sourced articles about major insurgent attacks, with double digit death tolls, into redirects? You've given your only reason in edit summaries as content fork, but none of them are that. They're all easily notable enough for articles in their own right & have info in them that isn't in the articles which you've redirected them to. You don't appear to have started any discussions in relation to any of the articles, so there's no consensus for the major changes you've made.

:I'll refer you to the comments I made at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Afghanistan#Terrorist attack redirects]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Africa#Terrorist attack redirects]], and [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Terrorism#Terrorist attack redirects]]:<blockquote>The reason I redirected these particular attacks is that the articles were stubs and the attacks were covered in other articles in about as much detail (or rather with more or less the same amount of quality content), making the stubs unnecessary [[WP:Content forks]]. If the articles can be expanded and reach a higher level of quality, I would of course be in favour of doing so rather than redirecting them, but having a large number of articles that could be summarized in a paragraph on a larger article is not in my opinion helpful – it just makes it more difficult to maintain the content.</blockquote>and<blockquote>The way I see it, we shouldn't have terrorism stubs if the content can be included in an article with a broader scope. Nor should we have list articles or [[WP:Proseline]] articles (e.g. [[List of 2021 Afghanistan attacks]] or [[Boko Haram insurgency]], respectively) if the content can be ''summarized''—as opposed to ''enumerated''—in prose form. In short, we shouldn't have articles of poor quality. A major part of the problem is that basing articles on news articles does not make for quality content, it (typically) makes for poorly-written, surface-level articles.

Revision as of 19:40, 25 August 2021
This is an archive of past discussions with User:TompaDompa. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.
Just a quick note that an editor has asked for opinions on improving the navbox {{Infectious disease}}. The discussion is here. I saw you've edited it several times, so I thought I'd let you know. I hope you're staying well. Ajpolino (talk) 15:44, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello, you recently removed the lead image of the map of the British Empire that I added to the List of largest empires article. I'm hoping that this is a relatively short discussion between us. I'd like to respectfully present some of my opinions.
First of all I disagree with your assertion that "This map doesn't really improve the readers' understanding of the topic". The map does improve the reader's understanding of the topic. It presents them with the map of the largest empire in the history of the world. The size of empires is a very visual thing. When many people think of an empire they think of colored highlights and boundaries on a map. Many readers may not decide to click through to the article of the British Empire and so providing them with a visual example is helpful. The addition of the map of the British Empire fits in well with MOS:LEADIMAGE. Its a natural and appropriate representation. It's not at all of any shock value.
Second, I don't think there's anything wrong with the lead image emphasizing the top entry. I think it makes sense. It would obviously be a bit weird to include an image of the Zulu empire or the Caliphate of Cordoba because these empires (though important and significant) rank low on the list. So by this logic it follows that the empire that ranks the highest in terms of size should be the lead image.
Third, you may be surprised to find that I don't really have a problem with including a map which highlights both the British and Mongol empires...at least not in theory. Both empires are incredibly important and are the largest in the history of the world. However I do have some concerns about how the lead image would look. I wouldn't want a reader who is new to this topic to be confused. Also including two massive empires on one map could make the image seem cluttered and misshapen. I did find some maps that appear to include both the British and Mongol empires. But I don't know how precise these maps are, or how good they look. Also, I don't know if they would be usable under CC.
I want to make clear that I have no inherent problem with making a map of the Mongol Empire as the lead image of any relevant article. I think if you looked at my edit history you would find that I have a great amount of interest in that empire and time period. But of course I do have some concerns about the Mongol Empire map being used as the lead image for the List of largest empires article because it seems rather obvious to me that the largest empire on that list should be the lead image. -TrynaMakeADollar (talk) 07:11, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
The map you added doesn't improve the readers' understanding of the topic, it actually has the opposite effect as it is misleading. It includes Antarctic claims (not included in the area on the list) and includes every territory that was ever part of the British Empire, rather than presenting a snapshot of the greatest extent (which certainly wouldn't include the Thirteen Colonies, for example). It's suitable for informing readers about which parts of the world have been under British colonial rule, but not about the British Empire's status as the largest empire in history.
