Deletation of ABZY Movies

Hey, why are you deleting my article named ABZY Movies on wikipedia. Please do not delete this article I beg you please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 do not delete this article and I beg you 🙇🙇🙇🙇 Leofrancis355 (talk) 01:19, 4 July 2021 (UTC) Leofrancis355 (talk) 01:20, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Articles on Wikipedia need to be notable which needs to be evidenced by having multiple sources with significant coverage of the subject. The articles you created don't even come close and rather than go through the draft process you pushed them to main article space. Hence the request for deletion.

Why You Are Removing Gymnast Occupation In Siddharth Nigam Wikipedia

Siddharth Nigam is a professional Gymnast please don't remove the profession gymnast as his occupation He is an professional actor , gymnast & dancer Kishmish Hu Main Ok (talk) 03:13, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Kishmish Hu Main Ok, a professional gymnast is one who's actively competing in professional level competitions or shows. That's not met by the sources. Ravensfire (talk) 15:00, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Wanted you to check a few sources.

Hello! I wanted you to check these few sources and let me know that whether I could add them to Avneet Kaur's wikipedia page - media section. Kindly do tell me which ones from these 6 I could add which ones I can't (if any). Thank you. Manalijain (talk) 12:49, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Manalijain, tell you what, let's start with you telling me how those sources meet the Reliable Source criteria. Start with 3 and 6. Ravensfire (talk) 15:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Alright Ravensfire, so according to me:

3rd source leads to the official website of SutraHR and then when clicked on the March 23, 2018 article visible there, it leads to the full list of achievers. The 3rd and 4th one are connected sources. (Also if you want, then I could not use this 3rd one but use the 4th source instead)

6th source is by India Forums which is one of the biggect medium of latest film and television industry updates. Though in this article of India Forums, I agree there isn't much information given, but there's only the headline & the offical post by the actress. But it is a published source. I also have an alternative source for this one-

@Manalijain: So let's talk more about IndiaForums. Did you really read the WP:RS page? I'm questioning if you did, because in the self-published source section is this "...posts on Internet forums are all examples of self-published media" Your "source" is a forum post. Absolutely not reliable! The third source it's even a source at all - it's a search. Not a specific source that a reader could actually verify something. That's not good. On top of that, the website itself is basically a blog with nothing to show ANY editorial control. It's a blog for an HR company. Are you starting to understand why I want you to actually read that Reliable Source page? Why so many of your sources are being rejected? You aren't putting any effort into vetting them, despite some pretty direct pointers. You are using any source that hits on a search. That's discouraging from my standpoint, because you aren't putting in the effort to verify sources. Ravensfire (talk) 21:22, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Oh, okay okay! Ravensfire That's the reason that to verify the sources or get any opinion on them, I am mentioning them on many editors' talk page and on wikipedia tea-house too. Alright then, I got it about 3rd and 6th source, won't use them then.

Also, can you confirm about the rest mentioned sources, please? Manalijain (talk) 02:26, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

The edit you made

Please check the links you added to my draft Dynamo Gaming The link added by you is not working. Please dont add anything which is not relevant and it is my draft which is not yet submitted for review. So I think you should add something on your own which is not relevant. Please check it and correct it or you may restore my version. EditWiki45 (talk) 19:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ravensfire, Thanks for correcting some mistakes in my article Bagheera (upcoming film). I'll rectify those in my upcoming articles. But I have a doubt to ask with you. Before your correction, this article was not listing in search engines like Google. After you correction only it came I think, did you change anything for that? Or it came automatically? Because few of my other articles are still pending to appear in search engine even after approval.

