Hello Ratnajyotimallickdhimal - All information added to Wikipedia articles must be verifiable by citing references to reliable sources, and it is the burden, of the person who wants to make the addition or change, to add those references when altering a Wikipedia article.
Each one of the words in green is a link which leads to the relevant Wikipedia policy/guideline which you should read to understand why your additions were deleted. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 10:09, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Is this guy another sock of Alibaba1235 and SHAHEENHUN? He won't stop vandalising these same pages. Thanks Mramoeba (talk) 12:39, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mramoeba - I don't know, but User:Imranali11 has been blocked indefinitely. - Arjayay (talk) 12:42, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Surgicel

I am new to editing on Wikipedia and I have been trying to edit the page on surgicel and my edits are constantly being removed. I am currently employed by Ethicon and I was told to update the page with new information. The information I have provided for the page was not advertising nor was it promotional. The edits that I provided were informative on the different types of hemostats as well as the purpose of each one. Please consider the edits, thanks. Eultron — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eultron (talkcontribs) 17:50, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Eultron - from your statement above, it appears that, not only do you have a Conflict of interest, (which you have already been warned about) but you are also a paid contributor. Under The Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use you must disclose your "employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation" as per wmf:Terms of use#4. Refraining from Certain Activities.
As you have not done so, all your edits are likely to be removed until you comply with the terms of use. I suggest that you inform you employer of this, in order that they can reconsider their instructions to you.
Despite your claims above, I also believe that your alterations were both "advertising" and "promotional", and also broke several other editing rules, so would probably be removed in any case. - Arjayay (talk) 19:21, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Bridgnorth

Arjayay - Would you please add that Bridgnorth has the only known volunteer-run Saturday Park and Ride in the country. It is run by Bridgnorth Chamber of Commerce volunteer bus drivers between April and October. The minibus is supplied by The Endowed School and the car park is at the Nock Deighton Auction and Livestock market at Tasley. Charge to use the bus is free but parking is £2 per car. When Nock Deighton have sales taking place on Saturdays the park and ride cannot operate. The buses run every fifteen minutes to drop off in the High Street. There is also a 'shop and drop' service whereby the passengers can give the driver their shopping and it is kept in a locked shed until collection. It is funded by various chamber of commerce members including some market traders. Bridgnorth has a particular problem with insufficient parking spaces on Saturdays as one of the car parks has a market on part of it and the high street has a market in the usual car park spaces. Also, because it is such a popular tourist destination day-trippers flood in then struggle to park. Marie Sever (talk) 12:41, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

A beer for you!

You are welcome.

Regarding this edit, her place of birth is mentioned in her official website here which writes "Born in Daman but raised in Auckland". The website also links to her verified twitter [1] and facebook accounts[2]. I believe it is OK. What do you think? Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:16, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Fylindfotberserk
Both her Date and Place of birth have been a matter of some dispute on her article - we all know that musicians and actors/actresses DoB's are often altered (a friend of mine suddenly became 3 years younger when he joined a well known band). Although not WP:Independent, which may upset some editors, citing her website is better than not citing any source - even if it is subsequently removed by someone wanting an independent source. - Arjayay (talk) 17:28, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
a friend of mine suddenly became 3 years younger when he joined a well known band That's quite true sir since that happened to me as well. Personal websites are a no-no for DoB obviously but what purpose could a misleading birth place serve? Anyway, if this is disputed then I'm not going to add it. Curiously, the article and talkpage have a lot of Daman and Diu related categories. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

