Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Internet troll, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article.

Please use "edit summary"
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks!

Please provide citations when you add facts
Please could you take care to remember to add a citation every time you add a claim to an article, such as for the edit you just made to Mollusca. Adding claims without citations can give the misleading impression that new claims are covered by existing citations, as in your recent edit to Lophotrochozoa, or simply reduces the quality and reliability of articles. Since you clearly intend to improve the encyclopedia, be aware that citations are mandatory. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:59, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Panorpida
Hello, I am sorry to say that Elenchus maorianus does not belong in Panorpida. It belongs in the superorder Coleopterida. Sorry for reverting your edits. See Endopterygota for more info. - Prahlad balaji (talk) 20:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)


 * The Strepsiptera are of uncertain phylogeny, and you definitely shouldn't be changing things without either explaining what you're doing or citing reliable (and recent) sources, as older sources will likely be wrong. Probably, genomics will sort out these issues within the next few years; until that's done, changes are likely premature. The superorders you mention are proposed, not definite, so haring off and making changes is probably unconstructive. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:04, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anura. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:59, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Herb, herbaceous, etc.
There are variations in dialects of English in whether the "h" in words like "herb" or "herbaceous" is pronounced or not. In those dialects where the "h" is not pronounced in educated speech (e.g. most but not all of North America), "an" is used; in those dialects where the "h" is pronounced (e.g. the UK, Ireland, many other Commmonwealth countries), "a" is used. In the past there have been constant edit wars on some pages, with editors repeatedly changing between "a" and "an". To avoid this, it's always better to try to avoid the need for the indefinite article: use the plural ("... are herbaceous plants") rather than the singular ("... is a/an herbaceous plant"), use the adjective ("... is herbaceous") rather than the noun, or be careful about word order ("... is a bulbous herbaceous plant" rather than "is a/an herbaceous bulbous plant").

Copyright problems
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the iOS article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text—which means allowing other people to modify it—then you must include on the external site the statement: "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike".

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the Help Desk. You can also leave a message on my talk page. --Yamla (talk) 12:46, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

March 2018
Your recent editing history at Marshmello shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

Please participate to the talk pages consultation
Hello

Our team at the Wikimedia Foundation is working on a project to improve the ease-of-use and productivity of wiki talk pages. As a Teahouse host, I can imagine you’ve run into challenges explaining talk pages to first-time participants.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis – to ask questions, to resolve differences, to organize projects and to make decisions. Communication is essential for the depth and quality of our content, and the health of our communities. We're currently leading a global consultation on how to improve talk pages, and we're looking for people that can report on their experiences using (or helping other people to use) wiki talk pages. We'd like to invite you to participate in the consultation, and invite new users to join too.

We thank you in advance for your participation and your help.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lisa M. Overall
Hello Prahlad balaji,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lisa M. Overall for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Regarding your request for the PCR bit
Hi Prahlad balaji. I recently denied your request for the pending changes reviewer permission. As a courtesy, instead of posting what I was writing to that high-profile page, I'm going to post my reasons below. Pinging, who seems to have been involved earlier.

I took a look through your edit history, and to be honest, it confuses me greatly. You've made 2360 edits to your userspace, including hundreds of edits each to your userpage and to User:Prahlad balaji/Sandbox, most of which is nonsense history. Actually, most of your many userspace pages are undecipherable, such as User:Prahlad balaji/resloaosdjgodspaojuipzLOjibvcLZasldv,lkvcxs;.dn, bvcmkbcVXcm ,v./m, .z,./zxm,., User:Prahlad balaji/sandbox/editnotice/vdfddcsdfdeffweweds cxtrgfdfgrdfdsasdd.sandbox/idofglgoifgbogfkigujkl69iyot.js/koty,h;tgpfdidolohkyokl;ekgfldpsoipOI34ROIUTOGFPFsdgrgnj7C.kht.js/sx, and User:Prahlad balaji/sandbox/editnotice/vdfddcsdfdeffweweds cxtrgfdfgrdfdsasdd.sandbox/idofglgoifgbogfkigujkl69iyot.js/koty,h;tgpfdidolohkyokl;ekgfldpsoipOI34ROIUTOGFPFsdgrgnj7C.kht -- as just a few of many, many examples. Just one day before submitting this PERM request, in fact, you created pages like User:Prahlad balaji/69i9sdhjzkjdhukisjuioisjdsdxzytiufodkudfiokyujldfidfobv;bkllvhjngvlk, which would much sooner be speedied than used for encyclopedic purposes.

Of the four mainspace pages you've created, one was A7'd (this month), one was deleted as a redirect to that A7'd page, one was a disambiguation page and one is a two-sentence stub. As for your other page creations, most have confused me; barnstars, userboxes, and templates like Template:Humor absolutely do not need sandboxes or testcases, and the testcases that you've created don't seem to actually test the parameters of the template at all. Your last 50 mainspace edits take you back to October 2018, all of them minor edits and including many strings of tiny edits to pages that look like inflating edit count. There's no vandalism experience that I can see, nothing showing that you're very good at this kind of stuff as you asserted in your original request.