Thanks Kamesh Aravind P (talk) 05:22, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Kamesh Aravind P, new articles usually show up in indexes in about 90 days after the article is created. This allows for issues and concerns to be spotted, raised and corrected. The WP:INDEXING page has more information. So just be patient, it will show up. Ravensfire (talk) 18:18, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Question from a spammer

reason for removing Dhadak link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sukralia (talk • contribs) 19:02, July 23, 2021 (UTC)

@Sukralia: Obviously because you were spamming a link to a non-notable, junk website. Wikipedia is the wrong place to promote a website link that. Most of your edits have been to spam poor quality sites - that's not tolerated and a good way for you to end up blocked from editing and /or the website put on the spam black list which WILL stop you or anyone else from adding links to that site. Just stop. Ravensfire (talk) 02:08, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Roshinibb

Hi Ravensfire, I'm Roshinibb you sent me a message on my talk page that I am running multiple accounts but sir this is my first ever account on wikipedia. I'm not anyone's sock. Please don't make such accusations against me and I have not reverted any work. I saw that some pages had content removed despite the sources so I put them back that's it. User:Roshinibb (talk) 02:38, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Roshinibb, fortunately, there's a SPI request to check on that, so we'll find out. I certainly hope you aren't because if you are, your edits will be reverted. I hope you have read the articles I've linked. Ravensfire (talk) 01:16, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

And they are now blocked as a sock. Ravensfire (talk) 00:58, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Why did you revert all my edits

You reverted my edits at Lavina Tandon. You said that the sources are unreliable. Didnt you see that I also added sources of IndiaToday Group and ABP live. Please check once I told u not to revert my edits without discussing. Plz dont misuse your power and check my edits throughly EditWiki45 (talk) 15:35, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

EditWiki45, You've been using unreliable sources and not starting any discussions yourself . WP:BRD is the normal cycle - Boldly make a change, but if it's Reverted, start a Discussion. That's where you need to start discussions, not demanding others do as you want. Not helpful. As I said in my edit summary, you are using unreliable sources. You cannot just use any website you find on-line, stick with high quality news sources. Starsunfolded (and similar junk sites like wikibio and celebrityborn) are NOT good sources for Wikipedia - they scrape from who knows where, including from Wikipedia itself. Don't use those. IMDB is also not a good sources, it's user-generated material that may or may not be vetted, we don't have any way to know. See WP:CITEIMDB. Ravensfire (talk) 15:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Image Delte

You deleted file that i uploaded on Dev joshi article becouse of copyright. So tell me how can I upload that file with license? Dev joshi fan (talk) 04:09, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Dev joshi fan, for someone that's alive, images used on Wikipedia need to have been released under an acceptable free license or in the public domain - see WP:IUPC. Just about every image you find online (facebook, instagram, twitter and just about every other website out there) is copyrighted and does not have a compatible license. You can always ask at the WP:IMAGEHELP for specific files. Please though, don't upload files that you find online unless the page EXPLICITLY says it has a compatible license.

Suniel Shetty Edits

Hello, I want to tell you that the photo of Shetty was not applicable to be on his main page. So, I made those edits. Please tell me that why you reverted my edits. (If you don't mind, I am reverting your edit again). Thank You! - WARSH KUMAR — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warsh Kumar (talk • contribs) 09:25, August 1, 2021 (UTC)

@Warsh Kumar: as I said, parts of your edits are contrary to Wikipedia standards. you've been told that before on your talk page and have ignored them. Please don't ask other editors to clean up after you. if you continue the same issues, your edits will continue to be reverted. Ravensfire (talk) 14:34, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Roshni Kaur confusion

