Syrian Malabar Nasrani

edit

The article stated that DNA proves descent from diaspora Jews. Actually there is no WP:RELY reference stating this at all, just a claim that "there will be surprises." This section cannot be used until there is genuine proof by an objective, scholarly observer, which is unlikely to be a member of this group. Please do not reinsert it with a reliable reference. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 14:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

need help in fighting vandalism

edit

Dear Marxist101,

A new editor engaging in vandalism has come with the name user:student7 and creating new pages with his own version of personal opinion of Syrian Malabar Nasrani history. The new page created by the vandal is History of the Saint Thomas Christians. The page he has created is a duplication of a page and information that already exists in wikipedia articles (Saint Thomas Christian tradition), BUT he has removed references and passages that he does not agree with. He has created an entire new page only to put his POV on the topic. He uses different I.P. addresses and creates new ids and presents himself as a decent editor while only using anonymous I.P. address to engage in vandalism. He claims in the talk pages that he has created the new page only as a new stand alone page. He says that he has only copied passages from other wikipedia pages. But actually he has inserted a tremendous amount of his own views into the referenced passages and has removed passages that he does not agree with personally.

His true purpose of creating the the page is to remove passages that refer to Jewish tradition of the Syrian malabar nasrani people of kerala. He is a vandal involved in gross vandalism but masquerading as an editor. I had initially redirected the page to the older page that was edited by several hundreds of editors over several years but he has reverted that. He has been vandalising pages, especially thos concerned with syrian malabar nasrani for a long time. But no editor seems to bother. This would lead to the destruction of wikipedia. Please help to fight this vandalism. Vagab (talk) 00:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Marixist101,

The vandalism on Saint Thomas Christian topics have not ended. The editors have given consensus to redirect the newly created page duplication History of the Saint Thomas Christians created by user:student7 to the already existing page Saint Thomas Christian tradition. But user:student7 is still trying to edit the page History of the Saint Thomas Christians that he has created by trying to remove the merger tag. Even though the editors have asked for it to be redirected to the already existing page Saint Thomas Christian tradition Vagab (talk) 18:18, 26 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Some of your recent edits broke this page; I've repaired it but you may want to check as some of the info you were adding might have been lost. pablohablo. 22:37, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Euro, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you.

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Euro. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit and is especially useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 08:54, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Anime, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. DKqwerty (talk) 15:39, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
