Hi. You've declined my third opinion request here because of the lack of discussion, and I accept your reasoning--but that's exactly the issue here: the other editor seems content with reverting my edits without engaging in a discussion with me. I do not want to continue the edit war, but nor do I want to concede my points until I am persuaded otherwise. What would you recommend I do in this situation? -- Koveras ☭ 13:33, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
There are no reason to remove a WP:RS link for Kalnirnay, a reliable reference for Hindu calendar dates. I request you to revert your edits. Also, please remove the note on User_talk:Khushishah15. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 17:54, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
The etymology which was added by me in /info/en/?search=Kerala was undone by various authors. I could not find proper reasons for undoing that. Hence, I had to revert those changes again. Thanks for informing that wikipedia has a terminology called edit-war. I was not aware of that, and I was not intentionally making a edit war or so. The edits I have made are genuine and there is very well a proof for that in the Kerala site ( http://www.stateofkerala.in/kerala_facts/kerala_etymology.php). To add more, this same fact is mentioned in tamil and malayalam version of the same page itself.
I am not sure what is the right process to make the changes for this situation. Any guidelines or help would be appreciated.

Hi there. As you're aware, I nominated the BJP page at GAN, and as we expected, nothing's happened in four months or more. I understand that you personally may feel too involved to do the review yourself; I was wondering, though, whether you could give it an informal look over, both for old issues and for new things that may have come up. I keep looking at it, but I'm a little too close to the subject matter, having produced most of the prose myself. If you're too busy at the moment, then no worries.

Hey thanks! I replied on my tallk page. I'd also like to add- one of my bold edits was regarding Bollywood- I was just Adding one of the few pictures that can tell that a some people in India are rich/lighter in complexion and or India is not totally underdeveloped, and has a little glitter and glamour. So I'd ask you to let me keep it! :) Also, I have edited easier pages that's why I'm allowed to edit a protected page!

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's appearance, the coming Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. Upcoming plans are posted at the VisualEditor roadmap.
The Wikimedia Foundation has named its top priorities for this quarter (January to March). The first priority is making VisualEditor ready for deployment by default to all new users and logged-out users at the remaining large Wikipedias. You can help identify these requirements. There will be weekly triage meetings which will be open to volunteers beginning Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00 UTC). Tell Vice President of Engineering Damon Sicore, Product Manager James Forrester and other team members which bugs and features are most important to you. The decisions made at these meetings will determine what work is necessary for this quarter's goal of making VisualEditor ready for deployment to new users. The presence of volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code is particularly appreciated. Information about how to join the meeting will be posted at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal shortly before the meeting begins.
Due to some breaking changes in MobileFrontend and VisualEditor, VisualEditor was not working correctly on the mobile site for a couple of days in early January. The teams apologize for the problem.
The new design for VisualEditor aligns with MediaWiki's Front-End Standards as led by the Design team. Several new versions of the OOjs UI library have also been released, and these also affect the appearance of VisualEditor and other MediaWiki software extensions. Most changes were minor, like changing the text size and the amount of white space in some windows. Buttons are consistently color-coded to indicate whether the action:
The TemplateData editor has been completely re-written to use a different design ( T67815) based on the same OOjs UI system as VisualEditor ( T73746). This change fixed a couple of existing bugs ( T73077 and T73078) and improved usability.
Search and replace in long documents is now faster. It does not highlight every occurrence if there are more than 100 on-screen at once ( T78234).
Editors at the Hebrew and Russian Wikipedias requested the ability to use VisualEditor in the "Article Incubator" or drafts namespace ( T86688, T87027). If your community would like VisualEditor enabled on another namespace on your wiki, then you can file a request in Phabricator. Please include a link to a community discussion about the requested change.
The Editing team will soon add auto-fill features for citations. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to contribute to the Citoid service's definitions for each website, to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections.
We will need editors to help test the new design of the special character inserter, especially if you speak Welsh, Breton, or another language that uses diacritics or special characters extensively. The new version should be available for testing next week. Please contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF) if you would like to be notified when the new version is available. After the special character tool is completed, VisualEditor will be deployed to all users at Phase 5 Wikipedias. This will affect about 50 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh. The date for this change has not been determined.

Hello once again Ugog Nizdast! Someone has randomly and even wrongly (he is abusing information in order to try using it against my favor) reported me here [1]. I know this has nothing to do with you and watching over articles, but words can't really describe how I would appreciate your help. Although I am not really that active, I don't feel I deserve to be banned just because someone is most of his report (if not all) using information the wrong way in order to use it against my favor. Of course, it is understandable if you don't have the time or will. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 11:20, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.
The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.
VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead ( T90734).
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon.

