Edit Request

Hey Toddy, i made an edit request to article of Aisha , I implore you to look into what i said because as it is the article has been defiled by a vandal,this is an important article and impartial information is number 1 priority Camaro911 (talk) 00:12, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Please could you contribute at Talk:Aisha#Use of "Hayat Al-Qulub" to support a Shia claim that Aisha poisoned her husband (Semi-protected edit request on 25 March 2024). I hope that is what you are talking about.-- Toddy1 (talk) 04:48, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

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 and Safoora zargar. 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) 13:40, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Funny from someone who not only got blocked but whose appeals turned a 2 week block into an indefinite. Doug Weller talk 19:04, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Where should I report

Hello, you know a user is vandalizing Economy of West Bengal repeatedly by changing figures without any source after multiple warnings. Now they even called me b@stard. Where should I report? Shubhrojeet (talk) 09:26, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

If you look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RRArchive480#User:Sweety943 reported by User:Toddy1 (Result: Blocked 72 hours), you will see an example of how to report people for edit warring. Key issues:

• Someone needs to post an edit warring notice on the user's talk page.
  • The template for this can be found on Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace
  • If you look at User talk:Sweety943, you will see that I gave him one for the Economy of West Bengal at 15:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC), and one for Economy of Bangladesh at 07:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC).
• You need diffs. You can create these using the article history.
• It helps a lot if there is a discussion on the article talk page. I made sure that there was one for the Economy of West Bengal, and when he/she started making edits again on Economy of Bangladesh and Economy of West Bengal I made comments on both talk pages. His/her edits to the Economy of Bangladesh were good edits in the sense that his/her changes were supported by the citations.

If someone resumes edit warring on a page after a block, they do not get three reverts in a day - if you look at User talk:Sweety943 I asked him/her to self-revert at Economy of West Bengal and told him that if he/she reverts again on that page he may be blocked for it.

Please could you have a look at Special:Contributions/Sweety943 and check whether the edits they are making are supported by the sources.

His/her edits at User talk:Pickersgill-Cunliffe#Question from Sweety943 (06:13, 10 April 2024) asked how to do a citation. Evidently he/she did not know.

If you want to report his incivility, you could do so at WP:ANI. I considered doing it, but the chances are nothing would happen, so I did not bother. It has to be a lot worse than that to get action.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

About your revertion of revision with citation

I am confused. You reverted my edit on Aisha. The revision was properly cited. The reference is not only peer reviewed, but a strong reference universally (Sahih Bukhari).

What's the issue then? Kawrno Baba (talk) 07:57, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

The reason for my revert was to get you to use the article talk page. (I also wrote a message on your talk page, but by the time I had completed writing it, you had already done what I was asking for, so I reverted the message I left on your talk page.)

Your edit was reverted yesterday by another editor. You reverted back today (there was no difference between your 13:48 13 April 2024 and your 07:41 14 April 2024 edits). Aisha's age on marriage is a contentious topic, and it is much better that you should use the talk page to explain your edit, than to wait a few hours for the other editor to see it and revert back.

Earlier today, the other editor left a message on an admin's talk page requesting assistance with respect of your edits - see User talk:Bishonen#Contentious edits of a user.

Here on Wikipedia, we try to help each other. It seemed to me that the most helpful way of reacting to your edit, was to get you to use the article talk page to ascertain the consensus on this matter.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:17, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

WikiPedia Adventures

Hi. Can you guide me about Wikipedia:TWA/Portal ? The buttons seem not to work. Kawrno Baba (talk) 10:23, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I have never used it. I did not know it existed before you sent the link.

If you are having trouble with buttons not working, try another browser. The buttons may need you to accept cookies. Last week, a credit card website I use worked in Safari but not in Firefox. It previously worked fine in Firefox. Often these problems are caused by so-called "upgrades".-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:34, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Help on formatting

Hi. Can you educate me on 'subheadings'? I thought these subheadings were appropriate, but the change got deleted on grounds of 'no expansion required' yet a small paragraph has a subheading.

What is the requirement to have a subheading? When to add or remove subheadings?

The wikipedia guidelines about formatting doesn't have the answer to the question, so I thought someone experienced may help. Kawrno Baba (talk) 17:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Headings are useful to:

• Help the user find information in the article,
• Split up different topics, and
• Make it clear what is being discussed.

In the version of 16:48, 13 March 2024 (UTC), there are the following sections:

• The lead (1 short paragraph)
• Section 1, Early life (3 short paragraphs)
• Section 2, Battle of Khaybar (4 short paragraphs if you do not count Section 2.1)
• Section 2.1, Marriage to Muhammad (3 short paragraphs)
• Section 3, Legacy (3 short paragraphs)

This all seems logical. None of the sections are particularly large. On my computer screen the longest paragraph is 3 lines long. Section 2.1 is related to Section 2, so I can see why it is a subsection. I can see that some readers might want to jump from the lead to Section 2.1, so there is a good case for the subheading.

Suppose, you found sources that caused you to expand Section 1, so that it contained 14 paragraphs, most of which are 9 lines long on my computer - i.e. three times as long as the longest paragraph in the current article. In that case you would probably want to introduce some extra headings - they might be level 2 (headings), or they might be level 3 (subheadings), it depends on the content. The article would look a lop-sided if Section 1 were larger than the rest of the article; people would start saying either (a) that the 14-paragraph Section 1 should be trimmed, or (b) that it needed to be split up using headings.

The other editor left a useful edit summary in one of his/her edits: Removed the unnecessary subheadings. The content is not even that expansive. He/she could see the need for the "Marriage to Muhammad" (which is useful for ease of navigation, and because it is a different, but related topic). But he/she could not see the need for other subheadings in Section 2, because it is only four short paragraphs.

Does that help?-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Thank you. Kawrno Baba (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
