I don't see how the information I added in Narasimhan Ravikiran's page is not properly cited. It is a published article that clears him of the sexual harassment allegations. Why is this being removed repeatedly and why are we not allowed to update with the most recent information? Looks like this person's page has been targeted by vandals with some underlying motive. 47.35.190.5 (talk) 00:33, 14 April 2019 (UTC) vansur

Please take a look at Neil DeGrasse Tyson's page :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_deGrasse_Tyson

It cites the latest source that clears him of all the allegations. Vansur (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2019 (UTC) vansur

: Hi {{reply to|Vansur}} the reasoning behind my decision was that in [{{fullurl:Article:N._Ravikiran|diff=prev&oldid=892346003}} your edit], you removed a large amount of referenced material and a reference. The content removal didn't appear to be constructive, and you didn't give a valid reason for it in the edit summary. This wasn't necessarily about the added information, but rather the large amount of information you removed without explanation. Aranya^talk 01:35, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on :Keren Bergman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Keren+Bergman|deleting administrator}}.

If you mean to make drafts, you should do so in userspace or through the article wizard.

Hi there, Aranya, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created a few biographies, including a couple about women. If you are interested in covering women from under-represented countries, you might find it useful to look through our redlists, particularly the section headed geography.

Hi Team,

I have found that a page created by me regarding Dr Hema Sane is subjected to speedy deletion. I tried to create a page which is already published in Marathi language (please refer to https://mr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/हेमा_साने).

It's about a great personality who is an academician, Nature lover, Author of various international papers in botany. Most special part about her is she has been living without using electricity for the last 60 years(Please refer to the news articles in deleted page). World have to learn a lot from her.

With huge respect, I tried to create a page on such a wonder woman.But I felt very sad to know that it got deleted. In my view she deserves recognition and a wikipedia page.

Wikipedia has many pages about celebrities, but having a page about a silent revolution like her can change many hearts.

With all due respect, I request you to restore the page.

(Also please suggest if I need to make any changes in the article)

Thanks

:Hi Leelaamayi, and thanks for leaving me a message here. The page you created was deleted under A7 of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria, which means it was deleted because the content of the article did not credibly indicate the importance of the individual.

:A good idea at this point could be to start a new draft for Dr. Hema Sane's page through the article wizard, where you can submit the draft and other users can review and suggest improvements to the draft, so that it is not later marked for deletion. I would also be very happy to help edit the draft or suggest any changes.

{{{icon|File:Stop hand nuvola.svg}}} Your recent editing history {{safesubst:#if:{{{1|}}}|at :{{{1}}}|}} shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.{{safesubst:#if:{{{2|}}}|{{Break}}{{{2}}}|}} — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.255.6.82 (talk • contribs) 15:38, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

I understand that redlinks can are helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

I reverted your edit because of a lot of the changes you made to the formatting and style of the article, as well as the external links that make up a good portion of the content added (which should not normally be used in the body of an article), don't mesh well with WP:MOS. It looks like some of the external links you added could be used as good sources for some of the statements, so try to add them back in the form of references.

Hi - just to let you know, I don't think there was anything wrong per se with your warning - you were following protocol with a level 2 warning for two vandalistic edits. However, since I'm pretty confident that this is the same person as added the material previously (very similar IPs), and it was overtly racist, I am confident that a reviewing sysop would agree that a 4im was warranted.

Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community "to" articulate..... further irrelevant.

this right clearly says "freedom OF speech", not "freedom TO articulate".

this page is a load of lies, and you just literally removed the only truth that page has ever seen.

to be "FREE OF SOMETHING", does not mean YOU GET TO DO THAT THING, it is the EXACT OPPOSITE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.104.104.33 (talk) 16:13, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi- the source for my edit is the same as the source for the original text. Both articles were updated and currently include the information I added. (To be honest I think that whole little section could be removed. The claim that wages would be lowered was all a misunderstanding and was never actually a plan. Some people got mad before they had all the info, so making it part of the "permanent record", so to speak, seems silly. But I'm a noob at editing, so I'll leave that for someone else to decide.)

It should also be noted that she was the first to have founded 2004: The Hartford Guardian.

The television news outlets do not have citations of work history. The best way to verify whether she worked for CT News12, NBC4 New York and FOX News is to call the stations HR department and verify the work history.

She is also a historian. She is the first, in 2010, to publish work based on serious scholarship on the social history that covers the entire arc of blacks in Connecticut from the colonial period to the twentieth century. She is also the first Hartford-based scholar to cover the full arc of black education in Connecticut, which focuses on Sheff v.

