Ruckersville, Virginia edit request
I removed the IP's latest request on BLP grounds, and removed your response as well when I did so. I didn't want to remove your comment without reaching out, however, so if you have an issue with the removal I can readd it and selectively redact the IP's message.

Thank You
Thanks for your help in catching another GeraldFord1980 sock. I've been watching your work anonymously from my IP address, and you've inspired me to become a Wikipedia editor myself. I doubt I'll ever been as good as you, but I sure am going to try. Kudos on a job well done.InformalDude (talk) 20:45, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Russell Westbrook Article
Hello it seems many people have informed you but Russell Westbrook is a Laker and there is evidence to back it up. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31913935/sources-los-angeles-lakers-nearing-deal-acquire-russell-westbrook-send-3-player-package-pick-washington-wizards I have tried editing the page but it was locked and judging by how active you are on the talk page it seems you have access.

Your reverts on Vishnu 14:48, 4 August 2021‎
I don't understand what is the specific reason for your rollback of my edits on the Vishnu page on 14:48, 4 August 2021‎. The edits are clearly Wiki page internal linkage. —WikiLinuz (talk) 18:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Seemed like WP:OVERLINKING to me.     19:04, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * But, the specific words like "supreme being" or "avatar" or "cosmic" have very specific meaning in Hinduism. I don't see these as over internal linking. I can understand why this might be an issue in cases where the matter is trivial, but I don't see that in this case. —WikiLinuz (talk) 19:09, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , that's a good point, I guess I didn't look closely enough, sorry. There were a couple words that were linked twice, and policy is to only the link the word the first time it appears in article article, and not link it for any subsequent appearances. I'll restore your edits though.
 * P.S. You don't have to ping me on my talk page, I get notifications anytime someone edits it . (I just notify you as a courtesy.)     19:24, 4 August 2

Help me
help me to make an sony cyber shot w800 real page please — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndLikeThings (talk • contribs) 22:41, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'd be happy to try and help. You can get started at Draft:Cyber-shot DSC-W800. That is a draft page so it can be edited freely without risk of deletion, and eventually can be submitted as an article for creation.
 * P.S. Don't forget to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes ( ~ ).     22:35, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It looks like the sony cyber shot w800 is already on List of Sony Cyber-shot cameras. It may not be notable enough for a stand alone article.     22:52, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

A Purple Barnstar for you!

/* G */ Submitting Grid Dynamics for an article to be created
Hi FormalDude,

I am aware of the conflict of interest issue, but I am confused.

I submitted the article to Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies/F-L so that a third party can write it (and also because my writing skills would fail me in every attempt). But the submission itself was marked as a conflict of interest?

How can I get this page requested? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AGridDynamicsMarketingSpecialist (talk • contribs)
 * Hi! I only put that message there in order to familiarize you with Wikipedia COI policies. So far you seem to have done a great job following them.
 * I removed your request for article creation because all requests must contain reliable, independent, third party sources, and press releases, the company's website, social media sites, and blogs are not reliable, independent sources. I'd like to see at least one strong reliable independent source for the company before accepting an article for creation request on it.     19:47, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Gotchya, thank you for the reasoning - now I know how to proceed AGridDynamicsMarketingSpecialist (talk) 20:29, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * It is difficult to find an independent source, seeing as most news about us are our own PRs. However, I am sure Forrester is a reliable and independent source. However, their | article about us is locked behind a pricy paywall. Regardless, my question to you is if this is a strong source that you are looking for? Thanks again for your help AGridDynamicsMarketingSpecialist (talk) 20:46, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does look like Forrester is reliable and independent. It has been used in other articles as a reliable source. A source being behind a paywall is not necessarily a reason not to use it. I would approve your new article for creation request if you submit it with that source. Happy to help!     20:53, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Thanks so much man. Its tough being the new guy on the block AGridDynamicsMarketingSpecialist (talk) 21:01, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I was there myself not too long ago, so I definitely know what you mean! Thanks for being accepting of Wikipedia's processes and policies, which I know can sometimes be tedious (to say the least).     21:04, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi, thanks for the request, are you coming to me because I evaluated a previous edit request of yours? If so, what article was it for?
 * I've responded to the two edit requests you listed above, unfortunately I was not able to accept them since they did not have any new information. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  04:06, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Warning
Hi, Hope you are safe there. If any new IP or Registered user had add any company website or other links to the external links section if presented on BLP on their first edit then what and which level of warning should we consider. Damak15 (talk) 09:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't know what you referring to. Surely you're not talking about this edit that I reverted? –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  10:04, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

