Hi ScottishFinnishRadish, thanks for answering a ton of edit requests, I did a few a long time ago and they seemed really really annoying, thank you for dealing with them, and keep it up :D

- Also, you talk page appears to be very consistently answered, thank you for doing so, there's a lot of editors doing these sorts of tasks who doesn't look at their talk pages. Justiyaya 08:24, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate it! It's a fairly low bandwidth task for me, at least clearing out the obvious denials and removing the vandalism/test edits. I try once a week or so, if I have the time, to take a deeper look at some of the aging requests and get them wrapped up too. In general it can be pretty annoying, and I generally ignore requests for updates on lists of oldest people and such that I have zero interest in, but it's a backlog I can help out on with my limited experience and I don't always have time to write absolutely amazing articles, like Shit flow diagram.

Moving pages
Hello, could you move page from List of All3Media programs to List of All3Media television programs please? 85.255.235.178 (talk) 15:42, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- I don't normally do page moves. I suggest you use WP:RM. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:40, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Sources on Franco article
I'm curious, what do you mean by providing a prose to be supported by the sources? -- 2804:248:f673:4f00:c957:a5ef:e88d:be8f (talk) 22:27, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
- A requested edit should provide the exact text with citations that you want added, rather than giving a list of sources and telling other editors to use them. This is even more important for possibly contentious changes. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:44, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
Edit Request
User:ScottishFinnishRadish You accepted my edit request on Talk:KSI, however my edit request was about re-addition of the word singer in the first line and infobox on KSI. It is yet to be re-added in the article after it was removed on 20th October without any edit summary. Also, like I requested in my edit request, can you update "...known as the Sidemen, which has a combined 106 million subscribers" to "...known as the Sidemen, which has a combined 123 million subscribers" on KSI along with this updated ref[1] which is a lot more recent as opposed to the BBC article which is currently added. Thank you. —2402:E280:2316:74:A942:A63A:6774:C4CC (talk) 07:48, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Why don't you answer the question? Ignoring me won't make it disappear. HoLeeFk (talk) 17:31, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Yom Kippur War
May I know your view of this war, is it an Israeli military victory, an Egyptian victory, or indecisive for both sides?--Ahmed88z (talk) 14:26, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- I have no view at all. I strongly don't care about it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- So why did you defend so desperately for victory that was an Israeli!! Are you an Israeli?--Ahmed88z (talk) 16:35, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- This is clearly not a productive discussion. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:37, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
KSI
I don't understand why you have reverted my edit. KSI is not best known for a singular thing. His audience is global and it is incorrect to assume he is 'best known' for co-founding the group known as the Sidemen. Futhermore, that statement even if true adds almost nothing to the quality of the article anyway and should be removed. --Thebighomie123 (talk) 16:17, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- The best known for information is sourced and expanded upon the article body. I suggest you discuss this on the article talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:35, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
I don't understand what needs to be discussed, I have never had to discuss my edits before and I don't plan on now. --Thebighomie123 (talk) 18:42, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- Communication and discussion is necessary on this project to achieve WP:CONCENSUS. That's why articles have talk pages. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:47, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
It is such a small edit I don't understand what would be gained from discussing it. You are the only one that has a problem with it. Also, did you even read the source? Everything I said is literally supported in the title.--Thebighomie123 (talk) 18:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- The source makes it clear that he is known for his YouTube career, and the rest is built off that. Again, please discuss on the talk page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:06, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
Okay, have it your way I won't even bother editing KSI article anymore. People like you who have been on the platform for longer than us new editors and have far more privileges always tend to abuse their powers so I am not even surprised. Have a good night and continue bullying us lower ranked editors who are trying to make a difference!Thebighomie123 (talk) 19:17, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
- All you have to do is get some support on the talk page and the problem is solved. That's how consensus works. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:18, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
Edit Warring
November 2021
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at KSI. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. --Thebighomie123 (talk) 19:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Extended-protected edit request – not done for now.
Hey, @ScottishFinnishRadish:. Thanks for responding to my edit request on the Crypto art talk page. Unfortunately, I'm not quite clear on how to reach a consensus before using the extended-protected template. I've brought the topic to the attention of various editors on the page by "pinging" them, but there seems to be a lack of interest, or willingness to engage with it. Perhaps this page is currently not at the top of everyone's to-do-list. I would argue that using the template, in this case, is the only way to establish a consensus. That said, I'd prefer if you reversed your denial of the request, as it might leave the possibility open for when someone finally decides to amend this page, as, quite frankly, it's in need of an overhaul (overall). DecentrallyConnected (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Anyone who views the page can still see the request, and if they believe the edit is worth making, they can still make it. The lack of anyone making the edit shows WP:SILENT consensus against the edit. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:58, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Your username
I've been misreading your username as ScottishFinnishRadio for months. To my great amusement I recently noticed you are actually a Radish instead, and I've had to mentally move your instantly recognizable name from "trusted user" to the much more select "weird name, but trusted user" category. Meters (talk) 21:29, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Heh, thanks. I appreciate that. The name came from an old college roommate who said that if I were an old-timey boxer that would be called the Scottish Finnish Radish, on account of my mixed heritage. He even made a nice drawing of it, that may still have in a box somewhere. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:34, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think user:Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars was the reason I had to create that mental classification for trusted users. Long, weird, and red... Meters (talk) 22:00, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- I had a redlinked user page, but you get a bit of judgeyness and negative responses because of that, so I found a nice radish on commons. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 15:20, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Started RSN on Skeptical Inquirer and other CFI Sources
