Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Iamrcr (talk) 16:26, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Radhanath Swami

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

Krishna Das Babaji Maharaj

Hi there, you seem to know something about Vaisnavism. Do you know anything about the above subject? Any books that mention him (besides mine and Radhanath Swami's book)? Any citations? Years ago I made a page for him but it got deleted for lack of citations. They're like, "If he is not mentioned anywhere then how is he notable?" Good question. But a starkly amazing point for anyone who ever knew him. He was the single most all-around popular Gurubhai amongst all the disciples of Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati. Funny, Babaji could probably not care less. But I wish it could happen. Any ideas? Cheers--Rickbrown9 (talk) 16:07, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Would be nice to have an article on him in Wikipedia. I think there's coverage in reliable sources, we just have to find it. Let's see if I can dig out something we can use.-Gaura79 (talk) 19:23, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

October 2019

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Radhanath Swami. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Lupin VII (talk) 16:39, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Gaura79 reported by User:Editorkamran (Result: ). Thank you. Editorkamran (talk) 15:30, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

April 2023

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 16:09, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gaura79. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: .  Bbb23 (talk) 21:14, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I have no relation to the account Nihalojha Gaura79 (talk) 21:24, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Simple denial is not sufficient. You need to address the concerns raised at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Gaura79. Yamla (talk) 22:31, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

What are the concerns to address? I have been blocked before CheckUser evidence had been obtained. I don't have any relation to the account Nihalojha. Gaura79 (talk) 22:48, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:

My opponets in the disscussion on A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada talkpage launched sockpuppetry investigation claiming that I created another account to circumvent a 48 hour block for edit warring. The claim is ludicrous because for me, as an experienced editor (mainly in Russian Wikipedia, not here) with 15 years of experience to do something like this would be utterly unreasonable, to put it mildly. On top of that the newly created account posted on the talk page some gibberish comments and insults to other editors, something I've never done here. I can assure you that I'm not mentally retarded, because, obviously, only a mentaly retarded person would do something like that. I rarely edit English Wikipedia, and would gladly wait the 48 hours (believe me, I have so many interesting things to do in real life) and continue discussion with my opponents later. I was waiting for CheckUser results which would serve as a basis to prove my innocence. However the investigation was closed without even checking and finding out that the two accounts are most probably from different parts of the world. If you look at the article's edit history, you'll notice that heated discussion and edit warring between different users have been going on for years, mostly without my participation. Besides, my opponents accusations are based on false arguments. For example, they claim that I was engaged in whitewashing the article and wanted to delete from the article information of critical nature. This is not true, I objected against one particular source used in the article (and clearly expalind on the talkpage why this source was not good), I'm not against adding to the article criticism as long as it based on reliable sources. See here (Dāsānudāsa, one of my opponents in the disscussion called other editor's attention to that fact and to the fact that I was not whitewashing the article). I clearly explained what was the problem with the source used in the article, I did it several times on the talk page. A similar point of view was expressed [1] [2] by other experienced editor Hob Gadling Gaura79 (talk) 11:34, 25 April 2023 (UTC) Also I find it important to mention two things: 1. by the reason unbeknownst to me, admin Bbb23 preventively blocked me right at the start of the sock puppetry investigation, which prevented me from posting my arguments at the investigation page. 2. If you examine the edit history of my accusers Psychologist Guy and Editorkamran it becomes apparent that they conjointly have been editing the article not with the aim of improving it in line with Wikipedia rules and standards, but with the sole aim of adding to it poorly sourced controversial information of little encyclopaedic value. There's an apparent case of meat-sockpuppetry here.Gaura79 (talk) 12:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

If you examine the edit history of my accusers [[User:Psychologist Guy|Psychologist Guy]] and [[User:Editorkamran|Editorkamran]] it becomes apparent that they conjointly have been editing the article not with the aim of improving it in line with Wikipedia rules and standards, but with the sole aim of adding to it poorly sourced controversial information of little encyclopaedic value. There's an apparent case of meat-sockpuppetry here.[[User:Gaura79|Gaura79]] ([[User talk:Gaura79#top|talk]]) 12:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

I also don't understand the rationale by which Gaura79 has been blocked before a proper sockpuppet investigation. I note that has still be no CheckUser. Is that normal? At the moment it seems like they have been blocked based on one admin's suspicions. I personally don't see any similarity between his editing style and the alleged socks.

