User talk:Yahya/Archives/2021/September

Rollback granted
Hi Yahya. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AYahya enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — Wug·a·po·des​ 03:03, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Suggestion for an Article
I am a student and I am doing a group project, I saw that you have edited our page (Rocca di Manerba del Garda), I would like to ask you if you have to check our page and give comments and help us to improve it. Thank you Milan20MA (talk) 08:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Your message on N K Singh
I saw you removed my edit on N K Singh. My source was the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Airlines_Flight_814, which I had added. It clearly says:

Later, it was revealed that there were efforts by ex-RAW chief AS Dulat and others to cover up the real motives of why the plane was not immobilised and why there were no commando-operation to neutralise the threat. The RAW officer named Shashi Bhushan Singh Tomar, husband of Sonia Tomar, was boarded on the plane, who was a brother-in-law of N K Singh, secretary to then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and he ensured that the plane would be let off and no commando operation would be carried out to ensure his brother-in-law's safety.[17] According to RAW officer, ..

If you are questioning my edit, you should question the IC 814 wiki too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:10d:c090:400::5:1dda (talk • contribs)

Madaripur Government College moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Madaripur Government College, is not suitable 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.