, No I am not talking about your edit. My question is different see in my first message. Damak15 (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I see now. You would want to do the very lowest level since they haven't been warned before, and I'd consider using a welcome template if it is their very first edit. Something like Template:welcomevandal or Template:welcome-anon-unconstructive. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  10:13, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

, can we use spam1 or vandalism1? Damak15 (talk) 10:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * , Template:uw-spam1 would be perfect if they added an external link inappropriately. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  10:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

, For example if any new user add www.facebook.com in external links section on BLP then we would consider it as a spam1. Please give exact answerDamak15 (talk) 10:22, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, that would be considered spam under Wikipedia policy. And yes, it would be more than appropriate to use the Template:uw-spam1 on their talk page. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  10:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

If they did it on their second edits then which level of warning should we consider ? As they didn't receive any other warning level.Damak15 (talk) 11:03, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * It'd be helpful if you could tell me the username of the editor in question.
 * We would only bump the warning up from spam1 if they had already been warned before on their talk page recently. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  11:09, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

No username beacuse I have read WP:WARN and i want to be more clarify so i ask you these question is just example. It means we should give spam1, if they did it on 2nd edit as well but they didn't receive any level of warning. Thank you !Damak15 (talk) 11:21, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * If I'm understanding your question correctly, Damak15, generally, you should give level one warnings if there are no warnings posted on their talk page. There can be exceptions to this, such as if the vandalism is so serious it can not possibly be good faithed.  Just ' i ' yaya  11:36, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that none of your edits are automated, consider installing twinkle or redwarn for easy reverting and warning.  Just ' i ' yaya  11:38, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hope you are fine. This is my question If any new IP or Registered user had add any company website or other links to the external links section if presented on BLP on their first edit then what and which level of warning should we consider.Damak15 (talk) 11:43, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Ping @Damak15  Just ' i ' yaya  11:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

, Spam level 1 or vandalism1.Damak15 (talk) 11:48, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * @Damak15 Sorry about the late reply, but in this situation use Spam level 1  Just ' i ' yaya  12:02, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

No worries. If they did it on second or tenth edit then which level should we use. Damak15 (talk) 12:08, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * @Damak15 If there are no warnings posted on the talk page of the user, always start with a level one warning, then, every time you deside to warn the user, increase the level of the warning.  Just ' i ' yaya  12:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

, Lastly, If there is an vandalism in WP:MOS. In WP:MOS what type of vandalism we see.Damak15 (talk) 12:23, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * @: (My previous responce was probably too harsh) I don't really understand your question, are you referring to vandalism in WP:MOS, MOS violations are generally not considered vandalism  Just ' i ' yaya  14:32, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for my late response. If we don't follow the MOS rules, then it should be consider vandalism or not. Please clarify with strong reason.Damak15 (talk) 15:19, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * @Damak15 MOS violations are (in most cases) not vandalism  Just ' i ' yaya  15:22, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

, In your point of view, please tell me the cases where there is a vandalism. Damak15 (talk) 15:26, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Let me type some good sources, Ekdothinchaar (talk) 19:23, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Kalhana’s Rajtarangini A Chronicle of The Kings of Kashmir (Reprint 1979), Motilal Banarsidass 41-U.A, Bungalow Road, Delhi, 110007. Ekdothinchaar (talk) 19:32, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * So what is the maximum land area in square kilometers occupied, and where does the source state that? –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  19:41, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Bamzai Ekdothinchaar (talk) 21:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)


