I understand why you did this but such changes virtually always require discussion, and that has already taken place at Talk:Oriya language#Requested move. I've reverted you. Dougweller (talk) 11:22, 5 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

These editors have also just begun editing Wikipedia; they may have had similar experiences as you. Come share your experiences, ask questions, and get advice from your peers. I hope to see you there! Jtmorgan (I'm a Teahouse host)

Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, not a battleground

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on User talk:Dougweller. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, where users discuss and summarize how reliable (academic) sources handle material. It is not a battleground, nor a place to crusade for personal beliefs. Accusations of misdoing without evidence are regarded as personal attacks, which are not allowed. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:56, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also, new messages go at the bottom of the page. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:57, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits

edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:08, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your interactions with other editors

edit

Nobody has "reduced you to human filth." You have, unfortunately, adopted a profoundly hostile attitude toward everyone you've encountered. Please remember that Wikipedia is a collaborative work, and that you must treat other editors with respect. You found something that may need to be corrected: that's valuable, but it's not something that would automatically be apparent to editors who are not familiar with the subject. Dougweller offered to help: you instead attacked him, which makes most people reluctant to offer further help. Please treat other editors as you wish to be treated.Please remember that while the legislation may have renamed the language in Indian law, Wikipedia goes by common usage in scholarly and media sources, and if it's not in widespread use, it should not be renamed on Wikipedia, just noted in the article. Please provide sources that indicate common usage, and please review the 2013 discussion mentioned by Dougweller (Talk:Oriya_language#Requested_move), where the change was considered and rejected. Do you ahve new sources that might influence a new discussion? Acroterion (talk) 22:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
