== Deletion Review - Matt Norman ==

Hi there Could you please review your deletion of an article I put up that you deleted.

Article ]

Below is the opinion of another administrator? Thanks in advance. ] 05:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)



Re. Please tell me why you have deleted my entry - third time?

Hello. I believe that the article in question is Matt Norman. I did not delete this, but after checking the deletion log I can inform that it has been deleted three times by three different administrators. The reason stated for deletion was the speedy deletion criterion A7. This criterion states that an article may be speedy deleted if it provides no assertion of notability of the subject. After viewing the last version of the article I believe that it did assert notability. I recommend you to take this article to the deletion review and try to have the deletion overturned. I hope this helps. Regards,--Húsönd 12:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq. I am a Nazrul researcher and I maintain the only comprehensive website dedicated to the life and works of Nazrul. Indeed, the resources at the site were extensively used and referred to in putting together the Misplaced Pages article on Nazrul. My own writings on Nazrul have also been included in the reference section of the essay.
==Conundrum==
Hi there,


Recently, while going through the Misplaced Pages article, I came across a particular information that is uncorroborated. Indeed, the particular reference given is not even accessible. Based on three leading biographies of Nazrul and additional research (that does not contradict the information provided in these biographies), I edited the part related to Nazrul's illness and treatment and added specific, corroborated information (including about the physicians who examined Nazrul and their diagnosis). It seems all my edits have been reverted by you.
I am almost at the end of my tether with bickering on the ] page. A number of editors, some well-intentioned (like ] and ]) and others of uncertain intentions (like ]) would like to add (or, have already added and which I then reverted) various portions of text to many sections of the ] page, an FA. These proposed edits, all initially made by ] are not minor (''i.e.'' they are of the size of a small paragraph), and they have not been discussed before. I have tried to start discussion going on the ] page, for example: see ], or ] (the title of this section has been changed retroactively by ] from "History section" to "Fowler's High-handed Reverts"). The problem as I see it is that the edits are either controversial, or cover old ground, or too listy. I get the feeling that these editors are not really interested in discussing the issues because they keep accusing me of "making a mountain out of molehill" or semantic obfuscation. Their view is that their edits are ''common-sense'' and 1 or 2 KB or text is no problem, and that no time should be wasted on discussion, especially elaborate discussion like mine. Here is an example of some responses: ] and ]. In the background, ] seems to be egging on the other editors to go ahead and add the reverted material again before the discussion is complete. I am trying to hold on until ] returns from his vacation on February 4, but in light of ]'s unmitigated hostility, I am concerned. She/He has used uncivil language consistently. Here are some examples of language directed at me:
# "Will someone do me a favour by drilling it into his skull ..."
# "hiding behind an admin to justify juvenile editing practices ..."
# "Just improve it. Dammit."


Since you have contributed so much to this page, obviously you have interest in this article. I am wondering if you can help me understand your reason to revert it. After all, if you care about Nazrul, I am sure you will like to have accurate information about him. Furthermore, as a Misplaced Pages contributor, we all must have interest in improving the pedia through better research and works.
In spite of my civil reminder to desist (see ]), she/he has continued with his uncivil language and earlier today she/he changed the title of the discussion section retroactively from "History Section" to "Fowler's High-handed Reverts". (The discussion section incidentally had been started by me.) I am trying to keep my cool, but it is frustrating to hear such language consistently, when most of me, judging from the level sophistication of her/his writing, is itching to say something. Any advice will be welcome. ]] 20:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


I would greatly appreciate if you can help me understand your decision to revert my edits.
Wow! Another mischevous act of misrepresentation of my stand by Fowler. Anyway first things first. Talking of decorum or the lack of it on my part that Fowler seems to be harping on, may I remind him that he has called me a vandal for no reason other than his own ignorance of the rules.


I can also be directly contacted at farooqm@globalwebpost.com.
His condescending edit summaries, couple of which I have pointed out on the India talk page, smack of unbridled contempt for the efforts of other editors; not to mention his ignorance of several WP policies.


Best regards.
And indulging in revert after revert after revert without any explanation whatsoever is like dealing a slap on the other editors face with scant respect for his/her efforts. Forget simple reverts, for someone who acts so very 'holier-than-thou', did he even bother to let people know before he rolled the page back two months?!


