Dear Sir, I have been blocked for editing an article "Transotion (Linguistics)". In fact this article is not as per the standard of Wikipedia. It gives an ambiguous theory of grammar.It needs to be deleted. I hope you to take my sincere appeal seriously. Please unblock me. I am a laborious scholar of Wikipedia.

While we appreciate that you want to improve the encyclopedia, please understand that Wikipedia is not meant to be a publisher of original research. Instead, it is meant to summarize the points of reliable sources on a given subject. Therefore, whenever you add content to a page, you must cite a reliable source to back up your claims. If you need help with this, I'd suggest reading some of these policy pages:

Yes, it'd be best to take your concerns to the article's talk page, Birbal Kumawat. There, you can explain your issues with the content and seek consensus for your edits, which have been disputed. If what you want is to delete the article, English Wikipedia has an official deletion policy. Editors are expected to follow that and the deletion process, not replace sourced content with their own analysis of the article's content. If you don't understand our deletion processes (they are a bit overcomplicated), please ask for help at the tea house or help desk once your block expires. Editors will assist you through the process. But please do not insert your own opinions into articles, remove sourced content without a valid reason, or make any more legal threats.

Your edits

[edit]

Birbal Kumawat, your edits show that you are enthusiastic about linguistics, which is a very wonderful thing in my opinion. I have also noticed that you are an admirer of the late, great Geoffrey Leech. I had the privilege and honour of meeting Professor Leech a few times; it was a great loss to the field when he passed away, but his legacy lives on in his publications – I particularly recommend his Principles of Pragmatics from 1984. He wrote books on grammar, but also on other aspects of linguistic research, and was in fact remarkable for being an acknowledged expert in several different linguistic fields.

Why am I saying all this? Because Geoffrey Leech was not only characterised by being a brilliant linguist, but also by his polite, almost humble attitude; he would listen with interest and an open mind to what other scholars (including lowly PhD students like myself at the time) had to say and take their arguments into consideration. That is not to say that he could not be sharp in his retorts, but never, ever rude – as far as my limited experience tells me, and also according to people I know who knew him well. After all, he was the person who formulated the Politeness maxims. So what I wish to say is that it will be better for you to try to emulate that when you edit Wikipedia, and rather than assume that other people are wrong, there may be differences of outlook (such as the fact that transition phrases are not a feature of grammar), or even that other people may know things that you are not yet aware of. And if other editors are in fact incorrect, you will need to provide your reasons and sources for that calmly, politely, and without using derogatory terms like "foolish" or "rubbish". Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 11:16, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
