Your best bet is to add a reliable source as a reference to back up your claims. Without a reference, your claims appear to be unsubstantiated, and as such, are grounds for removal. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 22:38, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Kushan Empire
Hi Dewan! Thank you for your note. And I am sorry if I upset you. I know from personal experience how hurtful it can feel when someone reverses your edits.

I would like to add that the study of the Kushan Empire is extremely complex and filled with uncertainties and very few experts agree with each other on many points. There are so many competing claims made about the Kushans, it is difficult to write about their history with confidence. Please feel free to contact me if there are any issues you wish to discuss.

WP:AN3 report
Hello Dewan357. You've been reported for edit warring at WP:AN3. You may add your own comment there if you wish. EdJohnston (talk) 04:27, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Dispute resolution
Although K.Khokhar was blocked due to that report referred to above, as an independent observer I think you need to be careful to avoid antagonising that editor and to take much more care in being neutral. In particular, your comment that "lady you dont know what you are talking about like all your fellow Pakis. The land forming modern day Pakistan formed India. Pakistan was never a land or a nation, India always was. Also your comments is an insult to all Indians. You are a raceist!" is an unacceptable way to communicate on Wikipedia. You used a term, "Paki", which is generally considered to be an ethnic slur, even if some Pakistani people use it or its variant, Pak, within their own community. You stereotyped a nation by saying that Pakistani editors "don't know what they are talking about", and you directly accused another editor of being racist, which is distinctly uncivil. And "lady" is generally a dismissive way of referring to women. Please deal with content disputes in a less inflammatory and a more collegiate manner.

HistoryOfSouthAsia
I am getting the feeling that you are thanking me for something I did not do. Perhaps you are referring to Mightymrt_away's edits here. Ironically, my stand as I have been outlined on here and here is that that the  HistoryofSouthAsia template is not useful in the lead of the main History of India article. The reason is that I believe that history comprises not merely of a chronology of kingdoms, but is a holistic subject dealing with social, religious, political, economic (etc) affairs of some people over a long period of time; and that to ignore economic history, social history, people's history etc of South Asia would be a gross injustice in presenting a comprehensive view of the state of South Asia through the ages.

I do not oppose the HistoryofSouthAsia template in other articles but I join issue with it being in the lead of the main History of India article. This is in view of my belief that it contains only political history and ergo does not adequately summarize the history of South Asia; indeed the whole orientation of the template is such that it cannot be modified to include other aspects of history. Hence it would be best to abandon its modification if that is being done with the purpose of putting the template in the lead. Regards--Shahab (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Note to User:Dewan357 regarding the section on the Kushans
I have sadly had to reverse User:Dewan357's edits once again. I have discussed all the reasons for reversing his account of the Kushans in detail at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kushan_Empire. Dewan, I have already reversed very similar text (making several of the same faulty points) which you entered on the Kushan empire page and given you ample evidence that the information is unsound and misleading on several counts. Why do you persist repeating the same mistakes? Have you not read my comments? If you have not, please do so before you repeat your mistakes in the Wikipedia once again. Finally, do not reverse my present edit once again. If you want to, please take the issue up with Wikipedia's administrators first. Yours, John Hill (talk)

Blocked
I have blocked you one week for your recent edit warring, while logged in as Dewan357 and under various IPs, on Mughal Empire. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

You have continued to edit war after being blocked, perhaps a week is not long enough? Regardless, if this continues, stronger measure may need to be taken to protect the project. -- Avi (talk) 23:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
