Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at 2012 Delhi gang rape case. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please 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. 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Jetstreamer ^Talk 02:19, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Please advise

Hi,Thanks for your message. I am not in any kind of edit war. I am just trying to make wikipedia more informative. I am just new to edit wikipedia. I didn't know that undoing, correcting and adding more source to support my post is considered "edit war". I was acting on comments from editors.

I still fail to understand, if there is minor grammatical error in my 4 line post, why not editors just edit them. Instead of rejecting it entirely along with legitimate sources? Also the new sources I added are not yet been read completely before rejecting them. I will try to communicate with editors by pointing them here. Thanks!

Yes, you're partly right on what you say. Maybe the best way to interact with other editors is to discuss the changes at the article's talk page first. Just try it now, Wikipedia is full of people like you that wants a better encyclopedia for everyone. If you have any further questions you may ask me at my talk page or here by placing {{help}} and your question below. I will add a welcome template below for you to have all the necessary links. Welcome again and warm regards from Argentina!

P.D.: after you post a comment anywhere you might want to sign by placing --~~~~ at the end.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 02:38, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