Image:Wikipedia Rollbacker.svg

Hi Aranya. After reviewing your request for "{{mono|rollbacker}}", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AAranya enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:26, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Kia ora

The change that you mentioned; the source is from the same place as the citation for the rest of the original sentence, just later on in the article.

This is the original citation page:

https://nzhistory.govt.nz/war/maori-units-nzef

and this is my source, later on in the same article:

https://nzhistory.govt.nz/war/maori-in-first-world-war/pioneer-battalion

I didn't put the source because it was the same article, I thought the same citation would suffice. But if you want to include it, all good.

The edits to Jim Goad regarding his French heritage and current living situation are of complete accuracy and are not warranting of removal. Please understand and adhere to this matter of fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.71.249.215 (talk) 00:35, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

• Hi, I have posted a request on talk page of Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil to add some information.

I am new to wikipedia and don't know how to add informations. I tried very hard to add these information in the article but it lead to disruption of article. Would you help in adding those informations in the article? For more details visit to Talk:Shamsheer Vayalil.

Thank you. (223.230.161.1 (talk) 11:49, 19 August 2019 (UTC))

:Hi 223.230.161.1, I will see what I can do with the article. Cheers! —Aranya (talk) 03:50, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

• By the way I had provided reliable sources as links for those information which I asked you to add in the article. So you will find no problem.

Thanks.:-) (223.230.131.235 (talk) 15:58, 20 August 2019 (UTC))

• If you not comfortable in adding those informations you can let me know. I will never mind.

:Sounds good! Thank you for letting me know. {{Smiley}} —Aranya (talk) 18:15, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

• Can you recommend about any user who can add those information? I hope you must be knowing of an user who is more experienced than you in editing wikipedia.{{smiley}}

Thank you. (223.230.151.105 (talk) 03:50, 23 August 2019 (UTC))

:I am honestly not sure I can recommend any specific users, since there are so many great editors on Wikipedia, including the editors who already made improvements to the article on :Shamsheer Vayalil. Best wishes and happy editing. —Aranya (talk) 14:35, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

My edit is not vandalism. Putting her birth name which is considered a deadname on her page is triggering for trans people and disrespectful to her memory. Please stop reverting the changes to the birth name. She is known as and famous for being Venus. That was her name. Respect that and her lived experience. Legaleagle2025 (talk) 13:58, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

:Hi Legaleagle2025, thank you for writing to me on my talk page. I want to clarify that I personally did not find your edit to be vandalism. I made only one revert to the article, when I reverted {{Diff2|912294923|one change}} where an entire sentence was added into the 'birth_name' parameter of the infobox. I found this change to be added in good faith, but not necessarily in line with the policy of neutral point of view used within Wikipedia articles. That is the only reasoning behind where {{Diff2|912295000|this talk page warning}} came from. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, and happy editing! :-) —Aranya (talk) 14:54, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I'm just wondering how old are you and what is your role on wikipedia? Are you an editor for wikipedia? In other words, do you work for the website or are you just a user of the website? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unknown101-cherryst.lane (talk • contribs) 06:22, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Aranya, thank you for the review and your comments. The contribution that I have made to my article cannot be termed as CoI since all the data is readily available in the reference, I have just collected them and added them in a proper format. Let me know what needs to be removed or deleted, I will make the said changes. Awaiting your response.

Manas.chafekar (talk) 01:58, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

:Hello Manas.chafekar! Thank you for writing to me on my talk page. I would mainly confirm that the article's subject is proven to be notable according to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability, and that the article contains content that cites reliable sources and is written from a neutral point of view, since the subject is a living person.

:I see that you have submitted the article as an Article for Creation (AfC). Someone active at AfC will likely review your article, and accept or decline it. They will provide reasoning behind their decision, and also possibly suggest improvements that can be made to the article. Please let me know if you have any more questions! —Aranya (talk) 14:33, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello Aranya, thank you for the comments. I understand that you have checked the notability and references of the article, and everything seems ok. My question is related to the CoI comment you posted. Should I be making any changes to the template / content to rectify it? As suggested earlier, the data in the article is picked from references over net and shaped into a wiki article.

