regarding your recent edits to Arbitration
[edit]Hi @Tomwan17:, i was just checking by and saw your recent edits to Arbitration. As I mentioned in the welcome message, your edits have been reverted because they didn't provide a valid source. Moreover, you should consider using edit summaries for all edits you make! Now, if you want to re add those, you can go to the page and edit it again. Please provide valid citation for every thing you add. A citation to a reputable source is required for any content on Wikipedia. Lastly, i saw the edits and believe they are necessary. If you can't find valid citation, consider a discussion on the article talk page itself! Thank you and welcome once again! Yashovardhan (talk) 03:08, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi @Yashovardhan Dhanania and Yashovardhan:, thank you for your attention on my edit. I realise that citation is necessary, but such thing like which country enacted which law in which year, no one will provide citation in legal textbooks or legal articles. It is simply a fact that no citation is needed and feasible (to cite the official journal of the congress, for example), the same as the year in which Newton was born and died. But I respect your authority and will leave the article as it was. Tomwan17 (talk) 10:27, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Tomwan17: thanks for getting back! Since you can't find a citation, i suggest recommending these changes at the article talk page to discuss the issue with those interested in the article. You might find some people willing to help you in finding proper citation for such changes. However, as you said, don't change the article until you find proper citations! Thanks!
P.S. I don't command any special authority here. I'm just a regular editor like you or anyone else! Yashovardhan (talk) 12:18, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi @Yashovardhan Dhanania and Yashovardhan:, thanks for your message. It is not that I can't find a citation. I can. What I meant is that, for some content concerning opinion or valuation surely I can add citation, but you also deleted some description like which country enacted arbitration law in which year, and asked me to provide citation for that. I guess you are not a international lawyer on arbitration, so that you insist on this point. But anyway, please never mind, since you have deleted them, let it be like that. No need for further discussion. Honestly I also don't have time for that. Many thanks again for your attention! Bye! Tomwan17 (talk) 15:10, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Tomwan17: Ok, No problem! I am of course not a lawyer :) Just a Wikipedian! If you don't have time, you are obviously under no obligation. Oh, and as for deleting the content, its safely archived in the article history. You can go to the article and check the history to find all your edits there! Thanks again!
