:Hi {{u|Soham321}} and thanks for the message. My "decision" merely indicates that your issue with {{u|Joshua Jonathan}} is not one that an admin can resolve. An admin's role, ''inter alia'', is to prevent disruption to the encyclopedia. You may find refactoring talk page comments annoying but as long as it doesn't descend into edit warring then there isn't anything I, or any other admin, can do about what is fundamentally a style issue. I don't know what sort of reception you'd get at ArbCom if you report the matter there but I suggest a better option may be to attempt to resolve your issues with JJ through dialogue. ]<sup>♦]</sup> 07:16, 2 July 2015 (UTC) | :Hi {{u|Soham321}} and thanks for the message.

In Talk:Andhra_Pradesh_capital_city#Area page the area was changed by IPs and stated in my talk page like this User_talk:Vin09#Amaravati_Area. Can you check the reference of government gazette and this newspaper article of master plan. There is IP edits in more number in both city and region articles.--Vin09 (talk) 04:03, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vin09: I think it's OK now. Cheers, Philg88 06:24, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- So, an official gazette is the correct reference? Also, you write ce in summary, just curious to know the full form.--Vin09 (talk) 07:16, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vin09: Although the government is a primary source, in this case with regard to what something is called the name given by them may be considered definitive. "CE" is an abbreviation for many things, but in the Misplaced Pages universe it means "copyedit". Philg88 13:28, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Philg88: Although the government is a primary source, in this case with regard to what something is called the name given by them may be considered definitive.

June 2015 Wikification drive.
Greetings! Just spreading a message to the members of WikiProject Wikify that the June drive has been started. Come on, sign up! :) "A wiki of beauty is a joy forever." Seriously. That's how long it'd take to read! (talk) 04:50, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Metropolitan_areas
Can you check
- Talk:List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_India#Metropolitan_areas
- recent edits
- User_talk:JayB91#List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_India--Vin09 (talk) 06:33, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vin09: I'm not sure what you want me to do here. JayB91 is a new editor who is perhaps not fully familiar with the guidelines for editing Misplaced Pages. If you see a problem, I suggest you point it out politely on JayB91's talk page or that of the associated article. Cheers, Philg88 06:40, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ya I saw his edits, also I had placed it in his talk page. He is working fine, just I wanted you to check as the title suggests Metro area, so we need to prefer area or population as first preference in ranking the table?--Vin09 (talk) 06:42, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know the answer to that or whether it actually matters. If you feel strongly about it, I suggest you start a discussion on the the article's talk page oor somewhere central such as Wikiproject India. Best, Philg88 06:47, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- Intervention needed, else it might lead to a misunderstanding with the other user. Though I've mentioned clearly in the talk page. The user is not able to understand at Talk:List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_India#AP_Urban_area. Whatever is right as far as you know please comment there. If I revert again I'd be at risk of violating a WP:3RR.--Vin09 (talk) 04:31, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vin09: I'm not sure what "intervention" you require. This is a content dispute that should be resolved through discussion-if that can't be achieved it should be taken to the dispute resolution noticeboard. I don't know enough about the topic area to get involved. Philg88 05:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikimedia as a reliable source??
Ok, I know that nothing Wiki can be regarded as reliable sources, but... Tinkering with Jean Paul Gaultier I came across a red link to a Swedish museum so I translated the article and fixed it up a bit. When I looked through its Commons category, I saw that the museum was involved with the WP something I thought could be worth mentioning. But that would mean using the Swe Wikimedia as source , . Can I do that? In this case. Or... ? Also 'ping' Peter Isotalo (should he take a break from his Wikibreak) while I'm at it, since there are indications that he was at the event, and perhaps would like to add something to the article. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 23:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
- Alas kompis, all language versions of Misplaced Pages (including commons, i.e. Wikimedia or WMF) are considered unreliable because they are crowd sourced. You can of course use a Swedish source, but you already knew that. Sorry! Best, Philg88 04:19, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, bad sources removed. I had to try... ;) w.carter-Talk 08:50, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

