Speedy deletion declined: Sky Guide (application)

Hello Usernamekiran. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sky Guide (application), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to software. Thank you. SoWhy 07:24, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Hi. Thanks for the heads-up. I am aware about software dont come under A7, but I thought it could have been done in this case as it was clearly not notable. I have PROD'ed the article, I will do that from now on. Regards, —usernamekiran(talk) 11:39, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

talk pages banners

I had stopped bothering, or at least it is not high on the list of things to do, but perhaps it is worthwhile for reasons I am unaware of. Thanks for the prompt review, happy editing. cygnis insignis 13:20, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

@Cygnis insignis: Hi. Thanks for the prompt reply too. Adding the banners is helpful in many ways. The first thing that comes to my mind is that it becomes traceable through wikiprojects, for example, an editor who is trying to find out all the articles related to plants can find this through the wikiproject. See you around :) —usernamekiran(talk) 13:27, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

sorry about কলমি শাক

I just forgot to add the redirect for some reason i added the redirect and fixed it it was a error on my part and not vandalism Abote2 (talk) 09:51, 12 October 2018 (UTC) BTW the term is mentioned on the article it redirects to Abote2 (talk) 09:52, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

@Abote2: Hi. I thought the same. But I wasnt sure what the redirect target was, and I didnt think it was vandalism. I was confused if it was actually a redirect page, or a test page. No worries now :) See you around. —usernamekiran(talk) 10:02, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

LDS cinema

Please do not undo my actions. That was the easier way. And we don't refer to members of the LDS Church as "Mormons" anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobThomas15 (talk • contribs) 01:47, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

LDS cinema

Look, I don't want to fight about it. I just want you to make it right. The Lord has asked us to stop using the term "Mormon" when referring to members of the LDS Church. It is not the Church of Mormon, it is the Church of Jesus Christ. So could you please change the name of the page "Mormon cinema" back to "LDS cinema"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobThomas15 (talk • contribs) 22:06, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

NPP Backlog

Given the increase in the backlog since July what makes you think it's under control? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:00, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: if we assume current number of unreviewed pages is 4000, the number of articles nearing the indexing date is extremely small. Back when I started reviewing, there were a lot less reviewers than now, the backlog was around 22,000; a big chunk of that number was nearing the index date, and another chunk was already listed/indexed. Given the fact that there are not many articles in the last two week pool from being indexed, i would say the backlog is under control :) —usernamekiran(talk) 15:45, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

About deletion of Pratisaad film article.

First thing I want to tell while reading this keep head cool and look at post in vage way, you say you are against Vadalism then why different treatment??? I have notice everything have different treatment and rules on wikipedia! Film page of Pratisaad Is marked for deletion and Sorry and Gadbad Gondhal as well. I did research over it for almost hour I found this director is a genuine one apart Pratisaad is worlds first film on homeopathy if you do research in that direction you will get lot of material over it! This film is a biography of world famous doctor. I have tried to find sources given to page but after checking this reliable pages of news papers i found this news papers dont keep old news only ie not before 2016. For this check neatly the reference editors quoted must be genuine but may be archive or deleted . The award mentioned they have won is genuine check IMDB Awards section which us very genuines and reliable source of information for films! The directors page having genuine reference which make clear he made films and SORRY is film he made which is clear on net he is delaying due to may be he wanted to release in festivals. Though I’m marathi I understand marathi film makers ofter do that Sorry has got awards which is not recognised so its not available on IMDB But after research i found the awards official facebook page where film SORRY and Gadbad Gondhal’s nominations and awards announcements are there check page and see post of oct/nov/dec 2017. https://m.facebook.com/ambarbharari/?tsid=0.7972966838332627&source=result

Facebook count as notable reference kindly check Tu Maza Jeev posters reference for it. I have also noticed on IMDB and on net TIVEN2240 is user whos name is listed on Tu maza jeev films IMDB page as Social Media Marketing Manager which is against paid advocacy right??? After raising this many people have got banned. Tiven and userkiran may be misguiding kindly do translation and reckeck links , IMDB , Facebooks of everything they initiate to delete.

If as you say in profile you are aginst Vadalism kindly see the articles created by Your friend Tuven and edits made references given? Dont it fit in Notability criteria? His name is listed in imdb of tu maza jeev still he created article?????? Its all comes in Paid Advocasy! Lets c how truthfulyou are now!!! All I’d say is see this issue and sort. 🙏🏻 thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.248.235.234 (talk) 10:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

St-Catherine taffy

In case you would like, here's a traditional regional candy commonly eaten around Halloween, made out of molasses. I couldn't find a picture on commons, but here's one of the many recipes, in case you'd like to try it: [1]. There are variants, many don't like the baking soda, some like less corn syrup and more molasses, etc. It's a lot of work to pull and family/children help is recommended. I'm aware that Indians also have many candies (some in fact inspired internationally known ones), so you may know something that's very similar already. —PaleoNeonate – 09:35, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

How do I update reviews?

