Please be aware

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

I understand that you are upset but you do need to be careful editing in the caste etc topic areas, and calling people names will not help you. Please do take note of the information above, calm down and try not to flood the talk page with so much information that it puts people off responding. Wikipedia works on the basis of consensus, so if you don't get any responses at all then you have little chance of seeing any changes made to the article as a result of your comments. The Raju article has already been the target of sockpuppets and caste warriors on quite a large scale and that also makes regular contributors somewhat jaundiced when it comes to dealing with it. - Sitush (talk) 02:00, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Please also note that this type of misleading edit summary is not going to endear you to people. You didn't "correct" the year of birth but rather removed what appears to be reliably sourced, relevant information and inserted some completely different information that has everything to do with caste claims and nothing to do with year of birth. - Sitush (talk) 02:28, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I agree that editing Alluri Sitarama Raju was a mistake. And I won't repeat that. But I want to know why you are restricting Raju article? When there is a consensus among Government, Courts, Academics, Media outlets, why do you have to keep reverting the edits? Are you from India and from Andhra Pradesh? Do you have any first hand experiences about these communities? When a great Historian like Kumar Suresh Singh calls Rajus Kshatriyas, why doesn't that find a mention? And why is it that you have to decide which reference should be used in the article? Why do you only have the right to push your POV as opposed to others POV? Are you the owner of Wiki? I am asking out of curiosity. And I never called anyone names. It is really frustrating that even after providing many references you just keep ignoring them. BTW who are these admins? Are they historians? Sharkslayer87 (talk) 02:41, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I haven't vandalised anything. U better be aware of what edit i have done. Cyber bullying is not good Mahadilipmaha (talk) 20:17, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

• @Mahadilipmaha: I apologize for the warning. I mixed someone else for you. That warning was not for you. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 20:36, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

The Wikipedia community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups.

Raju

Hi, I am not even going to try understanding your latest post at Talk:Raju. You are writing walls of text (48k characters in this instance) and I am unable to cope with it. It is obvious to me that you are from the Raju community and here to push a point across various articles relating to them. Given that, I already know that I will never convince you that there may be a need for compromise on your position, regardless of how many sources and explanations of Wikipedia policy regarding synthesis etc I may give you. Good luck in getting someone to respond to what you have just written there - I did tell you previously that you're bombarding the talk page in a manner that is unlikely to be productive. - Sitush (talk) 22:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I have replied to your latest post at Talk:Raju. I remain concerned that you are being overly aggressive in trying to impose a very one-sided point of view. - Sitush (talk) 21:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

Your addition to Aravidu dynasty has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

• Furthermore, you are pushing the "Andhra Kshatriya" thing at this article and various others. You've had this explained to you in the past. Sitush (talk) 21:18, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
• I think you have also made a copyright violation at Vatsavaya. Certainly, the first few words come straight from the source you cite, although I can only see a limited view of it. Do I need to check every contribution you have made? - Sitush (talk) 21:20, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

• Am I not allowed to use genuine sources? Sharkslayer87 (talk)

• Read WP:COPYRIGHT. It turns out that I am indeed having to revert a lot of what you have done recently, for various reasons but mostly involving that, poor sourcing and poor phrasing. For example, you can't say "X are descended from the Solar dynasty" - that is utter nonsense because the dynasty never existed; at best, you could say "X claim descent from the mythological Solar dynasty". - Sitush (talk) 21:29, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

• I will correct myself wherever it is needed. My intention is to show facts and not someone's POV Sharkslayer87 (talk)

• Well, you haven't done a good job of avoiding POV since you began contributing. In fact, you appear to be a classic Raju pov pusher. - Sitush (talk) 21:46, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

You are doing a good job of suppressing truths. You are a classic Anti Raju pov pusher Sharkslayer87 (talk)

Your recent editing history at Raju shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Sitush (talk) 23:28, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Final Warning

