Women in Red

Hi there, Dr.Pinsky, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to hear you intend to help us with our coverage of women historians. Although you have been highly active as an editor, you have not yet created any biographies. You should therefore find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. As for historians, you'll find lots of names of interest in our Redlist index, including a Wikidata-based list of historians. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!-- Ipigott ( talk) 08:14, 8 March 2022 (UTC) reply

Random revert?

User:Dr.Pinsky Are you aware what you are doing?

I added the information supported by the sources and removed what isn't supported by the sources.

You are supporting an editor who just got a final warning [1] few hours ago for his disruptive editing and he just had his report rejected against me. [2]

I also resolved the tags that were added by this user and he thanked me on talk page for resolving them. [3]

P.S. this user is violating 3RR on other article too. [4]

I am sure that your revert was completely random, but you should just undo your own edit because it restored the bad version. 106.215.40.96 ( talk) 18:31, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I want to AGF, but, this really is a lot. Am I the only one starting to find the sudden appearance of this IP on this very specific article, with this kind of mentality, and so well versed in the WP processes (much more than me, obviously!) a little... fishy? EnlightenmentNow1792 ( talk) 18:38, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply
If you wanted to AGF then you wouldn't be dropping 2 baseless warning templates on my talk page. 106.215.40.96 ( talk) 18:40, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply
What's AGF? EnlightenmentNow1792 ( talk) 18:53, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply
@ 106.215.40.96 @ EnlightenmentNow1792, the impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable. All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk page to try to reach consensus, rather than undoing other’s edit. Thanks. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 19:06, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Rollback granted

Hi Dr.Pinsky. After reviewing your request, I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 2022-07-25. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Guerillero Parlez Moi 11:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC) reply

St. Gabriel's vandal

Hi Dr.Pinsky,

Just would like to let you know that the phrase "Knn cb" is a very offensive term I would prefer not to describe here (you may Google it). I have reported the user accordingly. For your knowledge, cheers. Seloloving ( talk) 08:39, 11 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Accuracy concerns are a good explanation for content removal

Hi Dr.Pinsky, the edit summary of Special:Diff/1094259442 appears to be incorrect, as the user had voiced an accuracy concern (which is implicitly a verifiability concern, as there likely won't be reliable sources for inaccurate statements), so the removal was not "unexplained". ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 20:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC) reply

@ ToBeFree: I had no idea that the removal was done in good faith. The IP most likely questioned the veracity of the material and removed what was not supported by the sources. And my revert undoubtedly restored a bad version. Thank you for letting me know. Best regards. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 11:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC) reply

I have a friend who was a consultant ENT surgeon; he started to feel a slight tremble in his hands in his late fifties, so retired from surgery and completed a PhD in the history of Edinburgh. He's both kinds of doctor too. Anyway, I stopped by to let you know that I've just blocked the person who left you that inappropriate warning template as the sock of a blocked user.

When I decided to finish my degree at the age of 47, I was already established in my clinical practice. I had the luxury of pursuing a degree in a subject I was interested , for the sheer pleasure of learning. It wasn't going to impact my professional life; it was merely a chance to complete something I had previously abandoned. Completing a PhD degree was purely for personal satisfaction!

Good day! I have stumbled upon a number of articles related to professors associated with Purdue University. I am unsure that they meet notability requirements (including for bios and for academics).

Soumyacreate

Create relates to the process of creating an article, while Soumya is a South Asian name. IMO, Soumyacreate is an undisclosed paid editor trying to promote their clients on Wikipedia. (cc: Deepfriedokra). Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 18:49, 22 September 2022 (UTC) reply

Standard notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Balkans or Eastern Europe. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{ Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Religion Sudanese Arabs

Can you stop adding the religion percentages for Sudanese Arabs. Sudanese Arabs are predominantly Sunni Muslims and make up 70% of Sudan's population. Christians and followers of traditional religions live predominantly in the Nuba mountains and also copts and others. These percentages represent the population of Sudan as a whole not the Sudanese Arabs. Please stop adding it because it's factually not true and I am a Sudanese Arab and I know this because I have met other Sudanese Arabs as well. 97% of Sunni Islam is for the general population as a whole which includes not only the 70% of Sudanese Arabs but also the 30% of other ethnicities. If your confused please refer to minorityrights.org/sudan or the wikipedia article on Sudan. Cookiemonster1618 ( talk) 19:12, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply

Your draft article, Draft:13 Rigtige

Hello, Dr.Pinsky. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " 13 Rigtige".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

Biswas Family Name

I would like to bring to your attention two major concerns regarding Ekdalian's recent edit – it seems to me there's a mixing of apples and oranges. The inclusion of Mahishya and Kayasthas with the Schedule Caste category appears inaccurate. The term "Schedule Caste" was instituted based on Independent India's constitution in 1947, whereas Mahishya and Kayasthas have historical roots dating back to at least the 12th century. The "Schedule Caste" encompasses many castes. To be factually correct, if you intend to refer to Schedule Caste, it would be more appropriate to mention General Caste and Other Backward Castes (Not Mahishya and Kayasthas etc) like the way the Government of India classifies castes of its citizens. It's also worth noting that there are individuals with the last name Biswas among Brahmins and Baidya community. These people fall under the General category.

