July 2019

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Atomic theory. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 04:35, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Why are you bullying me? I will revert it back if you don't give proper reason for its removal.Rizhwickh (talk) 05:44, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

You made an edit, someone else disagreed with it, you made it again instead of starting a discussion with that person. That's not a way to reach Misplaced Pages:Consensus. I undid your edit as a non-personal action, returning to the status quo before your edit that was disputed. That other editor made specific objections to your edit. I encourage you to start a discussion and come up with more reasons that your edit is good, rather than just saying you disagree with the other editor's action itself. As I noted above, merely repeating your same edit will just lead to your being blocked, which means your idea will not be implemented even before others have a chance to discuss it.

November 2019

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Chandragupta Maurya, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Begoon 07:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Misplaced Pages without adequate explanation, as you did at Chandragupta Maurya, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Begoon 13:35, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chandragupta Maurya; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 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. Begoon 13:47, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

• You're now well past the WP:3RR limit, and you've reverted contrary to the expressed opinions of several editors, multiple times. I don't want to start a discussion at WP:ANEW, because that will be likely to get you blocked, so please self-revert and start a talk page discussion so that I don't need to do that. Whilst, as I say, I don't want to see you blocked, I also won't stand by while you barge through your preferred changes against policy and without regard for other editors, so I advise you to take advantage of this opportunity. Thank you. -- Begoon 14:03, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
• I've opened a section at Talk:Chandragupta Maurya#Content removals by Rizhwickh in case you are not clear where to discuss this. In order to avoid a WP:ANEW report being necessary, and a possible block, please self-revert and try to reach consensus there. Please do not ignore this opportunity. Thank you. -- Begoon 14:54, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello Rizhwickh! Your additions to Shikharji have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Misplaced Pages.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Misplaced Pages:Translation#How to translate. See also Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:46, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Important alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hinduism and Jainism

I restored parts from this version from 2021 on my edit there. There was no need for you to restore the misrepresentation.

This source made no mention of a "genocide".

An IP reverted your edits and you falsely claimed the IP to be a sock and also falsely claimed that your edit was assisted by Huggle.

Stop this disruptive editing. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 04:49, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