Do not make threats. Do not issue ultimatums. Do not unilaterally make controversial edits that have been challenged without WP:CONSENSUS. Do not edit to advance any agenda or your preferred version of truth. You are extremely close to being blocked for your disruptive editing. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:00, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I concur with that. Your (Sharkslayer87's) language in this discussion gave me the shivers towards the end. --Prüm (talk) 01:48, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Which language(Prum)? My response to him when he called Rajus are self glorifying people? or my response when he ignored Evan Prichard who is considered one of the greatest social scientists of all time? Why am I being warned again(Ad Orientem)? I have stopped editing the Raju article. Please let me know what else I need to do? Sharkslayer87 (talk) 01:55, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Please tone down your voice just a little bit. We can hear you even so. The issue will eventually be rectified, I hope. --Prüm (talk) 01:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Prum, I hope you can understand what I have gone through in the last month. Please read the talk page with an unbiased mind. I have provided many sources which prove the Kshatriya status of Rajus. They are recorded as Kshatriyas by the government and they are accepted as such by the society. I provided historical sources, anthropological sources, news paper reports and a lot more. This particular Sitush wouldn't consider any of those as good enough. Why should this truth be suppressed. They say that I was involving in edit war but please look at this. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raju&diff=839049605&oldid=839047790. I was trying to add sourced content but Sitush was reverting it to Rajulu citation needed. In what way is that helping wikipedia? Why should we suppress the truth. When I write something in the talk page, nobody responds but when I make an edit with genuine sources, I get reverted. He even dismissed Evan Prichard's source as useless. Can you please suggest me what I can do? I was completely helpless and that made me go to the dispute resolution board. I will be grateful if at least one editor understands the pain I have been put through all these days for no fault of mine. To my knowledge, I have never added any unsourced content in any of my edits. Even if I did that, I apologized immediately. I want justice here. I hope you will understand my situation. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 02:15, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Please stay patient. It may be an uphill battle for you, but if you're convinced of your cause, you can do it. I don't know who could help you, but there sure are many Indians out there who have an opinion on this matter? Also, apologizing alone won't do, in my opinion. You must do that with conviction as well, I believe. Greetings, --Prüm (talk) 02:39, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• Clarification I am not warning you about the content of your edits, which I take no position on. My warning was directed at the manner of your editing and what was being said and implied in your edit summaries. Your edit summaries had an almost imperious tone and sounded like you were issuing ultimatums. Also you sound like someone who is here with a WP:AGENDA or to right great wrongs. That is extremely problematic since it indicates you are having difficulty approaching the subject from a neutral standpoint. If you are here to champion some cause you are in the wrong place. Again I advice you to read WP:DR and proceed from there. I can all but guarantee your request for a hearing by ARBCOM is going nowhere. I again advise you to withdraw it. Your unwillingness to listen to opinions and advice that you don't seem to care for is not helpful. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:45, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Can we say "impartial" rather than "neutral", please? Some people may feel offended by the latter. The former makes it sound nicer. --Prüm (talk) 07:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Eh? I believe it is WP:NPOV, not WP:IPOV. - Sitush (talk) 07:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, stark case of keyboard abuse. Think before typing and so forth. --Prüm (talk) 10:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Sharkslayer87, in March you took this issue to WP:DRN and to WP:ANI. Now you have taken it to ArbCom. Meanwhile, at least three people with vast experience of Wikipedia's ways have been reverting your efforts at Raju. You are, I think, already familiar with the sanctions regimes that apply and I think you have been very fortunate not to have been topic banned by now because your agenda is clear and you are being immensely disruptive. Please don't push your luck: it is better to be inside and able to do something than to be outside and unable to do anything. - Sitush (talk) 05:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

So, Sitush can call the entire community as self glorifying and it is not wrong? I try to provide genuine sources and it is a mistake? Why should I stop providing genuine sources? I will continue to provide genuine sources as that is what wikipedia stands for. If I get topic banned for providing correct sources and Sitush gets support for calling an entire community self glorifying people, so be it. I apologize to the people if my tone sounded wrong. I will not repeat that, but I will not stop providing genuine sources and will continue to do my stuff till the article is corrected Sharkslayer87 (talk) 10:16, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I will continue to work at the talk page Sharkslayer87 (talk) 10:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I don't have an agenda. My only agenda is to make sure that the Raju article reflects reality. I will provide genuine sources and try to make my point without flouting any rules. Thanks Sharkslayer87 (talk) 10:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Mr. Sharkslayer87, I’m not afraid you threatening fellow editors, myself included, for using cited information that other college lecturers and researchers have used in their paper. You for some reason are against using these credible sources, and reading what other editors are saying, I can see why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NagarjunaSarma (talk • contribs) 22:23, 7 February 2019 (UTC) Struck the comment of a blocked sock Sharkslayer87 (talk) 17:22, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nallaparaju

