Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Deleting everything to weigh the article down with criticism only

Kautilya3, i have edited to keep the page neutral rather than concentrate fully and solely on criticism. I urge you to keep it neutral rather than putting your best efforts in deleting important information which is trying to present both sides of the coin. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secular777 (talk • contribs)

I suppose this is about Yellapragada Sudershan Rao. Wikipedia summarises what reliable, third party sources say about a topic. I am afraid the stuff from the ICHR web site, which essentially functioned as his blog while he lasted there, isn't third party. It is also a WP:PRIMARY source, whereas Wikipedia uses WP:SECONDARY sources.

There is no policy about presenting "both sides of the coin." Wikipedia is not a newspaper or television channel, even though many people seem to mistake it to be one. We only strive to maintain WP:BALANCE within reliable, third-party sources. - Kautilya3 (talk) 09:56, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Kautilya3 you have removed several other independent third party references, including India Today, and egovernance magazine. I am reinstating those references as they are relevant.

When there is a dispute, the recommended protocol is WP:BRD. You should not make any further edits, but discuss on the article talk page so that all the involved editors can come to a consensus. In fact, the article is likely to be protected soon because of excessive edit-warring. So, discussion is the key. When you look at the article history, you can find links to the old edits (see WP:Diff), which you can mention in talk page discussion. - Kautilya3 (talk) 12:50, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

He probably put a message there mistakenly. I will fix it. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:22, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk pages

Hi Secular777, please see WP:TPHELP for how to write talk page posts. You need to use colons (:) for indentation, and ~~~~ for signing posts. - Kautilya3 (talk) 22:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
