ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Badminton

Have you spoken to the editor in question about his edits? I can take a look, but I know very little about badminton. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:10, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

No, I haven't! So, now I will leave a message to him & will tell you regarding the consequences later.-NitinMlk (talk) 02:17, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Please do. You might also want to talk to the folks over at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Badminton; they can give you better guidance than I. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I will talk to both of them.-NitinMlk (talk) 02:28, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

BWF Continental Championships

According to your edit in Juliane Schenk page, Euro Championships are categorized as GPG instead of Continental Championships. If I remembered correctly, it is considered a CC which gives points equivalent to GPG level (same as others, with exception of Asia Champs which has SS point equivalent). If we make Euro Champs as GPG, I think it is rather pointless we created the color-coding for CC. I think we should leave the European Championships as CC instead of GPG. Griff88 (talk) 10:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Griff88, if all of the Continental Individual/Team Championships are graded by the BWF then you are right that 'Continental Championships' category is useless. But, at first glace, it seemed to me that few CC events aren't graded. And for those non-ranking CC events I added the category. If you are assured that every CC event since the introduction of the new ranking system (in 2007) is being graded by the BWF then we should remove the category. But we have to be assured about it.-NitinMlk (talk) 10:51, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

BWF color code

Hi, NitinMlk. I changed BWF tournament color code in Grand Prix level from #00FFFF to #9ae8e8 for better visibility. I think the former really strikes in the eye if located between tournament with darker colors. Griff88 (talk) 13:56, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Need advice regarding a disruptive editor

If you feel it is right, then make a bold move, by revert.

Yes, i believe so, it is successor of Jarmur (account), if you feel it is the need of action, then go through to WP:SPI.

Sorry, a bit late reply. --Aleenf1 06:51, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Aleen, thanks for the guidance! If he will persist with disruptive editing then, after warning him one more time, I will try to gather evidence against him for the WP:SPI.-NitinMlk (talk) 16:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have created an article under the title Anita Sheoran with authentic citations. Later I found out a stub of the same wrestler with an incorrect title, namely Anita Tomar. As many a times Anita Sheoran's first name is mentioned in the news, the aforementioned stub can be retitled as Anita (wrestler) - to avoid confusion among readers. But I am unable to move the page from Anita Tomar to Anita (wrestler). So, I need help regarding this.-NitinMlk (talk) 08:22, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

So are you saying that Anita Tomar and Anita Sheron are the one and exact person? If so, the Anita Tomar article should not be a separate article if she is actually Anita Sheron. Please clarify before I continue. SwisterTwister talk 08:24, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

SwisterTwister, yes, they are the same person! Anita Sheoran won a gold medal at the 2010 CWG on the same day as that of Alka Tomar. And news articles flashed their names together in the headlines. So, some confused editor thought that Anita is sister of Alka Tomar. And created the article with the incorrect title. And that article has stayed till date. So, to clarify her name, I have added dozens of citations in the Anita Sheoran's article. The citations include her official Profile (as published by the IOA) & an interview of her parents.-NitinMlk (talk) 08:34, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

So just to be clear Anita Tomar does not exist and the article should be deleted now that you have corrected the linked articles-yes?Peter Rehse (talk) 12:03, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Yes.-NitinMlk (talk) 12:05, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Nice article by the way. I put a speedy tag on the old one - which may work (or not).Peter Rehse (talk) 12:14, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for supporting me all the way! It was my first article & I completed it in haste. Hopefully my next article will be better than the 'Start-class'. :) - NitinMlk (talk) 12:23, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

People from Punjab

The potential problem with removals such as this is that they may have been born at a time when Pakistan did not exist. In that case, they were indeed born in Punjab, India. I mean, strictly speaking, it would be Punjab, British India, but this just goes to demonstrate how messy the criteria for these lists can be.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone challenges that removal. - Sitush (talk) 13:32, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: I understand your point but the title of the article clearly states Punjab, India. It doesn't say British India's Punjab. So, it should only include the people born & raised in the present-day India's Punjab.-NitinMlk (talk) 13:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: I said that because Punjab, India is totally different from the erstwhile Punjab Province (British India). But if I got it wrong then please tell me. And I will delete my all the relevant edits on that page.-NitinMlk (talk) 13:47, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

