ANSI Escape Code

Hi Arjayay, thanks for [your adjustments] to my edits on the ANSI Escape Code page. Regarding the "cn" on the claim that "ISO 8613-6 does not specify the format of the RGB triple": the reference immediately prior states:

NCURSES FAQ:

The term “direct colour” has been interpreted as “24-bit mapping of RGB” (it is an interpretation, since the ISO standard referenced is not specific).

And then that reference proceeds to quote from the standard. That seems to me like a reasonable citation for the statement. I realize that the citation is referenced from the previous sentence, but it seems unwieldy to re-reference every statement on a page.

Does the reference seem improper/insufficient to you, or is there a way you think would make more sense to reference it? Plothound (talk) 21:30, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Plothound - I think you need to look at the page history again. The "adjustment" you link to was not made by me, my edit, here, was to simply delete a duplicate "has". Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 22:11, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Ah, yes, thanks, I was mis-reading the diff / page history. Sorry for the bother, and thanks for your fixup. Plothound (talk) 02:27, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

About your revertment of my edit on Azad Kashmir

Hello @Arjayay, my name is GuesanLoyalist (you are able to call me Loyalist or GL if you wish) and I would like to know why you reverted my edit on Azad Kashmir?

I mainly added the flag of Pakistan ({{flag|Pakistan}}) because since the infobox is already about a political division of Pakistan, and the fact that I prefer flagicons when in relations to geopolitics, but you seemed to reverted it under the reasons of "No flags in articles about the disputed territories as per consensus". This confuses me as the Administered by: section already lists Pakistan, and for the way that I see them, Flagicons are usually meant to Identify countries, locations, and what they own, etc.

Also won't listing Pakistan as the administrator already be considered to be in violation of the consensus that you talked about in your edit summary?

Note that I don't mean to be aggressive in this message, I am simply just looking for answers for things/decisions that I find confusing.

Cheers though!

GuesanLoyalist (talk) 02:56, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi GL and thanks for your post. I don't know what you know about the "disputed territories" but, on Wikipedia, the phrase covers:-

Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh - administered by India

Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan - administered by Pakistan

Aksai Chin and Trans-Karakoram - administered by China

These are contentious articles, covered by additional restrictions, and have been subject to extensive vandalism and edit warring.
Wikipedia tries to report facts, and so describes them all as "Administered by", as this is a relatively undisputed fact - the local government, health, education etc. are administered by a specific country, and you don't have to own something in order to administer it.
Wikipedia does not, however, decide the ownership of such disputed areas, and the "ownership" of Azad Kashmir is disputed between Pakistan and India, with Pakistan claiming ownership, whereas The Government of India disputes that and refers to the territory as "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir" ("POK").

In an attempt to reduce the amount of edit warring there was an agreement in August 2019 between the Wikiprojects of India, Pakistan and China, to use a standardized wording in the lead paragraph and infobox, and avoid the use of flags, seals, or emblems, as they could indicate "ownership".
If you look at the 6 articles listed above, the leads should all be similar (I say should, because they are still occasionally vandalized) and, as of 11.22 today, none of them included any flags, seals, or emblems. Hope that answers your question - best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 11:29, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Ah, Thanks for telling me about that! That makes much more sense.

Hi Ajay.. I need your help in editing the goud caste page..

File:Communities Segments Synonyms Surnames gowda.png

File:Gowda-caste-certificate.jpg

Goud (also spelled Gowd) is a social category in South India whose name originated as a regional title historically used by several occupational sub-groups—including Gowda, Ediga, Settibalija, Srisayana, and Yatha in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Initially functioning purely as a title adopted by these communities, the term gradually evolved over time into an umbrella caste designation, particularly in the Telangana region. Despite this transformation, its usage continues to vary across states, and in many contexts the term still retains the characteristics of a title rather than a singular caste identity.

Goud[Gowda, Ediga, Settibalija, Srisayana, and Yatha] Andhra Gowda (talk) 19:09, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Andhra Gowda - if you want a change made to that article, you need to make a formal edit request at Talk:Goud in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
You must also cite reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article.

