  Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from M. S. Golwalkar  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 09:15, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Umayyad campaigns in India. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

Infobox changes require consensus. Please do not WP:edit war. Kautilya3 (talk) 23:18, 21 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring

edit
 

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. zzz (talk) 06:43, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Kingdom of Sikkim

edit

Can you elaborate as to why you say Sikkim was not independent post-1946? I added that change to a few articles besides the two you reverted, but, as far as I know, that information is correct. Sikkim was independent, since it joined India in 1975. ARR8 (talk) 12:55, 10 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sikkim was independent since 1861 too because it became British India's protectorate by the treaty of 1861, and at the time of independence India assumed those responsibilities. India signed a treaty with Sikkim's ruler that sustained Sikkim's protectorate status so the protectorate status in this sense was sustained since 1861 to 1975.  You should be providing sources for saying Sikkim became independent in 1947.

Mughal-Maratha wars

edit

As I've clearly mentioned in my edit, there's no legitimate source that states that the Marathas had won the war. So it needs citation. Secondly, the additional claims you've made along with it doesn't match the citations you've affixed. So you've not restored any sourced claim, but a misleading claim. The citations do not state that the "Marathas had quickly regained the lost territories." Furthermore, in that section you must only mention the outcome of the war which actually seems to be inconclusive, at the moment, and not what happened before or after it, which is irrelevant.

Tabiti Comments

edit

Well, first, let's stop with the slander of accusing me of being a sockmaster. The only accusation of being a sockmaster on my record was made by you, and rejected by the admin that did the investigation. If you review the closing comments you'll note that the adjudication was done because there has been no expansion of the article in a year, it remains a stub. Finally, your assessment of the positions is incorrect; 2 voted against the merge (you and desmay (RebeccaGreen labelled hers as a question and the IP was shown to be a sock of Falconfly)) and 5 for the merge (Otr500, myself, Aurornisxui, MarkAQuinn (not sure why you think he is a sock), Elmidae) Squatch347 (talk) 15:05, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello Orientls. When accusing others of being socks, please be aware of WP:ASPERSIONS. Making a charge which has no basis may be viewed as a personal attack, which is blockable. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:51, 13 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
@EdJohnston: I am confident that you had planned to leave this note on talk page of Squatch347 who was indeed caught and blocked for socking which he will himself never accept and never accept that MarkAQuinn was a sock ("not sure why you think he is a sock") yet he continues to falsely refer this account with clean image as a sock.[4] If this is not the case then still, would you rectify this and post the warning on the correct talk page? Orientls (talk) 17:32, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
I don't think I made a mistake in my placement of this note. But after review, the questions of sockpuppetry are more complex than I thought. From what was said in the AN3 report, it does appear that the Tabiti article was previously troubled by socks. But if you want to remove my notice from your talk page, you should do so. I am unclear on where Squatch347 accused you of being a sockmaster. I do see you claiming that Squatch347 used a sock here on 7 December, which was before he was blocked (in January 2020 due to the SPI case which you filed). If the charge that User:Tabiti is a sock hasn't been officially confirmed, then Squatch347 shouldn't keep making that charge. I will ask User:Krakkos why he put the suspected sockpuppet tag on User:Tabiti. EdJohnston (talk) 19:08, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

  You have recently made edits related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This is a standard message to inform you that India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.
