Before reverting changes made you need to check the accuracy of the changes made. Changes are made for a reason. Simply reverting changes without making any attempt to check the accuracy of changes made is not only pointless but entirely contrary to the whole purpose of editing. The changes made to Doughty Street were accurate. Minthammer ( talk) 12:13, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello excuse me.... If you don't know the DOB you need not to place the DOB in the infobox or provide a proper source there.. why you providing the DOB without source..just remove it...can you explain the logic??? Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Simran (actress), you may be blocked from editing. - Making your edits highlighted doesn't mean my edits being blocked??? I haven't done such a a kind of mistake...you are making a start of vandalism by providing the previous edits undone and making points (DOB) there without unclear or proper sources there..
you may be blocked from editing. - Jyomon ( talk) 11:12, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your message! However, I disagree with you. I can understand that my statement on India being the world's largest country by population differs from the cited reference (which is out-of-date, in my opinion). Thus, I am happy to find a new reputable and updated sources so that the cited reference agrees with the statement. Here are some that I found that are recent and easy to find on the internet (rather than having to go through webarchive)
2: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/04/1135967
4: https://www.unfpa.org/data/world-population-dashboard Please feel free to provide a constructive explanation on why we can't provide a more updated/alternative cited reference.
World population counters rely on projections by the UN, as it takes many years for official censuses to be published. I know that is unfortunate in that it is hard to "predict what actually happened", but the majority of the world has accepted that we will have to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing "what actually happened". This is why major news organizations have accepted the projection of India being the largest country by April 2023 as reality. Wikipedia thus must be in-line with other online sources and common knowledge interpretations on worldwide populations.
Searching up 'India Population' on Bing or Google leads to the statement "India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the most populous country in the world, and the most populous democracy." and "India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the most populous country in the world, and the most populous democracy".

It's already prominent on other Wikipedia articles too, which makes this article inconsistent with other articles on Wikipedia
My point is that there are newer sources by the UN that don't simply say that "India is projected to be larger than China 2023", they now say "India became larger than China in April 2023". Thus, I suggest we change the source. Thebrowntruth ( talk) 12:43, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Arjayay, thanks for the message regarding the update of my listed Wiki page. Whilst I can vouch for the validity of all facts added yesterday I of course understand the necessity for references to add the requisite authority. Could you you therefore point me in the direction of the specific references required for my updated edit or is it merely a case that every job/role listing and fact included requires a reference added in the reference list and a corresponding intent reference? This would mean a lot of references as you can see and so I wasn't sure what was necessary and what not.
I appreciate your guidance, patience and support in this.
Thank you.

You told me that my correction of the mistaken translation of Palo verde as green stick was considered to be vandalism. As a graduate horticulturist, ISA Certified Arborist, and long-time Spanish speaker, I'm familiar with the way that native speakers use the word palo, it is clear that the word translates as tree and not stick. The city, Palo Alto, derives its name from the tall coast redwood trees that grow there, not because of a tall stick, but because of the tall trees. If you ask ¿Cual es el nombre de este palo?, you don't mean What is the name of this stick? You are asking What is the name of this tree? If you said Hay muchos palos en este solar, it would be ridiculous to translate that as There are a lot of sticks on this parcel, when it's obvious there are a lot of trees there. My correcting the incorrect translation is not vandalism at all. But when Wikipedia mis-informs the public that palo translates as stick--that is vandalism of the Spanish language. pechaney ( talk) 21:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