About references

I think this text "This article draws some information from the corresponding article in Chinese Wikipedia" in reference (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joshua_Wong&diff=prev&oldid=902254111) should be deleted? - because Wikipedia editing rule (Wikipedia:Verifiability#Wikipedia and sources that mirror or use it) doesn't allow to reference on its own Wikipedia pages (as there notice that information might draw some details from Chinese Wikipedia page). There exist some template for referencing on Wikipedia pages in other Wikipedia languages, like Template:Expand language (it's for stubs mostly) or Template:Translated page (this translator usually places), but it looks there no need for them either. PoetVeches (talk) 19:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi PoetVeches - I can understand your confusion - in addition to reliable sources, Wikipedia also requires attribution, i.e. who originally added the information. When adding information from another languages Wikipedia page, the editor who initially added the information should be credited, but when a page has had multiple editors, this is difficult/impossible.
We, therefore, state that part of the article has been translated, so if a reader wants to know who added the information, it can be tracked back - albeit that that can be very difficult in a foreign language.
For more information, please see Wikipedia:Translation, specifically Wikipedia:Translation#How_to_translate which explains that "The new, translated article must credit the source article." and how to do it - it was this information that you deleted, and which I re-added. - Arjayay (talk) 21:04, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Drill

Are you sure you looked carefully at Hick's page? Regards80.229.34.113 (talk) 13:41, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

But you seem to be using WP as a source, no more. You're going through and finding a trivial mention of something, then prioritising it over all other possible links as needing inclusion. You're not sourcing these, you're not explaining why they're worth linking. Sure, Benjamin Hick had an engineering works, he built lots of stuff. But what substantial contribution did he make to beam engines, over and above his contemporaries? Certainly this wouldn't be obvious to anyone following that unexplained link. Nor did he have anything to do with compound steam locomotives, probably on account of having been dead for thirty years before Mallet built one. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:26, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Thats more like it, were Hick's 1834 3-cylinder vertical boiler locomotive and later A 2-2-2 loco compounded? Regards80.229.34.113 (talk) 14:55, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
If Hick had built a compound loco in 1834, that would be sufficiently exceptional that it ought to be in the body of the article, with a sentence, if not a paragraph. Not just a blind See also.
I know little about his 1834 loco. I presume you mean the one with the unusual vertical boiler and the "annular water space". AFAIR, this had a three cylinder engine with single-acting cylinders and a geared drive. There's some indication that it didn't even have an engine built for it, he just took a textile mill tenter engine from the factory and geared it to the wheels. Maybe it's an early precursor to the steam motor, but not AFAIK any sort of compound. A three cylinder engine does not imply a compound!
I know nothing about any 2-2-2 locos. He probably built them, everyone did. Compounded? Not AFAIK. We'd need a year to look further.
The main reason he didn't build compound steam locos is just thermodynamics. Loco boilers in Hick's time didn't have a high enough pressure for this to be a useful technique. It worked for stationary engines because these were condensing engines (even though low pressure) and so compounding can also be useful. But no low pressure compound steam locos either. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
Yes, the unusual vertical boiler loco with disc wheels - there is some technical info (the patent?) in the cite on Benj' Hick's page [3] and a model of the A 2-2-2 in Bolton museum (presumably a working patent model) that should demonstrate the principles of the design.

About "Eduardo Correa from Brazil"

Hi there!

I am new here. Ive added Eduardo Correa bio here (wikipedia), the way I managed to do that was creating a link to a non-existent page, so I create the page. Somehow, this new page (about Eduardo Correa) still over wikipedia analysis, so it looks like I am adding a non-existent page.

Well, I am sorry for the inconvenience. It´s my learning curve :-D

Hi Fernborba- thanks for your post. Please note you have not created a page.

This one beats all logic! There is a detailed history of the Gorkhaland movement that improves the article, yet you go and delete it in one sweep without a thought.

Dear Team,

Currently the page has been created under the name Century Financial (CFC) and correct name of the rand is Century Financial Consultancy LLC.

Appreciate the help.

Hi Century Financial (CFC)
We don't have a page called Century Financial (CFC) or Century Financial or Century Financial Consultancy or Century Financial Consultancy LLC so it appears that there is nothing to rename
Even if we did have such a page, we use the WP:COMMONNAME in English - not the "official" name e.g. Microsoft, not Microsoft Corporation - we almost never include Co. Inc, Co Ltd, LLC or LLP in our article titles

Why can't you be kind please?

Hello Arjayay, I really appreciate the tips you've given me regarding editing the article entitled "University of Benin (Nigeria)" and for captivating my attention to the shortcomings created by other contributors.

Conversely, your criticism is NOT constructive, rather you're practically against the development of the aforementioned University.

