You need to get WP:CONSENSUS at the talk page once you see several editors reverting you. Dougweller (talk) 13:00, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- I still say you need to take it to the talk page. Please. Dougweller (talk) 15:31, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- I am sure Misplaced Pages has many competent editors who can edit in a neutral and unbiased manner on India related topics. Unlike you I don't have time to sit 24x7 on Misplaced Pages and fight all day long. So thanks but no thanks. Lindashiers (talk) 15:49, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- It is very simple. This is Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages operates on the basis of consensus, as linked by Dougweller above. It is entirely possible that what the Misplaced Pages community decides does not conform to "truth" as some people think it to be but, regardless, the rules here apply. There is no need to watch over things 24/7 but there is a need to abide by the policies and guidelines that have been established by the Misplaced Pages project over many years. If you happen to disagree with this then your options are (a) try to change the policies etc or (b) publish what you think to be a correct version elsewhere on the web or in print. It really is that simple, sorry: you accept the principle of consensus or you go elsewhere. If you think that the interpretation of consensus itself is wrong then there is always dispute resolution - a range of possibilities for challenging someone's interpretation by appealing to a wider group pf Wikipedians. - Sitush (talk) 00:02, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Consensus is only one of Misplaced Pages's core policies, albeit an important one. I have clearly explained WHY consensus is not required in the present case - it is a simple behavioral misunderstanding which is already resolved. Apparently some of the regular "vigilante" (and subject-incompetent) editors at Misplaced Pages appear to be in the habit of driving away competent editors who have expert knowledge of the subject and are "content creators" rather than plagiarist hacks. If you don't know even the ABC of the subject please don't edit the article or interfere with those who do. I hope this is simple enough for you to absorb.

- You are quite obviously not a new user. Please can you familiarise yourself with WP:SOCK, just in case there is a breach going on here. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 08:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
