Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → 
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Thanks!
Please provide citations when you add facts
Please could you take care to remember to add a citation every time you add a claim to an article, such as for the edit you just made to Mollusca. Adding claims without citations can give the misleading impression that new claims are covered by existing citations, as in your recent edit to Lophotrochozoa, or simply reduces the quality and reliability of articles. Since you clearly intend to improve the encyclopedia, be aware that citations are mandatory. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:59, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I am sorry to say that Elenchus maorianus does not belong in Panorpida. It belongs in the superorder Coleopterida. Sorry for reverting your edits. See Endopterygota for more info. - Prahlad balaji (talk) 20:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- The Strepsiptera are of uncertain phylogeny, and you definitely shouldn't be changing things without either explaining what you're doing or citing reliable (and recent) sources, as older sources will likely be wrong. Probably, genomics will sort out these issues within the next few years; until that's done, changes are likely premature. The superorders you mention are proposed, not definite, so haring off and making changes is probably unconstructive. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:04, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anura. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Herb, herbaceous, etc.
There are variations in dialects of English in whether the "h" in words like "herb" or "herbaceous" is pronounced or not. In those dialects where the "h" is not pronounced in educated speech (e.g. most but not all of North America), "an" is used; in those dialects where the "h" is pronounced (e.g. the UK, Ireland, many other Commmonwealth countries), "a" is used. In the past there have been constant edit wars on some pages, with editors repeatedly changing between "a" and "an". To avoid this, it's always better to try to avoid the need for the indefinite article: use the plural ("... are herbaceous plants") rather than the singular ("... is a/an herbaceous plant"), use the adjective ("... is herbaceous") rather than the noun, or be careful about word order ("... is a bulbous herbaceous plant" rather than "is a/an herbaceous bulbous plant").

Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News
Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News
  Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit to below 1,000 articles for the first time. Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen. Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year. March drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2016 from our backlog and all February 2017 Requests (a total of 304 articles). By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22 editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.) April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was Requests. Of the 15 who signed up, 9 editors completed 43 articles (81,822 words). May drive: The goals were to remove July, August, and September 2016 from the backlog and to complete all March 2017 Requests (a total of 300 articles). By the end of the month, we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles. Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words). June blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was Requests. Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words). 2017 Coordinator elections: In June, coordinators for the second half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated! July drive: We set out to remove August, September, October, and November 2016 from the backlog and to complete all May and June 2017 Requests (a total of 242 articles). The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that December 2016 was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive. By the end of the month, only three articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to 1,363 articles. Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words). August blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months (47 articles). Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words). September drive: The goals were to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all August 2017 Requests (a total of 338 articles). Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words). October blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was Requests. Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words). November drive: We set out again to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all October 2017 Requests (a total of 207 articles). By the end of the month, these goals were reached and the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles, the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old. Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words). 2018 Coordinator elections: Voting is open for the election of coordinators for the first half of 2018. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating! Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Keira1996. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Copyright problems
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the iOS article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

GOCE February 2018 news
| Guild of Copy Editors February 2018 News
Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the December edition. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9 days. Coordinator elections: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2018 were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated! End of year reports were prepared for 2016 and 2017, providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress. January drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2017 from our backlog and all December 2017 Requests (a total of 275 articles). As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21 editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256 words). February blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on Requests and the last articles tagged in May 2017. At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days. Of the 11 who signed up, 10 editors completed 35 copy edits (98,538 words). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Reidgreg.

March 2018
Your recent editing history at Marshmello 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.

June 2018 GOCE newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News
Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Please participate to the talk pages consultation
Hello
Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.
We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.
Please participate to the talk pages consultation - link update

September 2019 GOCE Newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Speedy deletion nomination of Lisa M. Overall
Hello Prahlad balaji,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lisa M. Overall for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

I don't know what you were going for here: that account does not exist. I'm also wondering about this: what was the point of this edit? And how did you arrive at this sock page? Thank you, Drmies (talk) 02:29, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Drmies:Ok, I don't know what I was doing there. But can you do me a favor about the account? Please delete the account page and I'll re register it and then create the page. Sorry about that. Now that JS page has been turned into something that can be used when my my vector.js script goes down. And about that sockmaster: I was just trying to make it more readable and understandable, OK? No harm intended. Those two subpages, you can delete. I've kept them up as Soft redirects, but you can delete them anytime. Thanks. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 16:06, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

