Request reason:
Today was just like any other day on Wikipedia for me. I was continuing with one of my own independent volunteer projects here which involved exploring the world through Wikipedia. In the recent past I had done a lot of editing related to India, from where I am and live currently. I wanted a short change. So I started my own little project that allowed me to explore the WikiWorld in an organised manner, even hoping that I could convert it into another Signpost article. So today I was in Eritrea. And lo and behold I was blocked from editing and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the huge message of the same. This is my first time that I have to request an unblock.
>>> IN SHORT, I request that the underlying IP be unblocked. (Despite the long story above, I know it probably has nothing to do with my editing and in lay terms is for other edits from users in the similar range.) I also used the Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS) method by mistake.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again.

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Line of Control has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. There are a number of places in the article where the information needs to be updated. I would suggest you identify these and try to find more recent information before submitting it for GA consideration. While I was editing the article another user removed information on sniper deaths. Their reason for doing so is unclear to me. I am assuming they view the Indian Army's reporting is exaggerated or wrong from the edit summary.
Best of luck with the GAN when you get to it.

Hi DTM, if you are getting stuck in a range block, you might need to apply for a WP:IP block exemption. Have you looked into that? -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 21:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
User:Kautilya3, a very important retrospective quote from Takshashila's recent discussion document that acknowledges territory loss:
In spring of 2020, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) occupied fresh territory on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control and prevented Indian troops from patrolling where they have for several years, resulting in the deaths of soldiers on the border for the first time in 45 years. India now has a live border with China—militarised and disputed—undoing the work of several years. [1]
This can be summarised to add weightage to the intro/lede/body of
2020–2021 China–India skirmishes. Nothing new, but a solid quote with a notable list of authors. (If I am blocked permanently please do add this if you feel it will serve the purpose.) One of the authors wrote a
follow-up opinion piece with some interesting phrases.

Sushant Singh comments on the PLA video releases and, in the article, links to the Wikipedia section B._Santosh_Babu#Death. This is the first time I have seen anybody do so.
I haven't looked at the section before. I now see that it is loaded with India Today narratives, which have been quite suspect throughout the Modi Raj. It may be time to take it to WP:RSN so that we don't get stuck in infamy. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 07:11, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't think these are correct. Pakistan has not defined the eastern border of its claim. Neither has China defined its western border officially. Whatever is depicted on Chinese maps changes practically every year, anyway, and it definitely doesn't match what India or any other country draws. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 20:43, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Both Fowler&fowler and I, who have done the most writing on the Kashmir conflict issues, have always supported putting the CIA map on our pages and nothing else. Various claims that the individual countries make are of no value whatsover, except to appease their nationalist populations. If the Wikimedia tells us that we are legally required to include any claim maps, I will ask them to get the copyright released for the official maps, and then I will include them without any comment.
The DWP paper that you have cited, which is quite valuable, has an official map of the Survey of Pakistan. The only difference between that and the CIA map is that it extends the LOC across Siachen. And, we know that that is facutally false. The LOC is defined in a signed document, and it ends at NJ9842. And then the eastern border is "undefined". Why do we need a picture to say that something is undefined? It can be said in words equally well.
The Chinese claims map in the paper are reproduced from Al Jazeera, which was just made up by a journalist with no authenticity whatsoever. Newspapers are only reliable for "news", not for archivable information. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 15:03, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure if there is already an article covering this and what it should be called:
Or just pack it in with all the other impacts:
Does this come under:
Is the interpretation one that includes Afghanistan or just refers to an undivided India under the current boundaries? Or is it an abstract concept, a catchphrase, like:
Or maybe this line of thought is an emotional over-reaction based on some news headlines and it is still not notable enough according to
Wikipedia guidelines and policies to create a separate article.
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
Create a draft then. Clinically, while editing
M. S. Swaminathan, this line of thought, his dream of, and his practical efforts towards, zero hunger, is so so so far away. The farmers' protest goes on. The hundreds of recommendations of the expert committees. The rankings of hunger and nutrition.
(If you're wondering what this is, it is just a reminder for myself to see if new articles are required, or if content needs to be added into existing ones. Some words I am just randomly adding and ending with which mean nothing- We know the answers. Not the solutions.)

