2017 America East Men's Soccer Tournament
Hi, I believe the article 2017 America East Men's Soccer Tournament was deleted without there being a proper consensus, if anything, there was a slight consensus favoring the article being kept (I don't think a "rough consensus" is adequate for deletion grounds). I don't want to assume that it was a WP:TRIGGERED or WP:OZD deletion, but based on the arguments supporting a deletion, and the arguments supporting a keep, it feels that the article was deleted more so out of not liking the content or sources, without a thorough examination of the sources provided. If we can reach some level of agreement, or understanding, I will avoid taking the page through a deletion review. Thanks. Quidster4040 (talk) 16:59, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No, sorry. I've absolutely no axe to grind here; I don't give two hoots about US college football. The consensus was what it was: there were five keep votes, of which one wished to keep because otherwise the page would be a redlink, one who said they were unsure, and one who said it was because it determined an entrant into the division one championship. As such, these !votes cannot be given much weight, leaving a consensus to delete. There were substantive questions raised about both your sources and the guideline you were quoting, which you had not, in my view, answered well enough. In any case, I'm not interested in re-litigating the AfD here. If you don't like the outcome, you've got to live with it. If you think I read the consensus wrong, you can take it to DRV, by all means. Vanamonde (talk) 17:15, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a pathetic answer, and I will be going through with a nomination, you should feel very sorry. Quidster4040 (talk) 23:30, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * This ain't a battleground and how about assuming some good faith?! Winged Blades Godric 16:19, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! I did a bit of work on this page a few days ago, cleaning it up a bit, and just returned to do a bit more, but a lot of what I had done has been messed around with by another user (whose work you then partially removed). That users work reintroduced several errors including really bad grammar, peacocky language, various bits of incorrectly cited information ie, claims the subject died of a heart attack when newspaper reports clearly state lung cancer etc etc. I cant revert it without reverting you...I've only been editing a few months, so not sure if its good form to ask to revert you, or wether you can revert yourself or? I was going to try to take it back to this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mukul_Sinha&diff=prev&oldid=812672373 version. Curdle (talk) 09:32, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking. I've no problem if you revert me in this circumstance, and very few editors will have a problem with you going back to a "last good version", so long as that does not actually involve a revert of the content they added/removed. In this case, I was objecting to the stuff in the "controversy" section, which isn't present in the version you linked, either, so there's no issues. That version, though, could also do with some copy-editing. Vanamonde (talk) 13:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thankyou ! Uhuh it still needs going over some more,(some of the citations arent as good as they could be and a bit stretched, as well as more copy editing) thats why I came back to it- and it took a bit of work to get it to that state, which was why it was a bit scary to see it all gone. Anyways, reverted now, will work on the rest tommorrow as its late here now.Curdle (talk) 14:22, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

 * I think you guys completely missing the point/ trying to miss the point/ pretending to miss the point. The same text with same reasoning is not allowed on Zakir Naik page with reason that "article already has this info so why to add it in the lead". now when I am trying to apply the same logic "article already has this info so why to add it in the lead" then you guys being admins instead of helping me are trying to show that I am in a edit war? Is that the best you guys do seriously ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gauravsaral (talk • contribs) 18:36, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

and this Winged Blades  is reverting my changes with complete detail without giving any reason for revert. To be specific the messed up/ made up GDP info about Mughal empire. BTW you guys do understand that writing it on Wikipedia under fake names will not make it real. Right?
 * And, do you understand that your POV pushing ventures will lead to but an indefinite block?
 * As to the edit at Mughal empire, the data is about 1700s, not 1500s.So don't put up strawmans.Also, 17th century Mughal empire is approx. equal to entire India and much more.(I did not read the book in much details but will assume that, by India, the author refers to the synonymous Mughal span, for demarcating historical GDPs by current country boundaries would be pretty difficult.And, the source qualifies RS by a mile.

