Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to assume bad faith when dealing with other editors, as you did at Talk:Swastika, you may be blocked from editing. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Doug Weller talk 13:58, 13 December 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Swastika for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.

Hi Doug Weller, thank you for reaching out. I only left one comment on the talk page of that article that was a part of my discussion with the commenter. The comment was not made in bad faith neither was it intended to be interpreted in the same. I assure this to you as someone who has actively been an part of this community for over seven years. I also am quite confused you took it as form of disruptive editing considering that that was my only comment and was a continuation of a productive discussion regarding the topic with another editor. However, I apologize, and request a removal of the edit in question if you believe it doesn't fit the guidelines. -TheodoreIndiana (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

it's a standard template as not showing good faith is generally considered disruptive. It was a criticism of Wikipedia more than an attempt to improve the article and although I might be wrong I see what looks like an off wiki attempt to recruit people to change the article given all the IPs who've edited recently. That doesn't mean you're part of that, but all the attempts to make this sort of change in a short period of time are odd. The IP who made the request seems part of that. I know about the Indian use, but in most of the 20th century the most prominent use of the symbol is by Nazis and neoNazis under the name swastika. Doug Weller talk 19:09, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you're coming from Doug Weller, I'd request you to remove that comment/edit. I once again assure you it wasn't made in bad faith - the point I was trying to get across the other editor, who seemed to be new to the platform, was that Wikipedia does not care about their personal opinion unless the edit they're making is backed by verifiable sources. But I understand how it could have been interpreted the other way. On Swastika's actual article, which seems to be a complete mess, there does seem to be some confusion around Hakenkreuz, Sauwastika and Swastika. But be rest assured, any edits I make will be backed by proper sources. Right now, I'm not taking on this topic. -TheodoreIndiana (talk) 15:45, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've struck through it, the approved way to deal with text that has been replied to. Doug Weller talk 16:35, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article Prestige Public School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:MILL institution. Fails WP:NSCHOOL.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:26, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @MPGuy2824, thanks for your message. It's refreshing to meet a fellow WikiProject MP member here. I believe the article still passes WP:NSCHOOL but I'll have to verify that again. It's been some time since I wrote this one, I'm aware the notability criteria for secondary schools have gotten much stricter. Will post my response on the talk page in some time. -TheodoreIndiana (talk) 17:42, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article DGWHyperloop is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DGWHyperloop until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
