Changes
I have made changes because the information you have on both actors are wrong. I have reliable sources in her youtube video shivangi mentioned how old she is and where she was born and where she moved after her birth. As for Mohsin khan i do have reliable sources and his video confession. so please can you revert the changes i made and i can show you the sources and cite them do if you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saad123890 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I see you are actively reverting the edits of the disruptive IP. I request you to semi this article for a long duration as this disruption by the IP has been in place for quite sometime.

hi I am Rajat Tokas,manager of Jimmy Sharma, please let me know why you have edited jimmy sharma page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tokastrance (talk • contribs) 10:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi Tokastrance - I took a look at the article's edit history, and it appears that Yamaguchi先生 reverted unreferenced changes to the article content that were in violation of Wikipedia's policy on articles that are biographies of living people. He also applied semi protection to the article due to the rate of editing where violations of this policy were continuously being added. Please review this policy for more information on how we scrutinize and treat these articles and let either of us know if you have any questions.
- On a side note, you mention above that you're this person's manager. Please know that this represents a conflict of interest and editing articles where this is present is a highly discouraged behavior. I highly recommend that you participate, edit, and improve other articles that you don't have any of these kinds of issues with. Thanks - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hello Tokastrance, thank you for contacting me. In the prior week someone claiming to be the younger brother of Jimmy Sharma has demonstrated an interest in this article as well. [1] In light of the potential WP:COI issues I am extending the same suggestion to you, which is to consider submitting any future proposed changes on the respective article talk page, located at Talk:Jimmy Sharma. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:21, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Edit summaries, etc
Please remember to use an edit summary. Especially when reverting another editor - as here.
See here - "It is considered good practice to provide a summary for every edit, especially when reverting (undoing) the actions of other editors or deleting existing text ..".
Furthermore, that revert was not appropriate. The edit was proper. --2604:2000:E016:A700:8C1C:E43B:94E9:3AC2 (talk) 23:50, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Peiligang culture
Hi Yamaguchi先生. Don't you think this was a bit excessive? After all, the article did have two references, before you relabelled them as Further reading. But it lacked inline citations. The appropriate thing in that situation is to tag with {{no footnotes}}
, rather than stubbing the article. Kanguole 23:35, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you Kanguole, will continue to track the status of this article as it develops. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:03, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Fancy Sauce
Hello, I believe you are mistaken. I only took my information from a 3rd part online publication. Nothing used was from the company themselves. I believe the content is 100% relevant based off the fact that there is a company out there that has a registered trademark on Fancy Sauce and is coming out with a retail product. Where is this "soapbox" material if I am citing credibly independent sources? Onlytruth101 (talk), 16 May 2018

Hiya, you protected Bilal Abbas Khan from being created.

User Blocked
Hi Yamaguchi, I notice you blocked the ip 210.55.186.182, and provided absolutely no reason for doing so. I was going to send this message from that IP, but you blocked me from that too, so I have to use my account. Anyway, justify your blocks please. JKerman511 (talk) 01:23, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) A review of edits by IP 210.55.186.182 makes it blindingly obvious why it was blocked. I wouldn't suggest you pursue the matter, as at this point you could and probably should be blocked by association. General Ization Talk 01:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Ghazipur
Hi Yamaguchi, I completely agree that some strong source is required for the details that I added to Ghazipur page. I would like to inform you that the details that I've entered is a myth and the people of City strongly believe in that. I am also from same City and I found this detail missing that's why I updated the same.
Thank you. Brijesh Mahajan (talk) 09:31, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
Orientales
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguayans
You removed an edit I made to the Uruguay page. I feel it is correct and appears on another wikipedia page as seen above.
The complete name of Uruguay is Oriental Republic of Uruguay, thus Orientales. Thai name appears on many official documents in Uruguay.
The first line of the national anthem in Uruguay is "orientales, la patria o la tumba", which essentially means "people of the East, the motherland or the grave".
http://www.spanishuruguay.com/learn_spanish/spanish_courses/uruguayan-oriental-what-nationality/
After reading this last article, maybe Oriental could be listed followed by "historic or falling out of use". It should still be included because it is still in use in legal documents. LunaCelestial (talk) 15:15, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Give your feedback about changes to Special:Block
Hello,
You are receiving this message because you are a top user of Special:Block on this wiki. Thank you for the important work that you do. There is a discussion happening about plans to improve Special:Block with the ability to set new types of blocks. To get the best design and new functions added, it is essential that administrators who use the tool join the discussion and share their opinions about these changes.
Instead of a full site wide block, administrators would be able to set a Partial Block. A user could be blocked from a single page, multiple pages, one or more namespaces, from uploading files, etc. There are several different ways to add this feature to Special:Block. Right now Important decisions are being made about the design and function.
Please review the page on Meta and share your feedback on the discussion page. Or you can reach me by email Also, share this message with anyone else who might be interested in participating in the discussion.
I appreciate any time that you can give to assist with making improvements to this feature. Cheers, SPoore (WMF) (talk) , Trust and Safety Specialist, Community health initiative (talk) 01:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Can you unprotect this article? Because a user added again the unsourced content and I tried to undo, but my request was denied because it was already sourced. 191.205.55.227 (talk) 17:33, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Turning articles into redirects
Hi! I came across this: yeah, the article was indeed in poor shape, but before turning an article in a redirect it's usually a good idea to check the talk page for notices of previous deletion discussions: in this case, that page, as a redirect, was already discussed at RfD and the outcome was to restore the article. That's probably a rare situation, but notices of previous prods or AfD are probably more common. – Uanfala (talk) 14:39, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Yama, re: the recent flurry of COI edits from the article's subject, I wonder if we should move the article from the mononym Sanjjanaa to Sanjjanaa Galrani since she's corrected this twice:[2][3] Thoughts? Do we know whether or not she's more commonly called one or the other? Think about it and let me know. No rush. Also, thanks for indeffing her. Her edits were absurd across the board: grammar, typography, COI, puffery, censorship, etc. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:30, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hello Cyphoidbomb, thank you for reaching me. The ask is a question I cannot give a conclusive answer to. Google search results between the full stage name and mononym are comparable, with leading results for Sanjjanaa referring to Sanjjanaa Galrani specifically. I hold no strong feelings on this either way, but would lean towards Sanjjanaa Galrani both for the sake of specificity and the apparent request of the subject.

My edit on Awdal and other Somaliland articles
@Yamaguchi:Hi Yamaguchi i want to know why i was blocked for editing Awdal and other Somaliland pages? All the pages I edited replaced "Somaliland" with Somalia since they are all de facto Somaliland places and controlled and governed by Somaliland NOT Somalia. Plus people that reverted back my edits are doing the exact same think which is reverting my edits and the Mustafa0 guy left threats on my talk after threating to undo all my edits which i believe arent his posts. If anything this should be considered as edit war and admins should make the right edits and protect the pages instead of blocking me and others that don't agree. Thanks (Samirstown (talk) 07:45, 20 October 2018 (UTC)).
@Yamaguchi: The reason why I reversed the edits is because Somaliland is not a recognised country. It is unrecognised hence the reversed edits. I would appreciate it if you could stop this user from his vandalism. He seems to be politically motivated. He removed and adds without citation. It is very obvious he is vandalising these pages. I will continue to reverse the edits if need be, my eidts are all citation based.
Thank you