This is what I tried:Carol Smallwood (talk) 19:49, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

It worked 4-11-18 The Wikipedia procedure for requesting updates to articles: go to the talk page at left side of screen, article; then click the "New section" tab, type the code {{request edit}} (including the curly brackets) followed by your requested addition, and then click the "Publish changes" button. You should then keep an eye on the talk page for a couple of days, in case there are any questions for you.

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Usernamekiran, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.

Excuse me, could you please change the name of the page "Mormon cinema" back to its proper name, "LDS cinema"? "Mormon" is not the real name of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is just a nickname. And people have stopped using the term "Mormon", as a commandment from the Lord Himself.

LDS cinema

Excuse me, but could you please change the name of the article "Mormon cinema" back to its proper name, "LDS cinema"? That would be the right thing to do. The proper name for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is "latter-day saints". "Mormon" is just a nickname. Members of that Church do not worship Mormon, they worship Jesus Christ. For that reason, the Lord has asked us to stop using the term "Mormon". And there was absolutely no need for you to change the title. RobThomas15 (talk) 13:04, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

@RobThomas15: Hi. I apologise for the delayed reply. I was not actively editing wikipedia for a while. The page-move you are referring to, I wasn't the one who did it. I merely carried out the task which was discussed here: Talk:Mormon fiction#Requested move 23 May 2018. If you want the article to be renamed again, I suggest you to read Wikipedia:Requested moves. There, you can see how page moves (page renaming) are handled on wikipedia. After that, I would suggest you to start a formal discussion to rename the article. Information about that can be found on the same page above. If you have more doubts, please feel free to ask me. Regards, —usernamekiran(talk) 07:05, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Kiran,

I just noticed your edit revert.

You've highlighted Wikipedia:Banning_policy#Proxying. I fully respect this policy: "...unless they are able to show that the changes are either verifiable or productive and they have independent reasons for making such edits..."

This user is Ambedkarite activist and as such would like to identified this. I agree that there are other reasons and edits for which there might be a call for punitive action. But self-identification and dedication with a cause which is verifiable offline should not be discounted. Moreover it is his userpage and not any Wikipedia article. Please explain your point of view. --Muzammil (talk) 23:09, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

@Hindustanilanguage: Hi :) I hope you are doing well. It is not his userpage. We are here to improve the wikipedia through articles. Thats what the policy refers to while describing the allowed edits. A user in good standing can have limited information about themselves (WP:UPYES). But we are talking about a user who has been blocked indefinitely for disruptive editing, topic ban violation, and for sock-puppetry as well. If such a (blocked) user with less than 300 edits wants to identify himself, or his dedication with a cause, then a social media-website is best suited for him rather than an encyclopaedia's userpage :) —usernamekiran(talk) 23:27, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

@Hindustanilanguage: @Usernamekiran:, Considering policy reasons/constraints, I can't agree with Kiran more and additionally I have been watching such attempts by this particular and few more users, and I am really amused to see, if one is involved in copyvio, vandalism, promotional editing, edit warring, t-ban violations, sock-puppetry, personal attacks, harassment of other editors and that too across various projects. Why one wants to be associated with someone really respected in the field of social reformation. In fact, such users have nothing to do with Ambedkar or wider social reformation politics/social movements. So, such far fetched associations and attempts to show affiliations should be discouraged. thanks QueerEcofeminist ^{"cite! even if you fight"!!!} [they/them/their] 04:46, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello Usernamekiran,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

I Got It!!!

Thanks for lightening up the mood for me at WP:BN! I got the joke. :) -- Dolotta (talk) 13:19, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

lol, me too. And surprised it was taken seriously!--regentspark (comment) 15:23, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

• I didn't get the joke. Sorry. In regards to my reply, Worm That Turned was right to scold me for it. But, just to be clear, it was meant in good humor. Yes, it was incredibly crass and at your expense, but I was not actually intending to be mean or aggressive or hostile. It was just meant as a humorous remark on the fact that I had no idea what your comment meant. I apologize for not getting that you were just making a joke, for my tone, and for any hurt feelings. Sorry to Worm as well, I will try to keep my peanut gallery commentary off of BN. :P Anyway, hope there's no hard feelings, let me know if you ever need anything Kiran! ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 04:17, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