Hi! On a recent ANI thread you discussed that Skeptical Inquirer should probably be discussed in an RSN thread in regards to BLPs. I just made a new thread here, and thought I'd let you know. I narrowed my proposal on just CFI-related BLPs rather than all BLPs as I thought that a more specific proposal would help prevent the type of WP:BATTLEGROUND and off-topic subthreads present in other discussions about skeptics. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 20:17, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- To be fair, it's probably a bad call for you to push this at this time. Also keep an eye on WP:CANVASSING. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- I thought you were a concerned editor and I've been told it's good practice to give them notices on their talk page. Regarding "pushing this", I kept reading editors saying the issue should be taken to RSN so I took that literally. Apologies if that was untimely. Thanks for the advice, in any case. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 21:11, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Only notifying a small number of users, especially if they're seen to be on "your side" will possibly be seen as canvassing. I suggest a neutral notification in the existing village pump discussion to let all involved editors know there is an active discussion elsewhere. As for the untimeliness, you risk making editors think you have an axe to grind, and that you haven't moved on after the ANI thread. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:28, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- I initially avoided notifying the VP discussion as I'd rather avoid the contentious character of that discussion spilling over to the RSN thread, but will do so on your suggestion. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 21:51, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hey for some reason I didn't receive a ping about this topic. Sgerbic (talk) 23:58, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- @A. C. Santacruz, told you so. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:14, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'm starting to feel really left out, like maybe you two don't like me or something. Sgerbic (talk) 00:18, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I was just pointing out that what they wer doing could be seen as canvassing, as I said above. Hopefully they made a neutral posting at the village pump thread. I didn't follow the village pump thread, we're you following it? ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:23, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I am reading it now. "could be seen as canvassing" How about IS canvassing, just call it for what it is. Sgerbic (talk) 00:28, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I don't know the full list of users they notified but I was hoping my caution would lead to appropriate notifications. Sorry if word didn't get to you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:32, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think you were the first and only one. I know you have the best interests of Wikipedia at heart. I'm trying to get though that Village Pump post that seems to go on forever. I've never heard of Brian Martin and the topic that started the conversation seems to be forgotten and now they are onto another subject. Sgerbic (talk) 00:42, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, I glanced at the thread, then realized that literally no one has time to catch up on that, and it takes someone with more focus than myself to try and follow and parse the individual sub threads that have developed over the past few weeks.
- I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. I'm certainly not pro-fringe, and I definitely see the benefit of work like yours. The only issue I have is with what I see as your conflict of interest editing. I don't find it to be a severe enough issue where I'm proactively pursuing anything. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:53, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Glad to hear it. I don't think I have a COI nor anyone on my team, except in the cases where they state their COI. Fringe is an odd animal, I'm all for having Wikipedia pages for fringe topics, if they are notable enough to have them, the issue is that mainstream science isn't producing RS on the topics as they are working on science stuff. So the group of people who are actually researching and writing about fringe is a small pool of people. When the topic is ghosts, then there is a limited group of people who you can use, same with UFO's and same with all the various fringe topics. If you were to look at our whole body of work instead of the small cherry-picked articles, you would find that we are all over Wikipedia writing about museums, zoos, arthritis, chemical compounds and tons of things. People of science who are long dead but deserve a little respect are some of my favorites. I'm very sorry that people are more likely to lash out than actually ask me. That attack I went though last week has me still looking over my shoulder and what do I find? I've seen your edits many many times, I usually agree and move on to other pages on my watchlist. Scotland is one of my favorite places in the world, and I always smile when I see your user name. Sgerbic (talk) 01:05, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'm actually not talking about the GSoW edits. I've mentioned before that trying to target an off wiki group won't work, so you just have to deal with issues as they arise on-wiki. Specifically my issue with your editing is when you cite a source you're affiliated with. I don't believe if you're a fellow of an organization and a columnist in their magazine that you should be inserting anything to do with that organization. That said, I don't have any issues with you personally, and I've certainly noticed and appreciated that you've never gone back and reverted any edits I've made to pages that you've edited. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:20, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I've never edited a Wikipedia page that I wrote for SI. I'm not paid, I'm just a fellow. I don't see a big deal in editing a Wikipedia page for ... let me look at my latest edits ... George Dillman or Dixie Haygood who are people I've never heard of before editing the page. So what I'm using Skeptical Inquirer magazine, I edit using all kinds of R/S, I just don't see the problem with that. It's not COI to edit a page I have no COI with. I suppose you see that differently I guess. If it is R/S then it is R/S, the edit should stand for itself, and if not then it should be improved or deleted. And I just finished that massive Village Pump article - I sorta zoned out when they started going on about string theory and climate change. Sgerbic (talk) 01:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, we just see the COI guidelines differently, which is fine. Disagreements don't have to mean animosity. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:36, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Neutral posting on the vp thread can be found in this diff. I didn't notify Sgerbic as she didn't partake in the VP thread (if I remember correctly) nor did she mention any RS issues/defences in the ANI thread (if I remember correctly). I limited my talk page mentions only to those users who had mentioned RSN in either thread per CTRL+F. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Talk 00:56, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I see you're mobile editing, have you tried using the desktop site on your device? I find it's much easier than trying to use the mobile interface. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:39, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

