Hello, I'm FifthFive. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Quit India Movement, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Also see WP:RGW. FifthFive (talk) 05:52, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All sources are reliable. When I added the citations or sources, the editor automatically added each and every one. Yes now I see that the citations are not as per the syntax of Wikipedia. I have a PhD from a US university and I have published 6 books and numerous papers. Hence I know how citations work. Please see the citations which I added - if you click on the citations [20] to [24], each of then should go to their sources because when I added them, they found every one.

I do not want to type every things again. Is there any way to use all the typed sentences/paragraphs and only change the citations. Please let me know.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 and 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. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 13:27, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your suggestions. I have just deleted the copyrighted stuff from New York Times. If you are editing at Wikipedia, then you should at least know the importance of various citations, i.e. what type of citations these are and what they contain, You would have seen the citations, i.e. none of my citations are from dubious sources. The two 1942 British War Cabinet documents were written by Secretary of State For India in British Govt Cabinet. During British Empire, there used to have a Secretary of State For India in British Govt and he used to create documents for the entire Cabinet. Both the documents clearly stated that till then Gandhi was collaborating with Britain but now Gandhi thought that Japan would win WWII and hence he wanted British out from India and India to become a colony of Japan - that's why when British Raj (in India) made all the Gandhi papers public on August 4, 1942 in India, there was a big uproar and hence there was a news report in Indian Express August 5, 1942 (please see the citation number 20 from Google Newspaper Archives) - "CONGRESS PRESTIGE WILL NOT SUFFER" - it was because Gandhi's draft was not for independence of India instead, it was to make India a colony of Japan.

If someone just delete entire section and write a nasty comment about citations, then how you are going to believe? I have a PhD from Penn State and I have written 6 books and numerous articles. I have the person who has made these citations public for the first time. Thanks Sxk125125 (talk) 16:04, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the New York Times stuff as suggested by you and then republished the rest. But for your information, the entire article published by New York Times (and quoted by me) was NOT of New York Times, instead it was Gandhi's 1942 Quit India Movement Draft AS IS which was made public on that day by the British Raj all over India (to all press reporters also). Hence the New York Times stuff was published AS IS by several newspapers and magazines all over the world. I wanted reader to read the actual Gandhi's draft and hence I quoted it AS IS - that's why as per me it is not copy right violation at all because the words and paragraphs were not of New York Times at all (i.e. those were Gandhi's).