GOCE December 2019 Newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors December 2019 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the September edition. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January. Election time: Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself! September Drive: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles. October Blitz: This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests. November Drive: Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog. Our December Blitz will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now! Progress report: From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an all-time low of 479 articles. Request archiving: The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to Zhuyifei1999 and Bobbychan193, YiFeiBot is now archiving the Requests page. Archiving occurs around 24 hours after a user's signature and one of the templates {{Done}}, {{Withdrawn}} or {{Declined}} are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the correct codes and templates. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Regarding your request for the PCR bit
Hi Prahlad balaji. I recently denied your request for the pending changes reviewer permission. As a courtesy, instead of posting what I was writing to that high-profile page, I'm going to post my reasons below. Pinging Drmies, who seems to have been involved earlier.
I took a look through your edit history, and to be honest, it confuses me greatly. You've made 2360 edits to your userspace, including hundreds of edits each to your userpage and to User:Prahlad balaji/Sandbox, most of which is nonsense history. Actually, most of your many userspace pages are undecipherable, such as User:Prahlad balaji/resloaosdjgodspaojuipzLOjibvcLZasldv,lkvcxs;.dn, bvcmkbcVXcm ,v./m, .z,./zxm,., User:Prahlad balaji/sandbox/editnotice/vdfddcsdfdeffweweds cxtrgfdfgrdfdsasdd.sandbox/idofglgoifgbogfkigujkl69iyot.js/koty,h;tgpfdidolohkyokl;ekgfldpsoipOI34ROIUTOGFPFsdgrgnj7C.kht.js/sx, and User:Prahlad balaji/sandbox/editnotice/vdfddcsdfdeffweweds cxtrgfdfgrdfdsasdd.sandbox/idofglgoifgbogfkigujkl69iyot.js/koty,h;tgpfdidolohkyokl;ekgfldpsoipOI34ROIUTOGFPFsdgrgnj7C.kht -- as just a few of many, many examples. Just one day before submitting this PERM request, in fact, you created pages like User:Prahlad balaji/69i9sdhjzkjdhukisjuioisjdsdxzytiufodkudfiokyujldfidfobv;bkllvhjngvlk, which would much sooner be speedied than used for encyclopedic purposes.
Of the four mainspace pages you've created, one was A7'd (this month), one was deleted as a redirect to that A7'd page, one was a disambiguation page and one is a two-sentence stub. As for your other page creations, most have confused me; barnstars, userboxes, and templates like Template:Humor absolutely do not need sandboxes or testcases, and the testcases that you've created don't seem to actually test the parameters of the template at all. Your last 50 mainspace edits take you back to October 2018, all of them minor edits and including many strings of tiny edits to pages that look like inflating edit count. There's no vandalism experience that I can see, nothing showing that you're very good at this kind of stuff
as you asserted in your original request.
I can tell that you're interested in contributing, and I don't mean to put you off, but most of the edits that you've made so far have been quite disruptive in sum. If you're interested in contributing further, I'd recommend that you read some of the links in the welcome template left above. Since you've mentioned an interest in vandalism patrol, WP:CVUA may be a good option once you've gotten the hang of the place. Please don't make more pages with gibberish; I strongly urge you to request that they be deleted under WP:G7/WP:U1 (you can do so in response to this message), or I will have to send them to a deletion discussion. Let me know if you have any questions. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 20:54, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- Kevin, I also had NO IDEA what to make of these pages, and their responses to my questions also didn't make sense to me. Drmies (talk) 21:18, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Kevin: Ok fine I'm sorry for what I did on those pages. I'll try to be more constructive from now onward. But I do have a question. How do I find a lot of vandalism? 'Cause most of the Wikipedia pages are clean. Please let me know. -Thank you, ◊PRAHLADBalaji 01:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Kevin: Ok thanks. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 14:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
Darbar
Hi there, re: this edit, I'm a bit confused by the change of names, when most sources seem to indicate a character name of Vijay. If this is a situation where we're introduced to a character by one name, and a plot twist reveals to us that in fact they have a different name, then we should probably 1) start with the name we are introduced to and 2) make it clear in the plot prose that there is such a revelation. Currently, it's not clear why you made the change, particularly when you left "Vijay" in the cast list. Any clarity you can provide would be appreciated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Did you mean to delete your reply? Did you watch the Tamil version or a dub? This says Vijay, this says Vijay. This says Vinod. Needless to say, I'm quite confused. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:56, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
@Cyphoidbomb: Yeah I watched the Tamil one. Sorry about that. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 19:09, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