It is a truism that I have cited a good number of sources where applicable in the article, and most of them are primary sources.

Having diligently reviewed the alleged promotional content, I looked out for FACTS from reliable sources, and then edited the content from a neutral view. Yet, you ignored my efforts and removed the edited content (with facts and reliable sources) without patiently verifying the contents. Please, stop jeopardizing my suitable efforts.

Consequently, there's no more promotional content, and reliable sources which most of them are primary have been cited where applicable.

Thank you for your understanding, and I will appreciate any further suggestions. Zizikuli (talk) 21:50, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not interested in who you are, where you are from, or what you "know".
Wikipedia is only interested in what has already been published in reliable sources, which need to be cited in order to support information added to our pages.
There are also many additional policies and guidelines.
Specifically, with respect to your additions at Thamber, the rule is at WP:Settlement - "Include ONLY people with a Wikipedia article".
As your additions were of people who do not have their own articles, they were correctly removed, and any re-additions will be removed, unless/until the people you are adding have articles written about them, and those articles have been accepted in the English Wikipedia.
Please do not re-add these people until they have accepted articles, as that is disruptive editing, and you will end up being blocked - thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:02, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Editing on a page

Hello sir

I hv made a change on Page 'Herman Shopian' i living here i know everthing about Herman so i write. Their is nothing wrong. You are asking me to provide sources.

Hi Manzoor Elahie bhatt - as explained above:-
Wikipedia is not interested in who you are, where you are from, or what you "know".
Wikipedia is only interested in what has already been published in reliable sources, which need to be cited in order to support information added to our pages.
You are adding statements without any references, so they are being removed. For information on how to add citations, please see Help:Referencing for beginners
Many of your additions are also very trivial - Wikipedia is a world-wide encyclopedia and things like ATMs in Herman, Shopian are not noteworthy enough to be included.

Carole Boyd

I’m not claiming anything. It really DOESN’T matter if the information is unsourced.

I’m fed up with you and other editors removing truthful information and claiming it as unsourced when really, it being unsourced doesn’t matter. If it’s true, that’s good enough. 2A00:23C5:3FA0:A200:7D09:62FF:35E6:2F47 (talk) 16:32, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

It most certainly does matter if your addition is unsourced, as this is required by Verifiability - and we can only consider it as a "claim" not a "fact" because you have not provided a reliable source, to verify that is a fact.
If you are fed up with people removing your claims, you have two options - stop making such unsourced claims, or provide a referencefrom a reliable source to demonstrate that it is true - entirely your choice, - Arjayay (talk) 16:39, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
It does NOT matter if my addition or ANY addition is unsourced, as there’s no such thing as verifiability. My addition is not a “claim” it is a fact, it doesn’t matter that I have not provided a reliable source, verifying it as a fact is unnecessary and I won’t have you calling my edits “claims” or “unsourced claims” because they are NOT claims, they are FACTS. I’m fed up with you horrid people removing my edits and falsely referring to them as claims, like I said, and if that’s the case, you should stop doing it right now. You need to stop removing my edits, stop referring to them as “claims” or “unsourced claims”, just accept the edits as “true”, provide a better attitude, start considering my edits as “facts” or “true” and never mind about the reliable source.
If you don’t want me to continue mouthing you, you got two options - Do what I suggested above, or just clear off - entirely your choice 2A00:23C5:3FA0:A200:B97F:A823:55D7:A089 (talk) 08:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
If you believe "It does NOT matter if my addition or ANY addition is unsourced, as there’s no such thing as verifiability." Wikipedia is not the place for you.
If you repeat your unsourced claims, they will be reverted, as that is what Wikipedia's policies and guidelines require. Arjayay (talk) 09:34, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Dividend tax

Dear Arjayay: I would like to comment on your actions regarding edit war on "Dividend Tax" page that resulted in blocking me for 24 hours. I am already unblocked, but lost interest in editing since it looks unreasonable to me. For your benefit (and in case you will want to undo the harm, which I do not mean to do myself anymore), here are some explanations.

