I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions, or send me a message on my talk page. I like to help new people, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like Wikipedia and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

December 2024

Hello! Thank you for creating a new category. However, we normally need at least three pages in a category before it is created. Because categories are a way to group together similar articles, there is no need to create a new category for just one or two articles. If you think there might be more pages to add to the new category, please add them now. Thank you. BZPN (talk) 18:01, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I appreciate your concern, however I am in the process of simplifying music articles. These categories will have three articles within an hour. Garsh2 (talk) 18:05, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate it. Best regards, BZPN (talk) 18:07, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Garsh2, Just a heads up, your fixes of "Table not correct end" here and here are in fact leaving trailing "|}"s behind,

With regards to A55 road - It appears to be related to {{jctbtm}} and I was advised to chase people on Enwiki to find out why it's not working however as you've seen there are a plethora of end templates not working so I've not bothered chasing it up, so I've pretty much left the "Table not correct end" category alone, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 22:08, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks! Garsh2 (talk) 22:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

No worries, Happy editing :) –Davey2010^Talk 22:17, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

I've granted you the rollback flag. Here's where I'd advise you test it out at Wikipedia:Rollback feature/Testing ground but since you already have it at enwiki you hopefully already know how the feature works.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 09:01, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Template

Hey, I saw you had the temporary account IP viewer right and wanted to tell you I made a template for it if you wanted to put it on your user page:

This user has temporary account IP viewer rights on the Simple English Wikipedia. (verify)

. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 04:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, I will! Garsh (talk) 04:50, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for using it. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 04:55, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Also created this if you wanted to use it.

Why you reported on Asit nath tiwari wikipedia

“Hello, I saw your concern about the Wikipedia page. If you believe any information is incorrect, please share reliable sources so it can be reviewed and corrected. Wikipedia content is improved based on verifiable references.” The golden wings agency (talk) 04:39, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, the discussion is about whether the article's subject should be on Wikipedia, not about the the information. You can leave your comments for others to see on the discussion page at Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2026/Asit_Nath_Tiwari. Garsh (talk) 05:03, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Congratulations on your successful RfA! I will ping @Eptalon for mailing list access, @Bsadowski1 for IRC access and @Ferien for discord access (I do wish I could do it all myself).

Is this alright? What do you think?

Steller's jay ~2026-38637-29 (talk) 05:38, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Looks like a great start to me! Thank you for adding to Wikipedia! My only comment is some words are not what we would consider simple English. Check the WP:BE 1500 for a good list of simple words. If you have to use complicated words, try to add a short explanation or wikilink them to another article. Happy editing! Garsh (talk) 06:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

OK I'll try to simplify some more. ~2026-38637-29 (talk) 06:06, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Who is the x-American vandal?

I don't know if pinging works with temp accounts, since I can't log back into them once the internet disconnects each evening, so I am leaving the question here again: who is the x-American vandal? As I understand it the VPN I was using last week was also used by whoever it is, and I just need to clarify who it is and when/what they edited so I can show proof of my own activities at those times, to make it clear we are different people. ~2026-40060-03 (talk) 13:27, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

Deletion thread

Hello Garsh2. I'm not sure if you noticed, but my comment in the deletion thread was tampered by the creator of that article shortly before your verdict. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:25, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Wow, that’s quite something. I will take another look in a few moments. Thanks for letting me know. Garsh (talk) 13:38, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello again Garsh2. Холостой картридж (Vagrdyuy9) has now recreated the article . HistoryofIran (talk) 03:07, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Blocked and deleted. Honestly should have permanently blocked him to begin with. Garsh (talk) 03:56, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Protect

Could you temporarily protect the Soran–Persian War page, like the Ottoman–Soran War page? There is an ongoing edit war. @Garsh2 BEFOR01 (talk) 15:00, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

It appears to be just one other editor (with multiple TAs) making the changes, so I don't see protection being necessary for now. I left them a warning. Garsh (talk) 17:09, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

