Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dawa Dem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bhutanese. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 07:40, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:Arati Saha Google Doodle.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.google.com/doodles/arati-sahas-80th-birthday. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You're quite productive, writing the Dawa Dem article. I'm so lazy that I could barely finish one sentence and two citations in 5 months while you've already nominated it for DYK. Very grateful for your hard work. Keep it up. TryKid dubious – discuss 01:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC) |
Do you have digital or physical access to C. T. Dorji's book "100 Prominent People of Modern Bhutan"? I imagine it would be very useful in creation of many Bhutanese biographies. If yes, would it be possible to email portions of the book? Regards, TryKid dubious – discuss 11:53, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI,
In this edit at French language, you said you thought it was "odd" that France wasn't linked; but actually, that's per the style guide; see MOS:OVERLINK. It's not a big deal, and it's fine to leave it that way now, but I thought you might like to know about the " #What generally should not be linked" section of the Style guide on links.

You are more than welcome to discuss the issues outlined in the talk section of that article. Its easy to say I am violating a Wikipeida standard to prevent changes to an article that is grossly incorrect and biased. Zugzwangerone ( talk) 04:33, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
I have corrected the error and was in process of doing so as expediently as possible, --the error was in place no more than five minutes! The article's problems are listed in talk.
NPOV dispute [Elements sourced but misquoting the works by Thomas K. Gugler and reliance on Primary Sources]
Thomas K Gugler, an anthropologist, presents Dawat-e-Islami from a NPOV. I have read and interpreted several of his primary research papers. Guglar research papers are cited arbitrarily throughout the entire article.
This Wikipedia article takes selections of Gugler's work out of context and it omits those sections which are of major importance in providing balance and objectivity to this subject.
Primary Sources
The article provides information on Dawat-e-Islami from Dawat-e-Islami and other outlets. Although this might be acceptable the information presented is without balance.
Gugler references are primary source research papers.
Sources Erroneously Quoted - Limited NPOV Sourcing Available in English, Quality of Supporting Articles.
Found incidents of articles which were quoted; when you check those articles they speak to different issues. In a search for acceptable sources, I found few-none A press release or press recognition about a Charity event may not meet the standard of a supporting article
The Section "Call to Righteousness"
May speak to the mission statement of Dawat-e-Islami but it does so from a perspective of passion. That section relies on a misquote of Gugler and should be incorporated in the first paragraph of this entry. Zugzwangerone (talk) 00:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Identifiable Sources
Book "Karachi: Ordered Disorder and the Struggle for the City - Chapter Jihad Comes to Town" Times of India https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/city-sufi-leaders-oppose-pakistan-based-body-meet-in-hyderabad/articleshow/67249546.cms Concerns regarding links to terrorism https://www.wionews.com/world/suspect-in-new-charlie-hebdo-attack-wanted-to-avenge-prophet-cartoons-330935 Article citing response regarding Charlie Hebdo https://www.rabwah.net/khatm-e-nabuwat-dawat-e-islami-linked-to-murder-of-ahmadiyya-muslim-asad-shah/ Glasgow Murder attributed to Dawat-e-Islami https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/pakistan-news/my-son-has-heart-of-a-lion-says-proud-father-of-pak-man-who-stabbed.html Indirect reference to Charlie Hebdo
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-security/paris-knife-attack-suspect-wanted-to-avenge-prophet-cartoons-video-idUSKBN26J1O5 Wearing a long tunic, the suspect said he was spiritually guided by Ilyas Qadri. Qadri is a Sunni cleric and the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, a non-violent organisation spread across the globe. Qadri says a person who commits blasphemy should be handed in to police, but if another individual were driven by their emotions to kill the blasphemer, the law should not apply.
Charlie Hebdo - NPOV lacking due to omission
So essentially the founder of Dawat-e-Islami is advocating that murder is justified should an apostate blaspheme his religion. This is a salient point both for this entry and the entry for Charlie Hebdo I was not aware of this until I started researching the topic looking for links.

Hi Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI! The thread you created at the
Wikipedia:Teahouse,
|
Hi,
I just wanted to give a heads up that I may have inadvertently reverted some of your editorial changes on the Climate change and Indigenous peoples, particularly as it relates to the capitalization of "Indigenous". In my experience, "Indigenous" tends to be capitalized as a proper noun (see, for example, recommendations in Elements of Indigenous Style). I was planning on doing some more edits on the page (mainly grammatical/stylistic), but will hold off on adjusting the capitalization if you're committed to lowercase.

