:@XYZ 250706 you know how to request a draft. Creating it without attribution is disruptive. Given the concerns raised at ANI and at the AfD, I have partially blocked you from this article. You remain free to edit elsewhere, but if you continue to be disruptive you'll lose further access. Star Mississippi 14:20, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed |1=Your reason here XYZ 250706 (talk) 11:36, 31 January 2025 (UTC) I did not know about the rule stating that a draft cannot be created without attribution. I may have made mistakes during AfDs but I didn't vandalise the article and made any disruptive edits in the article. Therefore I am requesting to be unblocked. |decline = You know perfectly well that this was not the only concern. You know because you were told so here on this page and you deleted that comment. I have to assume this unblock request was therefore made in bad faith. Stay away from P. Shanmugam. Don't make another unblock request until you have a substantial history of '''trouble-free''' edits in unrelated subject areas. Yamla (talk) 11:39, 31 January 2025 (UTC)}}

Unblock

{{unblock reviewed|decline=Having reviewed this, I'm not convinced unblocking is a good idea. I'd echo what was said when your last unblock request was declined, I think {{tq| a substantial history of trouble-free edits in unrelated subject area}} would make your case more compelling. There are still nearly seven million pages you are not blocked from editing. Beeblebrox Beebletalks 22:30, 8 February 2025 (UTC)|1=The main concern of the partial block on the page P. Shanmugam (CPIM) ↗ was because of my creation of draft without attribution. Yes, I may have made mistakes during AfDs (bludgeoning), but I had (have) tried to rectify that. This block possibly also prevents me from using citation bot.}}

No, you were blocked because you were disruptive at the AfD and elsewhere. I told you I wouldn't give you the draft but another admin might and instead of following process, you end ran it. Nothing you have shown indicates you're ready to edit this article without even more disruption. I will not decline, but I do not recommend accepting. You can edit literally every other page of the project. Star Mississippi 21:41, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

:{{yo|Star Mississippi}} I'm trying to make sure I understand what went on here before accepting or declining this. I can see the bludgeoning at the AFD easily enough, what with all the unnecessary bolding, I take it that this user asked you to restore it as a draft, you declined to do so because you didn't trust them to handle it responsibly, and they recreated it by apparently copy-pasting a cached version of it from somewhere? Is that about right? Beeblebrox Beebletalks 22:02, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
::Correct @Beeblebrox.
::Note I will try not to bludgeon ↗ and here's the ANI ↗. They do not appear to respect consensus or listen to feedback. The draft is now back in mainspace thanks to the work of two other editors and I don't think XYZ editing it will be productive. As with the draft should they have gone to Refund, I have no objection should you choose to unblock. Star Mississippi 22:19, 8 February 2025 (UTC)
:::@Star Mississippi I also don't think I have to edit the page as per the current condition of the page. But I also cannot use citation bot as it blocks me from using it to other pages. XYZ 250706 (talk) 02:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
::::I'm pinging @Smith609 as the maintainer for their insight here. Star Mississippi 02:50, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::actually, they appear inactive. @AManWithNoPlan, @Folly Mox might you have any insight here? The user is p-blocked from one page and says they cannot use Citation bot. Star Mississippi 02:55, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
::::::{{Rtp}} It could be that OAuth ↗ is – just like with TWL – unable or unwilling to differentiate between a partial block and a full block. XYZ 250706, can you use the Citation expander ↗ gadget? Documentation indicates that method of invoking Citation bot does not require OAuth authentication. AManWithNoPlan is likely to have better information. I've never actually dipped my toes into the Citation bot codebase.{{pb}}Everyone please double check all citation scripts for accuracy and completeness. Folly Mox (talk) 15:21, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@Folly Mox I cannot find the tool in the right side. I can find some other tools like page information, what links here. But I cannot find any option like expand citations [I can find shortening URLs, is that the same thing?]. XYZ 250706 (talk) 03:16, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
::::::::Apparently unrelated per below, but have you {{xt|enable[d] the '''Citation expander''' gadget in the gadgets tab of your preferences panel ↗}} per the instructions ↗? It's not enabled by default (and different to Special:URLShortener ↗) Folly Mox (talk) 12:19, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

XYZ 250706, why do you need to use the citationbot (whatever that is)? Why can you not just complete citation templates manually like I do?

