Kashmir Files Consensus help

edit

Thanks for helping with consensus on Kashmir Files. It is still a long way to get the edit in given the ongoing biased editing by some "experienced" editors.

I will figure out how to stick a Barnstar here but in the meanwhile, treat my comment as one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsachin (talkcontribs) 19:15, 19 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Looks like a group among them is now changing opinion and opposing the change. Webberbrad007 (talk) 08:55, 20 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

June 2022

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nupur Sharma (politician). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Kautilya3 (talk) 00:01, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

I beg to differ. It is you who reverted me twice despite RS. You used a source not in the RS list. So, I would suggest that you reconsider your edits.
Instead you have demonstrated a lack of WP:CIVILITY by not WP:AGF and accusing me of "whitewashing" without evidence. This is indeed surprising given the amount of time you have been editing Wikipedia for. I shall leave this message on your talk page too because that is where it belongs, as you reverted me twice. -- Webberbrad007 (talk) 07:21, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Stalking

edit

I will appreciate if you stop following me around. TrangaBellam (talk) 08:43, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please stick to WP:AGF.
I am interested in India related topics and it appears that you are too. So it is likely that we will cross paths.
For an example of what stalking is, look at your unwarranted revert of my explained edit.I would appreciate if you stop this. Webberbrad007 (talk) 22:26, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I has been watching the Somnatha page since I joined wiki, which was long before you. The t/p features multiple long discussions between me, K3, and Sarah Welch which explains why I had the page watch-listed and spotted your edit.
Unlike you, in the case of Andaman etc. Thanks, TrangaBellam (talk) 17:15, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Watching a page or editing it earlier than another editor doesn't confer any rights. Your "I was here first" argument holds no water.
I note that you haven't explained your unwarranted revert. Webberbrad007 (talk) 18:17, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
.
Poor quality and unencyclopedic, this. Thankfully people noticed and you had to remove it. Webberbrad007 (talk) 20:54, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Had to remove what? I replaced one word with another. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:12, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
That word ("Islamophobe") is what was identified as "poor quality and unencyclopedic". On top of it, the source didn't support it. It was completely WP:SYNTH. Good that you removed it after it got noticed. Would have been better if you hadn't tried it in the first place though. Webberbrad007 (talk) 18:20, 28 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unwarranted reverts

edit

Please do not revert without a policy-based justification [1]. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I did provide a clear justification. Your changes are unwarranted and you continue to make them. This is a clear case of bringing in a POV by alleging that sources are not reliable. Please discuss on the relevant talk page. Webberbrad007 (talk) 23:17, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I said policy-based justification, not your opinions. If you do one more revert like this again, you will go to ANI for WP:Disruptive editing. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Feel free to take this to uninvolved editors or Admins. You have made these threats to me before too. It appears to be your modus. Webberbrad007 (talk) 23:51, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Also, if you don't provide a clear reason after my latest explanation of why we need to attribute the Sanskrit text bit to Thapar, I would proceed with adding the attribution. Webberbrad007 (talk) 23:53, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
No, you can't. As per WP:ONUS it is your job to establish consensus. If you reinstate without consensus, you would be edit warring. I took the trouble to cut and paste the policy for your reading and enlightenment. If you can't understand it, it is not my problem. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:57, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
The policy doesn't apply because it can't be claimed as a fact as I have explained. In addition, I have provided evidence of scholars being shocked by Thapar's claim.
If you insist, I am happy to take the RFC route. Webberbrad007 (talk) 00:00, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your DS alert on my talk page

edit

@Venkat TL, the page I am editing doesn't fall under BLP, which is also mentioned on the talk page. The page is about the crime. So I will be reverting your post on my tp. Webberbrad007 (talk) 10:35, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