This certainly clarifies an interesting point.
I very much appreciate your long experience and wisdom in Wikipedia editing and policy. Wikipedia is turning out to be truly a global civilizational tool for advancing knowledge. Individuals such as you are making this all possible with your long dedication and attention.
The particular situation with this page is very puzzling to me.
I noticed the original page of particular individual /info/en/?search=Margaret_Chew_Barringer was a normal page for a good number of years, and then suddenly, it became redirected to an organization she founded. Clearly the person and the organization are not the same entity.
The circular referencing makes it impossible for anyone to edit the page. I resurrected the original page, created by other editors many years before I was aware of that page. The Draft I created was /info/en/?search=Draft:Margaret_Chew_Barringer, and then made public by moving it to Wikipedia Main. Space.
So, I need your help and wisdom in making the Original page visible, as otherwise no one else can contribute to improving that page.
Perhaps with you skills and seniority, you can turn /info/en/?search=Draft:Margaret_Chew_Barringer into a stub page, that then allows and encourages other individuals to contribute to that page.
Regarding the individual, she's a direct descendent of Benjamin Chew, chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Province of Pennsylvania and later the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Clearly a pivotal person in both English and American history during the transition of USA from a colony to an independent country. Their family ancestral home Cliveden (Benjamin Chew House) was turned over by her family to the the National Trust for Historical Preservation and her mother Anne Sophia Penn Chew Barringer, donated all the Chew Family papers to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (over 800 boxes of material see [1].
Being that the Chew family and their descendants follow the Quaker practices, they do not call out attention to themselves, and hence, are not as 'visible' as other individuals.
I believe it is important to figure out a way of allowing many others to be allowed the opportunity to edit the the Margaret_Chew_Barringer page directly. Hopefully with your expertise and wisdom you can suggest, or better yet, create a path for doing so.
Again, thank you for your amazing number of edits and contributions to making Wikipedia an incredible resource. Emoritz2017 ( talk) 21:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi - just came across the redirect Characters of the The King of Fighters series (double 'the'), which I notice you created as a result of a pagemove to delete one of the two instances of the word 'the'. However, it seems that the series itself is titled The King of Fighters, not simply King of Fighters - as far as I can tell, when talking about the series, you would reference "the The King of Fighters series" (regardless of how strange it looks), not simply "The King of Fighters series" (unless I have misunderstood somewhere, which is entirely possible). If I am correct, it would seem the pagemove should be reverted and a redirect left behind so that using only one 'the' still goes to the correct page. If I have misinterpreted or am incorrect in my understanding of the relevant grammar please do let me know. Tollens ( talk) 03:07, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello there! I see you've been quite active in some things related to the above mentioned pages. I'm pinging you @ Arjayay: directly to ask for some help. I've started 3 initiatives for these pages. If you could spare some time in the near future, could you please take a look at the proposal and voice your opinion? Of course, if you have interest, time, and energy to participate that would be amazing!
Here are the projects:
1. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal for an overhaul of the article — this initiative is already in progress. The idea is to raise the quality of the page by switching it from a mere historical account to a more encyclopedic format.
2. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal to split the History into a dedicated page — related to the one above. The historical account is overly detailed. It would be much better to have a dedicated page for the history of philosophical pessimism and leave only a brief history in the main page.
3. Talk:Antinatalism#A proposal to create a dedicated page for Benatar's axiological asymmetry — here, the idea is to extract the axiological asymmetry argument into a dedicated page. This way, a more detailed presentation could be given. In addition, we could expand on the various responses others philosophers made and counters from Benatar. Other pages could have a brief description and link to the details page.
I hope at least some of this will spark your interest!

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Todd Newton and I am writing to you regarding some recent updates to my page that were made by my employee Facts2021 and authorized by me.

FYI. While I recognise it was one in a series of rushed edits to counter this nonsense, in this edit you inadvertently restored some potentially invalid material (connecting the subject to County Kerry), removed a reference I'd added (more correctly associating the subject with County Louth) and restored much of the bizarre grammar (that I'd attempted to address in intervening edits). While I'd already removed some of the related nonsense from that article, I may have overlooked the "people of" category, which is likely why that article fell back onto your "radar". But perhaps take a quick minute to check that anti-VN reverts don't inadvertently include other (non-VN) changes. (I could very easily not have added that article to my watchlist...)

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I am not very familiar with noticeboards and I noticed that you left a warning on the talk page of the editor Jutos222 in the past.

Hi Arjayay thank you for your contribution sometimes back in Luo peoples article. We have a user ending in 1618 who if you check his talk page, gets into so much edit wars almost in every page. He has reverted what you once restored and has asserted that "Nilotic" is ethnic and "Nilo-Shemitic is not ethnic." This user does not read the background of wikipedia articles nor checks references already cited. Please google http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/35/013.html Scores of articles there. In summary researchers placed groups as Nilotic when we mean geographical e.g. people who settled along river Nile. However, Nilo-Hamitic those are ethnic groups of people such as Koramojong, Teso, Lango,Kumam, Turkana etc. Then Nilo-Shemitic are ethnic grouping of Lwo peoples e.g. Acoli, Alur, Jo Padola, Lwo/Luo of Sudan, Lwo/Luo of Kenya, Tanzania, Congo etc and some other groups that I am yet to study; but this Nilo-Shemitic grouping does not include Langi, Kumam or Ateker peoples who although currently use borrowed Lwo/Luo words and speak a mixture of their Ateker languages and Lwo/Luo, they are not Lwo and their languages cannot be classed as Lwo/Luo either. This is what most editors have mentioned and are trying to correct what was wrongly placed in Ethnolgue. The editors noticed that there has been erros in placing the Langi and Kumam groups under Luo/Lwo, they are not Lwo/Luo nor is their language classification.
This gentle man ~1618 is not happy with the above, and has caused so much disruptions in Lango articles, Kumam, Ateker peoples right now. There are already many citations quoted in those articles, which does not support the man's arguments nor his new eddits. e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20201210010927id_/https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/29330/1/10731425.pdf from page 50 onwards show that Lango, Kumam, Teso etc are grouped under Paranilotes, Plain Nilotes aka Nilo-Hamites, the anthropologists noticed that Lango and Kumam had language shift in the 18th centuary and borrowed Lwo/Luo words as well as cultures but that Kumam or Lango clans are not Lwo/Luo clans up todate. They are grouped as Nilo-Hamites of Ateker peoples

