HDFC RED Speedy Deletion Contest
This project deserves to be on Wikipedia as it meets the norm i.e. notability (the HDFC brand is important to people and real estate is a very important aspect of the people of India. Therefore this is information should be available to the people). It also is written with keeping a neutral point of view (the article does not promote any content about the brand but just provides details about the brand which might actually be helpful to people who are looking for help in this sector)in mind and the content added is verifiable (the content mentioned on the page has been verified from national press).

Please note that the website has unique features that make it more useful for users like me.

Any instances of promotion can be notified of but the article as a whole deserves to be present on Wikipedia.

Concern about International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh) article
Dear Shines, would you please check the article International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh)? Here two active editors are trying to bias the article. They fill up more than half of the introduction with tribunal justice's email and skype conversation hacking. It is not very important incident in the whole trial process. But they are tiring to impose a negative impression to this article. Their main objective is using this article for anti tribunal propaganda. I told them to enlist all the criticism under the topics criticism, but they don't do that. They put every criticism in the introduction. Would you please help me to teach wiki terms and conditions to neutralize this type of biased article?--Freemesm (talk) 11:59, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Persistent vandalism
Hello,

There is a persistent vandal trying to delete a specific segment in Iranian Space Agency article. I went over the history, and it appears he/she has been trying to push his POV for the past 2 years at least, deleting sources. The user with name variation of Scythian77/The Scythian/Rahba, etc? has also had arguments with other editors on article talk page and else where, but still persists in his deletion. Please see this for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_125#Space.com_claim_that_Iran_plans_moon_program

I would be very obliged if you could solve this problem and stop this user's annoying and long term negative behavior. Thank you. --99.254.188.169 (talk) 18:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Pilsudski
You reverted my edits with about a dozen source references on Polish dictator Pilsudski, motivating your reverts (among other things) by insisting that the source citations should include only a small amount of the source text.

Note that most of about a dozen references in question include a quote of a single sentence (or less) of the referenced text. There is no way to include a smaller amount of text in a meaningful way on Wikipedia. Including a single sentence or less into a citation is a common Wikipedia practice (see other references/citations in the article on Pilsudski and other articles).

Note also that the text included into the citations in question is quoted from Google Books and the reference to Google Books is provided. The fact that the quoted text is already present online on Google Books should alleviate any copyright concerns.

Please do not remove the whole edit. If you see anything wrong with a certain reference or citation, please (a) preferably indicate it on the Talk page of the article and the reference/citation will be adjusted; or (b) alternatively, please remove only the reference/citation that you see wrong and let us know.

Removal of the whole edited section from the article based on the claim of improperly formatted references may constitute vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.124.204.194 (talk) 14:58, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi 208.124.204.194, I am sympathetic to your edits at Józef Piłsudski‎. However, keep in mind that adding 11000 bits of information in a single edit is very unusual.  If the fellow was verifiably a dictator this article should state so.  However, getting involved in an edit war undermines your credibility and risks a block.  How about adding the information in smaller increments?  Tkuvho (talk) 15:04, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh)
Apparently patience isn't one of your virtues, DS. I'll give you a short time to restore the article to before your rewrite, the implementation of which launched a new edit-war on the article. If you don't, I will block you. Not a good way to start the new year. This is your only warning.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * You've been spared a choice between restoration and a block as Aminul802 restored the article. The article is now locked to afford editors an opportunity to continue the discussion about the content that was started earlier (by you, to your credit).--Bbb23 (talk) 16:06, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion required for Mohammed Nizamul Huq's article
This article is full of blame instead of having useful information. Would you please tell me, what to do?--Freemesm (talk) 08:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have stubbed it as it was essentially a hit piece. I am going to post on the WP:BLPN board to gain further input as I fully expect to be reverted. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:35, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I disagree
It was not a valid comment as it is related to the ip's own editing activities at India and weapons of mass destruction and Talk:India and weapons of mass destruction, where it is being discussed and a solution is being worked on. That comment was removed by me as it had absolutely nothing to do with Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction and hence did not belong in its talk page. You could have checked with me before reverting my edit. Anyways, --Anir1uph | talk | contrib 16:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It was an entirely valid comment, and if you are already in dispute with that IP you most certainly should not be removing his comments at all. You most certainly know this already, so why do it? All you will accomplish is an escalation of hostility. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * And a quickj look at your contributions shows you reverted the IP hereMy revert of you as it is unsourced. Please be more careful in future as removing unsourced content is entirely within policy. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I am in no dispute with any editor. That comment was not a valid comment and was not required at that place. As for your second revert, i am going to revert your edit to that page. Perhaps you should have considered that i am working on that page, and will add more inline citations in future. Perhaps you can improve the encyclopedia by finding and adding citations instead of inhibiting my work. Thanks! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 17:12, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Do not be a dick OK. Your wrote above you have a content dispute with the IP. You reverted the valid removal of unsourced content based on you working on the article. get real. RV me, you will be reverted per policy. You will of course be more than welcome to restore the content once you have sources. Till then, do not. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:18, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * There was no content dispute. I never said i was in one! I was mediating on an issue on which the ip editor seems to have gotten stuck. Hence i went through his other edits, and removed one of his pleas on another article's talk page,, as they did not serve any single purpose there, and that is not how the talk page is supposed to be used. You reverted it, and that is fine with me. But then you went through my contributions, and instead of seeing that i have a long history of contributing to the article in which you reverted, you went ahead and did what you want. Fine with me.
 * Just saw your failed RfA. And they are right, you have practically no experience on the article space. Perhaps that is the reason for your behavior. I hope you start spending more time in actually editing and improving articles, than spending a majority of your time in other endeavors. I am saying this cz when i went to see what kind of editor you are by going through your edits and trying to find article contributions, i found them to be pretty invisible. :P
 * I guess that is why i needed a long break from here - cz of dicks like you, who will cite rules and policies but do little actual work, and also not let others do theirs. Anyways... --Anir1uph | talk | contrib 17:37, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Erm, look again, as you made the same mistake as the last guy. My edits to mainspace are a case of quality. Quantity is not the issue. I tend to write stuff in userspace or on my desktop, so I get one edit for something which took weeks to write. I have various DYK and one GA all written by me, and am now trying for a FA, with an article written by me. Sorry you think I'm a dick for abiding by policy, but we all have to. Happy editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Unlike you, i do take weeks to write stuff. As i did just now, incrementally improving the Para commando article which i was trying to work on. Found a ref, and added it. Changed the language. As it has been my experience, usually, if something is already existing on Wikipedia, it must have come from somewhere - some editor saw some website, and added that stuff on Wikipedia, and as usual, did not add any reference or citation. And that is what i just did there - find that website and cite it in the article. Please don't be in a hurry, as there are still tiles to be correctly added in the Wikipedia icon - they are not all in place! --Anir1uph | talk | contrib 18:09, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I have been real nice and polite with you, which as you no doubt know is not what I am usually like. Look at me subpages, this for instance. Where do you think all that appeared from? Now fuck off like a good lad and do not piss me off further. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:13, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh did i hurt your feelings? You didn't do anyone, specially me, a favor, by being nice or polite. Last i checked, that is expected here on Wikipedia. If you do not want to be poked, kindly ask an editor the reason for his actions first, rather than the 'shoot and talk later' attitude you displayed to me today. Thanks for nothing! --Anir1uph | talk | contrib 18:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * No you did not hurt my feelings, all you have done is piss me off, hence my saying "fuck off" now which part of fuck off do you not quite understand? I am as you know quite open, however I will not have someone come here bitching like a little girl because I acted within policy. Call me what you want, complain if I fucked up, but do not come here whining because you broke policy and I said you have to follow it. What you should have said from the get go was "you cunt, your right but I still think your a tosser" That or similar I would be fine with, not "I broke policy so your a dick" That is bullshit. So again. fuck off, do not post here unless you either follow policy, or accept policy and just want to vent. Cheers. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:29, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * But this is exactly what i am sure you have not gotten through your thick skull - that i was working on and going through an article, and you reverted my changes midway. I finally correctly reverted them. You were not acting withing policy - you were acting like a dick. Still, if you act like a kid and level false accusations at me, in a discussion that i have initiated on your talk page, then i have every right to correct you. It is, of course, your choice to ignore intelligence, and carry on with your behavior. If you don't want me to correct you, then don't reply, or don't lie, or simply remove this discussion from your talk page!
 * You had not touched that article for two months, your sources are shite, read WP:SPS and look at the articles talk page you fuckwit. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I had not touched in fact any article for a long time, as i was on a break. I am coming out of it, dumb guy! Has any wikipedia inquiry labeled Bharat Rakshak as an SPS? Last i checked, 3 requests to label it as an SPS had been declined. So kindly link me to the place where it was labelled an SPS. I will wait for the link. Thanks! Anir1uph | talk | contrib 18:55, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Read the about of the site you linked to. It is naught more that a fan site. Have you even looked at the fucking talk page? I gave a book source from fucking lancer which should cover most of the shitty fucking article. Your fucking welcome. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * So, you don't have a link to a discussion that labels Bharat Rakshak as SPS. The arguments at the last SPS submission were refuted by the crat by observing that the site has an established editorial board, and is composed of retired three star officers of the indian armed forces. Requests to label it an SPS have been declined multiple times. You cannot unilaterally decide anything. Either get it labelled SPS or fuck off. I am going ahead and use it, along with the book reference. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 19:08, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Not for 24hrs you won't. You are already on 3RR, I know you are not a fan of policy but perhaps you should follow that on. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:11, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure. Will see you then. Anir1uph | talk | contrib 19:16, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Rape data
Thanks for sharing the policy link. Was useful.

