Any suggestion of the best course of action regarding Tarohly? Someone has just recreated a hopeless stub, while the prior version of the article was prodded. - Sitush ( talk) 11:38, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
@ Sitush: Curiosity piqued. However, each to their own .... Best, Philg88 ♦ talk 15:26, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
In view of the fact that a proper discussion and consensus process has never taken place and given the ridiculous number of changes to the title of this article, can you please revert it back to its original title of The Oval and then formally invite the discussion to proceed so that a consensus can be established re the future title. As things stand, the process has been reduced to a complete shambles by people who are intent to doing their own thing without any regard to the cricket project which has hundreds of links to the original title. Thanks. Jack | talk page 06:28, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
This is a closure I would never expect from your part. It must be a snowball closure but remember snow closure doesn't come under speed keep's criteria, read WP:SK#NOT. You must not mention "speedy keep" as a closing rationale when it doesn't meet any of the criteria mentioned here. Best, Jim Carter 05:02, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Phil. Thanks for yesterday. What do you mean "Lugnuts may be a pain in the ass on occasion but overall, IMHO he's a net benefit to the project"?! Only on occasion?! Maybe 428,000 edits and closing in on 24,000 new articles is perhaps some net benefit to the project. I'm lead to believe once I reach 1 million edits and 50,000 new articles I'm allowed to go on a 24hr power trip. Let me know how I redeem my golden ticket for that one.

Hello Philg88, I really don't want edit war with you but can you give me a reason why you moved Native ethnic groups of Africa to Ethnic groups of Africa?, I left a summary prior to moving the page explaining that the topic covers mainly the ethnic groups that are native to the African continent and should have a more specific and explanatory title. That is the reason why the page was moved to Native ethnic groups of Africa? I checked WP:RM and couldn't find any request for your recent move of the page.

Phil, I was wondering if you could help with some sources. I have a couple of scholarly sources at Flag of India which explicitly state that a blue banner was what was used officially during the raj (the sources were also checked during the FARC process), but crw I think has been saying that the red banner was used (my sources say that the red flag was mainly used at the League of Nations). Wondering if you could find some other source through BNA or other British sources, as this seems to be a constant sticky point on the article. cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 05:59, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
@ SpacemanSpiff: I interpret Virmani to mean that the blue banner was a personal award to the Viceroy, rather like a coat of arms. It was not a national flag. The timing fits with the upgrade of Governor-General to Viceroy and Governor-General under the Government of India Act 1858 and with the plethora of blue banners used by the Empire ( see here). This is a nice bit of context. Now for the good bit; there is an excellent explanation for the red flag here. Cheers, Philg88 ♦ talk 15:06, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
I've noticed the mirroring problem as Wikipedia has got bigger. We of course have no chance to correct third party works that have used our (incorrect) info. I think that what we need to do is go back to the original (albeit primary) sources that document the flag's history, i.e. the British government and the associated acts of parliament. Philg88 ♦ talk 07:19, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
I had a talk page disscussion over article balouchistan Pakistan where my position was oposite from User Cyphoidbomb. All ended with a concensus. After that for another article Baluchistan I am here on DRN against User Cyphoidbomb /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Balochistan.23Recent_changes, but with out being relevant to another article's (Khyber Paktunkhwa) dispute (between me and User Jasimkhanum 10 on maintaning pre dispute version of article), Cyphoidbomb started persanol revenge game. 1. He misrepresented me on ANI read https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FEdit_warring&type=revision&diff=675320060&oldid=675310006 2. He deleted pre dispute version of Khyber Pakhtunkha and took Jasimkhanum 10 side and voilated WP principle that in case of dispute a pre dispute version will be maintaned.

Hi Philg88, thanks a lot for the quick move of the Shop Direct page. I was wondering if I could ask a quick bit of advice. I'm a Shop Direct employee, though I'm a long way down the pecking order, no where near PR or anything like that. The Shop Direct articles are in a sorry state, and I see they've been edited a bit recently by what I can only assume is staff members, ignoring the problematic issues and focussing on "announcing" brands that are shutting down.
Anyway, my question is; I'm not here to fluff the Shop Direct articles, but I would like to see them better written. Is the declaration I put on my user page sufficient to meet the recent conflict of interest requirements? Thanks again for all your help Flying Buttress ( talk) 10:03, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Earlier I've created pages named List of cities in India by area and List of cities in Andhra Pradesh by area. I'm moving the content of AP cities areas by adding extra column on List of cities in Andhra Pradesh by population. So, what about List of cities in India by area? Also, if merged area and population can the name be List of cities in Andhra Pradesh by population or it can be renamed as List of cities in Andhra Pradesh. Your views?-- Vin09 ( talk) 10:27, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
No, he means just List of cities in Andhra Pradesh. The population and area form part of the article. Philg88 ♦ talk 11:46, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I have edited pages for pierogi and momo to remove the reference to gyoza, a Chinese dish that is referred to by that name in Japan, and have just been notified that those changes were reversed.

