Move Chattogram to Chittagong

[edit]

Why you moved chattogram to Chittagong I have disclosed the reason in Talk:Chattogram. I have moved the page from Chittagong to Chattogram as it is the official name by the government of Bangladesh and also locally used most and according to Google trends Chattogram is the most used name. I am moving according to WP:COMMONNAME Therealbey (talk) 00:34, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Therealbey: Hi. Since there is an ongoing discussion and a previous failed requested move, this counts as a contentious move and you need to get consensus first. Please use WP:RM to start a consensus discussion. RegentsPark (comment) 13:15, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ganges Canal

[edit]

You're probably not back yet, but as I saw you post on the Gandhi talk page, I thought I'd take the liberty.

If you can, please take a look at Ganges Canal. There are suspicions of sockpuppetry. the editor SPGsec is an WP:SPA and has restored in one fell swoop material added over a four-day editing fury by a now banned editor. I did post on SPGsec's talk page. I also added various tags to the article, but I think SPGsec's additions might need to be reverted, perhaps the article might even need to be locked down for week or ten days in the status quo version.

Looks like they've been blocked as a sock so no worries. RegentsPark (comment) 15:26, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing

[edit]

Hey RegentsPark, recently I've had some disagreements with a user Jattlife121 on the page Anti-Sikh sentiment in Canada, if you go through the page's history, you'll see that much of the content clearly resembled AI-generated language (whether that was done intentionally or unwittingly I'm not sure, Jattlife insists that he did not use AI), see examples on my t/p-[1]. In addition, much of the events were clearly WP:SYNTHeized to erroneously boost content and incidents on the page (i.e. sources which spoke of racism and online discrimination against international students were used to state that Sikh students were the targets of discrimination, and sources which spoke about general racism against early immigrants were used in this train of logic- 1) Early immigrants in Canada faced discrimination 2) Sikhs were some of the early immigrants who arrived to Canada 3) Hence, Sikhs were the target of extensive discrimination, even though many of the sources made little or no mention of point 2)

Many incidents were straight up fabricated. And the original version of the article seemed to be overly zealous in promoting the WSO-[2], which made me suspicious of possible conflict of interest.

Now, Jattlife has added this section on the WSO page-[3] once again defending the WSO The WSO have responded that "Sikhs from various places and groups attended, and not all of them ended up joining the WSO, which was formally founded following this event" and that Bagri "was neither a member of the WSO nor joined after the convention". The source he provided was from a tweet by that very same organization. This is very clearly against Wikipedia's rules. I'm wondering if you could chime in here and remind Jattlife121 of Wikipedia's rules and norms surrounding proper sourcing and WP:SYNTH. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Regents Park,
The Sikh Wikipedia community have had a lot of issues with this individual due to his constant negative editing and removal of content on the page. I currently have a whole backlog of stuff which I will be presenting soon. His particular focus is on discredited Sikh organisations, but if you give me a day or so this will be presented strongly.
I find it very odd that an individual who evidently isn't a Sikh hasn't constantly made edits in a negative light and I do think Wikipedia need to intervene. I also believe his account has been nominated in the past for deletion.
Give me a day or so and this will be all be presented. Jattlife121 (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Secondly, you are commenting on an individual from India in which there may be inherent conflict of interest with these articles, so its laughable you mention conflicts of interest. Jattlife121 (talk) 18:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're free to present whatever you wish against me- just know that it isn't against Wikipedia rules to "edit negatively" as Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED and I always use reliable, academic sources to back up my work.
However, you'd save yourself a lot of time by just reading up on the different types of sources on Wikipedia, and which ones are deprecated and which ones are preferred-[4]. We can't use tweets from an involved party to write exculpatory content on Wikipedia. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 18:29, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jattlife121: Since you've taken this to ANI, I'll let this be handled there. However, do note that comments, such as the ones you make above, about the ethnicity (or lack of) or location (in or out of India) are absolutely not acceptable and you cannot question the edits of another edit based on what you think is their ethnicity or national origin. On Wikipedia, anyone can edit any page. We don't know, and generally cannot question the credentials of any user. Our main concern is that content be verifiable using reliable sources and that articles give due weight to significant viewpoints and avoid giving weight to minority viewpoints. Finally, articles should not contain promotional material. Best wishes. RegentsPark (comment) 21:52, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
RP, can this proxy be blocked per Wikipedia's policy on open proxies-[5]. Wikipedia's geolocation states this is a VPN-[6], and one of the sockmaster's other proxy, was also blocked as a proxy a while back-[7]. Both proxies have the same geolocation, ISP, and first 6 IP digits. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 14:08, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not technically savvy enough for this. Perhaps @Bishonen: can help.RegentsPark (comment) 21:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, RP, you flatter me. I'm no good with proxies. Bishonen | tålk 00:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC).[reply]