Think the UN data put there is well covered under the mentioned criteria: "A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the source but without further, specialized knowledge"

No specialized knowledge needed to compare numbers; there is no interpretive or analytic claim in the edit.

The data itself is part of a wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#UN_Rape_Statistics. If the concern is addressed by referring to the wiki article instead of the UN link, thats doable too.

The important point is to highlight inter-country data to form a perspective Mave12 (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * So long as you use of for nothing else then that is fine. Do no add any commentry at all to the edit. Cheers. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:55, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Are you agreeing with the edit? If yes, perhaps you roll back your revert yourself?Mave12 (talk) 18:30, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Please feel free to revert me, I will double check it later. Happy editing and welcome. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:34, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I think we can simply state the statistic without the inferences. For example, we can state that during  in India the rate of rape remained   per   population. Whereas the rate was   and   for the three years respectively for united kingdom,   in USA and in Australia it was   and   respectively. I mean, there has got to be some way to convey this information it is important to put the Indian scenario into perspective.  Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 06:36, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

your clean up of Kashmir Conflict
I understand you are cleaning up the article. I am assuming good faith. But I would request, instead of 20 different edits, please make chunk-size edits (not too many, and not a big bang also). Right now you already have 5 edits (and thus 5 versions) for not even half of the section. It makes it difficult for others to verify your edits or make necessary changes if needed.Killbillsbrowser (talk) 21:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I am doing small edits as it is easier to compare versions, and check to see if my edit was correct. They all are, but feel free to double check. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:26, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * if you make 5 edits and i want to correct just the first one, I feel a little hesitant clicking that edit button, thinking I may ruin other intermediate edits as well :). Hence the request. About the edits being correct, anytime we make edits, don't we all always think they are correct, until someone else thinks otherwise? Won't you agree? :). BTW, haven't found any incorrect edits till now. Will keep looking Killbillsbrowser (talk) 21:34, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, DS should I carry out the proposed changes without getting hindered by the baseless objections seeing as how the objections are somewhat hollow and will probably going to stretch relentlessly forever? Should I succumb to the filibustering of KBB? Just how long should I have to wait before carrying out the proposed changes in order to avoid getting ruthlessly vilified by KBB, Mehrajmir, etc? Thank you for all that you are doing. BTW, this was a nice call. And I personally would like to applaud you for that. I will be more careful. FYI, there are other "non-HRVs" in that very article too.

Please Mr Darkness Shines, make your changes to the Kashmir page. I wanted to read about the foundation of the conflict, and what both sides claim are the reasons for it's escalation (I'm from High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, and we have a large Kashmiri ex-pat community, which I wanted to better understand). What with Mr T trying to deny that Pakistan has funded or supported militants in Indian Kashmir (something everyone with a brain, and an ability to follow the news, knows must be true) or KBB or Mehra trying to remove witness statements that the Indian Military have behaved terribly towards the indigenous Moslem population (something equally well known to be true). The whole story is about how 2 countries, that want to be treated as civil and 1st world, by the rest of the world, can behave completely uncivily towards each other, and protest loudly to the world that (a) they're not and (b) the other is worse. The BBC, and pretty much every news agency has criticised either/both sides at one time or another, I just want to know what the accusations are, and what the best sources are that are claiming them (and yes, I do take what the ex-president of Pakistan or any other state, seriously). I also want to know who says what to counter those arguments. So please Mr Darkness Shines, take an unbiased butchers knife to the whole article please. (sibaz (talk) 13:27, 9 January 2013 (UTC))
 * Sorry, I had not noticed this. I have copied that entire article to userspace as it will be easier to try and fix the current issues without interruption. Once I have done that I will be asking the involved editors for their opinions and hopefully we will finally have a decent article on the subject. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:11, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Why did you delete most of the text of the Ambrose Mendy article?
Hi

I noticed that most of the text of the Ambrose Mendy article has been erased. However, it's content seems to be accurate for the most part (unless other sites have it wrong too http://www.blackinbritain.com/AmbroseMendy.htm), and I wouldn't say the article reflected badly on him. Of course he did serve time in prison but to earn a few degrees while there is a triumph and an inspiration. I remember all too well the partnership of Ambrose Mendy and Nigel Benn and it's a shame that the guts of this article have been ripped out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alvshill (talk • contribs) 18:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Reversion of International System of Units
Hi Darkness Shines,

You recently undid changes that I made to the article International System of Units. On teh surface it might appear to have been the rightthing to do, but I was being hassled by what I believe to be a sockpuppet of User:DeFacto. If you followed the argument in the article concerened, you would have noticed that it centered around how the term "Commonwealth" and that the annonymous multi-IP editor was the one causing the problems. My edits were to replace that term with "Former British Empire".

I request that you revert the changes that you made. Martinvl (talk) 17:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Martinvl is clearly on a mission in the metric system related articles, and is currently the subject of 3rr and ANI reports relating to this. He has a history of gaming and POV pushing - you only need to scroll through his talkpage to see the evidence of that. This tale of woe is actually a cover for his recent extremely bad faith actions. You might also consider reverting a similar edit (note too the summary!) he made to Metric system, which is also the subject of talkpage discussion. 212.183.140.33 (talk) 17:42, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Martinvl, Defacto uses TalkTalk as his ISP. The IP is using vodaphone. You need proof for accusations of sockpuppetry. Perhaps you should finish discussing before further reverts in the spirit of BRD. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Darkness Shines,
 * Talk Talk is a fixed-line internet system, Vodaphone is a mobile system. I cannot rule out that  Father Christmas (or somebody else) recently gave him an i-Phone or some other mobile device. In any respect, this IP hopper has the same style as DeFacto and I had a guts-full of DeFacto's style. I again request that you reconsider and await the outcome of the ANI complaint. Martinvl (talk) 18:05, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again,
 * This sequence of changes is significant:
 * User:Wing gundam "There are conflicting sources on the status of Liberia and Burma. Difficult to word this" (+20 bytes)
 * User:Martinvl "Reworded to put CIA report into perspective" (+13 bytes)
 * User:212.183.128.192 Change 1 - no comment, Change 2 "that is both moot and from a non-reliable source (a usenet internet forum)". (-295 bytes: Bold change)
 * User:Martinvl (undid previous change) "Please discus on talk page" (+465 bytes: Revert plus clarification)
 * User:212.183.128.236 "Usenet is not a reliable source" (-465 bytes: Not discuss)
 * At this stage, the IP-hopping editor should not have again removed the text concerned, but should have discussed it. This is his editing style, completely contrary to BRD. I trust that this is sufficient for you to reconsider and revert your changes. Martinvl (talk) 18:32, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Those are edits to a completely different article, Metric system, and the implications you make completely misrepresent the edit history of that article, why do you say they are significant here? 212.183.128.225 (talk) 19:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Source evaluations
DS, When evaluating the weakness of a source, say in the article David Bergman (journalist)‎, you may want to look at all the sources that back up a fact. I'm not claiming that a blog is a strong source, but it is backed up by another stronger source. Also instead of blanking material, you could put a DUBIOUS template, if you think a fact is questionable, or a CITATION NEEDED template, if you think more references are needed for support. These are less extreme choices but reasonable as we try to improve the content. Looking at your past edit history, I think you might want to reevaluate whether your blanking strategy is appropriate and reasonable in so many situations. (I mean this in the most constructive sense of expression. Please don't read anything bad faith in my comments.) Best, Crtew (talk) 10:07, 15 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Your reversion was faster than my ability to write the above message :D. That was fast. I'll give you some time to look at this reference now and decide to restore it or make some more reasonable editing decisions.Crtew (talk) 10:10, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This source does not mention Sara Hossain, the only source which does is a blog. That is not usable for BLP information. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:44, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * This source makes the link clearer. It is after the next sentence as it references the relationship with all three, but you can set it off twice to make the connections clearer. In any case, you must now revert your own edit. Otherwise, I think you need to revert it and take this case to the Talk page if you disagree. I still think the above strategies (Dubious or Citation needed) are better suited to collective editing. I will check back in two days to make sure this was carried out. Thank you, Crtew (talk) 13:52, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but what you will find is that this source will have been removed as well. User generated content is not RS, especially on a BLP. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:59, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The FACT template is still the more appropriate solution in this case and your inability to be flexible does not allow others to find the citations that you should request and thereby improve the article. I have NO problem with you questioning a source or two -- that's fantastic that you do this and I encourage you! My bone to pick is with your strategy of blanking material so that NO improvements can be made. Material is buried using this approach and nobody else gets the chance to add to/improve the content. You need to be reasonable and take this to the Talk page as I suggest. Crtew (talk) 14:24, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