G11 of a blank page
You tagged a page for speedy deletion under G11 despite its contents only being __NOINDEX__
. Was that a mistake? Sdrqaz (talk) 21:49, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- The article name is just a URL, the person is currently on a vandalism spree related to cryptocurrency after getting auto-confirmed. I assumed they were attempting to spam that URL. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:51, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- Given that noindex is a command to not index a page, they are either doing a bad job of spamming or not spamming at all. I do not see how the page was eligible under G11 (it had zero text), and am disappointed that it has now been deleted with that reason by PhilKnight. While the page would have been deletable under A3, consensus has been that such pages should only be nominated ten minutes after creation (and sometimes even more), not 38 seconds after creation.

- To be honest, waiting 10 minutes to speedy an article created during a vandalism spree seems like needless bureaucracy. An admin seemed to find no issue with the category I chose, again, I assume, to avoid needles bureaucracy. Choosing the wrong, but still reasonably applicable, category for speedy deletion seems like a non issue in this circumstance. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:15, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- In the spirit of NOTBURO, I don't see the point in taking this to DRV, but creating a blank page is not vandalism. Nor do other bad edits make all your contributions invalid (unless it was in violation of a block, but even there there's disagreement). G11 was not

, and I hope you won't misuse CSD in this way again. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:34, 17 November 2021 (UTC)- On the one hand I see what you're saying, but in the other, I see an admin deleting the article for the reason I provided. I would better understand your objections if the page hasn't been deleted, the editor indeffed, and I had some history of misuse or issues with the CSD process. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:48, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Taking this to DRV would be an enormous overreaction to what amounts to what could conceivably be spam. The vandal was adding the NOINDEX tag (amongst others) to another article prior to creating the inappropriate page with the (likely) spam link as the title. This is really no big deal and seems like process wonkery when the G11 was feasible and the outcome, regardless of the exact nature of the CSD tag, would have been the same.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:51, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- As I stated, Ponyo, I don't see the point of taking it to DRV. But the fact that you're saying it's
"what amounts to what could conceivably be spam"
is worrying to me, given that G11 is supposed to be for "unambiguous" cases. SFR, I do not believe that the ends justify the means. It's not an attack page or copyright violation or vandalism; it's a blank page. There's absolutely no rush. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:12, 18 November 2021 (UTC)- There's no reason to keep detritus added in article space by a vandal either. You're ascribing bad faith to a number of users over the deletion of a spam link. I have a dinner to cook, so off I go!-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 00:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Don't know why you restored the prod, there are three citation, wouldn't it be better just to send it to AfD?? Govvy (talk) 12:50, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Mostly because I assumed it got removed in the sub-par editing, and the notice was still on the talk page. The sources are pretty slim to establish notability; someone threw a grenade at his house, a passing mention that he was detained, then a quick autobiographical blurb. Feel free to remove it, however. I have no objections. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:53, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- I reported the article at ANI earlier, after I looked at the log and because I thought it odd that the IPs were adding in the protect template log page on it, behaving like socks or something. Anyway, seems it got sorted now. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 13:05, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Looks like the third deletion in a week, so you were probably on to something. As you said, it's sorted now. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Revert
Hello ScottishFinishRadish, why this revert? Getting very confused now Lotje (talk) 10:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Lotje, using a mugshot as an image in an article of someone who is not known for committing crimes or being arrested is a violation of WP:MUGSHOT. Someone who is borderline notable as a lawyer shouldn't have a mugshot in their article.
Images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light. This is particularly important for police booking photographs (mugshots), or situations where the subject did not expect to be photographed.

