Fylindfotberserk

@Fylindfotberserk,

Thanks for the information. The Bangalore wiki page mentions about the Bengaluru and only the matter of time all the Bangalore will be edited as Bengaluru in the Wiki Pages considering the amount of articles and it will take time to rewrite all the articles.

Please take part in the discussion. Lakshmi Putrudu, the dubbed version of this film, should not have a wiki page. The discussion is located on the page titled Vambu Sandai. Thank you. --DragoMynaa

Welcome, welcome, welcome Fylindfotberserk! I'm glad that you are joining the drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

FYI, BlackOrchidd is topic banned from all IPA topics (re your comment on their talk page). --RegentsPark (comment) 13:03, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@RegentsPark: Oh.. OK. Thanks. Can you take care of that? That IP range has made a mess of that article. There is another article [1], where the IP is active. I've notified the page creator [2]. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I took a look but this would be a content fix and I can't do that. RegentsPark (comment) 07:56, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey Fylindfotberserk, I know you've been active in fixing the disruption those Italian IPs (most notably the 93* IPs) caused in various Indian/Punjabi related articles-[3]. I just wanted to let you know they've now started to use various accounts like GuruRavidasPuttar, DeraBallanOfficial and now SantwinderSingh. Hopefully, we can get their disruption limited by being vigilant on the pages they often target. Thanks. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 11:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Southasianhistorian8: Thanks for the heads up. I'll watchlist and keep an eye over those. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:27, 5 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I was about to ‘notdone’ the guy’s semi request under it being gibberish / possible vandalism (Give it ‘possible’ for AGF and BITE’s sake). Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Hi@Fylindfotberserk, Thanks for regularly update date style fixes on Andhra Pradesh. I use source editor and even though I select from the displayed calendar, the resulting date is always in YYYY-MM-DD order. If I try to use Indian date order, it results in blank. Is there a way to properly get the date in Indian date format? Arjunaraoc (talk) 12:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Arjunaraoc: Well thanks for asking, I use RefToolbar, which when enabled in our "Preferences" setting, adds a "cite" button to the editing toolbar. So when you use source editing, you can select one of the four common cite options - web, news, book and journal. After you select one, a form appears. You have to put the reference link in the URL dialogue box and click on 'Autofill' button (magnifying glass symbol). It will automatically populate the most of the fields, and would take the default dateformat from your computer for the 'date' dialogue box. You can fill the 'access-date' by clicking on the 'Insert current date' button. Some fields may be left blank or incorrectly filled, for which you have to check it.

For correcting the dateformat already present reference, I use a script. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:01, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello there! I just want to say thank you about your report on YilevBot's a few hundredth sockpuppet account, your analysis is awesome, even I can't spot it on idwiki (because they avoid it it seems). So here's some delicious JPG'ed chocolate for you.

Hey, could you take a look at this threat? Thanks. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, this user keeps adding information from Sacnik. Please take a look? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:25, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have made a subtle change to the infobox at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and explained the reasons for it at Talk:Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus#The name in the infobox. When considering the edit, please remember that:

• If the name field is not used in the infobox template, the article name is displayed just as if it appeared in the infobox template's name field.
• The native name field is displayed immediately below the article name in the infobox.