My impression is that bot editing tools often (but not always) make errors completing citation templates, for example: <code><nowiki>|last1=info medias |first1=the</nowiki></code> when it should have said <code><nowiki>||last1=Sharma |first1=Deepak</nowiki></code>.correction made here. ↗ You do not need citationbot; you will probably become a better Wikipedia editor if you never know it exists.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:56, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

:Citation bot saves a lot of time. If there is any error, I can change it manually. XYZ 250706 (talk) 10:18, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
:: Partial blocks will now be ignored by the bot. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 01:51, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
:::@AManWithNoPlan Yes, partial blocks are now ignored by citation bot. But it is not working now. I tried Next Bangladeshi general election ↗. But on the top it shows Processing page 'Next Bangladeshi general election' — edit—history and I can see that no change has been taken place. XYZ 250706 (talk) 03:11, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
::::That is in no way related to the p-block; it’s an issue with citation bot. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 03:27, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
::::: That issue with those urls and the page are now fixed. AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:09, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::: One more thing, reFill does some urls that the bot does not. It also will merge duplicate references into things like <nowiki><ref name=auto/></nowiki>, which is aweseome. BUT, it sometimes completely hoses that job up and deletes refs. Also, it is less picky about data quality and sometimes will add titles such as "Girls girls girls!!!" to hyjacked domains. Lastly, it "updates" URLS which is often really good, but sometimes horrible. So, double-check all edits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ReFill AManWithNoPlan (talk) 14:36, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Regarding our edit disputes

I really appreciate you trying to engage in discussions as you have been. I believe we should finally settle the disputes we have, so we can get it over with. I was also somewhat at fault for overreacting to the whole situation, such as when I opened the discussion against you at ANI and I am sorry. We both made mistakes. I am going to open official dispute resolution between us for the history section of the Politburo and the inclusion of far-left on the Infobox of CPIM. I hope we can settle this cordially and on good terms. Cheers. '''EarthDude''' (''wanna'' ''talk?'') 04:27, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Regarding Article Next Indian general election

Hey, XYZ 250706.

You stated "''National parties were added before 2024 elections too to stop edit warring." but inclusion of AAP and CPI in the infobox of "Next Indian general election" was done by you on 17th September 2025; and in the article "2024 Indian general election" these parties are not even mentioned in the infobox. Can you state which discussion are you talking about that does take effect on this article but not on that article.''

Moreover there are 6 national parties in India recognized by the ECI; by your logic we should include all of them here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! TricanaQ (talk) 05:16, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

:@TricanaQ I told before 2024 election, all six national parties were added. I included all of them at first and one editor told that BSP and NPP should be removed as they have no seat. XYZ 250706 (talk) 05:17, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
::@XYZ 250706 This page had only one edit before "2024 elections" and in that only BJP and Congress was mentioned in the infobox; in the recent edits of this page by you, lots of parties were mentioned in the infobox but not AAP and CPI till ''17th September 2025,'' and the criteria set by you seems to be a little flawed given you are including national parties with 3 or 4 seats in the last election but not including parties that are state parties in multiple states with double digit seats but whatever, it should have been first discussed on the talk page before coming to this decision this should be the criteria we use.
::Also, It's also a bit inconsistent that in the article "2024 Indian general election"; AAP and CPI were never part of the infobox; neither before or after the elections. So, your statement "before 2024 election, all six national parties were added" is contradictory for both the articles.
::My opinion is that we should remove AAP and CPI from the infobox till a consensus is reached on the talk page of the article. TricanaQ (talk) 06:04, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
:::@TricanaQ Please see edit history properly. I am not telling lie. Before 2024 election, all six national parties were added for considerable period in 2024 Indian general election ↗ article.
:::Besides those parties are considered major by the conducting body and hence they are given streaming in government media and many other benefits.
:::If you want, you can add all six national parties. There are many times edit warring regarding infobox and hence all six national parties (then BSP and NPP had seats) were added. XYZ 250706 (talk) 06:43, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Needs a citation

You made this edit on 21 September 2025 ↗ to the article on the :Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ↗. Please can you add two citations that explicitly support "far-right" next to the term. (Please do not put them at the end of the sentence.)

