User talk:Macrobreed2/2024/November

I see that at Talk:Dhirendra Krishna Shastri you have posted to old messages from over a year ago. Occasionally that may be useful, but in well over 90% of cases it serves no useful purpose, and can even be harmful. The likelihood of whoever posted the original message coming back and reading your response is virtually nill, and it can have disadvantages, such as causing numerous editors to waste time checking watchlist notifications. (That page is on 18 editors' watchlists, some pages are on thousands.) I suggest, therefore, that it is almost always better not to post responses to such old messages. Also, if you do decide to respond to one, it's unlikely to be helpful to ping or mention other editors, so that they spend time following up notifications of edits that are no longer relevant to anything.

Hi @JBW. I replied to old requests at Talk:Dhirendra Krishna Shastri in good faith as I wanted to make it easier for future Talk page viewers if they had a similar request. However, I now understand that responding to older messages may have more disadvantages than advantages, especially given the potential impact on watchlist notifications. I appreciate your input, and I’ll be more mindful of this in the future. Thank you for taking the time to guide me and coming to my talk page, I really appreciate it.

First of all, I never doubted for a moment that you were acting in good faith; of course you were. I do agree that sometimes responding to old messages can have the kind of benefit that you mention, but my experience suggests that in practice it very rarely does; on some talk pages almost exactly the same request has been posted numerous times, in ways that indicate that new editors don't usually see what all the old posts say. (And I don't find that surprising: do you usually read all the old posts from years ago on a talk page before posting a new message?) Anyway, it's obviously a matter for personal judgement in each case whether likely benefits outweigh likely drawbacks, but, as I've explained, my impression is that in far more cases than not the answer is "no". JBW (talk) 14:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the further clarification, @JBW. I understand your perspective and agree with you on this. I also appreciate that you shared your valuable experience on this. I’ll certainly keep this in mind going forward. Thanks again for your guidance! Macrobreed2 (talk) 14:35, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to have email enabled on your old account, which should mean that you can get a password reset email. Since you have now been using this account for well over a year, you very likely will prefer to just carry on with this one, but I thought I'd mention it, just in case you would like to recover the old one, and also for future reference if you ever lose your password again. JBW (talk) 19:11, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW, thank you for reminding me, I'll try this. Macrobreed2 (talk) 12:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

India's Got Latent, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Hi, congratulations on getting your article accepted! The acceptance was based on a review of your submission and an analysis of its adherence to Wikipedia’s notability criteria. However, I’d like to offer a few suggestions to enhance the format and tone of the article. Please consider removing any details that lack citations, or add reliable sources to support them. Additionally, some of the subheadings could be combined for better flow, as I noticed that certain sub-sections aren’t necessary. For example, the "History" section is brief and could easily be merged with the article's introduction. Thank you for your valuable contributions, and have a great day!--— MimsMENTOR ^talk 19:06, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mims Mentor, thank you, I would surely work on the changes that you have suggested, also the article is in stub stage (as you have marked) and there is enough relevant and verifiable information that can be added, such as the earnings section which I created but then forgot to work on. I'll make the suggested changes within few days and improve it. Thanks again for taking the time to come to my talk page. Macrobreed2 (talk) 12:42, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:YIT Jaipur logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:YIT Jaipur 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. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:41, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note - I initially uploaded the File:YIT Jaipur logo.png and have now marked it for deletion myself as I had uploaded an SVG version at File:YIT Jaipur logo.svg (since it was available on website).

Also, this logo does not met the threshold for copyright and thus, the copyright status was updated from fair-use to public domain and now, the SVG image has been successfully moved to Wikimedia commons. Macrobreed2 (talk) 12:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheBirdsShedTears, thank you for taking the time to review this draft and providing the valuable input. Now that I know about the money laundering controversy, I would definitely include it to and make it more balanced. I would also try to incorporate more neutral view and remove the peacock terms.
