Another blatant misuse

The article Bindeshwari Dubey requires massive restructuring to be able to qualify for a standard biographical stub-it has been reduced to loads of unverified facts unsourced for too long..Kindly check the same

No anti-British, anti-colonial point of view

	Absolute neutrality
	Your contributions to Racism in British India and Talk:Racism in British India are welcome. I fully agree with you that there should not be an "anti-British, anti-colonial" approach to such an article. I admire you for your efforts to keep articles neutral.

Regarding Ongoing projects

They were not having the references, so i added the references now. i hope everyone will agree now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Preethan87 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Please discuss at Talk:Thoothukudi. You were reverted by myself and another person, and references were only a part of the rationale for reverting. - Sitush (talk) 19:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Bazaars in Karachi

I've tagged this new article and left a note on the talk page, but would prefer someone that is a bit more worldly than this North Carolina hick to take a look. Ping me if you think it needs more attention. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 17:03, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Biased POV edits

Hi Sitush. I have been referred to you by an editor that I trust, who identified you as a key editor on India. There is an editor going round adding to a number of articles (see Karachi) a statement about "Hindus migrating out of Pakistan, and Muslims fleeing pogroms and genocide in India (pogrom often spellt by this editor as pogram). In the past few days, another editor and I have deleted the references to pograms but he reverts the edits. I have no problem with the use of strong terms to refer to what happened in 1947, but cannot agree with the distorted view that people left Pakistan peacefully, while others fled India to escape massacres. A quick glance at a number of articles - ethnic cleansing; genocides in history, pogram, etc. do not list the 1947 population exchange that followed the partition as a pogrom or genocide. Other then 1947 per se, these articles actually reveal that a number of massacres have been carried by Pakistan(is), and not a single case of massacres against them.

(talk page stalker) I've given the editor a warning. In the future, actually, this is important for you (or others) to do. Just leaving edit summaries isn't enough--tell the editor directly what they've done wrong or why their edits aren't good. Then, if the problem persists and the user refuses to discuss the matter, administrative action can be taken. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Sitush/ Qwyrxian. Will in future do so. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 10:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposal for updating WP:INDICSCRIPT

--Bejnar (talk) 23:37, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Doubt

Are proofs like this adequate enough to include the line that shiv nadar is actually a nadar? You removed that line by stating the line is not in the ref. The ref above claims he comes frm the nadan subsect and this ref is in that para. I dont understand. And how are you?? :)Mayan302 (talk) 16:40, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm not too bad, thanks. If a person is living then they have to self-identify. I can only see the link that you give in "snippet view", so it is not really something that I can pass comment on. Have you seen User:Sitush/Common#Castelists? There have been various discussions since I summarised things there but nothing has actually changed.

Out of interest, is Shiv Nadar's alleged caste affiliation actually a cause of his success in business or of his notability generally? If not, then it is arguably irrelevant anyway. - Sitush (talk) 16:53, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

No actually I was going to post a line after that para but a edit conflict occured. The author seems to know a great deal about Nadar businessmen( for instance, he knows very specific details like shiv nadar's 'nadan' background. i think he must have met them personally). So isnt that a good enough proof. The book contains details about many nadar businessmen. That's what I meant to say.Mayan302 (talk) 17:02, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

No, it is not sufficient verification. You cannot assume the source of the author's knowledge etc. Now, if the author added a footnote saying "I was told this by Shiv Nadar in an interview with him on dd-mmm-yyyy" then things might be different. - Sitush (talk) 17:08, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok then. I ll check this book out and return. Why do you get sick very often? Just curious. You dont have to tell me if it's personal.Mayan302 (talk) 17:16, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

I was just born this way. My mum had rubella when she was pregnant with me and it has left me with a fair number of chronic health issues. She was not offered immunisation because her medical notes said that she had already contracted the disease as a child and therefore should have had the necessary antibodies already - seems like there may have been a screw-up with the notes. She blames herself but should not.

