E-mails

You can use "Email this user" in the panel on the left, but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours. Arjayay,

Broadcasted

The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B

Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".

An October 2017 search for Broadcast gave over 185,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 60.
Of these 60, 15 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 16 refer to a Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are quotations.



Hi @Arjayay:, Requesting to do Semi-protection: because of high level of IP vandalism. 223.229.181.72 (talk) 08:02, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP from Pune - I am not an Admin - so I cannot semi-protect the page. You would need to ask at WP:RPP and explain your reasons, however, I am not sure if this is deliberate vandalism, rather than edit-warring. Be aware that, if the page is semi-protected, you will not be able to edit it, and it may be protected whilst stating information you disagree with. I will keep an eye on it for a few days - Arjayay (talk) 16:46, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon obhijaan

Hello Arjayay, I wanted to make it clear that the budget of movie 'amazon obhijaan' is 20 crores, and it was not dubbed into tamil(only 3 languages odia, telugu and hindi). Please check it once. Sasianeel (talk) 16:21, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey sorry, it's 25 crores;Check it. Waiting for reply Sasianeel (talk) 16:34, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Sasianeel - Your actual edit here does not agree with your statement above:
  1. rather than "make it clear that the budget of movie 'amazon obhijaan' is 20 crores" you changed it from 20 crore to 25 crore
  2. as for "it was not dubbed into tamil(only 3 languages odia, telugu and hindi)" you left the statement "five languages" deleted Tamil, but left Hindi, Telugu, Odia and Assamese.
I have since changed the reference for budget, as the previous source is not on the WP:ICTFSOURCES list. to one which is on that list.
As for the dubbing, please provide a WP:RS, stating which languages it was dubbed into, before changing it again, as your change was unsourced. Please also make sure the number stated is the same as the number of languages listed. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 16:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, earlier it's announced to be dubbed and released in tamil and Assamese along with other three. But they didn't. And the budget is 25 crores( highest budget movie in Bengali) check it Sasianeel (talk) 16:41, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can I change it? Sasianeel (talk) 16:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sasianeel - NO.
As I have stated above, you need to cite a reliable source stating which languages it was released in, if that was different from the cited source.
As also stated above, the source now being used for the budget is on the WP:ICTFSOURCES list and states 20 crore, so that is what the article states - the previous source was not reliable
Looking at your user-page history, you have had numerous warnings for unsourced changes and edit-warring, and a block for edit-warring. Unless you learn how to cite reliable sources you are likely to be blocked again. - Arjayay (talk) 16:56, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I can't provide all those stuff, but I have a clear knowledge about Bengali films. if you want any source regarding budget check 'most expensive Bengali films'. Sasianeel (talk) 17:03, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And no need to be rude, I just explained you and asked for permission. I am not getting a penny for my edits. I just edit, if I felt something is wrong or missing. If your guys don't want me to do the stuff then I will leave it. OK. Sasianeel (talk) 17:11, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sasianeel - I am not being rude, just trying to explain the rules, but you don't seem to be listening, as can be seen on your talk page, where you claim "I only edit grammatical mistakes".
Wikipedia has no interest whatsoever in what you, I, or any other editor, "knows"
Wikipedia is ONLY interested in what reliable sources have already stated, and these sources need to be cited to support any information you wish to add, or change.
As I said above " Unless you learn how to cite reliable sources you are likely to be blocked again." - Arjayay (talk) 17:17, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Bad Seed" (1985)

Hi Arjay, I saw your note about "The Bad Seed" (1985) I went back and revised what I wrote. I was able to get it down to 900ish words, I know that still exceeds the limit, so I will continue to try to get it down further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MissTofATX (talkcontribs) 22:25, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Velaikkaran (2017 film): you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Kirbanzo (talk) 15:53, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Havering Musuem

Would you kindly stop removing the additions I make to the Museum. Mainly the large block of text. I work for the Musuem so there’s is no reason why this should be deleted Adam Meleady (talk) 15:53, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No - will you kindly STOP adding totally unsourced information to our article - you will be blocked if you continue.
You also have a Conflict of interest so should not be editing the article, in any case, and if you are paid by the museum you are in breach of Wikipedia's terms of use, as you need to make a WP:PAID declaration before making any more edits. - Arjayay (talk) 16:01, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Havering Musuem

First of all none of this is paid its a volunteer lead Museum. Secondly none of this unsourced all of this is easily findable online Adam Meleady (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Meleady - It is all unsourced - it is not up to the reader to find the information, the Responsibility for providing citations is upon whoever adds the information to provide the references, which need to be properly formatted. As it stands, the whole of the article could be deleted as it is entirely unsourced. - Arjayay (talk) 16:13, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

D Roopa

Hi there, I want to create page with the name D Roopa. The thing is this page was created by somebody in July 2016, but this was deleted soon after the creation due to some reasons. It seems to me that this page was deleted as there were no much credible sources or references were available on the internet at that point of time and also this person was not so popular too at that point of time. This person, who is a very brave and honest woman IPS officer in India, was suddenly in the news all over India in July 2017, as she did a commendable job by earthing the irregularities at jails and she became very popular after that incident. When i created this page in August 2017 with the same name and with all credible sources and references, this page again got speedy deleted and it was showing the old page (july 2016) as a reason for deletion. The fact is I was not aware of its earlier deletion before creating this page. Please help me to retrieve the page or creating the new page.

