Disambiguation link notification for February 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bhatt Mathuranath Shastri, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Bhatt Mathuranath Shastri

On 13 March 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bhatt Mathuranath Shastri, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Bhatt Mathuranath Shastri pioneered several new genres in Sanskrit literature by writing radio plays, essays, travelogues, short stories, Ghazals, Thumris, Dadras and Dhrupads in Sanskrit? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bhatt Mathuranath Shastri. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

July 2013

Your recent editing history at Sagarika Ghose 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. See BRD for how this is done. 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. Blackguard 22:43, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shivram Dattatray Joshi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deccan College (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Modi

You really, really need to read the copious discussion over the last few months at Talk:Narendra Modi before making edits such as this. The article has been fully protected and people have been both blocked and banned for their behaviour with regard to it. For your own sake, please tread carefully and discuss before making substantial changes. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 10:16, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Can you please point to the discussion? Gmcssb (talk) 10:24, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I have done. - Sitush (talk) 12:38, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

September 2013

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Narendra Modi. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. 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; 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. Sitush (talk) 10:20, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Either you self-revert this now or I report you to WP:AN3. You are aware of discussions, you have been warned about edit warring and enough is enough. Have some patience otherwise you are going to be the latest casualty at the Modi article. - Sitush (talk) 12:38, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I see that someone else has reverted your efforts. Please let that be the end of it until you have consensus on the talk page. - Sitush (talk) 13:13, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Notification

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This is a non administrator notification, and will be logged as such on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system. 

You are getting this notification for to your edit warring. Darkness Shines (talk) 19:07, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
