A note re TRAINWRECK
While TRAINWRECK outcomes at RfD are most common when someone bundles dozens of redirects together, they can also occur in smaller discussions if the nominated redirects are not sufficiently similar for the same solution to apply to all of them. In the case of Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2020_June_17, even though the set of redirects is small enough that we can expect editors to be able to properly assess each redirect, the ensuing !votes that recommend different actions for the different redirects can be a major headache to close properly. In this case I think I was able to come to a workable solution, but if there had been a few more votes the discussion could easily have become a no consensus mess. signed,Rosguill talk 21:10, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from NASA into Draft:Space program of the United States. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 15:49, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Dictionnaire des canadianismes moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Dictionnaire des canadianismes, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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 and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

WikiProject Aircraft
Thanks for signing up for this project. It is a very busy and active project with lots going on and we can always use more help and especially a fresh set of eyes. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch New articles (Aircraft) as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 14:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Issue created by dividing current consensus list into sections
Hi Soumya! Dividing Wikipedia talk:WikiProject COVID-19/Current consensus into sections created a table of contents. However, that table of contents is now being displayed at pages like Talk:Coronavirus disease 2019, causing a formatting error. Could you look into trying to fix the error? (And roll back the sectioning if it can't be fixed?) Also, the numbering for current consensus lists is supposed to be permanent, since they are referred to in edit summaries, etc. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 00:10, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Harassment warning
This is pure harassment. The reason you give for deletion is spurious, as the page is no more like an article than many other userpages. Did you see where Kautilya3, after introducing the principles of dharma and the Kautilyas, says "I hope to stand up for these values on Wikipedia" on the page? There are other personal comments too. You are not a complete newbie — you have been here long enough to know better. If you harass Kautilya3 again (or anybody else), you will be blocked. Bishonen &#124; tålk 08:55, 6 August 2020 (UTC).
 * I am not harassing him, I just do not like the user pages that do not have any WP-related stuff. See my user page, where it has sufficient amount of WP-related stuff. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 08:57, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's a very disappointing reply. Userpages are not required to be "liked" by you, or to be just like your userpage. Also, Kautilya3's page does have Wikipedia-related stuff; I even quoted some of it in my question that you have completely ignored ("Did you see where Kautilya3, after introducing the principles of dharma and the Kautilyas, says "I hope to stand up for these values on Wikipedia" on the page?").

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:User page blue rounded


A tag has been placed on Template:User page blue rounded requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Templates_for_discussion/Log/2020_July_12. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

My understanding of Wikipedia was formed both in the stated position of Wikipedia that: “Wikipedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents,” as stated in What Wikipedia is not. That “Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view” as stated in Five pillars. I appreciate the goal stated in Neutral point of view “that all encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.” See: Reliable sources. That as stated in Wikipedia:Reliable sources “Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant minority views that have appeared in those sources are covered (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view).” That this stated goal is to be achieved through “verifiability”; “In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source.” Verifiability. That what the Wikipedia is not is clearly stated in What Wikipedia is not. These are all goals I believe I have complied with in the article edits I have made. I also cannot ignore the fact that some other well connected editors in their superior status do not comply with these standards in that “verifiability” may be disregarded in deference to their opinions of what reality should be rather than is. Their ability to use Wikipedia as a “soapbox” for ill-verified or unverifiable opinions of what reality should be dominates. As the view of a few that they may overrule what any editor posts in compliance with a neutral point of view and reliable published sources, based only upon their personal whim of what reality should be, is found by Wikipedia to be superior to verifiable truth. Then I must accept that reality. Thank you Soumya-8974 for your invitation to contribute to Wikiproject Rocketry. As I do not believe that the Wikipedia shall treat my contributions based upon the principles stated in Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, nor Wikipedia: Reliable sources, and that some are not required to meet the standards stated in Wikipedia:Verifiability, and may impose their personal wishes in contravention to those principles, I must accept that. While I enjoy writing history I am not an egomaniac nor a masochist. I feel given the reality as opposed to the stated desires of Wikipedia I should decline further participation. Thank you.

List of languages by religion moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, List of languages by religion, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. I am not convinced that this is a valid list in Wikipedia terms and it appears to be your own original research. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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 and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Do not edit your comments in discussions after others have replied
Do not edit your comments in discussions after others have responded to them, as you did with your nomination statement at the National capital territory RfD. See WP:TALK for the full guideline, but in short the reason for this is that it can (and in this case did) deprive subsequent comments of necessary context and alter the meaning and/or implication of other's words. This is just as serious an issue as editing other users' comments directly. Thryduulf (talk) 14:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What should I do instead? I have slightly changed my mind regarding my nomination. --Soumya-8974 (he) talk con tribs sub pages 14:57, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * If you change your mind, WP:STRIKE it out. I have done this in the aforementioned RfD so you can see what that looks like. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:33, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Azad Kashmir map
Greetings,

You updated the map of Azad Kashmir at Commons saying it was "to be consistent with other location maps", but do you mind elaborating on which other maps used on Wikipedia depict Indian-occupied Kashmir as part of Pakistan? This one doesn't, for example (yes, it hatches the area, but that's not the same as colouring it identically to Pakistan-administered areas as you did). Additionally, I would note that the map description clearly states that it represents the "de facto situation", which your new version patently does not.

I would appreciate some clarification on this matter. Sincerely, M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 23:28, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Please learn how to bundle nominations
Adding multiple nominations that have the exact same rationale and target page is disruptive and inconvenient for other editors. You've been warned several times about this before. Please learn how to group nominations together as to avoid cluttering the log page where they're made, and it also prevents other editors from submitting redundant !votes on each separate nomination. <b style="color:blue; text-shadow:aqua 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em;">CycloneYoris</b> <b style="color:purple">talk!</b> 22:12, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. The Bushranger One ping only 07:11, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:UBX/CCP virus


Please do not create hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at User:UBX/CCP virus. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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.

 * While it is not prohibited to make such a request while blocked, there are some restrictions on responding to it. Editors willing to respond to this, are strongly advised to read and understand WP:PROXYING before acting. Mathglot (talk) 08:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Unblock me

 * I will boldly retarget redirects instead of putting them in RfD is severely missing the point of your RfD deficiencies. Boldness in retargeting should only be taken when a redirect is obviously not controversial, and I'm not confident you are familiar with when an action may be controversial. I will never express my racist view: I don't think I have ever seen someone admit they are racist on Wikipedia, so I'm actually impressed with that admission. That being said, I think it would be more convincing to show how you are working on resolving the underlying cause of the racism rather then a promise to simply not express these views. -- Tavix ( talk ) 17:55, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The issues with redirects are not solely nominating things at RfD that should be done boldly, making bold changes that should be nominated at RfD, proposing/boldy making changes that are not needed to be made and repeated misunderstandings of policies and guidelines despite them being explained multiple times. I would not be comfortable with you being unblocked without a topic ban from everything to do with redirects. Whichever admin chooses to review this unblock request should also consider the comments at AN/I regarding your contributions to the Kashmir topic area. Thryduulf (talk) 12:36, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
 * . Will re-appeal after 10 June. However, I am now contributing to other wikis, and watch whether my edits are disruptive after this block. --Soumya-8974 (he) talk con tribs sub pages 07:38, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
