Saint Thomas Christians
[edit]Hi, you have now twice been reverted at Saint Thomas Christians regarding an issue related to Jewish origins. There has been much discussion of this point in the talk page for that article and, so far, there has been insufficient verification to make the assertion that you do without losing the focus of the article. You are welcome to participate in the discussion, which has now also been raised at the dispute resolution noticeboard, but it is not helpful to keep reinstating the statements that you do without such participation. Like it or not, Wikipedia works on the basis of consensus and at the core of its policies is that which is described in an essay, that we work on a principle of Verifiability, not truth. It can cause problems, I know, but it is how we work here. - Sitush (talk) 23:29, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

[edit]
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to John Abraham (actor), even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:07, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to John Abraham (actor). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. This is an encyclopedia, not a collection of positive trivia. Drmies (talk) 15:58, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to John Abraham (actor). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Drmies (talk) 04:00, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at John Abraham (actor), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You leave me no other option but a vandalism warning: you keep adding unreferenced information. To state the obvious: a source from 2007 can't state that a couple broke up in 2011.

[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Saint Thomas Christians. 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, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- 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.
You have been given guidance previously regarding your contributions to Saint Thomas Christians. They are in breach of consensus reached on the article talk page. If you should persist with your idiosyncratic approach then I will seek to minimise your disruption by requesting that you are blocked from editing. Sitush (talk) 08:06, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.--Cúchullain t/c 17:42, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
I've had to block you for a day because you kept on reverting others in the St Thomas Christians article. When everyone just keeps on going reverting and reverting, chaos erupts and we don't make progress on improving a page, so we've had to enact a rule saying that anyone who makes more than three reverts at a page in a 24-hour period is liable to being blocked. Please note: (1) You're welcome to edit when the block expires at this time tomorrow. (2) Discussion on talk pages (e.g. Talk:Saint Thomas Christians) is just about always a helpful thing to do. (3) While you can always be blocked for making four or more reverts to a page in a day, you can still be blocked for "edit warring" if you just keep reverting and reverting without exactly breaking the four-or-more rule.
