Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on 2022 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Venkat TL (talk) 11:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * The matter has been discussed in detail at Talk:2022_Uttar_Pradesh_Legislative_Assembly_election. you are edit warring. There is no such rule to add paid opinion polls. If you add it again, I will have to report the edit warring to administrators. Venkat TL (talk) 11:58, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * These are controversial polls. They are are currently being discussed on the talk page at Talk:2022_Uttar_Pradesh_Legislative_Assembly_election  A Consensus version will be added after discussion. Until then please do not restore the section Venkat TL (talk) 12:37, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Discussion regarding wiki article of up 2022 legislative assembly elections
It was observed by me that in an edit you added opinion poll by an agency 'DB Live' which was not Dainik Bhaskar but you cited it as Dainik Bhaskar's article. When I edited it, you took the discussion in different way that according to an article by Dainik Bhaskar that 90% opinion polls are incorrect.This discussion should be made point wise: I say it again that that this phenomenon is not new, even exit polls of 2019 Australian elections proved to be wrong. Opinion polls are done and published to know which way the opinion of public is shaping. Kindly refer to any wiki article on any poll whether Indian or any other, Subsections include opinion poll then followed by exit polls and then followed by result for a comparative study that how events affected the election scenario and what were the calendar wise trends of a specific election. With due respect I request you to read any other poll-based article on Wikipedia. The article is based on selective data and prejudices. I can discuss this with follwing points There is not a single proof or evidence in public if the opinion polls are being influenced by any political or muscle power. It was your personal opinion that opinion polls are influenced and you were forcing your personal opinion on me threatening me of blocking my account but with due respect I ask you why every Wikipedia election based article across the world includes them? Kindly don't be selective towards data and be liberal towards each idea. With due regards I again request you to refer any other election article as reference how every poll-based election looks like and how comparative studies are important in future of an election too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akashphougat27 (talk • contribs) 13:17, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * coming on the sanctity of opinion polls and why every poll page on Wikipedia has a section of opinion polls, exit polls and result comparison
 * Regarding the 'Dainik Bhaskar' article you've shared
 * Regarding UP polls 2017- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Uttar_Pradesh_Legislative_Assembly_election refer to this article, not one opinion poll was completely correct compared to results and even many exit polls were wrong in predicting this but still this section has not been removed because this is part of convention.
 * Bengal polls- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_West_Bengal_Legislative_Assembly_election Only one opinion poll predicted BJP to win election with 183 seats rest other polls projected TMC to win that election but the article you shared only picked that figure which shows prejudices and conservatism of author.
 * Puducherry polls- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Puducherry_Legislative_Assembly_election Not even a single opinion poll projected victory of UPA and Congress but the dainik bhaskar article cited an incorrect figure of 24 seats for congress.
 * Bihar elections- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Bihar_Legislative_Assembly_election Bihar election opinion polls showed a mixed response and this was all due to higher voting percentage of women in that election in favor of NDA which was not expected in exit polls and the same was analyzed by many pollsters through data provided by election commission. But still the data is published on the article to show the failure of opinion polls and exit polls in predicting or calling an election.
 * Irony is that you've objected in publishing opinion polls on Wikipedia but the article(dainik bhaskar) itself shares a screenshot from wiki article on up polls of opinion polls section this shows transparency of Wikipedia.
 * Lack of references in the article, strong language and absence of author's name pit suspicion on sanctity of article and appears to be opinion rather than being an informative analysis as opinion of only one political party's leader was added and no proof regarding sanctity of opinion polls was provided if they were influenced by money power.
 * The warning I got on my talk page that there is no rule of adding paid opinion polls on Wikipedia
 * @Akashphougat27 No one other than you is confused between DB Live and Dainik Bhaskar. Look There is no rule that Election article MUST include opinion polls. UP polls have been disputed and are being discussed. If WP:CONSENSUS is achieved, they will be added. Please work to achieve the consensus. You can reply on the talk page of the article.

 * Please read this . The author has explained the situation in a much better way. Venkat TL (talk) 14:09, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for commenting in detail. Please read the article below to understand the main concern points.
 * 'DB Live' is different from Dainik Bhaskar There is no confusion in this regard in anyone's mind. Dainik Bhaskar have referenced and reported on the Poll results of DBLive. DB Live is the primary source of the information. Dainik Bhaskar a reliable newspaper is the secondary source of the same information. Read WP:PSTS to understand the difference.
 * I know that there are pages on election with Opinion polls. The problem with the polls in this election are that they are wildly inaccurate and being reported to ECI.
 * 'Dainik Bhaskar' is a reliable newspaper.
 * There is no convention that Wikipedia has to report wild and inaccurate polls that have been disputed both by Political parties as well as national newspapers.
 * Bhaskar article have used Graphics of the polls in one table. The source of that information is not wikipedia but the respective polls. Wikipedia is not in the business of producing polls.
 * You were warned for not using the talk page for discussion and continuing the WP:EDITWAR.
 * Once you read the links I posted, we will continue our discussion. Thanks for your patience. Venkat TL (talk) 14:44, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
