Hi Bhadani, Since you are one of the most experienced Wikipedians, I thought it would be wise to get your opinion. In February 2007, we had an RfC on the [[Talk:India]] page concerning addition of new material (see [[Talk:India/Archive_23#Summary_of_RfC_conducted_in_late_January.2Fearly_February_2007.__Topic:_Adding_new_material_to_the_India_page_history_section|here]]), and it was felt by a majority of the people commenting that stability of the article is important. Yesterday, out of the blue, Blnguyen, who has no history of editing on the India page, made a post on the page, that has created a lot of confusion. Could you take a look at [[Talk:India#Article_should_be_expanded|this section]] of the [[Talk:India]] page? In particular, [[User:Sarvagnya]], for example, has returned to his scheme for de-constructing the India page. (By way of background: Nichalp, who usually watched over the article is busy this summer; Ragib, who was subbing for Nichalp is busy too. Blnguyen seems to think that the page is in bad shape and is about to be de-FA'd. He feels that it needs many more citations (and their lack) is reason enough for it to fail an FAR. Nichalp, when he was active, discouraged over-crowding the text with too many citations (especially when the text was composed in the summary-style, as India is). I think Blnguyen has some valid points: the page needs more (and certainly ''better'') citations and the prose (especially of some new sections that were created by other people) needs revamping, but I think you might be in a good position to assess Blnguyen's idea of expanding the article to twice its size.)

Choice in Chaos
Autobiography of a Wikipedian
When a building is on fire, a leader will not survey everyone to see what the consensus is about a response.
It is time for action.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost

Thapar

Bhadani, Can you please explain your edits in thapar's article. Please see that E.M.S is considered as a very eminent personality & also the source cited is from the "Marxist", a very reputed publication.-Bharatveer 07:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)Bharatveer 07:22, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted an edit made by Outlookeditor [[1]] who is strangely very silent on the matter, and presumably accepts the revert. I have also protected the page as per the link to the discussion given in the edit summary. You are welcome to carry out the discussion on the article's talk page, and I trust that other editors involved in editing the page (like Hornplease) have already given the reasons and no further explanations and clarifications are required. In any case, if you still have concerns, please feel free to take up the issue at BLP noticeboard for better analysis of the issue. Thanks. --Bhadani (talk) 12:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting Without Discussing

Bharatveer reverted my well sourced contributions to Indian astronomy without discussing, adding an insulting edit summary "reverted to a saner version". This saner version contained some unsourced and false statements which I corrected. Moreover, I had added a section 'Merucentric Astronomy' at the insistence of SteveMcCluskey who is a member of History of Science Project. This "saner" behaviour of Bharatveer is beyond comprehansion. Reverting is the last action one should take a resort to. Bharatveer has a history of reverting without discussing ( See his talk page). Is it OK ? -Vinay Jha 12:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Mr. Dab [2] has already clarified the matter on the talk page of the article, and no further clarifications are warranted. Cheers. --Bhadani (talk) 12:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Urgent: India page

Hi Bhadani, Since you are one of the most experienced Wikipedians, I thought it would be wise to get your opinion. In February 2007, we had an RfC on the Talk:India page concerning addition of new material (see here), and it was felt by a majority of the people commenting that stability of the article is important. Yesterday, out of the blue, Blnguyen, who has no history of editing on the India page, made a post on the page, that has created a lot of confusion. Could you take a look at this section of the Talk:India page? In particular, User:Sarvagnya, for example, has returned to his scheme for de-constructing the India page. (By way of background: Nichalp, who usually watched over the article is busy this summer; Ragib, who was subbing for Nichalp is busy too. Blnguyen seems to think that the page is in bad shape and is about to be de-FA'd. He feels that it needs many more citations (and their lack) is reason enough for it to fail an FAR. Nichalp, when he was active, discouraged over-crowding the text with too many citations (especially when the text was composed in the summary-style, as India is).
