Asim Butt (artist)

[edit]

Hi. I notice that you twice removed information about Butt's suicide from his article, but have not explained why you feel it should be removed. Can you please give details of why you think it should be removed on the article's talk page (here), and wait to see if anybody has any objections to the removal or any other thoughts, before removing it again. Thanks TigerShark (talk) 18:54, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have removed the material again without any explanation.[1] This is not acceptable behaviour and if you persist, you are likely to be blocked from editing. See also Wikipedia:Edit warring, in particular Wikipedia:3RR#The_three-revert_rule. If you have an issue with this material, please raise it on the talk (discussion) page of the article.

Apologies to everyone for my previous edits with no explanation. I am new to wikipedia as an editor and was not aware and have only just worked out how to respond. My understanding of an encyclopedia is that it is a 'Reference work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or that treats a particular branch of knowledge comprehensively.' The section on Asim's death is more or a speculative news blurb and is neither authenticated, nor comprehensive. References to his family and to notions of fair play or the lack thereof are entirely inappropriate and unsubstantiated. There is also the issue of timeliness. There are many broken hearts and torn emotions amongst Asim's friends and family. Surely the publication of details around his death can wait until such point that there is certainty. Hearsay belongs in a blog if anywhere at all. Hence I request that if mention of the nature of his death must be made it is restricted to words that sound some what as follows: Reportedly Asim Butt committed suicide.

Inclusion of material is by WP:CONSENSUS of editors and the article talk page is used to make points concerning what material to include. See WP:BRD. Use the edit summary box to sum up an edit. This summary then appears in the history (click "history" tab at the top of any page to see its edit history). Perhaps you could contribute more material about Asim Butt's life and art. This should be taken from reliable sources. See referencing guide below. Ty 08:15, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also please note per WP:SOCK that only one user name should be used for editing, and make sure you are logged in with that, or else the IP address is logged publicly. Ty 07:04, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
