What does "Link Legislative Assembly constituencies to Geographical City article" mean exactly?

Can you explain it a bit on Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Indian politics/Open tasks/Constituencies? Add an example diff that you've done, so that people can see if they are interested. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

@MPGuy2824, I mean Karnal city must have a section called politics with a link to Karnal VS and LS constituencies. This will help the reader who are not aware that VS and LS article exists to be able to easily find them. Venkat TL (talk) 10:38, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

@MPGuy2824 I have added the diff here as you requested. Venkat TL (talk) 10:41, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Seems doable. From the Karnal example, I'll assume that you are doing Punjab. If you haven't finished Goa, then i can start on that tomorrow. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Facepalm Karnal is in Haryana, not Punjab, but i don't think you've started on Goa, so i'll call dibs on that. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:03, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

@MPGuy2824 yes, it is Haryana. I was looking at CM's constituency, when I found it missing. I just updated a few random pages. Please feel free to start wherever you feel like. May be mark the Open task page as 'done upto XYZ' so that I will choose something else among the remaining ones. What does dibs mean? Venkat TL (talk) 11:16, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Dibs="I've claimed it" first definition -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:34, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Lol. Never heard the word before. Thanks for the link. Vocabulary increased. Venkat TL (talk) 11:37, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

I am actually surprised to see that these constituency articles are not even linked to the city/ District articles of the area. This is basic requirement per WP:ORPHAN. What is the point in spending so much efforts to update the constituency article when the reader is not even aware that such a constituency article exists. So I marked it as top priority. Venkat TL (talk) 10:46, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

The constituencies are usually linked from the latest (and sometimes past) elections, as well as the related Legislative Assembly page. But yeah, they should be mentioned in the city and district articles as well. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Adding of Manifestos

To maintain WP:NEUTRALITY, either add the manifestos of all main parties contesting the election or just don't add it for only one party, otherwise it looks like an ad campaign of a particular party, for which Misplaced Pages is not a forum. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 18:46, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Hemant Dabral, What is stopping you from adding the Manifesto you believe is missing ? You have time to remove something but not the time to add what you claim is missing.

Also can you please indicate what source are you using to tweak the names of candidates? For example you changed the name of one Sumant (a guy) to Suman (a feminine name). This is not appropriate. Venkat TL (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

I have reverted the disruptive removal of sourced content. Please see MOS:INDELECT Add other parties if you want. Stop removing it again and again. Venkat TL (talk) 18:55, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Venkat TL, It draws suspicion that you're editing the election article on behalf of Aam Aadmi Party. How you're so passionate and assertive about adding only AAP manifesto and not other parties' manifesto? If you can find "credible sources" about AAP manifesto why can't you find credible sources for BJP and Congress manifesto? Is this a paid edit or what? — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 12:16, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

It draws suspicion that you are messing up with the names of Aam Aadmi Party candidates and changing a man's name into feminine's name. Why? Another such edit will be reported for Vandalism. Who are you to order me what I should do and what I should add. Stop bothering me with your nonsense. If you can find good sources what is stopping you to add it. Did you read the page WP:BOLD? Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages is a volunteer service Should answer your questions. If you make another bad faith comment on this page it will be summarily reverted. Venkat TL (talk) 13:35, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Old user

@Pri2000:, I am suspicious that Prince1230 is the new sock of Princepratap1234. Same username and common article. May be it is not enough for SPI yet, letting you know. Venkat TL (talk) 05:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Looks like the new account already got blocked due to vandalism. Venkat TL (talk) 11:08, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

AFDs

Hi, would you mind listing AfDs like this in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism in future? I'm loath to follow the one for India, as there'll be a ton of stuff in there that doesn't interest me, and I would have liked to have commented on this one. Thanks! Dāsānudāsa (talk) 10:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok. The wikiproject Deletion members also patrol the AfDs and they add the projects if they feel it is missing. Seems like no one felt it was applicable. You can improve its section on the ISKCON article. Venkat TL (talk) 11:08, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 11:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	It's always oddly satisfying to see lists alphabetized. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 08:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you I dream of horses. Indeed it is satisfying. As another benefit, this avoids the situation where users engage in trivial edit wars on the ordering.--Venkat TL (talk) 08:46, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Contact

Hi sir @User:Venkat TL how can I contact you? Marsh-Aldenruffs (talk) 05:26, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@Marsh-Aldenruffs here on this talk page. Venkat TL (talk) 08:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

February 2022

Your recent editing history at 2022 hijab row in Karnataka shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You are way over 3 reverts. You need to desist. Kautilya3 (talk) 17:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