I am not saying you are wrong. I just think it may be challenged somewhere down the line. The same might apply to some names that I removed. At that point we would have to consider consensus, although it is blindingly obvious that a lot of the entries should not have been there because they existed entirely due to alleged ethnicity, not where people were actually from. - Sitush (talk) 15:15, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: Ok, I won't make further edits on this page till we see their response. But if they want to include Pakistani Punjabis then they must alter the article's title.-NitinMlk (talk) 15:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't see any reason why you should stop. - Sitush (talk) 16:02, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: Ok, in the coming days, I will try to add birth-related citations on the listed people's main pages. Once that is done then there will be lesser chances of edit-warring. BTW, the one thing I don't like is edit-warring. But I think it's unavoidable.-NitinMlk (talk) 16:14, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

You don't have to engage in warring. You make a bold edit, someone reverts you, then take it to the talk page and sort it out there. Yes, there are times when it seems unavoidable, particularly if dealing with vandals or incompetents, but you'll only ever get so far that way in any event because of WP:3RR. - Sitush (talk) 16:23, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: Ok. So, what do think regarding Pakistani Punjabis inclusion on that page. Should they be kept there? Or should only those be kept who were born in the area which is now under Indian Punjab.-NitinMlk (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

I really don't know the answer to that because the entire purpose of the list is pretty vague. I think it probably needs to be raised on the talk page and perhaps also a link to that discussion could be posted at WT:INB so that uninvolved people can perhaps provide some thoughts. Any mention at WT:INB needs to be neutral, eg: "I've opened a discussion at regarding the scope of the list and perhaps also its title. Thoughts would be appreciated because Punjab, India can mean different things to different people and the region has had various boundaries over the years." - Sitush (talk) 16:44, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: Seems like I will learn something useful even earlier than I thought.-NitinMlk (talk) 16:49, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: I am clueless regarding this all. So, who will actually open the talk?-NitinMlk (talk) 16:56, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

You can do it - don't be afraid. Just ask the question: what is the scope of this list etc? If you have strong views about what you think it should be then mention those also. I could do it for you but you'll only learn well if you have a go. I'll watch your back, so don't worry about upsetting people. Just remain calm. - Sitush (talk) 17:01, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: Ok. I will post it within few hours because now I have some other stuff to complete. And thanks for the guidance!-NitinMlk (talk) 17:04, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Sitush: I've posted a query on the article's talk page & mentioned regarding it at the WT:INB. One thing which is very clear is that articles like this one won't disappear because if this one gets deleted then the very next day someone will post its messier version. And you will have to start the cleanup from the scratch. So, it's better to define it's meaning & scope clearly. And sort it out for once and all. After that happens, this article won't bother much.-NitinMlk (talk) 20:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Re: Delhi

Re your message: I made a mistake when trying to remove the spam. I think what happened is that I used to the article history diff to locate the spam, but then I started the edit using that old revision diff instead of starting the edit from the current revision. I wasn't aware that I started on the wrong spot, removed the spam, and failed to do a diff before I saved it. My mistake. I reverted my changed and removed the spam the correct way. Sorry about that. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:33, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

@Gogo Dodo: Thanks. Now I will sort out the 'Demographics' section. - NitinMlk (talk) 04:37, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry that you have to redo your edits to the Demographics section. Hopefully it isn't too much work. I didn't want to make a further mess of things my trying to merge your changes back into my spam removal and screw things up for a second time. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:41, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

@Gogo Dodo: It's no big deal. I will sort that out within few seconds. :) NitinMlk (talk) 04:44, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Great! =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:51, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

re:Welcome (Krishna Poonia)

Good evening, today I saw your message. Before canceling my edit on Krishna Poonia's birthday, I invite you to read the quoted sources. Both in the article and in the biography of the IAAF it is indicated that the year of its birth is 1982, as I rightly wrote. The year inserted in the page (1977) is wrong. Check it better before deleting the changes. --Mattew666 (talk) 17:35, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Mattew666. I read the present revision's ref 1 (of CGF) which mentions the year of birth as 1977, but the ref 3 (of IAAF) mentions it as 1982. Actually, I was the one who added both of these references last year, as can be seen from my this & this edit. Ironically, last year I read the IAAF ref & changed the birth year from 1977 to 1982, as can be seen in this edit. But this year I read the CGF ref & changed it back to 1977, as can be seen in this edit. - NitinMlk (talk) 23:02, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bhagana, Hisar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hisar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hounding

Since which time you have become interested in disrupting an article about an art gallery situated in the UK? Or this is an emerging pattern of your WP:WIKIHOUNDING? Accesscrawl (talk) 04:00, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Your revert was vandalistic in nature, but I am assuming good faith. Please see User talk:Accesscrawl#Vandalistic edit. - NitinMlk (talk) 04:23, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Read WP:NOTVAND and follow WP:BRD, though I would rather recommend you to stop this hounding all together. Accesscrawl (talk) 04:50, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