Akthar Mohammed of Kangori, a remote hamlet in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, had a large family and no food for them. He had a terrible choice to make. He was offered wheat in exchange for his sons, Sher and Baz, aged ten and five. He gave up his sons and heartbrokenly, but candidly, said, “I miss my sons, but there was nothing to eat.” [10]

I nominated
Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus for deletion (AFD) at 22:03, 3 January 2022 and wrote one word for the reason "propaganda".
This was based on the article in general, how it was being edited by others during my interaction with the article, and the talk page conversations. But the AFD immediately succeeded an edit by another Wikipedia user,
Fowler&fowler, where a quote (That this House commemorates with deep sadness...
) was compressed and replaced by "a motion expressed in one sentence about a subject of interest of the nominator, but rarely discussed". Here both of us aren't abiding by Wikipedia policies in various way, and there is a severe lack of good faith. The current state of the article shows this lack of good faith.
Kautilya3 is correct when they wrote over at the ANI - Well, it won't be the first time somebody lost their head over Kashmir. DiplomatTesterMan, please take a break and cool off.
I read this today and thank you for the comment, I did take a break. It is funny how the
ANI section is titled "Compromised account".
Fowler&fowler pushed India towards a FA, I guess I should listen to that argument. My action should not have been an AFD, but a simple message pointing all this out on the talk page. I have stayed away from the article since the AFD and am ready to stay away long term in the same way I have stayed away from the article Crowd control in Jammu and Kashmir which I also nominated for deletion in 2019. However, I think I can work out and figure how to stay with the exodus talk page this time. DTM ( talk) 11:07, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Request reason:
Today was just like any other day on Wikipedia for me. I was continuing with one of my own independent volunteer projects here which involved exploring the world through Wikipedia. In the recent past I had done a lot of editing related to India, from where I am and live currently. I wanted a short change. So I started my own little project that allowed me to explore the WikiWorld in an organised manner, even hoping that I could convert it into another Signpost article. So today I was in Eritrea. And lo and behold I was blocked from editing and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the huge message of the same. This is my first time that I have to request an unblock.
>>> IN SHORT, I request that the underlying IP be unblocked. (Despite the long story above, I know it probably has nothing to do with my editing and in lay terms is for other edits from users in the similar range.) I also used the Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS) method by mistake.

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{ unblock}} template again.

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Line of Control has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. There are a number of places in the article where the information needs to be updated. I would suggest you identify these and try to find more recent information before submitting it for GA consideration. While I was editing the article another user removed information on sniper deaths. Their reason for doing so is unclear to me. I am assuming they view the Indian Army's reporting is exaggerated or wrong from the edit summary.
Best of luck with the GAN when you get to it.

Hi DTM, if you are getting stuck in a range block, you might need to apply for a WP:IP block exemption. Have you looked into that? -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 21:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
User:Kautilya3, a very important retrospective quote from Takshashila's recent discussion document that acknowledges territory loss:
In spring of 2020, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) occupied fresh territory on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control and prevented Indian troops from patrolling where they have for several years, resulting in the deaths of soldiers on the border for the first time in 45 years. India now has a live border with China—militarised and disputed—undoing the work of several years. [1]
This can be summarised to add weightage to the intro/lede/body of
2020–2021 China–India skirmishes. Nothing new, but a solid quote with a notable list of authors. (If I am blocked permanently please do add this if you feel it will serve the purpose.) One of the authors wrote a
follow-up opinion piece with some interesting phrases.

