You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on OpIndia; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Harshil want to talk? 10:38, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

- @Serial Number 54129: - Thanks for pinging me. I will disable the bot until I can figure out what is going on. At initial glance, it stopped editing the json configuration to store message dates. I am assuming something changed with permissions/pywikibot. Kadane (talk) 04:39, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

- Alright everything got fixed. Here is what happened. A user signed up for notifications, but had not created their user talk page. The bot attempted to leave a message on that page, however, it did not have create page permissions assigned to the BotPassword. This caused the bot to crash before it saved the JSON configuration that it uses to determine when a message was last sent. The bot stopped recording that it was sending messages. Thanks again for letting me know! KadaneBot (talk) 17:06, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

Kumar Rajagopalan
Hello, I am a second-year student of Mass Media from Mumbai with an interest in business and business personalities. Particularly, retail. My article about Kumar Rajagopalan was taken down by you citing that I was potentially being paid to edit the article. I am not being paid for any of my contributions. Never have been. This is an unbiased and free contribution. You can check from my previous contributions as well. I am a regular at editing other articles too to ensure that the quality of articles in terms of both the syntactic and semantic values is upheld on this platform.
Kindly restore my article or direct me towards the right manner of writing articles to ensure that I comply better with the guidellines. Thank you so much. Love from India.

Discussion
- Can you review the sentence in the lede containing the word 'money'. Your original was:
- although the Yorkists were bound to pay large sums in compensation, this was done by with money already owed the by the government.
- Recently this was:
- although the Yorkists were bound to pay large sums in compensation, this was done by with money already owed by the government.
- I've just changed it to
- although the Yorkists were bound to pay large sums in compensation, this was done with money already owed by the government.
- But that reads very strangely. "owed by the government"? Should that be "owed to the government"?
- Shenme (talk) 01:23, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Shenme: apologise for the delay getting back to you. I couldn't find an easy way to phrase that, in quite a few attempts, but the point was (is) that the Yorkists made the payments to the dead Lancastrians' families with money that was owed to them by the government already (unpaid wages were a fact of life for Henry VI's nobility!). If you can tweak and improve it, go ahead :) ——SerialNumber54129 13:45, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

/* September 2019 */ I AM THE SOURCE SIR MENELIK I MADE THIS DR OCTAGON ALBUM FOR KOOL KEITH
http://www.unkut.com/2005/06/holdin-new-cards-scaramanga-interview/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/sun-large-records-star-of-the-empire-mgmt-a-publ-70986832/detail/recent-activity/shares/ Finally the full true story about the Dr. Octagon concept is out!! Read now!!!
1. "Dr. Octagon/Dr.Octagynocologist)-Bulk Records/Mo'WaxRecords/DreamWorks Records 4 songs 1."No Awareness b/w Bear Witness" 12" 2. "Dr. Octagon" 3. "On Production" 4. "Biology 101"
The Dr. Octagon concept was developed by Sir Menelik for Kool Keith in 1994. The multi-syllabic, on beat/off beat style of rap cadence with futuristic/sci-fi context was the calling card of the Dr. Octagon album. Assistance and inspiration also came from Alexander Calderon of the rap group "Raw Breed" Alex Calderon had a group named "Dr. Bizarro" that disbanded that had a similar plot in pre-conception to Dr. Octagon. Alex and Sir Menelik worked on demo's for songs together at Ice-T's studio in LA at the time. The original concept song that started the whole Dr.Octagon recording process was the "So Intelligent" featuring Kool Keith and DLS (produced by T.R. Love UltraMagnetic Mc's) off the Cyclops 4000 demo TR Love was making at the time for for Sir Menelik in 1994. T.R. Love also worked on demo's at that time for Raw breed and Kool Keith. After some time the duo of Sir Menelik recorded the Dr. Octagon track (produced by K.Matlin). Dan Nakamura had Bulk Records that wanted to put together a project with Kool Keith. Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito on 89.9 got the So intelligent demo from Sir Menelik. That is how the Dr. Octagon project got its legs.Sir Menelik had made the demo's recorded during that time period a two part project -Dr.Octagon demo's were for Kool Keith, and Cyclops 4000 demos were for Sir Menelik. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir Menelik aka Scaramanga (talk • contribs) 11:04, 2 September 2019 (UTC) You claim to opposes the Wikimedia Foundation's arbitrary, opaque, and dictatorial office-banning of administrators when the community and ArbCom are more than capable of handling the issue themselves.

Coterel gang scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the Coterel gang article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 18, 2019. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 18, 2019, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted on or after October 1, 2018, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

Right. I have done some work on Pontvallain. It certainly seems FACable, and probably without too much further work - you have done a good job there. I have done a fair bit of copy editing, MoS-proofing and shuffling things around; now is the time to scream if you really don't like it. If you do, maybe you could:
- Have a look at the query on the talk page.
- Let me know if you are happy with the third paragraph of "Background". If you are I will see if I can find some references.
- Have a read through and flag up anything you're not happy with or which needs further information or work.
- There are five unused references. Do you want to see if you can find something in each of them to cite the revised text? (It would be nice to keep them.)

Sock puppet investigation
Just so we're clear, I perfectly understand the purposes of SPI and I had plenty of reasons to be suspicious (most of which have already been outlined in great detail). But because of the my BLP violation and the length of it, certain administrators chose not to listen.
But that's neither hear nor there. While I stand by my statements in regard to the IP user, I have chosen to move forward and leave any actions in the hands of WilyD. The BLP matter itself has also been resolved, and I have no interest in dwelling on this any further. DarkKnight2149 18:12, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

- To be fair, history already has repeated itself. The last time I was accused of casting aspersions was with Twitbookspacetube in February 2017, who frequently parroted and tag-teamed with other users while acting in bad faith. Do you know what happened? Nobody listened to me... And seven months later, he was banned from Wikipedia for all the things I warned everyone he was doing (and then some).

- The reason I'm posting this is to clear up any residual doubt. I absolutely did violate BLP (inadvertently), but the "cast aspersions" claims are incorrect. One thing I have observed at WP:ANI is that it's a lot easier for (hypothetical) dishonest users to game the system when:
- A) A hypothetical ANI thread is a drawn out, unorganised, and complex mess that's difficult to keep track of. That's actually why I insisted that people talk to me about BLP on my talk page instead of there.
- B) When there's a sliver of truth in their claims. In this particular case, the sliver was that I violated BLP.
- Either way, I have no more intention of harping on this. The past is the past, I just hope that I helped clear some of this up with you. Have a great weekend. DarkKnight2149 20:19, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Uh-uh. Well, accusing editors of socking without evidence ("there is no credible allegation of WP:BADSOCK"), is an aspersion, which has been reiterated by the abitration committee on numerous occasions ("An editor must not accuse another of misbehavior without evidence, especially when the accusations are repeated or severe", for ex).

Hey friend, I just reverted you. Check out the rationale for my changes on the talk page. If you disagree, I won't edit war and we can just discuss my arguments for the changes. GergisBaki (talk) 09:28, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
WT:FAC
Regarding this comment, editors have in the past requested or started RFCs about the FAC coordination process. We continue to be sensitive to the possibility that some folks may feel that way, and respectfully open the door to such requests. --Laser brain (talk) 12:18, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Brutal
Serial Number 54129, You have been quite brutal at ANI. I hope I have a better experience with you in the future and look forward to working with you on the project. Have a great weekend and a great thanksgiving. Lightburst (talk) 20:10, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