Howl's Moving Castle
Hello there.

Strange how this page isn't fine at all, but other movies (including the other Studio Ghibli movies) that have a long production section are fine. That is the reason why I keep edit warring your revision. Luigitehplumber (talk) 13:23, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am asking you once again to stop edit-warring, and join the discussion on the talk page, which I have started but you have ignored. You need to follow WP:BRD, and having been reverted multiple times, you need to obtain consensus on the talk page. Vanamonde (talk) 05:46, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

As long as you give me an answer to the question, I’ll leave the page alone. This answer is just an edit warring warning. Luigitehplumber (talk) 09:55, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am very intentionally not giving you an answer here. The place for this discussion is the talk page of the article, where I have provided my reasons. Why do you seem unable to enter a discussion there? Vanamonde (talk) 11:48, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

I don't know. I am just confused about why all the companies that worked on this movie cannot be listed on this article, yet other Studio Ghibli films and many other movies can still have them in. That talk page post was no help at all for me. Luigitehplumber (talk) 12:44, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Why do you insist on discussing this here, when I have told you, about six times, that the appropriate place is the talk page? Vanamonde (talk) 12:49, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

The original reporter's reason was a mess, I completely agree (this was my talk page warning to the user) and I'm surprised the report remained up long after the user ended their vandalism. Though later CR continued again and got a 31h block, so it's all null at this point.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:34, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm glad this user didn't cause too much further trouble. Please do realize, though, that even unsourced content is not necessarily vandalism. A user may upload and use an incorrect logo in perfectly good faith; and it is stuff like that which makes such a report less likely to be actioned. I know that if I had had less time, I would have let it go; because it was complicated more than it should have been. Just warn folks for adding unsourced content. We have twinkle templates for that. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 17:39, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Exactly, I was trying to salvage the report and AGF but Mvcg seems to have a hair-trigger about vandalism, but since I'm not an admin I really can't remove their report and can only augment what I'm seeing. I would have just continued the manual talk warnings myself before an AIV report.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:43, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Vanamonde, would you mind rephrasing your comment at AE? Apparently the way you have phrased it made it sound like I intentionally moved your section from the section for uninvolved administrator to the section for involved parties, which wasn't the case.

Back again Comment
Happy to see you return, Could you take a look over List of Presidents of India to check if it meets the FL criteria. I have made some gnome like edits today and feel that it may be okay for FL. Best wishes for your renewed admin term-  06:21, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not particularly well-versed with FL criteria: I've never taken an article through the FLC. That said, this generally looks very solid. There are a few issues that should probably be addressed. There's a few grammatical points in the lead: I'll try to fix these later today or tomorrow. There are some unsourced bits in the "Notes" section of the table. The map you use is the Indian government map of the country, which Wikipedia generally avoids: it should use the de facto map, depicting Kashmir in the manner in which the territories are actually administered. The first Dalit President and the first Muslim president are probably worth mentioning in the lead, though that's more a matter of judgement. We should absolutely not be conflating the BJP and Janata Party candidates. They were distinct parties with distinct agendas. It is true that a faction of the JP later became the BJP, but that faction was previously the Jana Sangh: the Janata Party was a coalition, with many members, including INC factions. I also do not see why acting presidents should not have party affiliation colors, even if they are independents. Finally, I wonder if we could use colors that are easier on the eyes; the blue, in particular, is very harsh. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 07:10, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I have sourced the unsourced statements, made the Colors neutral and added a pie chart .The picture of the India map is not replaceable as there exists no other survey on those lines. Also acting president is a person who becomes president in the absence of the actual Since he does not participate in elections I have decided against including their party Colors. I also have seperated the Janta Party and BJP. Please take a look at it -

