I notice that you are quite determined to have the words "Indian Poet" added to the mention of Rabindranath Tagore in the Auld Lang Syne article. While anyone can edit WIkipedia, anyone else can disagree with an edit and "revert" it. In this case I have made it clear (I hope) in my edit summaries that my reasons for NOT wanting to add these particular details to the the description of Rabindranath Tagore in this context. That he is a Nobel Laureate is very notable, and is quite rightly mentioned, that he is an "Indian poet" is pretty self evident. In fact by clicking on his name we go to his article - where we quickly discover he was a very eminent gentleman indeed - "Indian poet" is a very pale description for such a person. One might well argue that just leaving the Nobel prize winner bit in is a better tribute to him in this place (which is after all the article for a Scots folk song!)

If you still disagree, in fact if you think that adding the words "Indian poet" add important information to the Auld Lang Syne article, then "the thing to do" is to raise the question on the "talk page" for the article. If this, (or anything else about this site) confuses you - then there are many pages of explanation and instructions, a few of which I have highlighted above.

Again, welcome - and excuse me for being a little short on my edit summary. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 05:27, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
