Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Abhinav Bindra, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. --Gurubrahma 20:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abhinav, I saw your note to Gurubrahma [1]. I feel very sorry that your edit was deleted, as you obviously put a great deal of effort into your edit. I believe that the other editor who deleted your edit feels that the information that you gave was not useful to most people, or not the sort of thing that belongs in an encyclopedia article. My suggestion to avoid future disappointments like this is to make only small changes at a time, and see how people react to them, or to discuss the sorts of changes you would like to make on the talk page first. I also have had things that I wrote deleted, and I know it is no fun. I copied your edits and saves them to the talk page of the article in case there is anything you would like to save, or if you can get other editors to agree to your changes without deleting them. (Did I miss anything?) I am also adding a welcome paragraph to your talk page here, which discusses many of the policies of Wikipedia. Knowing these policies will help you. If there is anything else I can do to help, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. --BostonMA 01:24, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abhinav, I see that you added the vocabulary list again. Please discuss why you feel it is something useful to the encyclopedia on the talk page [2] (with the tab "discussion") for the article. It is likely that other editors will remove it again, so you need to try to build WP:Consensus for your changes. Sincerely --BostonMA 22:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abhinav, did you see my notes above? Please do not add new messages to any of my archive pages, but to the page User talk:BostonMA. That is, don't click on any links from that page to another page. Thanks. --BostonMA 23:54, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for yout note on my talk page [3]. I recognize the frustration you must feel. Unfortunately, Wikipedia isn't intended as a place in which one might post notes for classmates (see WP:NOT), nor is it a place to display "school research" (see WP:NOR). There are, of course, other venues at which such information might be easily posted (MySpace comes to mind). I hope this helps. Victoriagirl 16:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Abhinav, in response to your last post on my user page [4], you'll note that I had nothing to do with the last deletion of your contributions to In the Skin of a Lion.[5] That said, I support the edit. Simply put, "LITTLE SEEDS ~ Geography book... Caspian, Nepal and Durango. ~ Patrick has a father. ~ Riverdale library. ~ Double-ocarina from his pocket..." is, as I have already written, not encyclopedic. I'll thank you to refrain from making personal attacks. Victoriagirl 02:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abhinav. I would like to add something to what Victoriagirl wrote. You wrote on her talk page "U erase.. i will repaste!!". On Wikipedia, such actions are called edit warring. Edit warring can result in you being blocked from editting Wikipedia. You should make an attempt to understand the arguments against your addition. Wikipedia has a guideline of consensus. Please be sure to read that guideline. Thanks. --BostonMA 04:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Abhinav. I prefer to discuss the article with you here on Wikipedia, rather than via email. Please be aware that Victoriagirl removed your edits the first time, but I removed them the second time. There is no consensus for your edits, and you should not start edit warring over this. Victoriagirl and I, and I believe most editors of Wikipedia would believe that rough notes for your class are not appropriate content for a Wikipedia article. If you wish to describe the storyline of the book in complete sentences, that might be useful. My suggestion is that you write a storyline summary in complete sentences. Do not make it too extensive. Look at the Wikipedia articles for other books to get an idea of what editors are likely to consider appropriate. Then paste that storyline summary on the talk page so that other editors may comment on it. I think that would be more likely to bring you success than edit warring. Sincerely, --BostonMA 16:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Heyy.. thnx. That was a better explanation.. lol. I hope no one deletes the storyline i will post soon... kk.. i get it... Lemme noe wht u think about it. 572766 17:00, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

editHi 572766. Unfortunately, the big and nice-reading additions you made to the articles on these cricketers were copied directly from other sources, and that breaches copyright law. So they have had to be reverted. The words at Wikipedia:Copyrights are helpful if you need guidance about what can and what can't be used. Johnlp 09:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok... thnx 572766 21:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
