Reverted your deletions at Dera Sacha Sauda

Greetings, I note you removed a large amount of critical material from Dera Sacha Sauda, with no explanation. If you have concerns about material, its sourcing, its presentation, etc., please express that at Talk:Dera Sacha Sauda. It is completely unacceptable to simply remove cited text with no discussion. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:41, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Greetings, I have reverted again (though I left off "controversial" since it was not well-sourced) as I do not think it is acceptable to remove controversies of historical note, even when the accused is found innocent, and also the sourcing did not support the word "all". I have explained this at Talk:Dera_Sacha_Sauda#Reverted_over-trimming_of_controversies, so I would appreciate your input there is you disagree. If we both continue to disagree, let us seek comment from WP:INDIA's noticeboard, or feel free to file there asking for outside opinion first. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:01, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm okay with the "allegedly by force" being removed, since a) it doesn't clarify that it's mainly one publisher saying that and b) while Tehelka's "exposes" should be included they shouldn't be the predominant source. That said you have to explain your edits using the Edit Summary. Don't make major deletions without explaining them, even if you are indeed correct, as it looks (on a watchlist) like vandalism, other people will dive in to try and fix it, and an edit war ensues. Just give a very neutral, unemotional summary like "Item is only cited to one source, which is already heavily used in article" or something like that. I looked at it and agree with you, but since you had no explanation I had to go and look quite carefully at it. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:48, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Pointless

Please read this. And there is no point in uploading the same image time and time again. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:00, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

OK, I will give you the benfit of the doubt on another upload timed two minutes after my message above. But if i see any more, I shall block you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:10, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj, Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj & Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan .JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj, Param Pita Shah Satnam Singh Ji Maharaj & Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan .JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Dera Sacha Sauda.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Dera Sacha Sauda.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 08:32, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

October 2011

Please do not continue to upload files with missing or false information on their copyright status, as you did with File:Dera Sacha Sauda.gif. Please note that Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. Images and other media must only be uploaded if they meet the conditions stated in our image use policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 08:33, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Block

Did you read my message at #Pointless above? Do you think I am justified in blocking you? Please reply. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

• Sorry I didn't noticed the warnings regarding the image uploads. Though it was for the good of that article, I am doing that, so tell me what I need to provide for uploading the image, but I got this image from the internet so what I need to provide you, so that I can do that. And Please unblock me, I ensure you I will not breach any of the Misplaced Pages's T&C again. — Vikas.insan (talk · contribs) via e-mail

I find it mind boggling that despite uploading the image twelve (!) times you did not manage once to tell us where you found it. If you wish to use it in the article, you must go through the requesting copyright permission procedure. The copyright holder must be willing to release it under the CC-BY-SA or compatible licence and it should then be uploaded to the Commons. I have unblocked you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:09, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Misplaced Pages has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
