Your edits to Sino-Mauritian

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Since you have already been reverted once by GlassCobra, please don't continue to delete the content; instead see Talk:Sino-Mauritian for further discussion. Also the links you restored in the "See also" section are already in the navigation template below, so there's no need for them to be there. Thanks, cab (talk) 04:41, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. The reason I removed the edit by GlassCobra without any justification was precisely because he reverted my edits without any reason or justification. All the edits I restored were previously justified when I wrote them in the first place. Kindly check. Thank you for your understanding:)Ju CAN (talk) 19:20, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your patience and your detailed reply. My mistake. Cheers, cab (talk) 00:15, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Mauritians

I disagree. That is not borderline vandalism. What is already there is totally un-wiki. Take a look at this for instance:

It appears that English and French can co-exist in harmony here

This is completely un-wiki (not to mention POV). There is a certain standerd at which we try and work here, and there is too much wrong with that section to even begin describing. Please take a look at the standerd set by all the other pages, and please research things clearly before leaving me comments accusing me of "borderline vandalism". Certainly, it is sourced, but there is a system! We are not writing a guide book. You might as well write "Mauritius has captivating beaches" or something similar if you agree with the standards of that page.

Please note also - the un-wiki material, if left, can be counted as vandalism in a way. Again, please study the rest of wikipedia carefully before determining how things should be done around here --Maurice45 (talk) 19:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

First of all, we are all adults here and maybe you did not intend to do so, but justifications such as "pfft", "ridiculous", "ridiculous copying continues" are against the policies of Wikipedia and have been reported. Please read about it Wikipedia:Civility. Quote: These behaviors can all contribute to an uncivil environment: "Ridiculing comments from other editors, rather than making serious criticism of them".

About the sentence "It appears that English and French can co-exist in harmony here", I agree with the modification and that is why I encouraged you to modify the style. However, this does NOT justify the previous deletion of at least two whole paragraphs backed up by references just for ONE sentence. Thank you.

Forums, etc.

Please note that Wikipedia does not accept forums as an acceptable source of information. Most Forums contain POV. Some information on the Mauritius pag (language section) contains some POV information sourced from forums --Maurice45 (talk) 20:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

• On this note, the following phrase, copied word-for-word from a forum, will be removed:

Only in parliament is English stipulated as the official language—but lawmakers are allowed to address the speaker in French

Please see Wikipedia's policy, and the following link, for more details: http://www.antimoon.com/forum/t12090.htm

Also try:

• What Wikipedia is Not

• What Wikipedia is Not #2

--Maurice45 (talk) 20:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Again, please read carefully before removing whole paragrapĥs and sentences. That statement was backed up by three links: One from the yahoo news, one from the antimoon forum (where the yahoo news article was cited as reference. It's not as if a random forum post by someone was cited) and one from the government website. I removed the forum link as per your request and feel free to remove the yahoo news one too. However, the government link is a reliable source.

Again, please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an open space where people can contribute together to make it better. This does not mean that one should feel entitled to one section and use it as personal writing space where deletion and additions are based on subjectivity. Thank you for your understanding.

PS: Found a link with the article cited on the forum: http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gn6YyJpIZpbt91LA3lwzKzWG6UXA