Conversation with a KS sock
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Hi User:Ravensfire I want to tell you is that I am not editing on Wikipedia anymore and the person who has been editing on pages and reverting fan cruft on Bigg Boss articles and Divyanka Tripathi is User:Princepratap1234. He made this account for me which I never wanted in the first place. I don’t want to come here anymore and have moved on. Also he has some enmity with me so that’s why he is doing this. He also knows everything about me which is wrong he knows my address my house number and all private information so please block him as he is the one behind this also he did the same with the Preety account. also he uses ip users as well which the location is Lucknow Uttar Pradeah while he has an account. He also has vandalised Sanaya Irani page check here [1] and there is another one as well check the history and block as he is been doing these edits in those accounts to frame me. I hope all is clear now and I don’t care if it gets blocked but only want is you to block the user Prince as he is behind all this. His name is User:Princepratap1234 also If you didnt notice in the Roshni user name he added my name and my address [2] User:Ravensfire please see this as it’s important as this user has been framing me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:61:55dc:acdf:8c9d:7e17:1a56 (talk • contribs) 09:10, August 3, 2021 (UTC) Accusations for no reasons,first you are violating Wikipedia policies and kept vandalising Wikipedia , creating new accounts and have Been blocked Many times. Princepratap1234 (talk) 14:30, 3 August 2021 (UTC) Stop lying again and again. You have been using theses accounts I don’t even go on here anymore. Stop lying. Why would I add my address here tell me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:52:acd6:8ca2:1664:32d8:acb2 (talk) 09:32, August 3, 2021 (UTC) To the IP: Uh huh ... sure. I find that exceptionally hard to believe. Let's look at that example - that's not vandalism, that's good editing. Unless, of course, you like to add fancruft to articles, which you do. This isn't the first time you've tried nonsense like this, please just stop. It's quite sad, really. Princepratap1234: my advice is just WP:RBI (just the revert and ignore, obviously!) and not give KS any attention. Ravensfire (talk) 14:34, 3 August 2021 (UTC) User:Ravensfire honestly I am really a good person in real life but you guys especially you and Prince have made me into someone I am not and Prince has been harrassing me out of Wikipedia since March and search everything about me. My name my address and even my house how it looks like. So I know I am banned from here but he does not deserve to be here either as he is doing this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:52:acd6:8ca2:1664:32d8:acb2 (talk) 09:40, August 3, 2021 (UTC) Two big things to note - First, I'm not an admin here, so I can't do anything that you want. Second, this is outside of Wikipedia's purview. Finally, I find it highly unlike that Priceratap1234 is behind what is happening. They don't seem like that kind of person to stoop to petty insults. You've been pushing fancruft and your personal preferences for quite some time on Wikipedia, deliberately breaking policies, guidelines and the core terms of service because you've put your views above everyone else's. And you've been caught, reverted, caught again and again, reverted again and again, ranted at editors that have caught you, belittled editors and generally been a fairly unpleasant person. Think on that, would you? If there are actions ON WIKIPEDIA that do have you genuinely concerned for safety, you can reach out to WP:ARBCOM or WP:SAFETY, but you need substantially more evidence that what you've given here. Ravensfire (talk) 14:49, 3 August 2021 (UTC) First let me tell you is you don’t know me personally so you don’t have the right to say if I am a bad person or not. I am a good person in real life. Prince is behind all this because I am not talking to me at all. He keeps harrassing me and he is behind everything just because I reverted his edits last year which was vandalism. He has found everything about me and my private life my address and even my number where I never shared I will come back with proof he is not a good person at all. Also you and Prince and generally Wikipedia have made me into someone I am not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a01:4c8:52:acd6:dc17:96d6:3f15:8cad (talk) 09:58, August 3, 2021 (UTC) You are correct, I don't know you in person. I know you by your interactions here on Wikipedia. And frankly, it's a very poor and selfish impression that you've left on other editors here. You'll do anything you have to do to get your way, and that's not good on a project that requires collaboration. So who should I trust? An editor that's been highly productive, works with others and doesn't play games? Or the one that lies, creates sock after sock after sock, that won't work with others? This conversation is over. I've given you a couple of link to push your nonsense, but be assured they will not blindly accept what you've claimed and the paltry "evidence" you've given here is far from what they would need. Ravensfire (talk) 16:48, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

To make Anupama a semi protected page like earlier

Hey can you make Anupama a semi protected page again? Which can be edited by only verified account holders like us. Because past some days some anonymous users are cooking up their own story which can't be possible. Like Samar's character assassination, Anupamaa's character assassination etc. So to protect this page from anonymous users can you make it semi-protected like earlier. And only verified account holders like us will be able to edit it Pra2310 (talk) 04:54, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Pra2310, you can request page protection at WP:RFPP. I am not an admin so I can't help you there. Also,nplease look at condensing the plot. It is way, way, WAY too detailed and long right now. It should be no more than 500 words or so. Ravensfire (talk) 11:29, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Yes. I'll consider to shorten it. But the drama is becoming so high in recent episodes specially each and every character's equation with each other that it's necessary to explain it in detail. The ardent follwers of show knows that there are only 3 people who'll not leave Protagonist. These are 2nd leads Samar, Nandini and Kinjal(the 3rd lead). And some unauthorised users were making their own cooked up stories. From now on I'll update the plot after 7-10 episodes to shorten it. And thanks for suggesting me to make a request for Semi-protection of page. I allready did it. Please can you also make a request. As I'm also a new user to wiki and I made an account back in mid june, 2021. Because I'm a big fan of TMKOC also Pra2310 (talk) 12:54, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Pra2310, honestly, from a FAN perspective, the detail is needed, but remember this is a encyclopedia article with a summary of the show - the high points only. Look at the bit you just added - over 150 words!?!? Don't think of summarizing it episode by episode, but summarizing the major plot lines only. You CANNOT keep adding this level of detail over and over, it will be reverted. The level of detail you want is appropriate for a fan wiki, but no Wikipedia.