My second objection concerns the ordering of the castes associated with Biswas family name. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate any caste-vs-last-name survey to justify the arrangement that Ekdalian introduced. However, you can check publicly available admission lists at Universities in West Bengal like Jadavpur University, Kolkata University, and Medical colleges to get a sense about the caste of the people with family name Biswas. These lists categories candidates in mainly four categories based on caste - General category, Schedule caste, Schedule Tribes and Other Backward Castes. These lists suggest that individuals with a General Caste affiliation make up a significant majority among students with the Biswas family name. According to these lists, approximately 60-70% of individuals with the last name Biswas belong to the General category. Note I understand these are not correct sampling techniques. I have a feeling the percentage of people with Biswas family name is more than the above mentioned percentages in the General category. Here is my hypothesis: As Biswas is an honorary title (bestowed by rulers), they are privileged (and should be fewer) to start with. Among Scheduled Castes and OBCs, they belong to the highly privileged category. That's why their representation is overwhelmingly larger at reputable universities among Scheduled Castes and OBCs. In the general category, they are not that privileged as most people in the general category are privileged. So people with Biswas family name are relatively fewer in numbers in the general category.

Now the question is, why are you starting with Schedule Caste to list various castes associated with Biswas family name? Either you arrange the list based on alphabetical order or percentages of each category.

I appreciate your attention to these concerns and would be open to further discussion to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the information presented.

I sent the note above to User:Ekdalian. He has not responded yet. SenBiswas ( talk) 19:10, 25 November 2023 (UTC) reply

Hi there, Dr.Pinsky, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to hear you intend to help us with our coverage of women historians. Although you have been highly active as an editor, you have not yet created any biographies. You should therefore find it useful to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. As for historians, you'll find lots of names of interest in our Redlist index, including a Wikidata-based list of historians. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance.

Random revert?

User:Dr.Pinsky Are you aware what you are doing?

I added the information supported by the sources and removed what isn't supported by the sources.

You are supporting an editor who just got a final warning [1] few hours ago for his disruptive editing and he just had his report rejected against me. [2]

I also resolved the tags that were added by this user and he thanked me on talk page for resolving them. [3]

P.S. this user is violating 3RR on other article too. [4]

I am sure that your revert was completely random, but you should just undo your own edit because it restored the bad version. 106.215.40.96 ( talk) 18:31, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I want to AGF, but, this really is a lot.

@ 106.215.40.96 @ EnlightenmentNow1792, the impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable. All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk page to try to reach consensus, rather than undoing other’s edit. Thanks. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 19:06, 9 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Rollback granted

Hi Dr.Pinsky. After reviewing your request, I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 2022-07-25. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Guerillero Parlez Moi 11:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Trying to add Further Reading section

Hello Dr. Pinsky,

I am part of a research class and we are trying to add further readings to The World, the Flesh, and the Devil.

Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiny Black Lion ( talkcontribs) 16:09, 10 June 2022 (UTC) reply

@ Tiny Black Lion: Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Accuracy concerns are a good explanation for content removal

Hi Dr.Pinsky, the edit summary of Special:Diff/1094259442 appears to be incorrect, as the user had voiced an accuracy concern (which is implicitly a verifiability concern, as there likely won't be reliable sources for inaccurate statements), so the removal was not "unexplained". ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 20:32, 21 June 2022 (UTC) reply

@ ToBeFree: I had no idea that the removal was done in good faith. The IP most likely questioned the veracity of the material and removed what was not supported by the sources. And my revert undoubtedly restored a bad version. Thank you for letting me know. Best regards. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 11:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC) reply

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Rollback granted

Hi Dr.Pinsky. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! TheSandDoctor Talk 19:08, 2 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Both types of doctor?!