Hi Arjayay, thanks for the message regarding the update of my listed Wiki page. Whilst I can vouch for the validity of all facts added yesterday I of course understand the necessity for references to add the requisite authority. Could you you therefore point me in the direction of the specific references required for my updated edit or is it merely a case that every job/role listing and fact included requires a reference added in the reference list and a corresponding intent reference? This would mean a lot of references as you can see and so I wasn't sure what was necessary and what not.
I appreciate your guidance, patience and support in this.
Thank you.

You told me that my correction of the mistaken translation of Palo verde as green stick was considered to be vandalism. As a graduate horticulturist, ISA Certified Arborist, and long-time Spanish speaker, I'm familiar with the way that native speakers use the word palo, it is clear that the word translates as tree and not stick. The city, Palo Alto, derives its name from the tall coast redwood trees that grow there, not because of a tall stick, but because of the tall trees. If you ask ¿Cual es el nombre de este palo?, you don't mean What is the name of this stick? You are asking What is the name of this tree? If you said Hay muchos palos en este solar, it would be ridiculous to translate that as There are a lot of sticks on this parcel, when it's obvious there are a lot of trees there. My correcting the incorrect translation is not vandalism at all. But when Wikipedia mis-informs the public that palo translates as stick--that is vandalism of the Spanish language. pechaney ( talk) 21:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

This certainly clarifies an interesting point.
I very much appreciate your long experience and wisdom in Wikipedia editing and policy. Wikipedia is turning out to be truly a global civilizational tool for advancing knowledge. Individuals such as you are making this all possible with your long dedication and attention.
The particular situation with this page is very puzzling to me.
I noticed the original page of particular individual /info/en/?search=Margaret_Chew_Barringer was a normal page for a good number of years, and then suddenly, it became redirected to an organization she founded. Clearly the person and the organization are not the same entity.
The circular referencing makes it impossible for anyone to edit the page. I resurrected the original page, created by other editors many years before I was aware of that page. The Draft I created was /info/en/?search=Draft:Margaret_Chew_Barringer, and then made public by moving it to Wikipedia Main. Space.
So, I need your help and wisdom in making the Original page visible, as otherwise no one else can contribute to improving that page.
Perhaps with you skills and seniority, you can turn /info/en/?search=Draft:Margaret_Chew_Barringer into a stub page, that then allows and encourages other individuals to contribute to that page.
Regarding the individual, she's a direct descendent of Benjamin Chew, chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Province of Pennsylvania and later the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Clearly a pivotal person in both English and American history during the transition of USA from a colony to an independent country. Their family ancestral home Cliveden (Benjamin Chew House) was turned over by her family to the the National Trust for Historical Preservation and her mother Anne Sophia Penn Chew Barringer, donated all the Chew Family papers to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (over 800 boxes of material see [1].
Being that the Chew family and their descendants follow the Quaker practices, they do not call out attention to themselves, and hence, are not as 'visible' as other individuals.
I believe it is important to figure out a way of allowing many others to be allowed the opportunity to edit the the Margaret_Chew_Barringer page directly. Hopefully with your expertise and wisdom you can suggest, or better yet, create a path for doing so.
Again, thank you for your amazing number of edits and contributions to making Wikipedia an incredible resource. Emoritz2017 ( talk) 21:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi - just came across the redirect Characters of the The King of Fighters series (double 'the'), which I notice you created as a result of a pagemove to delete one of the two instances of the word 'the'. However, it seems that the series itself is titled The King of Fighters, not simply King of Fighters - as far as I can tell, when talking about the series, you would reference "the The King of Fighters series" (regardless of how strange it looks), not simply "The King of Fighters series" (unless I have misunderstood somewhere, which is entirely possible). If I am correct, it would seem the pagemove should be reverted and a redirect left behind so that using only one 'the' still goes to the correct page. If I have misinterpreted or am incorrect in my understanding of the relevant grammar please do let me know. Tollens ( talk) 03:07, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello there! I see you've been quite active in some things related to the above mentioned pages. I'm pinging you @ Arjayay: directly to ask for some help. I've started 3 initiatives for these pages. If you could spare some time in the near future, could you please take a look at the proposal and voice your opinion? Of course, if you have interest, time, and energy to participate that would be amazing!
Here are the projects:
1. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal for an overhaul of the article — this initiative is already in progress. The idea is to raise the quality of the page by switching it from a mere historical account to a more encyclopedic format.
2. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal to split the History into a dedicated page — related to the one above. The historical account is overly detailed. It would be much better to have a dedicated page for the history of philosophical pessimism and leave only a brief history in the main page.
3. Talk:Antinatalism#A proposal to create a dedicated page for Benatar's axiological asymmetry — here, the idea is to extract the axiological asymmetry argument into a dedicated page. This way, a more detailed presentation could be given. In addition, we could expand on the various responses others philosophers made and counters from Benatar. Other pages could have a brief description and link to the details page.
I hope at least some of this will spark your interest!