Plus, of course, I am now the wrong side of 50 and things start to generally wear out! - Sitush (talk) 17:27, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

You are 50 yrs old? Never heard of this disease b4. But it's curable right? You still have it after all these years? Perhaps you should sue the hospital or something. If it's a screw up, that is.Mayan302 (talk) 04:24, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

It is also known as German Measles) - take a look at the rubella article, which seems pretty good based on my own knowledge. It is a worldwide problem but perhaps less prevalent wherever it is that you live. The disease is short-lived but in pregnant women it can affect the unborn child in ways that are incurable, as happened in my case, Lots of mistakes happen in medical notes and if we went around suing people for all of them then it would be a sad world. Anyway, this all happened a long time ago when people simply didn't do that sort of thing, or at least not in the UK. Best just to make the best of a bad situation, and I rather think that I've done quite well in that regard. - Sitush (talk) 05:31, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Sick o not you re doing one helluva job.Thought you should know.But you seem a little grumpier than before. Hope your health gets better soon.TC... Mayan302 (talk) 17:10, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Your comments about my contributions are appreciated - very kind of you to say so, thanks. "Grumpy" should be my username, as I fear that I am more often Grumpy than Happy when using Misplaced Pages. Some of it is down to the meds, some of it is just me. Perhaps you have been fortunate in your past dealings with me! Still, that's enough about Snow White: heigh-ho, off to work we go, eh? - Sitush (talk) 23:11, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Sanjay Singh

Hi.. I thought Sanjay Singh was not written good, so I cleaned it up. Can you point out roughly which parts of my edit made the article poor? Because to me, in its present form it looks poor, so it definitely need cleaning up. you can reply later if you wish, when you are out of frustration .. :) --Vigyani (talk) 03:09, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I'll try to produce a list of some of the issues later today. Probably some good changes of phrasing etc were removed along with the relatively poor stuff. Don't beat yourself up about it: I realise that you meant well. - Sitush (talk) 05:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

No, I am not worried or feeling bad etc. I usually dont have any emotion connected with my edits. I was asking as a port of learning process. If I have made an error, I don't want to repeat on other articles. --Vigyani (talk) 15:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

An anon is trying to add non sense to nadar article

This is anon is tryin to add pov statements(like 'nadars are the richest community in the world) to the article from yesterday. I ve reverted his edits thrice.Is that ok? I mean I am not supposed to revert edits more than twice right?Mayan302 (talk) 17:27, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Three times in a 24 hour period is the usual limit. However, you should also make attempts to address the issues with the contributor and I would be wary of waiting until just outside a 24-hour spell and then reverting for a fourth time. Regardless, in this particular case I will keep an eye on things & so there will be no need for you to overstep the mark. Once warnings etc have been escalated, and assuming that the anon remains unresponsive, then it becomes the concern of an admin either by direct intervention or via a report at the noticeboard. - Sitush (talk) 19:20, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Got it. Ok..Mayan302 (talk) 07:28, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Self-revert

I think you ought to check explanation on the talk page and self-revert if you are convinced. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Arbitrary heading - Nadar

I really dont understand , why you have deleted my contribution in the page List of Nadars. If you have any problem go through the articles which are being linked for an proof, please stop vandalising the page. If any further un-sourced and grude toward various authors would be done, you would be blocked. Please read the articles which have been provided..and please be a bit cooperative. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr n Mrs (talk • contribs) 16:19, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't fully understand what you are saying but when you blank a page then you can expect a reaction. Similarly, when you replace a valid maintenance template with a "protection" template, and the article is not in fact protected, you can expect to be reverted. Please take a look at User:Sitush/Common#Castelists. - Sitush (talk) 18:02, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Helping hand

Hi Sitush,

I noticed you had a bit of a trolling problem from an IP, so I did the decent thing as a fellow Wikipedian and reverted their actions. Hope you don't mind me doing that on your behalf. Regards, Wesley♦ 17:14, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, and no problem. They are evading a block and have been doing so for some time now. - Sitush (talk) 17:59, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

To answer your question...

...no, I don't mind the pedantry :) Actually, I greatly appreciate the help. I'm wanting the article to be something special, like it's sister article, and I know I can't do it alone, nor do I want to. I'm actually pretty good at doing research, digging up sources and understanding the big picture, but I still have a ways to go on learning all the finishing touches and proper prose. Most of my edits over the last 7 years have been minor expansions and gnoming. Plus, never having gone to college, I never had to learn how to properly write. I do lots of copy work for ecommerce purposes, but that has mainly served to teach me the wrong ways to do it here. Anyway, I appreciate the help, and the boldness. If I have a complaint or question, I will say, so don't worry about hurting my feelings. Thanks again. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 00:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