These must be references to reliable sources with a reputation for fact checking e.g. books from reputable publishers, mainstream newspapers, or magazines; not tabloids, forums, blogs, social media, wikis, or other websites with user-generated content. The sources also need to be independent from the subject of the article - not a caste or social group promotion, and not WP:Primary sources, or PDFs, like you added here, and which have been deleted as copyright violations.

Finally, please note that you are only allowed to make a formal edit request at Talk:Goud, you are not allowed to get into any discussions. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 12:57, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Gujarat

Hi Arjayay, I noticed that you removed the picture of Raj Sabhagruh from Gujarat page. I have re-added replacing with img already existing elsewhere in article. The structure simply looks elegant with unique architectural design, please let it be in the grid. ~2025-35437-04 (talk) 23:01, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Mary Maude page

Hello. You have removed the information I added to the Mary Maude Wikipedia page, specifically her birth year and spouse. This data was based on numerous British archives that I have reviewed and is accurate. The information about the birth year 1950 is stated randomly on many websites but is not correct. Many are looking for any data about her, and at the moment I am conducting extensive research on this topic which may supplement the page. ~2025-34906-62 (talk) 02:51, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

~2025-34906-62 - as stated in my edit summary, I removed is as "unsourced" - because it was unsourced. There is no point in claiming "This data was based on numerous British archives", the BURDEN to add a citation to a verifiable reliable source, lies totally upon whoever adds the information.
As it appears that there is conflicting information on her DoB, which is not uncommon with actresses and singers, Wikipedia should show that, with references to both/all of the dates. It is not up to Wikipedia editors to only show the date that they like.
Furthermore, Wikipedia is NOT interested in your "extensive research on this topic" as Wikipedia has a strict policy of No original research. Please do not try to add your research to that article. Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 12:34, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

120 bahadur

need help if possible to protect this page from persistent vandalism by accounts that start with 2025. I believe all the account starting with 2025 have cropped up in last few weeks and are trying to push a certain narrative. can you help Bonadart (talk) 01:59, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bonadart, I am not an Admin, so I can do no more than you can. You could request protection at WP:RPP, but there has only been one edit in the last 12 hours, and that was a correct updating of the Bollywoodhungama.com gross figure. As for the accounts starting with ~2025 these are just temporary accounts, which we now use instead of the IP addresses we used to use. Best wishes. - Arjayay (talk) 10:01, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

but these accounts being used to push a certain narrative, like most of the them are trying to promote someone called Javed Khan King, who is that. Its clear these accounts have been created for pushing a narrative, anyways thanks Bonadart (talk) 10:11, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Jean-Paul Goux

Hello Arjayay I am trying to improve the notice of Jean-Paul Goux who is a French writer of some importance, not yet translated in English. I translated a few extracts of the French article (I made) and put in some French references. Is that not allowed ? My information is very sure, I wrote an essay on Goux to be published next year and wrote part of my pHD about his work.

Can you help me ?

Best regards, Alix — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2025-31451-79 (talk) 16:50, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello ~2025-31451-79
Firstly, please do not paste your post in the middle of a totally unrelated post, but at the bottom, with a new title, as is clearly requested above.
Secondly, please sign your posts with 4 tildes, to leave your name and a time-stamp.
Thirdly, you did not "put in some French references" you added no references whatsoever - putting a number in square brackets does not create a reference.
Finally, Wikipedia cannot use your essay, or PhD, as we do not allow original research - Arjayay (talk) 19:54, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Karimganj District and Karimganj Town