Kiranmadhu.e (talk) 15:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

i Kiranmadhu.e - I don't know why you have asked me, as I am not an Admin and I can't see the deleted page.
D Roopa has been deleted 3 times (click the redlink for details).
As you can see the last deletion was on 3 September 2017 when Anthony Appleyard deleted page D Roopa (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion).
First off, assuming that was the article you wrote, you need to speak to the deleting admin, Anthony Appleyard, to see of he is willing to refund the article. However, given that it was deleted for being "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" I suspect he may not - it depends if there was any content that was not "advertising or promotion" that is worth restoring.
If not, or even if he is, I suggest you follow the WP:Articles for creation process, using the Wikipedia:Article wizard which means that the article will be checked by an experienced editor before it is made "live", enabling you to correct any problems and thus significantly reducing the chances of it being deleted again.
Sorry I can't help futher - Arjayay (talk) 16:09, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To leave note on talk page or not?

Hi, you seem more experienced than I am. Special:Contributions/2001:8003:603F:5B00:942E:8C0F:54C5:7DD8 has made two edits which I would consider vandalism, while using a misleading edit summary to pretend that it's not. Should he be warned?

Egroeg5 (talk) 01:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Egroeg5 That page has a slightly messy history, but yes, The IP should have been warned for both edits - Cluebot warned them for the first, but the second added a deliberate error - changing France to Russia - as well as the duplicated material. Although they have not edited since their two edits on 16 March, and may never use that IP again, a level 2 warning would be justified. In case you do not know, the main list of warnings can be found at WP:WARN - Arjayay (talk) 09:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Post by User:Venkateshhsgowda

What is wrong in that sir? Venkateshhsgowda (talk) 15:02, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Venkateshhsgowda
Firstly. Please put new posts at the bottom of a talk page, not in the middle, and start with a section title, click "Add topic" at the top if you don't know how to do this.
I don't know which of your edits you are referring to, when you say "What is wrong in that" but I can see problems with all of them.
Lists of Notable people, should only include the names of people with their own Wikipedia article
You obviously do not understand Categories and category pages, but these are filled up automatically, not manually, and once set-up the pages should not be edited - other than by editors who understand Category pages.
You are obviously keen, but all of your edits to date have been reverted, as they were not constructive.
Can I suggest you take an hour to follow WP:The Wikipedia Adventure which will hopefully explain the basics. - Arjayay (talk) 15:19, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To edit vokkaliga page

Hello sir please add the notable vokkaliga people Venkateshhsgowda (talk) 15:27, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to help fix out-dated and outright incorrect information. As it seems I am not allowed to do this, I will stop and not try again. It would be nice if wikipedia pages have more accurate information so maybe you could do it instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.25.185.60 (talk) 16:58, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Need cooperation about the Ukrah or Nagarukhra article renaming.

Hey Arjayay, actually I'm looking for your cooperation about Ukrah or Nagarukhra Wikipedia article.Please, edit the name of this page & rename it only Nagarukhra, not Ukrah or Nagarukhra. (Because Nagarukhra is the proper name of the Area. Ukrah just a small suburban colony of Nagarukhra. You can search in google map or openstreet map as Nagarukhra.) (Thank you)Iamakashnathsarkar (talk) 05:28, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry Iamakashnathsarkar, we have been through this far too many times already, with you and other editors, several of whom have been indefinitely blocked. I suspect the only way the article will be renamed, is if the 2021 census uses Nagarukhra instead of Ukrah. - Arjayay (talk) 13:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jesse Waugh AfD

Hi, I’m writing to ask if you might be willing to contribute a vote on the Articles for Deletion page for Jesse Waugh. The vote already took place based on the article’s current sources, but certain people seem to be determined to get it deleted. Thanks either way. 81.44.32.50 (talk) 06:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello IP from Sitges - Articles for deletion discussions are not "votes", but discussions of compliance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Your time would be better spent finding more sources, rather than canvassing editors. I see you have removed your suggestion of which way I should vote, which clearly breached WP:CANVASS.
I know nothing about Jesse Waugh - my one edit to the article was whilst patrolling recent changes, when I reverted a massive deletion as it appeared to be vandalism. - Arjayay (talk) 13:35, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No harm no foul