The war takes two sides. It was not me who started reverting, I was only restoring the old text deleted by Pencil Pusher. His stated motivation for deleting was the lack of source for the statement that all resources of a corporation are owned by its shareholders. This is a fake reason since the statement is self-evident. In fact, looking at the talk page I see that Pencil Pusher himself strongly objected to unreasonable demands for sources in the "Arguments in favor" section of the article. The obvious difference is that "arguments against" do not enjoy as much of his protectiveness.

I think supporters of Dividend Tax should put arguments (or criticize counterarguments) in the "Arguments in favor" section, not remove "arguments against" with made-up reasons. I myself think there are many valid arguments for and against. (The very existence of such sections obviously indicates a controversy.) It is important to have an unbiased representation of discussion, criticizing the opposing arguments rather than removing them.

And as a technical matter, since the first revert was not mine, it was not me who deserved to be blocked but rather those who reverted the original text (using one or several accounts). P.S. If you are not the one who has decided the block, you may consider sharing this explanation with him/her/them. 108.26.225.219 (talk) 20:59, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello IP from Newton, Massachusetts
I think you are misunderstanding the process here.
I reverted two of your edits:- this one and this one, both of which I described as "Rv unsourced additions and deletion of CN tags" - examination of your edits shows that to be completely true - in both cases you made unsourced additions, and in both cases you deleted CN (citation needed) tags.
With regard to your comments about Pencil Pusher, they deleted text which had been uncited since November 2016, and explained that in their edit summary - "Citation needed unanswered for 3 years. Deleted duplication with "double taxation" entry" - We could argue about 2 years 8 months, rather than 3 years, but fundamentally, their removal was totally correct - the claim had been questioned for a very long time, but no-one had provided a citation to back it up.
With regard to your reinstatement, WP:BURDEN is quite clear, "The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material. (the guideline's bold, not mine) so it was up to you to provide the citations - the second anything is "questioned" it is not "self-evident".
Finally. with regard to your block - I cannot block people, as I am not an admin - and I did not ask for you to be blocked either. You were blocked for violating the 3RR rule, which you were warned about at 13:17 on 10 July 2019, but ignored this and continued reverting at 13.52 and 16.59. Being blocked after such a clear warning is almost inevitable.
I believe you could be a useful contributor, but you need a better understand of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and to take heed when other editors warn you that you are breaking them. - Arjayay (talk) 21:11, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for 'chipping in' at this page. I have been trying to keep up with this rather WP:CIR editor for a few days now... as their talk page will show. They seem incapable of heeding advice and just repeat the same mistakes over & over. The refs are all a bit iffy and difficult to verify in some cases but at least there are some now and inline too! I am / was on the point of seeking some advice from Admin.; editor has failed to respond to messages at their TP. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 18:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Agreed - as per the second post at their talk page, I tried to advise them about references and No original research, but these were ignored.
Given their attempts to claim that the 1911 census covered information on dismantling tramways and explosions in 1916 I wonder how "honest" any of their other references are, especially as they are references to newspapers etc. without page numbers. To be honest, I'm not prepared to waste hours reading entire newspapers to check them out. They also tried to cite "interviews" with different people as references, so there clearly is a lot of Original research in their edits, which are becoming WP:UNDUE, if not WP:COATRACK on an article about a hamlet.
I'm not sure how best to proceed, as every deletion of a vague/false reference is replaced by another, improperly cited, reference. I don't know if you have a "tame" admin who you an ask to consider this, if so, please do so. - Arjayay (talk) 20:29, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
Ah yes, sorry, I did see that post but it did not register that it was by you – in fact I thought it was another editor entirely! Yes I agree that it is all becoming somewhat 'undue' and there is a clear 'obsession' here. The username is the same as a product mentioned in the page or a close corruption thereof and there have been no edits to other pages as far as I can see. The failure to engage or heed advice is definitely a concern. I have a 'shortlist' of Admins. who I ask for assistance when necessary and if the poor editing continues much into tomorrow I shall feel that the editor has had enough leeway and approach one of them. I'm also a little tempted to reduce the article rather drastically per undue and coatrack: as you say it's about a tiny hamlet not some defunct armaments factory. A two-line mention and linking to the SPC page should be enough I'd have thought. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 23:35, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

misspellings

I read this bit on your user page: "I dislike: Wikipedia keeping incorrectly spelt articles as redirects, which leads to more uses of the same misspelling, as editors copy the spelling in a blue or green link".