By the way, you have just broken WP:3R (see history) and this will be reported soon if you don't take a more reasonable approach.Crtew (talk) 14:31, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
 * (ec)I do not have a "strategy" and when you point me to the section of WP:BLP which says blogs and user generated content is suitable for use in a BLP I will self revert. There is nothing to discuss here, BLP policy is quite clear. I feel quite sure that I have not broken 3RR, what with only two reverts today on that article and the obvious BLP exemption from 3RR. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:34, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

At this point, I'm no longer willing to use your talk page to discuss the matter and prefer open and transparent discussion. Please direct any further communication to me at the article talk page in question. I honestly look forward to a rational resolution of this matter. Thank you, Crtew (talk) 18:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Please check out the better sources so that we can end this debate. Furthermore, after this is over, never, ever contact me about anything ever again. Thank you, Crtew (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

You have absolutely no right to put me on any kind of noticeboard list. You must stop this immediately, take me off the list and leave me alone. Crtew (talk) 23:17, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If you are going to stalk me to a highly contentious article it is only right that I inform you that it is under arbitration enforcement. I inform quite a few people, it is no bigge. Darkness Shines (talk) 23:23, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * NO it is a very big deal. You need to leave me alone. This is a backlash. Do not address me or contact me or put me on any kind of listing. Why do you think my editing on this site is about YOU? Are you that egocentric? Get over yourself. I was there to explore a connection between Bergman and the article and I have every right to do that. You have crossed a line Buddy/ I feel intimidated by your actions and no longer safe in this environment. And I will not tolerate this. You need to cease and desist. Crtew (talk) 23:45, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * My response to your "notification" is on my talk page for all to see. Please stop contacting me. We're through entirely. I will not acknowledge you anymore as all it brings is trouble. You can have your little serfdom and I'm not interested in any further editing in this wild frontier section of Wikipedia -- even commas. The end. Crtew (talk) 03:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "David Bergman (journalist)". {| style="border: 0; width: 100%;"
 * style="width: 50%; vertical-align: top;" |
 * style="width: 50%; vertical-align: top;" |

If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form.

What this noticeboard is:


 * It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction.

What this noticeboard is not:


 * It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct.
 * It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums.
 * It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN.
 * It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy.

Things to remember:


 * Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors.   Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion.
 * Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page.
 * Sign and date your posts with four tildes " ".
 * If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot   operator  /  talk 18:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

For the record
Thanks for the offer DS, I'll report here each time I get a different IP address. Am I dreaming, or am I really self-imposing an edit ban because Bbb23 blocked me when I was dynamically assigned 212.183.140.33 by my ISP, on the assumption that I was the same editor who had received a 24-hour block for vandalism on 28 February 2010 (almost 3 years ago) whilst assigned that same IP address. And even though that same IP has been used several times almost every month since then. You've got to laugh, haven't you. 212.183.128.225 (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Be careful with templates
Hi. I noticed that the warning template about Arbcom discretionary sanction which you placed on some users' talk pages says 'this notice is given by an uninvolved administrator', which I understand you are not. After a little digging, I found out the template isn't restricted to use by admins, but non-admins should use the parameter |admin=no. I'm sure it was an honest mistake, but take care when using templates that you have all the right arguments. CarrieVS (talk) 10:17, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Were in the template does the |admin=no go? I have gotten this form of notification from an editor over the IP topics, it was the same as the one for this area. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I haven't the faintest idea. If a careful read of the template documentation doesn't tell you, I suggest trial-and-preview until it works. But you need to do it, or else you're impersonating an administrator. CarrieVS (talk) 11:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * An admin told me that was the one to use. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:05, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Then I'm sure it is the right one to use, but you need to use it properly. CarrieVS (talk) 12:08, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Reading more, I'm actually a little confused about your use of this template. As far as I can work out, it is supposed to be a warning for users who have already misconducted themselves on the topic in question. But from some things you have said I am concerned that you might be using it as a pre-emptive notice that sanctions may be enacted if the user is disruptive; the template documentation notes that "preemptive warnings are considered hostile". It also says that "the template should be accompanied by an individualised message", but you seem to be placing it on talk pages with no such message. CarrieVS (talk) 12:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Darkness Shines, you left a warning for User:Crtew at WP:ARBIPA. I am guessing that you were concerned about International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh). Can you clarify exactly what the problem was with his editing that you feel merited a warning? Any diffs? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I left the warninf as he had edit warred BLP violations into the David Bergman article, Bergman is a blogger & journalist who is covering the ICT. I am of the opinion he stalked me to the ICT article as I had just done a few minor edits and he then turned up. After his lack of concern for BLP on the Bergman article I felt it necessary to let him know that this article is under arb sanctions. Carrie. I asked Sal which template to use, he told me this one. I am adding it in the exact same manner in which I got one regarding the IP conflict. I have only given it to editors who have editwarred, committed BLP violations, or are obvious SPA's & a meatpuppet. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:00, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * TO: EdJohnston and Carrie, This is a change of story on his part. At that point, we had ended our discussion on Bergman. That was a whole separate matter. In the end, I satisfied the requirements for a better source (see below for the end of this story). I followed the edit from Bergman to that page I was not aware of who was editing there and all I did was copy edit. He continues to turn a coincidence into WP:Bad Faith. I did nothing wrong at International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh), and as you see above he can't seem to find anything beyond his vague feeling. Also I have every right to go there. I received no warnings while there. Tonight he and his friends (see the coordination in the section below) did an editing attack on David Bergman (journalist). Three editors all at once and pre-coordinated as the section below shows. I stopped editing once I realized what was going on. Based on all of these experiences (and the experiences others have shared with me), I'm going to report him at the admin site, if Carrie doesn't report him first. This is war editing from someone who has way too many rights in Wikipedia for the type of behavior he has been exhibiting. Crtew (talk) 21:15, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello Darkness Shines. I mentioned your name in a comment I left at User talk:CarrieVS. When you start to issue Arbcom warning messages there are certain expectations created about your conduct. If it seems you aren't using due care to issue these messages corectly. You certainly haven't left enough documentation with your warnings to identify the behavior that you think justifies them. If you are using poor judgment when you issue warnings this might be reviewed at WP:Arbitration enforcement. In future you would be on safer ground if you ask uninvolved admins to issue these warnings instead of doing it yourself. An admin who gave out such warnings for no easily visible reason would also be in trouble. EdJohnston (talk) 21:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * DS. I'm removing the names you added. When you have issues with the editing behavior or any editor, please bring them to the attention of an uninvolved administrator. While there are sanctions on India and Pakistan articles in place, the intent of those sanctions is not to stifle discussion and, unfortunately, that is the main effect of undocumented behavioral warnings. --regentspark (comment) 22:07, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Can my name be removed too? I was also illegitimately put on the list by DS Applesandapples (talk) 00:40, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ed, were does one leave documentation? As I have said, I am following the same procedure as was given to me when I got templated over the IP thing. Darkness Shines (talk) 01:41, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * In fact Ed you yourself said Arbcom has made clear that non-admins can issue notifications of discretionary santions Darkness Shines (talk) 01:54, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * And no difference at all in the language used it the template you said was fine to have been used on me Darkness Shines (talk) 01:57, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It is assumed that people who issue warnings know what they are doing. I don't see you as giving good rationales for the original warnings or having a plan in place to deal with disputes about the validity of the warnings. Any more turmoil of this kind is probably going to take us to one of the admin boards, possibly AE. At that time, the actions of whoever issued the warnings may be reviewed. Someone who is already involved in a topic area (such as yourself) may not be in the best position to judge whether others need to be warned using the language of uw-sanctions. That template says "continue to misconduct yourself", a harsh phrase that needs justification. If you are willing to reflect on recent events and take a break from issuing discretionary sanctions warnings this matter might go away. EdJohnston (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * In addition to what Ed pointed out ″This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator″ - is missing from the notice that was issued to you (unlike what you gave us). There you've the most blatant of the differences (I've not dug deep into the matter, hence there maybe other differences). Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 08:46, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ed. I will leave off for a bit and involve and admin next time if you think that is the best course of action, I will try and figure out were in the template the extra parameter needs to go. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:29, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Al-Ahbash, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Abd-al-Wahhab (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