I just looked at your user page...you're both types of doctor?! That's cool! (I, sadly, am not a doctor of sand...though I would gladly accept it ). What is your PhD in, if you don't mind my asking? TheSandDoctor Talk 03:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply

@ TheSandDoctor: Here's a hint. I was a history major before going to med school. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 16:20, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply
A PhD in history (one of my fav subjects) and then decided you hadn't done enough schooling so went back for more (med school!!)? Tremendous respect to you, good sir! Not sure I could do that haha. TheSandDoctor Talk 23:24, 3 August 2022 (UTC) reply
@ TheSandDoctor: Close but no cigar. And it's Dr.Pinsky or Pinsky , not sir! We are all equal. Regards. Dr.Pinsky ( talk) 05:55, 4 August 2022 (UTC) reply
Meh, I don't smoke anyways . I know we are all equals here -- though reading that half awake made me think I'd typo'd "Pinksy" again (and not caught it for the first time) lol -- "Good sir" just fit better in that sentence hehe. Kind of makes me think of these moments (bullets 2 & 3) from Stargate, only you'd be both lol. TheSandDoctor Talk 14:37, 4 August 2022 (UTC) reply
I have a friend who was a consultant ENT surgeon; he started to feel a slight tremble in his hands in his late fifties, so retired from surgery and completed a PhD in the history of Edinburgh. He's both kinds of doctor too. Anyway, I stopped by to let you know that I've just blocked the person who left you that inappropriate warning template as the sock of a blocked user.

When I decided to finish my degree at the age of 47, I was already established in my clinical practice. I had the luxury of pursuing a degree in a subject I was interested , for the sheer pleasure of learning. It wasn't going to impact my professional life; it was merely a chance to complete something I had previously abandoned. Completing a PhD degree was purely for personal satisfaction!

Religion Sudanese Arabs

Can you stop adding the religion percentages for Sudanese Arabs. Sudanese Arabs are predominantly Sunni Muslims and make up 70% of Sudan's population. Christians and followers of traditional religions live predominantly in the Nuba mountains and also copts and others. These percentages represent the population of Sudan as a whole not the Sudanese Arabs. Please stop adding it because it's factually not true and I am a Sudanese Arab and I know this because I have met other Sudanese Arabs as well. 97% of Sunni Islam is for the general population as a whole which includes not only the 70% of Sudanese Arabs but also the 30% of other ethnicities. If your confused please refer to minorityrights.org/sudan or the wikipedia article on Sudan. Cookiemonster1618 ( talk) 19:12, 13 June 2023 (UTC) reply

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

Biswas Family Name

I would like to bring to your attention two major concerns regarding Ekdalian's recent edit – it seems to me there's a mixing of apples and oranges. The inclusion of Mahishya and Kayasthas with the Schedule Caste category appears inaccurate. The term "Schedule Caste" was instituted based on Independent India's constitution in 1947, whereas Mahishya and Kayasthas have historical roots dating back to at least the 12th century. The "Schedule Caste" encompasses many castes. To be factually correct, if you intend to refer to Schedule Caste, it would be more appropriate to mention General Caste and Other Backward Castes (Not Mahishya and Kayasthas etc) like the way the Government of India classifies castes of its citizens. It's also worth noting that there are individuals with the last name Biswas among Brahmins and Baidya community. These people fall under the General category.

My second objection concerns the ordering of the castes associated with Biswas family name. Unfortunately, I couldn't locate any caste-vs-last-name survey to justify the arrangement that Ekdalian introduced. However, you can check publicly available admission lists at Universities in West Bengal like Jadavpur University, Kolkata University, and Medical colleges to get a sense about the caste of the people with family name Biswas. These lists categories candidates in mainly four categories based on caste - General category, Schedule caste, Schedule Tribes and Other Backward Castes. These lists suggest that individuals with a General Caste affiliation make up a significant majority among students with the Biswas family name. According to these lists, approximately 60-70% of individuals with the last name Biswas belong to the General category. Note I understand these are not correct sampling techniques. I have a feeling the percentage of people with Biswas family name is more than the above mentioned percentages in the General category. Here is my hypothesis: As Biswas is an honorary title (bestowed by rulers), they are privileged (and should be fewer) to start with. Among Scheduled Castes and OBCs, they belong to the highly privileged category. That's why their representation is overwhelmingly larger at reputable universities among Scheduled Castes and OBCs. In the general category, they are not that privileged as most people in the general category are privileged. So people with Biswas family name are relatively fewer in numbers in the general category.

Now the question is, why are you starting with Schedule Caste to list various castes associated with Biswas family name? Either you arrange the list based on alphabetical order or percentages of each category.

I appreciate your attention to these concerns and would be open to further discussion to ensure the accuracy and clarity of the information presented.
