Rollback granted

Hi Pachu Kannan. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 11:28, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Sengol

I have read the Wire article and saw the photo you refer to. However India today article also includes a photo of the sengol with the walking stick description. So I am not sure why the Wire article should be assumed correct and the India article incorrect. Jagmanst (talk) 02:56, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Sengol in Malayalam?

@Pachu Kannan your user profile indicates you may be knowing Malayalam language. Recently I have been working on User:Bookku/Indian sceptre. I am looking for some information help regarding Malayalam sources.

1) How do you write word Sengol in Malayalam script ?

2) Is there any separate word for Sengol or sceptre in Malayalam language ? or word Sengol or some other Sanskrit word is used in Malayalam?

3) If Malayalam language uses separate word then how that would be written in English / Roman script

4) Are there any pre-2023 (before ongoing controversy began) reliable sources in Malayalam language in google scholar or google books ? If available I would request your assistance in expanding my user-space draft User:Bookku/Indian sceptre.

Thanks Bookku (talk) 09:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Ekdalian (talk) 18:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Israeli civilian fatalities

Since you are invested tracking and updating the casualties from the Israel-Gaza conflict, your input on this discussion here would be appreciated. The issue of the IDF reservist, who is counted as a military fatality by Israel, has been resolved. The issue remains in regards to AFP's toll of civilian victims of October 7th. AFP has previously said their reporting of the toll of October 7th includes civilian hostages who were taken to Gaza, but since confirmed dead. Since we had already included in the infobox hostage deaths separately, I downsized the AFP toll to remove hostages whose bodies were subsequently recovered from Gaza, so there won't be doublecounting. An editor has objected to this, requesting we list in the infobox the full civilian toll reported by AFP (which includes hostage deaths). I have stated that I have no objection to this, but that then we would need to remove the separately listed civilian hostage figure because it would be doublecounting since they are included in the AFP toll as well. We can add in brackets beside the death toll of October 7th how many of those were hostages. But doublecounting should be avoided. Like I said, your input would be appreciated. EkoGraf (talk) 15:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Help

Hello in the article,Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha, in the controversy section ,there appears to be an edit war with the user അദ്വൈതൻ. The said user seems to present the article targetting the Muslim community in a bad light.So I had changed the tone without changing the meaning to present it in a more neutral point of view.Also he is not allowing me to complete the story.After the incident have happened,the Muslim community have apologized for the incident.Also State SFI president have clarified they are not involved in the protests.He is not allowing me to put both these sentences in the article.They are credible sources that I have added for the both these sources.The said used അദ്വൈതൻ have repeatedly warned of edit wars in the past and have been blocked.Could you please see the section yourself? If I am at fault you can correct me.I am still new to this and I totally understand it I can make mistakes.Tmanthara (talk) Tmanthara (talk) 19:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

I reported it to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection today morning. Pachu Kannan (talk) 13:59, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

But it’s protected with his edit on it.And he haven’t replied on talk page so that editors can reach a consensus. Tmanthara (talk) 14:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for suggesting that essay to me. Pachu Kannan (talk) 14:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I think that you should reach consensus with അദ്വൈതൻ in this one week time and then make a edit request to administrators. I pinged that user in this reply. Pachu Kannan (talk) 15:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Other option is editing after one week. Pachu Kannan (talk) 15:25, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Consecutive refs

Hello! I appreciate your contributions to Israel-Hamas War and Israel-Hezbollah conflict so I'd like to give you a tip to avoid future problems in editing. One is that there is no need to put the same ref consecutively at the end of every sentence within a paragraph unless it is bundled with another ref. The second is that some of your edits were flagged for WP:RECENTISM. Some editors may have explained to you that this is because the articles are not day-to-day reportage of the war. But you may find these edits useful in the timeline articles on these conflicts. Borgenland (talk) 13:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your useful tips. I myself removed at least some of the content added by me per WP:RECENTISM from Israel-Hamas War that I think violate this policy. Pachu Kannan (talk) 13:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Israeli civilian deaths

I have found a source, a regularly updated OCHA chart, of both Israeli and Palestinian casualties, including civilians specifically. It is currently updated to July 8th. I have researched their chart and found that it includes all of the Palestinian-related Israeli deaths (11 to be specific) in the West Bank and Israel during the conflict, except three - the 1 civilian mistakenly killed by Israeli forces (chart says it includes only fatalities caused by Palestinian militants) and 2 civilians shot and killed by Palestinians in January near Ofra (don't know why they are not included). I have added the chart as a source for the 11 (noting in the reference the filter that needs to be applied in the chart) and also noted that the three civilians are not included in the chart, bringing the total to 14 killed for the period. Periodically we should look up the chart if its been updated, and update the figure, so the list note doesn't get too unnecessarily big again. I also wanted to thank you for all your hard work on updating all of the figures in the infobox! :) Happy edditing! EkoGraf (talk) 17:00, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Maybe there should be a "West Bank" section on the Israeli side of the casualties in the {{Israel–Hamas war infobox}}, to mirror the regional breakdown for Palestinian casualties? (tag me if you reply, please) FourPi (talk) 07:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