I also urge Bb323 and Yamla to review the block based on a CheckUser evidence. Or else, how do you expect Gaura79 to address the allegations? Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 12:05, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Admins can block users based on their own investigation into behavioural evidence. They do not need to list a reason. Based on what I can see Gaua79 is a fanatical Hare Krishna who identifies as such on multiple wikis [3] and has disrupted the Wikipedia article on A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada by deleting reliable sources. The white-washing claim is entirely valid, see his edit here [4], he did this 4 times. That is deleting a huge amount of text without a valid reason. He even removed academic sourcing that documented Swami Prabhupada's opposition to evolution. His claim above that he objected to one source is obviously not the truth as he has removed 4 references, not one. Basically anything negative about Swami Prabhupada, Gaura79 will delete from the article. This is not neutral editing. His claims about meat-puppetry are also false. Editorkamran was the first to add many of those sources but they are reliable. I do not know who Editorkamran is and have not collaborated with him, he merely added reliable sources so I restored them. We do not need to remove reliable sources from Wikipedia just because they may contradict our personal beliefs.

Cinosaur is urging admins to review the blocking. Nothing wrong with that but this user has not been active on Wikipedia since September 2022 but suddenly pops up to leave multiple messages to have Gaura79 un-blocked? This was likely a case of Gaura79 emailing Cinosaur. Based on Gaura79's own comments above he has some odd ideas about editing on Wikipedia as he is describing different editors as being his "opponents". This is not a football match. There are no opponents here. Gaura79 appears to be close to WP:NOTHERE, the user has had about 5 warnings before on his talk-page about edit-warring on articles related to Hare Krishna. I am not seeing productive editing from this user, only disruption. Psychologist Guy (talk) 15:10, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

1. I will just ignore your insults and come strait to the point: Yet again you blaming me in something I haven't done. There's no need whatsoever to give distorted interpretations to my actions: I clearly explained in review summaries and on the article's talk page the reason for reverting your controversial edits. I'm not against this information remaining in the article, it just has to be better sourced and put into context, because this is encyclopaedia and not a tabloid or Wikiquote, especially considering that we're dealing here with topics related to pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. Another editor (Hob Gadling) already pointed out these problems with your edits on the talk page [5] [6] but you conveniently ignored his arguments. 2. So where is "behavioural evidence" here? After I've been blocked for 48 hours a new guy comes registers in Wikipedia and posts some messages on the article's talk page, blaming other editors in "not reading Swami Prabhupada's books", insulting other editors and demanding removing Views section without presenting any sound arguments. If you look at the article's history you'll notice that there have always been some heated discussions over its content, nothing new here. Why would I create such a sockpuppet? What for? To avoid 48 hour block? How would it bring me closer to the desired result? Please answer me that. 3. For your information I don't use WP:SUL. I'm registered under my real name in the Russian Wikipedia, that's where I'm mainly active. I don't edit Wikipedia in other languages. Gaura79 (talk) 20:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

I can't comment on the SPI, it is up to the admins but you are a disruptive user so it isn't a loss that you got blocked. You white-washed material 4 times and you got blocked for edit-warring for 48 hours, I don't think you should pretend you did nothing wrong. You basically want to remove anything negative about Swami Prabhupada. It was explained to you on the talk-page why those references are reliable. You are also mis-quoting other users such as Hob Gadling. Nowhere did this user agree with your edits or say what you seem to be claiming. This seems to be some sort of "war" to you. Hare Krishna vs other editors. I don't want to get sucked into your nonsense.

On the other Russian Wiki you linked to you also identify as a Hare Krishna and because the rules are much less strict over there you have been editing many of those articles from an entirely positive way but it doesn't work here. How much have you received from ISKCON for your editing on the Russian Wiki? I see that you wrote most of the Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Russian Wikipedia article [7] and you have been editing it since 2007 obsessively. In-fact you basically wrote that entire article in 2015. I just translated that article and there is not one criticism of Swami Prabhupada on it, no mention of any of his offensive, racist or pseudoscientific views. The article has an excessive 498 (!) references and treats Swami Prabhupada as some sort of hero. This very much looks like paid editing. There is much conflict of interest here. Sorry I do not approve of your editing, it is not neutral. Swami Prabhupada had some good ideas but also a lot of bad ones, we can't just cite positive things about people, we have to report what reliable sources say. The Russian Wiki article you wrote is one of the most biased articles I have ever read. It is not neutral editing. You have been blocked and I have no interest in interacting with you again so I will not respond here further. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:42, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