ISP template using dead tool server
I noticed you edited {{ISP}} and wondered if you would be interested in fixing its use of the now dead toolserver - someone posted on the talk page about other templates using functioning tools. Sorry if this is inappropriate to mention on your talk page. Slivicon (talk) 20:57, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi there, Slivicon. No problem with leaving a message here but I'm not sure I can help. There don't currently appear to be any live WHOIS tools listed at WMF labs so I can't update the code. There are a number of third party (read commercial) sites that will do what's needed but I'm not happy to link one of them direct from a template. If you have any other ideas, please let me know. Cheers, Philg88 05:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
Name
Please check the name. List of revenue divisions in Andhra Pradesh, List of Revenue Divisions of Tamil Nadu. Revenue Division or revenue division, which one is correct?--Vin09 (talk) 05:48, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vin09: The usage here is as a collective noun so it should be lowercase (i.e. "List of revenue divisions of Andhra Pradesh"). Some people might argue that "Revenue Division" is a proper noun but in this case it isn't. End of grammar lesson Cheers, Philg88 06:04, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks.--Vin09 (talk) 06:29, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Are you the correct person to contact re free access to Scotlandspeople website? I am trying to trace my fiancé's mother — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliebaillie (talk • contribs) 12:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi there Julie and thanks for the message. To gain free Misplaced Pages Library access to ScotlandsPeople you need to sign up at Misplaced Pages:ScotlandsPeople and satisfy the requisite criteria. Unfortunately, you don't have 1,000 edits to the encyclopedia so you don't qualify at the moment. Sorry! Philg88 13:03, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship Program to"Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program"
Hi again Philg88 -- as an administrator do you have (or could you tell me about) a magic wand to change "Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship Program" to "Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program" in a slew of articles? They didn't get changed when the article and the category were corrected to Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Program?
The articles are listed here: Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship.
Cheers and many thanks in any case... ch (talk) 16:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi CWH and thanks for the message. No magic wand afraid—what you ideally need is someone with a bot who can make the requisite changes. Something in the dim recesses of my addled brain tells me that Ohconfucius may be able to help and if not he may know someone who can. If you need anything that needs admin permissions then please shout. Best, Philg88 18:13, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- THanks -- it's not a major problem, to be sure, but I'm glad for the advice. ch (talk) 19:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

- You need to read this guideline to understand the type of links that are appropriate for Misplaced Pages. In particular, links to commercial sites that aim to promote a business or carry advertising are considered spam and are removed on sight. Philg88 18:15, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
More strange things
Hello! Hope you have had a pleasant weekend. :) The Bulverket is the latest in my series of articles about "Crazy and Strange Things the Vikings did on Gotland". Do you think you could give it a once-over c/e? I'm going to DYK it later. I would love to have that hilarious photo of the partially very sunburned Dr. von Post on the main page! :D Best, w.carter-Talk 21:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
- A very interesting article, kompis, good work. I have applied some spit and polish, which has hopefully improved the structure and flow. Best, Philg88 06:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
- On an entirely different note, there is also this. :) w.carter-Talk 10:28, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- No doubt someone will take care of it. May the force be with you Philg88 13:58, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Advice
Hi Phil -- I have been following an important article that I think needs major reworking. I want to summon the help of many editors by nominating it for Good Article and offering a large number of specific suggestions, so many, in fact, that they would swamp the TalkPAge. Would it be the best thing to make a userspace sandbox and post the link on the TalkPage? Or is swamping the TalkPage not a problem?
I do not want to be critical of the editor who has taken over the article, for there has been a great amount of energy put into it and the editor should be applauded and encouraged to keep up the good work but to follow Misplaced Pages guidelines.
Maybe I should create a userspace article with a neutral name for you and a few others to give advice on. Not sure the best way to proceed.
My larger purpose is to argue that Misplaced Pages has now reached the stage where there are many major articles that need basic work but that editors (such as me) are more tempted to create new articles than to work on old ones. So rather than simply jump in and get into disputes, I want to raise the issue and start a process (of course, the immediate purpose is to make the article acceptable).
Any thoughts? Thanks once again in any case. ch (talk) 16:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hey ch, thanks for the message. I wouldn't worry about swamping the talk page—that's what it's there for—providing the conversation stays on the topic of article improvement and does not degenerate into a general chat. Starting a discussion/sandbox elsewhere will only fragment things and make the attribution trail harder to follow. Feel free to let me know if there is anything specifically content related that you'd like me to comment on. Best, Philg88 17:28, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- I'll keep you posted, as I think that you have a good overview and wide experience.ch (talk) 17:36, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

