Your recent editing history at Golden Temple 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&mdash;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&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.''Reiterating what I've written in the edit summary. "Golden Temple" is the WP:COMMONNAME in "English" sources and this is an "English" Wikpedia, thus it gets the preference. A similar situation is that we do not call Germany "Deutschland", which is the common name in German, but not in English. In English it is Germany, so we use it. Open a talk page discussion if you are still not getting the point. We can discuss there.'' Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:39, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Hmmm this response is very adversarial. I'm completely new to editing wiki pages. Yet rather than you open the "talk" which i know nothing of, you put the onus on me, someone who knows nothing of said forums. I will not engage with you any further as I'm not educated in such domains. However i will be reaching out to the SGPC and other institutions for advise. The commonname or vernacular may indeed be incorrect, which you are failing to understand. I fear you did not even visit the 2 links i posted where it clearly states the correct name. And regarding English.... The indian populous is not small and all education systems are delivered in English. So your insinuation that wikipedia is for a western audience is wholly incorrect and verging on racism. Good day, I will not be discussing this with you further. 5jabLives (talk) 17:11, 23 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Yup, the onus is on the editor who wants changes to be made, not the ones who are maintaining WP:STATUSQUO. It is as per standard Wikipedia policy WP:BRD. You were on the verge of breaking 3 reverts, which is a lockable offence in Wikipedia. Second, the article is not meant for the Indian populace. It is for the global audience which includes people from Asia, Pacific and Africa too, thus English. Just to make you understand the last time what we mean by commonname, try a google "news" search with these two phrases with quotes "Golden Temple" and "Harmandir Sahib", the one with the higher number of hits is the common name. I don't know what you meant by "seeking advice" from SGPC and other institutions. Note that we have our own rules, SGPC and other institutions do not guide it. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:25, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
