 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.

Important Notice

Need your attention against Chinese revisionism
I had read your requested move proposal on Talk:Annexation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China. You need to focus more on this topic including articles about the Yuan dynasty. Checkout these articles Tibet under Yuan rule, Manchuria under Yuan rule, and especially Mongolia under Yuan rule. That is ridiculous. How can it Mongolia under Mongol rule???????? Since the Yuan was a Mongol state. Why did they miss out China under Mongol (Yuan) rule?????? The article Korea under Yuan rule had been renamed to Goryeo under Mongol rule.

My proposal is that u should request a deletion of "Mongolia under Yuan rule" or merge it with "Yuan dynasty". As for 3 articles, you should create a requested move proposal to Tibet under Mongol rule, Manchuria under Mongol rule. Why? Because these countries were already conquered by the Mongol well BEFORE the proclamation of the Great Yuan. We should use a general term for the whole period. 2605:6000:1802:8BCC:95E:D421:755A:4085 (talk) 23:36, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Ali Ashfaq
Hello!

If you are interested and if you know where to look (databases), because I don't, perhaps you can continue the stats with clubs on Ali Ashfaq's infobox? His stats there are until 2016, and the ones in the clubs' table under "Career statistics" section are until 11 November 2018. I am asking because I am also curious to see how close he is to 500 goals, which would be a huge feat if reached, since he will become the first (recorded/supported by stats) Asian player to do so. Until 1 January 2021 (see IFFHS source here) he had 465 goals, a list which doesn't though include those with the Maldives U23, so +2 goals more (the total goes to 467), and +4 with the national team since then the total will be 471 without the goals in club level since 1 January 2021 until now.

If it helps, the list of players with 500 or more goals used to also have active players with 400 or more goals, which was later made only for 500 or more, and you can see there (hyperlink here) some (or all, don't know) of his numbers until Club Green Streets, i.e. until 2019 or 2020, which are missing from his WP clubs' table, definitely though those are before 2021, as, even though it says April 2021, based on IFFHS's source, there should have at least 467 there.

If you can continue the stats, please do so, for football's sake.

Kind regards!

Lorry Gundersen (talk) 00:05, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Anshul Jubli moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Anshul Jubli, is not suitable as written to remain published. An article needs more information and citations from reliable, independent sources to remain in the mainspace. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, has suitable content and thus is ready for mainspace, click the button atop the article.

Unexplained reverts
Please refrain from such edits, will not be considered as good faith. Your recent edits at the List of international goals scored by Sunil Chhetri are unexplained. Drat8sub (talk) 11:37, 15 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Why have you removed the win-loss colour schemes in the table? It's already there in Ronaldo and Messi's list of international goals. Before making major changes you are supposed to talk it out with other editors. It took me a great effort and time to add that in the table. Please value the time, energy and dedication other editors go through to contribute here in Wikipedia. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 11:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Colouration is not good. This article is also for the colour blind people. This is for whole community. Colours in Messi and Ronaldo pages were edited later on, these are not the original versions of FL. Are you an expert in colour usage for colour blind people? I don't think so. Keep the article simple and clean, no need to give ornamentation, it's serving its purpose best without the colours. I appreciate your effort, but did you discuss the same before adding? Drat8sub (talk) 11:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There are thousands of article on Wikipedia with similar colour schemes. Is it going to be removed everywhere? Also the inline links and references in Wikipedia articles have blue coloured highlights. How is it helping colour-blind people? — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 12:05, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Those 1000s of articles you are talking about are not the featured ones and the good ones. As I said if any coloration is in place in a featured article or good article either they are put in place later on or if during nomination then, are followed according to color using guidelines. And colour background of win loss things in Messi Ronaldo articles are added later on. Secondly, citations color that is blue is visible to color blind people due to white background, where as in the article you are coloring the background itself. I don't know why is it hard for you to keep the article clean and simple, it's after all serving its ultimate purpose, is not it ? Does the coloration changing or adding any new purpose? I don't think so. Drat8sub (talk) 12:24, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you going to remove win-loss colour scheme from the international goals articles of Ronaldo and Messi too? — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 15:36, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Do I have to? No, I don't have time for this, there are lot more lists other than Messi Ronaldo which don't have coloration, I would suggest you, if a list is promoted to FL after lot of discussions, corrections and consensus, please respect that consensus and effort. I came to wikipedia after two years but, left aside the colouration, seeing the condition of the article I felt disgusted it was no where near to the original FL status, a lot of changed in the boxes, not following MOS/MOS:TABLE, no proper citations, I had to revamp it to the FL version. You have been associated to India football project for years now, you could have revamped much earlier rather than coloration thing. Since you are passionate about this articles, and if only you are interested then ping me to work on a project that I'm working and thinking of making it a FA and would love if you want to contribute.

