July 2023[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Nalanda mahavihara, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

What do you mean not "constructive"? Work from two much respected historians D.N. Jha and A.S. Altekar are cited as reference. What reference do you have for your claim? Citizenwikifact (talk) 16:53, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Please take your concern to the talk page. At a quick glance, neither the historian nor the press (i.e. news article) are reliable.

Are you suggesting the historian D.N. Jha, a member of the Indian Council of Historic Research and author of multiple history text books for India's National Council of Educational Research and Training, the Indian government body which develops textbooks for Indian schools is unreliable? Citizenwikifact (talk) 18:28, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you first explain why you claim a respected historian like D.N. Jha is unreliable before reverting the corrections I made? Your 'quick glance' is more reliable than the entire life-work of a historian of D.N. Jha's stature? What is your agenda?@Fowler&fowler, Doug Weller, DaxServer Citizenwikifact (talk) 19:14, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nalanda mahavihara. 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 noticeboards.
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. Please see also WP:NPOV and WP:UNDUE. Thanks JimRenge (talk) 19:45, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are new, but you still should know that personal attacks are a bad idea[edit]

Also read WP:AgF. I’m sure you don’t want to be blocked for those sort of comments. Doug Weller talk 19:20, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was referring to Fayninja and Joshua Jonathan starting an edit war. It wasn't directed at you. Just wanted to bring this to your notice. Neither has been able to cite reliable references for reverting my changes and rely on statements like "At a quick glance" and "not constructive". Citizenwikifact (talk) 19:31, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Citizenwikifact I know your personal attacks and lack of good faith were aimed at others. See also the comment by JimRenge above about your edits. You are very nee here, you might want to accept that experienced editors know more about our policies and guidelines than you do. Doug Weller talk 20:28, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.