Indeed. Obviously, it is that way to help people find what they're looking for, but I agree that it has that nasty side effect.

I was just thinking, you know how a redirect can be tagged with hidden code to indicate that it's a redirect for a misspelling? Perhaps we could put together a proposal to make a small change in the Wikipedia software to still take you to the intended page, but show some kind of red warning to bring your attention to the fact that you got there through a redirect from a misspelling.

What do you think? Dr. Vogel (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dr. Vogel - thanks for your post, and apologies for the delay, but I've been thinking. (Always dangerous)
Initially your proposal, sounded good, but I wonder if we would just be cluttering up the pages with more colours, which would mean little to the majority of readers, i.e. those who are not regular editors, as they wouldn't know what the colours mean.
I already have a concern regarding red and green links - no help to the 2% of males who are totally red/green colour-blind, and of reduced help to the 7% of males, and 0.5% of females, who are partially red/green colour-blind.
As spell-checkers that work in the WP edit box have become standard on almost all browsers, the problem has diminished significantly, as the misspelled text is corrected, or at least underlined, in the edit window.
Ideally, the redirect from a misspelling code could change the text in the edit window, rather than just add another colour, but that requires a much higher level of interactive window than we have at present.
As a different thought, maybe a bot could check the "what links here" connections on the pages that are redirects from misspellings? There shouldn't be any such incoming links, so it could then go to the relevant pages and correct the spellings. I'm not a techie, but to my simple mind that sounds easy - although, for all I know, there may be such a bot already.
Such a bot would need some sort of fail-safe, to stop a vandal altering a real page to a false misspelling page, as the bot would then alter all the correctly spelled links, to incorrectly spelled ones.
Any thoughts? Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 15:17, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Unless you are a native of Manipur, which you clearly are not, please do not delete the edits added by me or anyone. There are more than 34 STs, 7 SCs, OBCs and General communities belonging to various Sino-Burmese groups. The aim of the edits was to bring out the intricacy and societal complexes of the various communities living in Manipur. And Manipur being a northeastern state isn't highly penetrated by internet and technology. The few good people who are taking up the initiative of trying to make the world know more about Manipur should not be obstructed by someone like you due to petty reasons. Also, mainland people are not indigenous to the state and that is the truth. If you ever get the chance, then come verify those sources from the people itself in places like Imphal, Tousem, Chakpikarong, Lamka, Pherzawl, Kangpokpi, Mao, Moreh and others. References/Sources are always added afterwards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Champhai (talkcontribs) 14:17, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Champhai:-
Wikipedia is not interested in who you are, where you are from, or what you "know".
Equally, Wikipedia is not interested in who I am, where I am from, nor even what I don't "know".
Wikipedia is only interested in what has already been published in reliable sources, which need to be cited in order to support information added to our pages.
Specifically, with respect to your additions at Manipur, you added a vast number of unsourced claims, together with the names of several people without articles, who cannot be included as per the rule is at WP:Settlement - "Include ONLY people with a Wikipedia article".
If the information cannot be sourced, it must not be added, and sources should be added at the same time as the information, by the person adding the information - as per WP:BURDEN. - Arjayay (talk) 14:29, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Battle of Haldighati

Hello I am Prashant some time before I made a change in Wikipedia article "Battle of haldighati" but you removed the change my change is that the battle result is indecisive. I also read your citation but I read no information about battle result is deceive.when rana pratap was not killed and both side have casualties then how is the battle result is deceive. Tell me — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prashant Srivastav (talkcontribs) 01:33, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Prashant Srivastav - Thanks for your posts, but I deleted your other post as it was identical
As explained at Talk:Battle of Haldighati#Outcome of the war, there are multiple sources about the battle giving one PoV, so these are not reliable sources. At the bottom of that section you will find a list of reliable sources upon which the decision was made. If you wish to discuss this further please do so at Talk:Battle of Haldighati, where others can also discuss this. However, you need to understand that we base our content on books by eminent historians, issued by publishers with a history of fact-checking, not blogs, self-written articles, or ethnicity promotion sites.

