E-mails
[edit]You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.
Broadcasted
[edit]The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B
Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".
A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.
Misclick
[edit]Sorry about this, misclicked. -- Euryalus (talk) 11:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- No worries Euryalus' I'm sure we've all done it, but thanks for the apology. Best wishes- Arjayay (talk) 11:40, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Why did you place this on the user page?
[edit]Surely this should go on the user talk page rather than the user page? Un assiolo (talk) 15:43, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Un assiolo - my mistake - have moved it to the talk page. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 15:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Dogra
[edit]Regarding this, Sitush removed it [ for being unsourced. This user added it back [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dogras&diff=1182014921&oldid=1182014747, I removed it [1], today he added that back [2], excuse being vandalism from our part!. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Up to you Fylindfotberserk. I accept Sitush's reasoning in theory, but pragmatically, we have dozens of such articles, and whenever such a list is totally deleted, it reappears sooner or later. I am willing to spend my time restricting such lists to people with articles and keeping them in order, which avoids duplicates, but I think the endless total delete/reinstatement circle is non-productive and I don't have time to provide citations for all the entries.
- If you think it should all be reverted, then do so, with a detailed explanation in your edit summary and on the talk page. Alternatively, find sources for those that you can, and tag the others CN, separating them from those with sources with a clean-up list template, and then delete the unsourced entries in say 6 months time, after editors have had a chance to provide citations (although I doubt they will have). I think you know that this is what I often do for schools. - Arjayay (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have been having trouble editing this section - it keeps reverting to an earlier edit that I had previewed but not saved, I have now managed to edit my previous reply. - Arjayay (talk) 19:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- After a quick check, only 9 of the current list appear to be alive and 18 are dead, so few are required to/likely to meet the self-identification parameter. We are also likely to encounter the Raj sources problem with many of the older entries. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 19:30, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Mistake linking
[edit]Hi I like to inform you that you mistake the festival of La Gomera 'Virgen de Guadalupe' with another festival of the virgin of Guadalupe in Extremadura. Eduardo ECC (talk) 01:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- I already fix it for you Eduardo ECC (talk) 01:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Velile Tshabalala
[edit]Hi, not sure how to use this probably but I was trying to update Velile Tshabalala's page to reflect her recent recurring role as Stella Clayton in EASTENDERS which is documented but you removed it? Why did you do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.91.162 (talk) 16:37, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Firstly, please do not make additions at the top of the page, between 2 lines that clearly state "<!---♦♦♦ Please put new posts at the BOTTOM of the page and include a title set between double == signs ♦♦♦--->"
- As for your question, all information added to Wikipedia needs WP:Reliable sources, your addition cited Fandom, which is NOT a reliable source, as is explained at WP:FANDOM. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 17:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there,
- All it takes is a little bit of research to show that she is currently in Eastenders as Stella Clayton, please can you reinstate? Link to the Mirror article below which backs up what I had previously linked to.

MY edits we based on true facts collected from the renowned source
[edit]The insurgency Of nlft which I edited is based on true document but you deleted it RUBBERBLONG (talk) 18:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes I deleted it, RUBBERBLONG, because you did not cite a reliable source, in a reference attached to your edit, so that future readers can check the information is true, as is required by WP:Burden - Arjayay (talk) 18:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
The official website of Tripura police from where I collected information
[edit]https://tripurapolice.gov.in/PresentPhaseInsurgency RUBBERBLONG (talk) 18:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- There is no point in putting that here, RUBBERBLONG, you need to cite your sources in references attached to your edit, so that future readers can check the information is true, as is required by WP:Burden - Arjayay (talk) 18:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