I can tell that you're interested in contributing, and I don't mean to put you off, but most of the edits that you've made so far have been quite disruptive in sum. If you're interested in contributing further, I'd recommend that you read some of the links in the welcome template left above. Since you've mentioned an interest in vandalism patrol, WP:CVUA may be a good option once you've gotten the hang of the place. Please don't make more pages with gibberish; I strongly urge you to request that they be deleted under WP:G7/WP:U1 (you can do so in response to this message), or I will have to send them to a deletion discussion. Let me know if you have any questions. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 20:54, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Kevin, I also had NO IDEA what to make of these pages, and their responses to my questions also didn't make sense to me. Drmies (talk) 21:18, 21 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Ok fine I'm sorry for what I did on those pages. I'll try to be more constructive from now onward. But I do have a question. How do I find a lot of vandalism? 'Cause most of the Wikipedia pages are clean. Please let me know. -Thank you, ◊ PRAHLAD Balaji 01:33, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't have the time at the moment to train someone on vandalism patrol, but if you're interested, consider WP:CVUA, where they help a lot of people get started on vandalism patrol. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 08:56, 22 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks. -◊ PRAHLAD Balaji 14:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, re: this edit, I'm a bit confused by the change of names, when most sources seem to indicate a character name of Vijay. If this is a situation where we're introduced to a character by one name, and a plot twist reveals to us that in fact they have a different name, then we should probably 1) start with the name we are introduced to and 2) make it clear in the plot prose that there is such a revelation. Currently, it's not clear why you made the change, particularly when you left "Vijay" in the cast list. Any clarity you can provide would be appreciated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:07, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you mean to delete your reply? Did you watch the Tamil version or a dub? This says Vijay, this says Vijay. This says Vinod. Needless to say, I'm quite confused. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:56, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

And, as I explained, this account is not blocked, so in a new unblock request you should follow the instructions I just gave you. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:05, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, looking at your block log, this account has never been blocked, so I don't understand why you say "I've been blocked many times in the past". Was that using a different account? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It appears it is your IP address that is blocked, not your account, and it has been blocked several times now - here is the block log for the IP address. You will need to make a new unblock request, using the unblock template just as you did above, and that will bring your request to the attention of admins (I might not be available to reply here myself, as I only volunteer here for part of the time). In that unblock request you will need to address the reason for the block, which is "Persistent addition of unsourced content". Finally, as you have an account, it would make communication easier if you always edited logged in rather than logged out as an IP address. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

 * This edit, for example, was made logged out. If you look at this page you can see all logged-out edits made from that IP address. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:50, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Fine, but that was made from my phone. Other than that, it's mostly made logged in. Anyhow, I want to be unblocked, not talk about when I edited from my phone. It also appears that even though my IP address is blocked, my user account is blocked with it.
 * Sure, I'm just trying to help you understand what happened. The reason Yamla blocked the IP address is because unsourced edits were being made, logged out, from that IP address. Yamla had no way of knowing it was you, User:Prahlad balaji, logged out. And yes, the block on the IP address will also prevent any logged-in account from editing. Anyway, your new unblock request is in a queue and hopefully someone should review it before too long. But before they do, I suggest you add to it with an agreement to never add unsourced content.

Your username is not blocked, but we can deal with the block on your IP address here. You are not blocked for vandalism and I don't think anyone has said your edits are vandalism, you are blocked for persistent addition of unsourced content. The addition of unsourced content is a serious issue that we can only grant you so much leeway on. Please tell me what problems there are with the statement "The SE 2 may already have entered mass production. Code in iOS 14 shows that there may be a regular-sized version and a Plus-sized version. It may start shipping before April 5, 2020." that you made. 331dot (talk) 15:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

This is the source: https://www.extremetech.com/mobile/308096-the-iphone-se-2-reportedly-enters-mass-production-iphone-12-delayed I have a source for everything. I just sometimes forget to add it, that's all. Please unblock me and I will give everything a source. -◊ <b style="color:#095">PRAHLAD</b> <sup style="color:#707">Balaji 15:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem is not just the lack of a source. 331dot (talk) 15:31, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I am the blocking admin of the IP address. I have no objections to that block being converted to anon-only, if this user demonstrates an understanding of WP:RS and WP:CITE and a commitment to abide by them and to avoid logged-out editing. I note that iPhone SE 2 is an inappropriate article at this time for very many reasons, WP:CRYSTAL being one of the most obvious. As always, admins are free to act as they see fit if they believe it appropriate to lift my block even if the conditions I lay out are not satisfied. --Yamla (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

I will never make predictions without giving a reliable source, and only talking about the present or past if there are reliable sources. I promise. Please unblock me.