David Bergman (journalist)
Hi Shines, in David Bergman (journalist)'s article is it ok to cite a bloggers blog as reference? A large part of this article is cited to that blog. Another point is in Works of journalism section an article written by him is given. I think it is a self promotional work. Another point is needed to add, that the War Crimes File documentary was removed by channel 4 for legal order from court.--Freemesm (talk) 18:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It i ok if the information is about himself yes. And what you removed were external links Assuming the youtube link is to a legit C4 channel then in is not a linkvio so both of those can stay. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:06, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I can't see the Youtube link. That youtube channel does not belongs to channel 4 and this documentary was removed by channel 4 for legal order from court. If you think it can be there, then it is ok. But whats about Works of journalism? Here a link of his newspaper article linked directly. Is it ok?--Freemesm (talk) 06:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I remove the YouTube link as it was a linkvio. I have raised the matter of the Works of journalism on the talk page already. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:32, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Sanctions notice
Hi DS. My talk page is a bit of a mess so I'm replying here. It is not a good idea to sanction editors with whom you're having a dispute, even if you believe that they are editing disruptively. I've removed (apparently only some) names that you added, but feel free to ask any uninvolved admin to add them back if you think it necessary. But do try to make a good case. For example, I don't think Mrt is being disruptive (persistent, yes, but not disruptive) if this is only about the human rights in kashmir issue. Persistence and disruption are entirely different things. Bottom line, go to an uninvolved admin if you think you have a case. --regentspark (comment) 14:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason I added Mrt was not because of the never ending talk page discussion, it was for the edit warring, the second one he was in in the space of a few weeks which is under the sanctions. I am ot going to bother again, and the next time I have to file an AE case which is dismissed as the guy had not been given notification I can point to this fiasco.

Who is Nangparbat?
You occasionally point to a banned user called while reverting IPs and alleged socks. It's not an issue, what intrigues me is how you're able to discern normal ip-vandals and sock from his socks. Could you enlighten me on this matter so that I too can distinguish his socks efficiently in future? Mr T (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 11:07, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have had to put up with him stalking me for ages. I am not going to point out behavioral stuff per BEANS. But his IP socks are easy to spot, he usually enters an edit war on the side of Pakistani editors, he is a big fan of Mar4d and TG and follows them around. See Long-term abuse/Nangparbat for known IP ranges used. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That's it? What if somebody takes that claim as a personal accusation (WP:NPA) and decides to go to ANI; what should an editor do then? Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 11:46, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Then you laugh. He has done that Ask Elockid, myself or Sal to look at the IP contributions. We usually spot him straight away. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:02, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Why is ( & ) not blocked yet then?  Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 12:34, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Mobile network, pointless to block. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:36, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

On your edit war and 3RR violation
Your recent editing history at Hindu Taliban shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

No PA was made, this header is bull
Hello, I'm Eduemoni. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Hindu Taliban that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ''I noticed that your temper is getting worse in Talk:Hindu Taliban. Please, stay calm and avoid using offensive words. Remember that Wikipedia is a civilized place and opinions are reached through consensus. Not by using weasel or offensive words.'' Eduemoni↑talk↓  04:36, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Look I know you mean well, but do not alter my posts. It is against policy. Wikipedia is not censored. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:02, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * BTW It tends to look like an edit war when a user follows you to an article for the sole purpose of reverting you, and does not even use the talk page. I never went over 3RR. Darkness Shines (talk) 13:09, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, there was an instance when User:Hcobb made an analogy that involved the stereotype of Japanese tendencies to commit Seppuku on the F-22 talk page, and it was edited out. There is definitely a precedent for what Eduemoni did, although whether your language has crossed that line is a point that remains up for debate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostromantic (talk • contribs)
 * Bollocks. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:48, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Here's the link. Have a nice day.  Cheers, Lostromantic (talk) 17:21, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * You are unable to tell the difference between a racist post and the word bollocks? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:34, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

While saying "bollocks" isn't a personal attack, it isn't the most civil way of going about things, and doesn't really help collaborate with others. It's certainly low on the incivility totem pole, but I do think that refraining from using certain terms does help when disagreements arise. I'm not trying to gang up on you, and I'm not suggesting that something would/should come of using words that others disagree with, but there is some merit to be had in avoiding unnecessary drama; if everyone is whining about bollocks, that's less discussion dedicated to improving the article. It's not your fault, nor is it theirs, but it's still something that is distracting from the article improvement. If abstaining from using certain words in certain situations would fix that, I think Wikipedia itself would benefit. I'm not asking you to remove anything anyone finds offensive and never use words others disagree with again, but what I am asking, if you don't mind me asking, is just that you consider the reaction to your comments before you hit "Save page", and if you think it'll cause an undesired reaction that will distract from the discussion, that you just give it a second thought before saving, that's all. - SudoGhost 18:14, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Whilst your comments are fair enough I give short shrift to those whose only edits to an article are to revert me. I had never interacted with Lostromantic before, yet he appears on an article he has never edited for the sole purpose of reverting my remova lof crap which has no place in that article, the other guy, Scythian77 obviously stalked me to that article after he lost a content dispute on Iranian Space Agency. He has not even used the talk page. So when people act like that I tend to get a little annoyed. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:21, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Saffron Terror
There was an extensive discussion on both the talk page and at WP:DRN; I had previously strongly supported the "alleged" version, but after hearing a lot of discussion, I also agreed it should be removed. At that point, only one editor was supporting the use of "alleged". Now, you're welcome to re-open the discussion since you weren't involved in the last one, but right now there seems to be a fairly strong consensus not to use the word "alleged". At this point, that's the status quot, and should remain in place until you can show that consensus has changed. I recommend you look at the rationale provided; as I said, I found it quite persuasive. There is probably more necessary work on the rest of the article to make it more clear that most things labelled "saffron terror" don't actually meet the definition, but that's a different matter. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I never used the word "alleged", I wrote it was a neo. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it was unintentional, but the version you were switching to does contain that word. If you look at your diff, your version says, "Saffron terror[1] is a controversial neologism which is used to describe acts of Right-wing terrorism in India,[2] allegedly inspired by Hindu nationalism". So, would I be correct in understanding that what you actually want is to keep the "neologism", but not the "allegedly"? Qwyrxian (talk) 11:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)r
 * I am confused. I wrote that in myself "is a controversial neologism which is used to describe acts of Right-wing terrorism in India" and for the life of me cannot see "allegedly" But you are correct in that all I had wanted to add was that it is a neologism. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:11, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not going mad after all When you revert my first change you also removed allegedly. I had not noticed that so when I reverted you it restored it. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see, so it was my error after all; I perhaps got confused about your change or the one before it...or just didn't read carefully. In any event, I'll re-add the word neologism, and not the allegedly part. Sorry for causing confusion. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:10, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, though, as I was about to do it, I realized that it would still be wrong to add "neologism". That's because the article isn't about the "phrase" Saffron terror, it's about the acts described as Saffron terror. If you take a look at the items on Neologism, and then look at the corresponding articles, you'll see that the lead sentence doesn't say "X is a neologism". For a recent example, see Lolcat, a word first attested to 2006. And there, too, it doesn't say neologism. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it is true that "Saffron terror" is a neologism, but that doesn't belong in the definition (lead sentence) of the article. This is no different than the fact that we don't say on Rice "Rice is a word which means..." or "Rice refers to..." So I don't think neologism belongs. If you re-add it, I'm not going to edit war to stop you, since arguably the "neologism" part is the status quo, but we'll have to discuss it then on the article's talk page.

Hello there
Hello Darkness, I'm still aware that you don't want me posting on your talk page, but I want to ask you something, why exactly are you reverting Lostromantic edits in Hindu Taliban? Are they trivial? Unsourced? Biased? I'll appreciate your reply, so thanks in advance and forgive me for invading your talk page.