 11:38, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The sourcing changes look good. In general you could afford to trim the bios a little bit, though that's more a matter of preference. There's also some slightly undue weight in Kalam's bio; it's a lot more like journalese than the others. Finally, the map really is going to be a sticking point. It shouldn't be that difficult; the data are all there in the current image, all you have to do is create a new one with the outline adjusted. If you're uncomfortable working with images, as I am, there are folks who can help. Vanamonde (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

G5
I went ahead and G5'd 1996 Dausa blast given that similar actions on another article led to a topic ban from the area for the editor who was trying to take responsibility for the edit. I don't believe that was the case at the time that I declined it, or else I wouldn't have done so. I think that changes the circumstances, and is enough to justify a G5. Thanks for the ping. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:20, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. My tag was based on long experience with the nonsense churned out on South Asian topics by sockfarms, but I understand your reasoning, and I do appreciate that CSD requires a very cautious approach. Cheers, Vanamonde (talk) 14:25, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I respect that, and it makes sense. I'll do the same with UPE farms when someone who isn't familiar with the area declines a G5. I probably am over cautious in implementing G5 deletions myself, because I fall on the more liberal side when it comes to tagging. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:28, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Thank you, there is very little that i think is needed to sort of complete the lead. Mostly done in my last revision.  Vedant  Talk  15:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Chances
Since I cannot make my mind up, what are the chances of Sukhabodhananda at an AfD? Winged Blades Godric 17:35, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * After a quick search, I don't think he is notable, though he gets a lot of news hits for being a blogger for a mainstream newspaper or two. The sentence in the article does not confer notability in my view. Honestly I'd have tagged it for CSD#G11 before the cleanup, since the major contributors have an obvious COI (I'd warn them, btw, if you haven't already). As it stands now, the page is borderline: it could go either way at AfD. If you do send it there, include a detailed analysis of the sources that at a cursory glance might confer notability (but do not actually, as many are written by him).

Undiscussed page move
Hi, any chance of reverting this? I can't do it but the move is undiscussed and, as the article makes clear, there are numerous spellings of his name. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 09:24, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

ABVP has a record of its office bearers since 1949 and that has been shared in the more presentable table, I am amazed why that is deleted but a similar table of Congress the opposition party is kept untouched. It's partiality on part of the some editors ~ashishsainram
 * Ashishsainram, what are you getting at? There's no table of Congress Presidents, let alone all office bearers. There's a list of BJP Presidents, but it exists as a separate article. The page about the Congress youth wing, the NSUI, doesn't have a list of office bearers either. I cannot see what "partiality" you are referring to. Furthermore, the "list of office bearers" is quite superfluous; anything other than a list of Presidents is definitely superfluous. Vanamonde (talk) 11:31, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Wikicup
Writing my message on my talk page here in case you did not receive my ping. I think the bot only added the bonus points for the article, not for the DYK (5 bonus points, I believe) and its creation back in 2004. Do kindly verify it. Thank you. — Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 09:41, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look. Vanamonde (talk) 10:41, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The reason you didn't receive DYK points is simply because you didn't submit the DYK, but more importantly because you wouldn't be eligible for those anyway; that DYK ran in 2004 and you were not responsible for putting it there. To receive DYK points, you would have to nominate an article for DYK during this competition. Vanamonde (talk) 11:04, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh I see. I'm new to the Wikicup, its my first time. So, still getting the hang of things.  —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 16:39, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries. Let me know if you have further questions. Vanamonde (talk) 16:44, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Will do so if any. Thanks. —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 06:07, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Image help
Could you please take a look at this FAC and please help me out with the fixing the points raised in the image review(Like which template should be added to the images, how the FUR(I don't know what is FUR) should be expanded as I have no idea how to deal with images).Thanks — FR&trade; 03:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look, but I'm afraid I have a lot of trouble with images too. FUR is "Free Use Rationale"; essentially "Here's why can we use this image on Wikipedia". And fair warning, you're going to have trouble with that, because a lot of folks who upload images outside the Anglosphere do not have the know-how to do so with a Wikipedia-compatible license.
