August 2021

this is unfair sir, i have read your message on my talk page about the editwar on Expressways of India. sir, let me please tell you the whole matter. sir there is a user named aakash singh india, his user page is User:Aakash Singh India, sir he was the only person who have issues with my edits, i tried to discuss the issue with him on his talk page User talk:Aakash Singh India, these all discussions are now being deleted by him, you can see them in this page's archives. sir he was constantly making a non-valid point, that only those expressways which he thinks are EXPRESSWAy, can be added to this page, i constantly tried to make him understand the official definition of expressway, which include high quality highway which are access controlled, but he was not in a mood to agree with me. so i registered a complaint of him on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism you can see my User contributions for proof, but got no reply, then i personally asked two administrators to intervene in this matter and do what is correct, these two administrators are User:Number 57 and User:JamesR, but still didn't get any reply, now you tell sir, what was my mistake, is it that i am a new user with less number of edits than User:Aakash Singh India. after all this i constantly asked User:Aakash Singh India to stop Vandalism, you can see Expressways of India's edit history for proof, but didn't listen, at the end i left the page with wrong information. sir he is the one who was acting like a DON, on that page, i have no choice to leave that page, so after all these tries, i left the page. if you are a neutral person, then please intervene in these matter and serve justice sir, if you find me wrong, block me at any time, but if you find User:Aakash Singh India wrong, please take appropriate action against him. Thank you.Zindahtohpyalabharde (talk) 11:04, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

• Both of you are edit warring and will be blocked if you continue. —SpacemanSpiff 11:06, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Also, I am beginning to suspect this could be another sock of Dusrapehelu (talk · contribs) based on the fact that they engaged with me out of the blue and also started reverting at 2019 Indian general election. The tone of the above is very similar to this. Cheers, Number 57 11:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Quite right, Number 57. I'm going to ask Favonian to take a look at this as the original blocking admin. —SpacemanSpiff 11:18, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
      • @User:Number 57 if two persons, say "sir" to address some senior person, that doesn't means they are one person. and about my reverts on 2019 Indian general election, i still stand to my reverts, please dont deny facts, according to election commision website, bjp got 37.76% and congress got 19.70%, this is the true result, but you are asking me use Result table (a wikipedia page) as a source, which is not posible, wikipedia itself cant be the source of wikipedia. please provide me with the proof of 37.36% votes share of bjp and 19.49% vote share of congress if you have them, and if you dont have them please accept my reverts, and dont act like this page 2019 Indian general election is your personal property,sorry for language.following wikipedia rules i also started a discussion on this article's talk page, please engage with me thereZindahtohpyalabharde (talk) 12:09, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
        • @User:Number 57 i have just read you replies on the talk page, i am really sorry for my above message, i was a little frustrated by all this Expressways of India stuff then 2019 Indian general election, and then this sockpuppet thing, i am really sorry for my language, i am ready to bear any punishment for that, i felt like i am being targetted by whole wikipedia community, sorry againZindahtohpyalabharde (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

another request to all the administrators here, please solve this Expressways of India page issue, User:Aakash Singh India is denying each of facts, without giving any of his, one of his argument was that his father is chief of National Highways Authority of India so he knows everything, i request all of you administrators to intervene in this matter, and show me the right way to do things and also please help us to decide the correct definition of expressways.Zindahtohpyalabharde (talk) 12:19, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

User:Xpardeep‎

You're more generous than I. I had already warned this user in my previous unblock decline that if they continue to make unblock requests without addressing the reason for their block their access to the talk page would be revoked. I'd have revoked it after that third unblock request. Canterbury Tail talk 13:04, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

• Ha, Canterbury Tail, I'm usually not this generous, it's just that he kept asking about the reason for his block and the "NOTHERE" definition isn't something that such editors understand easily (even with Bishonen's add on note on caste promotion. I was going to reblock with TP access revoked, but this made me reconsider that and see if he actually came up with an unblock request that addressed the issue (although I believe that's unlikely). cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 13:12, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Ah fair enough. Lets see if they respond in any useful manner. Canterbury Tail talk 13:22, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Did you guys notice their userpage is a redirect to Kagarol? And apparently previously a redirect to a redirect to Kagarol (which was fixed by another editor). I presume another indication of CIR problems. Bishonen | tålk 13:27, 14 August 2021 (UTC).