 * Hey, sorry about last time you caught me on a bad day, I reverted Lostromantic because the content is not about "Hindu Taliban" it is about Hindutva and not the WP:NEO which the article purports to cover. Darkness Shines (talk) 23:22, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Good, good, apologies accepted, I was mean too, so I'm sorry for that but take care, don't stress yourself up too much, consider wikipedia as your safe haven.

Bangladesh Liberation War
Well, this war started as a result of Bengali Nationalism, not due to religion! No doubt many hindus were killed, but it was not the basis of the war! So i think that this category is not best for it. Faizan (talk) 12:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Religion had a lot to do with it along with nationalism. See Women, War, and the Making of Bangladesh: Remembering 1971 p46. The cat is just fine. Darkness Shines (talk) 12:29, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Religion had nothing to do with Nationalism. Bengali Nationalism was against Two-Nation Theory! Even Pakistan was formed on the the name of religion, so Bengali Nationalism would obviously go against religion! Faizan (talk) 12:32, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Religion had a great deal to do with the war, it was not all about nationalism. Why do you think there was ethnic cleansing going on? The Hindus were systematically slaughtered? Darkness Shines (talk) 12:55, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am talking about the basis of the war, the hindus were slaughtered no doubt, but this was not the basis of the war, and that category deals with those wars, which were based on religion or they started due to religion, Category:Religion-based civil wars is not appropriate! You should create a category or look for an existing one, which is suitable for the hindus killed! That's it. Faizan (talk) 13:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The category is for wars which had a religious element, not just wars which were based on religion, and that is it. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * They fought for Pakistan, but they were in East Pakistan. Faizan (talk) 13:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

ANI
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:51, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Your language and behaviour at AN/I is disruptive. Time to cool down. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  14:08, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

I regard this edit as disruptive behaviour. You don't need to agree with me, but if you'll undertake to pursue the argument at AN/I more calmly I'll certainly unblock you. If you can reword your appeal abvove to indicate this I'll be happy to unblock. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  15:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hahahaha in an edit summary is disruptive now? So no. If I want to swear I will, there are no policy against it. You have made a bad block and are now trying to get me to agree to something "you want" and only you before unblocking me. I will not be blackmailed. There are no grounds within policy for this block so just undo it. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:54, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * DS, as I'm sure you know from following the thread at ANI, I disagreed with the block. However, I think that Writ Keeper's advice is well-taken. You don't need to sprinkle your comments with words that are offensive to many to make your points. Before you click Save page, just reread what you've written and remove anything that doesn't bolster your position but just pleases your sense of colorful rhetoric. Don't think of it as censorship, just a little respect for others and good advocacy.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The diff shows a message which would likely exacerbate the situation, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it particularly disruptive. It's a bit much to block without warning if that is the only reason. I can understand the annoyance in the first sentence considering DS was pointing out an obvious inconsistency in what Mr T was saying about DS in the next sentence.

Hello there²
Hey Darkness, I hope you don't see me as a hypocrite, I'm being honest here, I do not devalue your efforts as a contributor, I sometimes misbehave, I talk to much and I'm too critic, sometimes I don't know about the subject but I give hints on it. I think it is the best way to refresh our behavior is to reinforce or create old/new friends. I'm stepping forward and I wanna be here for whatever you need me for. Also take my shining star as a symbol of the world I desire, it is not filled with stars and smiles, but I wish for it. Regards
 * Why would I think you a hypocrite? You have every right to speak your mind. Thanks for the smiley star. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:22, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I didn't have time to chime in before the ANI discussion closed. I second Eduemoni's thoughts, and I just want to say that I don't really see any POV-pushing from you--it's more the case that your editing style rubbed me the wrong way.  The latter is a lot more bearable than the former, and given that you've pledged to work on getting better at Wikipedia, I'll be taking your words in good faith.  Look forward to working with you on articles in the future.  Thanks, Lostromantic (talk) 02:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I also take your promise to turn a new leaf on WP:Good Faith and it sounds good to hear. However, you know by now that I'm not one for promises, and I'll reserve my judgment for a later date when this promise is put into action. Crtew (talk) 09:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

All I was trying to edit was my signature, which was in the middle of a statement on the talk page. I don't know how the content you have mentioned was deleted. But thanks for the update. cheers.Parjorim (talk) 08:20, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Mar4d's userpage
The image is listed on Commons as being CC by SA compliant as of 2009. I did check the source image on flickr and it is now all rights reserved, but from my understanding one can revoke CC after giving permission, but anyone who started using the image in a CC compliant fashion (as Commons does) may still use it under the license. Mar4d did not restore the image that was deleted on Commons that they had been using previously. Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 18:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Not really my problem, the bot says " (Removing "Aerialshotlahore.jpg", it has been deleted from Commons by Martin H. because: Copyright violation: commons:Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems/Archive_15#Watercolor121 + file dele...)" hence a copyvio. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, the bot removed a linked file. Even tho Mar4d's edit summary said 'Revert', he did in fact change the linked file to another entirely different free file on Commons. You can view the old redlink for the now deleted file in his page history. You can click the current pic and see that it is on Commons, and therefore free. If you feel that the images should not be included on Commons, then you need to take it up on Commons. You have been here long enough to be familiar with actually using page histories, and you have a huge contentious block log, so I'm considering that your understanding of policy may be lacking when compared to my own. Do not edit his page again without clear proof that the image is unfree. Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 12:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

About the revert in Shahbag article
Hi there! I just saw that you reverted my reverts in the Shahbag article. Well here is what Underlying lk added in the article:

"Critics allege the trial wasn't fair, pointing to a series of leaked conversations between Mohammed Nizamul Huq, the former chairman of the tribunal, and a Bangladeshi human-rights lawyer named Ahmed Ziauddin, who according to the transcripts played a key role in the process, including helping to structure judgements and coordinating with the prosecution, despite having no formal position in the war-crimes tribunal. The lawyers for four of the accused, including Sayeedi's, filed for retrials after the tapes came to light, but the tribunal rejected the petitions."

To me, this statement does not belong here, it could be added to ICT Bangladesh which is a separate article in wikipedia. To put this statement in the lead of Shahbag article is irrelevant and gives undue weight on ICT. If you notice the edits of Underlying lk you will find that, the edits were done systematically to include his point of view about ICT in this article. That is why I reverted it. Thanks. .....

Citing TV news
Hi DS, are there any policy about citing any TV news report on wikipedia, which are not available on web? I know, if they don't have any authorized youtube or other video channel, but the news is available in other account, then citing that video is linkvio.-- FreemesM  (talk) 17:18, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * If it is not an offical channel run by a news company then it is a linkvio, give me the link so I can check it. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:59, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
 * DS, you have been very explicitly asked, more than once, by Crtew not to post on his talk page. And yet we get this which you could have simply ignored with no harm to anyone. Please don't ever post to Crtew's talk page again. If you have a notice that simply must be placed there (eg notifying of an AN/I discussion) then you can ask another editor to do it for you. Just to be really clear: continuing to post to another user's talk page after a distinct warning to stop can become disruptive and be grounds for a block. Stop, now please. Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  22:51, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought everyone had turned over a new leaf, what a pile of bollocks that was then. But I suppose it is OK for him to turn up at articles I edit all the time. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Please do not twist fact about the ownership of Arunachal Pradesh
Since you mentioned vandalism, I don't need to explain its meaning. Arunachal Pradesh by most is a disputed area. I have reverted your changes. Thanks for your contribution in Wikipedia community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.128.60.150 (talk) 09:13, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It does not matter if it is a disputed area, it is an Indian state. Darkness Shines (talk) 09:23, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

- I didn't realize that I was talking with a dictator. So it's up to you to dictate where an area belongs to? In an open knowledge sharing community, maybe you could learn to live with different opinions. At least 1.3 billion people in China believe that area is part of Tibet. And you think you could change anything by threatening me of terminating my editing rights? Where's the editor standing on a neutral ground. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivanzhourocks (talk • contribs) 09:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I do not care at all what 1.3 billion people in China believe. I only care about WP:V & WP:RS. Darkness Shines (talk) 09:47, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

- as if anybody give a thing about what you care at. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivanzhourocks (talk • contribs) 09:59, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't care either what Darkness Shines thinks, either (no offense intended, DS). But what I do care about is what our policies and guidelines state, and he's absolutely correct here. The relevant rule is that information must be verified by reliable sources. You must stop edit warring to introduce your unsourced changes to that article. I have semi-protected the article temporarily to hopefully stop the unsourced changes. Now, if you have some reliable sources that you think could be added to the article, please go to the article's talk page and discuss them. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:56, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

