User talk:Gaurav S. Shahane

Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!  RepublicanJacobite  TheFortyFive 02:26, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

September 2011
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Navel. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.  RepublicanJacobite  TheFortyFive 16:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You did the same thing with the material you added to the plot section of The Godfather. Plot sections do not have to be sourced because they are based on the film itself, but that means that they can only contain straightforward description of the film, and no analysis or interpretation.  You cannot say, for instance, what a character is thinking or feeling unless the character explicitly says it, because that would be your personal analysis.  You might well be right, but such material requires a citation from a reliable source to support it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:15, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

The Godfather Part II
Three different editors have now reverted your additions to the plot section of this article as being too detailed. I think you can take this as a consensus, and you should stop adding this material. Please be aware that some time ago there was a major discussion about the length of the plot section, with some editors wanting to cut it down drastically. I and other editors argued that with such a complex film, the longer than usual section was justified, but we carefully went through and brought it down to a length that everyone could agree on. (You'll find this discussion on the article talk page or in the archives.) Given this background, continuing to add unnecessary material can only open a can of worms, so please stop. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:08, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

April 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Amitabh Bachchan, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

May 2012
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you may be blocked from editing.

Please read this policy. You seem to have a mistaken idea of the purpose of Wikipedia articles. They are not here for you to add your thoughts and ideas about how great certain films or actors are, and you cannot make claims about their success, or the reasons for their success, unless you can produces cites from reliable sources that say it.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Shahrukh Khan, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=491994797 here]. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 12:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Amitabh Bachchan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Billion (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Amitabh Bachchan edits
Please be careful of what you are doing on this page. You are removing proper links. Click on Trishul (film) and on Trishul, and you will see the difference. You are removing proper formats. Since it is a film, it should be italicized as Trishul, which you also removed. Also please read WP:PEACOCK to see that you are puffing up Bachchan too much with your additions. He doesn't need your help; the facts stand alone. You are also giving WP:Citation overkill. Oh, and these edits are definitely not minor, as you are marking them. BollyJeff &#124;  talk  15:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, and would add that a lot of your sources are very poor. In fact, I am tempted to revert all of your edits pending some sort of discussion. It is very unusual for such a high-profile article to require the vast number of edits that you have been applying. - Sitush (talk) 07:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Please stop making these contributions now. Go to Talk:Amitabh Bachchan and propose what ever changes you wish but please do not keep inserting this stuff without consensus: at least three editors of good standing have reverted you and this is significant. You need to seek consensus. - Sitush (talk) 11:20, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * There you go again. BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  12:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * ... and again. Now stop it, please. Discuss on the talk page. - Sitush (talk) 12:48, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

November 2012
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Amitabh Bachchan. 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. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Sitush (talk) 20:58, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
