May 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Mr.Sarcastic. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, G. V. Prakash Kumar, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mr.Sarcastic (talk) 15:00, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to G. V. Prakash Kumar. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Mr.Sarcastic (talk) 15:12, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, spoiler alert: people aren't "blessed" with children. There is a biological process that makes them appear. We don't use sappy euphemistic language at Wikipedia. If you can provide a reference say "the couple had a girl" or "Saindhavi gave birth to a girl". Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:47, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I used the word "blessed" as an adjective Haredits (talk) 22:18, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know what "blessed" means. Children don't arrive because parents are "blessed". Children arrive because sperm fertilises an egg, a foetus is gestated, and a child is eventually born. "Blessed" is unsuitable for an encyclopedia, just like we don't say someone "passed away", we say they died. I also fixed the rest these edits. Obviously when someone has a child they have a baby, and if you intended to indicate when the child was born, it's unclear why you used confusing parentheticals instead of clear language. Further, when you respond on a talk page, don't add a new section heading. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:20, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
