Where is Eraly available in its entirety online? Certainly not at Google Books in the US or UK, nor at Amazon, DSAL and a few other regular "go to's". - Sitush (talk) 03:54, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bhupendra Chaubey

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bhupendra Chaubey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your addition to Babur has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

What are you doing at Babur? You are adding content that often is not relevant and that has been copied verbatim from books, eg: from this page. The hope is that the article can be brought up to Good Article standard but instead you are taking it further away. Sitush (talk) 05:33, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

I am trying to paraphrase and summarize to the extent possible while always giving the references, and recognizing that wikipedia articles are not the place for original research. Perhaps my edits could be paraphrased or summarized more adequately, but i challenge you to give a single edit where i have quoted verbatim from anywhere. This challenge applies even to the reference you have given. Could you please stop with the intimidation and start practicing more polite collaboration? In case you haven't noticed, i am not a newbie anymore.Soham321 (talk) 05:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 09:31, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Compassionate727 (talk) 14:57, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't see the point of including edit summaries in ANI discussions. Sorry. I do agree that edit summaries should ordinarily be given when editing any wikipedia article and normally i do give them. Sometimes if it is a question of adding a quote or comma or something small then i may not give it, but usually even here i do so. Sometimes i may not give the edit summary inadvertently. But for important edits i have been known to revert my own edit just so that i could put it back up again with the appropriate edit summary. Soham321 (talk) 15:01, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

The only thing that comes to mind is that it helps recent changes patrollers like me decide whether or not we need to check and see if the edit was vandalism. Compassionate727 (talk) 21:37, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Caste system in India. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sitush (talk) 15:56, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Your past history of assuming ownership of any article on which you are editing means these warnings of yours have no legitimacy. Your edit is completely nonsensical having no basis on facts. The caste system was not a creation of the British as you are falsely claiming in your edit; there are several mentions and descriptions of the caste system in ancient and medieval India. Your claim that i am stalking you (you made this claim in an edit summary of the main article) is laughable considering that you started editing certain wikipedia pages immediately after i started editing them. I refer now to Daily News and Analysis page and the Open magazine page. Your zeal to try and have the last word on India related pages is particularly amusing considering you have a poor opinion of Indians as reflected by one of your earlier posts: https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=666714511 Soham321 (talk) 16:04, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