IMDB

can we add IMDb link of an actor in External link section.Princepratap1234 (talk) 14:55, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Princepratap1234, generally, yes, that's pretty common on the actor's page. It's using IMDB as a source that's problematic. What page? Ravensfire (talk) 14:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

No , only in external link section and thanks for the help.Princepratap1234 (talk) 15:01, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

External Links

Hello! After your brief discussion on my talk page regarding the external links precisely IMDb links; I would like to know about the other external links which can be considered into the External Links section of the article. And are social media links including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube considered into external links? ManaliJain (talk) 09:30, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

ManaliJain, please read WP:NOSOCIAL. Ravensfire (talk) 11:19, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Okay, and what about YouTube? I want to know about using YouTube links as a source as well as using YouTube links in external links section. Are both of the options or anyone of the options allowed? ManaliJain (talk) 12:01, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

ManaliJain, it's going to depend. WP:YOUTUBE talks about using Youtube as a source. As with most sources, the answer is "it depends". Using a video to source that it exists? That's a primary source, and if nothing else has noticed it, it's probably not notable. News videos from an official channel can be good sources. Random videos? Not so much. As for external links, see WP:YOUTUBE-EL. Again, ELMINOFFICIAL and NOSOCIAL are going to restrict what goes into the External links section. I can't give you a blanket statement, like many things on Wikipedia, it's going to be situational. Wikipedia is not a place to promote a person's social media feeds, always keep that in mind. Ravensfire (talk) 12:06, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Alright, thank you for the clarification! ManaliJain (talk) 12:31, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey @Ravensfire:, I also wanted to know about Bollywood Hungama being used in the external link section? Here on WP:EL/P, I didn't find any mentions about Bollywood Hungama. Is it allowed or it's optional too? ManaliJain (talk) 13:58, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

You'll see it added on some articles, but it's not as common as IMDB. I personally wouldn't be adding it to articles when there's a good IMDB page available. Wikipedia is not a directory of links. Ravensfire (talk) 14:09, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! ManaliJain (talk) 14:32, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Need to stop

Hi I am User: Cactinites this user User:Ruhanika457 is doing edits that are not allowed here see this [ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1037909931] in this edit this user is removing a reliable source which is not allowed here. Also see this [ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1038093948] in this edit this user is removing a whole section which is necessary for Wikipedia biographies.Please stop this user from doing this type of edits. Cactinites (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

@Cactinites: I'm going to assume you've tried to ask them either on the article talk page (preferred!) or their talk page, as that's always the first step in dispute resolution. You have, right? That said, the refs are probably useful, but could be better placed. For example, the first one is after the "and"? Do it doesn't support the first clause? On the second - Wikipedia really isn't some gossip tabloid. Personally, I despise the "XYZ is dating PDQ" in the articles. It's pure tabloid crap. Again though, you need to ask the editor, politely. Ravensfire (talk) 01:14, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Providence religious movement article

Hello Ravensfire, hope you are well

On your recent reversion of my edits on the Providence page, you cited Wikipedia's dead link policy.

I understand why you cited it, however as I am sure you know in the BLP policy material that is contentious and potentially libelous to a living person must be cited strongly.

The claim on the page about the salvation in Providence is not actually supported by these sources, and in his article Sakurai himself says that he only has a feeling this could be the Providence teaching, but that it is impossible to know because the doctrines are not published/ public knowledge.