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Nallaparaju requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.55406/2015.55406.Journal-Of-The-Andhra-Historical-Research-Societyvol12pt-1#page/n279/mode/2up. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. Sitush (talk) 04:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I will rephrase the sentences and add it again. I apologize for copyright infringement. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 10:20, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

You will need to write it entirely in your own words - it was a straight word-for-word copy. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:25, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

I will do that. I apologize for doing a straight word-for-word copy. I am relatively new to wikipedia and still learning the ropes but I will continue to correct myself. Thanks for your response. Cheers. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 10:29, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

This discretionary sanction now applies to you

For relentless caste promotion and misuse of sources, I have decided, in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the terms of this community discussion, to impose the following sanction on you:

You have been indefinitely topic banned from making any edits to caste-related pages and discussions. Please read the policy about topic bans to see what a topic ban is, and note especially that it applies to all Wikipedia pages, including for instance user talkpages. However, you have opened a Request for arbitration against another user about a caste issue, and I don't want to stop you taking part in that, so I'll make an exception for the page Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case. You may comment freely there about caste as long as your request for arbitration remains open, but nowhere else.

This sanction has been logged at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction to the community at the administrators' noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me on my talk page, before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Bishonen | talk 10:55, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

May I know why this is being imposed on me? I never added any unsourced material. I have always strived to add material that is properly sourced. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 11:02, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity: Evans-Pritchard seems to me to have been an expert on the African rather than the Indian peoples? Wouldn't it be wiser to rely on sources closer to home? It's not intended to dismiss your arguments, tho. --Prüm (talk) 13:22, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Your request for arbitration

Hello, I'm GoldenRing, one of the arbitration clerks. I have removed your request for arbitration as it is obviously premature. Arbitration is the last resort in Wikipedia dispute resolution and it does not appear that you have exhausted other avenues for resolving this. In particular, the following were open to you:

• As the dispute is related to a topic under discretionary sanctions, if you believe you have a genuine behavioural grievance, you may file a request for arbitration enforcement at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
• If this is a good-faith dispute over content, your next step should be dispute resolution.

As I see Bishonen has topic-banned you from the subject, you will first need to successfully appeal this ban. Your options for appeal are:

• Approach Bishonen directly;
• An appeal to the administrator's noticeboard; or
• An appeal to the arbitration committee at arbitration requests for clarification and amendment.

As a personal word of advice, I do not consider your chances of success in any of these venues to be high. Your best approach is likely to be to reflect seriously on your editing so far and then approach the banning administrator with a well-considered appeal. GoldenRing (talk) 12:07, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• @Sharkslayer87 , I have moved your appeal request to WP:AN, which is the correct venue. —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap sh*t room} 12:14, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

May 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for violating the terms of your topic ban on caste: here, here, and here. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:33, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

This first block is a short one, because the intent is not to run you off of Wikipedia entirely. But you do need to abide by the terms of your topic ban, even if you try to appeal it, and these edits were clearly in breach of it. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:34, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Sharkslayer87 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I did some disruptive edits as I was agitated. I was not fully aware of how wikipedia works. I realize that wikipedia works through consensus. I will abide by wikipedia rules henceforth and try to work my way through consensus instead of force. I will be a productive wikipedian. I request you to unblock me Sharkslayer87 (talk) 20:58, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

