Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Reply to email RE:Sri Lanka Signals Corps
Hello

This is a reply to the email you just sent me- I thought it was best to reply on Wikipedia itself, since a problem seems to have come up.

The problem here is, Santhndk, that you're undoing edits without giving any reason why you're doing them. You're also not following the rules on Wikipedia, and you're making the article worse in terms of references. I understand that you're trying to improve the article, but you need to understand that that's what I'm trying to do as well. Let me try and explain what's going on here.

First, I notice you've rolled back both edits I've done. In both of those edits, I removed the postnominals like 'psc' and 'ndu' because I felt it was pointless to have so many of them in one article- the article ends up looking like an Army website, not an encyclopedia article. Have a look at other Wikipedia articles for military units- you wont find them full of postnominals, because the ordinary reader isn't here to look at what awards the officers have- they're interested in reading about the Signals Corps. What does RWP and USP and the other postnominals add to the article other than confusing a non-Sri Lankan reader? If I were a foreigner reading that article, how would I know what these letters were? Instead of undoing the edits and sending me an email telling me not to edit the article and stay off the page, you could've written a message on my talkpage and we could have discussed this and come to an agreement.

Second, the article doesn't have any sources or references (WP:CS). If you look at the top of the page, you see that there's a box for this exact same reason, asking people to add sources for the information on the page. This is one of the main rules of Wikipedia: WP:VER. You can't just add information because you're in the Signals Corps and claim it's the 'correct' details. Most of the edits I did before you started editing the page were from the Signals Corps webpage- I was about to add some references for the information I added when you started editing the page again, and now, I'm quite sure the details on the article and the details on the website don't match. So now, it's impossible to add any references to that page, because the only source for a lot of that information is you. There's no official website or news article or book to give as a reference.

So the question is, how do we fix this? - ක - (talk) 15:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Hi Sanathndk, unfortunately you've had more than sufficient time to respond both at ANI and to the preceding attempt to communicate with you. Communication is required. You can't just revert an editor and contact them off-wiki telling them not to edit the page. If you want to continue editing here, you need to show us you're willing to communicate.
