Welcome!

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, HealthMind, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Please respect your fellow Wikipedians, remain neutral, cite your sources, and if a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it.

• Edit a page by clicking 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page.
• Use the Wikipedia sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.
• Sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username and the date.
• Cite your sources using <ref></ref> tags. For example, type <ref>Example reference. http://www.example.com. Accessed January 1, 1900.</ref> to produce this tag:

• To create an article, use the article wizard.
• Consider joining a WikiProject.
• Use two apostrophes for italic text (''italic text''), three apostrophes for bold text ('''bold text'''), five apostrophes for bold and italic text ('''''Bold and italic text'''''), two brackets for an internal link ([[page name]]), two brackets and a pipe (|) for an internal link with different text to be displayed ([[page name|text to be displayed]]), the link, including the http:// prefix, for external links (http://www.example.com), one bracket and a space for an external link with different text to be displayed ([http://www.example.com Text to be displayed]), and two curly brackets for {{templates}}. See this page for more formatting marks.

Request for Semi-Protecting a page Vivek Kundra

{{Helpme}}

I seem to be entering into an edit war with an IP address (changing) insisting on vandalizing a BLP. Seems political. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vivek_Kundra&action=history Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks -- HealthMind (talk) 01:16, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

1. Thank you for reverting vandalism! It is not an edit war if they are vandalizing the article.

2. Request for page protection at Requests for Page Protection. Thanks! Samwb123^{Please read} 01:24, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

No, it /is/ and edit war because they /did/ provide sources. It needs

to be correctly cited and worded, but that is no excuse for reverting it.  fetchcomms☛ 01:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

The refernces are simply random articles on phishing, and spam, and the Google account being hacked in China!! As I read the BLP policy all poorly sourced or irrelevant edits should be reverted immediately. --HealthMind (talk) 01:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

To quote WP:BLP "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.[2] As of January 2010, a push to source all material about living persons is under way."

This content has nothing to do with the subject of the BLP

"Content should be sourced to reliable sources and should be about the subject of the article specifically. Beware of claims that rely on guilt by association. Look out for biased or malicious content about living persons. If someone appears to be promoting a biased point of view, insist on reliable third-party published sources and a clear demonstration of relevance to the person's notability." -- HealthMind (talk) 01:37, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