You are free to revert my post from your talk page, I have no concerns about it. But please be corrected that this page very much falls under WP:BLP because the article Murder of Kanhaiya Lal is about 2 living people and 1 recently dead man. All 3 come under WP:BLP. Admin @Doug Weller can check and correct me if I am wrong. May be the article talk page needs the DS template to clarify this. Venkat TL (talk) 10:40, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Webberbrad007 Venkat is absolutely correct. And of course the alert is also appropriate, not just because of that particular article.Note the two big boxes at the top of the page, one says "The Arbitration Committee has authorized uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on users who edit pages related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, including this article." The other says "While the biographies of living persons policy does not apply directly to the subject of this article, it may contain material that relates to living persons, such as friends and family of persons no longer living, or living persons involved in the subject matter. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons must be removed immediately." Doug Weller talk 12:55, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Doug Weller, I have had ds/aware about India, Pakistan and Afghanistan on my talk page, so that alert wouldn't be necessary.
Regarding BLP, I acknowledge the alert on the article talk page. However, the BLP ds/alert is specific to WP:BLP based on the wording of the alert. If that article is part of WP:BLP, then the alert on the article talk page should be updated. Webberbrad007 (talk) 13:03, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
That's not necessary, and I knew you had the IPA alert. By the way, reverting an alert doesn't somehow cancel it. I will see what I can do about the wording, but the sanctions cover "any edit in any article with biographical content relating to living or recently deceased people or any edit relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles of any page in any namespace"[2] Doug Weller talk 13:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
At the risk of being anal, the wording in the DS(2014) housekeeping provisions links article with biographical content relating to living or recently deceased people to WP:BLP while the alert on the article talk page explicitly states WP:BLP does not apply.
I acknowledge the alert on the article talk page in its entirety including the part about unsourced and poorly sourced content. However, if the ds/alert has to be made applicable, I believe the wording of either the ds/alert or the alert on the article talk page needs to be updated. This will avoid any such confusion in the future. Webberbrad007 (talk) 13:30, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
And my quote doesn't mention the BLP policy. Doug Weller talk 13:38, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
You are way too senior on Wikipedia for me to argue with. So I shall, under protest, accept that the alert was rightly given if that is still your view.
However, for future, the wording should be updated because any logical third person reading it will arrive at the same conclusion I did. Webberbrad007 (talk) 13:46, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I was elected twice to the WP:Arbitration Committee. I've also asked a current Arb about this and they don't see any need. I've never heard your interpretation before. Doug Weller talk 12:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
As I said, you far outrank me on Wikipedia. I have a lot to pick up on and will take this as one of those things. Webberbrad007 (talk) 19:29, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
We all do when we are new. I did, and things were easier then. Doug Weller talk 20:25, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Happy for you to take this to arbitration. The addition of Lee Rigby and Samuel Paty qualify as tangentially related topics under MOS:SEEALSO. It is you who is engaging in Edit warring. Webberbrad007 (talk) 17:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring is not a method to add controversial content

edit

Once you are reverted you cannot add it back. Edit warring is not a method to add controversial content. Please see WP:DR and work to gain consensus to add it back into the article. Venkat TL (talk) 17:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

You reverted existing content. It isn't controversial except for your lack of understanding of MOS:SEEALSO. I am happy for you to engage uninvolved admins or editors on this. Stop making unfounded accusations please. Webberbrad007 (talk) 17:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
That is not existing content. Article is not even a week old. Someone added something controversial, Someone removed it and now the person adding it has only option left to discuss and make consensus (see WP:ONUS). there is no such option that if he adds it 3 times, it will be kept. Please dont be in any kind of illusion. WP:BRD is very clear on this. Venkat TL (talk) 17:13, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I am not sure I understand. Who is adding what 3 times that it will be kept? Webberbrad007 (talk) 17:20, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I think your objection might have been resolved now that another editor has made the wording of the links more clear. Webberbrad007 (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
It was a general statement. which is why I said "Someone". Please do remember to check WP:BOOMERANG. If you disagree with my opinion on existing content, you can ask an admin, instead of assuming something wrong and then edit warring. Ok, I will check and comment on the article talk page. Venkat TL (talk) 17:24, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
You seem to again have a skewed understanding of WP:BOOMERANG. You were the one who came here to warn me that I might be blocked. So I explained to you why I believed I was right citing relevant policies and asked you to proceed with your threat if you disagreed. Webberbrad007 (talk) 17:52, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service

edit

Hi Webberbrad007! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

  1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
  2. Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
  3. Paste {{Frs user|Webberbrad007|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
  4. Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you!
