@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.

I'm sorry but several notable person articles on Wikipedia have their castes mentioned as well, despite lack of self-identification, on account of existing third-party sources. I can keep bringing up examples. One example is Abhijit Banerjee, fellow Nobel Prize winner. He's never publicly stated he's a Brahmin, but there are numerous third party sources that attest to that claim. If mention of caste is justified in that article, for instance, it completely is, in the case of Amartya Sen as well. However, you may start a discussion on the talk page if you have a dispute vis a vis the same. Thanks. Dissoxciate (talk) 11:02, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dissoxciate: Abide by the policy, not whataboutism. You are free to remove caste from BLPs if those lack self-identification. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:08, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not whataboutism in the slightest. I'm stating a reason for my actions. A good chunk of living person articles on Wikipedia do not abide by the policy, hence the example. Dissoxciate (talk) 11:10, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dissoxciate: Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Experienced users can't keep a tab on all the BLPs. As I said, you are free to remove caste from BLPs that lack self-identification. The policies are what we abide by, no exceptions. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:12, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Could you please move Ngareima back to Ngaleima (original title + common name)? It was moved by someone without discussion. Technically, it was "undiscussed move" as well. Besides, all the articles of the sister wikipedias of other languages use the common title. Haoreima (talk) 05:10, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

@Matticusmadness: Most welcome. And thanks for the cookie, I'm literally having some right now . - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Thank you very much Nyilvoskt, much needed. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, nice to meet you also. /ɲə/-lvoskt (bicara) 12:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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 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 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:COMMONNMAEs / 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]