Hello IP from Princeton NJ - I see your attempts to vandalize my user page were blocked by the abuse filter. Please don't try that again.
With respect to Martin Guptill you appear to have finally worked out what you were doing wrong, when I reverted you with an edit summary of "Unsourced PoV" as here there was no point in just re-adding the same unsourced claim. - Arjayay (talk) 16:55, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Heads up - notable people

Just a quick heads up. On the 20th you made this edit and removed entries from the "notable people" list. Now I don't disagree with your edit, but I just want to point out that the policy you pointed to doesn't apply to Ireland related articles. Only UK, US, Canada, India and Philippines. They still failed WP:NLIST and were unreferenced, so as I say I don't disagree with the edit. Just the reasoning. Canterbury Tail talk 21:40, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Canterbury Tail thanks for your message.
You appear to be interpreting Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Settlements: Article structure rather differently to me:-
This reference is a supplement to specific guidelines on writing about U.K. cities and towns, U.S. cities, Canadian cities, Philippine cities and municipalities, and Indian cities. It does not replace those, but amalgamates the information in order to serve as advice for writing about settlements not in those geographic regions. (my bold)
I, therefore, understand the general points in Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Settlements: Article structure to be applicable globally, as the intro specifically expands the remit to include "settlements not in those geographic regions".
I note that there has never been any discussion about the remit on the talk page, although that page is over 8 years old.
If you think my understanding is incorrect, could you please explain what "settlements not in those geographic regions" refers to? Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 08:22, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
Huh. Yeah I think you’re right. I’ve had people tell me it only applies to those regions in the past, especially on Australian articles that have said it doesn’t apply, but yes I think your interpretation is actually correct. Canterbury Tail talk 10:59, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Max Ehrich’s birth year

Hi I’m just curious where you got the factual information that Max Ehrich was born in 1995 not 1991? Every source on the internet except for Wikipedia has his birth year as 1991. Do you care to explain why you think he was born in 1995? Dkingz (talk) 19:14, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dkingz
The IP from Ambler, PA was changing birth dates without providing a source - this is a very common sort of vandalism, and contravenes WP:BURDEN "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material". I see that Max Ehrich's DoB has been changed again, but still does not have a source, so I have tagged it citation needed - if you have a reliable source for his DoB then please add it - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 08:31, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

You added an unsourced claim, so I deleted at as unsourced. I see that you have since re-added it, so I have deleted it again and issued you a warning.
Please do not make unsourced additions or chnages to our articles - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 09:40, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Arjayay! Thanks for the info. But before that, previously you yourself edited the same content, which i did now. That was a valid fact, please look at it once. Have a look on your previous edits. Lokchaitanya pujari (talk) 22:41, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Lokchaitanya pujari, thanks for your reply
I agree that, in the past, I have reverted to that phrase, when people have replaced it by unsourced claims, usually about Kalinga Raja, as here
However, in this edit the phrase was deleted without adding a different claim, but claiming that it was wrong, which made me look at the sourcing more closely.
I only have access to extracts of the reference cited after that claim, via Google, but I can search for words and phrases, and "Temple priests" does not appear in that reference at all. Therefore, as that is the only reference, the claim is unsourced.
As stated at WP:Burden "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material", so, as I now know the reference does not cover temple priests, it is up to whoever re-adds it to provide a reference. - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 09:28, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Arjayay! Thanks for replying. I agree with you that without any source, you can’t accept to edit the matter. But my question is “Does google have everything?” How can u confirm or deny a fact just by taking source of proof as google?? Another thing was, the name of the caste was ‘kalinga’, not kalingi. The central government of India and state government of andhra pradesh, both are stating the name of the caste as ‘kalinga’ only. Then what was the reason behind changing it to ‘kalingi’. ‘Kalingi’, ‘kaalinga’ were the other names which were commonly used by the locals of that area, that’s it. The actual name is ‘kalinga’. I hope you change the name by taking your google as the source in which central government list of castes were stated.