Hello Philg88 - I received a message from the frescobot about Tony de Peltrie. I don't see what the problem is. Is the english to poetic for the Bot?

While I agree with the results of your keep of the Thalys terrorist attack article, I disagree with the speedy close. A good quarter of people voted to delete.
Early closure risks railroading. It should be done with utmost caution, like a hypothetical proposal to delete the United States article. It is too easy to abuse early closure of any kind of discussion or vote. Why not cancel the U.S. Democratic Party nomination and have Hillary Clinton as the nominee as "speedy keep"?
Please reconsider. We will win the keep but to have done it fair and square. Do not ask me to apply for a re-opening because that is simply red tape forced on me. Sandra opposed to terrorism ( talk) 19:02, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Examine these two maps
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:East-Hem_900ad.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Asia_1025ad.jpg
Now examine these articles.
The first map is wrong, in that it portrays the Kingdom of Khotan as part of the Kara-Khanid state.
The second map is wrong, in that it portrays the Kara-khanids and the Uyghur Kingdo of Qocho as part of a single state.
So the first map needs to have the Kingdom of Khotan edited into it.
the second map, needs to have the Kingdom of Qocho edited into it. Basically transferring the "Xinjian (Uyghurs)" from the first map onto the second map, and labelling it as "Kingdom of Qocho (Ughurs)".
Also do you know where I can find a standard blank map of east eurasia (at least including Mongolia and central asia), without topography, that can be used for editing and uploading to wikimedia? Rajmaan ( talk) 03:01, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Hey there Rajmaan and thanks for the message. Unfortunately, these maps are jpgs, a format that all mapmakers hate because it's very difficult to edit. In these two cases the contour details overlaid with text make it nigh on impossible to change without the whole thing looking like a dog's breakfast. For a blank map you could use the example shown but you will need to remove the modern day boundaries. Cheers, Philg88 ♦ talk 04:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

@ SpacemanSpiff: Now that my BNA subscription has been renewed, I did some digging and added a paragraph to the history section of Flag of India. This effectively invalidates some of the unreferenced claims in the preceding paragraphs so I'm not sure it gets us any further forward. Thoughts? Best, Philg88 ♦ talk 12:33, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Phil, you'd blocked Prashant 015 earlier for some Jat POV stuff, he's now back again with this very odd edit. I'm refraining from taking any action here as I'm a regular editor of Delhi and had cleaned up after him on some population data. However, I've warned him of GS/Caste sanctions and Thomas.W has warned him of ARBIPA sanctions.

Explanation: REFERENCE page-43,
AP population - 49386799; Literates - 29772532; children (0-6 age) - 5222384;
So, literacy rate (%) = 29772532/(49386799-5222384)*100 = 67.41

I request your help to create an exclusive Wiki Portal for Kollam(Quilon). I had a look on some of the Portals from India, but the structure and it's creation is unknown for me. Help me to build one. Expecting your reply.

@ SpacemanSpiff: Now that my BNA subscription has been renewed, I did some digging and added a paragraph to the history section of Flag of India. This effectively invalidates some of the unreferenced claims in the preceding paragraphs so I'm not sure it gets us any further forward. Thoughts? Best, Philg88 ♦ talk 12:33, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Hmm ... nothing immediate found on the Curzon red/blue issue but I'll keep an eye out. Best, Philg88 ♦ talk 19:12, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
Phil, you'd blocked Prashant 015 earlier for some Jat POV stuff, he's now back again with this very odd edit. I'm refraining from taking any action here as I'm a regular editor of Delhi and had cleaned up after him on some population data. However, I've warned him of GS/Caste sanctions and Thomas.W has warned him of ARBIPA sanctions. Alerting you so that you can do what you think is best. cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 09:41, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

W.carter Are you claiming Buddha was Swedish? We have enough trouble over his birthplace already.

Could you check User_talk:Vin09#2011_census.-- Vin09 ( talk) 17:17, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Explanation: REFERENCE page-43,
AP population - 49386799; Literates - 29772532; children (0-6 age) - 5222384;
So, literacy rate (%) = 29772532/(49386799-5222384)*100 = 67.41
SS. @ Philg88: I'm always here to learn and follow other editors. Definitely I follow both of your words. Thanks for taking your valuable time in explaining. Cheers.-- Vin09 ( talk) 06:36, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

This edit was not done by me, although the IP is the same, I have a dynamic IP address with my ISP so it changes from time to time. Message has been sent to the wrong person. 217.44.95.158 ( talk) 21:23, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Dear User:Philg88, I hope this message finds you doing well! I just wanted to bring your attention to the fact that although you successfully moved that article, the talk page still needs to be moved. I hope you can also move the talk page too. Have a great day! With regards, Anupam Talk 19:17, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Wow, just wow. I didn't realise such a thing existed. - Sitush ( talk) 09:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Phil, reg this move, I don't profess to know what the right title is, but the ngrams would be misleading because Valmiki is very well covered in scholarly literature, and is unrelated to this topic. cheers. — Spaceman Spiff 09:32, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
