editI 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)
JusticeIsTheOnlyRightRight, you are invited to the Teahouse!
editHi JusticeIsTheOnlyRightRight! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Come join other new editors at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a space where new editors can get help from other new editors. 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) This message was delivered automatically by your robot friend, HostBot (talk) 16:29, 5 October 2014 (UTC) |
Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, not a battleground
editWelcome 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)

A summary of site policies and guidelines you need to be aware of
edit- "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is. -- This means citing reliable sources.
- We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
- Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
- Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.
- Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
- Users should never make personal attacks on others. It's a good idea to avoid commenting on people, but on content, and then if necessary, actions. -- Constantly accusing others of injustice is a personal attack.
- Assume good faith as much as reasonably possible, and then about half-way past the border for unreasonable possibility. -- Accusing others of injustice is the opposite of assuming good faith.
Your recent edits
editHello 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:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- 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)
Your interactions with other editors
editNobody 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)
