May 2020

Your recent editing history at Bob Dylan shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

September 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sanskrit. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please familiarize yourself with the relevant wikipedia guideline (MOS:ERA in this case) before making similar mass-changes.

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Please observe style and era conventions for BC/BCE dates

I first noticed this edit of yours at Sanskrit where you changed the era term "BCE" to "BC" all over the article. This was undone by User:Abecedare and addressed at the Talk page, and in two discussion sections above. You then reverted, again inserting your preferred version. I undid that. Then I noticed that the same thing happened in six edits of yours at History of Anatolia, and so I undid those. I thought I was seeing a pattern, and so I checked your edit at Culture of Israel, and I wasn't surprised to see that you had changed BCE to BC there as well. So it appears that you've changed the era abbreviations at:

• one article on a topic closely related to Hinduism,
• one article on a topic closely related to Islam, and
• one article on a topic closely related to Judaism.

I had to wonder if it was coincidence that in all three cases, the countries involved are primarily ones with a population that is overwhelmingly non-Christian. Please observe the conventions at the Manual of Style, in particular, MOS:ERA and MOS:STYLEVAR. Beyond that, MOS:TIES may apply to the three articles you tried to change. If you have a particular preference for using "B.C." because of its associations with the Christian religion, please restrict your changes to those cases where it aligns with the recommendations of the style guide. And don't forget to add something to the edit summary field about each edit you make. Your edit summary here was unhelpful, and seemed more like an attempt at a derail for an edit that lacked any guideline-backed justification, and I think you knew that when you made it. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:28, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Only warning

Hi, Prophet. I will just add to User:Mathglot's polite and explanatory post above that edit warring to push for your own style preference with a parroted edit summary as you did here — without even going to the talkpage — is pretty disruptive. Are you saying you actually read MOS:ERA, that you refer to in your edit summary? I will block you if you make another non-MOS-compliant change of era style in any article.