Both Karimganj District and Karimganj Town have been officially renamed to Sribhumi District and Sribhumi Town in November 2024, respectively. It's been one year since the name change. Can you please move both pages to Sribhumi District and Sribhumi Town, respectively? Goswami21 (talk) 01:14, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Goswami21 - We use the "Common names" in English for our articles, not the "Official names", so you would need to prove that the predominant use, in English, has totally changed in a year, which is unlikely. As an example, Bangalore was renamed Bengaluru on 1 November 2014, and after 16 move discussions we renamed our page on 27 November 2024. I suggest you discuss the proposed move at the relevant talk pages. Best wishes. - Arjayay (talk) 11:09, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Request to Add Clarification on Kalabhra–Mutharaiyar Misidentification IN Mutharaiyar TAMIL ARTICLE முத்தரையர் - தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியா

Hello respected editor,

I kindly request a correction regarding a common historical misunderstanding found in some secondary sources that connect the Mutharaiyar community with the Kalabhra dynasty. Multiple academic works clarify that this linkage is *not supported by reliable historical evidence*.

Below are neutral, peer-reviewed, and standard academic references that explain the distinction clearly(below the tamil version). I request the addition of a brief clarification section in the article, based strictly on these verifiable sources.(the tamil version of this is below please update this(tamilversion) is in முத்தரையர் - தமிழ் விக்கிப்பீடியா (article link) in that update in section முத்தரையரின் தோற்றம் .

முத்தரையார் சமூகத்தை களப்ரா வம்சத்துடன் இணைக்கும் சில இரண்டாம் நிலை ஆதாரங்களில் காணப்படும் ஒரு பொதுவான வரலாற்று தவறான புரிதலை திருத்துமாறு அன்புடன் கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன். இந்த இணைப்பு * நம்பகமான வரலாற்று ஆதாரங்களால் ஆதரிக்கப்படவில்லை என்பதை பல கல்விசார் படைப்புகள் தெளிவுபடுத்துகின்றன. பல வரலாற்றாய்வாளர்கள் முத்தரையர்களை தமிழ் பேசும் போர்வீரக் குழுவாகவும், தமிழ்நாட்டு பகுதியில் ஆழமான வேர் கொண்டவர்களாகவும் குறிப்பிடுகின்றனர்.

நடுநிலை, சக மதிப்பாய்வு செய்யப்பட்ட மற்றும் நிலையான கல்விக் குறிப்புகள் கீழே உள்ளன, அவை வேறுபாட்டை தெளிவாக விளக்குகின்றன. இந்த சரிபார்க்கக்கூடிய ஆதாரங்களின் அடிப்படையில் கட்டுரையில் ஒரு சுருக்கமான தெளிவுபடுத்தல் பகுதியைச் சேர்க்குமாறு கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன்.

Sorry ~2025-37961-60 I don't understand enough Tamil to make such an edit. Please make a formal edit request at the talk page. - Arjayay (talk) 11:37, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

I kindly request you to edit this in muthuraja tamil article . the tamil version given here is direct translation of the above english version with source so please update it becasue no one in that talk page is responding . if you have any doubt in this tamil version is correct translation of the above english version just type copy paste in google translator.

I am sincerely hoping you consider this request. ~2025-37961-60 (talk) 18:12, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) TA, if there is a reason that you cannot make the edit yourself, and instead you are asking someone to make the edit for you, you are requesting a proxy edit, which is not allowed. You will have to handle this issue on the Tamil Wikipedia, we cannot help you here. Thank you. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 18:16, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

bro even with source why i cannot ask edit request from someone else and that mutharaiyar tamil article admin is not even responding and i am new to wikipedia so i dont have editing options.so i request @ArjayayArjayay to update the tamil mutharaiyar article ~2025-38257-43 (talk) 18:35, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Which part of "Please make a formal edit request at the talk page" do you not understand? - as explained by Ivanvector "you are requesting a proxy edit, which is not allowed" - Arjayay (talk) 20:21, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

My friend, this is the English Wikipedia. If you have an issue with an article on this wiki, we are happy to help. We cannot help you with a problem you are having on a different wiki. It doesn't matter what the problem is, we can't help. You must ask someone on the Tamil Wikipedia for help. I do not know who you need to ask, it's not my wiki and I neither speak nor read the language. Please ask for help on the Tamil Wikipedia.