I could not find replacement sources. I assume good faith here so wanted to message you GIOScali (talk) 00:14, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Also I am sure you saw I reverted your edits, if you disagree I prefer we discuss it on the talk page with other editors

GIOScali (talk) 00:15, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Please discuss on the article talk page. I will be reverting your edits again, please get consensus first. As you noted, this is a contentious article where you have a very specific POV that often has been contrary to Wikipedia policies. Also, note that archive links are perfectly acceptable and both links you removed as dead have working archive links. Come on, really? Ravensfire (talk) 16:13, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:Ravensfire I just wanted to say I am now realised that it’s no point coming over here. So I am leaving Wikipedia for good. Not coming back here again and never will be as it’s been affected my health. As they say health comes first. So please could you ask admins to delete and close my user name page in this user.

Watchlist query

Hi Ravensfire. You recently moved Assim Al-Hakeem to draft space. I'm wondering if you'd know why that move is showing up in my watchlist? I don't recall ever contributing to that article, in mainspace or draft space, but I can see the moves from earlier today in my watchlist. No biggie, just curious. Regards, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 10:55, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

@Bastun: That's interesting. My guess would be that since the draft has been deleted previously [3], and maybe you did something with that previous article/draft which is why it triggered on your watchlist. That's the only thing I could think would cause that to happen. Ravensfire (talk) 16:46, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

That sounds plausible, all right. Thanks! Regards, Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 09:17, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

In case a bot archives it before you see it...

Let me know if you have any concerns (too much collateral) with this rangeblock. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:23, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

That's perfect - I know the past month or two has been all from them. I made basically the same comment you just made on the SPI - Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Yeu_aga_maj. Sad part - if Wefffrrr had just discussed when I and a few others raised concerns about their edits several months ago, this probably wouldn't be needed. But they didn't, and didn't really change / deal with the issues, and so here we are. Thank you! Ravensfire (talk) 17:28, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Ravensfire. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 00:01, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Why I am not allowed - KaranSharma0445 sock

Hi User:Ravensfire why do you hate me so much. When I first came in 2014 I didn’t know the rules as I was about 16 now I know what to do and not do why can’t I come on Wikipedia. In the past years i have never vandalised any page but making it better and you are not letting me do that. KevinLondon444 (talk) 08:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Also so what if I am editing Indian reality shows it’s what I like why are you doing this KevinLondon444 (talk) 08:17, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@KevinLondon444: Oooo, the rant! So let's start with the easy reason, shall we? The lies and deception. "Not coming back here again and never will be as it’s been affected my health", "this is not fake I am never coming back here. If you don’t believe me it’s not my problem you will see if I come back or not.", "User:RoySmith I will never come back here again. I am the Person so please block." Any of those sound familiar? You didn't even make it two hours before you created another account. There is absolutely ZERO trust left in you as an editor here. None. For the rest, you care zero about Wikipedia only that you get your way. You've been left multiple longer explanations - go read those. There's some really good reasons on the SPI page. WP:EVADE if you want the short, short, short version. We're done here. Ravensfire (talk) 12:19, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Look Ravensfire you just don’t like me for no reason. You have made personal attacks before at me and have been very rude and abusive. Anyways I am not making a new account. Also to clarify I never lied about my health. In fact you and Hellknowz have made my health bad. That’s all. Also I never vandalised any page I have understood the rules etc fan cruft. I won’t be back for good because of you and Hellknowz. I don’t have any problem with you at all but it looks like you have a problem with me which is fine because I don’t want you to trust me because I don’t know any of you personally and don’t want to. So bye and signing off.— Preceding unsigned comment added by KevinLondon444 (talk • contribs) 07:45, September 1, 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't care one way or the other about you. At worst, you're annoying. Personal attacks? Really? So, I've said you use socks. That's factually correct and not a personal attack. That you've lied and deceieved. That's factually correct and not a personal attack. That you add fancruft to articles. Factually correct and not a personal attack. Ignore community consensus when you don't like it. Factually correct and not a personal attack. There is poor behavior here, but you want to look in a mirror. And yes, I know you'll be back. The last time, you stayed away a whopping two hours! My expectations of your future actions have been set by your past behavior, and are quite, quite low.

