thread_title:  [[WP:INDIA]] Banner/Delhi Addition 

message: Eldest son of the legendary Lala Amarnath , Surinder Amarnath is one of the best Left handed batsman ever produced by india . An aggressive left hander of the 1970s , he had a huge fan following and the journalists often wrote about the raw deal he got by the selectors. Shashi Tharoor also mentioned once “ Surinder was naturally gifted and was just settling down in the Indian team before he was dropped from the side “ In his 12 Tests ( including the 2 against Srilanka ) he scored 2 hundreds and 4 Fifties . Having played most of his Tests abroad - he was settling down and was getting better and should have been persevered with. In india he had a 100% record . He scored 1 hundred and 3 fifties in the 4 Tests he played in India , but yet was most of the times dropped from the team due to selection politics whenever India played at home.

Also please state here exactly what wording you are proposing to  the article. That will allow other page watchers to comment on your proposed addition. When wording your addition, please ensure that you are using neutral language and opinions are attributed clearly. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

text: Articles on Wikipedia are written in a neutral tone, regardless of how great a particular player was. What you are referring to as "factual wording" here are considered to be in violation of WP:NPOV. Also "defining [anybody's] greatness" is not the purpose of Wikipedia.

replies: text: @Habibcricket, if you would like to learn more about how to cite the article you are referring to please read Wikipedia:Citing sources. I am willing to help you format the reference if you are having trouble, but you will need to provide information such as the author name, publication name, date, title of the article, page numbers etc (as I said above and on my talk page). Some editors like to use templates such as  or  for instance, and you might find using them easier, too, rather than manually formatting a citation. The issue with uploading a picture of the news article is that most likely it is copyrighted, so it can't really be hosted here except under exceptional circumstances (for more detail please read WP:NFCC). I believe that it should be possible to work in some information similar to what you are talking about, so long as it is well sourced, clearly attributed, neutrally worded and does not go into too much detail. If you wish to achieve that, please draft the sentence or paragraph you wish to add here on the talk page, so that others can help you adjust it so that it complies with site requirements.

text: G'day, if you are interested in understanding the process of contributing content, please read Wikipedia:Editing policy, WP:V, and  WP:BLP. The last one relates to contributing to biographies of living persons and is probably your best guide to contributing to this article. Threats to engage in revert warring and recruiting others to engage in disruptive editing, however, is against site policy. If you wish to add a quote from a journalist, please provide the correct citation information and include it in a neutrally worded manner, as I have asked you above. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 10:36, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

text: G'day, you seem to be missing the point about providing workable citations to satisfy the requirements of the site's verifiability requirements. I am not at all interested in this topic, but I am interested in making sure that information added to Wikipedia is referenced properly. As such, to assist you, I have added citations that I could find to some of the things you are trying to add, and I have attempted to reformat and rework your addition to make it more compliant with site policy. However, I could not find a reference for the comparison you included between Amarnath and Sobers. If you wish to add this back in, please provide the details of an appropriate source (e.g. a website, newspaper article, journal article or book) Just provide the details on this talk page and I will help you to work it into the article. Notwithstanding, please start listening to what I am saying about citations and neutral tone. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Surinder Amarnath 

message: Recently around a year back delhi and district cricket association hosted a function under the leadership of Retd justice Sen who was appointed administrator of DDCA by the Hon. High court of Delhi . This function was intended to honour all the players who captained Delhi  in the Ranji trophy. Mr Surinder Amarnath was one of them who was honoured as he captained Delhi in 1980. The function was covered by various news papers also. Also , incase someone didn’t know - Surinder Amarnath was selected in the Test squad in 1969 against Australia in Chennai when brother Mohinder made Test debut but Surinder Amarnath was made 12th Man in that Test and made debut only in 1975-76 . This needs a mention in the intro as it is one of the things Surinder Amarnath is notable for in the world of Cricket Dvasports (talk) 19:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: @Dvasports: As you have been told repeatedly, we cannot mention the 1969 Test squad selection without a reliable source, which you have failed to provide. As for the function that Sen hosted, please provide links to the newspaper coverage so that independent editors can verify the claims. —C.Fred (talk) 19:18, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

text: @Dvasports: If there is no published source, then we don't include it. It's not published at the BCCI site. I've even asked them, and I have not received a response about a published record. —C.Fred (talk) 23:23, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
