The Wikipedia community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in further inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups. |

Hello, I'm Sitush. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Goud Saraswat Brahmin, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 16:42, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Goud Saraswat Brahmin. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
- You have just reinstated the material again, adding another source that seems to be prima facie unsuitable. You really need to start discussing on the article talk page because you are very close to being topic banned or even blocked from contributing. Sitush (talk) 20:30, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
Warning[edit]
Stop edit warring on Goud Saraswat Brahmin to insert badly sourced material, or you will be blocked from editing or banned from editing Indian topics. I see you added one more footnote in your last edit, but unfortunately it links to a 404 Not Found page, at least where I am — Google Books is not the same everywhere. See User:Uncle G/On common Google Books mistakes. Please start by reading some reliable sources and then summarize them for Wikipedia; don't insist on your own version and then try to support it by searching Google Books for the terms you want to connect. Sitush has started a discussion on the article talkpage; please make your argument there instead of edit warring. Bishonen | talk 20:37, 1 October 2017 (UTC).
- @Bishonen: the new book url was actually malformed - it omitted a "?", which I fixed in the link I provided for it at the article talk. - Sitush (talk) 20:49, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
- Well, it seems neither you nor I can read the text referred to even after your fix, Sitush. We're in the wrong part of the world. But as you say on the talkpage, it's unlikely to be a reliable source. Madgaonkar, here's some advice for you: please use academic sources. Bishonen | talk 20:56, 1 October 2017 (UTC).
- Madgaonkar, this is unacceptable: a false accusation of vandalism is a violation of WP:AGF. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 23:19, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
Notice that you are now subject to a community enforced topic ban[edit]
For repeated disruptive editing including edit warring to add original research, synthesis and POV, I have decided, in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the terms of this community discussion, to impose the following sanction on you:
indefinitely topic banned from editing about castes, social groups, etc of South Asia anywhere on the English Wikipedia; this includes anywhere on articles, talk pages, user and user talk pages, categories, templates and anything else on the English Wikipedia
This sanction has been logged at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.
You may appeal this sanction to the community at the administrators' noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me on my talk page, before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. —SpacemanSpiff 00:13, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