With no name field to change, and the disruptive editor's preferred name appearing high in the infobox, it is possible that the disruptive editor will go away.-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:24, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Toddy1: That's a very good idea actually. Hope that they do not get too creative with the name parameter. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:32, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Any sources for this statement of yours: Infobox name and article title should match? Keivan.f^Talk 20:18, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Keivan.f: Article title / WP:COMMONNAME. It is mentioned in the Template:Infobox person documentation for the said parameter - "Common name of person". Besides, this is how most articles are. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:22, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not all of the articles though. Priyanka Chopra pops to mind, which to me implies that this is not a policy but rather a guideline that may or may not be followed. Regardless, I won't be challenging your edit. Just wanted to know your rationale. Keivan.f^Talk 20:24, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Keivan.f: I'm not aware of that particular article's history. If it is a recent change, it can be reverte4, or if longstanding then can be discussed in its t/p. The default is the common name. It iterates to the article name if the parameter is left blank even. I don't see a reason why we should not highlight the WP:COMMONNAMEs / article names. The other less known names have specific parameters ('birth_name', 'nickname' and 'other_names') for the pupose. And if necessary, we can have a move request / RfC. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:33, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Also infobox is the first thing a WP:READER comes across in the mobile version of a Wiki article, hence more logical for the common name to be highlighted. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:40, 4 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the email, I wasn't aware of the background. I gave the lack of sources as the reason for my revert, but can see that there may be good reasons to exclude the content even if they attempt to source it. --Worldbruce (talk) 21:43, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Worldbruce: Most welcome welcome  . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I think my edit [4] I was looking at an old version and totally missed you had reverted it already. Completely my mistake! I've reported them to AIV (and they've been blocked for 24 hours) for the continued unsourced edits, but from the history on Shedin Dekha Hoyechilo, I think they're a sock of Halud Foressa. Ravensfire (talk) 18:51, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ravensfire: I was able to guess that  . I only reverted the long-plot and castlist stuff. If necessary, we can restore this version by "GreenC bot". And thanks for the notification, I've watchlisted SPI case page and some of the articles they trawl. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:20, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Pachu Kannan: Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:20, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am having a confusion regarding the Nationality and Citizenship column in Infobox for Indian politicians, should we use these 2 or any one in the BLPs of Indian politicians which are not much popular or are elect for the first time and are not special case regarding their Nationality or Citizenship. Thanks TheSlumPanda (talk) 09:21, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TheSlumPanda: According to WP:INFOBOXNTLY, both 'nationality' and 'citizen' parameters are not needed if the 'birth_place' is mentioned. However, if 'birth_place' is empty, 'nationality' is enough. 'Citizen' is only important for non-resident Indians. But for politicians in India, they have be an Indian citizen to run for elections. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:27, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your guidance TheSlumPanda (talk) 16:07, 26 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bagpat district, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ajay Kumar.

Now this editor is indulging in personal attacks WP:CIVIL Alaya12345 (talk) 15:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello please check this user Alya12345 I suspect he is a sockpupet returning from the former account wordain what they have in common is that they are both interested in the tribes of northeastern India and the northeastern states. The latest edit is in the state of Nagaland who again added the map File:Mong_Mao-the_detail_map.svg to the history article (कड़वी मुस्कान) (talk) 13:36, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@HistoryofIran, Austronesier, and Gotitbro: Do you guys know who is this. A Gurjar POV pusher for sure, like PakistaniHistorian, but this guy also uses an Indian IP [5]. Definitely a sock. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Gotitbro: See this, same Uttakhand relaed POV like this. Also note this revert of your edit. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:31, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Most likely this Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Anujror. I have filed an SPI here (another one his recent sock networks), comments are welcome.

IPs from this network have ravaged simple and enwiki. If Category:Gurjar clans of India is extensively filled you know the networks active. Gotitbro (talk) 13:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Socky edits from IPs outside India (like this) [Pakistan here] perhaps point towards meatpuppetry. Gotitbro (talk) 13:40, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hmm, don't have a clue right now. If I find anything, I'll let you know. HistoryofIran (talk) 01:01, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Fylindfotberserk sir, today i checked something randomly that on wikipedia there are accounts of celebrities who are popular only due to reels or TikTok videos. But when i checked scientist names on Wikipedia then i found that are are many highly cited scientists which do not have wikipedia page. For eg. Dipanwita Dutta, she is the most cited author in India as per AD Scientific Index and have more than 2.8 lakh citations. and not only she there are many scientists like this. I want to ask you that should i create wikipedia article on such great scientists. Thanks TheSlumPanda (talk) 06:01, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TheSlumPanda: Sadly yes. And I'm sure majority were just created by fans, instead of getting drafted first. The latter process would've got majority of them stalled or deleted. You can create them scientist articles based on WP:NPROF. I've created quite a few politician articles based on WP:NPOL, only one got deleted, that too because of vague reasons, like him being a mayor. Ironically, another mayor's article was 'kept' who had less coverage than my one. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your guidance sir , surely i will create articles on such scientists.. TheSlumPanda (talk) 17:10, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TheSlumPanda: Most welcome, and happy editing  . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:14, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sir i have created an article on Dipanwita Dutta, can you suggest me some improvements? TheSlumPanda (talk) 17:49, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@TheSlumPanda: Nice work. Please add a few more WP:Independent sources. That would be good to go as of now IMO. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:22, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. I will cite some more independent sources as soon i will find. TheSlumPanda (talk) 20:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