I don't think the article should have only a map of the largest empire of all time. It overemphasizes the top entry to detriment of all other entries. I also don't think that the gallery this article used to have was a particularly good solution. A single map which combines the top two entries would be a good compromise, though having no map whatsoever is also a perfectly valid option.
There's no reason a map of both empires would need to get cluttered. The map you added of the British Empire is fairly cluttered, but that's mostly because there is a bunch of text. It wouldn't be particularly difficult to create a map of both empires which is colour-coded such that we can simply write "The British Empire (red) and Mongol Empire (green) were the largest and second-largest empire, respectively" in the caption—the overlap is minimal and easily solved with shading. I just happen to lack the skills to make such a map. I'll make a request over at WP:GLMAP. TompaDompa (talk) 12:05, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Discussion about First Lady and Second Gentleman-designate titles in infoboxes of Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff
Please join a discussion here regarding whether the terms "First Lady of the United States Designate" and "Second Gentleman of the United States Designate" should be in the infoboxes of Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff, spouses of the president-elect and vice president-elect, respectively. We need to come to a consensus. Thank you for your participation. cookie monster(2020)75521:25, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
Amitchell125: That looks pretty good, thank you very much! Two minor things: I think it would look better if the British Empire used a single, consistent shade – right now, Ireland, Gambia (and maybe also the rest of British West Africa? It looks slightly brighter to me...), Jamaica, Cyprus, and Newfoundland and Labrador are shaded differently than the rest – but maybe there's a good reason that different shades are used? Also, I think removing the borders would be an improvement since they only apply to the time period of the British Empire and not the Mongol Empire. TompaDompa (talk) 10:20, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
An RV that came under suspicion for reeking of meth, echoing with screams or driving on the wrong side of the road would be a "subsequent suspicious RV". But one catching heat for doing a thing that's only considered suspicious as a consequence of the main subject doing it similarly is a "subsequently suspicious RV". But don't get me wrong, you're also right. I appreciate and respect that! Just saying, think about it. InedibleHulk (talk) 13:52, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Spanish Empire shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Confine this to the talk page, please. - Donald Albury14:38, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
@Donald Albury: I see where you're coming from, and I had no intention to keep reverting. The other editor has clearly shown that they have little to no interest in working collaboratively. I figured I would give them one last chance to back off or engage in discussion (note that I had left a couple of messages on their user talk page, which they ignored) before taking this to WP:ANI for reasons of them being WP:NOTHERE. Oh well, I guess it got an administrator's attention anyway. TompaDompa (talk) 14:49, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Both of you reverted the other twice within an hour, so I issued the same warning to both of you. As long as neither of you make changes to that section of the article until such time as consensus is reached on the article talk page on that section of the article, I will be happy. - Donald Albury15:30, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Stop YOUR DISRUPTIVE edits on World Language
Stop your crazy disruption of World Language article. I am going to undo all the edits you made and restore the article to how it was before. Come to the talk section to discuss. Dajo767 (talk) 02:04, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Further to my comments and question in "Talk/World Languages > Two categories?" - here are a few extracts from various sites which may be worth considering as we try to come to some sort of 'equilibrium':
1. I think it's important to retain the English>French>Spanish>Portuguese>other languages hierarchy to accurately reflect the sources - TompaDompa (talk) 20:10, 18 October 2020 (UTC).
2. I would categorize and phrase it like this: English is universally considered a world language. French is generally, usually, or often considered a world language. Spanish is occasionally or sometimes considered a world language. Portuguese is rarely considered a world language. The other languages are generally not considered world languages. TompaDompa (talk) 22:27, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
3. I'd prefer the following labels:
English: universally (in all sources that accept the idea of there being such a thing as a world language);
French: generally or usually (in all sources that use the term "world language" in the plural);
Spanish: mostly (in most sources that use the term "world language" in the plural);
Portuguese: often (still in the majority of sources that use the term "world language" in the plural);
The others: occasionally or sometimes (in a minority of sources).

4. That^ works for me. TompaDompa (talk) 21:42, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
5. In: Wikipedia - Global language system [de Swaan]:
English is described as'hypercentral' --- At the second highest level, 13 [>12] supercentral languages are very widely spoken languages that serve as connectors between speakers of central languages: Arabic, Chinese, ... French, German, Hindustani, Japanese, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili and Turkish...[Dutch is not mentioned].
and:
6. Pyramid of languages of the world
This pyramid illustrates the hierarchy of the world's languages as proposed by Graddol (1997) in his book, 'The future of English? A guide to forecasting the popularity of the English language in the 21st century', published by the British Council:
The big languages: English, French.