GOCE March newsletter
| Guild of Copy Editors March 2020 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2019. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2020, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Election results: There was little changeover in the roster of Guild Coordinators, with Miniapolis stepping down with distinction as a coordinator emeritus while Jonesey95 returned as lead coordinator. The next election is scheduled for June 2020 and all Wikipedians in good standing may participate. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work, completing 215 copy edits including 56 articles from the Requests page and 116 backlog articles from the target months of June to August 2019. At the conclusion of the drive there was a record low of 323 articles in the copy editing backlog. Of the 27 editors who signed up for the drive, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. February Blitz: Of the 15 editors who signed up for this one-week blitz, 13 completed at least one copy edit. A total of 32 articles were copy edited, evenly split between the twin goals of requests and the oldest articles from the copy-editing backlog. Full results are here. March Drive: Currently underway, this event is targeting requests and backlog articles from September to November 2019. As of 18 March, the backlog stands at a record low of 253 articles and is expected to drop further as the drive progresses. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Help set a new record and sign up now! Progress report: As of 18 March, GOCE copyeditors have completed 161 requests in 2020 and there was a net reduction of 385 articles from the copy-editing backlog – a 60% decrease from the beginning of the year. Well done and thank you everyone! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ev (given name), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Everett (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Request reason:
I am not trying to vandalize. I'm just trying to help. Please don't delete iPhone SE 2, just improve it. There are worse people than me who aren't blocked. Stop blocking me and focus on those people instead. Don't block me all the time. All you're doing is making me mad, nothing more. I am not trying to vandalize. If you are really trying to stop criminals on Wikipedia, there are people worse than me. Stop focusing on me, because I am not trying to vandalize. Instead, focus on the people who are vandalizing. But please do teach me about how to cite. I admit, I'm not good at it. Sure, I've been blocked many times in the past, but at least you could teach me how to properly do things instead of just block me and not give me a lesson on how not to do those things again.

This account is not blocked. If you can not edit, please make a new request and tell us the exact message you get when you try to edit. If the message includes your IP address and you wish to keep that confidential, please make your request via WP:UTRS. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Please do not remove the declined unblock request, above. Please add a new unblock request below, as the full dialogue concerning your alleged block needs to be seen by whoever reviews your next request. And, as I explained, this account is not blocked, so in a new unblock request you should follow the instructions I just gave you. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:05, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Also, looking at your block log, this account has never been blocked, so I don't understand why you say "I've been blocked many times in the past". Was that using a different account? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@Boing! said Zebedee: Yes, I have been hard blocked many times in the past, by none other than Yamla. I don't know why Yamla's blocks don't show up in the block log. Mind you, these blocks were very short. And yes, I am still blocked. The message I get when I try to edit? (You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them. Editing from 67.248.20.27 has been blocked (disabled) by Yamla for the following reason(s): Persistent addition of unsourced content This block has been set to expire: 09:49, 1 May 2020. Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.) Does that show up in the block log as well? Or is this some kind of April Fool's joke?-◊PRAHLADBalaji 14:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- It appears it is your IP address that is blocked, not your account, and it has been blocked several times now - here is the block log for the IP address. You will need to make a new unblock request, using the unblock template just as you did above, and that will bring your request to the attention of admins (I might not be available to reply here myself, as I only volunteer here for part of the time). In that unblock request you will need to address the reason for the block, which is "Persistent addition of unsourced content". Finally, as you have an account, it would make communication easier if you always edited logged in rather than logged out as an IP address. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

@Boing! said Zebedee: I am always logged in. I don't know why Yamla chose to block my IP instead. Remember, I am NOT trying to vandalize, and Yamla is mistaken if he thinks so. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 14:39, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- This edit, for example, was made logged out. If you look at this page you can see all logged-out edits made from that IP address. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@Boing! said Zebedee: Fine, but that was made from my phone. Other than that, it's mostly made logged in. Anyhow, I want to be unblocked, not talk about when I edited from my phone. It also appears that even though my IP address is blocked, my user account is blocked with it.
- Sure, I'm just trying to help you understand what happened. The reason Yamla blocked the IP address is because unsourced edits were being made, logged out, from that IP address. Yamla had no way of knowing it was you, User:Prahlad balaji, logged out. And yes, the block on the IP address will also prevent any logged-in account from editing. Anyway, your new unblock request is in a queue and hopefully someone should review it before too long. But before they do, I suggest you add to it with an agreement to never add unsourced content.