Hello, I disagree with your edit on the Cigar page. I suggest that the recently-established international Cigar Smoker of the Year Award goes to show the increasing popularity of cigar smoking and so should be left in as a sub-section. It shows its relevance in "popular culture" today. Manxwoman ( talk) 20:12, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
I saw you removed yourself from the Signpost list because you got a double delivery. Just wanted to let you know I did too, and looking at a few other pages of those signed up, they did too. Must be a glitch with the bot. Cheers, Discant X 11:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the invitation. I'll certainly sign-up. Cesdeva ( talk) 18:47, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Hiya,
Just wanted to express my thanks for helping to defuse the roadblock over on Sheilla Jeffreys. Your consideration is much appreciated. Chocolate vittles ( talk) 10:27, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello Dear! First of all thanks for a beautiful Barnstar! You made me rich. I see that you have give an assessment rating to Lalji Singh and Sunil Kumar Verma. Could you please let me also know what criteria you use for the assessment? Is it final or can it be re assessed? I think both of the bio are at least not "Low" importance. Please re-consider. Thanks. Educationtemple ( talk) 15:44, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi. I Joined Wikiproject India. Hope I make more good friends there in coming times. Educationtemple ( talk) 13:12, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
i request you, not to vandalize, or clean the paragraph i improved giving links to it, in freedom of Religion in India. (encyclopedia) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.138.59.49 ( talk) 09:15, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello once again Ugog Nizdast! Someone has randomly and even wrongly (he is abusing information in order to try using it against my favor) reported me here [1]. I know this has nothing to do with you and watching over articles, but words can't really describe how I would appreciate your help. Although I am not really that active, I don't feel I deserve to be banned just because someone is most of his report (if not all) using information the wrong way in order to use it against my favor. Of course, it is understandable if you don't have the time or will. -- HistoryofIran ( talk) 11:20, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and worked on VisualEditor's performance, the Citoid reference service, and support for languages with complex input requirements. Status reports are posted on Mediawiki.org. The worklist for April through June is available in Phabricator.
The weekly task triage meetings continue to be open to volunteers, each Wednesday at 11:00 (noon) PDT (18:00 UTC). You do not need to attend the meeting to nominate a bug for consideration as a Q4 blocker. Instead, go to Phabricator and "associate" the Editing team's Q4 blocker project with the bug. Learn how to join the meetings and how to nominate bugs at mw:Talk:VisualEditor/Portal.
VisualEditor is now substantially faster. In many cases, opening the page in VisualEditor is now faster than opening it in the wikitext editor. The new system has improved the code speed by 37% and network speed by almost 40%.
The Editing team is slowly adding auto-fill features for citations. This is currently available only at the French, Italian, and English Wikipedias. The Citoid service takes a URL or DOI for a reliable source, and returns a pre-filled, pre-formatted bibliographic citation. After creating it, you will be able to change or add information to the citation, in the same way that you edit any other pre-existing citation in VisualEditor. Support for ISBNs, PMIDs, and other identifiers is planned. Later, editors will be able to improve precision and reduce the need for manual corrections by contributing to the Citoid service's definitions for each website.
Citoid requires good TemplateData for your citation templates. If you would like to request this feature for your wiki, please post a request in the Citoid project on Phabricator. Include links to the TemplateData for the most important citation templates on your wiki.
The special character inserter has been improved, based upon feedback from active users. After this, VisualEditor was made available to all users of Wikipedias on the Phase 5 list on 30 March. This affected 53 mid-size and smaller Wikipedias, including Afrikaans, Azerbaijani, Breton, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Mongolian, Tatar, and Welsh.
Work continues to support languages with complex requirements, such as Korean and Japanese. These languages use input method editors ("IMEs”). Recent improvements to cursoring, backspace, and delete behavior will simplify typing in VisualEditor for these users.
The design for the image selection process is now using a "masonry fit" model. Images in the search results are displayed at the same height but at variable widths, similar to bricks of different sizes in a masonry wall, or the "packed" mode in image galleries. This style helps you find the right image by making it easier to see more details in images.
You can now drag and drop categories to re-arrange their order of appearance on the page.
The pop-up window that appears when you click on a reference, image, link, or other element, is called the "context menu". It now displays additional useful information, such as the destination of the link or the image's filename. The team has also added an explicit "Edit" button in the context menu, which helps new editors open the tool to change the item.
Invisible templates are marked by a puzzle piece icon so they can be interacted with. Users also will be able to see and edit HTML anchors now in section headings.
Users of the TemplateData GUI editor can now set a string as an optional text for the 'deprecated' property in addition to boolean value, which lets you tell users of the template what they should do instead ( T90734).
The special character inserter in VisualEditor will soon use the same special character list as the wikitext editor. Admins at each wiki will also have the option of creating a custom section for frequently used characters at the top of the list. Instructions for customizing the list will be posted at mediawiki.org.
The team is discussing a test of VisualEditor with new users, to see whether they have met their goals of making VisualEditor suitable for those editors. The timing is unknown, but might be relatively soon.
