July 2021

Your recent editing history at Perpetual virginity of Mary 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:39, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing I only did my second revert from early to ancient Christians here Special:MobileDiff/1033148701

That makes it two reverts only. Since you have added this thread to discuss or warn, please clarify whether you agree or not?

List of Neolithic archaeological sites moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of Neolithic archaeological sites, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

ARBIPA sanctions alert

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.

@Georgethedragonslayer: How does this apply to me? As per Wikipedia:General_sanctions/India–Pakistan_conflict I have already crossed the 500 edits and 30 day account criteria. Nor have I misbehaved in any way as of yet Nolicmahr (talk) 12:09, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some points about superstition

Greetings,

Thanks for joining in a healthy discussion @ Talk:Superstition about definitions. Since you have opened discussion with other user I do not want to jump in their at this point but would like to understand your perspective on following points

Your concern is about User:GOLDIEM J is using word 'any' at the place of 'a' or you do not agree with usage of word 'irrational' itself.

If it is the second case then

a) Word 'irrational' seem to have been used in at least 3 sourced definitions @ Superstition#Definitions

b) If one visits Draft:Irrational beliefs and Draft talk:Irrational beliefs usage of word 'irrational' seem to be coming from side scholarship of psychology and their usage is almost neutral

c) I discussed an instance of superstition @ humanities desk where in, until 20th century, some communities used to believe that 3'rd child would be unlucky for either of parents, now we decline existence of irrationality? because it would hurt folk, cultural or religious sentiments?

d) I doubt theists can agree on a definition of 'superstition' among themselves from theistic perspective without affecting interest of one religion or other religious belief, it is agnostic side only can bring in most neutral perspective.

e) Any ways most neutral definitions of 'superstition' will be pro science and affect theist side at least to some extent. so neutrality does not mean we do not take definition as given in sourced content on board but it means we include criticism of those definitions and article contains adequate criticism of definitions that way I find article neutral enough.

I wish to understand your perspective

Thanks for joining in healthy discussion Bookku, 'Encyclopedias are for expanding information and knowledge' (talk) 11:16, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not challenging scholarly works and i cannot afford to research them as of now, I just disagreed with the stereotyping of all or "any" belief in supernatural beings as superstition. The edit Special:Diff/1040598867 suggested that superstition is "any" thing "irrational or supernatural", which appears as if irrational or supernatural are somehow interchangeable with similar meanings.

The editor used "any" while the Merriam website for example uses "a", the edit was ie WP:OR, a conclusion not specifically found in it, I felt this was stemming from Antitheism/ WP:POV.

Of course belief in paranormal entities such as elves can be superstition, however supernatural beings such as a God or deities are considered religion nor superstition as far as I can see. Nolicmahr (talk) 12:20, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bookku: commented above Nolicmahr (talk) 12:22, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining your perspective. This defining is complex issue so we will keep discussing and working on it. Look forward to your continued support to this discussion.

Unreliable sources

Please take a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Citing a book from nearly 150 years ago is not particularly great. Whatever useful information it contains is to be found in far more recent works, which are also likely to be based on more modern methods and make reference to the breadth of knowledge on specific accumulated over the period. See also WP:MILMOS#SOURCES. If you have access to it, an ideal way to begin would be for you to look up your local university library or online repositories like JSTOR for appropriate sources.

Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 12:56, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arjayay I would disagree, this is a misunderstanding or overreaction.

WP: COMMENTARY says new analysis or own thoughts? Does it mention links? What new material have I added?

Special:Diff/1097565111

The lead mentions disputed territories of India without the related links, I just added the relevant WP: Links

You seem to favour the CPI or CPCs POV or don't want to WP: Link the page to related articles ie the disputed territories on a page about India.

Nolicamaca (talk) 10:53, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to "Pakistan occupied Kashmir" is a clear PoV - Wikipedia does not decide who is the "rightful" owner, or whether one side or another is an "occupier" - we solely report the de-facto position - it is part of Pakistan - Arjayay (talk) 11:40, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Arjayay If that is so, then use your time to get Pakistan occupied Kashmir deleted for "POV" rather than pushing your analysis or censorship on me.

FYI: Links exist on WP and because they meant to be used.

The page mentions disputed territories but you do not want them linked because of your POV. They not my own thoughts. That is a false accusation. Nolicamaca (talk) 15:39, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Khatri, you may be blocked from editing. There is no preference for redirects over WP:COMMONNAMEs of the article. Stop POV pushing obscure, unsourced, hoaxes, obsolete terms and phrases, redirects of which you have created, mostly unsourced. I've seen you pushing your redirects in many articles.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