==================================
Its one thing to play to a gallery of admins and another to not lose sight of objectivity. He royally betrays his misplaced priorities at every step. He seems not to or not willing to understand that issues like style, formatting, grammar, article size etc., are '''NOT''' excuses to blank content or roll pages back two months!!

== ] ==
For example, there was this content about G4 and India's bid for a permanent seat that Indianstar had added. A bid for the permanent seat is an extremely significant and notable fact about India as is its space programme and its nuclear programme. So says commonsense. But not Fowler. He simply goes ahead and blanks it out offering no explanation other than another of his ill informed edit summaries(rv content that was added without discussion!!).


Hi there, I was wondering under what grounds the article 'Intervol' was deleted by you? It may not have had references as yet but it is a constitution certified member of one of the largest and most well-respected universities in England. The page is useful as it gives readers of the main university of birmingham page more information if they want it. Please could I have a copy of the page so that I can correctly reference it and then re-include it. I would have much preferred some constructive criticism and help rather than a quiet removal. Is your role to simply remove the unreferenced material again and again or to teach people how to correctly assemble pages?<br />Thank you for your time.<br />] 20:59 GMT March 10th
And when other editors decide that they will brook no more nonsense and demand an explanation of him, he comes back and sheepishly says that Indianstar's version was too wordy and that he'd have no objection if the same was mentioned more concisely as they've done on ]!! So in effect, he has blanked out(vandalised??) content which even ''he'' agrees with, simply because the fact wasnt worded well??! What does he think he's doing! Has he even heard of ''cpedit''?


== DYK ==
And it is not like I am taking exception to his reverts because I have some sinister agenda. I've observed his editing behaviour since the last two months. And I see a disturbing and disruptive pattern and that is precisely why I've said what I've said. Its not like I am against every revert he does. Some, like the one he did today(the Afghan historian one) are certainly justified. But such ones are very few and far between considering that he has dozens of reverts to his name (counting just just this ''one'' article) in the short time that he's been on WP.


{{Template:Did you know nominations/Nav Nirman}}
Sample the facts that he's blanked out:


== ] of ] ==
* India's bid for a permanent seat
]
* India's nuclear capability
* India's successful space programme. and many many many more.


The article ] has been ]&#32;because of the following concern:
Explanations offered : NONE. None until fellow editors took him to task. ] 21:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
<blockquote>'''There are many problems with this article. The sources are not very reliable and it is not written from a neutral Perspective.'''</blockquote>


While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be ].
:Just saw your message. Fowler's high handed reverts, blanking of content and unilateral rollbacks have been as uncivil and unprofessional as it gets. And can you please point out where I've edit warred with him. If anything, I've been patient and not undone even one of his reverts even though I take serious exception to it. Thanks. ] 21:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ].
::There has been an RfC of sorts on Talk:India for the last couple of days and both Indianstar and AJ India have disapproved of Fowler's editing habits. Both have indicated that Fowler merely keeps splitting hairs and making mountains out of molehills. Chanakyathegreat has also in the recent past disapproved of Fowler's blanking/reverts. I am sure there are others too. Many I guess are too tired to even comment there. An article can be optimised for prose, size etc., only ''after'' content has been added not ''before''. Blanking out legitimate content simply because it is too wordy or has bad grammar is disruption if not vandalism. ] 21:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the ], but other ]es exist. In particular, the ] process can result in deletion without discussion, and ] allows discussion to reach ] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->
:::I pray that you not lose sight of the real issue while focusing on my 'incivility'. Apart from the couple of "dammit"s, I've been very sane and civil throughout. And his edit summaries that sound like "hey you!.. i trashing your content coz you didnt discuss this ahead of time.." are extremely uncivil. Far worse than civility issues, his editing habits are extremely disruptive. Even Indianstar made the observation that thanks to Fowler, hardly any productive editing has taken place on the article in the past couple of months. ] 21:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
::::I surely cant be faulted for being incivil to a vandal(if that is what WP calls someone who blanks legitimate content like Fowler) or a disruptive user. If anything, I've been kind to fault by not slapping him with {test} tags for vandalism and such. ] 21:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Project tagging:After a brief edit war over the addition of {{WP India}} to ancient archaeological sites now located in Pakistan, a "pre" parameter was introduced to remove the ROI flag from the template for pre-1947 articles, following discussion. After another large discussion on ANI alleging that the automated tagging by Ganeshbot and LostBot was "nationalistic", Ganeshbot was briefly blocked. Currently, the bots are again in action.
  • Swastika on Hinduism templates:Recently, an extremely large and at times emotional debate broke out regarding the use of the swastika on Hinduism templates, given its association with Nazism. As a result, {{Hindu Links}} now contains an educational message about the use of the swastika, as discussion on a more permanent resolution continues.