 * That's all very nice, but I don't have access to those sources and there do not have access to the information you want added to the article. Again, you'll need to state specifically the maximum land area (in square kilometers) occupied by Muktapida and in what year as supported by a reliable source. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  21:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for not answering your question, these state that Lalitaditya Muktapida’s empire was 8 million square miles. Which in kilometers is 12874752 square miles, and when rounding is 13 million square kilometers. Ekdothinchaar (talk) 21:26, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Now I will cite where I found my information Ekdothinchaar (talk) 21:41, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Method for alerting users about DS
Hi FormalDude, I've been bumping into your edits in a few places and I appreciate your good work. I saw you recently alerted some editors to discretionary sanctions, but all 3 were already technically "aware". I encourage you to check out the awareness criteria in full but here's my method: It takes a little bit of time, but is, I think, worth it to avoid confronting other users with redundant bureaucracy. As an aside, the whole DS awareness/alert system is deeply broken, and I'm hopeful a fix is forthcoming. 20:14, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, ! I didn't know what all counted as satisfying the awareness criteria exactly, I thought they had to be notified on their talk page, so I appreciate your explanation. I see where the users were notified now except for User:CycoMa, I'm still not seeing where they were already aware. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  20:24, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This January edit. The Gamergate DS got folded into Gender and Sexuality in February. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 20:31, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  20:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I hope this doesn't put you off of alerting in general. I've seen an ArbE case get turned down b/c the user wasn't technically aware and it's bizarre. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 20:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Not at all, if anything this gives me more confidence to do it correctly in the future. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲   talk  20:38, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Hi,, no worries! We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. I put some helpful information on your talk page that explains more.

Ahmed Yassin
Hi, I'm not sure I understand your reply to my request for editing Ahmed Yassin's page.

My request was basic: The page describes Yassin's village as having been "ethnically cleansed." This is not factually correct and the source was not reliable. One's position on Middle East politics is irrelevant here; factual representation of data is. The term "ethnically cleansed" has a very specific meaning and the situation that led to the exile of residents from that village simply does not meet the criteria nor definition of ethnic cleansing. Wikipedia is a place for facts, not opinions. Using a politically charged and inaccurate term does no good to either side in the Israeli-Arab dispute.

For the person who is pro-Palestinian, its inaccuracy destroys the credibility of any claim of unfair treatment, as the focus becomes shifted toward the misrepresentation, not the overall condition of the event. For the person who is pro-Israel, its inaccuracy is yet another thorn in the side of truth. For the person who is neutral, its inaccuracy is offensive simply because it is yellow journalism. Rewriting this sentence to state the facts--"The village was emptied by the IDF during the 1948 war*"--preserves the integrity of all three of the above parties, none of whom benefit from editorializing the situation.
 * It should be noted that there is ample historical evidence that, while al-Jura was, indeed, slated for destruction by the IDF post-capture of the town, its residents had already vacated completely. Common and well-known practice by the Egyptian and Jordanian armies was to evacuate the residents with promises of their being permitted to return after the ethnic cleansing of the Jews had been completed by the victorious Arab armies.

I would urge you, no matter which of the three aforementioned groups you ally with, to reread the sentence as written. Then, study the available historical facts, read the accepted definition of the term "ethnic cleansing," and decide whether you are, in fact, inserting bias, unintentionally or otherwise. TO not do so reflects poorly not only on the pro-Palestinian, pro-Israel, and neutral parties but on your credibility as well. Sincerely, David Feder DPBF58 (talk) 21:38, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you know a lot about this issue! I'm happy to clarify my response to your edit request at Talk:Ahmed Yassin.
 * The wording that you want to change, specifically "ethnically cleansed", is supported and verified by the following reliable source: https://books.google.com/books?id=0hm9DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT281#v=onepage&q&f=false. In order to change the text, we would need multiple other reliable sources stating that this was not ethnic cleansing but rather something else. Since you have not provided any other reliable sources, we cannot implement your requested change. If sources exist that support your requested changes, please provide them. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  21:48, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

My "Plan B" Summary
Hello,

You removed my summary of the film "Plan B" due to a lack of reliable sourcing. I was a bit confused as to what that meant, as I don't think I directly sourced any quotes or anything similar from the film in said summary. What should I change?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarrjack (talk • contribs)
 * Sorry for the confusion. I took another look at your edit and it is too long and wordy. Per WP:FILMPLOT, summaries should only be 400-700 words. Try to condense it down if you can please. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  16:57, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick review. Would you mind elaborating your view a little more? Do you think this article is not notable, or is it currently too promotional? I can see that it possibly has some unintended WP:PUFFERY, which I will clean up. Just so you know I am not affiliated with this subject in any way, other than being a person who has patronized it in the past. Appreciate any more feedback you can provide. –– 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲  talk  08:14, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