If you look at the talk page I have proven that and it is the best way to say so ~2026-41763-54 (talk) 19:50, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for protecting Lance Henriksen

Thanks for protecting Lance Henriksen. The vandal has been very active recently, but has been messing with the page since May 2025. See Special:Diff/10947748/10261594: hardly any useful changes, but 164 edits, almost all by the same person. This person has been active on enwiki since 2018 (see e.g. en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TyMega/Archive) and later started disrupting many other sites. I guess we'll have to extend the protection when it expires in two weeks. But we'll see. Thanks! Happy editing. — Chrisahn (talk) 08:11, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

It seems to be a situation where the LTA returns to vandalize the page every few months and then disappears again. If they don't lose interest after shorter protections, I will extend it. Garsh (talk) 18:21, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Deletion

@Garsh2, the story, you deleted was not a fake one. The accusations by Iraqi government were real accusations. However, if the accusations turned out to be true or not, is not widely known as there were no proofs. ~2026-42741-07 (talk) 22:30, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

But these accusations may be the risky ones. Correct? ~2026-42741-07 (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Such as one of the at least 5 terrorlisted henchmen, Said Shaytan Rahman, had close ties to Josef Mengele, Central Intelligence Agency, Mossad, and Kurdistan Democratic Party written on Iraqi newspapers have happened. Anyway, I should not publish these comments since these accusations are quite risky. Correct? ~2026-42741-07 (talk) 22:48, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

I moved your comments to a new section. If you are talking about Said Abdul (Shaytan) Rahman, do you have a source other than an English Wikipedia article? Other Wikipedia articles are not good sources because anyone can edit them. I could not find any source showing that the person the article talks about is real. There is nothing wrong with talking about accusations against someone, as long as there are other sources that talk about them also. Garsh (talk) 04:45, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@Garsh2. Why do not you give answer? Yes, Iraq accused these henchmen of crimes, such as having close ties to Josef Mengele, at least since 1960s. When I said "Perhaps, I should not say these accusations" and asked "Correct?", you just delete. Why? ~2026-42741-07 (talk) 09:06, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-42741-07 your comments are down here. Garsh (talk) 12:17, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

For me, it is better to stay out of this. Because another person, said these accusations occurred, but these are risky ones. So, it is better for me to stop this, at least for now. ~2026-42741-07 (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Otherwise, thanks for the information. ~2026-42741-07 (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

No problem! I am happy to bring the page back if you can show the person the article is about does actually exist. Sorry for the confusion! Garsh (talk) 04:45, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

LTA

Hello, and thank you for blocking a vandal. The vandal you just blocked a few minutes ago is an LTA dubbed the "reversi vandal", and when blocked, may cause talk page disruption. I suggest for an LTA like that, that email and talk page privileges be taken away just to be safe. Again, thank you, and have a great night! NX3710 (talk) 05:53, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the info! I was aware of this vandal but didn’t connect the dots. I will keep this in mind. Garsh (talk) 15:38, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

G5 Declined

I noticed you declined the G5 I applied at Olamide article, could you please provide the reason for the decline? Preeq (talk) 00:16, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

As I said in the edit summary, this article has existed for 5 years. You’re correct that it was created by a blocked user, but I don’t see this as being a beneficial deletion so long after the fact. There are also some contributions from legitimate users in the edit history. You’re still welcome to take to RfD if you’d like the community to decide on deletion. Garsh (talk) 02:31, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

No problem, I appreciate you. :) Preeq (talk) 07:57, 4 September 2026 (UTC)

Edit

Hello @Garsh2, User:JoshGomes427 keep reverting/adding unsourced content to Kung Fu Sock. And they have broken the 3 revert rule. They seems to be abusing multiple accounts see; User:Joshuagomes427 (~Nwa Mbata) (talk) 14:28, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

They have used their sock acc to vandalize the entry again. (~Nwa Mbata) (talk) 13:39, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about this! I've blocked all the accounts and am watching the page. If it keeps up, I will protect the page. Garsh (talk) 19:08, 13 September 2026 (UTC)