Manas.chafekar (talk) 19:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

:In regards to the {{Diff2|913358921|comment I posted on your user talk page}}, that would only warrant that you disclose any conflicts of interest with topics you work with on Wikipedia on your userpage. You can follow the brief tutorial on the Wikipedia:DISCLOSE page, if there might be any conflicts that you would like to disclose. —Aranya (talk) 20:57, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

::Hello Aranya, thank you for the inputs. I would like to disclose that the article is for family member, though the creation process is purely based on reference articles only. I could not find the template that i can use to insert this disclosure into the article. Can you help me with it?Manas.chafekar (talk) 00:02, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

:::Sure! Go ahead and create your user page by clicking on User:Manas.chafekar, and typing (or pasting) the text contained within the following gray-colored box: {{UserboxCOI|1=Suryakant Chintaman Chafekar}}. Then, click the "Publish page" button, and you are finished. Please let me know if this works, or if you would like me to create the user page. —Aranya (talk) 00:18, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

::::Thank you for the inputs . I have added the userbox in the article and published it. This declaration will remain even after the article is review and approved? Does the CoI pose a threat of rejection to this article? Like I have mentioned earlier, the article is based on reference and not on any other reasons like family ties, etc. Plus you have verified that the subject is proven notable. I am not sure after this CoI declaration if it will impact the approval of this wiki page? - Manas.chafekar (talk) 01:30, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

:::::Excellent! I have actually moved the userbox to your user page located at User:Manas.chafekar, since you do not have to put it in the article itself. Unfortunately, the approval of the article is not my hands, but rather in someone working in the Articles for Creation team, so I do not know how it may affect their decision. For improving your article submission, please feel free to request assistance at the AfC helpdesk, or possibly ask questions at the Teahouse question forum. Thank you for your cooperation, and I wish you the best. {{smiley}} —Aranya (talk) 01:39, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Aranya,

thanks for your help on the loudgain draft (categories). I’m totally new to Wikipedia editing and might make a zillion mistakes. Did you actually change it for me? Looks like …

I also declared a COI because the wizard told me so: As the developer I’m of course "near" the project, but I gain absolutely no financial benefits from programming it or editing here, hope I did that right. Then again, only the developer can talk best about the inner workings, I thought. And loudgain is a free and open source project anyway.

Hope I wrote neutral enough and didn’t do too much wrong.

Moonbase59 (talk) 14:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

:Hi Moonbase59! Looking at the draft, I think you are right that the issue has been fixed. Also, on a side note, I would suggest that you improve your draft by proving the subject's notability with reliable sources. That way, when other editors review your draft, they can see how the subject warrants its own article on Wikipedia. Feel free to let me know if you have anymore questions or concerns! —Aranya (talk) 19:40, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

I do not remember doing any weird change to the article, it must have been my brother, but I am very sorry, it wont happen again.

Greetings, I am a new Wikipedian and I need your help.

Can you review this: Draft:Rohingya Language Academy and check is there anything you can add or need to remove.. if you have enough information about that you can also add and remove.

If you think the article is suitable for review.. please let me know.

:Hello ArakaneseRohingya! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I would suggest to add more content that cites reliable sources.

I have no idea why the redirect keeps being deleted, this was a one off show, 10 years ago, for the presenter on a Z list celebrity gossip show, and most people would not remember it. I think there needs to be a discussion on whether this should be a separate article or not. 86.47.45.146 (talk) 17:43, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

:Hi 86.47.45.146! Please feel free to start the discussion at the article's talk page, so that you can seek consensus with other editors before changing the article into a redirect. Please don't try to institute the change before obtaining consensus, since there seems to be other editors that don't agree with it (and your edits may be seen as disruptive). Best wishes. —Aranya (talk) 17:50, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Why was that?

Sayujsmenon (talk) 16:29, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

:The editor who nominated the draft for speedy deletion left a message explaining their decision on your talk page (added in {{Diff2|919217995|this edit}}).

Hi Aranya!

Thank you for the helping out with the page. I'm really new to this whole Wikipedia thing, but I declared my conflict of interest because Wikipedia told me to. I am connected to Shameless Podcast as I know the hosts personally, but I am not being paid to create the page. I just thought I'd create the page because of its popularity, and edit accordingly. All my words have been adequately backed up by strong references and I tried to speak using neutral language - could you please direct me to how I can improve/how I go about getting rid of the COI tag? Thank you so much :) Shamelessannabellelee (talk) 08:04, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

:{{u|Shamelessannabellelee}}, you can (and do) have a conflict of interest without necessarily being paid. Cabayi (talk) 10:35, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

:Shamelessannabellelee, you still may have a conflict of interest despite not being paid, as Cabayi iterated above. It seems the conflict of interest has been correctly disclosed on your user page and on the article. I would strongly recommend that you not edit with an intention to promote, especially when considering a subject you have a conflict of interest with, which has been clear in edits like {{diff2|919041078|this}} or {{diff2|919038610|this one}}.—Aranya (talk) 11:53, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I made a correction to the page on okra. the change I made reflects the accurate representation of the cited sources, which are misquoted in thecurrent text. However, because I did not change the citations (as they are not needed, I am correcting an incorrect citation, not the source itself) for some reason Wikipedia rejected the edit.