Edits to Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed
Hi! I notice you've been adding a section on state honours to Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed which is currently a Good Article. The first edit had deleted a portion of referenced information from the text. The second edit has made an unsubstantiated claim. Besides, the value addition in adding a table in the article without any new information or sources is questionable. I have reverted both the edits as they appear to be disruptive. Ashwin147 (talk) 13:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @Ashwin147, I don't think adding a table for state honours is a "disruptive" behaviour, it makes article neat and in order. Also the reference is the same as above so its not an "unsubstantiated" claim. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 17:51, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Spelling changes
I see you made several page-moves today that slightly changed the spellings. On my watchlist were: In neither case did you explain why. In both cases, all external links and cited refs in each article use the original spelling. What is your basis for these changes? DMacks (talk) 13:05, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Premchand Rangshala → Premchand Rangashala
 * Bhartiyam International School →Bharatiyam International School


 * Spelling correction, alternative spelling. Sometimes articles can have misspellings too. "Bhartiyam" is suppose to be the correct Sanskrit word "Bharatiyam". — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 15:05, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Flags?
Hello Hemant. I wanted to talk to you regarding the countrydata templates of the States of India. I understand that no Indian State has an official flag but then what is the point of a countrydata template existing then if the flag would be the Indian national flag for all the states. The template would most likely be used articles such as physical features where the states is encompasses would be listed along with their flags below the country (India) or in district or town articles where the country is listed in top and after that the first level administrative division or in this the Indian State pr UT. There would be no point of a countrydata template if it would be just the national flag in each state. Because of this most articles use Template:flagicon image instead. I apologise for make so many changes without having a discussion first, but I hope you understand the situation. PadFoot2008 (talk) 05:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * National flag of India can be used for states/union territories in those articles/list/tables where it's appropriate to show the subnational flags. If using it feels like spamming the Indian flag everywhere then I'd recommend to not use flagicon templates where it's not really needed. I created these country data templates for Indian states and union territories in line with other subnational flags of the federal nations (and some large unitary states like China) for the purpose of comparison and parity. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 07:35, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Gopichand Thotakura ‎
Hi good morning! Thanks you all the good work you have been doing. I noticed that you have changed the draft to Draft:Gopichand Thotakura. In Telugu names, the sirname comes first, as my bame is Bodapati David and actually, not David Bodapati, as is usually referred to. I have not reverted it, but thought I will bring it your notice. thanks and regards, Davidindia (talk) 05:21, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Davidindia: You are right but news outlets have covered his name as Gopichand Thotakura, and going by Wikipedia Protocol (see WP:PRIMARY) the popular name referenced in the citations is used as the name for biographical articles in English Wikipedia. For example: Shinzo Abe (in Japanese naming custom surname Abe is used first but most English news coverage publish his name in accord with western naming custom Shinzo Abe). — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 05:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Page moves
Hi. When moving pages, please state a reason in the edit summary. For instance, it is not known to anyone except you why you've decided to move NTR district to Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao district and a majority of page moves. Thank you. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay I'll state the reason. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 08:33, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If something is reverted, please follow WP:BRD. This includes page moves as well. From WP:RMUM - Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. (bolding not mine). Please get familiarised with our policies again. I've put up RM on the talk page, which in practise was to be done by you. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:53, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi Hemant Dabral... looking at your contributions, I'm seeing a very large number of undiscussed page moves, and many of them look controversial to me. Per the above advice, please stop moving pages unilaterally and use the process at WP:RM to request page moves. Thanks &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:09, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I do. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 10:12, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the change in the name of the article "Scheduled Castes in Punjab"
You have changed the name of an article from "Scheduled Castes in Punjab" to "List of Scheduled Castes in Punjab". Please change the name of this article back to its previous name because that page not solely for the list of names of different scheduled castes in Punjab. That page mainly focus on the other factors related to them, for example their history, social and economic conditions, etc. As for the list of the names of all the scheduled castes in Punjab another page can be made that focus mostly on the names and their links. Balrajsingh776 (talk) 13:17, 19 June 2024 (UTC)


