Hello Materialspsych,

There is line on the page of "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salil_Gewali" written as "In June 2018, a short documentary on Great Minds on India was released by a Mumbai-based media house - Manthanhub"

I wanted to insert the link of ManthanHub website to mentioned authority "ManthanHub" - https://manthanhub.com/ which is relevant for this information.

But this link was removed from your side. Kindly do needful and revert. Radheshyam More (talk) 07:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

(by talk reader) @Radheshyam More: The link was removed because within our article text we don't include links to other websites per WP:ELNO. In fact, some might suspect such links of being spam links to increase traffic to the external site or boost SEO ratings. I would also encourage you to avoid using the phrase "Kindly do needful" as it is increasingly unwelcome. Chris Troutman (talk) 13:36, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for keeping Wikipedia safe from harm. You are doing a very important public service and a very important person with a very fulfilling existence that I am sure everybody appreciates. Without you, I am not sure how the Internet would function.

Block and Unexplained Revert

Hello Materialscientist, this is regarding your revert and block of my IP. I'm sorry that you considered my edits to be vandalism. A user other than me converted the redirect to a short article without sources. I reworked the article with a couple of sources in good faith in the intention of creating a short stub; specifically adding Template:Sources exist that it might be saved, and it did feel like Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers on the receiving end. I have created Talk:Zammis Clark, I welcome your input. 2A00:23C4:41A:9601:D5E0:2228:EE57:4951 (talk) 07:39, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Help

Hi User:Materialscientist I need help with explaining this user User:Bijzindia as he keeps rv every edit in Bigg Boss (Malayalam season 5). I made some edits as there was issues with the page.

Firstly as Bigg Boss comes under Big Brother franchise the format and structure of tables should be consistent right. The user insists on adding entering days of wild cards in the nominations of that particular housemate. But we don’t use that in any version of Bigg Boss and Big Brother. I even discussed this in a polite way on his talk page with proof of how tables wild cards should be CHECK HERE User talk:Bijzindia#Regarding bigg boss 5. Second in many big brother tables we don’t add Hosptilised if thr contestant as walked its normally Walked as you can see in Celebrity Big Brother (British series 22)#Housemates and Big Brother (British series 18)#Nominations table

I don’t know how more I can tolerate his appalling behaviour 2A02:6B68:10:4E00:E0BB:4277:2C88:5CA4 (talk) 16:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. This is not vandalism, and I didn't state that. The name should match the article title, hence my revert. I didn't see the article in Huggle, this is clear from the edit summary. Materialscientist (talk) 21:17, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, but you blocked the IP for vandalism. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 21:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

I unblocked. I have a lot of respect—pretty much the maximum amount—for you and 331dot, who extended the block due to incivility. I considered very carefully, and I felt an unblock was needed soon. Happy to talk it through more, bring it up for wider review, or just drop it.

Can you tell this is my first contentious unblock? I'm nervous. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 22:01, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

My block was in error, and I would have lifted it immediately if I noticed, or if someone poked me. I don't know what happened after the block, frustration from the IP was possible. Materialscientist (talk) 22:03, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Requesting to unprotect an article

Hi @Materialscientist I noticed that Bahari Ibaadat article has been protected by you for repeatedly recreating since it was deleted. I am not sure who repeatedly created the article that violated the guidelines. I am kindly requesting your help to unprotect the title so that I can work on the article to make it as per Wikipedia guidelines. ahmadi.afg (talk) 04:50, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Materialscientist,

Faridahmadi.itp came to ask me to reduce create protection on this page title but since you set the last level of protection, I directed them here to discuss it with you or suggested that they could try making a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. But mostly, I suggested that they work on a draft version and submit it to AFC for review and, hopefuly, approval. To be honest, I don't recall the circumstances about this article on Bahari Ibaadat or what block-evading sockpuppets were trying to create the article. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:51, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely, I'd ask them to write a draft in a personal or draft space before unprotecting the page. Materialscientist (talk) 05:13, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:ET007-10.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:ET007-10.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Italy 2.45.126.120

Unfortunately we have a problem. They have been at this for over 6 months doing number vandalism from many different IPs, some IP4 others IP6, all from Italy, usually changing the heights of things, buildings, mountains etc.. thousands of edits. Blocking does nothing, in fact might be a bad idea as at least we can track them. After a block they shift to a different unknown IP. I've been tracking and reverting 2.44.145.152 for a while. Sadly, I let about a dozen edits sit for a few weeks and nobody reverted them, they were overlooked by the community.

The range of IPs is in the millions, see here (click "Show more.." at bottom). The scale makes tracking impossible, much less blocking. I'm really at a loss what to do because they are causing a lot of hidden damage. -- GreenC 14:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ben Leatigaga

The article Ben Leatigaga has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NSPORTS and WP:GNG, only coverage I can find is generic "player is starting for team" news (nothing about him specifically).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hotwiki's aggressive behavior

Hi. I would like to consult something about this editor's behavior towards others. This has been going on for several years and a lot of ANI discussions were raised against this user but he only gets "a slap on the wrist" for his aggressive behavior.

Just recently, I got a run-in again with Hotwiki at the Saksi article, restoring texts that he removed because in his opinion, it was "unreferenced". After restoring them, he removed it again and justifying that the information where Mike Enriquez and Vicky Morales were transferred was "trivial", while adding italics on program titles. I restored my edits since there was an agreement before in the last ANI I raised against him that any changes in this article should be discussed in the talk page. Well, you can read the rest of our heated argument at the Saksi talk page and at one point tried to provoke me to revert his edits and be blocked again.

I'm speaking on behalf of other Filipino Wikipedians who have good intentions in editing the articles Hotwiki is trying to gatekeep for several years. If you notice, most of the articles that he gatekeeps have very little or missing information about them. He cuts and removes most of other editor's contributions and dismiss them as "trivial". Checking the Saksi, 24 Oras or Unang Hirit articles alone shows that if you read those articles, you will sense that some information is missing. Not to mention the his behavior in the past when he replaced most of the GMA Network's image title cards and replacing it with the same image that he uploaded.

I have confronted this user several times, and it seems he's just being hard-headed and won't agree on any consensus. What's "right" in his opinion must be followed and the hell other editors' contributions.

What should I do with this? If another ANI will be raised against him, other administrators that have no background or knowledge on his past behavior will just dismiss these accusations and sometimes, the one that is reporting is being gaslit. -WayKurat (talk) 07:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

I also need to inform that WayKurat personally attacked me yesterday.[3] From my observation, WayKurat is personally holding a grudge over that article, and him being blocked last September 2023[4], when I reported him to 3RR. Ever since that happened, I've only ever interacted with him directly once which was yesterday. Hotwiki (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Also, please take a look at this link, for more discussion regarding this issue.[5] Hotwiki (talk) 10:28, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Please note that Hotwiki started the personal attacks and did WP:POKE by posting this. -WayKurat (talk) 10:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

About article "The Dancing Clown"

This article's only two sources are unverifiable print sources that may or may not contain the information they are said to contain. Creator and primary editor of this article attempted to create numerous hoax articles in the past and add false information to articles. I could find absolutely nothing about this movie when I did an Internet search. Based on all this, I am led to believe that this article is a hoax and that this film is nonexistent. If this is indeed the case, I recommend having the user blocked to prevent further disruption. I attempted to alert a user to this months ago, but nothing happened after all that time.
