Notice of discretionary sanctions on caste articles
edit
|
The Wikipedia community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups. |

Hello, I'm Ekdalian. You have been adding or changing content in an article, Kalita (caste), but you are ignoring the consensus mentioned in the edit summaries. Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kalita (caste); 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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. Thank you. Ekdalian (talk) 07:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello... The Varna was originally mentioned there before, I just edited it, add some citation, and did a minor grammatical change. So I am not understanding the problem, also as I searched through some other articles, Varna is mentioned in various other articles of other castes too...

- If something incorrect exists, that doesn't mean it should exist forever. Adding more citations won't help. I have clearly mentioned & provided the link for the consensus, you have ignored the same and engaged in edit warring instead. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing.

Then let restore it to the original version, as it was for years, again adding citation that they are Shudra will be total false thing, and even if that true, that Kalita should not be a General Caste. And lastly Varna is mentioned in Various other articles like Yadav, Kayasth in the lead section. Is not that a problem ?? Anonymustruth (talk) 08:25, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- Again! If something incorrect exists for years, it doesn't justify the same, how many times do I need to explain? I am sure Kayastha article doesn't mention their ambiguous varna status, I will check the article on Yadav, & remove the varna in case it's there in the lead section. You may also provide the wikilinks of any such article. Also, a new section on 'Varna' may be created on Kalita, and different opinions can be added. For reference, check the article on Bengali Kayastha, you will understand higher castes doesn't mean that they may not be considered as Shudra by some authors, also you will understand how different opinions on varna should be mentioned in a separate section.

I restored it to the original version, as it has been for years, "They commonly claim to belong to Kshatriya varna", so I'm not ascertaining anything definitely, claim means other people can have other opinion, I just cited the most common claim. And yes, Yadava article do mention that they argue Kshatriya varna. Anonymustruth (talk) 08:49, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