Hello, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Todd Newton and I am writing to you regarding some recent updates to my page that were made by my employee Facts2021 and authorized by me. Recently, we noticed those, and previous, updates were reversed by you. I have great respect for your experience and skillset with Wikipedia and only wish my page to be as current and accurate as possible. Please forgive us if some of the formatting was done incorrectly, but as the page stands now everything is up to date and as I wish it to appear. It is very important that all titles, etc., are correct so I kindly request that no further changes be made so as not to cause confusion to those gathering data from my page. Also, please note that all photos are personally owned by me so occasionally I will instruct for them to be rearranged on the page.

FYI. While I recognise it was one in a series of rushed edits to counter this nonsense, in this edit you inadvertently restored some potentially invalid material (connecting the subject to County Kerry), removed a reference I'd added (more correctly associating the subject with County Louth) and restored much of the bizarre grammar (that I'd attempted to address in intervening edits). While I'd already removed some of the related nonsense from that article, I may have overlooked the "people of" category, which is likely why that article fell back onto your "radar". But perhaps take a quick minute to check that anti-VN reverts don't inadvertently include other (non-VN) changes. (I could very easily not have added that article to my watchlist...)

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I am not very familiar with noticeboards and I noticed that you left a warning on the talk page of the editor Jutos222 in the past. This user has recently been adding the words "talented" to the lede of many biographies about mostly Nigerian people, in apparent violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and I have been reverting them. Just an hour ago, they vandalized my user page twice. They have showed no interest in ceasing their vandalism in spite of multiple warnings in the past.

Hi, Arjayay. The reason for my edit on page Juhi Chawla was that, she won the Miss India contest in 1984. She was 18 years old at that time. There are several articles on the net that confirm this.

Hi Arjayay thank you for your contribution sometimes back in Luo peoples article. We have a user ending in 1618 who if you check his talk page, gets into so much edit wars almost in every page. He has reverted what you once restored and has asserted that "Nilotic" is ethnic and "Nilo-Shemitic is not ethnic." This user does not read the background of wikipedia articles nor checks references already cited. Please google http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/35/013.html Scores of articles there. In summary researchers placed groups as Nilotic when we mean geographical e.g. people who settled along river Nile. However, Nilo-Hamitic those are ethnic groups of people such as Koramojong, Teso, Lango,Kumam, Turkana etc. Then Nilo-Shemitic are ethnic grouping of Lwo peoples e.g. Acoli, Alur, Jo Padola, Lwo/Luo of Sudan, Lwo/Luo of Kenya, Tanzania, Congo etc and some other groups that I am yet to study; but this Nilo-Shemitic grouping does not include Langi, Kumam or Ateker peoples who although currently use borrowed Lwo/Luo words and speak a mixture of their Ateker languages and Lwo/Luo, they are not Lwo and their languages cannot be classed as Lwo/Luo either. This is what most editors have mentioned and are trying to correct what was wrongly placed in Ethnolgue. The editors noticed that there has been erros in placing the Langi and Kumam groups under Luo/Lwo, they are not Lwo/Luo nor is their language classification.
This gentle man ~1618 is not happy with the above, and has caused so much disruptions in Lango articles, Kumam, Ateker peoples right now. There are already many citations quoted in those articles, which does not support the man's arguments nor his new eddits. e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20201210010927id_/https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/29330/1/10731425.pdf from page 50 onwards show that Lango, Kumam, Teso etc are grouped under Paranilotes, Plain Nilotes aka Nilo-Hamites, the anthropologists noticed that Lango and Kumam had language shift in the 18th centuary and borrowed Lwo/Luo words as well as cultures but that Kumam or Lango clans are not Lwo/Luo clans up todate. They are grouped as Nilo-Hamites of Ateker peoples