 * No, you are violating the 3RR rule and are going to get blocked for it. Wikipedia is not censored, if you wish to remove images you deem pornograpic then you need to get consensus for your actions. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:47, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * He is doing so as well, and has for much longer than I have. And there's a difference between censorship and not including unneeded graphic images on an article of already questionable use. NotHelpingMatters (talk) 00:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The IP has also been reported for editwarring, not my problem. There is no excuse other than a blatant BLP violation to hit 11 reverts. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:52, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * So him doing it is not your problem, but me doing it is? How does this make sense in any way? NotHelpingMatters (talk) 00:54, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * That is not what I wrote. It is not my problem as both of you are now on 12RR, you both will likely get blocked, I do not care one way or the other about the images in that article, only the disruption caused by the both of you.. Darkness Shines (talk) 01:00, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Michael & Me
Hello. I just wanted to let you know I removed your reference to Teaching Social Issues with Film from the article on Michael & Me. As you can see from the publisher's own copy of the text on their website, they copied the Wikipedia page and published it in their book. While I understand that you might be disappointed by this turn of events, it is a very common occurrence and experienced editors come across it on a daily basis. Basically, we can't use Wikipedia to cite Wikipedia, even if another outside source decides to publish the Wikipedia article. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or the relevant RS noticeboard. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 21:29, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Where in your link does it say the author copied from Wikipedia? Darkness Shines (talk) 22:28, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi. I see you've been here since 2011, so maybe you haven't encountered the close paraphrasing/copyvio test before.  I will briefly explain how this works, but my time is very limited at the moment.  The link does not say "This author copied from Wikipedia", in those words, although they most certainly did.  The text you attempted to source was written on Wikipedia many years before the source was published.  This is called backwards copyvio.  Have you heard of it before? Basically, here's how it works.  An editor can identify text in a Wikipedia article that matches the text in a news story, website, or book.  Our first reaction is to think there has been a copyright violation, so we decide to remove the text from the Wikipedia article. However, this is not always true.  In cases of backwards copyvio (or copying minus the violation), the source takes the text from Wikipedia.  In fact, that is what happened.  The text you sourced to the 2009 book Teaching Social Issues With Film was actually written by Wikipedia editor User:Antonrojo on July 12, 2007.  I further predict that you will find additional copying from Wikipedia in that book. If this doesn't make sense to you, let me know.  I realize this must seem odd if you are new to the concept, but believe me, it is very common! Viriditas (talk) 23:20, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for the message. I think there's been a mistake with the references. I tried looking the refs up and I couldn't verify them - thats why I thought it might be a good idea to remove them.

Nomination of Human rights abuses in Kashmir for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Human rights abuses in Kashmir is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Human rights abuses in Kashmir until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 11:18, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * What about the contents of Gilgit-Baltistan section in Human rights abuses in Kashmir? Mr T  (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 13:20, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

See this
edit by a strange newcomer whose first edit is to revert me on Human rights violations in Balochistan? One of the lines is hilarious, it reads: "'Pakistan has repeatedly accused India, and occasionally the U.S., of supporting the Baluch rebels in order to destabilise the country claiming undeniable evidence which it failed to present. [..]The Obama administration's former Af-Pak envoy, Richard Holbrooke, said that while Pakistan had repeatedly shared its allegations with Washington, it had failed to provide any evidence to the United States that India was involved in separatist movements in Balochistan. The United States does not consider Pakistan's accusations against India credible.'"

I didn't revert it BTW. It asserts that Brahamdagh Bugti in an interview stated he "would" accept (as in he is ready to accept it in future) aid from India, Afghanistan, and Iran which would help in the defence of Baluchistan. These are typical Pakistani conjectures. Mr T (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 13:14, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Weird, I am sure I had already removed that for the very reasons you just stated. Mainly what Bugti had said in that interview. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Seleucidis
Hello! I'm asking you to apologize to Seleucidis, because you said he lies, but it was your mistake. Also can you tell how come you did such mistake? He clearly didn't register at 15th April. Was it because you really didn't want to solve it, you wanted to do it ASAP so you didn't think about it much or something else? I think these are things which have to be explained. It's "just" one hurted user. And this one user is very respectable person on pl.wiki, probably gave Wikipedia more than you gave, he's always polite. Even if he wouldn't be, you wouldn't make that mistake, it's still bad to say something about "time machine". Have you noticed that's just personal attack? This rule is not only about curse words. Even if you have reason, you can't attact him. And you hadn't reason. Thanks in advance, Herr Kriss (talk) 23:51, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Please don't give up on the Ahbash dispute. I know nothing about the topic, but was asked for a third opinion by one editor and since I hate seeing stalled progress on articles, I would feel guilty if I didn't help. But by the looks of it, you have experience with the discussion and I don't think I can mediate between the two parties on my own - it's time consuming and if a certain someone were willing to split mediation duty, it would help a lot. MezzoMezzo (talk) 08:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Campaign for "santorum" neologism
DS, don't continue to edit war over the wording of the lead. Your statement that it "requires" an uninvolved admin to declare consensus is not true. If you want to raise the BLP issues you believe are involved, then take it to a noticeboard, but if you continue to battle in the article in defiance of the discussion on the talk page, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:54, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I cannot be blocked for following policy. Please read WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV "Biased statements of opinion can be presented only with attribution" This is a BLP and if you look at the talk page half the voters did not give any policy based reasons for this opinion to be stated as fact in Wikipedias voice. NOTAVOTE, hence my request for an uninvolved admin to decide on the consensus, which is how a contentious RFC is meant to be closed out. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:12, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you!
I'm just trying to do a good job as an editor but I keep getting resistance from stubborn editors (such as HIAB). I want them to leave me alone which is why I don't participate in their drama. Most of them are "quoting rules" that don't apply or matter while violating guidelines themselves. I'm being judged as an IP who has been on Wikipedia as different IPs/accounts over the years (started editing in 2007) since I travel and move, etc. That is not sock puppetry as I was accused of. I also may have mistyped something on a talk page that is being taken out of context as I type fast and my keyboard misses some characters sometimes. At any rate, I am so annoyed with how editors (all listed on my talk page right now) are violating rules and nothing has been done about it. So as a smoke screen they "jump the gun" and report me. One is mad I won't update an article of his anymore or something silly. Or if I stand up for myself without being disrepectful, they challenge me as if jealous (without me assuming bad faith). If you look at the edits I make on talk pages, they are polite, friendly and supportive/encouraging. I know that is not the norm around here, but it's how I am. I feel I am being persecuted as a result. It's all very discouraging/frustrating! 99.129.112.89 (talk) 17:23, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I have no idea why you are thanking me, all I did was point out the obvious on ANI. I know IP editors often get a rough deal, have you not thought of creating an account? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know, devil's advocate I guess. Gives no one the right to abuse IP users. Maybe I'm a lone editor wanting to change the way productive users are often mistreated and everyone actually practice what is preached or intended by Wikipedia rules/guidelines. Other than that I have my own personal reasons. But standing up for myself is not a violation, though some seem to think it was. Nonetheless, I appreciate your support, take care and best wishes! :) P.S. I thanked you because I have respect and etiquette (which I think pisses people off sometimes). Also thanks for seeing the truth... sometimes it's difficult to find allies on here (in particular ones who won't turn on you). 99.129.112.89 (talk) 19:47, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Two things, first read WP:INDENT Second, I piss everyone off here eventually, an end result of sticking to facts and NPOV  Darkness Shines (talk) 19:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, but I already know about indenting. NOT a big deal, but the last back-and-forth I just had got out of order so I decided not to indent as it caused more problems. Just lazy and trying to get these typed up ASAP. Plus my keyboard is acting up and using that character is problematic at the moment... Also, I guess people who don't get their way will get mad, jealous or be stubborn. I have a couple of individuals currently causing me problems still, so I may have to seek your assistance again. Never know! :) P.S. It's raining outside. 99.129.112.89 (talk) 20:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

User talk:Toa Nidhiki05
Will you do me a favor and let this person know to leave me alone? User talk:Toa Nidhiki05 Another angry person based on an old article I made changes/fixes to and advised of violations on the talk page (CCM). Not only that, he/she is assuming it's a "hit list" of people I will report. This is something I posted on my page and should remain due to recent events. He/she has reverted it twice, and I don't want it to turn out to be like HIAB. Talk about "hell in a bucket" today/lately... I will advise others involved in the last dispute if your help doesn't stop him/her from bothering me. P.S. It's clear they are trying to "hide" any attention about them and my grievance s with him/her. This nonsense is keeping me from being productive, I have to keep babysitting these disruptive users. 99.129.112.89 (talk) 20:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Gotta go with what Flo said, and I cannot recall the policy which covers such lists either, keep it off line along with any diffs you think you need. Darkness Shines (talk) 20:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * My point is that specific person needs to leave me alone and removing it twice from my page is wrong and disruptive as it is someone from an old article who didn't get their way or didn't like me standing up for myself about poor sources within the article, so I need people to just let him/her know to back off my page and do something else. I don't need that person removing what they claim is a "hit list" off my talk page. That is a violation. Then they leave comments about how I'll get laughed out of a noticeboard dispute. Shocking how people act on here. So petty, which is also a policy... not trying to push a point, pester or cause distress. Not very civil of him/her. 99.129.112.89 (talk) 20:47, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep the list off wiki, not hard. Per WP:TPG you have the right to ask editors to refrain from posting to your talk page, if they do not and you feel they are harassing you then you take it to ANI. But like Flo just told you, and you said yourself above, a great many petty minded people will have a great time reverting you and watching you get blocked.