There are two citations that support "Hindutva" next to that word - they ''only'' support Hindutva.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:29, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

:@Toddy1 I have added one citation regarding Hindutva as a variant of right wing extremism. I have citations like Hindutva being inspired from far-right ideologies like Fascism and Zionism. Should I add them? XYZ 250706 (talk) 13:17, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
::Sorry XYZ 250706, your edits explicitly violate RfC/enwiki procedure and are unacceptable. The current WP:LEDE ↗ of the article was had through multiple WP:CONSENSUS ↗ building discussions involving a multitude of editors and any editor cannot unilaterally overturn that consensus. A proper procedure is RfC, which was done and failed to get any traction. You then alone cannot do away with the results of the RfC which resulted in no consensus for a change for the proposal.
::Please do not try and edit war over this, as a procedural violation I will take such edit warring to ANI or other admins for attention. Gotitbro (talk) 13:47, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
:::@Gotitbro Hey. I am not edit warring. I added far right with citations as told by Toddy1. XYZ 250706 (talk) 14:49, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
::::Toddy was generally advicing you in good faith on how enwiki edits usually follow. But before your latest edits, you were clearly told on the Talk page that your edits are against consensus and against the recent RfC for the same thing, you already have an explicit comment in the article telling you to "Per WP:CONSENSUS ↗, seek a change for the lead sentence through discussion on the Talk page."
::::And since the recent RfC failed to result in any affirmation for the proposal, you shouldn't have made the edits against CONSENSUS. Basic procedural violations should never be made, you did that twice and that is disruptive ↗ edit warring, please refrain from any further edits regarding the lede which don't have prior consensus. Gotitbro (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

If you have sources that explicitly say that Hindutva is a far-right ideology, and the article already has sources that support the statement that RSS is Hindutva, you cannot combine them to say that RSS is far right. See :WP:SYNTH ↗, which says "Do not combine material from multiple sources to state or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:14, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

If you have sources that say that Hindutva was inspired by far-right ideologies, that does not necessarily support that Hindutva is a far-right ideology. If you doubt this:

The existence of crime inspired societies to create police forces.

The Bolshevik take-over of Russia, inspired the creation of far-right movements in the rest of Europe in the 1920s.

The British use of concentration camps in the Second Boer War ↗ in 1900-03, inspired the Nazis to create their own concentration camps in entirely different circumstances in Germany in the 1930s.

2025 Bihar election

Hi @XYZ 250706. I have reverted your recent edit wherein you have removed the INC candidate from the Bachhwara Assembly constituency. For now, the candidate remains a Congress/MGB candidate. However, when the candidate withdraws or INC takes away their symbol from the candidate making them an Independent candidate, then the candidate's name can be removed from MGB candidates list. Dhruv edits (talk) 05:31, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

:@Dhruv edits There has been a misunderstanding. CPI candidate is the candidate supported by MGB. So we should add CPI only. A side note can be added to mention that INC has fielded candidate against CPI outside MGB. XYZ 250706 (talk) 09:28, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::@XYZ 250706 Is there any source for this? INC wouldn't give their symbol unless they want the candidate to contest as MGB candidate. Dhruv edits (talk) 09:48, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
:::@Dhruv edits Congress have fielded candidates against RJD also. So your statement saying "INC wouldn't give their symbol unless they want the candidate to contest as MGB candidate" is totally untrue. Poster posted by CPI says their candidate is supported by MGB (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1MaDdH51TM/). Besides RJD and CPIM workers are actively working for CPI candidate. You can see various social media posts. XYZ 250706 (talk) 17:30, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::::Congress is having friendly contests with both RJD and CPI. Nothing to support that Congress candidates are not part of MGB, but RJD and CPI candidates are MBG candidates. Even VIP is contesting against RJD on one Constituency and both candidates are shown. Whenever 2 alliance parties contest on the same seats, both candidates are shown, as evident in previous Indian election articles. Dhruv edits (talk) 17:37, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::@XYZ 250706 Actions of campaign staff and supporters is irrelevant. Also, as per this report ↗, CPI should be contesting in 6 seats in MGB alliance, however they are contesting 9 seats. So we aren't removing CPI candidates as well. Dhruv edits (talk) 17:43, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
::::::@Dhruv edits CPI has only 6 candidates supported by the alliance. Keep those only and for each candidate of the alliance-member party outside alliance, we should add a side note. Congress candidate in Bachhwara is not MGB supported. If it was supported by MGB, then the number of MGB supported CPI candidates would have been five. XYZ 250706 (talk) 04:33, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
:::::::@XYZ 250706. I understand your point; but the issue is that there is no source telling us that our of the 4 seats where it is Congress vs CPI, which 3 have Congress as MGB candidate and which 1 seat has CPI as MGB candidate. Further, the report which I shared with you doesn't include IIP in the calculation (55 Cong + 30 Left + 15 VIP), which makes the numbers in that report incorrect. Unilaterally deciding which candidate is the true MGB candidate in these seats without proper sources to back it up will amount to Original Research ↗, so it cannot be done.