Which SPI are we talking about here? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@RoySmith: Whoops! Sorry for the accidental ping on that reply. This is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/KaranSharma0445 again - they're complaining about the sock they created two hours after saying here (and in the SPI) that there were leaving Wikipedia was spotted, and once again saying they are leaving.

Crayon Shin-chan

Is the maintenance tag needed in the article Crayon Shin-chan? If it is not needed, please remove it or give me permission to remove it. Zarif1511 (talk) 05:14, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

@Zarif1511: Honestly, I know very little about that article, having made only a few small edits in the past, all reverting editors that had also made poor edits on an article I watched. The tag was added fairly recently [4], you may consider asking on the article talk page and tagging that editor, but with a quick scan of the article, the International section has a lot of unsourced statements, so the tag is probably still warranted. Ravensfire (talk) 23:20, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Re the Federal Reserve article

Re this:

"Please discuss this on the article talk page, but the POV nature of the edits are a cause for concern. There's a lot of WP:FRINGE views around Federal Reserve, several of which are hit in that short edit. Ravensfire (talk) 19:00, 2 September 2021 (UTC)"

How can I write this cordially: You've got a lot of nerve questioning my POV. There's nothing about my edits that were fringe. My edits were literally public domain knowledge. The Fed itself says it's an independent organization that's NOT part of the US Federal Government, but accountable to Congress. Similarly, it's public domain knowledge that the Fed is not a reserve of any kind since going off the gold standard.

You could have made your rejection civil but you chose not to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{2}}}#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{2}}}|contribs]]) 20:02, September 2, 2021 Wikiguy91311 (UTC)

Sorry you took it personally, but your edit had several issues where you either ignored what the sources said or flat out didn't have any support. If you'd like to discuss the edit, please start a discussion on the article talk page. You may want to read through the archives, there are multiple discussions across the years related to the two main points of your edit. Ravensfire (talk) 01:20, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Bttowadch

Im bttowadch sock and i had created several abuse accounts in the past. But i edits without any account but you always revert it. What the shitty logic is this, if an editor made good edits then always revert it and waste his/her time and working that ones made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.160.59.40 (talk) 09:30, September 9, 2021 (UTC)

@119.160.59.40: Why should any editor here waste their time dealing with someone that's been banned, repeatedly creates socks, copy-pastes text on a regular basis and usually includes WP:PUFFERY in the articles they create? That's the shitty logic. YOU are banned. You haven't bothered with any attempts to talk about the editing issues. Yeah, sometimes your edits are good. Sometimes. Look how many articles you've created after conning people into creating redirects have been put into draft space. Not good edits in other worse. Stop wasting OUR time. Ravensfire (talk) 14:38, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Why did you revert all my edits?

Hi, sorry i just wanna ask? why can't i put Uttaran cast in table from? i saw that Saath Nibhaana Saathiya cast is using tables, so i was inspired to make a table for the Uttaran cast as well, thank you for you answer:)

Please read WP:TVCAST which describes how the cast section should look. Uttaran doesn't meet the criteria to use a table. Ravensfire (talk) 12:33, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Spam related.

hello, sir I don't know you. But want to left a message. I don't know the procedure how to contact you. I am not going to lie. Whatever I say is the truth. Let me explain myself. My name is ayan as you know. My website is 3 years old, and I have worked hard for it. I watched on youtube how to get genuine links that's why I did that. But these links in no way are spam. You can read all the links. These all links were related to the article. I have not put any spam. I have just put links that are related. I accept my mistake. I promise you that I will never ever try to spam. I also promise you that I will never ever try to put my websites link on Wikipedia ever. My request is please don't harm my website. I have worked hard for it. Please, sir. You can block it in Wikipedia but do not block it on Google and everywhere else. please don't harm it. If possible do not block it here on Wikipedia as well, my site will become popular one day I promise that day someone else will give my sites reference. I know that. All I can do is tell you that I didn't mean to harm anyone. Please don't do this to me. I can only request. I don't know actually how it works. I only put articles related to that article. I am literally sorry if I have broken any rules. That wont happen again.

