Your signature and linter errors
Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:MP1999|<b style="color:yellow;font-family:Segoe Script;font-size:large;">MP1999</b>]] <sup style="font-family:Andalus;"> ([[User talk:MP1999|talk]]) |[[Special:Contributions/MP1999|Contribs]]) </sup>
ASAP. Unfortunately, you may need to change the color because the contrast ratio on a white background is about 1:1.1, which is way over the recommended 1:4.5.
The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature. See WP:SIGFONT for more info.
If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and I may give you another replacement signature to use. Otherwise, you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk • he/him) 15:11, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Is this right? -MP1999 talk 15:19, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- The contrast ratio for both colors is 1:3.53 and 1:8.19, respectively. The second part of the signature is fine, but you may want to choose another color for the first part if you wish. Sheep (talk • he/him) 15:26, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- Can you make it for me? It will be very kind of you. -MP1999 talk 15:29, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not very creative when choosing signatures for you, but IMO it's not too bad, so you can leave your sig as is. Sheep (talk • he/him) 17:42, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jamal Edwards. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. A quick Google search shows that he died in 2022 BoonDock (talk) 11:21, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Delhi Development Authority, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IAS. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:40, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
ReferenceExpander
Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:21, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:JioCinema Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:JioCinema Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

I completely understand being busy, and I’d like to come up with a plan where you can better learn about counter vandalism in a way that fits your current needs and availability. The CVUA would love to have you continue to join us, and I encourage you to keep up the good work on your assignments. Just let me know. Thanks! Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 07:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Karnataka (talk) 18:44, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Administrators' newsletter – August 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2023).
Interface administrator changes
- The tag filter on Special:NewPages and revision history pages can now be inverted. This allows hiding edits made by automated tools. (T334338)
- Special:BlockedExternalDomains is a new tool that allows easier blocking of plain domains (and their subdomains). This is more easily searchable and is faster for the software to use than the existing MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. It does not support regex (for complex cases), URL path-matching, or the MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist. (T337431)
- The arbitration cases named Scottywong and AlisonW closed 10 July and 16 July respectively.
- The SmallCat dispute arbitration case is in the workshop phase.
Speedy deletion contested: Szilvia Molnar
Hello MP1999. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Szilvia Molnar, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Has a work published after the previous discussion. Thank you. BangJan1999 20:18, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
Administrators' newsletter – September 2023
News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).
- Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
- A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that
[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment
.
- Special:Contributions now shows the user's local edit count and the account's creation date. (T324166)
- The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming
local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus
. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged tonote when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful
.
- Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

Wikipedia’s neutrality contested
Hello sir, I find Wikipedia to be very biased and not neutral at all. This is very obvious as even journalistic truth agencies that evaluate bias, have determined that Wikipedia is inherently left leaning and not objectively neutral. I trust you will be of the different perspective and persuasion that seeks to keep Wikipedia neutral. Many thanks, Abby 134.22.109.106 (talk) 12:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Your contributed article, List of broadband providers in the India
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of broadband providers in the India. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – List of internet service providers in India. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of internet service providers in India. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Broc (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

- List of internet service providers in India already exists, no need for a duplicated page. @Whpq I see you refused the CSD A10 and turned the page into a redirect. The reason why I tagged it for CSD instead of redirecting is that I don't believe "in the India" is a plausible redirect given the unlikely grammar mistake. What do you think? Broc (talk) 06:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. I have undone my redirect and deleted instead. -- Whpq (talk) 06:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Excitel Broadband
Hello MP1999,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Excitel Broadband for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