Regional languages (languages of the United Nations are marked with asterisk): Arabic*, Mandarin*, English*, French*, German, Russian*, Spanish* and Portuguese..[Dutch, Hindi, Malay, Swahili, and Japanese are not mentioned].
7. Also in Wikipedia: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) ... is a term used mostly by Western linguists to refer to the variety of standardized, literary Arabic that developed in the Arab world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is the language used in academia, print and mass media, law and legislation, though it is generally not spoken as a mother tongue... MSA is a pluricentric standard language taught throughout the Arab world in formal education. It differs significantly from many vernacular varieties of Arabic that are commonly spoken as mother tongues in the area; these are only partially mutually intelligible with both MSA and with each other depending on their proximity in the Arabic dialect continuum.
We should be very careful with ranking languages because that might suggest that world language and global language are gradable terms, that global languages can be more global and less global. — BTW, I believe de Swaan is slightly off topic. It seems he uses the term global language system in the sense "global system of languages" (global language-system) rather than "system of global languages" (global-language system), and that's why he covers all extant languages. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 14:52, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
How about a table that lists all possible world languages by number of sources that classify them as such in the first column, and that has another column with symbols, perhaps letters, that identify each such source? Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 16:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
This discussion really belongs at Talk:World language, and I've made a couple of comments there addressing some of these points, but I'll briefly reply to a few things here. Firstly, having spent more time searching for and reading sources since then, I'm less inclined to use either my phrasing or LiliCharlie's phrasing about the extent to which certain languages are considered world languages than I was back in November. Secondly, Ulrich Ammon [de] actually does treat the globality of world languages as something that can be graded and even ranked.[1] Thirdly, de Swaan's global language system (also referred to as the "world language system", see e.g. JSTOR 1601190) is indeed a global system of languages rather than a system of global languages as noted above, but since Benrabah equates the terms "supercentral language" and "world language",[2] I wouldn't say that it's off-topic. Fourthly, I don't think we should simply list the languages by number of sources that consider them world languages—that misses a lot of nuance in what the source actually say (in particular, it would not distinguish between a source not discussing a language at all and a source outright dismissing a language as not being a world language), treats all sources as being of equal weight (which they of course are not, since WP:CONTEXTMATTERS and so on), and is highly susceptible to WP:POVPUSHers adding a bunch of low-quality sources to move their favourite language up the list. With those points out of the way, I suggest that further discussion take place at Talk:World language. TompaDompa (talk) 23:36, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
If reliable sources do this[5] (devote significant amounts of prose to reactions), there's no reason to think it is unreasonable for us to do so. Biosthmors (talk) 02:33, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi TompaDompa, I have reverted all of your edits to the page List of highest-grossing R-rated films. All of your edits has damaged the fluidity of the page. Your edits are not at all correct. All of the reference added to the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train was discussed back in the talk page with User: Betty Logan. With discussion being successful, I added the reference and Betty has even thanked me for my edits. He didn't termed my edits as original research. It was accepted by all. You should induce in editing the whole as per your own will. Minor changes like box office count update and adding new film to table is acceptable but changing the entire page is like insulting and negleing the edits of others. These edits were already accepted by all. If you want to check that your edits are correct then better use your sandbox and then discussed back with the talk page before change the contents of the article. I hope in future you won't make any mistake. Thank you. いちか かすが (talk) 16:44, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

A few days ago, I added a maintenance tag which you removed a quarter of an hour later.
Today, I made a series of consecutive edits[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] adding some maintenance tags and making some WP:BOLD changes.
You reverted all those edits, asking that I discuss on the talk page.[14]
I answered in the affirmative and re-added the maintenance tags which had been removed without explanation.[15] I also started writing a comment on the talk page.
