Deepavali - I reverted you because |

:'''A.''' You added your comment above when it actually goes at the very bottom, |

:'''B.''' You stated and I quote "''hardly an article and not clearly shouldn't be one. Consider recreation if enlarged more and justified''" - To me you're basically saying [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT]] & [[WP:ITSNOTNOTABLE]] which isn't a reason for deletion,<br /> |

so therefore with the greatest of respect your !vote was pointless,<br /> |

All that aside my main reason for the removal was because you added it above mine and another editors comment - Feel free to add your !vote but under everyone elses,<br /> |

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Anatomy Wikiproject!
Welcome to Wikipedia from WikiProject Anatomy! We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of anatomy articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are involved in editing anatomy articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:
- Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing anatomy articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- We write for a general audience. Every reader should be able to understand anatomical articles, so when possible please write in a simple form—most readers do not understand anatomical jargon. See this essay for more details.
Feel free to contact us on the WikiProject Anatomy talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. I wish you all the best on your wiki-voyages! --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:19, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
April 2015 (Welcome, Edit Revert & Notes)
Welcome!
Hi, Deepavali 2014. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions or place {{helpme}}
on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.
Hello, I'm LibertyOrDeath. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to English Bay (Vancouver) seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
It seems you are a little unclear on the meaning of "bias" and "neutral point of view." Your edits here [1] and here [2] do not make sense based on your edit summaries. For example, an article section having a heading of "First marriage" is not biased simply because there is not another section in the article titled "Second marriage". (If you think I'm wrong about that and you have a specific reason that you legitimately believe this introduces bias into the article as stated, and you've read the applicable Help pages on this topic, then feel free to let me know your rationale, or begin a discussion on the Talk page of that article.)
Please review the above links to learn more about this, and how to constructively contribute to Wikipedia, as well as find out where you can ask for assistance if you're unsure about something. You may find it particularly useful to take a look at the Neutral Point Of View and No Original Research pages, and also please be sure to review the rules about editing Biographies of Living Persons before editing more pages of that type (it's important to follow very specific rules when writing about living people on Wikipedia; please view the link I provided to learn more). You are probably here because you want to improve Wikipedia, and we all make mistakes when we're new (and most of us humans continue to make them occasionally even when we're not new!) - so I won't revert your other edits. Instead, you can review the policies in the links I provided, and then make the necessary changes [to your original edits] yourself in accordance with policy. (If you ultimately choose not to do it though, myself or someone else will eventually do it either way.) I hope you will take the time to learn more about Wikipedia, and how you can put your skills to good use to improve it for everyone! Thanks! LibertyOrDeath (talk) 03:41, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Some reports are that the oil spill is not that bad and that is not coming from the ship or oil company. The mayor may be biased because he has a political agenda. I didn't see it and even if I did, user reporting is not allowed. Please do not have only a pov article. Deepavali 2014 (talk) 11:18 pm, Yesterday (UTC−4)
- Hello Deepavali 2014,
- I copied your message on my user talk page to here, as I prefer to keep discussions on the same page (see the note on my user page) as I think it's far less confusing for others to later follow the discussion. Thanks for leaving me a message explaining your opinion, but in the future, please don't just revert an edit that another editor reverted, especially if that editor explained their actions in the edit summary or left you a good-faith message informing you of their concerns that it violated policy. [I did both of these things.] That's considered impolite on Wikipedia, and also may be considered disruptive editing or edit warring (especially if you do it repeatedly). These things don't do anything positive for anyone involved - they waste the time and energy of the editors, and Wikipedia isn't actually improved.
- I tried to approach you in a friendly way by welcoming you, explaining my reason for reverting your edit, and then writing an individualized message giving you specific links that I hoped you would read, and I encouraged you to become more educated about Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I even said that I wouldn't revert your edits to other articles and would give you the chance to do it yourself, in the hopes that you would read the links I'd provided and realize on your own how you had made a mistake - and if you were genuinely here to improve Wikipedia, you would be willing to correct those mistakes for the good of the encyclopedia that we're here to build.
- Did you/have you read any of the pages I linked to? If not, why? These are policies that form the foundation of Wikipedia, and every editor should read them. No one can force you to (although an admin can block or ban you from editing if you don't follow them) but anyone who's here to improve Wikipedia would take the time to read at least the basic pillars. People will help you when you make mistakes as long as you show that you're here to improve Wikipedia and are willing to learn.
- However, since you just reverted my revert and you didn't start a discussion on the article's talk page before (or after) doing it, and your message to me was only about that particular edit on that article (not the larger issue I brought up), this conversation should continue on the talk page of the article. I've opened a discussion there, please leave any additional messages about the article itself (i.e. including the content of the article) on that page, and please don't revert your edit again until a discussion has taken place. If you do have a reply to the issues I mentioned in this message, something that isn't specifically related to the article itself (e.g. an answer to my above questions and so forth), you should place your reply regarding that on this page. (In other words, stuff related to the article and the content of the article goes on the article's talk page, stuff related to an editor and their actions goes on the user talk page - I know it can be confusing.) Thank you. LibertyOrDeath (talk) 03:41, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
AfD closure
Please read WP:NAC. you are not allowed to close with delete result, if you continue you do do I will report you. LibStar (talk) 13:48, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
AFD !vote
Deepavali - I reverted you because
- A. You added your comment above when it actually goes at the very bottom,
- B. You stated and I quote "hardly an article and not clearly shouldn't be one. Consider recreation if enlarged more and justified" - To me you're basically saying WP:IDONTLIKEIT & WP:ITSNOTNOTABLE which isn't a reason for deletion,
so therefore with the greatest of respect your !vote was pointless,
All that aside my main reason for the removal was because you added it above mine and another editors comment - Feel free to add your !vote but under everyone elses,
Thank you. –Davey2010Talk 14:14, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
