[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Raninagar Jalpaiguri railway station a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. 220 of Borg 07:12, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your edits to this article because:

  • you did not provide sources for your edits;
  • you removed cleanup tags on the article without fixing the problems that they identified;
  • you removed a "citation needed" tag without providing a reverence to a reliable source -- see WP:V;
  • you added repeated links to the same topics -- see WP:OVERLINK; and
  • there were grammatical, punctuation and/or spacing problems in your edits.

Please be aware that if you continue to edit this way, you could be blocked from editing further. Please read the Wikipedia policies and guides linked above to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia in a constructive way. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 12:07, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • In this edit you mentioned The Jalpaiguri Places. I was intrigued to know what those places are, so I did a Google search, and found nothing at all about them except for the Wikipedia article. Are you sure that they are significant enough to warrant being mentioned? If so, you really need to provide sources. I also suggest that you might like to reconsider your edit summary. You expressed contempt for Ground Zero, who had replaced the reference to The Jalpaiguri Places with a reference to Jalpaiguri Palace, demanding to know if he was illiterate. However, perhaps you could be more sympathetic to one who is less knowledgeable than yourself, who had the misfortune to actually think that it was a palace that was being referred to. A Google search for "Jalpaiguri Palace" produced over 1700 hits, while a search for "The Jalpaiguri Places" produced only the Wikipedia article, as I said, so perhaps it is understandable that someone might make the mistake of thinking that it was the palace that was intended. (Obviously it can't be that you were mistaken, and it really was meant to be the palace, as nobody would do anything as ridiculous as shouting out "Listen .. r u illiterate?!! ..i mean, how come u revert my edit this way..kindly go through my edit, & better comment after u check" as an edit summary to an edit where they had not bothered to check what they were posting, and were in fact replacing correct content with nonsense.

[Thanks James]. Specifically, your edit summary violates Wikipedia:No personal attacks. This sort of behaviour is grounds for blocking you from editing. Please stop it.

With regard to your comments on my talk page:

  • I'm sorry for being a bit rude previously -- Thank you for your apology.
  • being an administrator does that mean that u wud revert edits of just anyone simply. - You are correct. I revert edits that violate Wikipedia policies. I have explained to you above how your edits violate Wikipedia policies.
  • u have NO right to comment or to fix up any such issues related to these articles on which u're NOT involved -- You are incorrect. "Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit." If you do not want your work to be edited, then you should set up your own webpage. Wikipedia is not a place where you can protect your work from editing by other people. I am involved in this article because I am trying to bring it up to Wikipedia standards, and in line with Wikipedia policies. I have done a lot of clean up on this article to improve it. Many of your edits have made the article worse, for the reasons I have explained.
  • U r NOT to simply abuse -- If you think that I am abusing my privileges as an administrator, there are procedures through which you can raise this issue with other administrators -- see Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/User_conduct#Use_of_administrator_privileges
  • I don' t wish to see any of ur stupid tags hanging within or around the article's page relating to neutrality dispute or edit warring, etc etc -- I don't think that I added most of those tags, but that is neither here nor there. In order to have them removed, you must improve the article to fix the problems. You can also start a discussion on the articles talk page to get the agreement of other editors to remove them.

This edit leads me to believe that you are not editing in good faith. Why did you change the founding date to 1823? That is clearly false. This edit appears to be vandalism, rather than a constructive attempt to improve Wikipedia. Ground Zero | t 13:41, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