Before I had had time to post my comment on the talk page as I said I would, you removed the maintenance tags again, telling me not to edit the article without having looked at the talk page (which I had of course already done).[16]
I posted my comment on the talk page, suggesting that we locate a source containing an explicit currency conversion.[17] I then went looking for such a source, found one, and added it to the article.[18]
You reverted my edit adding the new source and told me not to edit the article until talk page discussion had ceased.[19]
The whole Demon Slayer box office numbers is very up in the air due to various ways of converting. You cited the source of Crunchyroll that has the worldwide gross at $414,385,913. Let us assume that this was the valid amount. This source was published on April 05, 2 weeks ago. Since then there has been further grosses in Japan, South Korea, among regions. I highly doubt that the gross did not increase since the Crunchyroll article (or are you saying that the gross was even lower on the date of the article's reporting date?) I won't get into whether the conversion is correct, just the fact that the source cited is 2 weeks old and most likely does not accurately reflect the total gross even by the standard that Crunchyroll was following. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LetsmaybeLP92 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi TompaDompa, I just came across this edit, where you closed an SPI yourself; I know it may seem silly in some cases, but we generally reserve this for clerks and admins because additional cleanup might be needed – in this case, I've now tagged the sock and requested a global lock. Thanks and best, Blablubbs|talk19:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
I see. I figured there were no "loose ends"; the need for a global lock didn't occur to me. Oh well, I won't do it again. TompaDompa (talk) 19:59, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
STOP removing the template for the World Language
I want you to stop removing the template attached to the World Language. i do not want to discuss with you because you are a very difficult person to engage in a productive debate. So I am just going to say this - do not remove that template on the World Language. Goodbye. Full stop. Dajo767 (talk) 07:10, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
That's complete nonsense and you know it. I reverted you once. If anyone is edit warring here, it's you. You made a WP:BOLD edit, I reverted it, and you reinstated it instead of discussing it on the talk page. TompaDompa (talk) 21:25, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, nowhere. It seems like the kind of trivia that doesn't belong in an encyclopaedic article about the film in the first place; in WP:10YEARS, nobody is going to come to the article looking for, or expecting, this information. TompaDompa (talk) 10:44, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
It is quite reasonable to add. I find it important because the analyst researcher is studying its success. BTW, the Japanese version of the page placed it below public response. I understand that I placed it in the wrong section (Box Office) But like to know if we can add it to the promotion section. Catropst Benzt (talk) 10:58, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
In that case, the Japanese version should also remove but I haven't seen any form of conflict there based on mentioned policy. Well, there is some form of mutual understanding among the editor in that part. Please think about it. What I am trying to say that we are not promoting the film by adding the section. Just trying to reach the reader that how the film box office was increasing due to this fan distribution. Catropst Benzt (talk) 12:00, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Former throne articles
Are you trying to get rid of all the former monarchy articles? I don't necessarily have a problem with that. China's former monarchy is less notable than those of Russia or Italy, which have already been deleted. But I do question some of your edit summaries. "The end of the empire is really the end of the story." Say what? It is a "former throne" article. The end of the empire is when the story starts. "Line of succession" might not be exactly the right phrase. But we can come up with something better. It is not a reason to delete an entire section. If "heir" or "successor" is the terminology used in the sources, it is valid for Wikipedia to follow that. After all the recent subtractions, the article is little more than a stub at this point.
