Sock of Eswaran Naveen returned as as Sharika Thennal and Ravi chinthakayala reverting the film cast, removing content, and fact with sources. Top billing Jyothika. Heavily biased towards Jyothika.

@Nehansaxan, it would be better to take this to the SPI and file a report there. Ravensfire (talk) 19:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar with SPI. I need help with this sock consistently being disruptive now Nehansaxan (talk) 19:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Look at reports in the archive, read through the instructions and just try it. Yes, I know this sock is annoying, but it will be far faster if you start the SPI report. It will probably be at least tomorrow before I'll have much of a chance to do my due diligence and put one together. Ravensfire (talk) 19:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please be atleast aware or reply about what your page was written about[edit]

Excuse me, Mr. Ravensfire.. I do made a note here 15 days ago for someone named Nehasaxan, a huge fanatic of South Indian actress Meena Amma ( came to know by his edit history) keep mentioning me pointing making me as a sock or something like that..


I do make fair edits here... Not favouritism or fanatic edits...


That Nehasaxan brother is keep highlighting actress Meena Amma multiple times... is not a problem for me.. The thing is that why he keeps stalk me over someone edits his favourite artist page?? Stalking is not q good thing for me to support.. I just checked his edit histort today and found that he is a fanatic of Meena Amma. And a biggest hater of Actress Jyothika i guess ( understood only i came to know about his mentioning in your talk page)


Why you kept silent even i texted you 15 days back and only replying for him ( fanatic Meena Amma editor Nehasaxan ) Ravi chinthakayala (talk) 06:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I probably need to get more active on the SPI report, don't I. Ravensfire (talk) 13:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024[edit]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Muhammad Zubair (journalist). Warning: Cease engaging in edit wars and disruptive editing on Wikipedia. Your actions are disrupting the editing process and violating Wikipedia's policies. Continued behavior may result in blocking from editing. Please collaborate and reach consensus on article content instead. Sak7340 (talk) 13:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh, love it when an editor that's reverted (checking quickly) 5 times in the past few hours leaves a warning like this. Sure, let's see how this works out for you. Obviously, this is already at WP:EWN for your egregious edit-warring, you might also want to read Dispute Resolution page for some other ideas on handling your edits being reverted and work towards consensus.

Sock[edit]

@Maphumor is also a sock of @Srimonbanik2007 both of them edit mostly the same page. And Maphumor reedit the edits of socks after few time. Maphumor usually don't leave edit summary similar to that sockmaster. 223.239.116.16 (talk) 10:18, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@223.239.116.16 not buying that at all. Ravensfire (talk) 11:28, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]

Hello Ravensfire,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

April 2024[edit]

Conversation with a nationalist blocked as a sock puppet
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at The Ganges and Himalayas, you may be blocked from editing. Please refrain from reverting edits unnecessarily without reading the entire guidelines. It's permissible to add Indic languages in Hinduism-related articles, as stated in the guidelines. Additionally, consensus is not required as the guidelines already address this matter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 00:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDarkKnight433 Well done on the copy-cat warning! I'm quite impressed. Now, how about you actually understand the warning and recognize that you do need to follow the community guidelines here rather than just push your edit? Ravensfire (talk) 00:54, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How about you go and read the guidelines again? It's already well discussed and no need to dicuss further. Instead of poking in everyone's editing, atleast get a knowledge before just reverting it. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 00:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, stop the personal attacks. Not helpful. Second, understand that differences in opinion around this do exist, and the appropriate way to resolve disputes on Wikipedia is to discuss the edits and get outside consensus. WP:BRD. Ravensfire (talk) 01:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's quite ironic that you deem my actions as a personal attack. It appears that every suggestion I make is met with opposition and reversion. Take, for instance, the recent edits to the Abbas Ansari article. The last two editors other than me made significant changes without seeking consensus, yet I didn't observe any warnings issued to them. Let's ensure consistency and fairness in enforcing Wikipedia's guidelines across all contributors. TheDarkKnight433 (talk) 02:17, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Ganges[edit]

Hi Ravensfire, criticising another editor's posts is a delicate matter, but I think your post at Talk:Ganges is confusing. Immediately under TheDarkKnight433's post you start "That's basically my thought on this as well"; from the rest of your post, it appears you are agreeing with Jmcgnh's post, above TheDarkKnight433's post, but it initially reads that you are agreeing with TheDarkKnight433. If I'm misunderstanding your intent, or you think I am interfering, I sincerely apologise. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 10:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops - thank you for pointing that out! I'll tweak it slightly to prevent confusion. I appreciate you letting me know! Ravensfire (talk) 12:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Salman Khan section heading.[edit]

Hey we meet again.

You reverted my section heading on Salman Khan's section heading "Blockbuster run". This is the reason I gave earlier:

"Changed section heading to "blockbuster run". Because it hints at his back to back blockbuster films, the main highlight of this phase of his career. Also the previous heading "Resurgence and stardom" is misleading because Salman has had stardom since 1990s. So blockbuster run is more fitting"

What's your thought on this? Parminder Sarwara (talk) 10:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The prior version was more neutral and avoid the hype / puffery language of "Blockbuster". You may want to reach out to the film Wiki project for a larger audience to ask about this. I look at featured articles for highly successful actors that have wide readership. Some really good examples would be Elvis Presley but also Dimple Kapadia, Kareena Kapoor Khan as other examples of featured articles with relatively neutral (and yes, boring) descriptions. Ravensfire (talk) 14:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Parminder Sarwara (talk) 03:46, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Achha to tu ye bol raha hai ki section heading mein blockbuster likhna promotional hai, lekin stardom likhna promotional nahi hai? Ye kaha ka logic hai be? Ye to completely subjective baat hai ki stardom ya blockbuster run mein se konsi heading zyada promotional hai? Tu hota kon hai decide karne wala?
Aur tu bhi to ignore kar raha hai ki section heading mein stardom likhne se ye indicate hota hai ki Salman ko 2010 mein stardom mila. Jabki wo to 90s mein hi star ban gya tha. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 12:56, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
agar tu reply nahi kr rha to main section heading firse change kr raha hoon. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 07:33, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) @Parminder Sarwara: See WP:ENGLISHPLEASE. Sid95Q (talk) 08:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, this please. And honestly, let's take this to the article talk page, as this is about article content. Ravensfire (talk) 15:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't know how to do that. Guide me or something. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 13:51, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Go to the article, click on the link to the talk page for the article, then create a new section there just like you did here. Ravensfire (talk) 22:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sockish[edit]

User:DishonoredRighteous pretty much looks like a sock of User:Kichappan with common interests and editing style. 2409:4073:219F:ED5:140F:D300:2351:B52 (talk) 11:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
