Saint Thomas Christians

Hi, I removed your contribution to Saint Thomas Christians because it lacked a reliable source. You have reinstated it without adding such a source. Please could you let me know where you are getting the information from & I will try to sort it out for you. You can reply here & I will see it. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 15:35, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I see now that you probably intend to use Logan's 1887 Malabar Manual. It is not a reliable source, given that we have so many better and more modern sources available. I think that you should delete your edits until you can find something better. You might also benefit from reading WP:Citing sources, which gives you an explanation of how things are done. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 15:40, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Please, you are continuing to edit without responding here. You need to talk this through. - Sitush (talk) 15:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I have just reverted you again pending some sort of response. No-one is saying that your statements are wrong, but rather that they require better sources. Please talk. - Sitush (talk) 16:04, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

And now I am afraid that I have had to revert you again. Although most of your latest contribution differed from your earlier ones, you did repeat some parts regarding the Malabar Manual etc and for that reason I am going to issue a formal warning. This could all have been so easily avoided if only you would talk. - Sitush (talk) 17:42, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012

Your recent editing history at Saint Thomas Christians shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Sitush (talk) 17:42, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
