The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion nomination tag. I have restored it and warned them. Did this answer your question? –

Hi Pranish
You have just restored the biggest load of ruibbish I have ever read on a Wikipedia bird page. It would be helpful if you actually read the talk page before restoring the materail I removed. I have no problem with having an aviculture section but the issues highlighted in 2009 - "Based on the maintenance templates on this article that I found on WP:BIRDS, I did some copy-editing of the article. There was (and largely still is) a huuuge amount of information on capitivity with opinions and recommendations on "HOW TO" keep these birds in cages, exhaustive information on different types of diet in capitivity with absolutely no sources cited. I have trimmed these and re-written bits of these. I hope the editor who put it in will take note of the requirements to provide in-text citations for these if they want to add it back. Also, maintain a tone of an encyclopedia and not that of a "HOW TO keep parakeets" manual." are still there. The material is not good enough for wikpedia and therefore needs removing. If someone wants to re-create the section they need to write it properly. At the moment it's rubbish - Jon Harper — Preceding

Hello there, I've reverted that edit on
Alexandrine parakeet because I saw pure
Vandalism as you blanked two sections without any
Edit Summary! I'll do some research about it, and next time please explain what you really improved on articles on Edit Summary!

How can I check my edits count on mainspace?
Pranish|Message 20:07, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
When you look at your
contributions, you'll find a link at the bottom labeled "edit count". That link points to an external tool which provides an
edit count by namespace.
