Hello! NerdyGenius1,

Hello NerdyGenius1,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, Maye Ni Maye, may be copied from http://www.lyricsbogie.com/movies/hum-aapke-hain-koun-1994/maye-ni-maye.html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 23:09, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Maye Ni Maye
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Maye Ni Maye, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Vivvt • (Talk) 23:59, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...! (Soundtrack)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...! (Soundtrack). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...!. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Hum Aapke Hain Kaun...! – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. - Vivvt • (Talk) 19:56, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Abdul Nasir Jangda, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.hajjbound.com/listings/abdul-nasir-jangda/.
It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add references from independent reliable sources to the article to meet our verifiability and notablility requirements.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 21:07, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
Sockpuppet investigation
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fd/Puppeter_template.svg/40px-Puppeter_template.svg.png)
Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NerdyGenius1, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
I apologize. I didn't know about this concept of sockpuppetry. I won't do it again.

Decline reason:
You weren't aware? Of what? I find it difficult to believe you created a second account and used it to remove that speedy deletion tag, in between edits from your main account, and did not mean to hide it was you doing so.

[edit]July 2021
[edit] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Incense Trade Route. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. FDW777 (talk) 22:34, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
Please do not insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did to Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Request reason:
I had simply forgotten to add the word "alleged" even though the following sentence I added clearly pointed out that the claims were denied. I used the word "claims". If I was advised rather than reported, I would have fixed my mistake myself. Instead, I was accused and my whole edit was ignored except the one sentence where I forgot to add "alleged" In fact, in the following sentence, I clearly wrote that the government denied it. By pointing out that the government denied the "claim", that was me adhering to NPOV. I clearly wrote, in the following sentence, in This edit, "although the government denied the claims and government-employed psychiatrists accused her of faking it"
and by "it" I referred to mental illness, as per the article. This is all according to this archived link. Please see paragraph 6. I would like to add that the article clearly mentions the torture within the context of her psychological fitness. After all, after 5 paragraphs of mentioning her psychological fitness, the NEXT paragraph mentions that she was allegedly tortured, after which the following paragraph consisted of PSYCHOLOGISTS denying that she was tortured.

Decline reason:
None of this is relevant now; the socking is sufficient to keep you blocked. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:47, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

- Are you claiming that the cited New York Times article discusses "alleged" torture? Please quote the sentence(s) that discuss alleged torture in that reference. Cullen328 (talk) 03:36, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: Paragraph 6 says
"a period when her supporters have said she was abducted by foreign authorities and tortured."
according to this archived link. Please see paragraph 6. The sentence is then followed by prosecutors denying it, which I included in my own following sentences.- You did not attribute that claim to her supporters. You stated it in Wikipedia's voice. That is a big no-no in the biography of any living person. Especially a person at the center of an international controversy. After I pageblocked you from two articles, you have taken your initial disruption of those articles to two other articles, and instead of scrupulous adherence to NPOV, we now see more POV pushing from you. Another administrator will evaluate your unblock request. Cullen328 (talk) 03:53, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- I believe the word "Claim" is a direct reference to the fact that it is a claim. I believe that if I mentioned the word "alleged" it would have the same affect as saying that "Supporters claim". If I had included the word "alleged" it would have followed the NPOV guidelines, I simply forgot to use it when summarizing the entire New York Times Article. However, I gave a direct reference to the word "claim and that the government denied it. I clearly wrote, in the following sentence, in This edit,
"although the government denied the claims and government-employed psychiatrists accused her of faking it"
and by "it" I referred to mental illness, as per the article. I believe this following sentence has the same affect of stating that it is alleged, and I have clearly stated that it was disputed by government authorities. By pointing out that it is disputed by government authorities, I have not made it Wikipedia's voice.(NerdyGenius1 (talk))- As stated previously, I will allow an uninvolved administrator to evaluate my block. If another administrator concludes that I have made an error, I will not object to an unblock. My assumption, of course, is that an uninvolved administrator will take a deep look at the overall pattern of your edits to date. Let's see how that goes. Cullen328 (talk) 05:23, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- As I wrote on my own user talk page, I do not believe that your assertion that claims of torture
were central to the psychological evaluations prior to the trial
, is in any way accurate according to the cited sources, and that you have a very bad habit of stretching the assertions of cited sources far beyond the scope of what those sources actually say. You seem to want to cite these sources in support of a torture narrative in Wikipedia's voice that is not supported by the actual text of the cited sources. Cullen328 (talk) 06:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)- @Cullen328: With respect, I must differ. The New York Times Article talks about the mental health of the subject. When talking about the mental health of the subject, the main central point that both sides differ on is whether the torture occurred. If you read the article, you will see that the supporters alleged that she was tortured, and hence connected that to the mental illness. In opposition, the government denied the torture and captivity, and so therefore accused her of faking it. The issue of torture, which is in itself an extension of the issue of captivity in a CIA Black Site, is central to the article. I apologize if I paraphrased too much, but I didn't want too much expansive text and wanted to keep it as concise as possible.(NerdyGenius1 (talk) 08:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC))