    How can you accuse me of attacking Muhajirs when I AM a Muhajir from my father's side.My father is a Muhajir of Azerbaijani ancestry from his mother's side.Therefor he is of Azerbaijani descent born in what is today india. I still stand by my claims that I dislike their mentality of being too conservitive.I once had a Greek tutor who would repeatidly attack his people because he felt they were too arrogant.Does that make him an "anti-Greek".

    If you think my comments were attacking Muhajirs,then atleast you can call me a "self-hating Muhajir" rather than an "anti-Muhajir" which is quite ridiculous and somewhat quite laughable :-)--Nadirali نادرالی

    Who said I cared about DaGizza's background? If you're reffering to the comment I made on the history of India talkpage,he asked me to post if I regarded him as Pakistani or not and even posted on my talkpage to make sure I'd see his question on the talkpage.

    As for my comments regarding the Muhajirs,I commented on the typical Muhajir mentality and the recent terrorism commited by the MQM.And I still stand on my claim the aticle is biased which is why I put the NPOV check on it. It's called commenting on content,not contributers

    The reason why we're at arbcom is not because we're disrupting you're agenda.I really don't think we'd be there at this moment if you had not seen Unre4L and I pointing out your abuse of wikipedia as an admin.

    Also stop telling me about "giving around my background".I did that for a reason to rebuff your silly accusions about "attacking Muhajirs".--Nadirali نادرالی

    Really? Then is it a coincidence that the case was opened roughly 16 minitues after my complaint of your conduct and that 3 users (Unre4L,Fowler and I) agree on that factor.

    Tell me does criticising people for being too religious attacking anyone's religion? The only "evidence" you seem to have is words by us twisted to suit your alligations.

    I've seen many of the comments you've made to Unre4L and Szhaider as well as Fowler and I find them nowhere close to civility.I really think you should apologise to them.You've apologised to Fowler,but not Unre4L or Szhaider.Now if you'll excuse me there's some articles I'd like to work on.--Nadirali نادرالی

    I wrote the article.Don't chase Unre4L,I wrote it.

    I don't see who it's hurting as it's an important part of our history.--Nadirali نادرالی

    Regarding reverting edits of Kazi Nazrul Islam Page

    Dear Rama Arrow,

    Peace and greetings.

    This is Dr. Mohammad Omar Farooq. I am a Nazrul researcher and I maintain the only comprehensive website dedicated to the life and works of Nazrul. Indeed, the resources at the site were extensively used and referred to in putting together the Misplaced Pages article on Nazrul. My own writings on Nazrul have also been included in the reference section of the essay.

    Recently, while going through the Misplaced Pages article, I came across a particular information that is uncorroborated. Indeed, the particular reference given is not even accessible. Based on three leading biographies of Nazrul and additional research (that does not contradict the information provided in these biographies), I edited the part related to Nazrul's illness and treatment and added specific, corroborated information (including about the physicians who examined Nazrul and their diagnosis). It seems all my edits have been reverted by you.

    Since you have contributed so much to this page, obviously you have interest in this article. I am wondering if you can help me understand your reason to revert it. After all, if you care about Nazrul, I am sure you will like to have accurate information about him. Furthermore, as a Misplaced Pages contributor, we all must have interest in improving the pedia through better research and works.

    I would greatly appreciate if you can help me understand your decision to revert my edits.

    I can also be directly contacted at farooqm@globalwebpost.com.

    Best regards.

    Intervol

    Hi there, I was wondering under what grounds the article 'Intervol' was deleted by you? It may not have had references as yet but it is a constitution certified member of one of the largest and most well-respected universities in England. The page is useful as it gives readers of the main university of birmingham page more information if they want it. Please could I have a copy of the page so that I can correctly reference it and then re-include it. I would have much preferred some constructive criticism and help rather than a quiet removal. Is your role to simply remove the unreferenced material again and again or to teach people how to correctly assemble pages?
    Thank you for your time.
