Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Jammu and Kashmir does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Kautilya3 (talk) 11:46, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Jammu and Kashmir. 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 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 lose editing privileges. 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 Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. IgnorantArmies (talk) 15:05, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Jammu and Kashmir shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

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. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Ranjan_s_nayak reported by User:Thomas.W (Result: ). Thank you. Thomas.W ^talk 15:32, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Ranjan Nayak, you have exceeded the maximum reverts permitted per day, and you are likely to get a block as a result. You need to go to the discussion page mentioned above, apologize for your mistake, and agree not to edit-war again. Please do this urgently.

When I reverted your edit this morning, I advised you to discuss your issues on the talk page of the article. You do not seem to have followed this advice.

In general, you should not delete any sourced material without discussion. You should not add any unsourced material. And, when you want to contest the appropriateness of any sourced content, you should discuss it in advance on the article's talk page. Please follow these tips from now on. All the best! - Kautilya3 (talk) 18:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ranjan, you are likely to get blocked, but its ok, block for new editor who edits India-Pakistan related topic is not a strange thing, it is routine. You should not get discouraged by this routine block and you are suppose to learn from block. Do not remove things from article that you don't like, you can discuss those issues at article's talk page. While editing Wikipedia we need to be neutral. Wikipedia can't be Pro-India or Pro-Pakistan. If you have any questions then you can ask it at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions. Just to explain about edit warring rule, you can't revert other editors more than 3 times within 24 hours, if you do so then you will get blocked, it doesn't matters if your edits were "true", "neutral" or whatever, you are not suppose to do more than 3 reverts in any case. Still it doesn't mean that you should do 3 reverts, better you follow WP:BRD and discuss things on talk page on first revert itself. --Human3015^TALK  18:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Hello Ranjan s nayak. I moved your post to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Ranjan s nayak reported by User:Thomas.W (Result: ) which is where I think you wanted to respond. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Jammu and Kashmir, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, you should not write excessively long posts. Nobody will read them, and you would have wasted your time. A typical post is 4-5 lines long. If you need to discuss a lot of matters, you can use bullet points, like I did. Please make sure to preview your posts and proof read them before you save! If they are badly written or hard to understand, you would have again wasted your time. - Kautilya3 (talk) 12:32, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Kautilya3 (talk) 12:18, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Ranjan Nayak, I have give you a fresh welcome message because you may not have read the previous one, and might have read it a long time ago. Please go through as many links above as you can so that you can edit productively. Please start with the "How to edit a page," especially the talk page guidelines. - Kautilya3 (talk) 12:21, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring at Jammu and Kashmir

Per a complaint at WP:AN3 (permalink) both you and User:IgnorantArmies are warned for edit warring. Any further revert by you that is not backed up by a previous consensus on the talk page may lead to a block, without additional notice. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 15:19, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Jammu and Kashmir is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBIPA

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