- Yours, ◊ <b style="color:#095">PRAHLAD</b> <sup style="color:#707">Balaji 16:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

OK then, I will never make predictions at all, and I will only talk about the present or past if there are reliable sources. I promise never to do anything besides that. Please unblock me. -Yours, ◊ <b style="color:#095">PRAHLAD</b> <sup style="color:#707">Balaji 16:47, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Someone else will review your block; I would suggest that you stop pinging admins. I state again- no one as far as I can tell has called your edits vandalism or said you are trying to vandalize. You are not blocked for vandalism. But we will need more than your promise to add sources; I would suggest that you demonstrate a potential edit you would make with a proper source. Again, someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 16:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

OK then. I understand. I'll leave you alone :) -◊ <b style="color:#095">PRAHLAD</b> <sup style="color:#707">Balaji 17:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, you haven't yet demonstrated an understanding of WP:RS. For example, your unblock request asks us not to delete that article, but none of the sources fit the criteria of WP:RS. Indeed, I'd argue none could possibly fit the criteria at this time. Step back, read WP:RS, and give some specific examples of reliable sources with regard to Apple products. Note, and I want to be clear here, I expect you'll be able to do this! I expect you'll be unblocked. I'm just concerned that you are saying you understand WP:RS but haven't demonstrated this yet. And look, it'd be crazy to lift the block, only to have to immediately reblock you the next time you introduced uncited content or content cited with an unreliable source! Let's slow down and take the time to do this right. --Yamla (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

OK, I'll take the challenge.

 * Okay, look, this is good enough for me to extend good faith to you and lift the part of the block that was affecting you. You should be able to edit now. Please be careful, because neither of us (honestly, not you and not me) wants you to be blocked again. So, please make sure you cite all information with reliable sources, and avoid speculation, rumors, and guesses (even if those guesses are from other sites). It looks like this is your plan, and so you should be able to edit now! --Yamla (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Android 11
Why did you redirect Android 11 under WP:CRYSTAL with no discussion? We have had articles for pre-release Android versions before. Can you please discuss such controversial changes before doing them? ViperSnake151  Talk  17:15, 6 April 2020 (UTC)


 * OK ViperSnake. Just because you've done prerelease Android versions doesn't make it right. Now, here's some examples (not necessarily Android-related). Take iOS 14. That was redirected to iOS over WP:CRYSTAL without a discussion. Why? The leaks we have may turn out to be incorrect. Nothing can satisfy WP:CRYSTAL like a product officially being announced.

Cut & paste versus move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give System on a chip a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into System on chip. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. Pichpich (talk) 19:05, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, but if I try to move the article, System on chip, it gives me an error message that says, "Error: A page of this name already exists." -◊ <b style="color:#095">PRAHLAD</b> <sup style="color:#707">Balaji 21:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Right. But that error message also explains what you should do in that case which is to make a request at WP:Requested moves. As you might have seen, your cut & paste has been reverted and it seems that other editors disagree on what the title of the article should be. This was in fact discussed 7 years ago and if you want to change the title, you should probably start a discussion on the article's talk page and get a consensus for this change. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

OK, thanks. -◊ <b style="color:#095">PRAHLAD</b> <sup style="color:#707">Balaji 22:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

BCI Research Award page
Hello, Thank you for your attention to this page. I hereby post a request to you that is similar to requests I posted with other editors (with no reply). I respectfully ask your help to make the page both (1) accurate and (2) consistent with Wikipedia guidelines. I will work with you.

A fundamental problem with this page is that editors keep removing or deleting revisions based on assumptions that are incorrect. I have contacted them and received no reply. I ask for your help with this problem. Two examples from the page's edit history:

curprev 10:01, 18 April 2020‎ Justlettersandnumbers talk contribs‎ 4,431 bytes -70,256‎  rm a mass of content apparently copied entirely from its website, unsourced or ill-sourced, constituting an interminable list of apparently non-notable people (not one blue link among the recipients)

(1) There were sources, including external websites and a peer-reviewed publication from a highly respected independent scientific publisher, Springer Publishing. (2) In response to a prior edit that reasonably asked for related activities, I wrote a section called "Associated Events" with external events (including links). This was original content that I wrote, and a quick check would have shown that this text is not from that website. (3) The "non-notable" presumption is quixotic. A quick web-search would have shown that most people listed (jury members and award recipients) are experts with many independent publications. Presuming this just because there were no blue links without any objective effort to check on this is consistent with other edits that seem only concerned with presumed page propriety rather than making the page better (eg more accurate or better-linked).

curprev 11:13, 8 January 2020‎ Justlettersandnumbers talk contribs‎ 74,575 bytes -12,280‎  Reverted to revision 931121767 by Ceyockey: WP:COI/WP:PAID editors are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from editing the article directly, but may request changes using  on the talk-page

I have been paid by Springer Publishing as an editor/author for the book series about the BCI Research Awards, such as: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-05668-1_11. We do not receive royalties, just a small lump-sum payment for each book.

I was not paid to edit this page, nor any other page I edited in Wikipedia, notably many edits to the BCI page. I did so to inform the public about a rapidly growing field of scientific and medical research that is relevant to a growing number of people. The BCI Society and g.tec - the two entities that support the awards - have also not paid anyone. If my word is not sufficient, I could ask these entities to confirm via email. Or, please explain how to address this concern.

Thank you.
