Nithyananda

Your edit on Nithyananda has been reverted. For Sri Nithyanada Swami is the subject's legal name. At the time of your edit, the sources backing it were deleted and a discussion was brought in the talk page. And so far as I can tell, the names in following leads are not his legal name, they are just his common name used by his followers. Please refer to the talk page before further moves.

High command culture

Is this High_command_culture needed on Wikipedia? Appu (talk) 13:04, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

APPU, I'm not sure. Commonly, the term cronyism is used for such phenomena. Also, I don't think the subject is specific to India – it's quite a widespread phenomenon and I'm not sure whether the Indian variant, so as to say, should be dealt with separately in an encyclopaedia.

Usually, the best idea in such situations is to create the article as a draft and then submit it for a review prior to its publication in mainspace. Detailed instructions are here: Wikipedia:Drafts.

I don't think it will pass. This is a list article, and we have the WP:LISTCRIT policy.

R3s

You appear to be mass-tagging redirects under the R3 speedy deletion criterion. Please stop, as many of them do not fulfil that criterion. CF Andrews redirecting to C. F. Andrews, for example, is a more than reasonable redirect. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:05, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Sdrqaz, I'm in the process of reviewing heaps of problematic edits by APPU, including these newly created redirects. As far as I know, we don't routinely create redirects from initialled names to full names, especially for lesser-known people (at least I see no M. Twain, E. Macron or A. Merkel). — kashmīrī ^TALK 03:16, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Redirects need to be "implausible typos or misnomers" to be eligible under R3. Examples I've tagged have been this and this. While the usefulness of the redirects you've tagged is debatable, R3 is not a substitute for RfD. Sdrqaz (talk) 03:31, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Kashmiri, except for Mrs. Gandhi, I didn't think any of the other redirects you tagged was what we consider "implausible". Frequently, different spellings of names are made into redirects. If you are skeptical about this judgment, you should nominate those you have issue with at WP:RFD and make your argument there. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:51, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Hmmm, do you assume that a person searching for "Madame Prime Minister" will be searching specifically for Indira Gandhi, out of hundreds of female prime ministers on Earth?

To be honest, I'm not sure I fancy preparing an individual RfD submission for each and every redirect that User:APPU creates, after all the time I spent on undoing their edits. If there is a shorter way, please let me know. — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:08, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Which is why it's at RfD now. Many of these redirects are helpful so tagging them all for R3 (when none qualify) is ridiculous. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 19:29, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Redirects like CF Andrews are perfectly fine and what redirects exist for. Regardless of whether these redirects are implausible or not, they definitely aren't misnomers and I declined the rest (before seeing this discussion). R3 is only for very specific cases (even the redirects pointed out by Sdrqaz probably fit under other speedy criteria better). — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 08:42, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

(And I don't think Mrs Gandhi is either a misnomer or implausible – I'd think it a common way of differentiating between the two Gandhis. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 08:52, 22 November 2021 (UTC))

@J947 "The two Gandhis"? Last time I checked, there were many more Mrs Gandhis out there on Wikipedia. — kashmīrī ^TALK 00:23, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Only two are known internationally and reasonably differentiated from each other by Mr and Mrs; a common form of differentiation between famous spouses is to do so. It's a form of disambiguation. Besides, ambiguity has never ever been a reason to rightfully speedy a redirect. — J947 ‡ ^{message ⁓ edits} 00:34, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry you've never heard about Sonia Gandhi or Kasturba Gandhi. However, I wish you could trust me when I say that people searching for "Mrs Gandhi" could well be searching for Mahatma Gandhi's wife. The younger readers, however, will likely want to know about the currently living most famous woman of the Gandhi clan – Sonia Gandhi. — kashmīrī ^TALK 00:46, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

[EDIT] Do I understand correctly that you believe that Indira Gandhi was Mahatma Gandhi's spouse? If so, then I beg you to read Indira Gandhi before commenting further on the redirect. — kashmīrī ^TALK 00:48, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Khanzada

Hello. I see that you've retargeted Khanzada ‎to its dab and I've been preparing the resulting cleanup. Khanzada (disambiguation) is now a malplaced disambiguation page and needs to be moved. The 449 incoming links to Khanzada need disambiguation, and it's not obvious to a layman which target is best. Finally, if the dab itself is to stay at the base name then it will need changes to demote the former primary topic and add the standard introduction. Are you able to help with any of this? Certes (talk) 18:44, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Certes, I apologise for hasty retargeting. I realised the situation is quite messy - Khanzada itself once was a long article.

