: {{ping|DareshMohan}} I'm sure you did. You are among a great many editors who keep trying to add and/or change the order of actors in a cast in South Asian films. This has been going on for more than ten years, and has become highly disruptive. You'll change it, and soon enough someone will come along and change it to their preferred version. Over and over and over and over and over again this happens. Did you know there are frequently different versions of a film based on where it is distributed to? What ''you'' saw is not what someone else will necessarily see. If you're going to change the case, then please...PLEASE...find ], ] to support the change. That's really your only chance for your preferred version to remain the accepted version. --] (]) 01:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC) |

::: {{ping|Kailash29792}} Hey that's great! Ok, which release of a given film would you like to use? Which one is authoritative? The film gets released in one region, it has one order. It gets released in another, it gets another order. So, which one? It's not enough to say put it in order the film puts it in.

|
|
::::::::See the various threads regarding cast order changes at ]. That's as good a primer on this subject as anything. I've seen similar disputes on the IMDB community forum as well. The constant changes in cast order is highly disruptive. When does it end? Why...WHY...does it matter so much that people have to keep changing it? As an example, see the IMDB entry for this movie's cast. It claims it's in credits order . Except, their credits order doesn't agree with what's here. On YouTube, Aditya Music India (who has rights to the music so should have some authority) shows a different cast order . So, whose credits order is right? And on it goes. --] (]) 18:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC) |

::Okay that film is an ''extreme'' multistarrer. I guess your right. Saying that the Aditya Music one matches the end credits is original research. ] (]) 02:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC) |

::: Saying that any of them is authoritative over another is as well. That's one of the many reasons this cast order business keeps happening over and over and over and over again. --] (]) 02:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC) |

== Continued edit warring on ] == |
|
|
|
|
|
In spite of your clear warning to not edit war, {{No ping2|Brusquedandelion}} has again that they had been edit warring for prior to your full protection of the page. They have been edit warring for it for quite some time previously and dont seem to have any intention of stopping after multiple warnings from multiple users. Please do look into it. Thanks, ] (]) 19:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC) |
|

:Looking at the article history, there have been multiple times when it's been referred to as right wing and as far right. Right now the article disagrees with itself with the lede and the categorization. There doesn't seem to be a consensus one way or another as to how to label this organization. That's not a ticket to edit war. If you can find sources supporting it being "right wing" as opposed to "far right", then produce them on the talk page and try to work it out. --] (]) 20:25, 10 March 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
::Im not sure if I understood this correctly, or if I explained myself correctly. Are you saying its okay for them to continue edit warring to introduce the contentious label they want (on which a TP section is open where they dont have consensus)? And FWIW, I have raised sources on TP, they have continued edit warring despite that. ] (]) 17:37, 11 March 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
:::I have never said it's ok for ANYone to edit war. I am asking for people to seek and get consensus. From what I can see from the article history, there IS NO CONSENSUS at all on what to label the group. Nobody is more right than anyone else. Follow ] if you are not satisfied. --] (]) 01:40, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
::::They've just continued their edit war, no? They reverted to their preferred version after you explicitly said that edit warring would lead to a block. I just want to confirm again, are you saying that<br>1) You don't find an issue with their edit highlighted<br>2) The onus is now on those seeking to remove the claim of "far right", and not on those inserting it<br>Because to the best of my understanding, our policy would say no, but the way I understood your responses that's effectively the advice here. |
|
|
::::If there is no action (not even a revert on their reintroduction for which they know they lack consensus) we are effectively encouraging their edit warring. Simultaneously, it is also wrong if instead of following ] and ], I have to go and disprove their exceptional claim (or seek DR). If you agree that there is no consensus to assign the label of far right, then obviously the exceptional label shouldn't be there. I know I might have sounded a bit rude, but I'm very perplexed by your handling of this.] (]) 03:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
::::: What you're asking me to do is to assert that the correct answer is not to label the group as far right. The person you are in disagreement with I am sure would be very happy to assert that labeling them as far right is the correct answer ({{ping|Brusquedandelion}} correct me if I'm wrong). My job isn't to assert what the correct answer is. My job is to stop disruption to the article. As I've noted, I've looked at the history of the article. There is no answer that is the consensus answer. Changing it to say it's not far right isn't any more right than changing it to say it IS far right. There is no correct answer from the material provided. There is no point in the article's history to go back to and assert as "stable" until such time as a consensus to change it exists. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise. Asserting they are wrong and you are right isn't a sufficient answer to that. I'm not going to start issuing blocks because one or the other party isn't happy with the state of the article. So let's just trial this out, ok? You're asking me to block Brusquedandelion from the article. Let's say I do that. After they do that, you go and change the article to your preferred version. Since there's no consensus, I would then be obligated to block you from the article. Move into the future, two more people change it back and forth, so I block them from the article. Repeat ad nauseum. It would never end. It's NOT an answer to the disruption. Find a better answer. Come up with sources that prove one side is right over the other. If you can't do that, then come up with compromise wording that everybody is dissatisfied with (since being satisfied is unlikely to happen). --] (]) 10:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |
|
|
::::::Its not relevant what is "correct" here. What is relevant is that you told all of us to not edit war or else you would be issuing blocks, but youre now telling me that someone can happily continue with their edit warring and you wont do anything about it. {{pb}}Anyway, that does clear up the confusion. Im not happy with your descision, and IMO its a wrong way to treat disputes, but it does clear the confusion.(In my opinion, it amounts to encouraging disruption. If you justify edit warring by placing the onus for consensus and burden of proof on the constructive editors, it makes it pointless for anyone to actually bother discussing. Far easier to just edit war for their preferred version and then stonewall on the TP) ] (]) 17:25, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |

::::::: {{ping|CapnJackSp}} I'm unclear as to what I can do to explain this further to you. Likely from my own gross incompetence, I have been completely unable to convey to you what the situation is and how to resolve it. From my chair, my interpretation of what you're saying is that I am somehow condoning edit warring, and I've taken a position supporting the group as far right. I've done neither, but my woeful capabilities have proven incapable of expressing that I've not done this. Since I am so obviously incompetent, I strongly encourage you to take just one piece of advice from me, since the rest of what I have said is utter gibberish; go to ]. Your answers lie there. Thank you, --] (]) 17:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |

::::::::My intent was not to insult, but to express my frustration with something I find unjustifiable. What you said wasnt "gibberish" or anything, but it was essentially the chamberlain way - advising to avoid conflict even if the other side is patently edit warring. It has never worked.{{pb}}Theres nothing to explain, I got your point. The reason for writing my post was to just leave my opinion on this clear, since I did not agree with the point you were making. Anyway, I hope you got what I mean. ] (]) 17:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |

::::::::: Comparing my methods to Chamberlain is not lost on me as I am student of history. I find such comparisons to be insulting, not least of which is it essentially assigns people you disagree with in this dispute as being Hitlers. It is perhaps ironic that this is over a "far right" designation. Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm not doing what you think I should be doing. From my chair, I'm doing ''exactly'' what I need to be doing. I am not going to take sides in this conflict, no matter how incompetent you or I think I am. It's not going to happen. I will say it one more time and drop this conversation; if you don't like what I'm doing, then your salvation lies at ]. If you're not willing to do that, then please... please... ].

:::::Once again, there is an open discussion about this, open for more than a week now mind you, which you refuse to engage with. ] (]) 00:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC) |

:As Hammersoft has already pointed out, the article already refers to the organization as far-right, long before I ever touched the article, and there has been a general consensus that the body of the article, as well as the categorization, should refer it to as such. I did not touch the first sentence in my recent edits. The categorization has been this way forever, and it has been the consensus to keep it that way. Please don't confuse the issue of European Fascist influence with the categorization issue; K3 and you have unfortunately managed to piggy back the categorization change with the latter issue, where there actually is contention, but these are separate issues. Anyways, there is an open discussion about this on the Talk Page; as Hammersoft says, if you have reliable sources arguing the RSS is not far right, please discuss there. I have provided a veritable laundry list of sources indicating that the organization is, in fact, (referred to as) far right (by numerous reliable sources). I have received no response for close to a week now. ] (]) 10:21, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |

{{tps}} Just following this from a distance but wanted to weigh in some thoughts. An edit war is not started until until there are two reverts to a change. While BRD is not the end all to how content disputes are resolved it is the framework for how best to resolve. There was a bold change. There was a reversion. There has to be, at some point, discussion. The fact that there was another reversion was the initial "salvo" in the edit war. No fault, at that point, can be placed on the opposite side. However, when it was reverted again the other side became equally at fault. While it does not take two to initiate an edit war it takes two or more to continue it so if an edit war continues at the article that means there are two sides, not editors, continuing to revert each other. As an intervening uninvolved administrator, Hammersoft, can not enter it with the approach of determining which side is correct but how best to stop the disruption (edit war) and that can involve issuing warning's to both sides up to temporary blocks to cool the situation. I don't see where Hammersoft has condoned any edit warring and I think it would be best for both sides in this to heed his advice to seek some form of proper dispute resolution before sanctions are handed down. --]] 17:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC) |

:Per ], we don't generally do this unless there is a strong, compelling reason to do so. I've been seriously tempted before, ''knowing'' vandalism was going to happen. For example, for any high profile coaching position there's bound to be all kinds of vandalism as soon as the job opens up. Hopeful, wishful people plug in their favorite candidate to claim they are the new head coach, never providing a source to prove it of course. It's ''going'' to happen. It always happens. Yet, we don't preemptively protect those pages. --] (]) 19:16, 16 April 2024 (UTC) |

Apparently a bot adding tags to this page at the same time you deleted it made it so that page wasn't deleted. ]. ] (]) 02:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC) |

:Wow. Weird. Thanks for the heads up. Deleted. {{ping|Qwerfjkl}} this was your bot that did it. Any ideas what happened here? I deleted it, the bot apparently somehow edit conflicted and recreated it after I deleted it. Thoughts? --] (]) 02:46, 5 May 2024 (UTC) |

::Probably the bot retrieved the page data before it was deleted, but saved the edit after it was deleted. I've updated the code to use nocreate so it'll throw an error if the page already exists, instead of creating it.<span id="Qwerfjkl:1714921132116:User_talkFTTCLNHammersoft" class="FTTCmt"> — ]] 14:58, 5 May 2024 (UTC)</span> |

Please look into the current situation on ]. They have said that they have/had at least two other accounts (one they claim they have deleted). They have stated they have edited Misplaced Pages using the other accounts but have thus far refused to disclose those accounts despite saying that they would. Perhaps it is just a language barrier or a lack of understanding. I am trying to assume good faith. Could you give me your opinion. Tell me if I need to disengage or what the next step is. Sometimes an outside perspective is needed. --]] 14:52, 9 May 2024 (UTC) |

:Good to hear from you! It's been a bit. You are correct of course that accounts can not be deleted. They can be renamed per ], which reduces the possibility of discovery but does not eliminate it. As to disclosing other accounts; it is not ''required'' to disclose alternate accounts. See ]. To quote, {{tq|"Alternative accounts should always be identified as such on their user pages, unless where doing so would defeat the point of the account."}} Reading over the discussion at ], I would recommend dropping the request to identify alternate accounts unless you have strong reason to believe they are being misused. In that case, it might do to present evidence at ]. --] (]) 16:24, 9 May 2024 (UTC) |

::Thank you for your objective view, as always. I will leave it where it is. The user has stated they are not using this current account again so if they continue then there may be cause for a SPI. --]] 17:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC) |

:::It has been some time. I received a compliment that I think should be attributed to you, as well, on my ]. The principles you've shared are being noticed by others and I am so appreciative to you for the time and effort you have given to the encyclopedia and the community. I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to your Song here over the past going on four years, Hammersoft. --]] 17:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC) |

::::I wouldn't attribute it to me. Ok, you posted them on your userpage. But, choosing to embrace something takes on a bit of ownership of it. If you follow the teachings of Gandhi, you are choosing to embrace those teachings. In part, you ''become'' those teachings. It is you. I'm glad you found value in the principles!