FourPi Most of the international community consider the territory part of Palestine occupied by Israel, though this is disputed by Israel. So I think that it is better to include it on the Palestinian side of casualties. Pachu Kannan (talk) 08:28, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

2024 Wayanad Landslides

Posting here since any talk page discussions on the article are closed immediately and it's not exactly conducive to a rational and thoughtful discussion across multiple users. Hoping you can help me understand as you did previously. The current death count of 442 feels like WP:SYNTH to me. I reviewed the central govt report that you and another user discussed, and it says 231 dead bodies and 211 body parts. We are arriving at our own conclusions by adding the two together to arrive at a death count. This is definitely WP:SYNTH to me, but maybe you can explain the rationale. Again posting here as a genuine question because any activity on the article itself is nearly impossible without being completely shut down/reverted/discussion closed Schwinnspeed (talk) 15:24, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Many reliable sources also mentioned that over 400 people died using the same rationale. For example, please read https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/wayanad-landslides-death-toll-crosses-400-mark-over-150-still-missing-124080700592_1.html. You can find other sources using a simple Google Search. Pachu Kannan (talk) 15:49, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

We should wait at least until all DNA test results come out for exact death toll. Pachu Kannan (talk) 15:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

It was also the same rationale used by Health Minister of Kerala Veena George. Please read https://thewire.in/environment/nightmare-in-wayanad-torrential-rains-triggered-landslides-but-climate-change-may-not-be-the-sole-culprit. But still it may be an original research as exact death toll mentioned in that article is not explicitly mentioned in the reliable sources. Pachu Kannan (talk) 16:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

I agree multiple sources say over 400 people have died. but the sources themselves keep it general and don't state a specific number like 442. And they don't reference the calculation. Whereas the WP article specifically says 442, and then there is a note on the bottom that shows the calculation. I'm agreeing with your point around the DNA test results - my concern is we are stating very specific numbers that is an inference and considered WP:SYNTH. Wouldn't it be better to just say 'over 400' and link the references above? Schwinnspeed (talk) 17:26, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi. We were editing Template:Israel–Hamas war infobox at the same time and I thought I accidentally reverted your edit when I saved mine.

Notable people

"Notable people" sections are inappropriate for an encyclopedia because they are completely opinionated, subjective, and uncritical, and are suitable for women's teen magazines rather than anything serious.2804:F04:906B:5A00:63D0:D2D0:69C4:1FDC (talk) 16:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

War Israel vs Libano

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that 105 people died and another 359 were injured in the attacks, this is typical of a war and not a conflict.

Timeline of the Israel–Hamas war (27 September 2024 – present)

May I ask what your rationale is for adding an event under each day? Because it just looks like to me that you're adding every single thing that happens, and the result now is an article that is too bloated and more than 1 million bytes in size. Procyon117 (talk) 14:34, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I am only adding Israeli strikes with at least 10 reported deaths. The only exception is reported deaths of woman and children or clearly mentioned deaths of militants or civilian men. If a Hezbollah or Hamas or any other non state actor's (Iran's proxy's) attack is causing casualties on Israelis, it is added by me and other things that it think as notable. Can you help to split this article and Timeline of the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (17 September 2024 – present) with a breakthrough event. Pachu Kannan (talk) 15:12, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I do appreciate your work so far, but unfortunately I don't know how to split articles or even what the breakoff would be here, I'm not really finding any breakthrough events that I would consider appropriate for a split. You'd probably have to find someone more knowledgeable than me on this. Procyon117 (talk) 15:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your revert on the: Timeline of the Gaza war (3 October 2025 – present) article

Hi @Pachu Kannan, thanks for taking the time to review and explain your reasoning.