- @Cullen328: Paragraph 6 says
- Nerdygenius, Cullen asked me to look over these comments and edits. I am not in a position to speak out on all the causes that led to the block, but I did look over this incident. You wrote, "she was initially declared unfit to stand trial due to the torture she allegedly underwent", but that inference is invalid: the article clearly says "After a court-ordered evaluation found that she was unfit for trial as a result of a mental disease". NOT because of torture, alleged or not, and that's a pretty big difference. Essentially, you have conflated the alleged torture with whatever "mental disease" was found in the evaluation--that's synthesis, really, but that's the nice way to put it. A less nice way is saying that you have construed something out of elements in that article that is really not there. The article does not affirm any connection between alleged torture and "mental disease" at all--it says "[The defense psychologist] cited various statements, like one in which she said she had been injected with a substance designed to make her break the Ramadan fast, as examples of 'her delusional thought process.'" If anything, one can conclude from that that the alleged torture is in fact the result of mental disease, not the cause of it. Drmies (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Drmies: I do not believe it is invalid, for if you read the whole article together in this archived link, you will find that the center of the mental illness debate is the whole point of the article, and then in paragraph 6 it mentions why both sides feel the way they do, and they talk about the torture. So, the title of the article covers her fitness on trial. The first 5 paragraphs give both sides on whether she was mentally fit to stand trial. Paragraph 6 goes on to mention the torture, as if it's relevant to the context of her mental illness. Paragraph 7 mentions that a PSYCHOLOGIST was arguing about her whereabouts from 2003-2008. The fact that a PSYCHIATRIST was arguing about her whereabouts means that her whereabouts were the subject regarding the debate on her mental health. Please answer a question for me: Why would an article about her mental health start talking about her whereabouts from 2003-2008, including the opinions of Psychologists regarding her whereabouts, if it was of no relevance to her mental health?(NerdyGenius1 (talk) 19:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC))
- Your persistence only confirms what I thought. Drmies (talk) 21:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Drmies: With respect, it is not persistence, but simply reading comprehension. What is YOUR opinion on an article dedicated to psychological fitness for a trial that includes alleged torture, then has PSYCHOLOGISTS giving arguments denying torture? Again, I was wrong when I forgot the word "Allegedly" but I can say with utmost confidence that I did not misrepresent as source.(NerdyGenius1 (talk) 04:59, 25 January 2022 (UTC))

- In addition, I kind of lost count at Aafia Siddiqui, where in the article history, on the talk page, and on the NPOV board I think you had 7 or 8 editors who disagreed with you, and none who agreed, and that the charges of editing against consensus and edit warring are certainly valid. So that's two articles and two series of edits where you were simply wrong. One more thing: User:Love of Corey suggested you had edited as an IP also, and you denied it--but the accusation was correct. Drmies (talk) 17:41, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- I can say with a fact that that accusation was not correct. Firstly, my IP was banned from editing, so I couldn't have done it. I believe he was referring to "2603:7000:2143:8500:d5d8:7404:2f4a:d842" which I can attest with utmost confidence that it wasn't me. Please, if there is any way you can confirm that, I BEG that you try to find any evidence that we were the same. Because we aren't.(NerdyGenius1 (talk) 19:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC))
- No, that was not it. Wikipedia:CheckUser is a powerful tool. And again, a few logged-out edits aren't the biggest deal in the world, but it becomes a bigger deal if you categorically deny. BTW, "my IP was banned from editing" is an invalid statement: IPs may be blocked, but that IP was never blocked, not until Cullen blocked your account. Drmies (talk) 21:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- I am going to be completely honest. At the time that he had accused me of editing, I had not edited once. However, I did ask my friend to add 3 words and some sources, but I didn't do anything myself, and the friend edited AFTER Love of Corey's complaint. Please check timings and dates. If it is a powerful tool, I am confident that you can confirm anything I said to be true.(NerdyGenius1 (talk) 04:59, 25 January 2022 (UTC))
- Better late than never? CU cannot confirm who did the typing, but it can confirm that it was from the same IP address and most likely the same computer. Drmies (talk) 16:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Run it then, and you'll see that it was neither my computer nor my IP address. There was only a single edit done under my request, and Love of Corey had nothing to do with it. The Accusation that you have holds no water. I have not done any logged out edits. (NerdyGenius1 (talk) 16:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC))