 * True. @Hemant Dabral Have you looked at the article moving? — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 14:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Balrajsingh776 and DaxServer, the reason I moved it to the "List of Scheduled Castes in Punjab" is as per WP:CONSISTENT with other lists of scheduled castes from different states. I think their history, socio-economic conditions and their named list all can be adjusted under the new title until the seperate page for the list is made. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 14:54, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I understand you, but this page does not lists the names of all scheduled castes. For listings the names and their links a new page can be created, whose link can be added at the top of the demographics section of this page. Also, listing all the names of castes along with the other information like history, economics, etc can also make the view of the page look bad. Moreover, the title can mislead the people into thinking that the page only contain the list of names of the castes organised in certain way and not other information like history, economics, etc. Balrajsingh776 (talk) 15:05, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Balrajsingh776 Okay I'll move the page back to its previous title. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 15:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. Balrajsingh776 (talk) 15:54, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi. When moving pages, please state a reason in the edit summary. It is not known to anyone except you RWILD  ✉  03:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Post move clean up.
I have seen you moving lot of pages without doing the post move clean up. After moving a page, you should be prepared to perform a number of resulting clean-up tasks. Two of the most commonly required actions are updating the article's prose to reflect the new title and updating navigational templates to wikilink directly to the new title. RWILD ✉  09:57, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Hindu Vidya Peeth. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 14:00, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

List of post-nominal letters (India) moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to List of post-nominal letters (India). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 10:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)


 * , If that's your rationale, then move all lists of post-nominals to draft whichever doesn't have source. Not only this one but you'll have to move Brunei, Italy, Jamaica, Rhodesia, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago and Zimbabwe's post-nominal letter lists to draft as well. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 12:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't believe any of those articles are appropriate for draftification because they're too old. It's not an excuse for an editor of your experience to publish an article with zero references just because others before have done the same. Please see List of post-nominal letters (United Kingdom) as an example of a referenced article of this type. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 12:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * So there's no standard rationale moving this one to draft list as well right. Then just restore it to its original space. What makes an article relevant? References right? Then why not move them all, why specifically targeting this one? — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 12:48, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Per WP:DRAFTIFY articles should only be moved if they have been created in the last 90 days, hence the move of your brand new article with no references. Please do not attempt to bounce this issue off onto other articles. You have created an article without any references and that's on you. Any newly created article needs to have sufficient referencing to demonstrate the notability of the topic and provide verifiability to the reader. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 12:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm simply asking you that how can you prove the relevance and notability of these other unsourced articles, if citing references is the only criteria here. In case someone's unsourced article lasts for 90 days it becomes self-referenced article? You know that in most cases a list article doesn't have to have references because it's just a short trivial compilation of linked articles that are duly sourced themselves. There exists many such list articles on wikipedia.
 * I'll try adding some references anyway for this one to put an end on this debate. But I still don't understand that how these other unsourced articles went unnoticed for a long time but mine was reviewed quickly. It seems to me that there's no standard procedure for listing an article to deletion or moving to draft, editors just do it arbitrarily based on their choice and subjectivity. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 13:22, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The unfortunate nature of Wikipedia is that everything is done by volunteers donating their free time, and sometimes articles slip through. It's not perfect. I'm not attempting to punish you and ignore others, but the chance is here to improve this article and it's worth taking. Please feel free to move the article back to mainspace when you've included some references. RE the difference between AfD and draft, I personally tend to draftify any article that has problems but clearly has promise, whereas AfD is for those articles that are clearly going nowhere and would not benefit from attempted improvement. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You're welcome to nominate articles for deletion if you'd like to @Hemant Dabral, but this, to me, is a pretty clear cut case of a good draftification. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
