Removing !votes - don't do it

Important: Please do not ever remove people's !votes at Wikipedia:Today's article for improvement/Holding area as you did recently at (Diff page: [1]). Just leave them be, and let people contribute freely. Removing people's comments is inappropriate, and should never be done, except by admins in unique circumstances. It's unnecessary to modify the page in this manner, and this also goes against the grain of WP:NOTCENSOR. Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I believe the removal of votes was appropriate in this case as they were added "AFTER" importing to the Holding Area. We must not be having votes added after its imported, which is why I removed it, and noted the same to Amadscientist. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 18:10, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

No, it really isn't appropriate. Instead, consider sending the editor a message about the matter, rather than removing their additions immediately. It's unnecessary to micromanage on this level; removing people's comments leads to problems. There is significant precedent on Wikipedia that is against other editors editing the comments of others. Think about it: if I were to remove your comment, how would you feel about it? Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:16, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Have you notified User:Amadscientist about your removal of their comments there? If not, please do so right away. Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:17, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I realised I did not specifically tell him of that. Now  Done TheOriginalSoni (talk) 05:50, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

• See also: WP:TPO, "Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page. Striking text constitutes a change in meaning, and should only be done by the user who wrote it or someone acting at their explicit request.

Editing—or even removing—others' comments is sometimes allowed. But you should exercise caution in doing so, and normally stop if there is any objection..." Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:20, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually I have absolutely no problems with it, which is why we are in this fix now. I do not find it very incongruent with anyone editing my comments as long as they inform me about it, and they have a valid reason. Maybe the others in Wikipedia have a problem, but I dont TheOriginalSoni (talk) 05:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: Actor

• List the notable sources
• List the award nomination he got!

That should be persuasive! --Tito Dutta (talk) 15:19, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Finding sources for him is harder for me. I listed all five notable ones I could find. The rest, I still am not getting the hang of them... As for the nominations, I don't know if there are any pages online where I can find a list of nominations recieved by each actor. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

• They'll reject my post there tagging WP:Canvas if I post there. Post at WT:INB in a neutral way and ask to comment! --Tito Dutta (talk) 15:26, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Btw where are you from? Kolkata? TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Jadavpur --Tito Dutta (talk) 15:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Cool. I am from Howrah. Do you participate in the Kolkata meetups? TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:41, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

• No! Howrah? I thought you are from Singapore or Vietnam! --Tito Dutta (talk) 15:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Close enough. :P And you dont participate in the meetups? Why? TheOriginalSoni (talk) 15:48, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Will try someday. I am a new editor, trying to learn basic things.

• When you first posted at my talk page on CVUA, I felt you an incarnation of another user. See this one and this one was too good! --Tito Dutta (talk) 15:53, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