I see that clashes and executions are already mentioned on October 12 + 13/10, but I believe my paragraph added important details that weren't fully covered in those entries. Since this is a timeline documenting ongoing events, I think it's important to update and include the most complete information available from reliable sources.

such as the Death toll: At least 33 Palestinians executed, more up to date than what's currently there. The Context: CNN reported this was part of Hamas's systematic campaign to suppress rival clans and a form of punishment for criticising Hamas during the war with Israel. The official condemnation made by WAFA and Al Mazan, while backed by Multiple sources: Reuters, CNN, WAFA, and Al Mazan all independently verified the same events

I don't think this is redundant, it's more of an update with strong sourcing and context. Timeline articles need to evolve as new information comes out, and this felt like a natural addition per WP:WEIGHT and WP:V.

I'm asking out of respect for your extensive number of edits to this article, and as a fellow editor: do you feel it should be added to the 12/10 paragraph as a single bulk addition to describe the events, or as an addition to the 15/10 to present the aftermath of the executions that took place?

Happy to make your acquaintance, Thanks again. Happypenguins82 (talk) 19:34, 27 October 2025 (UTC) (* User circumvented extended confirmed restriction in Arab–Israeli conflict contentious topic via permission gaming; see enforcement request)

Hi Happypenguins82 I think that it is better to add it to 15/10. I also think that it is better to trim that content, reduce the number of sources per WP:CITEBOMB and mention that many of the clans are backed and armed by Israel (see Israeli-backed groups) with https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/19/israel-identifies-body-of-11th-hostage-from-gaza-amid-ceasefire-tensions source.

October 2025

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! ScrabbleTiles (talk) 07:39, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

Hezbollah commanders

Regarding Daqduq's death, can you add the other link verifying those other commanders killed on June 12 soon, please? ~2026-32214-00 (talk) 10:39, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Done. According to Israeli military statements, number of Hezbollah commanders killed on that day was over 11 including Daqduq, we cannot round it to 12. Pachu Kannan (talk) 11:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Strange archive link in Killing of Muhammad al-Durrah

In your edit of 04:20, 30 September 2021 (UTC) of Killing of Muhammad al-Durrah, you inserted a strange archive link for <ref name=Fallows2003>: [[James Fallows]], [https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2003/06/who-shot-mohammed-al-dura/2735/ "Who shot Mohammed al-Durra?"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303185701/http://jcpa.org/jl/vp482.htm |date=2016-03-03 }}, ''The Atlantic'', June 2003. That archive link is of a page of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, not of The Atlantic. I caught and fixed that one; I hope there aren't more bollixed archive links still waiting to be found. —Anomalocaris (talk) 07:20, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it. Sorry for that mistake I made as a beginner in this encyclopedia and expect more help from you as I still not consider myself an experienced English Wikipedia editor. Pachu Kannan (talk) 09:57, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

2026 in the United States

Hi.

Since you don't seem to understand how entries on 2026 in the United States are formatted, here's a useful guide.

Examples of bullet points vs. en dash:

• July 1
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list (**)
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.

• July 2
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.

• July 3 – Only a single event on this date. Use an en dash (–) between the date and the event, not a bulleted list.

• July 4 – Only a single event on this date. Use an en dash (–) between the date and the event, not a bulleted list.

• July 5
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list (**)
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.
  • Multiple events go here in a bulleted list.

• July 6 – Only a single event on this date. Use an en dash (–) between the date and the event, not a bulleted list.

Etc...

Thank you. Wjfox2005 (talk) 11:26, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for providing me the guide. Pachu Kannan (talk) 11:30, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

You are still using bulleted lists for single entries:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2026_in_the_United_States&diff=prev&oldid=1364213463

Please use an en dash.

Wjfox2005 (talk) 08:16, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

Sorry. Pachu Kannan (talk) 08:26, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

Please use en dash, not em dash.

En dash –

Em dash —

The en dash is shorter. Please use this for single entries, not the longer dash.

Thank you. Wjfox2005 (talk) 13:41, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me once again. Pachu Kannan (talk) 14:19, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

What is the point in me "helping" you, if you then completely ignore what I've said? I already posted the guide, above. It should be clear when to use bullet points (multiple entries), and when to use en dash (single entry) between the date and the entry. You seem to have some kind of problem remembering this? Every time I go on 2026 in the United States, I have to keep correcting your mistakes. It's driving me insane. Wjfox2005 (talk) 08:22, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the inconvenience. I am not deliberately ignoring what you've said. The problem was I was sometimes unable to remember it while making several edits in this site each day. Pachu Kannan (talk) 08:35, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

I'm also warning you about the same WP:IDNHT behavior of yours throughout 2026 in Iran. Borgenland (talk) 12:53, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the waste of time caused by me for both of you. But, I am not deliberately making disruptive edits on this encyclopedia and I am attempting to make good faith edits within my capability. Pachu Kannan (talk) 19:03, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
