Welcome

[edit]

Hello, Mightyocean, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Indian Navy have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Indian Navy. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you.

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

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, as you did at Indian Navy, you may be blocked from editing. That entry has been discussed many times before on the talk page and the general consensus amongst regular editors has been to consistently maintain WP:NPOV in the section header with that chosen version. Please work with us, not the other way around. Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 12:05, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Indian Navy#Invasion of Goa, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. LAST AND FINAL WARNING. Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 14:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Indian Navy. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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 continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 14:39, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-India view

[edit]

Dave, what you mean by original version. The version prior to XavierGreen's change? I strongly condemn the Anti-India bias by making it anti-India and pro Portuguese and Pro-colonial view. This must be changed. Anti-India view is unaccpetable, if you need you can have something like India Portuguese war or something. Else it need to be reverted back to the previous version by Xavier Green.Mightyocean (talk) 13:17, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also Wiki article on Annexation has this to say. "more positive terms like political union or reunification are sometimes preferred." So why should there be a term that's negative to India be used? Why not use reunification if you're fearful of the term liberation which may be synonymous with the reds for you?Mightyocean (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]