Thanks for that, Bish, I hadn't noticed it earlier. But that got me down another rabbit hole and the guy is evading his block using IPs. Mobile IPs, so no point in blocking them now. —SpacemanSpiff 13:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Purvanchal Expressway

Dear @SpacemanSpiff: Greetings for the day. I need your help ! A user is constantly vandalizing 2 pages i.e. Agra-Lucknow Expressway and Purvanchal Expressway) by using 2 to 3 different IP address from last 1 month. I have clearly mentioned the reason with valid sources on talk page as well. But, still the user is engaging an edit war with me. I am a very responsible editor with nearly 4,000 successful edits. Kindly help me. Thanks. Aakash Singh India (talk) 06:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

• I really don't understand what this thing with roads/highways is, please post at WT:HWY or WT:INB for interested editors to get involved and/or provide feedback. —SpacemanSpiff 09:45, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

August 2021

Greetings!! This is User:Sonal Mathew. You had made a comment on my talk page last day. I didn't actually get what are you referring to. I am editing in Wikipedia as I think that correct information should reach the people. I haven't ever done any paid editing. I am totally against that also. I haven't ever attached any link to my webpage or websites in any Wikipedia accounts. I haven't created any pages nor edited any pages of my family members, friends or relatives. Infact I don't have any of such family, friends and relatives having a Wikipedia page. I don't know why dif you feel so. If I have done any such edits which may make people think that I am a paid editor, please mention it to me, so that I can avoid doing such edits. Waiting for your reply................... Sonal Mathew (talk) 15:52, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Your edits, especially around Biju Sopanam are promotional and follows a pattern that has been going on over the past few years, also, your use of regurgitated press releases in news outlets to push the production house narrative. I'm pinging Mz7 who has handled some of those in the Sulshanamoodhi group. —SpacemanSpiff 16:17, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

I have made only 7 edits in Biju Sopanam page. All of them were on the films he acted the awards he recieved. The filmography table was incomplete so I just tried to complete it. How can it be promotional? I have joined Wikipedia only 7 months ago and have made all edits truthfully and with all due respect to the Wikipedia standards. If you could specifically mention the edits which you feel to be promotional I am willing to remove that edit. I haven't intentionally did any did for promoting someone or something. Please don't take any action against me 😞😞 Sonal Mathew (talk) 17:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

• e.g. This edit reads exactly like how a PR agent of the production house would phrase it. While your intention may not be to do it that way, the source mining for regurgitated press releases of a future film to present it in good light does come across as promotional and what the publicity team of the production house would do. —SpacemanSpiff 03:50, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I didn't actually mean to do it. So what should I do now? Should I remove the Reference which was given for the puja of the film? Or should I need to completely delete this edit? I will do as you suggest me. Sonal Mathew (talk) 05:36, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I suppose who have read the wikipedia article of 'CHitraguptavanshi Kayastha'. Its clearly stated that people with surnames like: SRIVASTVA/AMBASTHA/ASTHANA/MATHUR are Kayasthas. Then may I ask you MR.why did you revert my edits? LALAJI1234 (talk) 11:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

• You were already alerted to the right policies by Bonadea, if you can't follow that then you shouldn't be editing here. —SpacemanSpiff 11:36, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Bad protection

The new editor duplicated the entire article twice. Scroll down his version and the entire article repeats after end of the reference section! He has been earlier reverted by me, JoshuaJonathan, and Fowler&Fowler. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:45, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Apart from that he's using sources from 1878, 1929, 1787 etc. Along with WP:OR. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:47, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Deleted page

Hi Spaceman, glad to see you back after your long break. I wonder if you can check if there was page on a gentleman called "Idrees Kanth" that was deleted a couple of years ago. I have a vague memory of this man creating a page on himself (or adding his own spiel on a variety of pages), and getting blocked. Now we have this. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:55, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

• No such page with any deleted history, I tried a few spelling variations too. —SpacemanSpiff 20:00, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
