AfD Nomination: Anadish Pal[edit]

I've nominated the article Anadish Pal for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Anadish Pal satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anadish Pal. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Anadish Pal during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. --Edcolins 21:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the original contributor of the article, I have done my best in my limited time to gather sufficient references. I illustrated the inclusion of persons like Shikhar Dhawan into Wikipedia. Even otherwise, the India section has very few Indians who represent India in any significant way. The efficiency of the experienced Wikipedia editors is remarkable, however they are requested to have a wide-angle view of a cross section of articles in Wikipedia: Cottonmother 14:10, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let the biographied chap grow younger! Ok, let us remove any allusions to his date of birth! When I meet him, I'll ask him to show me his passport!! -- Cottonmother 17:56, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

September 2017[edit]

Your recent editing history at Gravitational wave shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Cottonmother reported by User:JohnBlackburne (Result: ). Thank you. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:32, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I request all the users involved in the discussion to kindly read the talk page of the article in question. User:Cottonmother

September 2017[edit]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Gravitational wave. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Specifically, accusations of vandalism and ganging up are inappropriate (and unsupported). The reporting of your violation of 3RR was appropriate and done in good faith. Deacon Vorbis (talk) 17:47, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just reminded you of using extreme expletives involving generally-unmentionable body parts; and objected to such usage. The other fact that the rapidity of 4 or so editors congealing to get into a managed edit war was suspicious enough to be pointed out. It is not a personal attack on any of you. It is the criticism of your approach belied first by your use of expletives without reason. Hope, everything settles down; and we refrain from using such expletives (even if they are somewhat allowed by Wikipedia). Ganging up is not unsupported at all, the time stamps of the edits show it all. First, all the 350 or so editors are oblivious for 2 months and then a dozen or so from one region show up as piranhas, indeed. Why aren't the other editors objecting to my edit of 12 July 2017, besides the group of adamant deleters? Hope, others too have a comment or two to make. User:Nihlus Kryik on the article's talk page is already accepting the entry of the patent link in the main article in a creative manner. WP:Patent only objects to un-granted patent applications being produced as references. The patent in question is serious, granted, and maintained. User:Cottonmother — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cottonmother (talk • contribs) 21:28, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A couple things. First, as I've already explained to you, "my ass" is not an "extreme expletive", nor are asses unmentionable (here's one dictionary's definition which doesn't even bother marking it vulgar). However, your objection to that is not why I left the warning on your talk page. You're failing to assume good faith on the part of other editors and throwing around language that implies that we're in cahoots. We are not. You've also made accusations of vandalism. See WP:NOTVANDALISM for why this is inappropriate. Finally (and this should really be on the article's talk page instead of here, but it's short so I'll just keep going), you should double-check the history at Gravitational wave. The IP edit in question, here was vandalism (probably), and TwoTwoHello's reverting of it was routine, and by no means an endorsement of your previous addition. The vandalism edit added 4 characters of gibberish and had nothing to do with your previous addition. I even already pointed this out to you before but you're still making this claim. --Deacon Vorbis (talk) 13:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now going by your non-vulgar "mentionable" usage standards of your ass as well as my ass, the respective "swollen" buttocks have reached an extremely shitty point of repetitive exhaustion. Cottonmother (talk) 04:37, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