Hello i just got this message in my Notifs:
Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Elements of art. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically, changing American spellings to British, and vice versa, where such a change is not required according to the Manual, is strictly disallowed.
1. I did not deliberately edit this page in a 'unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand' way. Color is unusual as Colour is the correct spelling of this word. How is this this strictly disallowed when all i was trying to do was fix a spelling mistake on this page! Who gets to say the 'American English' is more right then the way it should be spelt?!? ChuckyDooDaa ( talk) 04:39, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Thanks, sorry if that came out rude i was just kinda annoyed. I did some googling and a fair few pages say that America is the only country to primarily spell it 'color', and the rest of the English speaking world 'Colour'. Shouldnt this mean the majority of the spelling should be shown on Wikipedia, which is used all across the world, so it suits more people then just Americans? Thanks. ChuckyDooDaa ( talk) 23:34, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
@ User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Thanks that makes sense i guess, i hope in the future i will be able to help Wikipedia in more productive ways. Regards, ChuckyDooDaa — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckyDooDaa ( talk • contribs) 04:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
@ User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Another idea, Im guessing your not the head of Wikipedia, but i was thinking they should have seperate languages like: English(American) English(British) in the possible languages? Its hard to explain i hope you get what i mean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckyDooDaa ( talk • contribs) 22:13, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI, since the original reviewer has not posted to this review since they opened the page, it's time to consider it abandoned. (I've said as much on the review page.) I notice that you did a review in their absence.

Welcome, subscribers, to the inaugural Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:

Hello, wonderful people, and welcome to the very first Discontent Content! I'm glad you're here, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do. In future issues, I hope to use this section to brag about the achievements of subscribers -- so why not go do something worth bragging about? Article improvement initiatives have a long and storied history on this project, and I'm honoured to add myself to the list of people trying to find one that works. My perhaps quixotic goal here is to unify a few different issues -- the maintenance of old quality-assessed articles (GAs in particular) and the sheer length of the long left tail -- in one fell swoop. I'd be happy if this ended in something like another GA sweep; I'd be happier if it ended in another GA sweep where those GAs got kept. I'd be even happier than that if this resulted in the improvement of our worst articles, not just our best. I believe in the project, and I believe in what we can be. Most of all, I believe in you. Let's get out there and make this thing better. |

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Welcome, subscribers, to the third Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
This issue's subscriber suggestion, again from BOZ, is:
This is ridiculously late, and I apologise -- I've been writing articles :) I've also, excitingly, landed a couple 'real publishing' writing gigs, which I'll be plenty excited to talk about when they're published. Due to the current increased amount of writing I have to do on a regular basis both on- and off-wiki, I'm planning to drop this down to monthly so I can spread out my responsibilities a bit. |

After I edited this article, adding: "In many other languages, regarding cognates of the word, such as gitano, cigano and gitan, this perception is either very small or nonexistent." You reverted saying: "'this perception is either very small or nonexistent' - claim not corroborated by sources, one of which is a dictionary (!)"
My first objection to this is: Why is it a problem to use dictionary as a source? This page uses Merriam-Webster as its source number 4. I'm not sure why you don't think the other sources corroborate the claim. They don't explicitly restate what I said, but the manner in which the word is extensively used in those texts should imply its connotation. Similarly, I could argue that the word "negro" has very different connotations in English, Spanish and Portuguese by showing how the word is used in different texts. Not only the sources I cited but also the foreign Wikipedia pages I linked do exactly that. I'd also like to ask you whether or not you agree with the claim I made. I understand that, as far as I know, you might not speak Spanish, Portuguese or French, so perhaps you don't know from practice the connotations of these words.
Hi. This revert shows you did not check whether I was correct. That template is also used under the hidden nav boxes. 2A02:C7C:1018:6E00:4C92:78B1:B463:8E6D ( talk) 10:40, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dawa Dem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bhutanese. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

A tag has been placed on File:Arati Saha Google Doodle.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.google.com/doodles/arati-sahas-80th-birthday. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

NPOV dispute [Elements sourced but misquoting the works by Thomas K. Gugler and reliance on Primary Sources]
Thomas K Gugler, an anthropologist, presents Dawat-e-Islami from a NPOV. I have read and interpreted several of his primary research papers. Guglar research papers are cited arbitrarily throughout the entire article.
This Wikipedia article takes selections of Gugler's work out of context and it omits those sections which are of major importance in providing balance and objectivity to this subject.
Primary Sources
The article provides information on Dawat-e-Islami from Dawat-e-Islami and other outlets. Although this might be acceptable the information presented is without balance.
Gugler references are primary source research papers.
Sources Erroneously Quoted - Limited NPOV Sourcing Available in English, Quality of Supporting Articles.
Found incidents of articles which were quoted; when you check those articles they speak to different issues. In a search for acceptable sources, I found few-none A press release or press recognition about a Charity event may not meet the standard of a supporting article
The Section "Call to Righteousness"
May speak to the mission statement of Dawat-e-Islami but it does so from a perspective of passion. That section relies on a misquote of Gugler and should be incorporated in the first paragraph of this entry. Zugzwangerone (talk) 00:49, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-security/paris-knife-attack-suspect-wanted-to-avenge-prophet-cartoons-video-idUSKBN26J1O5 Wearing a long tunic, the suspect said he was spiritually guided by Ilyas Qadri. Qadri is a Sunni cleric and the founder of Dawat-e-Islami, a non-violent organisation spread across the globe. Qadri says a person who commits blasphemy should be handed in to police, but if another individual were driven by their emotions to kill the blasphemer, the law should not apply.
Charlie Hebdo - NPOV lacking due to omission
So essentially the founder of Dawat-e-Islami is advocating that murder is justified should an apostate blaspheme his religion. This is a salient point both for this entry and the entry for Charlie Hebdo I was not aware of this until I started researching the topic looking for links.