Regarding your edits on the Sarabjit Singh article...
I've been following the Sarabjit Singh article since I came across it on the main page. After reading it originally I ended up editing some awkward grammar (likely an ESL editor, understandable that errors were made). As I have no strong opinions on India/Pakistan conflicts I thought I'd make an effort to help patrol neutrality.

Anyway, when I saw your edit summary "contribs)‎ . . (34,096 bytes) (-3,146)‎ . . (Take it to talk)'" I assumed you were directing Faizan to an existing relevant talk entry. That you meant to imply that you had already 'took' it there. I was rather surprised that there was no entry relating to deletion of a complete subsection from a prominent article.

Please remember— regardless of friction between you and User:Faizan Al-Badri —that others are following the page.

An entry on the talk page expounding a bit on why you decided the subsection had "nothing to do with this article" and was "pure coatrack" would be appreciated. Personally, I feel that it would have been a good idea to have 'taken it to talk' before reverting the revert, if not instead of.

I've now come across this Nomination of Samandar Paar for deletion with your name on it. You seem to be taking quite an interest in User:Faizan's work. Please, don't let it stop you from remembering the rest of us.

Thanks for your time and attention,

RE 'edit war'
My reasons for editing the UKIP that I stated to GimliDotNet

" I purposely removed the said analysis because I felt it was outdated. UKIP gained 3.0% of the national vote in the 2010 General Election, this is relatively small in comparison to 23% in the last Local Elections and in recent national voting projections. As you can imagine the demographics and characteristics of the parties support will have changed considerably since 2011 when that analysis was published.

The analysis was also lacking in impartiality IMO. "

'via a proxy'
Regarding this edit summary would you care to explain on what grounds you have made the accusation that an editor was using a proxy account, and provide a link to the sockpuppet investigation you have initiated? AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I have no idea how many people are watching the article - and in consequence I see no particular reason to assume that it is a sockpuppet of a registered editor.

Indophobia
To a person not aware of the circumstances of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, it seems that it had to do with Indians' skin colour or European women. I clarified it for the casual reader so that they might not have to actually read that article to get the gist of the comment here. Also, the term Amritsar Massacre is disingenuous and I've used the more popular name of the incident, which is, rightly, also the title of the main article. Thanks for your check. 117.197.49.99 (talk) 18:08, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I will read up on it ASAP, but the wiki article says it was a crowd control exercise which turned into a slaughter. If so it actually has no place in the Indophobia article. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:16, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please read about it first. It was perpetrated by a known racist, Indophobic bigot (The Butcher of Amritsar), under orders from an Establishment (Michael O'Dwyer) with full knowledge and comprehension of his actions (as evidenced by his firing orders (shoot low) to some of his troops who fired into the air). Deliberately firing more than one thousand rounds into a crowd in an enclosed space without any provocation, or even warning is not crowd control at all. It was what the title says. A Massacre. It was so bad even the British Parliament had a hard time defending it, and Dyer was unceremoniously asked to resign. Of course, he was fêted by other bigots like Rudyard Kipling and several Lords, but that's beside the point. The point is that this was Indophobia in action on a horrific scale. 117.197.49.99 (talk) 18:28, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * (ec)So I got curious and looked, my initial guess was correct and that incident had nothing to do with Indophobia, so I removed it as OR. If you have a source which says this was an indophobic action feel free to restore it, I will take a look myself. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, the Butcher's motivations were certainly Indophobic, and he might even have truly believed he was 'protecting' white women. The Wikipedia article on Reginald Dyer says--

"A Thirteen Women Committee was constituted to present "the Saviour of the Punjab with the sword of honour and a purse." This single incident angered the Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore so much that he renounced his knighthood in protest. The Morning Post had supported Dyer’s action on grounds stating that the massacre was necessary to "Protect the honour of European Women." This "honour of European women" moral panic was tackled by E. M. Forster in his A Passage to India, which the line in the article you deleted referred to. The massacre by a delusional Indophobe (a General, no less) motivated authors to dispel these myths. 117.197.49.99 (talk) 18:41, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * To say that the killings where Indophobia without a source violates WP:NOR, I am looking for a source, I suggest you do the same. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:49, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Nobody's saying here that the killings were Indophobic (although they may well have been). The original line says that it brought authors like Forster to write on the subject of racist stereotypes of Indians and dispel them. The Massacre's aftermath ('protecting the honour of European Women' award to the Butcher, etc) brought forth these anti-Indophobic novels. This is not the article about the Massacre itself. 117.197.49.99 (talk) 19:00, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but from what I am looking at the killings had nothing to do with race and more to do with "respect my authoritah". Are the books written by Forster specifically written to dispel stereotypes? Do we have a source which says any of this? Darkness Shines (talk) 19:10, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The reference for the books was right there in the line, i.e., Ania Loomba's book Colonialism-postcolonialism. I quote from the Wikipedia article on Stereotypes of South Asians, "The stereotype of Indian males as dark-skinned rapists lusting after white English females was challenged by several novels such as E. M. Forster's A Passage to India (1924) and Paul Scott's The Jewel in the Crown (1966), both of which involve an Indian male being wrongly accused of raping an English female." Nothing further needs to be said. 117.197.49.99 (talk) 19:22, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I would recommend you actually read Colonialism-postcolonialism. It does not say what you seem to think it does, it certainly does not mention that Passage to India was written to refute racial stereotypes. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:32, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

