The Sinhalese are the majority ethnic group of Sri Lanka and if they are minority of all Indo Aryan people then wouldn't Islam be considered a minority as well. As Indo Aryans are predominately Hindu. (121.220.85.4 (talk) 03:53, 21 November 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Hi thereUser:121.220.85.4, good day to you. Isn't Pakistan included, and there are a lot of Muslims in India as well, anyways, I just thought that out of a really big, hundreds of millions total that 14 million was a minority. Please, I suggest you open a chat on the talkpage and ask the users there, regards Govindaharihari (talk) 03:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well now that I think of it, I guess the most followed Indian religion amongst Indo Aryan people is Hinduism and so Buddhism would be a minority out of all the Indian religions practised by Indo Aryans and Islam is not an Indian religion so I guess it can be listed as such. Anyway, I guess it can be kept like that. Good day to you too. (121.220.85.4 (talk) 04:11, 21 November 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

	Time To Spread Some Happy Holiday Cheer!!
	I decorated a special kind of Christmas tree in the spirit of the season. What's especially nice about the digitized version is that it doesn't need water, and it won't catch fire.
	Wishing you a joyous holiday season... ...and a prosperous New Year!! 🍸🎁 🎉

Don't EVER reopen a Rfc after it's been closed unless you opened it yourself EVEN if you think the closure was premature. Engleham (talk) 00:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was a discussion process and premature closure by involved parties was out of standard - I will have a read of wp:rfc and get back to you. thanks Govindaharihari (talk) 15:54, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ow, User:Engleham I see you are blocked for two weeks, wow, I also see your block log is extensive, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3AEngleham&type=block makes me feel your aggressive style is causing you lots of problems, good luck and goodbye Govindaharihari (talk) 21:16, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't ever accept pending changes on articles that introduce unsourced personal information to biography articles. The changes you approved at Digangana Suryavanshi were the same edits that the article was protected to prevent.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -User:Ponyo, but the link verified it, ??? didn't it? in the supporting link and the utube video she confirms it? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Digangana_Suryavanshi&diff=703474206&oldid=703473517 - I will check again , but she at least supports the day of birth in the utube video - it appeared to me , on investigation to have a degree of verified truth in the addition, so I accepted it. Please excuse me if my investigations were misguided, but I did do and always do a primary investigation prior to accepting. Govindaharihari (talk) 00:31, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The link provided does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for "sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy", especially for material that has been disputed as is the case with the date of birth (see also WP:DOB). The Terms and Conditions for Daily Bhaskar make it clear that it does not meet the criteria; in their own words "Daily.bhaskar.com does not control the content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content." and "Daily.bhaskar.com makes no submission about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, and accuracy of the information, products, services and related graphics contained within "The Site and the Service" for any purpose."--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:14, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ow yes I see, I will watch out for that in future, many thanks User:Ponyo. Govindaharihari (talk) 07:27, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[2] – There is no need for a reference for a formatting change that applies to WP only. Having the lineal title follow The Ring is a format that will be part of the new boxing MOS; specifically the record table section:

• "List titles in the order that they were won; do not sort them by alphabetical or sanctioning body 'importance."
• "Exceptions include The Ring and lineal titles; they should be listed after any sanctioning bodies, with lineal last."

I think the unlinked was the ip addie previous to yours, this one https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sa%C3%BAl_%C3%81lvarez&diff=704041374&oldid=703810671 I thought that was you also and it did change the detail without a link, anyways, those articles are pretty messy, lots of unverified content and such, no worries Govindaharihari (talk) 07:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

'opinionated user' is a personal remark - address the content issue, or else stop editing wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.3.5.49 (talk) 02:09, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

if you go around calling people wankers and all your other rude angry comments you will appear opinionated. Govindaharihari (talk) 07:14, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sir/Madam,

So I've viewed your input to the page, where you said; "Common name is usual in opening.".

I would remind you that the article opening says; Clint Eastwood (born Clinton Eastwood, Jr.; May 31, 1930)...

To say "born Clinton Eastwood, Jr." would mean that he changed his name from Clinton to Clint.

I think everyone can agree that Clint is his common name, but Clinton is his full name - "born Clinton Eastwood, Jr." means otherwise.

So, my edits were to remove confusion of suggesting that he changed his name (and there is no reference to say that he did anyway).

With your permission, I will re-edit the page.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Frey's Fray (talk) 07:59, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Frey's Fray Not giving permission for that - please leave comments on the article talkpage Talk:Clint Eastwood and time for discussion - Govindaharihari (talk) 08:02, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you purposefully and blatantly harass a fellow Wikipedian again, as you did at ANI, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. If you do this again I will block you, as we have done before with editors who suggest ways of outing someone. As another Admin told Biscuittin, it will be an indefinite block.