Sushant Singh comments on the PLA video releases and, in the article, links to the Wikipedia section B._Santosh_Babu#Death. This is the first time I have seen anybody do so.
I haven't looked at the section before. I now see that it is loaded with India Today narratives, which have been quite suspect throughout the Modi Raj. It may be time to take it to WP:RSN so that we don't get stuck in infamy. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 07:11, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't think these are correct. Pakistan has not defined the eastern border of its claim. Neither has China defined its western border officially. Whatever is depicted on Chinese maps changes practically every year, anyway, and it definitely doesn't match what India or any other country draws. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 20:43, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
Both Fowler&fowler and I, who have done the most writing on the Kashmir conflict issues, have always supported putting the CIA map on our pages and nothing else. Various claims that the individual countries make are of no value whatsover, except to appease their nationalist populations. If the Wikimedia tells us that we are legally required to include any claim maps, I will ask them to get the copyright released for the official maps, and then I will include them without any comment.
The DWP paper that you have cited, which is quite valuable, has an official map of the Survey of Pakistan. The only difference between that and the CIA map is that it extends the LOC across Siachen. And, we know that that is facutally false. The LOC is defined in a signed document, and it ends at NJ9842. And then the eastern border is "undefined". Why do we need a picture to say that something is undefined? It can be said in words equally well.
The Chinese claims map in the paper are reproduced from Al Jazeera, which was just made up by a journalist with no authenticity whatsoever. Newspapers are only reliable for "news", not for archivable information. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 15:03, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure if there is already an article covering this and what it should be called:
Or just pack it in with all the other impacts:
Does this come under:
Is the interpretation one that includes Afghanistan or just refers to an undivided India under the current boundaries? Or is it an abstract concept, a catchphrase, like:
Or maybe this line of thought is an emotional over-reaction based on some news headlines and it is still not notable enough according to
Wikipedia guidelines and policies to create a separate article.
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
Create a draft then. Clinically, while editing
M. S. Swaminathan, this line of thought, his dream of, and his practical efforts towards, zero hunger, is so so so far away. The farmers' protest goes on. The hundreds of recommendations of the expert committees. The rankings of hunger and nutrition.
(If you're wondering what this is, it is just a reminder for myself to see if new articles are required, or if content needs to be added into existing ones. Some words I am just randomly adding and ending with which mean nothing- We know the answers. Not the solutions.)

Akthar Mohammed of Kangori, a remote hamlet in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, had a large family and no food for them. He had a terrible choice to make. He was offered wheat in exchange for his sons, Sher and Baz, aged ten and five. He gave up his sons and heartbrokenly, but candidly, said, “I miss my sons, but there was nothing to eat.” [10]

I nominated
Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus for deletion (AFD) at 22:03, 3 January 2022 and wrote one word for the reason "propaganda".
This was based on the article in general, how it was being edited by others during my interaction with the article, and the talk page conversations. But the AFD immediately succeeded an edit by another Wikipedia user,
Fowler&fowler, where a quote (That this House commemorates with deep sadness...
) was compressed and replaced by "a motion expressed in one sentence about a subject of interest of the nominator, but rarely discussed". Here both of us aren't abiding by Wikipedia policies in various way, and there is a severe lack of good faith. The current state of the article shows this lack of good faith.
Kautilya3 is correct when they wrote over at the ANI - Well, it won't be the first time somebody lost their head over Kashmir. DiplomatTesterMan, please take a break and cool off.
I read this today and thank you for the comment, I did take a break. It is funny how the
ANI section is titled "Compromised account".
Fowler&fowler pushed India towards a FA, I guess I should listen to that argument. My action should not have been an AFD, but a simple message pointing all this out on the talk page. I have stayed away from the article since the AFD and am ready to stay away long term in the same way I have stayed away from the article Crowd control in Jammu and Kashmir which I also nominated for deletion in 2019. However, I think I can work out and figure how to stay with the exodus talk page this time. DTM ( talk) 11:07, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
