Ahmed Deedat
Dear Gandfaru, I hope you are well. I recognize that you want to list Mr Deedat as being a Gujarati/Surti by ethnicity. That's fine, but you simply MUST provide evidence to support this. No sources in the article show this. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE and HERE. If you insist on re-inserting your claim without evidence, other editors will undo your edits based on WP:BURDEN. Regards, George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 18:51, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Deedat
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Jeff5102 (talk) 08:16, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Warning
Your recent editing history at Ahmed Deedat shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Dpmuk (talk) 16:21, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for edit warring, as you did at Ahmed Deedat. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Dpmuk (talk) 01:09, 22 March 2014 (UTC) Please note that this block is only indefinite due to the time between your edits and the fact that you did not try to communicate before carrying on with the same behaviour that had previously got you blocked. As soon as you enter into discussion you are likely to be unblocked. Dpmuk (talk) 01:09, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
