The page WP:NCORP will give you a better idea of what Wikipedia considers to be a notable business. Stating the business's activity, fundraising, shareholding and personnel doesn't do the job, after all, every business has those attributes. Cabayi (talk) 22:27, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Walter Murch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:21, 27 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your edits are problematic

edit

Most of your recent edits are NOT HELPFUL and have to be reverted. E.g., at Lighthouse of Alexandria you inserted a circular redirect that links back to the same article. At Elephant bird, you inserted a link to a disambiguation page that can only confuse the reader. Both of these errors you have made many times. In addition, you are using a misleading edit summary of "added citation" for these actions - you are not adding citations, you are inserting wikilinks. - Please either stop this or spend a lot more time double-checking your edits. Currently you are mostly creating work for other people who have to clean up after you. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. JACKINTHEBOXTALK 08:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Not sure what to make out of your reply. One of the admins User:Cyphoidbomb insisted Indianism is not allowed even on articles exclusively related to India. I hope he clarifies his position against this differing opinion from another senior editor Ihaveabandonedmychild (talk) 15:17, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Ihaveabandonedmychild: It's odd that you're responding to a two-month-old notice on another editor's talk page to get clarification about this instead of asking me directly. I also don't know what specific edit the notice refers to, but this should be pretty simple to understand. From MOS:TIES: "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the (formal, not colloquial) English of that nation." Since India uses a form of English built on the British standard, in an article about Shah Rukh Khan, we'd use British spelling variants. In an article about Brad Pitt, we would use American spelling variants. The prior discussion you are referring to had to do with an ambiguous India-specific colloquialism, which is not likely to be understood by our global readership. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
User:Cyphoidbomb, "Glamorous" is not a colloquial word as far as Indian English is concerned, as it is common in articles that are rather formal. I can furnish references if you wish. It is also quite common in Wikipedia biography articles and its pervasiveness proves that it is a rather acceptable term in Wiki encyclopedia. See the search result https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Glamorous+roles&title=Special:Search&profile=default&fulltext=1&ns0=1

It has been used in two biography of non-Indian Hollywood actresses and of course,in countless articles relating to Indian actresses and has survived there foe ages without attracting attention from admins. I am still not sure why you are so persistent on your stance.

Your changes on Vanniyar article.

edit

Hi Elowa, you recently edited Vanniyar page and changed cited information from BMC Genomics report by BioMed Central without any appropriate reason. I've reverted it for now but if you find anything disputed from this journal report than you can start discussion topic on talk page. HinduKshatrana (talk) 19:01, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