Girth caste are not low caste
If Girth are low caste, then they are considered as SC, ST, but they are considered as OBC like Saini and Jaat. OBC considers economically weaker sections from minority communities. Girths are not low caste. Remove the false information about this caste. Mahesh Sharma wrote false information in their book. Link 3 and 4 information is not appropriate for users. Low caste consider as SC ST not in OBC. And OBC reservation is not permanent it depends on income. http://ncbc.nic.in › himachalPDF 1 CENTRAL LIST OF OBCs FOR THE STATE OF HIMACHAL ...

Sorry for the changes i have done in other pages. The changes we have made are correct from our end as we mentioned in those pages they are correct. We Don't have any Idea of how to give suggestions in other pages so please consider those corrections and we appeal the deletion process on our page.

Why reply? Just revert
Hi. Our noticeboards and some of our talk pages get spam and test edits. They're not legitimate questions so you don't need to answer them as you did here. There's no reason to have those test edits and our replies fill up the talk page history. Instead, you can just revert them as vandalism. In cases like that one, the username indicates that it's editing on behalf of a government entity, so they deserve not only a warning (like {{uw-chat2}}) but also a report to WP:UAA as I've just done. Thanks for watching these talk pages and feel free to eliminate the posts that aren't reasonable edits. We appreciate your help on this, as the spam never ends and you can help our countervandalism response. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:37, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Chris troutman, I normally remove anything that seems suspect, but that was a legitimate request, just misplaced. I will admit, however, that I didn't notice the username. If you check my contribs you'll see that I remove a significant amount of trash edit requests. Probably over a thousand at this point. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:41, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- I didn't notice that
"Ministry of Foreign Employment Promotion and Welfare to State Ministry of Foreign Employment Promotions and Market Diversification"
was meant to be a requested move, misplaced on WT:V; it read like gibberish to me and I assume bad faith. Thanks again for your help. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:45, 4 December 2021 (UTC)- No problem, easy mistake to make. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:48, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Hey ScottishFinnishRadish, to be fair the user did include the source in their suggestion for the article and it this one that I copied and pasted from their suggestion: [1] 2.220.32.133 (talk) 18:53, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- My mistake. I reopened the request, although I expect it still won't get done as genres are a thing on Wikipedia. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:08, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Aren't you able to just add it instead to the page? 2.220.32.133 (talk) 19:24, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- I'm on mobile right now, so I avoid editing large articles. Even if I were on desktop I probably wouldn't make that edit. A single source is likely not enough to satisfy WP:DUE for a band genre. And as I said above, genre is a thing, and I try not to get tired up in things. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:29, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

You were only declining my talk page request on purpose, all I wanted is to have just on small edit removed and all your doing is just trolling me. I’ve seen you do this all the time, let the admins respond to the talk page requests, not you, ok. I don’t mean to be rude to you, but can you please leave me alone so I can make talk page requests on peace. Because again, you do this all the time and it’s started to get to the point were it is getting really annoying. 73.61.16.131 (talk) 16:16, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Edit requests aren't for admins to make edits. They're for uncontroversial edits that have consensus. I did not think that your edit was an improvement, therefor there is no consensus to make the edit. Simple as that. Other talk page watchers can still see the request on the talk page, and can certainly make the edit if they believe it to be an improvement. You could also start a discussion on the talk page to attempt to get a consensus for that change. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
