Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival

Then you take responsibility, check article, do the needful, remove tag and protect the article. This is my right to contest which i did already in talk page. This is a false alarm, alot has changed in that film festival in past few years.Fostera12 (talk) 13:39, 9 March 2024 (UTC) Go away and stop your disruption before you're blocked. —SpacemanSpiff 13:42, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I did not revert it after your message. Why would I be blocked? if i ask you to take responsibility. Pls do the needful, those old article were misinformed. This article is well sourced. Fostera12 (talk) 13:43, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

• SpacemanSpiff, considering that this article has already been a case of salt evasion, with multiple deletions across both the main and draft namespaces, do you believe it warrants being title blacklisted to prevent further attempts? GSS ^💬 15:24, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the blacklisting process, you'll have to take that up on your own or bring it to the attention of someone else who is familiar with the process. —SpacemanSpiff 16:24, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Done, have posted a request at WP:EFR. Thank you for your time. GSS ^💬 18:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Obvious sock

Hi SpacemanSpiff, can you please protect the article talk page, Talk:Gaud Saraswat Brahmin! Cheers. Ekdalian (talk) 16:53, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Why does it need protecting? Also, this is not the place to request protection, see WP:RFPP. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 14:26, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey Mseingth2133444, I haven't requested you!! Why did you reply on behalf of SpacemanSpiff? Ekdalian (talk) 16:27, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

This user is inactive. There's nothing stopping me from helping on their behalf. Please WP:AGF. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 17:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

No sorry Mseingth2133444, you are not even aware of the context; moreover, SpacemanSpiff was active till yesterday! Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 18:00, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, though I am still firm on my suggestion that you should bring it to WP:RFPP. It'll probably be done faster if you do so. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 20:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Ekdalian: Done for now, I guess a few of the accounts are blocked but even they claim it's meat and not sock.

Mseingth2133444 While I can't stop you from pontificating anywhere, please don't presume to be "helping on their behalf". —SpacemanSpiff 03:28, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, SpacemanSpiff! Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 05:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

ok fine Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 14:17, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Draft:P.K. Narayana Pillai

Spiffy! You still have that dog! Hey, if you're bored with sock-hunting and blocking nice people left and right, perhaps you can lend a hand with this draft? It's someone's grandfather, and it's a scholar of at least some renown, so we gotta get it right. Thanks my friend--and I am so glad to see you're still around. Drmies (talk) 00:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Doc! The subject is definitely notable and there ought to be a lot more Malayalam language sources (a language I can't read or write, only understand). English sources (at least online ones) can be confusing because he shares a name with Naraina Pillai (article uses both spellings). I'll take a deeper look over the next couple of days and grab some decent sources. The work that got him the Sahitya Akademi Award (which should make him notable per WP:ANYBIO) is available at many university libraries in the US (not in AL, of course!) cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 11:05, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

New user keeps removing well-referenced material without ever talking either on the Article Talk or anywhere else.

Hello SS, hope this finds you and your near and dear well, have corresponded with you in the past and long ago. A new user "MightyPoof" keeps removing material without bothering to talk anywhere on the same. Every single instance they remove well-referenced info with no compunction or regard whatsoever for Wiki rules or for others' prior effort or if there are RS backing up the info they are removing. Their worst is on Padmanabhaswamy Temple which was promoted to B-class article around the weekend of the 16th/17th. Kindly take a look at - [1] and [2] and [3]. They are also doing the same on other related pages like [4] and [5] as well as [6]. None of their additions on other pages also seem to have sources and edit summaries are often single liners. IMHO they deserve a strong rebuke. Kindly do the needful.SumerianPrince (talk) 08:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

They have explained in the edit summary. I can't say whether the edit is right or wrong but the edit summaries are rather clear. If there is a problem with the edits then start a discussion on the talk page or seek external assistance/guidance at WT:HINDUISM as on the face of it, this doesn't appear to be vandalism or anything like that. Since Ekdalian seems to have welcomed the user, they may be able to help. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 02:56, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