You are fast :) I was just going to fix that revert but you beat me to it. --Muhandes (talk) 18:24, 24 March 2018 (UTC) Anyway, if it wasn't clear, my bad, I reverted the wrong edit, then you beat me before I managed to correct it and had an edit conflict, all should be fine now. --Muhandes (talk) 18:27, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muhandes - No worries - we all get a bit trigger happy now and then - but thanks to the wonders of "revert", it rarely causes any lasting damage - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 19:02, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling thanks

Arjayay, thanks for fixing my misspelled "recieved" to "received". I have been struggling with that all my life (decades). Nick Beeson (talk) 11:18, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nick Beeson thanks for the thanks.
I before E except after C is the worst spelling "rule" as there are so many exceptions, it is almost useless - but in general, those sounding like "a" - weigh, foreign, vein - break the first half of the rule, and those sounding like "eee" comply with the second half.
What I don't understand is why so many editors turn off their spellchecker ....? - Arjayay (talk) 11:56, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bhojpuri films sock farm

Did you work on the Bhojpuri film sockfarms? I blocked Bhushan Kumar and Devendraaa as obviously connected to each other but wondering if I'm missing the earlier farm. Right now only that Braj Bhasha film sockfarm (Jschauhan) comes to mind! cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 13:12, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SpacemanSpiff - sorry, I've not dealt with those, (I'm probably not sorry, just relieved) although Manoz or Manoj socks have been messing up lots of other Indian film genres e.g. as अ आ (see User:अ आ for "proof" that it is him) - probably in frustration that Brijwood, Brajwood, BrajBhasha cinema and his other usual targets are either salted or under close observation. - Arjayay (talk) 13:24, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Controversial Edits on Sambhaji Page

Hi, I wanted to discuss on topic on your recent edits on Sambhaji Page. Since this page represents the great warrior in history of India, Any False information about him lead to hurting Sentiments on people of this Country.

 Your recent edits introduce information which is not histocally evident and based on poor references and attemptsand Lacks evidences. Kindly Consider the Facts and help us to remove the Controversial statements that hurts Sentiments.

Thanks Historyprotect (talk) 15:20, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Historyprotect - That page was specifically protected to stop editors like you "whitewashing" the page. The references have been checked by people who know more about it than I do.
Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED, we do not delete information because it is "hurting Sentiments on people of this Country." which basically means you WP:DONTLIKEIT. Please stop these repeated attempts to remove this information, as you will not succeed. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 15:30, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Period vandal, returns.

May have to have the List of Prime Ministers of India article semi-protected, due to the return of the 'period' vandal. GoodDay (talk) 15:57, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GoodDay - I know what you mean - I keep having to visit the article to check the latest revision - only to discover it is the addition/removal of 2 spaces.

Arjayay is not very good at being a WikiGnome.

Example:

Emmerdale is a soap as it's still on TV.

Brookside was a soap as it's no longer on TV.

Stop changing people's edits who changed it correctly to "was". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danstarr69 (talkcontribs) 03:23, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) See WP:TVNOW. "Is" is correct whether or not the show is still being produced or broadcast. General Ization Talk 03:25, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks General Ization
Danstarr69 - this is no different to "Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens" it was serialized 1860-1861, then printed as a book, but copies still exist.
Complete DVD collections of Brookside are available, and Channel 4 still show the occasional old episode, so it still exists. - Arjayay (talk) 11:33, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


A TASTE OF HONEY

I was surprised that you deleted the Esther Ofarim reference from the page on "A taste of honey". The collaborations between Esther Ofarim and Bobby Scott are well known to aficionados of Bobby Scott and his works. The recordings were conducted by Bobby Scott himself and are, apparently, something of which he was particularly proud. (see https://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/ofarim-esther-esther-ofarim-in-new-york-with-bobby-scott-and-his-orch-cd/BB.004CD.html). The recordings may not have charted well in the US or UK but may be of interest to those researching available recordings of the song. The Ofarim recording is certainly as relevant as the other recordings you cite.Tnog (talk) 13:35, 5 April 2018 (UTC) The availability of the CD is a simple statement of fact, which can be checked by a couple of clicks on Google or AMAZON.Tnog (talk) 13:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tnog Thanks for your post.
As explained in my edit summary, I deleted it as per WP:COVERSONG (you did not include a reference either, so WP:V would also apply).
You need to show that "the rendition is discussed by a reliable source on the subject of the song" or "the rendition itself meets the notability requirement at WP:NSONGS" either of these options requires sourcing, and simply existing does not make a cover of a song notable. Some songs have had numerous covers and our articles would be over-run if we just listed them all - see White Christmas (song) for the sort of coverage we would like - although even that is not very good.
Finally, please do not keep re-editing your post - it made replying to it very difficult, as I kept getting edit conflicts - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 14:03, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Sergei Rachmaninoff shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