I won't be able to touch Wikipedia for the next 3–4 days at least due to WP:REALLIFE, so I regret I can't help. But please feel free to go ahead boldly and revert my edits if needed. — kashmīrī ^TALK 18:51, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I've undone the change for now, but if there's no primary topic for the term then we should move the dab once we're able to do a complete job. I don't have the skills (or privileges) to do that alone. An RM on the dab might attract interested editors and suggest the best way forward. Certes (talk) 23:24, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

regarding my edits on wki pages

I got the message from Wikipedia. I am a beginner Wikipedia writer. In fact, I have no conflict of interest with the above-mentioned pages. I read all the conflicts of interest and I don't belong to any category. I am an English and Amharic reader and writer person of Kenya and working in Ethiopia. I started the first time editing the page a few years ago when I read a tutorial. I know about these two and many others who have supported mankind. I have a connection with them over social media selflesly. Their contributions to Africa, Asia, and Europe for Africans are big. When I get some information, I search on the internet if find a link in the network I post the information on Wikipedia. Only I know that dp Sharma is a godly helper for us. I never meet him but I know about him because he was the PhD adviser of my known person. I try to read some news about him in language Hind and use google translation to read. If you kindly help me, I can do more edits on different areas or close my account because I am a reader of druga prasad Sharma books and we thousands Ethiopian, Kenyan, and EuroAfricans love him. He is handicapped but he changed the lives of thousands. Sorry I did any wrong thing on your wikipedia. vijay samnotra was UN senior official in Kenya. He served for more than three decades as I read about him. He was very popular man for the environment in Kenya. His works are amazing for Africa. I am not an expert but included all information on the edited page from good sources, maybe your policy doesn't allow it. I simply take information, write and find sources then insert it. My conflict of interest is zero sir or madam. You can consider them and if find good, you can re-include them especially last two months' edits or if not your decision is ok. I don't know this message will reach you. How can I chat you more Thanks Kunny Kunniet (talk) 20:24, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Your revert on the Meta Platforms page

Thanks for reviewing my edit to the Meta article. However, I find parts your explanation irrelevant and inaccurate. In detail:

- "these are all unimportant factoids" -> Unimportant is subjective. It's objectively, highly relevant to the Lobbying section of the article. I wouldn't delete everything from a Wikipedia article that's unimportant to me.

- "of the he-said-she-said type based on allegations" -> The edit fulfills Wikipedia's strict requirement about citing and reliable sources.

- "stereotypical leftwing-rightwing labels, etc" -> It's unclear what you refer to here. I don't see stereotypes applied in the edit. If there were stereotypes applied in the lobbying effort, that's beyond the control of the editor.

- "All of this petty party warring stuff should be left out of this article, which let's remember is about a global company." - Again, the article has a Lobbying section, and this edit is highly relevant to that, considering (1) it's about the lobbying effort following the biggest scandal in Facebook's history, and (2) closely related to the company's relationship to the government of the country it's headquartered in.

I'll undo your revert, and I respectfully invite you to either improve the article, or be more constructive in your criticism. A more professional tone would also help.

Thank you, --LifeDancePro (talk) 21:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

With due respect – a high-level summary would be, a newspaper accused a business of something that Facebook says is untrue (a "mischaracterisation") – "muddying the waters" when lobbying in the US Congress. Ok, I can imagine fairly well that lobbyists say different things to different interlocutors, that's their job. And now, do you really believe this entire WSJ thingie merits including in an ENCYCLOPAEDIA? And that it is "the biggest scandal in Facebook's history"? Because I can think of quite a few actual scandals with Facebook, starting from the Cambridge Analytica affair.

Call me a stalker, but I somewhat agree - your tone is sometimes unprofessional. Example: "So what?" in your revision.

Another example: "To all my page stalkers" LifeDancePro (talk) 03:54, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

@LifeDancePro: Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, policy names in edit summaries [1] don't seem sufficient[2] for that editor, only descriptive summaries worked[3]. Btw, you pasted a wrong link (no "so what" in it).
