Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Rajpurohit. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 18:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I completely understand your point but please try to understand my problem. I feel helpless currently and definitely I don't wish to use unfair means to aggravate edit warring. This person has gone below the belt now. He acquired editing rights and got back to remove the contents. Just think why will someone be so badly concerned with a page in particular ? He has malicious agenda and I myself have been more of a reader than an editor and therefore have a low hand in terms of editing rights. Sorry to say sir but this is a big loophole with wikipedia- people with correct knowledge and established facts are helpless and someone with propaganda and no knowledge can manipulate things as per his vested intentions. Sir I just wanna say that the issue is sensitive ini terms of dignity of not an individual but a caste as a whole; if you were an Indian you would have understood better.

I understand this is an emotive issue, but you're not powerless. You have, exactly like everyone else, the power to be part of the discussion. Wikipedia operates by consensus, not by reverting back and forth and then banning the people who were "wrong" about the content.

The page was reverted back to what it looked like before the edit warring, but that was purely because the edit warring was not a constructive process, and it was necessary to undo it so we can re-approach the issue in a calm, discussion-based manner. It doesn't mean that a decision has been made on how the page will look forever; no one user gets to make that decision.

Instead of asking for another user to be blocked or using insults, you should gather your sources and put together a civil, comprehensive, convincing argument for your preferred version of the page, and then post that argument at Talk:Rajpurohit. You and all other users who have views on the issue can talk about it for as long as it takes and - as a collective in which no one has more power than anyone else, regardless of their edit count - decide what is the best thing to do.

If you all can't agree, there are solutions available to resolve such disputes, but people almost always find a way to agree sooner or later. AntiDionysius (talk) 18:44, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk and discuss ? I already did that in his talk section. When I mentioned all the authentic references, he stopped replying but continued to be an antagonist. I respect that you as a mediator would always prefer to encourage discussion but I have little hopes with discussions as he has no knowledge with respect to the issue and most of the people within the Rajpurohit community won't use wiki as they rely on scriptures and books which are already well published. So no one bothers. Isn't it commonsensical that a cast/community that is Rajpurohit, a martial race which is thousands and thousands of years old with elaborate historical accounts, scriptures and epitaphs and hundreds of martyrs, is worth of only a few lines on wikipedia ? and all the pictures, records are simply deleted on the name of "point of view push" ? what a Blasphemy ! You certainly have power to revert to the most authentic version(the last that I could do). I request you to revert to that particular version and if possible enhance the security level to such extent that this person cannot reach(just in order to prevent vandalism and I don't need any extraordinary privileges) Anshu1799 (talk) 19:04, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that I "prefer to encourage discussion", it's that discussion is literally the rule on Wikipedia. I do not think you are correct that the other user is avoiding discussion; there is an active discussion thread at Talk:Rajpurohit which you have not participated in.

If I made the reversions you requested, I would myself be violating the edit warring policy and potentially get in trouble for it. I've explained the options available to you, and that isn't one of them. There's not much more I can do for you. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

well then it is wikipedia's loophole and misfortune that it cannot maintain authenticity. A provision to edit, open to all is alright but then check on authenticity and misuse is also essential. This is what makes it less reliable these days. Is it possible to take down this page entirely ? If it is then please do it or if you can forward such a request, since it is better to omit rather spread misinformation. If not, then something else would be done because this is unacceptable and a clear defamation of identity and I feel violated. Thanks for your time.

Your contributed article, RAJPUROHITS

If this was the first article that you created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, RAJPUROHITS. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Rajpurohit. Because of the duplication, your article has been speedily deleted. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Rajpurohit. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think the article you created should have remained separate, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 20:33, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that you can also create a userspace draft if you would like somewhere to draft your changes separate from the proper article. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 20:35, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