redirect
Hi there! Redtigerxyz posted an Uncontroversial Move for Uchchaihshravas, but it was not uncontroversial. I would request it be undone as it needs to be discussed at the Talk page; that was not the appropriate tag as I had moved the page due to Misplaced Pages guidelines on the romanisation of Sanskrit. Ogress smash! 21:30, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Ogress and thanks for the message. It's probably best if you post at the requested moves page in the "Requests to revert undiscussed moves" section, that way everyone can see what's happening. Cheers, Philg88 21:34, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Jr. titles
Hello - the comma RfC concluded with a result that commas are allowed. Would you please restore the comma to the Jr. and Sr. titles in your Archive 40? I'd appreciate it - thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 01:22, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi there Dohn joe. I see that the guideline now says "Editors may use or omit a comma before Jr. or Sr. so long as each article is internally consistent" That begs the question as to whether such a large number of page moves serves any useful encyclopedic purpose. Or am I missing something? Cheers, Philg88 08:06, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- The pages were moved under the mistaken impression that the moves were required under the MOS. Since discussion has shown that those moves were not required, this is just to put them at the previous status quo, under the general principle that edits should not be made to change from one accepted style to another. So this would just be reverting those unnecessary edits. Dohn joe (talk) 13:40, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- All done. Philg88 06:44, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Authentic map of languages of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Hi sir, you are looking to me from my culture? Pakhtun? Am i right. if not its okay. The actual and authentic map of languages of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (file link ) is under constant attack from the vandals of either punjab descent or Hinkown dirts, who replace it by a biased version of poor design and shape. Plz, if you have the power of restriction imposition,please retrain these vandals under your supervision in order to protect real information from biasness and corruption. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adilswati (talk • contribs) 15:27, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

John Romita Jr.
Hi, Philg88. On 04:58, 10 June 2015, admin Anthony Appleyard restored John Romita Jr. to this longtime common name after an editor's undiscussed, unilateral move to a version with comma. The reason is that neither he nor his father, John Romita Sr., uses a comma in his name. John Romita Jr.'s own website spells his name without a comma, as do reference sources. I'm not sure why it was moved to a spelling that the subject himself does not use. Nor do references sources. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:32, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I see where from where the confusion stems, and allow me to apologize for that. It looks like John Romita Jr.'s article has been mislabeled for years as John Romita, Jr. even though the son does not use a comma on his official page. Nor do reference sources such as the Grand Comics Database here or the UHMCC here. So what is the procedure here? A move request? Or can an admin move it to the correct spelling as uncontroversial? --Tenebrae (talk) 21:55, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
(talk page stalker)User:Tenebrae: the problem here stems from dozens of undiscussed moves that one editor made and requested from the form "John Doe, Jr." to "John Doe Jr." It has since been determined that the use of commas in Jr. titles is optional. I (and apparently other editors) have been trying to put things back at the previous status quo for the affected articles. If you think that a particular name should or should not include a comma, it's probably best at this point to raise it at the talkpage. Dohn joe (talk) 23:51, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Tenebrae: I don't have a dog in this hunt. I just move things when asked to at WP:RMT, and on occasion move them back again when circumstances change. I'm not going to move the article again as we could end up going round in never-ending circles. I suggest that you post a move request on the page with the rationale you give above and let the process run for seven days. Cheers, Philg88 05:15, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Islands and islands
I have just started Furillen (not done yet). I'm not asking for a ce (the article is small, boring and unimportant), but I do have concerns about some wordings in the text. How do I correctly describe this island which is an island on the coast of another island? In some parts of the text I have to treat the larger island Gotland as a "mainland" beside the smaller island Furillen. Could you just check if I got it right or if I messed up horribly? Best, w.carter-Talk 09:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Another nice article kompis, well done. I couldn't resist a copyedit; it's an addict thing . Philg88 10:25, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks!! You are too helpful for your own good. I had the phrase "... an island off the northeast coast ..." rattling around in the dark recesses of my brain, but was not sure if it was the right one to use. I should heed the "Trust your instincts, Luke." Is there a Copy Editors Anonymous you can join? (And I don't mean the Copy Editors Guild) w.carter-Talk 10:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

