Concerning "Siddharth Varadarajan" Page
Thanks for your concern about a potential conflict of interest. I am content to inform you that there exists no conflict of interest, commercial or otherwise, that would affect my minor edit of the page on Siddharth Varadarajan. Therefore it would be great if you could focus on any change in the content of the article, rather than on me. Thanks for your understanding.

Axomiya deka
Hello SpacemenSpiff, I saw message on Axomiya deka who I strongly believe socking around and involve in undisclosed paid wditing. I asked him some questions on my talk page but he is clearly ignoring and declined to answer and continuously asking to withdraw my nomination so is there any way to deal with him? Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:21, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

List of battles in the Indian subcontinent
Hi. Please keep an eye on List of battles in the Indian subcontinent (moved from List of Indian battles) which is steadily being spammed everywhere. I'm not entirely sure how to handle this. The editor responsible for its recent overhaul also appears to suffer from NPOV issues. Thanks.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 08:10, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * , watchlisted. I see that it's a mix of history and mythology, but eitherways, I'd suggest asking someone like or  to take a look as they also edit in the space. Also, an  for WP:ARBIPA is probably appropriate as this is covered. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  08:15, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Alert added. The editor in question has also contacted me which is good.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 08:46, 5 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I don't see the template for ARBIPA (or actually just any alert) on the user's talk page. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  12:44, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I added it to the article's talk page which is what I thought you meant. Bad idea? He's also now acknowledged some of the OR issues over there.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 12:59, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't see the article talk page, however, editors have to be alerted to sanctions on their talk page for any sanctions to be imposed later on, see WP:ACDS for the notifications required, an article talk page notification is only informational. Anyway, Kautilya routinely alerts editors to it, so he can probably help you on it. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  13:03, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Understood. Let's see how things go with the editor and take it from there.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 14:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I have watch listed the page. But I can't help too much, I am afraid., are you watching this page? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Sachin–Shoaib cricket rivalry
The article appears to be copied from sportskeeda.com and I have tagged it for speedy. Interestingly another user has been reverting my edits stating that "Copyright content could not be found" while its clearly still there. I have provided details about the copyvio at the article talk page, can you please have a look at it. Regards  Razer Talk 08:59, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Handled, cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  12:48, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

≈== Regarding placing "Final warning" on my userpage ==

Hi Spiff, I have contested the deletion of Webb National Wildlife Area. Have you gone through the Copyvio report? Please see my reply in the article talk page. I confess that I have done blunders in the past. But that should not lead to a prejudice against all of a user's future contributions. I am also learning and correcting myself. This threatening attitude is highly discouraging. coffeecup89 (talk) 17:23, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * , this is not the first time you were warned, your copyvios are an immense waste of our time and I have gone through all of it. The final warning stands as nothing seems to help with you! &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:31, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You have got a charming personality. I had responded to you very politely. After reading a message, if you feel frustrated, it would do you good to go outside, enjoy the fresh air and then come back and reply. Anyway, I have other things to do in life than to monitor Wikipedia all day long. So bye. Have a great day! coffeecup89 (talk) 17:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * , given your scant regard for our policies and warnings, as evidenced by your removal of the same without reading and continuing the same copyvios and plagiarism after that, I'm glad to see that you have other things to do than continue adding copyright violations here! Good bye! &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:53, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Arad
SpacemanSpiff: three questions:

1. My name is Michael, Arad's manager, and therefore do not edit his articles. Is it ok if I edit draft through WP:AFC?

2. Does the following notability specifics seem fair as to be incorporated within the draft:

Subject meets notability in following sections:

WP:GNG

Non trivial and objective coverage by reliable sources such as: ynet.com, Jewish Week, All About Jazz (article) and Israel Times.

WP:MUSICBIO (Although single section notability is sufficient, Arad meets notability in 3 different sections):

Section1: Multiple Reliable Publications:

● http://m.ynet.co.il/Articles/4182867 ● https://www.allaboutjazz.com/sketches-of-imaginary-landscapes-kobi-arad-self-produced-review-by-glenn-astarita.php?width=412 ● http://jewishweek.timesofisrael.com/for-jewish-artists-a-space-of-ones-own/

Section 7:

● Arad is a world-wide authority in the Third Stream style, as he is the first and only (as of 2012) musician to earn doctorate in the field.

Sources: - Letter from Dean of New England Conservatory of Music to Kobi Arad (dating 2012): https://issuu.com/kobiarad/docs/novak_letter - https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_stream - http://m.ynet.co.il/Articles/4182867

Section 9:

Arad participted in multitude of interviews which featured panel discussions, airplay and interviews in Israeli National Radio, IBA (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Broadcasting_Authority).

Sources:

- http://www.tunedloud.com/2017/07/05/kobi-arad-ellington-upside-down-as-a-musical-portrait-of-the-jazz-titan/ - https://issuu.com/zmiralu/docs/selection (Letter from Iba editor Zmira Luzki) - https://issuu.com/acum9/docs/5_7_1_ (BMI international airplay statements) - https://issuu.com/acum9/docs/9 (BMI international airplay statements)

3. In case the requirements are fulfilled (links are alive, and you find #2 satisfactory), are you going to be willing to assist in living the draft and unsalt 'Kobi Arad' article?