Request reason:
@Yamla: Dear Yamla, I am not trying to vandalize. I am also 67.248.20.27, who's just trying to help, not vandalize, as you may mistakenly think. Please don't delete iPhone SE 2, just unblock me and let me improve it. The reason my IP address showed up was because I was editing on my phone. Stop focusing on me all the time, because I am not trying to vandalize. Instead, focus on the people who are vandalizing. I understand that I should always cite, and I understand that if I do not find reliable sources, I am blocked. I also know that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and that I am not supposed to make assumptions about the future without backing them up. I have learned from this mistake. Sure, I've been blocked many times in the past, but at least you could give me some links that show how to properly do things instead of just block me and not give me a lesson on how not to do those things again. I am always learning, and you don't need to block me all the time just because I made some mistakes. Please unblock me. Here is the block message: (You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia. You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them. Editing from 67.248.20.27 has been blocked (disabled) by Yamla for the following reason(s): Persistent addition of unsourced content This block has been set to expire: 09:49, 1 May 2020. Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.) Take note that it is my IP, not my username, that is blocked. However, my username is also blocked, along with the IP. Please unblock me and tell Yamla to stop blocking me all the time just because of tiny mistakes. There are way worse people out there for him to block.
Decline reason:
You shouldn't be putting mere predictions or guesses in articles. You will need to meet the criteria(in my opinion) laid out by Yamla below before your IP can be unblocked; I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 16:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Your username is not blocked, but we can deal with the block on your IP address here. You are not blocked for vandalism and I don't think anyone has said your edits are vandalism, you are blocked for persistent addition of unsourced content. The addition of unsourced content is a serious issue that we can only grant you so much leeway on. Please tell me what problems there are with the statement "The SE 2 may already have entered mass production. Code in iOS 14 shows that there may be a regular-sized version and a Plus-sized version. It may start shipping before April 5, 2020." that you made. 331dot (talk) 15:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@331dot: This is the source: https://www.extremetech.com/mobile/308096-the-iphone-se-2-reportedly-enters-mass-production-iphone-12-delayed I have a source for everything. I just sometimes forget to add it, that's all. Please unblock me and I will give everything a source. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 15:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- The problem is not just the lack of a source. 331dot (talk) 15:31, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- I am the blocking admin of the IP address. I have no objections to that block being converted to anon-only, if this user demonstrates an understanding of WP:RS and WP:CITE and a commitment to abide by them and to avoid logged-out editing. I note that iPhone SE 2 is an inappropriate article at this time for very many reasons, WP:CRYSTAL being one of the most obvious. As always, admins are free to act as they see fit if they believe it appropriate to lift my block even if the conditions I lay out are not satisfied. --Yamla (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@Yamla: @331dot: I will never make predictions without giving a reliable source, and only talking about the present or past if there are reliable sources. I promise. Please unblock me.
- Yours, ◊PRAHLADBalaji 16:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@Yamla: @331dot: OK then, I will never make predictions at all, and I will only talk about the present or past if there are reliable sources. I promise never to do anything besides that. Please unblock me. -Yours, ◊PRAHLADBalaji 16:47, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Someone else will review your block; I would suggest that you stop pinging admins. I state again- no one as far as I can tell has called your edits vandalism or said you are trying to vandalize. You are not blocked for vandalism. But we will need more than your promise to add sources; I would suggest that you demonstrate a potential edit you would make with a proper source.