  Thanks guys.
  @Swarm: lol, no hard feelings, and you have no need to apologise. But to be honest, like WTT said, I am a lottle aware of your feelings about the current situation. So, at first I mistook your comment as hostile/aggressive. But later I realised it could be sarcastic, or something like from buddy-cop films I still wasnt sure though. But now everything is clear, and thankfully UnivitedCompany took care of it. Part of the joke referred to the period where there were no RfA, and Jimmy would hand out adminship. —usernamekiran(talk) 04:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I get it, I definitely got overly-emotional and overly-aggressive in relation to the Fram situation, so I can see how it would seem like I was being hostile because I was still worked up about the situation. But nah, I was just being silly. I appreciate that you were able to take it in stride, and again, I apologize for my confusion in the first place. You may not know this, but I am truly an idiot. :P Best, ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 05:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

oops

sorry about that - and ty. --— Ched :  ?  — 14:31, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

My name is

Hello Usernamekiran,

In a conversation about RfA questions, you referred to me as "Jimmy". Only my earliest childhood friends call me that. Nobody else. I have gone by "Jim" ever since I learned to write my name, and "Jimmy" might confuse people, since there is a famous editor named Jimmy Wales. Also, you tried to ping me as User:Cullen. That retired editor has nothing to do with me and has not edited in ten years. I am User:Cullen328. Please call me either Jim or Cullen328. Thank you. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:37, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jim. I apologise, I thought you might like it if called by the name Jimmy. Wouldnt do that again :)
Also, BU Rob 13, and RHaworth don't seem to be very fond of the name Bob. While we are on the topic, I have a very strong feeling that GorillaWarfare wouldnt like it if we call them just Gorilla.
That also reminds me, I have been meaning to ask you this since a very long time now: whats the relation between Cullen, Jim, and Heaphy? I hope you dont mind me asking, and please feel free to decline to answer if you are not comfortable
I am guessing Cullen is your legal name, Jim is a nickname, and Heaphy is the surname/last name. —usernamekiran(talk) 07:06, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Cullen is a middle name that runs through at least four generations of my family. My grandfather was called "Cullen" on an everyday basis by his closest friends. He died suddenly a few months before I was born. So, my name is a tribute to him and the other Cullens in my family. My legal first name is "James" but I use Jim for everything but legal papers. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:49, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

@Cullen328: that's interesting history thank you very much for sharing it :)
In the state of Maharashtra, unless one is a Muslim or Christian; one gets their father's name as the middle name. —usernamekiran(talk) 10:10, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

@Cullen328: For what it's worth, a fair number of people call me just "Gorilla" and I don't mind it 🙂 GorillaWarfare (talk) 01:56, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

You are clearly a friendly, thoughtful, reasonable gorilla, and among the best of Wikipedia editors. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:04, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:HSCA Report, Preface 0A.pdf

The page File:HSCA Report, Preface 0A.pdf has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Microsoft Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review Wikiacc (¶) 21:15, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true. No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well. MarnetteD|Talk 20:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

About this article Gudiya Hamari Sabhi Pe Bhari

This article is not at all eligible for deletion, it is a national TV serial of a national television network of India. I live in India and I am Indian so I knew more than any outsiders, isn't it. See this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gudiya Hamari Sabhi Pe Bhari. Thank you Kitaab Ka Kida (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Deleted article re-appears

Greetings, Usernamekiran. You deleted the article on Brahma Chellaney but it seems it has been resurrected. Would that merit a generous dose of salt, perhaps? -The Gnome (talk) 08:25, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

• @The Gnome: Hi. It was Anthony Appleyard who had deleted it, I just closed the AfD. It was also him who undeleted it, and performed histmerge; as can be seen here. I think there must be some reason why he did all that. Pinging Anthony. —usernamekiran(talk) 13:39, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
• @The Gnome and Usernamekiran: As requested by User:GeoffreyT2000 at 15:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC), see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_history_merge&oldid=931970980 at "New requests". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks for the response, Anthony Appleyard. In the link to which you directed us, GeoffreyT2000 requested the following: "The page User talk:Alpinespace/sandbox had some deleted edits, and those edits should be restored and merged into the history of Brahma Chellaney. Also, the deleted edits for Brahma Chellaney and Talk:Brahma Chellaney should be restored following the article's recreation. (GeoffreyT2000, 22 December 2019)" Could you please help me understand how we can have an "article's recreation" after (immediately after) the article's deletion following an AfD? Thanks in advance. -The Gnome (talk) 03:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

