Regarding an article
Hi mate, please go through this article Babu Gogineni. This article is looking like self-promotion and need to be deleted. What is your opinion on this. -  MRRaja001  (talk) 08:39, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You are right. I'll file a PROD. Thanks - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:21, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay. -  MRRaja001  (talk) 09:56, 17 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Mate, what happened did you go through that article? Are you raising PROD or Afd? -  MRRaja001  (talk) 10:13, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I completely forgot. I'll raise it today, after I complete checking my watchlist. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:27, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay Mate. -  MRRaja001  (talk) 10:30, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Well, I drafted a PROD, but it got rejected, on the grounds of a previous XfD resulted in a "Keep". See disussion. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:10, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, so what can we do now. Are there any other options? -  MRRaja001  (talk) 16:30, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I thought it would be an uncontroversial PROD, but it turned out to be some sort of a 17 year old battle between the creator of the article and his malicious doppelganger. AfD is the way, but it would be much more difficult since the previous AfD from 2006 was thwarted and the subject was deemed notable then, he would much more now. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:46, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * What is your opinion mate. Shall we raise Afd or leave this. I feel he's not much notable to be on Wikipedia. He just retired or resigned from that IHEU organisation which they're telling as notable as Executive Director, even the some present board of director's and present CEO of this organisation don't have articles in their name on Wikipedia mate. -  MRRaja001  (talk) 00:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Let's see. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Bringing back
Hi! A certain webpage used to have some contents. It was cited as a source in wikipedia. After that, some months later, the content in the webpage was removed (probably by the webpage creator or someone else). Is it possible to bring the content back by using archiving webpage or any other method? Haoreima (talk) 15:15, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * May be done using wayback machine if any of its versions were archived in the past. Can you link the source here? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:02, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * In the past, it used to cite number of speakers and other useful information. --Haoreima (talk) 16:18, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Ethnologue changing its layout has become a huge problem. I believe this archive from September 22, 2018 will serve the purpose. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:23, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I see the above archive uses 2001 census. This one from July 24, 2019 reflects 2011 census figures. So it would be the most updated. Post 2019, Ethnologue started locking their articles. Though I'm registered, but that doesn't help with the recent archives which are all locked. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the archived links. These will help us a lot. Btw, for doing all these (not just to Ethnologue but to other webpages as well), do we need any app or any software offwiki or onwiki? Is this wayback machine offwiki or onwiki? Haoreima (talk) 16:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It is off wiki (Wayback Machine). The archive links should be added using 'archive-url' and 'archive-date' parameters withing the CS templates, if not using CS, then webarchive template should be used within ref tags. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the info. I will ask you if I have any doubt further. Haoreima (talk) 17:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, regarding this section, although you seem to have arranged the regions alphabetically, I believe India, especially Manipur should be emphasized, that is mentioned first and then expanded since that is the native region. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure. Haoreima (talk) 18:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Any idea
What do you think regarding this: many people want to rename Churachandpur as Lamka (called by the local tribes). So, they tried some attempts to move the article title. When failed or moved back to the original title, one created a page Lamka, and redirected the "Churachandpur" to the new page. Officially as well as popularly, it's still Churachandpur.

Do you think the page Lamka deserves AFD or RFD or anything else? Haoreima (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Cut paste moves like these are not allowed. Churachandpur is the wP:COMMONNAME. Lamka is clearly a redirect/another name of the place, so deserves a WP:CSD. And that user,  has crossed paths with me before for his ethnic POV. I've changed many of his insertion of "Naga" to "Indian" according to WP:NATIONALITY. He has obviously made quite a lot of fork articles for Nagaland settlements. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That user was once blocked for sock puppetry and unblocked and again blocked temporarily which was automatically unblocked. The second block was because of his disruptive editing in page Dzuko Valley, continuously removing Meitei terms (for being Manipur's official language), and also removing the fact that Dzuko valley is a part of both Manipur and Nagaland, to claim it as only Nagaland's territory.
 * Similar type of edits were done in later times by many newly created accounts in the same page, for which there's an open case in Sockpuppet investigations/The Anonymous Earthling
 * He has numerous list of vandalism and disruption in wikipedia edits.
 * According to your observation and experience, do you think WP:BLOCKREQ is needed?
 * Haoreima (talk) 15:55, 11 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I've seen accounts getting perma-banned for a single sock edit. Anyway, you can report them at WP:ANI. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:15, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I saw that user got blocked for sock puppetry. I saw in his move log that he had been engaged in massive level page renaming specifically against WP:COMMONNAME. He had been warned by other editors multiple times in the past but he did what he wanted. I have recently reverted a few of his moves like those in Senapati, Manipur, Kangpokpi, etc. Another editor reverted his move in Chandel district and Chandel, Manipur. When you have some free time, please check on those logs if there's any further violation of page renaming policies. Haoreima (talk) 11:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Red warning
Recently, i added a quote on Cheddi Jagan. But it triggered a red notice there. Can you fix it. Also see similar citation error on Satcam Boolell. Admantine123 (talk) 19:56, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Admantine123 ✅. :-) --Haoreima (talk) 21:51, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
