Semi-protected edit request on 1 September 2015

My name is K Vaitheeswaran. I am known as the father of e-commerce. Please search for "father of e-commerce in India" on Google and see results.

Some person called Vijay Shah is changing the Indiaplaza page on Wikipedia regularly. He is removing my name and inserting his name as the founder. Now the page is semi-locked.

Please verify independently and let me know how to edit the page with correct facts.

I can provide several media links also.

Partly done: - I have restored the revision of the article prior to the recent edit war. It appears that reliable sources have Mr. Vaitheeswaran as the founder and (former) CEO of this website; Vijay Shah is unknown to reliable sources, and the editor who added this info did not provide any (and stripped the existing sources). Therefore edits subsequent to the restored version are unverifiable. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 18:54, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Again the Indiaplaza page has been changed by Vijay Shah. This issue was addressed one year back

The Indiaplaza page has again been changed by Vijay Shah. I had made this request in Sep 2015 and the page was protected.

G'day, the article was semi protected due to recent edit warring by yourself. If you were trying to revert to the previously stable version from ([1]) from 18:52, 1 September 2015‎, my advice is that you should have provided this explanation in the edit summary, which might have helped I dream of horses and myself work out what was going on with the article. If it is your opinion that the article should be reverted back to what it was at 18:52 on 1 September 2015, please try to establish consensus for that on the talk page here. Providing some references that K Vaitheeswaran was involved with the company would be a good start. Looking at the diffs, I think you have a good case for restoring the old version; however, this topic is not one I have much knowledge of and part of me truly wonders whether this topic is notable enough for a Wikipedia entry. @I dream of horses: do you have an opinion about restoring the 18:52, 1 September 2015 version of the article? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 11:59, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

@Samirsavla: as you appear to have involved with changing the article to focus on Vijay Shah (i.e. per these edits [2]), can you please provide an explanation for your change and or a rebuttal to the proposal to restore the 18:52, 1 September 2015 version? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 12:04, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Not sure if Samirsavla is going to reply, but I'd say to go for it - per this Huffington Post article Vaitheeswaran was the founder. Cannolis (talk) 20:11, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

@AustralianRupert and Cannolis: I'd also say go for it---going back to the last stable version when necessary is standard procedure, far as I know, and the huffington post article is approaching reliable.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 22:32, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok, no worries, I have restored to the version from 18:52, 1 September 2015‎ and unprotected the article. I am concerned by the lack of references in several areas, though, so I have marked where these are necessary. 117.192.62.252: do you think you could help find references for the information that has been marked "citation needed"?