I brought this article back to life when I noticed someone had blanked it soon after an AfD had resolve to keep it. Later, I noticed that many other former throne have been deleted recently. What's going on with the French ones? We can make up an AfD for the three remaining former throne articles. 99to99 (talk) 10:51, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
The result of the AfD was "keep." Are you relitigating it? I wrote only that Pujie was Puyi's heir, not that he was in the line of succession for anything. Are you arguing that Puyi had one heir with respect to Manchukou and another with respect to China? No source says anything like that! The Chicago Tribune calls him, "The heir to China`s throne." The NYT story says, "If Japan had won the war, Pu Jie could have become Emperor of China." Okay, I don't know if that's true. My point is that the NYT promoted him as a guy who might have been emperor of China but for a twist of fate. 99to99 (talk) 20:51, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
The AfD was in 2017. In 2020, no fewer than 40 (12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728293031323334353637383940) articles about lines of succession to defunct thrones were deleted at AfD. If this article were to present "the current line of succession" to the Qing dynasty throne and go through AfD, it would be deleted. Community WP:CONSENSUS has overwhelmingly rejected the notion of defunct thrones having lines of succession that extend to the present day as complete nonsense.The issue about Pujie is that he was made heir to the Manchukuo throne by a Manchukuo law in 1937. He wasn't made heir to the Chinese (i.e. Qing) throne which had already been defunct for a quarter of a century by then, because there was no such throne to be made heir to. So I'm not saying that Puyi had one heir with respect to Manchukou and another with respect to China – the fact of the matter is that he had an heir with respect to the Manchukuo throne (until it ceased to exist in 1945) and no heir with respect to the Chinese throne at that point in time. Manchukuo wasn't a continuation of the Qing Empire. The succession to the Manchukuo throne is consequently WP:OFFTOPIC when it comes to succession to the Chinese throne. TompaDompa (talk) 22:36, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
The 1937 law was issued by Puyi as head of a ruling house. Puyi was a Chinese emperor. How he dealt with the succession issue is therefore relevant to the article. I have already given several sources that describe Pujie as heir to the Chinese throne, or simply as Puyi's heir (without any Manchukuo-related qualification). You are arguing with various major newspapers and reference works. You don't cite any WP:RS, but only the comments of two editors made at an AfD years ago. If you are so confident that the article would be deleted, why don't you nominate it at AfD? 99to99 (talk) 02:09, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Puyi wasn't a Chinese emperor in 1937. At that time, he was emperor of Manchukuo and a former Chinese emperor. The ruling house you refer to was at that time the ruling house of Manchukuo, not the ruling house of China. Puyi had no authority whatsoever to make anyone heir to the Chinese throne in 1937, because the Chinese throne did not exist then and hadn't for a quarter of a century. What Puyi did have authority to do was appoint an heir to the Manchukuo throne and to the headship of the House of Aisin-Gioro, because those were positions that actually existed (and were held by him) in 1937. Saying that Pujie was made heir to the Chinese throne in 1937 is ahistorical nonsense; there is no heir to a defunct throne, because there is nothing to be heir to. The reason that Pujie didn't succeed Puyi as emperor of Manchukuo was that Manchukuo as a political entity had ceased to exist altogether when Puyi died in 1967. China, however, did still exist as a political entity (arguably two: the PRC and the ROC), and the reason that Pujie didn't succeed Puyi as emperor of China was that the position had been abolished more than half a century prior.The reason I'm not nominating this at AfD is that there is no reason to delete an article about the general subject of Chinese imperial succession. The reasons for deletion apply to extending the line of succession past the point at which the throne ceased to exist (hence why I phrased it the way I did: If this article were to present "the current line of succession" to the Qing dynasty throne and go through AfD, it would be deleted.). If we simply remove the ahistorical nonsense parts about succession post-abolition of the monarchy, we have solved the problem. TompaDompa (talk) 05:12, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
First and Last Time Warnings
This is the first and last time I am warning you against frequently disputing edits in the page of Demon Slayer Mugen Train without any mode of discussion just randomly removing statement shows that you are possessing the article and your account was created for single purpose. Don't disturb the success of the film with your own edits. The film has changed history of Cinema in Japan. Many Japanese user cited this article to tell people that how the film has changed Japan. Random making edits to hurt the sentiments of Japanese History might lead to arrest by law of land if your location is/are collected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.203.145.225 (talk) 04:52, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
I request you to hold a discussion before making any more edits. Your edits seem to be a conflict for many IP Users. Hope that you do not raise any more problems. Catropst Benzt (talk) 05:22, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your handling of the situation with the Demon Slayer movie article. It was this editor's first encounter with a non-obvious spam/vandalism-type situation, and it was very uplifting to see your arrival bring order to a silly misuse of Wikipedia Horsesizedduck (talk) 19:00, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
Succession to the Chinese throne
If I understand your argument correctly, everything that touches on Manchuria and Manchoukou needs to be removed because such things don't belong to an article about Chinese succession. You are aware that Puyi and the other Qing emperors were Manchu? The movie about Puyi's life is entitled The Last Emperor. Everyone understood that to mean last emperor of China. No one thinks of Puyi as the last emperor of Manchukou. You are not contributing anything to the article, just massively blanking sections. If you don't like the article, let's see you do your thing at AfD. 99to99 (talk) 17:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
This makes no sense at all. Whatever subsequent jobs Puyi may have held, he was always described as "Chinese emperor", "deposed Chinese emperor," "last emperor," or something along those lines. This status overshadowed his unfortunate involvement with Manchukuo. I have plenty of references to support this. 99to99 (talk) 04:42, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
First of based on your talk page's history, you doesn't response to enquires of no. of IP Users and Wikipedia User which agrue with your edits in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train. Either you wait for Adminstrator to block or let your Wikipedia Toolkit ClueBot III to archived the thread. Proof of your zero response.[20][21][22][23] Once the users are blocked you placed a edit summary meaning to say you cannot response to the user which are blocked.[24]
Now I am summarising all the problem of your edits in the mentioned page.
