Indian Postal Service revert

Please give some form of justification for your revert of my edits to Indian Postal Service. My edits were completely legitimate and vastly improved the formatting and structure of the article, which had deviated significantly from the the standards set by the Manual of Style. You do not own the article. --Cybercobra (talk) 09:17, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Section headers

Hi, just a friendly note for future reference: Per Wikipedia's Manual of Style, section headers should be capitalized in sentence case (e.g. "==Origins and history=="), not all-caps (e.g. "==ORIGINS AND HISTORY=="). Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --Cybercobra (talk) 18:53, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

PLEASE AVOID ALL-CAPS

Hi. This is a friendly reminder that Wikipedia, per its Manual of Style, should almost never (direct quotes are perhaps the one exception I can think of) HAVE WORDS IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS. Please try to keep this in mind when editing Indian Postal Service in the future.

Kind Regards, --Cybercobra (talk) 10:39, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Citing

Hi, could you please take a read of WP:Citing sources? You are making a bit of a mess of things at Indian Postal Service because your sources are neither correctly integrated into the article nor, in many cases, reliable. It is not enough just to find a website that supports a statement, nor is it ever acceptable to use another Wikipedia article as a source. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 16:00, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

My revert at Indian Postal Service

WP:MOSHEAD explains most of my revert at Indian Postal Service - the headings are ridiculously long and unnecessarily detailed. The remainder of my revert reinstates the {{unreferenced section}} templates that you removed without actually addressing the problems indicated by them. - Sitush (talk) 15:26, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Same again. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 16:29, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Sirji! The whole article is about the Post services of India. Why do you want to write "of India" "of India" in all section headers? India got independence on 15.08.1947. When "Independence day" is said, what is the point in writing the date in the headers? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 16:40, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

October 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Indian Postal Service. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sitush (talk) 16:51, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

STOP

You really need to stop for a minute on Indian Postal Service, Mr. Postmaster. Wikipedia has very strict rules on how many times you can revert on an article page, and you have passed that line already. Most admins would just block you, but I'm going to try to prevent you from being blocked, but it starts with you stopping and listening.

I can tell that you probably know more about the subject matter than anyone else. This is good, but it isn't enough. Wikipedia's goals are to be accurate, but everything must be sourced from reliable sources (ie: newspapers, books, government documents, you know, stuff that anyone would generally accept as being factually correct). To use an Americanism (Sorry, I'm a Yank, it is what I know best): Wikipedia isn't interest in The Truth, it is interested in documenting facts that can be verified in these sources. Plus, it is a collaborative affair, we work together, not in competition.

You need to go to the talk page, explain the changes you want made, give others the chance to help you find sources to demonstrate you are right. Think about it, we don't know you personally. Even though I take you at your word, we are an encyclopedia so we are forced to require that everyone source their facts and be treated equally. I'm 47 years old, an admin here, and there are a few fields that I would unquestionably be considered an expert at, but I have to do the exact same thing I'm asking you. I'm held to the same standard as you, and as a high school student, or a Harvard Professor would be held to. Wikipedia is the great equalizer in this. This also means that I am supposed to block you for all those reverts, but I can tell you are not trying to be disruptive and you simply do not understand how we do things here, so I won't if you will simply follow this advice and use the talk page for a day or two, and not use more than 2 or 3 reverts of any kind on any article in any one day in the future, the same standard we all follow.

An interesting read is WP:BRD (Be Bold, Revert, then Discuss), which does a pretty good job of explaining how we work here. Welcome to Wikipedia, and I am glad you are here and hope you stick around and help us make the articles even better, but I'm sure you understand that we all must work by the same rules or it would be chaos here. If you have questions or a problem, you are invited to stop by my talk page, or you can try WP:HELP or The Teahouse (that is a great place for new users, trust me!). My goal is to help you get up to speed with the basics here, so you can rapidly begin enjoying the experience of being an editor here, and get passed these unfortunate but necessary warnings.

Philately museum

Hi, I am not sure if it was you who added the info about the Philately Museum but if we can get it reliably sourced then we can (and probably should) move it out of Indian Postal Service into its own article. It would definitely be notable and we do maintain categories for such things. We'd link to it from the IPS article if necessary. Does this sound reasonable to you? Can you help with that? I am not even sure what the official name is for the thing. - Sitush (talk) 19:16, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I have made a start at National Philatelic Museum, New Delhi. - Sitush (talk) 19:33, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
