Misplaced Pages:WikiProject India/Members

Please don't edit other's talk. I get it's Misplaced Pages:WikiProject India/Members, but wp:talk page guidelines - WP:TPO would still apply. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 07:24, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Please stop breaking umpteen policies and guidelines at the above article. - Sitush (talk) 10:36, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

What did I do? I just added some templates which are in use nowadays. HARSH RATHOD (talk) 10:43, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

There was other stuff - using native script for the name etc. And then saying I was a "vandal" when I was not doesn't help matters. Please read WP:NOTVANDAL. - Sitush (talk) 12:01, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

I am not a vandal, too. So, instead of writing here that I was vandalising that page you could have just undone that part explaining that Indic script is not allowed in English articles. Or you could have just fixed it with a template specific for this purpose. I'm quoting this para from article you mentioned above:

Do not feed the trolls. Fanning the fire will only serve to make the situation worse. Similarly, do not insult the vandals. If someone is doing something they know is wrong, insulting them over it is likely to make them vandalize more, just to get that reaction. Furthermore, Misplaced Pages is not the place for personal attacks, it is not a battleground, and two wrongs don't make a right. Instead, report them to the administrators if they continue.

You might be a rollbacker, filemover, etc, etc. But remember that you are not a god here. HARSH RATHOD (talk) 04:21, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Infobox film

You cannot insert your own formatting preferences in a Wiki article. There are instructions in Template:infobox film and a default template is given. There's a purpose for everything designed within it. Wikimedia server space is not your concern as far as the designers of Infobox film (after discussions and consensus) are not worried about it.

1. The spacing is to easily view and identify the parameters at-a-glance while source editing.
2. Parameter "film name" is not for adding phonetics as you did, and should not be used in Indian articles per WP:INDICSCRIPT.
3. 'India' should not be linked since well known cities and countries are not linked, it's Wiki guideline.
4. Parameter "border" is not in Infobox film, thus you are trying to add a deprecate field not even part of the template.
5. Your query on "narrator" parameter - are you sure there is no narrator in the film ? and it's part of the infobox.
6. The template specifically suggests to use Plainlist, not Ubl. Same in the case of Film date df.

If you have any problem with these, start a discussion for making changes at Template:infobox film, not edit against it.--Let There Be Sunshine 20:25, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

I already did this thing to many articles. I accept all my faults here. But is it a crime to use better templates if they are available? Every admin here just go on explaining what is this and that. Can't you accept all edits just like this guy: Sitush. This infobox layout I changed on many major articles: Camila (album), Revival (Selena Gomez album), Revival (Eminem album), etc. No one has problems with it. And then out of nowhere you appear here. One thing you must know that when working on Misplaced Pages, do it neutral point of view and with a poker face and accept what others did if it is right. There was massive chopping of the text I asigned to the alt parameter and look, did I do anything? And I don't think there is any problem with my edit. It is not hurting the sentiments of the article and there is no impact on the appearance (one of the best reason). Don't act like you are the massiah here on Misplaced Pages who will bring piece and order. Just you wait, it is a matter of time until I become a template editor. I'm gonna bring that infobox film template in order. HARSH RATHOD (talk) 02:30, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

You are welcome to edit as far as you follow the given manual of style and guidelines in Misplaced Pages. Not in your own style. What you are saying is admins and fellow editors should stand back and shut their mouth as you don't want to be taught or interested in learning to how to edit Misplaced Pages. You could get blocked if you continue this way. Sitush probably have given up on you and must have more important things to be worried about. Most editors see infobox editing as trivial, that's probably why your edits went unnoticed. And yes, you did something in "alt" text; who said they are 'protagonists' who are holding hands ? it's something you don't know. Having said you have changed the style in many infoboxes, you shall refrain from doing that again. BTW, I have reverted one edit you made on Film date, don't do that it will only count as vandalism. Thanks, I seriously hope you understand. --Let There Be Sunshine 09:57, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