No longer actively blocked SQL^{Query me!} 21:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• I have a couple questions: Will you abide by the topic ban? What will you do in the future if you become agitated while discussing something? 331dot (talk) 21:16, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I will abide by wiki rules. I will not become agitated. I will try to make my point through consensus and not through force. I will abide by the topic ban. I will make my contributions towards other topics for some time and then appeal for a lift on the topic ban. Until and unless they lift my topic ban, I will not edit or comment on that topic. I request you to unblock me. If I commit these mistakes again, please feel free to ban me for life. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 21:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
    • What other topics are you interested in editing about? Regarding "wiki rules", many people who state simply that they understand the rules actually do not. We need to be assured that you indeed understand them. If you find yourself agitated due to a dispute, what exactly will you do? 331dot (talk) 21:28, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

• • • • I am interested in movies, wild life, science and technology, history etc. Sharkslayer87 (talk)

Note that your appeal is declined. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 12:15, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

• Which appeal? Sharkslayer87 (talk) 12:16, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

• Follow the link. You requested that your topic be lifted. Your request was declined. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 12:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

• That is fine. I will contribute to Wikipedia in my capacity. If they feel I am good, they will lift the ban someday. In the meantime I will continue contributing to other topics. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 12:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Citing sources

Hi, when you cite a source it is not enough simply to provide a link to the cover of a book you have found on Google. We need much more information than that. It is usually best not to use "snippet views" - if you cannot see the entire text then don't use it as a source because more often than not it will lack context. A read of WP:Citing sources may be useful. - Sitush (talk) 03:59, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

June 2018

Hello. Your recent edit to Malden, Massachusetts appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 16:29, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Alluri Sitarama Raju

I have altered what you wrote at Alluri Sitarama Raju. You cannot just ignore a reliable source because you prefer what a different source says. And I remain concerned regarding your use of snippet views and inability to cite in a useful manner. Have you read WP:Citing sources yet? Do you need some help? - Sitush (talk) 16:22, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

• Alluri Sitarama Raju is considered a great hero from andhra region. The people there celebrate his birth and death anniversaries every year. His birth year is reported as 1897 by the media and the general public also knows it as 1897. I agree that certain sources mention it erroneously as 1898 but there is a general consensus that he was born in 1897 in Pandragi Village, Visakhapatnam. I am not ignoring that source just because I prefer another source. I am acting in good faith WP:AGF. Since there is a disagreement, let's continue this discussion on Talk:Alluri Sitarama Raju. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 17:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

• The source that says he was born in 1898 is also a snippet view. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 17:36, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vatsavaya

The article Vatsavaya has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No notability exists

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SEMMENDINGER (talk) 00:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

• I cannot make any contributions towards topics related to caste as a topic ban has been imposed on me for being overtly aggressive while editing topics related to caste. While I would like to improve it, I cannot because of the aforementioned ban. I appreciate your notifying me about the proposed deletion. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 02:56, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a university paper

Hello Natasha Fatah is the regular host of CBC News Network weekend mornings. How the hell am I supposed to reliably source that? the CBC website is unreliable because the always forget to update its schedules. For god's sake they kept listing Suhana Meharchand on there when she clearly had stated that she would be away until late October, and when I went after them they finally fixed it to Reshmi nair. So how the hell do you Americans expect me to reliably source that Natasha Fatah hosts weekend mornings regularly, save for a few weeks of the year where she goes on holiday? PS, grumpiness is my persona. 199.101.62.30 (talk) 07:09, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

• If you cannot source it, please do not add it. As simple as that. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 18:31, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

you really need to learn how to explain yourself better, thi sway I know what you mean. 330dot was there luckily this time. 199.101.62.30 (talk) 14:05, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Topic ban

Hi Sharkslayer87. As per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Request_to_lift_topic_ban, your topic ban on caste-related topics is lifted (permanent link - [1].) Please continue to contribute positively in the manner you have shown recently. Happy editing! Regards, Fish+Karate 13:21, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

• Hi Fish and karate. Thanks for lifting the topic ban on me. I will continue to contribute positively. I can still see my name in Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups. Isn't that supposed to be removed? Thanks Sharkslayer87 (talk) 14:09, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

