Hi, your decision to undo my edit in Malappuram article was out of misunderstanding. In fact I had not added any new information other than what has been already there until someone moved them to another article. I had to revert the article to its previous state manually due to conflicting edits. Thus it might have appeared to be adding huge new content but in fact it was just a revert. I hope you understand and refrain from making further edits on the same. Thank you--Truebrother (talk) 16:51, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

I understand that some Wikipedia editors are extremely diligent, but I do feel it's rather rude to revert someone's edit while they are still in the process of doing the edit.

Promotional?

Sir, you've removed each and every line of a well-cited write-up addition tagging them as PROMOTION inspite of HISTORY and other factual info. The original page was lacking valuable info and was a stub. I worked hard on gathering facts and reputable sources. The latest article after ur edit is non-informative and requires a huge expansion considering a page of an established education board in the country. I won't argue on the fact that the tone may be a bit promo-seeming, but doesn't it when mentioning some accolades or awards and achievements; and also since most of my edit was in the section of achievements it would highly seem so, but it was never my intention to be advertising. I would like you to pls. review the info and if possible guide/frame it, iff. my writing wasn't satisfactory, as the page is important for WP India and WP Education_in_India. Thanks ! Indianwebwiki (talk) 20:32, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

POD, I suggest you reverse your close and relist this. Amatour82 created the article and they requested you close the discussion, particularly because you accepted the AFC.

This is a pretty involved close and I see it as a bad faith attempt on the part of Amatour82 to game the system and keep the article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 00:15, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

@Lemongirl942: I agree that this was borderline canvassing, but consensus clearly is for keeping the article. I'll ask another editor to review my close. I'm not sure about bad faith, right now I'll AGF. I don't think there was any bad intent, it was probably due to being a newbie.

• Oh, I'm fine with the close decision (FWIW I would have closed keep as well). My concern was more about the process itself - the fact that an AFC reviewer was particularly asked (that too with "I would be pleased to receive such support from you, because it is you who gave the green light to this article and believed in me"), is in bad taste. I have never observed canvassing for an AfD close on Wikipedia and I certainly don't want to encourage this.
