You can use "Email this user", but I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record.
I have experienced problems with e-mails not being delivered, so please leave me a message on this page if I have not replied within 48 hours.

Broadcasted

edit

The Wiktionary definition of Broadcasted states the use is sometimes proscribed, so it should not be used. The word also appears on Wikipedia:Lists_of_common_misspellings/B

Broadcasted appears in some dictionaries, but others, e.g. Chambers state "Sorry, no entries for Broadcasted were found".
Broadcast appears in all dictionaries, and should be used as COMMONALITY - "Wikipedia tries to find words that are common to all varieties of English".

A May 2023 search for Broadcast gave over 234,000 uses, compared with a search for Broadcasted which gave just 99.
Of these, 16 are redirects to "Broadcast" articles, 14 refer to a 2015 Canadian TV award and 5 relate to a 1924 cartoon. The rest are in quotations.



Singham Again

edit

@Arjayay: You reverted my changes which had both sources with range. The revision you reverted to had range with two source pinkvilla and bollywoodhungama source but with same ref tag "<ref name="bo">" and it caused only one source to be seen repeated twice. In my last revision, I fixed this error. You will have to remove the ref name tag from one of the source. RangersRus (talk) 00:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposed Improvements to the "Mitra surname" Page

edit

I’d like to discuss some proposed improvements to the "Mitra surname" page. After reviewing the content, I believe there are several areas that could benefit from additional information and clarification

I would like to draw attention on the use of Mitra surname by various other castes in Bengal like betel cultivators who are not visvamitra gotra. Secondly, Geographical spread of Mitra surname is not accurate in this page it is solely represents as Bengali surname But it is widely used by Arora- khatri community in punjab. And it would be nice to add the use of Mitra surname among parsi community along with shedding some light on the Mitharaic community worshiping the Iranian god Mithra. And it would be great to add on how Mitra as a last name is traditionally used by Brahmins. Eg- visvamitra,pushyamitra, Agnimitra. India is culturally diverse nation and inclusivity is in its morals from the very day of its creation and I would like Wikipedia to reflect the same when it's dealing with any topic related to indian cultural Heritage. Eclipsing the identity of any community would be against the very moral spirit of our nation.

I believe these updates will make the page more informative and valuable to readers. I would be happy to help research and contribute content, but I welcome any feedback on these suggestions and would love to collaborate on improving this page.

Thank you for considering this! 2409:4065:D08:655C:0:0:1E4B:3E0A (talk) 06:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Heading Change

edit

I changed the heading in the article "White Mountain Art" from 'Notable White Mountain Artists" to "Well-known White Mountain Artists". I feel "well-known" is more descriptive than "Notable". Why did you revert my edit? Who is to say what is a better heading? JJ (talk) 21:46, 10 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi JJ, "Notable" is the standard term used across Wikipedia - look at any city article and there will probably be a list of "Notable people", or university article will have "Notable alumni", etc. This all derives from Wikipedia's principle of WP:Notability.

Augment (app) page removal

edit

Hi @Arjayay Augment has been acquired by StayinFront and we would like to remove this page from the Wikipedia site. Please let me know what evidence you may need to support this, thank you. AAnwar3 (talk) 09:54, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi AAnwar3 - We don't necessarily remove pages, just because a firm has been taken over. Many people won't know that, and would still look it up as "Augment", whilst we wouldn't want to loose the history of the original company. As you have a conflict of interest, I suggest you provide a reference about the take over at Talk:Augment (app) and request it is added to the article. - Arjayay (talk) 15:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry Kumarkeshav2805, I can't do that right now. Furthermore, I can't protect the page, as I'm not an Admin, so I clearly have not protected it before, despite your claim. As for only allowing you to edit, we don't do that for any page. Best wishes - Arjayay (talk) 09:30, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