  Done. Fish+Karate 17:02, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Shaekalayer! I don’t you think you should be lecturing me on using credible sources when they are other editors and users that have commented on your lack of credible sources. Respectfully, I used sources of Thurston, Yamada Keiko, Mr. Tyagi, and other modern authors and researchers, some who already cited. Your actions and unfair and besides making statements like Thurston is unreliable, maybe you should take a look at all the modern reasechers that cite him in their works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NagarjunaSarma (talk • contribs) 22:17, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you sockpuppet NagarjunaSarma. Wikipedia doesn't need people with dubious intents. The next time you get a chance to edit, mend your ways. We are not here with an agenda. We are here to present things in a fair and square manner. I had already warned you not to do one sided glorification edits but you paid no heed and ended up being blocked.

Notice: Warning of sanctions pertaining to social and ethnic groups of South Asia

The Wikipedia community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups.

• Hi, Sharkslayer87. I don't mean to nag you, and you can probably be taken to be aware of these discretionary sanctions since your previous topic ban was only recently revoked. But just to make sure you remember the facts, and the wording, here's the alert again. Bishonen | talk 17:42, 14 February 2019 (UTC).

• Hi Bishonen, I didn't flout any rules. I am trying to gain consensus through discussion as that is how wikipedia works. Please let me know if you found any issue with my behavior and I will correct myself. I want to reiterate that my intentions are only to improve. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 17:55, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

• Sharkslayer87, why not review, say this section further up this talk page and then compare it to what you are saying 8 months later in the discussions at Talk:Raju. My suggestion to you is that you haven't learned much or indeed anything in the intervening time regarding how Wikipedia works when it comes to using sources. - Sitush (talk) 18:05, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

February 2019

• I believe you are mistaken. I didn't vandalize that article. I updated the article with what was actually there in the source. The source mentions his father was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, which I updated. I updated his height as 73.5 inches which is what the source actually says. Please let me know what you think I did, that can be termed as unconstructive edits. Thanks Sharkslayer87 (talk) 00:49, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Sharkslayer87, Greeting and thanks for informing. I have checked the source and your edit was as per sources. I have removed the warning message. My apologies and all faults are mine. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 01:06, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Cassiopeia, mistakes do happen. Your apology has been accepted and I very much appreciate that you acknowledged there was no fault of mine. Thanks and happy editing. Cheers Sharkslayer87 (talk) 01:17, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Weak argument

Hey there, I'm sure you know that this is a weak justification. Notability is not inherited, so a film, or multiple films could be notable on their own, but that doesn't mean that the people who made them are somehow notable. You should be prepared to argue for keeping if the IP chooses to go through AFD. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:10, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know Cyphoidbomb. The IP user claimed that the subject was non notable as the two films he directed were non notable but that's not true. The two films he directed are notable as they have their own wiki pages. Anyway, I will follow your advice and argue for keeping the article. Thanks Sharkslayer87 (talk) 06:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

The IP user also claimed "Two-film old personality does not satisfy WP:ARTIST" in their edit summary. I looked up WP:ARTIST and found nothing of that sort. Please correct me if I am wrong Sharkslayer87 (talk) 06:17, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Demographics

The population of Visakhapatnam according to 2011 census is 1.7 Million and population of Vijayawada is 1.4 million I have provided references for Visakhapatnam and the demographics of Vijayawada is given wrong references I have not done anything wrong I am giving population according to the census but you're saying I am doing for my own purpose see this government website too http://mohua.gov.in/cms/number-of-cities--towns-by-city-size-class.php Ktdk (talk) 07:53, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Since you have used this for reporting the population of Visakhapatnam, I have used the same for Vijayawada also. We should maintain uniformity in sourcing else there will be inflation and deflation. Sharkslayer87 (talk) 09:39, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

I have just checked your edits and it seems you are inflating stats at Vijayawada and deflating those at Visakhapatnam. Please read WP:AGENDA. We should follow neutrality while editing wikipedia. Please read WP:NPOV. Thanks Sharkslayer87 (talk) 09:47, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia needs news articles or respective airports website as a reference as per AAI there is only one runway Wikipedia doesn't accept third party apps a reference AAI website is more reliable Ktdk (talk) 11:32, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
