Rollback

Hi Yash!. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use 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:New admin school/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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 03:58, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-admin close

Say, thanks for closing the debate on the Pony Club article. I was curious - how do non-admin closures work? Is there a policy you can point me to? (I'd like to do this, some of those AfDs linger forever generating more heat than light). Montanabw^(talk) 05:34, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Montanabw, there is a section in the deletion policy, and this servers as a general guide. In short, NACs are performed by editors that are not involved once the AfD has run its course of seven days and if there is a clear consensus for any non-admin action (though they can be closed early if the consensus is unlikely to change). This is an amazing script that does all the work in just three clicks. It also helps in relisting the discussion. Cheers, — Yash! ^(Y) 06:44, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to me that a lot of AfDs that could be closed as keep get relisted... your thoughts? Montanabw^(talk) 07:24, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen few AfDs with only keep votes getting relised which end up closing as delete or merge/redirect. Such occurance is rare but it does happen. The major factor considered while closing or relisting is the weight of the arguments. If the nomination has some solid policy based arguments and the votes for keeping are not compelling enough, a relist is done to get a wider perspective. I have found most, almost all the relists to be quite reasonable. Yes, at times AfDs are relisted that could be closed. For example, I would have closed the Zephyr Wright AfD instead of relisting it. I believe such is done at the time just to be on the safer side but relists like that can be an unnecessary addition to the logs where we already suffer from lack of participation. — Yash! ^(Y) 08:18, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the stuff listed at AfD is material that reflects the recentism problem of WP - anything or anyone more than 50 years old will not easily be found with Google hits. And the Zephyr Wright article was an obvious speedy keep for anyone who knows squat about the Civil Rights Era. I get so frustrated with these WP:CHEESE arguments by the ignorant - while in the meantime some fool who played one season of cricket for Manchester gets GNG easily. (whining...) Montanabw^(talk) 03:05, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me about. It is especially difficult to find sources for India related articles. Sometimes it even gets hard to find online source for the topics that are notable at present. And to prove that the people or stuff that were the talk of the town back then are notable enough presents a very tough job. Add that to a busy life and it just gets really tiresome. BTW, I heard some birds chirp about you running for an RfA? I just want to say that I would support you if you ran. You have been working hard in the main space for nine bloody long years! That is simply amazing. The scrutiny you might receive there is something that an editor like you most certainly does not deserve. I have seen people literally leave this project after their unsuccessful RfAs and I will not like to see an editor like you go. Still, one cannot really predict what could go down at an RfA. If you are determined enough, go for it but do give that some thought. — Yash! ^(Y) 10:00, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I AM thinking about an RfA and would value support from as many people as possible. The main thing I fret about are the trolls that might come out of the woodwork with various complaints about how I have, over the course of my wiki-tenure, been an Evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet - especially to them - or worse yet, my efforts to maintain quality control are WPOWNERSHIP! WPOWNERSHIP! LOL! I basically know that I'll need supporters willing to do more than !vote because there will only be so much I can say in my own defense without looking unfit for the mop. Montanabw^(talk) 18:08, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Over the course of time one might make a lot of enemies, but not without making more valuable friends. Oppose votes go through a lot of discussion regardless of the candidate's popularity so that certainly shouldn't be a problem with yours. — Yash! ^(Y) 01:52, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A cupcake for you!

I'm glad you are back! I hope you stay this time and continue your excellent work! Cheers, ƬheStrike Σagle 06:50, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yum thanks! I won't be leaving again; I have learned to manage my time pretty well :) — Yash! ^(Y) 08:18, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Request for new infobox Template for Indian States and Territories

There is an RfC for infobox template for Indian States and territories. Please Comment on it. Here is the link. Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indian_states#RfC:_Request_for_new_infobox_Template_for_Indian_States_and_Territories. Prymshbmg (talk) 13:35, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Link reffered is not a draft template but just a mere sample, or hint to, Guide about what that RfC was about. But thank you for suggesting me to start a new discussion for the perimeters to be used in the template. Should I start this in the same RfC or a new one. Prymshbmg (talk) 15:23, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Prymshbmg I know what you meant but it is not the right way to do it. Don't start an RfC. RfCs don't serve the purpose of developing an idea. It is done to get general consensus on the proposed idea. I reckon you close this RfC and simply start a new section at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics. You will receive the required amount of attention there. I also suggest that if possible, use the suggestions given at this current RfC and create few more alternatives or at least modify the current one. We won't need an RfC until we have two or three designs finalised or maybe we won't need one at all, depending upon how the discussion goes. Good luck :) — Yash! ^(Y) 15:43, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Thanks for your kind words on my talk page. Actually, I dont know if those words are true but, thank you. —Prashant 03:32, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Prashant!, if I know you well, one quality about you is that you have always improved from your experiences. Don't feel bad about the incident and take it as constructive criticism. Happy editing! — Yash! ^(Y) 07:49, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kerala

Hey! I saw that the Kerala article GA nomination was failed due to bad references. I have fixed the broken links and added a few citations. Please continue - your help in bringing up the article's quality would be invaluable. --Winjay (talk) 22:36, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
