== Tech News: 2024-51 ==
The content that you deleted was under the controversies section; and hence its neutrality was conditioned by that. The current Misplaced Pages listing for Ms Dutt reads like an advert, it is sanitised and idealised.


<section begin="technews-2024-W51"/><div class="plainlinks">
It is a hagiography, but to people in India and around the world the NDTV channel and Ms Dutt have long been known of her inherent bias and anti-Hindu, pro-Muslim agenda (I believe that her husband is Muslim). It is an issue as well as I nite that her spouse's details have also been removed.

'''Weekly highlight'''
The issue of the NDTV and Barkha Dutt silencing a blogger under the threat of legal action in the Netherlands should be repulsive to anyone who cherishes free speech and the free-flow of ideas. It is time that this incident be included as it is actual event and is documented.

:Whether or not the facts are true is actually immaterial in this case. The way you ''wrote'' about those facts was very non-neutral, and for that reason we cannot accept that writing into Misplaced Pages. I would suggest using the article's talk page to ask for people's opinion about how to word and weigh the facts neutrally so that they're suitable for use in Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 15:58, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments (even your condescension). By your standard the entire article needs reworking. There are numerous 'citations needed' Every statement that lacked citation was positive. Somehow that is allowed in Misplaced Pages.

==Notes at the Requests page==
Objectivity is needed. In order for you to be consistent please remove those comments too.
Hi Fluffernutter, just a note about the ]. As you may know, that page is regularly archived by a bot, which removes the request about 24 hours after someone posts {{tl|Done}} followed by a sig and a timestamp there. Any notes you leave for requesters or project coordinators will be removed as well. For that reason, it's usually best to leave notes for requesters on ''their'' talk pages, and notes for coordinators and the wider copy-editing community on the ] (REQ Talk), where discussions can continue uninterrupted. Some of us usually copy them over to REQ talk for future reference. Thanks for your work and understanding. Cheers, ''']''' 10:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC).

::Seriously, though, what is the deal with that article? It's an obvious orphan, yet I couldn't believe how long the edit warring had gone on when I found it (that was when Reaper protected it).

:::Fluffernutter, I missed that, and I have thought hard about your request, particularly as the item is unsourced, but decided not to because (a) having protected and cited ], I don't want to seem to be adjusting the content, and (b) without that, it really is a bit of a hagiography. I posted at ], and other people are taking an interest, and I have invited the edit-warriors to come to the talk page, so I will probably unprotect tomorrow and start blocking if edit-warring resumes.

<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap">
Hello, Fluffernutter. While I've been a long-time user and contributor, when it comes to reporting / dealing with vandalism, I'm sorta' in the dark. I noticed you and a few other users have been reverting edits to this page. You last warned the anonymous user ] yesterday about vandalism to the page. It seems this user made more erroneous and vandalous edits today. I think I've reverted them properly, but I'm not sure what to do next. Your warning seemed to indicate the IP would be potentially blocked for the short term. However, I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. ] (]) 18:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
<div style="flex: 1 0 20em">
:Hi! It looks like you fixed most of what they did - I made one more small fix, but other than that, you got it all. I've blocked the IP for 48 hours for continuing to vandalise. In general, if someone is vandalising despite warnings, you should report them to ] - the admins there handle blocking, etc in response to vandalism. If you want to do some reading-up on how you can help handle vandalism, ] gives a good overview of what processes we have outlined for how to deal with it. Thanks for your help! ] (]) 19:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

::Thanks for the quick response. I'll definitely be sure to follow up by reading the suggested material. I always feel uncomfortable dealing with vandalism and striking a compromise when it comes to disputes of wiki material. But it's a reality of this site, I suppose.

Notes at the Requests page

Hi Fluffernutter, just a note about the GOCE Requests page. As you may know, that page is regularly archived by a bot, which removes the request about 24 hours after someone posts {{Done}} followed by a sig and a timestamp there. Any notes you leave for requesters or project coordinators will be removed as well. For that reason, it's usually best to leave notes for requesters on their talk pages, and notes for coordinators and the wider copy-editing community on the Requests page talk (REQ Talk), where discussions can continue uninterrupted. Some of us usually copy them over to REQ talk for future reference. Thanks for your work and understanding. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 10:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC).

@Baffle gab1978: Aha! I had noticed you copying my comments to the talk page and started to wonder why, just hadn't gotten my attention span around to actually asking yet. Thank you so much for the clarification, and for cleaning up after me. I'll start using requester talk pages :) Fluffernutter (talk) 12:16, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