Your removal of awards were controversy: You removed the complete award of Lisa whose song Homura is the theme song of the film. Further, you removed Yahoo Search of the Year Award from the section of Accolades.
Further, you removed the tables of Japan and Worldwide Box Office without listening to the important point placed by Orichalcum : Although I also felt that the box office details for each country are becoming too excessive, I do not agree to delete two tables for worldwide and Japanese box office performance, because MOJO or The Numbers lacks data for Taiwan (3rd most earned) and Thailand, and the box office performance in Japan is the historical one.
Again you didn't listen to another important point stated by the Japanese User : For the total box office gross in the US and Canada, both MOJO and The Numbers are not doing their jobs, where several weekday counts are not properly added for the DS.
Release Section was heavily condense with only two international release dates and one important release information to China. Based on your edits, the other release dates were not important at all ( your mindset)
Reputed Sources: Where does this word arrived in Wikipedia? Both JP's Box-Office and Salty Popcorn The Movie Database are reliable sources. Don't simply reverts those edits. We all just need to prove our edits with sources.
You heavily condensed Home Media Section where you wrote : things were written like promotion and advertasing. None of the user added statement like : 50% off on first day booking. or It's a special limited edition available only for a day. (example)
The entire Issue section was removed without proper evalutions. None of them were wrong and proper sources are added to confirm the edits.
You removed the English Voice Cast unnessarily. Since, this is a English Wikipedia, English Voice cast are added along the Original voice cast.
You removed the detailed IMAX collections entirely. (mainly Japan, which should not have to be removed)
Important privilege for 4DX and MX4D were removed unnessarily.
Most Importantly you removed the economical impact of the film : Numerous tie-in merchandise related to the film have been sold in Japan. While combining both the box office collections and merchandise sales, the film has generated total sales of over ¥50 billion ($480 million) in Japan, as of 4 December 2020.
Unnessacary removal of various records in many international territories without prior discussion. The edits were highly disturbing for Japanese readers.
Response from Shinkai and Miyazaki were simply removed without proper agruement. The response were genuine since the sources are originally taken from Japanese News Magazine and the twitter handle of directors. No need to remove this section.
Finally, do not placed summary like this This indiscriminate undoing of 274 edits by over a dozen different users reintroduces a whole host of issues, including non-WP:NEUTRAL language, outright WP:PLAGIARISM, and in general a large part of it just being extremely poorly written. That's rather disruptive. I suggest discussing the specifics of what you think should be re-added on the talk page. You didn't value other experience user edits like Orichalcum and User:Maestro2016, the entire contribution of User:Ichika Kasuga was removed. Before placing this summary atleast think how much you have depressed these users.
