I keep forgetting this since it is neither my occupation nor a common practice on internet; why not introduce the simple practice on wiki of a signature being automatic? After all one does log in or is logged in before one can edit; why the need for the ~ before someone can be identified? |

Also, the distinction between referencing published material versus citing well known facts or names is just that - the former can be wrong, incorrect, false, while the latter can be published and referenced but is silly to require and worse to expunge for lack of reference. |

Welcome!
Hello, DrJGMD, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome! --Ronz (talk) 18:33, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Unsourced opinions are better discussed on article talk pages
I've reverted two of your edits [1] and [2] because they appear more as personal opinions than content suitable for an encyclopedia article. It's best to discuss such matters on article talk pages, so editors can help determine what portions worth including in the article with proper sources. --Ronz (talk) 18:33, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear Ronz, I have tried to correct the passion flower page but your undoing it is coming across as an imposition of an anti Indian colonial mindset. As I explained before, when a billion or more people know something, or use a name and not another, the used name is what ought to be posted as used by them, and not some other that might have a published reference but might be wrong all the same. As for reference one can publish something and then give that reference, that does not make it correct.
It is a fact that what you call passion flower is known is known as Krishna Kamal (spelling not relevant, pronunciation is relevant in India, scripts being precise about pronunciation) or Krsxhna Kamala or Krsxhnakamal in India, and rakhi flower is an invented name, not known in the various states I am familiar with; the invention seems to be simply in order to forego mention of name of Krishna, and hence heavily biased with an agenda. If wiki caters to anti Indian bias, I am not going to fight it on wiki. Needless to say it will do wiki more harm for being opposed to truth even without anyone correcting it in any way or taking any action, just as a child not corrected for lies will be damaged by removing any spoken corrections.

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 12:33, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Gilgit. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. You might well feel that what you wrote is unbiased but as long as it has no reliable sources, it is original research.

Green Giant, if I find a wiki page saying that Russia is smaller than Mexico and correct it, and you call it a personal opinion, guess who would be wrong. What I had corrected were mistakes on pages of wiki and there was neither personal opinion nor original research, but merely extremely well known stuff. In contrast the uncorrected (or the now newly correction wiped out) version comes across as biased with an agenda pro something and anti something else. If I find where to post this for your specific attention, I shall.Dr, J. G. 05:34, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
