No need to sign WikiProject banners

Hi CharlieMehta. There is no need to sign an edit that places WikiProject banners or other similar administrative templates on a talk page, like you did on Draft talk:ABG Shipyard loan fraud. WikiProject banners and other similar administrative templates at the top of a talk page are not "posts" that require a time-stamped signature as they do not get replied to. See WP:SIGNHERE for guidance about when to sign, and not sign, additions to talk pages. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 10:07, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

@Cameron Dewe Thank you for helping me with it. Charlie (talk) 10:22, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

2026 Western Iraq mid-air collision moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to 2026 Western Iraq mid-air collision. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and more sources that confirm that it was a mid-air collision. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 16:21, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

That’s absolutely fine. I had also been wondering how the page ended up being edited after it was launched. I originally created it as ‘2026 USAF KC-135 Iraq Crash,’ but the title was later changed by another editor. I didn’t object at the time, and I won’t object now either. You made a reasonable decision, and you have my support. Charlie (talk) 16:32, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Just submitted it for a review. Charlie (talk) 16:34, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: 2026 Western Iraq mid-air collision (March 14)

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Pbritti, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the event meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for events. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the event in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
• show lasting significance: analysis published after the initial breaking news has passed, showing historical impact;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the event, such as press releases, the event or organizers own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all four of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Looking at this crash in relation to the ongoing 2026 Iran war and coverage made within the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, I'm disinclined to consider this sufficiently notable as an independent subject at the moment. If we find that coverage of this event is sustained over the coming months—possibly as the result of an an potentially impactful investigation or due to new details being released—then we can reconsider promoting this as a standalone article. Until then, continue adding mentions of the event to relevant articles.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:2026 Western Iraq mid-air collision to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

Hello, CharlieMehta! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Pbritti (talk) 22:17, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi CharlieMehta. Thank you for your work on Hezekiah Moscow. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Nice start!

Thank you and much appreciated. Will keep improving the article. Charlie (talk) 07:46, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Mission Ruins of Venn's Town when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 13:52, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

@Zackmann08 Thank you for helping me with it and much appreciated. Will definitely remember your suggestion. Thanks again! Charlie (talk) 14:07, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

KL University

what is you problem? Stop falsely accusing and abusing fellow editors without proof. I dont understand from where you poped up suddenly. I felt abused by u. I am not directly or indirectly compensated by any university on wikipedia or any university on planet Earth and planet Mars. If you are doing this to abuse and threaten fellow editors on the planet earth, Kindly stop wasting other editors time. Thanks.Univofbegumpet (talk) 15:34, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing a page's content back to how you believe it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree with your changes. Please stop editing the page and use the talk page to work toward creating a version of the page that represents consensus among the editors involved. Wikipedia provides a page explaining how this is accomplished. If discussions reach an impasse, you can request help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution such as a third opinion. In some cases, you may wish to request page protection while a discussion to resolve the dispute is ongoing.

If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, or whether it involves the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also, please keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule— if things indicate that you intend to continue reverting content on the page. Univofbegumpet (talk) 13:48, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

@Univofbegumpet Thank you for your message. My edits were made in good faith to improve accuracy and neutrality, not to engage in edit warring. If you still have concerns, please feel free to report it. I am confident it will be reviewed fairly. For the time being, please refrain from editing KL University’s page until you explain why you are so keen to remove information stating that the university has been barred from NAAC accreditation for 5 years. Charlie (talk) 09:12, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

For your info, I have restored all details of NAAC Ban. If it is barred from NAAC keep it in the article, I dont have any problem with it. Why are you removing content contributed by me? without mentioning it in edit summaries? Furthermore, if you abuse me again on paid promotions I will complain. Pls explain ur issues in edit summaries, this falls under edit conflict on content not paid promotion. There is no paid promotion here, I am no way connected to any university. Univofbegumpet (talk) 09:43, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

@Univofbegumpet Please avoid presenting the edits in a way that may come across as overly assertive. I was the one who re-added the NAAC bribery case to the lead section after it had been removed multiple times earlier by you. It now seems to have been rearranged again (by you), along with the addition of the NIRF ranking, and also you are trying to present everything as your own edit in this conversation. It would be best if you refrain from editing the KL University page for the time being. If you have any queries, please respond on the KL University talk page as requested earlier.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Memorial Centre for Culture when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters.