DYK for Bulverket
On 26 June 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bulverket, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that thousands of logs that were the 12th-century wooden fort Bulverket, built in the middle of Sweden's Lake Tingstäde, can still be seen through the ice in winter? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bulverket. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Sock puppet investigation
If you are a true nuetral admin then if you have protected kashmir conflict then at the same time I request you to also initiate sock puppet investigation user Human3015 and Rsrikanth see here https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Kashmir_conflict&action=history they edit togather to avoid three edit rule. they have done two times on kashmir confict and i am sure they must have done at other pages too. 39.47.184.157 (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- @39.47.184.157: I came very close to blocking you for edit warring on Kashmir conflict but I concluded that full protection for the article would be more appropriate. If you have a concern about potential sockpuppetry you should report it at the appropriate venue, not here Philg88 18:17, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- Sir please do it because i am unaware of complexities. Similarly see offwiki collaboration, unintentional or otherwise keeping in view https://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Human3015#Those_users ; after reading that plus all indo pak & kashmir relevant Wiki articles edit history; Apparently Kautilya3 Human3015 and CosmicEmperor are doing so and are providing each other back up to avoid 3 revert rule of edit warring. I want justice for all including me.39.47.184.157 (talk) 18:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
- Misplaced Pages frowns on making multiple posts on the same topic seeking admin action and I see you have also reported this at the edit warring noticeboard. What I suggest is that you back off and wait for the dispute resolution process to run its course. Philg88 05:26, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Please remove it from the list of Articles for deletion or please tell me if there are any other changes that are required to be made.
Thanks,
Man Parvesh Singh Randhawa (talk) 07:54, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Manparvesh and thanks for the message. The AfD will run for seven days after which it will be closed or relisted. I'm afraid you'll just have to wait for the outcome. Philg88 11:21, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
Check
Can you check this Draft:Pachikapalam.--Vin09 (talk) 16:14, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Vin09. Looks like this somehow got orphaned after a cut and paste move to the creator's sandbox. I'm planning to delete it unless you have any objections. Cheers, Philg88 16:20, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Kalinjar fort
hello, encyclopedia Britannica and secondary sources are saying that kalinjar fort was not submitted to Mahmud of Ghazni, then why did you revert my edit at Kalinjar fort. 2A03:2880:3010:6FF1:FACE:B00C:0:1 (talk) 12:13, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- Because you have been edit warring on the article. If you have an issue, please discuss it on the Kalinjar Fort talk page, not here. Philg88 14:49, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- Actually Kansas Bear is not accepting Encyclopedia Britannica and other secondary sources. what can I do then? Britannica is obviously neutral. 2A03:2880:3010:6FF6:FACE:B00C:0:1 (talk) 15:13, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
- I have no intention of getting involved in this content dispute, my role is purely to prevent disruption to the Encyclopedia. If you believe that you have a valid case, I suggest you take it to dispute resolution after you have made a convincing case on the talk page. I recommend that you register first, since IP editors are often viewed with suspicion in matters such as this. Philg88 15:19, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

- Because your actions were disruptive. I've suggested what you should do above. Philg88 15:30, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Appeal
Hi Philg88, i would like to appeal your recent decision here: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive_editing_by_Joshua_Jonathan An attempt has been made to resolve the matter at the talk page of the concerned article but this attempt has been unsuccessful. Joshua Jonathan clearly feels it is well within his right to move edits from one section to another, remove section headers, and move his and my edits from a particular section header to a newly created section header. I disagree completely with this approach since it results in confusion. So Admin intervention is necessary now. Given this fact, please tell me the procedure of appealing your decision. Do i take this now to the ArbCom? Or is there some intervening appeal body? Soham321 (talk) 07:04, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Soham321 and thanks for the message. My "decision" merely indicates that your issue with Joshua Jonathan is not one that an admin can resolve. An admin's role, inter alia, is to prevent disruption to the encyclopedia. You may find refactoring talk page comments annoying but as long as it doesn't descend into edit warring then there isn't anything I, or any other admin, can do about what is fundamentally a style issue. I don't know what sort of reception you'd get at ArbCom if you report the matter there but I suggest a better option may be to attempt to resolve your issues with JJ through dialogue. Philg88 07:16, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
- It is not possible to resolve our issues through dialogue because we have a fundamental disagreement on this matter which needs some kind of official clarification. I am therefore taking this matter to ArbCom. Thanks for your prompt response. Soham321 (talk) 07:18, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