OK then. I understand. I'll leave you alone :) -◊PRAHLADBalaji 17:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- In my opinion, you haven't yet demonstrated an understanding of WP:RS. For example, your unblock request asks us not to delete that article, but none of the sources fit the criteria of WP:RS. Indeed, I'd argue none could possibly fit the criteria at this time. Step back, read WP:RS, and give some specific examples of reliable sources with regard to Apple products. Note, and I want to be clear here, I expect you'll be able to do this! I expect you'll be unblocked. I'm just concerned that you are saying you understand WP:RS but haven't demonstrated this yet. And look, it'd be crazy to lift the block, only to have to immediately reblock you the next time you introduced uncited content or content cited with an unreliable source! Let's slow down and take the time to do this right. --Yamla (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
@Yamla: OK, I'll take the challenge.

-◊PRAHLADBalaji 19:56, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, look, this is good enough for me to extend good faith to you and lift the part of the block that was affecting you. You should be able to edit now. Please be careful, because neither of us (honestly, not you and not me) wants you to be blocked again. So, please make sure you cite all information with reliable sources, and avoid speculation, rumors, and guesses (even if those guesses are from other sites). It looks like this is your plan, and so you should be able to edit now! --Yamla (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Android 11
Why did you redirect Android 11 under WP:CRYSTAL with no discussion? We have had articles for pre-release Android versions before. Can you please discuss such controversial changes before doing them? ViperSnake151 Talk 17:15, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
- @ViperSnake151: OK ViperSnake. Just because you've done prerelease Android versions doesn't make it right. Now, here's some examples (not necessarily Android-related). Take iOS 14. That was redirected to iOS over WP:CRYSTAL without a discussion. Why? The leaks we have may turn out to be incorrect. Nothing can satisfy WP:CRYSTAL like a product officially being announced. Although what you are saying is correct about holding a discussion. I will do that next time. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 17:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Cut & paste versus move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give System on a chip a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into System on chip. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Pichpich (talk) 19:05, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
@Pichpich: Yes, but if I try to move the article, System on chip, it gives me an error message that says, "Error: A page of this name already exists." -◊PRAHLADBalaji 21:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
- Right. But that error message also explains what you should do in that case which is to make a request at WP:Requested moves. As you might have seen, your cut & paste has been reverted and it seems that other editors disagree on what the title of the article should be. This was in fact discussed 7 years ago and if you want to change the title, you should probably start a discussion on the article's talk page and get a consensus for this change. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
OK, thanks. -◊PRAHLADBalaji 22:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

BCI Research Award page
Hello, Thank you for your attention to this page. I hereby post a request to you that is similar to requests I posted with other editors (with no reply). I respectfully ask your help to make the page both (1) accurate and (2) consistent with Wikipedia guidelines. I will work with you.
A fundamental problem with this page is that editors keep removing or deleting revisions based on assumptions that are incorrect. I have contacted them and received no reply. I ask for your help with this problem. Two examples from the page's edit history:
curprev 10:01, 18 April 2020 Justlettersandnumbers talk contribs 4,431 bytes -70,256 rm a mass of content apparently copied entirely from its website, unsourced or ill-sourced, constituting an interminable list of apparently non-notable people (not one blue link among the recipients)
(1) There were sources, including external websites and a peer-reviewed publication from a highly respected independent scientific publisher, Springer Publishing. (2) In response to a prior edit that reasonably asked for related activities, I wrote a section called "Associated Events" with external events (including links). This was original content that I wrote, and a quick check would have shown that this text is not from that website. (3) The "non-notable" presumption is quixotic. A quick web-search would have shown that most people listed (jury members and award recipients) are experts with many independent publications. Presuming this just because there were no blue links without any objective effort to check on this is consistent with other edits that seem only concerned with presumed page propriety rather than making the page better (eg more accurate or better-linked).
curprev 11:13, 8 January 2020 Justlettersandnumbers talk contribs 74,575 bytes -12,280 Reverted to revision 931121767 by Ceyockey: WP:COI/WP:PAID editors are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from editing the article directly, but may request changes using {{request edit}} on the talk-page
I have been paid by Springer Publishing as an editor/author for the book series about the BCI Research Awards, such as: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-05668-1_11. We do not receive royalties, just a small lump-sum payment for each book.
I was not paid to edit this page, nor any other page I edited in Wikipedia, notably many edits to the BCI page. I did so to inform the public about a rapidly growing field of scientific and medical research that is relevant to a growing number of people. The BCI Society and g.tec - the two entities that support the awards - have also not paid anyone. If my word is not sufficient, I could ask these entities to confirm via email. Or, please explain how to address this concern.
Thank you.