::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Read the election article structure for India.

Them being – Bharatiya Janata Party ↗, Indian National Congress ↗ and Aam Aadmi Party ↗ and all of those parties have won at least one seat to be considered a '''Major Political Party''' in the election.
:::::::::So your point being? Where in all of these articles there is a party being added in the infobox of an election despite without having any representation? Where is your logical argument for adding Communist Party of India (Marxist) ↗ and Indian National Congress ↗ in the election infoboxes of 2021 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election ↗ and 2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election ↗ articles? Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 16:05, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
::::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 CPIM and INC were major contenders for '''2021''' elections. Wikipedia's rule states that the major contenders should not be removed from infobox after the results are declared even if they get 0 seats, because they "were" the major contenders "during" the election. Hence, CPIM and INC should be added to 2021 infobox. XYZ 250706 (talk) 16:20, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
:::::::::::And who exactly designated them as '''"Major Contenders"''' in the election? Because the public didn't, judging by their election results. And how do you define this vague catagory?

:::::::::::::First of all election infoboxes include political parties, not alliances. Secondly the catagory of the '''Major Contender''' in any election is very broadly defined. No party can claim to be a '''Major Contender''' in a election despite having no actual representation. Thirdly by your own logic Communist Party of India (Marxist) ↗ shouldn't be included in the inbox of 2026 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election ↗<nowiki/>as it currently doesn't have any representation in the legislative assembly. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 04:13, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
::I suggest you to raise this issue in the talk page of the article. Discuss with other editors, get consensus if possible through voting. This is a controversial topic and we two alone shouldn't be able to decide the whole perspective. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 04:16, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Final thoughts

@Kalpesh Manna 2002 'Major contender' for any election is determined before the election and not after. It is based on the last election performance, extensive coverage in reliable media leading up to the election, opinion polls etc. Even if a party that was a major contender for election ends up with zero seats, it still was a major contender for that election. As a usual practice, we do not remove a major contender from infobox/ candidates section etc even if their performance was poor unless in some extreme case a small party/junior alliance member was added by mistake to the infobox. For eg - In 2015 Delhi elections, Congress was clearly a major party based on last election and coverage in reliable media sources, but ended up with 0 seats. For 2021 WB election, I agree with @XYZ 250706 that CPIM having significant seats and vote share in previous election and being extensively covered in reliable media sources for that election, were clearly a major contender for the election despite ending up with 0 seats. Similarly, it was considered a major contender in 2019 LS elections in WB. However, in my understanding of guidelines of MOS:INDELECT ↗ as explained above, CPIM was not a major contender for 2024 LS elections and is not for 2026 WB election based on media coverage as of today.

