There's no consensus for removing the plot summary. If you don't want to read it, don't read the article. The book has already been released in the UK and the Eastern United States.--Chaser - T 04:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree, but wikipedia has a policy on posting spoilers of recent movies and books, doesn't that apply here. I know the book has been released, I have it, but what about copyright infringement.Cave Johnson 04:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has a policy on posting spoilers of recent movies and books. Which policy are you referencing? WP:SPOILER is about spoiler warnings. Plot summaries don't violate copyright. Posting lots of text verbatim violates copyright. Shorts quotes are fair use. I hope that clarifies. You can post further replies here.--Chaser - T 04:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * With regards to the consensus, I think it makes more sense to leave out the spoiler until a consensus is reached to post it. At least put the spoiler warning back.Cave Johnson 04:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't care about the spoiler warning (though other editors on the page are reverting it back and forth). The inclusion of the plot has a strong talk page consensus. The idea was always to post the plot upon release of the books.--Chaser - T 04:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Somehow it just doesnt feel right to have a spoiler that detailed and long a few hours after the book release.Cave Johnson 04:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I suspect many people read the copy leaked onto the internet. That was kept off the article the last few days as unverifiable, but now anyone can buy the book and check the plot summary for accuracy. A lot of that is happening in these first few hours after release. As to it not feeling right, there's nothing I can do for you there.--Chaser - T 04:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

The sources on the article all indicate that the current spelling is correct. However, if you are able to find sources that prove otherwise, please add them and fix it. At this point, the spelling should stay the same as there are sources supporting the current spelling. Netalarm  happy holidays!  07:06, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

I am a native of Maharashtra, speak Marathi, write Marathi, have done so for t he past 25 years. Having studied Maratha history in the native language I know what the name is supposed to be pronounced as. The current version is the Anglicized pronunciation of the name which the Indian historians did not bother to change. A case of the west butchering ethnic names, to allow it to continue like this is offensive to Marathi people.
 * I understand that you may believe the spelling is incorrect, but all sources indicate that this is the correct spelling. If you are able to find reliable sources that prove your point, please say so. We can't just go ahead and change the spelling and not have any sources to support it.

Murdeshwar
Respected Sir, I saw on Wikipedia Murudeshwara page that you had earlier participated in editing my hometown Murdeshwar. I request you to revisit the page and provide your expert comments about my new posting on the talk page of Murdeshwar. I am new to Wikipedia and do not know how to contact members for getting help. It is my earnest request to all experienced members of Wikipedia to help me in getting back the correct spelling of my home town. In my humble opinion, a mistake made by the first author should not be allowed to carry forward. Please take some time out of your busy schedule and help us.

Hello, I'm Yamla. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Maitland Ward, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 12:04, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

You accidentally deleted pictures
Hi. When you change words in picture file's hard-coded FILE name, and put BCE in there, the picture is then deleted from view. Hindbærbrus (talk) 14:20, 14 April 2023 (UTC)


 * @Hindbærbrus my apologies. how can I fix this? Cave Johnson (talk) 14:23, 14 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It's alright, I fixed it. I put the pictures back. I just thought I'd mention what happened, so you don't accidentally delete pics in other articles. 👍 Hindbærbrus (talk) 14:35, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Hindbærbrus Thanks so much 🙏 Cave Johnson (talk) 15:06, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