• @The Gnome, Usernamekiran, and GeoffreyT2000: User:GeoffreyT2000 asked me to restore some edits and perform a history-merge, and I obeyed him. Again I seem to be caught between two disputing parties. This is the first time that I have heard of Brahma Chellaney (the man and the article). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:48, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard, the starting point I believe, after the decision to delete it, is to make sure the article "Brahma Chellaney" no longer appears on Wikipedia. Let's start with that action and then you as an admin may do whatever you decide to do in order to accomodate GeoffreyT2000's request, if possible. Thanks again for the prompt response. -The Gnome (talk) 10:35, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

• @The Gnome, Usernamekiran, and GeoffreyT2000: In page Brahma Chellaney's edit history, the last edit by User:Chellaney was at 17:47, 8 January 2009‎. Since then, the page has been very much edited. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brahma Chellaney was started at 16:34, 19 December 2019‎ by User:Anthony Appleyard by converting a speedy-delete request. Since then, the page had been restarted at 15:16, 21 December 2019‎ at 7,342 bytes by User:Alpinespace. Does it contain any queryable matter as it stands now? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:36, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

• I'm afraid, Anthony Appleyard, that, after a decision to delete has been taken, we are in no position to ask whether or not an article "contain[s] any queryable matter". The text may have been improved but the process of posting up the text immediately after the AfD is against all due-process etiquette; such action effectively renders the AfD process null and void. I ask you to delete the article a.s.a.p. and, moreover, salt it, in view of the attempt by a dedicated account to revive it (which is, so far, unfortunately, allowed to succeed). Let's do the right thing here! -The Gnome (talk) 16:01, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

• @The Gnome, Usernamekiran, and GeoffreyT2000: I have now deleted page Brahma Chellaney. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:41, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
• @The Gnome, Usernamekiran, GeoffreyT2000, and Anthony Appleyard: This whole issue has arisen because the article on Brahma Chellaney was unjustly deleted on 08 November 2019. That article had been on Wikipedia for nearly 11 years. Over this period, many had contributed to it or edited its contents. If there was any issue with that article, the problem areas should have been flagged and efforts made to correct them. But, in one fell swoop, the article was deleted. This was clearly a drastic action. Believing the step to be unfair, I approached Anthony Appleyard and then re-created a much shorter article with relevant citations. The intent was to present an objective overview to Wikipedia readers. If re-creation of an article after AfD is problematic, as The Gnome has submitted, then the original deletion decision of 08 November 2019 should be reversed to allow for the purging of any promotional elements in the article. Having no article on Brahma Chellaney, I'm afraid, will not redound to Wikipedia's credit, especially since Wikipedia carries articles on lesser known academics. Let's be fair. Alpinespace (talk) 13:51, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

• An article can exist for one or eleven years in Wikipedia and then get rightfully deleted because the current standards do not allow its inclusion, because there was an overwight when it first came up, or for any other legitimate reason. You're presenting arguments for retaining an article, any article really, that are not acceptable in Wikipedia policy, e.g. "many people have worked on it." The contested article has gone through the AfD process twice and both times the decision was to delete it. Instead of trying the back foor of illegitimately recreating a deleted article, it is recommended that you or anyone else (I'm guessing some relation exists among the rather dedicated accounts around this issue) use the drafting process and ask advice from an experienced administrator about the worthiness of the subject, the proper way of preparing your draft text, etc. -The Gnome (talk) 21:50, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

• @The Gnome, Usernamekiran, GeoffreyT2000, and Anthony Appleyard: Wikipedia represents a collaborative system of contributors. But the manner in which the original article was deleted, as well as the removal of the shorter version I created in its place after consulting Anthony Appleyard, undercuts the collaborative spirit. Any deletion must be a reasoned and consensual decision among editors under Wikipedia rules. I’m afraid that rule wasn’t adhered to. I am also struck by the peremptory tone of The Gnome. Not only did he falsely accuse me of running a dedicated account (I have no relationship with the subject of the deleted article), but also he imperiously ordered an experienced and respected administrator like Anthony Appleyard to delete my contribution asap. This raises a larger issue than the specific AfD — about the need to be congenial and collaborative. A little respect and congeniality can go a long way. I wish you all a happy, peaceful and fulfilling New Year. Alpinespace (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

• Wikipedia has rules and policies, Alpinespace. These were followed to the letter in the AfD process. If you claim a policy (or even a guideline) was violated, you should specify which one/s exactly and how. You claim that the process "undercut the collaborative spirit" of Wikipedia but the only violation of that spirit consisted of the attempt of a single editor, you, to bypass and ignore the collective consensus. You are strongly advised to assume good faith from your fellow editors. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 18:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