Hello, He is my client

Aditya Gairola (talk) 08:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC) Hello, team,

I have tried to maintain a neutral tone and read the guidelines before making the post live. But I understand I am not an expert at Wikipedia so I have gone ahead and made amendments in the draft as suggested by you. I have also added an important inference, "I was paid for creating Ramesh Behl (Professor)" on my username page. Thank you for guiding me.

Please let me know if I need to remove or edit anything on the page. Thanks. Aditya Gairola (talk) 08:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

@Aditya Gairola, Thank you for the transparency. If you read the WP:PAID page, there are several templates that make the declaration easier, in particular the {{PAID}} template. I've gone ahead and added the connected contributor paid template to the article talk page. One thing that's missing is who paid you, if you could go to the talk page, and edit the U1-employer parameter to indicate who paid you. If you're not sure how to do that, you can just say here, or update the declaration on your user page to indicate that. The ToU do require that you disclose the employer, client and affiliation.

On the article itself, the main issue would be notability. WP:NPROF and WP:NAUTHOR are probably relevant and at least right now, I don't see how those are met by the article. There are issues with sourcing in the article (the early life section is unsourced). What's needed are non-interview sources from solid publishers that have substantial coverage of the person. Not casual or brief mentions, not of entities they are affiliated with, but significant coverage of the article subject. That's what article reviewers look for in drafts. I'm not a reviewer, but those are the issues I saw with the article. Ravensfire (talk) 19:06, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for the valuable inputs. I will try and create a few articles that talk extensively about the client. Meanwhile, could you please share the right step to add the details/ steps of how to add the employer details?. Thanks. Can we not take the page live with these citations? I have removed any presumptuous information from the page. For his early life, I had added a Wikibio reference but apparently, that was removed. Kindly help.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditya Gairola (talk • contribs) 13:44, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@Aditya Gairola, For the employer details, I've edited your user page to use the {{paid}} template which makes the disclosures easy and left the employer blank. Just edit the template on that page and add the employer details. For example, if you work for ABC Image Consultants who were hired to create Behl's page, you would put ABC Image Consultants as Employer, and Behl as the client. If Behl directly paid you, put Behl as the Employer. A similar template is on the draft talk page, but if you aren't comfortable with that template, I can handle that once you fill in the template on your talk page.

Source wise, Wikibio is a scraper site that is not a reliable source for Wikipedia. The page will go live once a reviewer accepts it, but right now, that's really, really unlikely. You've got to find good, strong sources that aren't connected to the subject, have significant coverage and aren't interviews. Ravensfire (talk) 19:46, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Aditya Gairola (talk) 08:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC) Thank you for your tips and help. I have added the employer's name as well as a few citations. I have also requested the team to get a few insightful blogs ready for the subject. Have a good day ahead! Much appreciated.

@Aditya Gairola please note that blogs are WP:UGC and are not considered to be reliable sources for Wikipedia. And having things done *now* to get sources for an article is frankly not a good image. Articles used as sources must come from independent publishers with a solid reputation. Not interviews or paid-for puff pieces. Ravensfire (talk) 13:58, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Lyrics spam

Hey, please remove my site link from blacklist. I will never add any sites link again. Please remove this site link from blacklist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GamerAakash (talk • contribs) 17:18, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@GamerAakash, you can request it to be removed at WT:SBL. It is unlikely to be removed, however. First, it is not a reliable source for Wikipedia. Second, you continued to add links to the site after being warned it was spammed and not to do so. Wikipedia is not the place to promote your site, spamming is not tolerated here and there are consequences for continuing to do so after being warned. Ravensfire (talk) 18:00, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Image

Is it allowed in Wikipedia to add images that contains watermark. Cactinites (talk) 16:10, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

@Cactinites It is, although discouraged. WP:WATERMARK says that "Free images should not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits or titles in the image itself or anything else that would hamper their free use", but it's not required. Obviously, see the large number of BollywoodHungama image that have the watermark still. As they are free images, the watermark can be removed and a new version uploaded. The strong preference is NOT to have watermarks, and can be a deciding factor in a discussion about which image to use on an article. Ravensfire (talk) 17:13, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I did not pay attention to the warnings given by Wikipedia, it is my big mistake, I agree. Please remove 99lyricstore.com from Wikipedia's blacklist I accept my mistake and I never add lyrics links in Wikipedia.