2002 Gujarat violence
Articles by Christopher Jaffrelot describe the riots and the violence. So does Edward Luce's 2010 book "In spite of The Gods", from which i will give you some tidbits about the violence and Modis alleged role. Hundreds of eye witness account describe police complicity in the violence. During the riots for example Modi came on television to say about the Godhra massacre that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" - which many commentators including Luce sees as giving the green light to the subsequent violence against Muslims. Hundreds of people including many women and children were dowsed in kerosene and burned by the mobs, women first raped. Perhaps a reason that the police have not taken testimonies from any of those witnesses and that the testimonies against Modi and many others have not been accepted in court. The rioters seemed to have access to electoral registers that register religion of individuals, since they singled out Muslim homes with extreme precision. They were even able to pinpoint Muslim owned strores that had used a Hindu businesspartner and Hindu storefront to avoid discrimination.(Luce 2010:159). IN the 2002 elections according to Luce (2010:172) "open hatred ahgainst muslims was the sole theme". 200 Muslims are detained under the terror laws for participating in the Godhra train burning. Not a single Hindu has been arrested under those laws for the Gujarat riots. 200,000 Muslims were made homeless by the riots, and went on to live in refugee camps - Modi called those camps "child manufactoring factories", playing on the streotype of Muslims having large familys (Luce 2010 246). The Supreme Court Investigative Team has been strongly criticized by academics like Jaffrelot for rejecting testimony of Muslims. In 2007 an investigative journalists published recordings of Hindu activists boasting of their own acts during the riots, and praising Modi for helping them and even for personally hiding some of them when they were sought by the police. The tapes have not been admitted as evidence by the SIT Investigation. The same individuals have even repeated the claims on record, but have not been accepted as evidence. During the violence the leader of the RSS Modis organization stated that "Let the Muslims understand that their safety lies with the goodwill of the majority". (Luce 2010:160-1). As for the tense relation between Sonia Gandhi of the Congress Party and Modi (who have called eachother "merchant of death" and "halfbred jersey cow" and "Italian bitch" respectively) is also interesting. After the violence Gandhi gave what is considered by many her best speech, in which she accused bthe BJP ministers of turning Gujarat into the land of Godse not of Gandhi. Nathuram Godse was a member of the RSS (Modi's hindu nationalist organization) who killed Mahatma Gandhi. This is just one book about the topic of communalist violence in Gujarat which I happen to have on my shelf. There are many others, and they tell very similar stories. The stories you will hear from most of the editors on the talk page is from blogs, opinion pieces in Indian news sources (which are apparently considered reliable for positive information but not negative in a crude misinterpretation of BLP policy (this article for example is by the BJP minister and lawyer who defended the assassins of both Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, hardly an unbiased observer)) and from BJP/RSS websites like this, you will not find it in peer-reviewed journals published outside of India, and you will not find it in respectable news sources. A month ago I also hadnt heard of Modi, but once I started reading the sources and found out that basically the pages on Indian politics are run by the Indian equivalent of holocaust deniers I could not let the article alone anymore.68.9.182.96 (talk) 21:45, 23 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Here are some links to more sources. This source describes Modis television appearances during the riots, arguing that they were used byt the BJP for political purposes rather than for pacifying the rioters (This article makes a similar point ). This article argues that Modi's goverment of Gujarat is autocratic and curbs free speech of academics.  This article  analyses the 2007 BJP victory in Gujarat and the "moditva" phenomenon (an populist form of Hindu Nationalism centered around Modi and anti-Muslim sentiment combined with liberal economic policies) also mentioned in several other sources. This peer reviewed chapter   in this book  states outright that "The controversy around Modi arises from his personal and administrative support for the systematic killing of well over 2000 Muslims between March and May 2002, the investigation of which has been largely thwarted but which is basically beyond doubt." This article  calls the violence a pogrom (as do several of the other sources I have presented) and analyses how it was rationalised and motivated by the Hindutva ideology that sees Hindus as selfsacrificing victims. There are soooo many academic sources that treat this topic and Modi, yet the article relies on news paper pieces and cherry picks only irrelevant details about Modi and leaves out all of the stuff that actually makes him a signigicant character in India and beyond.68.9.182.96 (talk) 22:05, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I do not want to get involved in this discussion but Maunus let me tell you something more, it would be great if you do some more research, it was wrongly reported in the media that Modi quoted newton's third law of motion, I think it was reported in Times of India that modi quoted those words in an interview on Zee News, when SIT asked Zee News to give that video they were unable to provide one, later on it was found that Modi said that "There is some action taking place, let us not show some reaction. We neither want action nor reaction". A lot many Hindus were taken into preventive custody during the riots,many more killed in police firing. Show me one reference where Modi called Sonia an italian bitch apart from Luce's book as it is very apparent that it is filled with inaccuracies, there were many inquiries regarding the role of RSS in Gandhi's murder and none of them found any involvement of RSS. Lastly Gujarat has been home to many communal violence in past and if you look at any other violence in whole of India the conviction rate in 2002 cases is much higher. I am not providing you with any sources here as I have no intreset in having any kind of discussion which will not be helpful in developing our articles. Thanks -sarvajna (talk) 07:50, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Luce interviewed Modi and Gandhi several times, he is one of the worlds most respected journalists specializing in India, the book is published on a respected press. Maybe you should produce some sources that those statements are inaccurate instead of just claiming it like Yogesh always does when a source says something he doesnøt like. Then he usually finds some RSS/BJP blog or opinion column that supports his view and tries to make it seem as if he has actually supported his claim. If you dont wish to get involved in a discussion you should stay the fuck out of it, and otherwise you should bring some sources. It is complete disrespect for Wikipedia and for your fellow editors to respond to an array of more than ten sources with a flat contradiction. You should be blocked for your disruptive pov pushing, if wikipedia had any sense. But apparently it doesnt anymore.68.9.182.96 (talk) 12:23, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Here is an array of recent peerreviewed sources all of which report Modis quotation of Newton. Here are some non-peerreviewed ones . Here is the site where i believe Ratnakar gets his "information" - a radical Hindu nationalist advocacy website.68.9.182.96 (talk) 14:34, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I have been reading up on him, obvious he is a nationalist, or pretends to be at any rate, definitely not a nice guy. And the article most certainly needs to reflect his complicity in the Gujarat pogram. Darkness Shines (talk) 17:45, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * IP, instead of blustering, and wasting other people's time with claims which have been proven to be false, it may be better if you could get off your high horse and read the latest sources. The second instance of The Times of India quoting him on Newton's theory of action and reaction to justify the riots as a reaction to the Godhra train carnage was also found baseless. The State Information Department promptly issued a denial that Mr. Modi did not speak to The Times of India at all and the newspaper was forced to carry the denial, though deliberately in an obscure corner, the SIT said. Most of your problems seem to be because you seem to be unable to reconcile yourself with the latest developments and want to continue to live in the past, which was more to your liking.OrangesRyellow (talk) 04:51, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I am sure "The Hindu" is a much more neutral and objective source regarding this topic than peer reviewed academic journals.68.9.182.96 (talk) 16:58, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Erm, if I am such a wanker and need to stay off your talk page what makes you think it is OK for you to comment over here? Darkness Shines (talk) 17:23, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Dude, you didnt participate in that thread/pissing contest on my talkpage at all, why would you think that you were included in the message?68.9.182.96 (talk) 17:30, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I started the thread? Not that I am worried about being called a wanker, I get called far worse all the time, hell at times I am a total wanker Darkness Shines (talk) 17:33, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * [editconflict]Ah, I see. The very first (unsigned) post was yours, and we were having a conversation until certain problematic elements appeared to throw around some nonsense. You are welcome to post relevant posts to my talkpage anytime, and whether or not you are in fact a wanker I am happy to leave to your own conscience. ;)68.9.182.96 (talk) 17:35, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * @ IP. If you think the name "The Hindu" implies that the paper has any RSS or BJP or Hindu leanings, you are only showing your ignorance. It is a well respected and neutral source. And is certainly better than your obsolete sources which are making false, baseless claims. I think I must excuse myself from any further participation here, I do not want to abuse DarknessShines' hospitality and patience. IP, if you want to continue this conversation, you are welcome to do so on my talk page, even when I am a "wanker" for you.OrangesRyellow (talk) 18:03, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Could you show me the policy that says that news articles are more reliable than peer reviewed articles in academic journals? Or that academic articles from 2012 are suddenly obsolete because of the publication of an Indian Court report contradicts some of their claims?68.9.182.96 (talk) 18:21, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Source controversy
Dear Darknesshines I have a question about this source would this be enough for inclusion on the article? (check my edit on the train burning article) there seems to be a hell of allot of controversy of what really happened I think the other side of the story needs to be told to balance things out. Trikebarns (talk) 11:31, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Nang, how about you take the standered offer? Darkness Shines (talk) 16:40, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm Mrt3366. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Anti- Muslim pogroms in India, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Mr T (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 11:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * What a shock, you nationalist prick. You should be ashamed, god bless your next hideous assault on innocents. Darkness Shines (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Anti- Muslim pogroms in India


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Anti- Muslim pogroms in India. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Persecution_of_Muslims. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Persecution_of_Muslims – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here.

Proposed deletion of War Against Rape


The article War Against Rape has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. No search results at all. Being a inactive NGO enough for an article?

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fai zan  12:27, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Me,but I neither need it nor want it. I already know and have said so in the ANI thread. My talk page is cluttered enough without statements of the bleeding obvious ;) - Sitush (talk) 18:24, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Went off the peeps mentioned by ya funnily enough, still wondering should I war RP for the crack Darkness Shines (talk) 18:27, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Dennis, I did not call him a nationalist prick again, you are mistaken, I said calling him a prick was over the top, but that he is a nationalist. So I did admit I was wrong. Cheers. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:51, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It came across as a backhanded way of saying the same thing, so I can see why the block wasn't punitive. You could have been just blocked without discussion, the discussion was your opportunity to prevent the block, your chance to say "Ok, I was being a prick when I called him a prick. I won't do that again."  I kept EC'ing, trying to talk you out of getting yourself blocked, but that comment is where I gave up, figuring nothing I could say would make a difference.  On a personal note, when you get wound up, you are like an 8 day clock, wound tight and it will be a long time until you aren't.  When you get it right, you get it right, and that is why I like you, but you have to learn to not take stuff personal and when to go have a tea and cool off instead of posting.  You are your own worst enemy sometimes. I still recommend you use this time to gather your thoughts before requesting another unblock.
