User talk:Chanakya Volume 2

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Kautilya3 (talk) 08:27, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Mathematics in medieval Islam without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary.

More to the point, when content is already cited and agreed between other editors, it is generally necessary to propose deletions on the article's talk page, and to arrive at consensus with other editors. Where material is correctly cited to reliable sources, removing it would have to be on grounds such as that it is not relevant to an article, or that more recent research, cited to newer and better sources, shows that the old material is wrong - but then, the material would be updated and cited to the new sources also: the old sources would likely be commented on, but not just deleted.

If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:18, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Mathematics in medieval Islam. 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: 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. The thread is already started on the article's talk page, and you were asked above to participate. Please do so.

 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Please stop making disruptive edits. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ''Cross article + blatant sockpuppetry (e.g. Mathematics in medieval Islam). -'' LouisAragon (talk) 15:11, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * 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 notice boards.
 * 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.

Procedures
Please stop making changes at Mathematics in medieval Islam. Instead, engage in the discussion at Talk:Mathematics in medieval Islam. At that page you may like to explain why your edits should be made. Wikipedia requires collaboration, and editors who try to push their views without participating on the talk page are eventually removed. Participating means explaining your reasoning and listening to arguments presented by other editors and responding to those arguments. Johnuniq (talk) 10:58, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