:::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Btw if you want to tell about Darjeeling Assembly, it's not my point of view. Check other similar cases in Wikipedia.
:::What you are doing is not collaborative at all. Atleast check edits properly or check the explanations. XYZ 250706 (talk) 08:17, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::Those articles will be changed also. Those sections in Wikipedia lists political parties, not political alliances. Doing so will create double standards for the listed candidates. Some listed with their partie affliction, while some with their alliance affliction. Which is not acceptable. And in future will create further frictions when multiple alliance candidates will contest simultaneously against each other. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 08:50, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Nobody is claiming SDPI is part of ISF. But they're contesting in the same election with same electoral symbol while also being alliance partners simultaneously, therefore should be listed togather. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 08:52, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Yes, they are listed in same symbol in my version too. But as per ECI, the candidate of Sagardighi is shown as SDPI only (not ISF) and hence they together should not be shown as 31 (it will be shown 30 or 29 as nomination of ISF candidate of Samserganj has been rejected) unlike in case of CPIM, MFB and RCPI are together shown as CPIM candidates by ECI as CPIM has reserved symbol.
::::That's another matter if you think adding independents labelled in the name of alliance is problematic. Don't blame me for those articles. XYZ 250706 (talk) 09:00, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::Exactly what I was saying. Party candidates should be updated as per rejection of their affidavits. Even in the case of MRB or RCPI nobody is claiming that they're part of CPIM. Adding them together is just a visual choice not a political one. All the parties are technically separate, nobody is doubting that. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 10:25, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 You are not probably getting my point. ECI is showing MFB and RCPI candidates as CPIM candidates as CPIM's symbol is reserved nationally. But ECI is not showing SDPI candidate as ISF candidate. So their symbol can be added together. But adding them together as 31 is not correct. You can check my version of that section carefully to have better clarification of my point. XYZ 250706 (talk) 10:48, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::ECI is showing the candidates of MFB and RCPI as CPI(M), correct? But Wikipedia is not. Instead we choose to show the candidates of those 2 parties as separate but fighting under same electoral symbol. If you go by the ECI logic then those parties shouldn't be included in the table at all. Because officially they're not even contesting. My proposal is that we should display all the parties regardless of which symbol they're contesting under. It is simple and easy. Just an extra column to show the candidates which are contesting on the same symbol while also displaying all the parties seperately unlike Election Commission of India. I think it is a good compromise. What's your opinion? Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 13:16, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Ahh... You are still not getting my point. Please check two tables below and notice the difference between them. I am opining for that change for specific reason. XYZ 250706 (talk) 14:16, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Or if you have different proposal, please add your table here. XYZ 250706 (talk) 14:27, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::My version of the table is already added. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 15:33, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Now check my version of the table. I am telling that as number of CPIM's candidate is calculated as 197; same shouldn't be done for ISF as ECI doesn't do so and ISF doesn't have any reserved symbol so that SDPI candidate for contesting in envelope symbol will appear as ISF candidate. That's why I removed 31. I don't know whether I am able to clarify my point. XYZ 250706 (talk) 16:19, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::No I understand what you're saying. See number of CPI(M) candidates are not calculated as 197, it is still 195 as per table. The last column indicates the number of parties fighting under the same symbol not the number of the party candidates itself. Which is listed in the column before that. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 17:07, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 For CPI(M), it will be correct as it is reserved symbol. But for ISF, it will not be correct as it's itself an unrecognised party and lacks a fixed symbol. Actually the method is done for adding minor parties (which are contesting on symbol of a major party) together with that major party. Otherwise, for example, SUCI is contesting in 230 seats and in other 64 seats, there can be candidates who are contesting on torch symbol too, we are not adding them together. SUCI itself is contesting in different symbols in different constituencies of Tamil Nadu (although they are not added in Wikipedia). XYZ 250706 (talk) 17:38, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 Total number of CPI(M) candidates will be calculated as 197 and in Wikipedia, that format of table is used in that sense only. XYZ 250706 (talk) 17:43, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::By that logic MFB and RCPI has to be removed from the Wikipedia table. Because they're not fighting in the election officially according to the Election Commission of India. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 05:02, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 In case of Tamil Nadu elections also, the all total calculation was done to indicate total number of DMK candidates as per ECI even as the minor parties are added. I am telling that the number 31 should be removed. XYZ 250706 (talk) 10:03, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::And we have already added 197 as total CPIM candidates in the table. XYZ 250706 (talk) 10:24, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::ISF and SDPI is counted togather in any version of the election table. The table clearly shows 30 and 1 numbers for number of seats contested by them. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 11:50, 20 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::@Kalpesh Manna 2002 They are contesting on same symbol. But together they shouldn't be counted as 31 as total number of ISF candidates is not 31. I am objecting to that part only (I mean just remove 31) for a totally valid, technical and logical reason. For example, in 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election ↗, a total of 176 candidates are added to DMK even as its actual number of candidates is 164 and some minor parties are contesting on its symbol and hence officially (as per ECI), its number of candidates is 176. But the case is not same for ISF. XYZ 250706 (talk) 14:12, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on :Uttarakhand Parivartan Party ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Placeholder images

In your edit summary here ↗, you asked "Why were they removed". Presuming you were referring to placeholder images, they were removed for the reason stipulated in the inline comment you removed in your edit that said "Do not use placeholder images per WP:IPH".

Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 22:27, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

:@Hammersoft No. I meant many parties were removed and the sectioning was removed. XYZ 250706 (talk) 02:51, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
