Misplaced Pages

AAP-IAC edit war

Hello, ThinkingYouth, thanks for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. I was going through some fragments of the edit wars between you and AcorruptionfreeIndia on the pages Aam Aadmi Party and India Against Corruption. Somewhere I found a line you've inserted: "It was clear to everyone that the real face of the IAC wasn’t Anna Hazare. It was Arvind Kejriwal. Anna was the mascot. Arvind was the architect." I'm sure you understand the WP:NPOV issues regarding statements such as this. If indeed in an edit you insert a lot of relevant information, and then slip in such a blatant personal opinion, your entire edit is very likely to be reverted.

You're still in school (as the other guy mentioned), and you're making a mistake regarding Misplaced Pages. People do not form their political opinions from these articles: they only come here for reliable information, credible sources, and easy navigation to relevant topics. You may not like everything that goes up on the pages - no one does, I'm sure. You may find that unfair now, but someday you'll realise the importance of neutrality in these topics. Direct your passion to research which may improve the Misplaced Pages articles, instead of engaging in this senseless sparring, which may end up getting you blocked. I'm not saying, for example, that you're wrong and the more experienced editor is correct, but even without looking at the actual edits, his comments in the argument thread are much more sensible than yours (improving your grammar/punctuation is also extremely helpful in these situations, yes). Please try not to imagine evil editors roaming the place, ready to sabotage your political interests. However clichéd it may be, WP:AGF actually takes you a long way. And if you still feel you're a victim of personal attacks/vandalisation, there are always proper forums to address this. Check, for instance, WP:DE.

(I'll put a whisperback on the AcorruptionfreeIndia's talk page, so that he may give his views on this.)

Cheers, and keep up the good work. Bubka42 (talk) 08:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Reply : Thank you for your observations Editor Bubka42. I like to clarify your observations and your remarks and I humbly request you to please explain further,how i am making mistake about Misplaced Pages.

• First of all , I do not understand how ,My education as claimed by the editor AcorruptionfreeIndia , is relevant on this issue.
• I like to clarify you , The line "It was Arvind Kejriwal. Anna was the mascot. Arvind was the architect" is well sourced from third party published source " The tehelka News Magazine" read para 6 http://tehelka.com/the-kejriwal-conundrum/ and I request you to follow the "India against Corruption" Article page thoroughly to understand Editor AcorruptionfreeIndia was referencing the "same Tehlaka article" on various Article sub section himself . How this Line " Anna was the mascot. Arvind was the architect", is violation of WP:NPOV,when it is the fact stated by various newspapers and magazines and journals over the period and when there are numerous references WP:RS to back this i.e http://caravanmagazine.in/reportage/insurgent "Read Title description" and Read Para 2 of FirstPost Newspaper report http://www.firstpost.com/politics/why-arvind-kejriwal-deserves-our-unstinted-support-464782.html Please enlighten me on this issue.
• I understand the policy of Misplaced Pages standards & Norms and follow it very strictly .
• The Edit war you mentioned in "India against corruption" was the result of Editor AcorruptionfreeIndia blatant use of unverified claims in the article . Even editor Shovon agreed with this point and https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:ThinkingYouth_reported_by_User:AcorruptionfreeIndia_.28Result:_No_vio.2C_article_protected.29 Admin Editor User:Black_Kite recommended

The India Aagainst Corruption "IAC" article (in both versions) is very poorly written and contains large violations of original research, not to mention primary sourcing, stating opinions in Misplaced Pages's voice, MOS violations and borderline copyright violations. In short, it is a mess. It may be better to stub it and start again from scratch. Also, the reporting editor's AcorruptionfreeIndia username suggests they have a conflict of interest here.

• As new to Misplaced Pages, I am grooming myself with all rules and regulations and contributing to my knowledge based articles improvement with all accountability.
• As AcorruptionfreeIndia is a single purpose accounts , I requested and asked for third party Editor to resolve the dispute.
• As for "AAP" page edit war , it is resulatant of editor AcorruptionfreeIndia a single purpose account , continuous vandalism and deletion of well source articles WP:RS from well known third party published source.

I once again thank you for your observation.Please resolve this dispute . Have a Nice day ! ThinkingYouth  ThinkingYouth (talk) 09:31, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

You made an edit at 05:37 6 June 2013 (UTC) which has badly damaged the IAC article's Talk Page formatting. Please correct it. AcorruptionfreeIndia (talk) 07:48, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