Hi,
I just wanted to give a heads up that I may have inadvertently reverted some of your editorial changes on the Climate change and Indigenous peoples, particularly as it relates to the capitalization of "Indigenous". In my experience, "Indigenous" tends to be capitalized as a proper noun (see, for example, recommendations in Elements of Indigenous Style). I was planning on doing some more edits on the page (mainly grammatical/stylistic), but will hold off on adjusting the capitalization if you're committed to lowercase.

Hello i just got this message in my Notifs:
Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Elements of art. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically, changing American spellings to British, and vice versa, where such a change is not required according to the Manual, is strictly disallowed.
1. I did not deliberately edit this page in a 'unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand' way. Color is unusual as Colour is the correct spelling of this word. How is this this strictly disallowed when all i was trying to do was fix a spelling mistake on this page! Who gets to say the 'American English' is more right then the way it should be spelt?!? ChuckyDooDaa ( talk) 04:39, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Thanks, sorry if that came out rude i was just kinda annoyed. I did some googling and a fair few pages say that America is the only country to primarily spell it 'color', and the rest of the English speaking world 'Colour'. Shouldnt this mean the majority of the spelling should be shown on Wikipedia, which is used all across the world, so it suits more people then just Americans? Thanks.

Welcome, subscribers, to the inaugural Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
Hello, wonderful people, and welcome to the very first Discontent Content! I'm glad you're here, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do. In future issues, I hope to use this section to brag about the achievements of subscribers -- so why not go do something worth bragging about? Article improvement initiatives have a long and storied history on this project, and I'm honoured to add myself to the list of people trying to find one that works. My perhaps quixotic goal here is to unify a few different issues -- the maintenance of old quality-assessed articles (GAs in particular) and the sheer length of the long left tail -- in one fell swoop. I'd be happy if this ended in something like another GA sweep; I'd be happier if it ended in another GA sweep where those GAs got kept. I'd be even happier than that if this resulted in the improvement of our worst articles, not just our best. I believe in the project, and I believe in what we can be. Most of all, I believe in you. Let's get out there and make this thing better. |

The second round of the 2021 WikiCup has now finished; it was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 61 points to advance to Round 3. There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in Round 2 were:
Please remember that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of Round 2 but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in Round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (except for at the end of each round, when you must claim them before the cut-off date/time). When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi, I edited the Vasad page. I didn't remove any content; I reorganized it. Some facts that were in "history" belong in "geography" for example.

This issue's subscriber suggestion, again from BOZ, is:
This is ridiculously late, and I apologise -- I've been writing articles :) I've also, excitingly, landed a couple 'real publishing' writing gigs, which I'll be plenty excited to talk about when they're published. Due to the current increased amount of writing I have to do on a regular basis both on- and off-wiki, I'm planning to drop this down to monthly so I can spread out my responsibilities a bit. |

After I edited this article, adding: "In many other languages, regarding cognates of the word, such as gitano, cigano and gitan, this perception is either very small or nonexistent." You reverted saying: "'this perception is either very small or nonexistent' - claim not corroborated by sources, one of which is a dictionary (!)"
My first objection to this is: Why is it a problem to use dictionary as a source? This page uses Merriam-Webster as its source number 4. I'm not sure why you don't think the other sources corroborate the claim. They don't explicitly restate what I said, but the manner in which the word is extensively used in those texts should imply its connotation. Similarly, I could argue that the word "negro" has very different connotations in English, Spanish and Portuguese by showing how the word is used in different texts. Not only the sources I cited but also the foreign Wikipedia pages I linked do exactly that. I'd also like to ask you whether or not you agree with the claim I made. I understand that, as far as I know, you might not speak Spanish, Portuguese or French, so perhaps you don't know from practice the connotations of these words.
Hi. This revert shows you did not check whether I was correct. That template is also used under the hidden nav boxes. 2A02:C7C:1018:6E00:4C92:78B1:B463:8E6D ( talk) 10:40, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