Reverted the Change You Made to the Lisa Sanders Page

I reverted the change that you made to the Lisa Sanders page. Yes, the duplicate word is grammatically incorrect. But, if you follow the citation link, you will discover that the duplicate word is in the original that is being quoted. So, deleting the the duplicate word constitutes misquoting the original.

Thanks Shortsword
FYI Wikipedia:Quotations#Formatting allows editors to make such corrections "Exceptions are trivial spelling or typographical errors that obviously do not affect the intended meaning; these may be silently corrected."
So, do we "silently" correct the "was was"? or "silently" remove the "of" which would then make sense of the "was was" (although that then should have a comma), or (my preference) do we add [sic]? - Arjayay (talk) 11:06, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Yeah. I thought of that, but saw your 4th revert in one of the article histories. Once I got warned myself for reporting a POV pusher in a similar situation. They thought I was gaming the system, since my 4th revert was 2 hr outside the 24 hr span, although I was correct in assuming the other user's edit as vandalism which is exempt from 3RR. One of the reverts by that user in a similar commonname issue. The change back to the stable version took almost a month since the admins asked me to dicuss the issue with the other user who most likely was using that account for this type of vandalism. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:28, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi MichaelMaggs - no I don't use a tool, just Wikipedia searches for whatever duplicate word I feel like searching for.
Many of my searches are based on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/Repetitions, so it would avoid duplication of our efforts if you avoided these.
If I find another word duplicated in the same article (provided that I remember recently changing that article) I will sometimes copy the text into Word and look for the squiggles, as some editors seem to have a habit of duplicating words. - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 16:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Help me please

Dear Arjayay, I made a draft on a subject mentioned in the reliable media as "noted philosopher". His books have been commented on and referenced by Jean-Luc Nancy, Bernard Stiegler, Robert Bernasconi and many others. There are exclusive articles on him in reliable sources including journals. There is a biographical essay too. Artists too have made works inspired by him. Will you please have a look and help to improve it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Shaj_MohanWWorringer (talk) 19:18, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi WWorringer - Sorry I took so long to respond. I don't know why you picked on me, as I am no expert on philosophers, although Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one of my favourite novels.
I see your article has already been accepted - congratulations.
If you want a suggestion for further improvement, IMHO you should reduce/remove the redlinks in the infobox - as currently it tells the reader that he has 6 notable ideas, but 5 of these the reader can't read more about, as we don't have an article on them, which could frustrate the reader - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 12:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Dear wikipedian I am really glad to know you and contribution so far you did on this site, Sir Agamudayar page is to know about the caste or clan but the image does not means the caste it's about the Tamil cultivators which is not related to page the image is on cultivators not the clan or caste of the Agamudayar if images should be used then there are lot of leaders, politicians, and rulers that can be added in the page but still that doesn't mean anything on the subject.

RBolton123 (talk) 10:14, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

@RBolton123:You are right sir, but Wikipedia should improve its policy because now a days anything can be published in news with the help of bribe.

why you think it is paid promotional because nobody going to pay me to edit the article.

Can you revert back to my changes? Otherwise, my hard work will be wasted. you can help me how we can edit the article.

I am going to ask your help in creating consistency across some articles. The Navy has Naval Mobile Construction Battalions and Amphibious CBs. Four of the battalions have article titles that use the Arabic number: 5, 11, 25 and 133. Five use the written number: One, Two, Three, and Four. Could you change them all to use the Arabic number and create a redirect for the written form. Thank you

Help with editing

Hi, I see you made some edits on list that I have recently been adding to. Do you think that you could help me with adding some entries to those lists? I could really use some help as there is a lot of entries that need adding. Davidgoodheart (talk) 21:29, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Davidgoodheart - Thanks for your post
I'm not sure which lists you had in mind - if the subject interests me I might be tempted, albeit that my editing time is fairly full
As a WikiGnome, I spend far more time deleting non-notable additions from lists, rather than adding to them, but without such pruning, lists become worthless.