Thanks :=) Ee212 (talk) 23:16, 7 July 2017 (UTC)


 * , given the amount of COI editor involved sockpuppetry around this subject I"m not inclined to get involved here, you can post a note at WP:COIN to discuss this, but I would encourage you to be honest about the past problems. I'm pinging who has also had to deal with a ot of this in the past. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  00:31, 8 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the ping. I've commented on 's talk page. --Deskford (talk) 19:44, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Why do you delete Aheer page?
I am trying to add informations of my Aheer tribe which live in Pakistan.Eyery time when i add,some one deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mujahid.iqbal.aheer (talk • contribs) 12:01, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * , you can't just copy content from somewhere and post it here. Also, an article exists at Ahir, in addition, this page was deleted at WP:AfD. Please read through the messages and links on your talk page. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  14:51, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Then how can we prove that we the Aheer exist in Pakistan.Article about Ahir have not informations about Aheer tribe in Pakistan. It is a fact that Aheer is a caste.It was added in wikipedia but deleted due to unknown reasons. It,s not just an articla. It,s our caste.Our Identity. Mujahid.iqbal.aheer (talk) 18:03, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * You still have to meet our requirements at WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. Doug Weller  talk 18:24, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Why do you deleted short film theatre page?
shortfilm theatre is shortfilm distribution and short film festival organizing company, its first ISO certified company, i created this page by watching other pages, here giving one sample link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_Film_Project

Please tell me the reasons of deletion. Thanks wikibot 14:10, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You've already been given the reason on your talk page, and you've got to stop using Wikipedia as an avenue for promotion. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  14:14, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hi" @SpacemanSpiff, thanks for patroling wikipedia pages and article along with the fellow admins but i have some issue to talk with you  lately User:Lyndonbaines had been blocked for trolling and abusive use of the  account, but this user from Indonesia is  using IP Address again just to troll and delete sourced statements on the articles specially in Philippine area he had different IP i had identified his minions,(identified because of the same manners of trolling) some users had warned those IP's  i hope  their was a solution for this IP Guerilla the IP trolls must be banned out of wikipedia,  once again Regards  thankyou! (04:49, 16 July 2017 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasper0070 (talk • contribs)


 * I didn't block the account for trolling, I blocked it for doing the same thing logged out after being warned about it on the account. I have no idea about the content but I do notice that in some of the later IP changes there have been edit summaries, unlike earlier on, before the block. Please discuss it at the talk page(s) or check with editors like or  etc who can evaluate the content. If consensus is that the edits are disruptive then I (or someone else) can protect the pages as I don't think a rangeblock will be optimal over here. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  04:57, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Sandhya2012
Hello SpacemanSpiff, I just notice that after the expiry of ’s block s/he started recreating deleted article under different titles e.g. Sachin - The Ultimate Winner as Sachin The Ultimate Winner and more, I also doubt they are using a sock as well. User was registered couple of days back and made his first edit today. RS1 created Sandhya2012’s article Redrum - A tale of Murder using different title as RedruM - A tale of Murder same as Sandhya earlier tried Redrum (Movie) and it also looks like a exact copy of deleted article. They appear to be undisclosed paid editors who are now trying to recover their deleted pages so can you please take a look. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 18:54, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I got it now, but I think it may be beneficial for you to file an SPI, asking for a sleeper check etc, along with a list of the blocked socks, this is obviously a Paid COI farm. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  01:04, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Done and Sandhya already confirmed socking around in recent unblock request. Cheers – GSS (talk |c|em ) 06:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Sir I have noticed a person known as Shady59 giving inflated figures
I have noticed that a person known as Shady59 trying to give inflated figures for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kochi. This user constantly changes the area of the metro to 732 sq km. The real area of kochi is 440 sq km and is taken from a very credible source known as demographia, http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf. The user however gives another reference from GCDF which mentions the area as 732 sq km. But that area is not for the metro but a total area of 5 municipalities and 1 corporation and 33 other village panchayaths. 33 village panchayaths will never comes under an urban area and the only thing is that this GCDF is an agency which looks after the 732 sq km area. The report never mentions that the kochi urban area is 732 sq km. The demographia report clearly mentions it as 440 sq km. This user is trying to put inflated and wrong figures without any reference to the urban area.

Remove derogatory lines from Nair page
As per Wikipedia editors, they never consider the details of Raj era. Then may I know why derogatory information such as Polygamy, Hypergamy, Thallikettu kalyanam, sambandham etc are included in the page. Those were practices of Raj era. Take Wikipedia serious. Its not a place to put your views and suggestions. Either go with the rule that no old Raj era customs will be included or take consensus from other editors and add non derogatory customs and prides of these caste and elaborate the page. Apparently it look like few has taken the control of few pages like Nair, Ezhava etc and I have seen you using derogatory statements in Ezhava as well.

Remove the derogatory line in Nair article. ""These people were then distinguished from others in the local population by their occupation as protectors, with the others all being classed as out-caste. Pullapilly describes that this meant they "... were given kshatriya functions, but only shudra status. Thus originated the Nairs."" — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbrahamPP (talk • contribs) 11:39, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Competence issue - alert re: sanctions?
Please see User_talk:Panjikar. Do you think that justifies a sanctions alert? I think they probably meant well but it is possibly they're on some sort of crusade regarding Brahmins, bearing in mind they had difficulties at Goud Saraswat Brahmin a few weeks earlier. - Sitush (talk) 15:01, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Will check tomorrow, but I remember an account on Daivadnya and Goud Saraswat with similar problems earlier on too. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  16:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it worth handling ? Should I ask at WP:UAA? Johnuniq (talk) 23:08, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * , I would have if I'd seen it on time but luckily Ponyo got to it, it's a reincarnation of the farm around which was softblocked, but mostly a resurrection of the disruptive group from 2011/12. I'm going to rev delete some nonsense that I just saw, but it's the same crap from back then. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  02:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Immanuvel Devendrar
Given the history of disruptive editing and my recent rewrite of the sanitised Immanuvel Devendrar, I can pretty much guarantee this sort of thing is going to keep happening. Please can you keep an eye on it. Ta. - Sitush (talk) 05:53, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