Agree:
International Section need to be condensed ( mainly parts of central America, Latin America and Africa)
Release dates of various countries should be reorganised with proper source. (if possible: original language source)
Really, you should post your concerns about the content of the article to the article's talk page (Talk:Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train)—where other editors can add their input—rather than to my user talk page. If you take a look there, you'll see that the "Issues" section was discussed there (Talk:Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train#Issues: Author's profits) with Link20XX and Adab1za concluding that it ought to be removed altogether. You'll also see that I wrote We are perfectly capable of writing the grosses for select markets in prose, as is already done for e.g. the US and Canada. in response to the point about Box Office Mojo and The Numbers not having figures for Taiwan and Thailand—and indeed the version of the article prior to your indiscriminate reversion said It became the highest-grossing animated film of all time in Taiwan by grossing NT$360 million (US$12.6 million) in 17 days after its release and went on to gross NT$634 million in total. It also became the highest-grossing anime film in several markets, including [...] Thailand where it surpassed the previous record held by Your Name during the first weekend and went on to gross ฿124 million, and you'll see TropicAces and Link20XX agreeing with me that the tables you re-added are detrimental to the article's overall quality. It's not just me taking issue with these things (though I am the main one to perform the edits), is what I'm getting at.Your concerns ring a bit hollow to me considering you indiscriminately undid 274 edits by over a dozen different editors, rather than selectively re-adding that which you think ought not to have been removed. They also ring a bit hollow to me since you completely ignored the existing talk page discussion and reinstated your changes after being reverted and asked to take it to the talk page. Lastly, they ring hollow to me because you re-added a lot of content by blocked users, including Catropst Benzt who was WP:CheckUser blocked for (among other things) WP:Undisclosed paid editing. Do you appreciate the significance of a major contributor to this article having engaged in undisclosed paid editing? Do you understand that by reinstating those edits, you take complete responsibility for them per WP:PROXYING?All in all, reverting to this WP:PLAGIARISM-ridden, WP:UPE-laden, terribly poorly written version of the article was extremely disruptive of you, to an extent I don't think you fully appreciate. I am going to revert to the shorter version without these massive issues, and I implore you to discuss it on the article's talk page instead of WP:Edit warring.

Indeed, per MOS:JR. I'm guessing this is about this edit over at Knives Out 2. The automatic reference formatting tends to mess up the authors for Deadline Hollywood articles by creating duplicates with the same person becoming author 1 and author 2. In this case, I caught that error, but missed the improper formatting of the name. Thank you for fixing it. TompaDompa (talk) 15:52, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
DYK for Deseret (film)
On 7 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Deseret (film), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that James Benning's 1995 experimental documentary film Deseret chronicles 140 years of the history of Utah by way of 93 New York Times excerpts? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Deseret (film). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Deseret (film)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Turning articles about major attacks into redirects
Why have you turned many reliably-sourced articles about major insurgent attacks, with double digit death tolls, into redirects? You've given your only reason in edit summaries as content fork, but none of them are that. They're all easily notable enough for articles in their own right & have info in them that isn't in the articles which you've redirected them to. You don't appear to have started any discussions in relation to any of the articles, so there's no consensus for the major changes you've made. Jim Michael (talk) 15:40, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
The reason I redirected these particular attacks is that the articles were stubs and the attacks were covered in other articles in about as much detail (or rather with more or less the same amount of quality content), making the stubs unnecessary WP:Content forks. If the articles can be expanded and reach a higher level of quality, I would of course be in favour of doing so rather than redirecting them, but having a large number of articles that could be summarized in a paragraph on a larger article is not in my opinion helpful – it just makes it more difficult to maintain the content.
and
The way I see it, we shouldn't have terrorism stubs if the content can be included in an article with a broader scope. Nor should we have list articles or WP:Proseline articles (e.g. List of 2021 Afghanistan attacks or Boko Haram insurgency, respectively) if the content can be summarized—as opposed to enumerated—in prose form. In short, we shouldn't have articles of poor quality. A major part of the problem is that basing articles on news articles does not make for quality content, it (typically) makes for poorly-written, surface-level articles. Sometimes these articles can be salvaged by copyediting to bring them up to at least an adequate standard of quality—I brought 2001 bomb plot in Europe from this state to this state a few years ago, for example—but often the problem is that the sources that would be needed to create a quality article (let alone a high-quality article) simply don't exist. Ideally, we should be using secondary sources other than news media, such as scholarly journals or the work of recognized experts (to borrow a phrasing from a completely unrelated portion of WP:BLP), but the articles are of course usually written/updated when no such sources yet exist (and sometimes, those types of sources never materialize at all). I think we would be better off if we applied WP:NEWSEVENT much more strictly than we do at present, especially as it pertains to WP:DEPTH and WP:DURATION of coverage.
Thanks for that TompaDompa. Fyi, I was intending to ping you, but when I went to User:TompaDompa, you appeared to have achieved an enviable degree of anonymity. I obviously should have looked a bit further. Remembering to sign here, 86.186.155.146 (talk) 08:36, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
